Comfort
Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed).
The top AirTech® Comfort foam layer increases the cosiness of the mattress, giving the sleeper a great sleep, night after night. Manufactured in the UK, AirTech® foam is the very latest in memory foam technology, and is 30 times more breathable than some leading foam brands. This, and the memory foam's unique open cell technology, helps to promote air circulation, keeping your mattress fresh and keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night.
Support
You’ll find up to 1,500 of these ingenious springs nestling in our essential mattresses; each individual Aerocoil® spring flexes gently in response to you and your partner’s movements, offering personalised support to each of you without disturbing the other.
The OTTY Flex utilises our own AirTech® foam - an open cell foam which offers a perfect blend of comfort, breathability and support. The AirTech® Support layer helps to provide a great level of support. This helps to ensure the sleeper wakes up pain and niggle free. The pressure-relieving profiled base has three specially-designed zoning areas, which helps to improve comfortability.
