Information relating to the materials used

Cold foam

In comparison to conventional foam materials, cold foam has a significantly higher level of elasticity and durability. It owes its name to the fact that lower temperatures are used in its production than with other standard foam material. Owing to its open cell structure cold foam is particularly suited to moisture absorbent and is breathable. Of course, there are varying degrees of firmness in connection with cold foam with the same low level of duration compression fatigue.

Latex

This naturally occurring raw material from the Southeast Asian rubber tree ‘havea brasiliensis’ boasts particularly outstanding characteristics when combined with synthetic latex. It reacts to pressure in a point-elastic way and adapts to any body form on an individual basis. Its open pore cell structure – a result of its complex production process – creates an excellent means of regulating temperature. Our latex also takes hygiene into account as it is naturally antibacterial and so fights against the build-up of mould and or gathering of mites. Furthermore it is extremely resistant and durable.

Viscolastic foam material

This foam material reacts very sensitively to pressure and temperature. It supports the resting body in a point-elastic manner and precisely adapts its contours based to the pressure as well as the temperature coming from the body. The body weight is therefore distributed evenly so that a let-up of pressure can occur. In addition to the anatomically correct positioning, this visco foam material has the advantage of reducing any movements during sleep arising from an uncomfortable lying position, which can even disrupt circulation and in this way it supports restful and recuperative sleep. Based on its pressure-bearing characteristics it can also be suitable for preventing bed sores as people with limited motor function suffer from certain pressure sores which are caused by constant application of pressure on particular parts of the body. Through its point elasticity the viscolastic foam material offers support precisely where it is needed – without impacting on neighbouring regions of the lying surface which equally afford their own unique kind of support. Viscolastic foam material was originally developed by NASA in order to protect the astronauts from the phenomenal compression forces during the rocket launch.
