Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
Above the pocket springs are 4 layers of foam. Air flows freely through the perforated Gel-Infused Latex Foam, maximizing breathability and comfort. Then you have the three layers of HD poly foam to keep the mattress from sagging.
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
Built to last with a 20 year warranty and durable materials like 1600 individually wrapped coils in king and cal king with 15 gauge wire. Plus it supports 550lbs per sleeper (1,100lbs total).
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.
