Firmness Info
The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The 9" PacBed Original is back and better than ever! Leaner and lighter than the 11" version, the PacBed Lite still offers the great comfort and support that you expect from the PacBed, but at a lighter price. A 2-layer construction:
  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Gel-Infused Memory Foam
  • 6" 2lb Density High Quality Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.
Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:
  • 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
  • 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.
Comfort Info
Support foam created to work in tandem with our CoolRest® Gel memory foam and provide perfect support for consistent and long lasting comfort.
The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.
Support Info
High quality support foam designed to support and correctly align your spine so you can sleep better with less tossing and turning.
Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.
Comfort Specs
Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions.
We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.
Support Specs
CoolRest® advanced gel-infused memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing and turning.
We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.
Fabric Specs
Soft polyester knit cover for comfort and stretch, perfect for memory foam. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable for better temperature control. Accentuates the memory foam feel.
The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
