Comfort
Copper-infused Memory Foam whisks away your unwanted body heat allowing for a balanced temperature distribution throughout the night. Copper naturally works to provide you with a cool, clean sleep.
The most advanced Pod yet introducing new Room Climate and Weather Response, a Comfort Blend Integrated Topper, GentleRise Wake Up Technology, and double the number of sensors enabling new Heart Rate Variability monitoring and a Daily Health Check report.
Support
Our unique five-zoned cut foam provides just the right amount of support in all the right places. Each zone specializes in specific pressure point relief and lumbar support. The different cuts and contours in each of the five zones provides additional airflow.
Active Grids are designed to relieve pressure points, regulate temperature, and track biometrics. In terms of airflow, elasticity, and instantaneous response to your body impressions, the Airflow layer outperforms other foams. As millions of air cells reduce pressure in sensitive areas, Supportive Air Technology comforts your body. The FlexSpring technology core offers enhanced cradling performance and high support. The premium base layer provides natural bounce while still absorbing movement.
