Firmness Info

Firm feel top of the bed you need - no sink or give. Comfortable, yet solid under your body. Extra support - best for back and stomach sleepers, or side sleepers with larger body types. A 8-9 on the firmness scale.

On a scale of 10, our mattress has a 6.5 firmness level. We like to refer to it as a "medium firm" - soft at the top, firmer in the middle.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Dawn offers extra support and a firm feel, it has four layers of construction:

  • Cover: Helix Two Touch Design
  • Comfort Layer: Helix Dynamic Foam (Density: 2.45 PCF)
  • Transition Layer: High-Grade Polyfoam
  • Body Shape Layer: 6" Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer: DuraDense Foam.

Each component of the MOLECULE mattress has been engineered to work synergistically to maximize support, comfort and heat dissipation for the best recovery-focused sleep. Featuring a 4 layer construction:

  • 1" BioCharge™ layer
  • 2" AirTEC™ layer
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 6" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

Comfort Info

Better sleep leads to peak performance. It's not just the quantity of your sleep, it's the quality. Your body restores itself most during Slow Wave Sleep - replenishing blood and oxygen and releasing essential hormones. Sleep scientists and athletes engineered Molecule's unique sleep system so you benefit from the most revitalizing stage of rest, optimizing your body's recovery and performance.

Support Info

Specially designed using proprietary Helix Dynamic Foam to react to your body shape and aid recovery.
Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you extra support based on your body type.

The firm base support fosters healthy spine alignment.

Comfort Specs

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

The most restorative rest happens when your body temperature is cooler. Only Molecule offers this revolutionary airy, extreme open-cell structure for consistent cooling even when compressed by your body weight. Cozy support with more than seven-times the airflow of traditional memory foam. Active people need more support and airflow than traditional egg-crate foam mattresses can deliver.

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.

Ergonomically-engineered Molecule features a meticulously-engineered matrix of hexagon-shaped channels that respond to your unique anatomy and promote airflow even at the deepest depression points. You awake refreshed with relief from sore muscles and joints. Larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region. Varying hexagon zone density around the legs and feet to support the lower body.

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.

Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra. It wicks away heat and moisture to keep skin comfortably cool. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, Molecule's advanced cover material responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Microban® antimicrobial treatment keeps your mattress fresh and clean.
