Layer breakdown
Memory foam comfort layer
1″ thick · 3.6 lb/ft³ density
Measured at 3.6 lb/ft³ — clears the ~3.5 lb/ft³ durability bar we'd hold memory foam to even under heavier (200 lb+) sleepers.
Memory foam transition layer
1.5″ thick · 1.6 lb/ft³ density
At 1.6 lb/ft³ this foam sits under the ~2.7 lb/ft³ we'd want from memory foam — low-density foam tends to soften and take body impressions sooner, especially under heavier sleepers.
Latex transition layer
1.5″ thick · 4.4 lb/ft³ density
Latex resists softening and body impressions far longer than comparable foams — a durability plus at any body weight.Latex is naturally temperature-neutral — it sleeps cooler than most foams.
Polyfoam transition layer
0.5″ thick · 2.9 lb/ft³ density
Measured at 2.9 lb/ft³ — high-density foam like this resists softening and body impressions, one of the strongest longevity signals in a build.
Coil transition layer
0.5″ thick · 19-gauge steel
Coil support core
8.5″ thick · 13.5-gauge steel
13.5-gauge steel — thicker wire than most, built to carry heavier sleepers without giving up support.An open coil core is the best airflow a mattress can have — body heat vents out instead of building up.
Polyfoam base layer
1.5″ thick · 1.1 lb/ft³ density
At 1.1 lb/ft³ this foam sits under the ~1.4 lb/ft³ we'd want from polyfoam — low-density foam tends to soften and take body impressions sooner, especially under heavier sleepers.
