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).
Our unique cooling gel is infused into the top layer of memory foam and keeps your body cooler for longer, while the Air Flow system actively removes excess heat from the mattress by letting fresh air circulate through the perforations in the sides.The OTTY Cool Blue Gel pin-core technology helps to regulate your body temperature, resulting in a better night's sleep. OTTY luxurious reflex foam relieves pressure and adjusts to your ideal sleeping posture, providing you with the best possible night's sleep.
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 high-strength foam sides offer edge-to-edge support and add up to 25% sleeping area. OTTY springs are placed at the core of the mattress and are the biggest factor in creating a supportive and responsive mattress, that enables your body to find the most comfortable position, every night. The secret lies in the quality of the spring - we use a special 1.6mm gauge, 14cm long encapsulated pocket spring which is not only perfect for creating support, but also durable enough to last decades. Our unique Encapsulated Pocket Springs offer optimal support for your joints and back and eliminate motion transfer, allowing you and your partner to sleep undisturbed. High-density foam creates a sturdy base for the mattress, ensuring longevity and preventing dips and sagging.
