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.

The Helix Plus is designed for Plus Size and Big & Tall and offers maximum support with a medium feel, it has five layers of construction:

  • Tencel Cover
  • 1.5" Helix Dynamic Foam
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam (Density: 4.0 lb)
  • 1.5" Memory Foam Plus
  • 8" Body Shaped Innersprings with reinforced perimeter
  • 0.5" DuraDense Base Foam.

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.

Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights.

Support Info

High quality support foam designed to support and correctly align your spine so you can sleep better with less tossing and turning.

The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.

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.

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body.
Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend.

Support Specs

CoolRest® advanced gel-infused memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing and turning.

Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support.
The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.

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.

Each Plus mattress comes with our Ultra Breathable Tencel technology designed to increase airflow and to keep you cool.
