Comfort Info

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.

Variable Pressure Foaming VPF™ is the most environmentally-friendly foam manufacturing process.

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

Comfort Specs

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to react and contour to your body.

Proprietary foam (RestoreFLO™) has enhanced and consistent airflow properties, even when compressed. The foam is infused with gel micro beads for ideal temperature and moisture management. Scientifically tested for long-lasting durability and comfort.

Support Specs

High-Grade Polyfoam
Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Wrapped Coils
Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer.
Edge Support
Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.

RestoreFLO™: Features exceptional pressure relief.
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

Helix Two Touch Design
Each mattress comes with a top cover layer with stretch and a soft touch as well as a lower cover layer for airflow and breathability. Top cover - 100% soft polyester. Lower cover - Jersey knit fabric with woven fire barrier.
Upgrade to ultra cool knit cover for cooler nights (available at checkout). This Ultra-Cool Cover is designed using phase change material to keep your body cool when you sleep. Simply zip on the Ultra-Cool Cover in place of your standard cover for quick and easy use.

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.
