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.

All the essential features at an affordable price. Featuring a 3 layer construction:

  • 2" RestoreFLO™ layer (Density: 2.5lbs, ILD: 9)
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 7" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

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.

Our engineers set out to develop the perfect recovery-focused mattress at an affordable price that still incorporates the key elements of Air-Engineering that sets MOLECULE apart. The MOLECULE 1 is the perfect combination of value and temperature-regulating features. Furthermore, Molecule mattresses are fabricated virtually emissions-free. Variable Pressure Foaming VPF™ is the most environmentally-friendly foam manufacturing process.

Support Info

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

An ample seven inches of firm support foam in the base layer fosters healthy spine alignment.

Comfort Specs

Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.

RecoveryFLO™: Precision-contoured 3D geometric surface provides targeted, self-adjusting support for different parts of the body. A 3-Zone dynamic response layer with smaller diamond zones for a softer feel around the head and feet and larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region.

Fabric Specs

Our advanced cover material features a unique combination of heat and moisture wicking technologies to further regulate the microclimate between your body and the sleep surface. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, an embedded temperature sensitive polymer, responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra.
