Why We Don't Use Memory Foam In Our Mattresses

LATEX

VISCO (memory foam)

Materials

Natural rubber* (+ synthetic latex SBR in blended latex)

Polyurethane

Body conformity, support & body surface pressure

Optimal body conformity through natural elasticity and homogeneous cell structure.

Follows the body’s natural contours. Removes areas of high pressure.

Provides individual support and comfort in any sleeping position.

Distributes body pressure evenly – avoids bed sores BUT for healthy people pressure distribution is generally not a problem and through the large contact area there is greater resistance to turning and impaired freedom of movement resulting in the sleeper waking up trying to turn.

Resilience

High resilience provides quick recovery of the shape and support characteristics of the mattress core when the sleeper turns or moves during the sleep process allowing easy movement.

Very low resilience results in rigid body weight impressions  which impair the sleeper from moving adequately.

Ventilation / Sleeping climate

Open, interconnected cell structure and pin core design provide excellent ventilation resulting in a dry and healthy sleeping climate.

Closed cell structure results in very limited airflow through highly compacted cells.

Large contact area generates  greater heat build up and reduced air flow.

Health

Öko-Tex 100 Standard certified (free of harmful substances).

No certification – (undisclosed chemical composition)

Beneficial to Allergy sufferers

Inherently hypoallergenic, bactericidal and anti-fungal, does not harbor dust mites.
