How is the Idle Memory Foam Mattress Made?
Through extensive research, Idle Sleep has created a unique memory foam mattress using gel cooling technology in their layers. Unlike old memory foam that sleeps hot, these gel infused layers help keep you sleeping cool without any uncomfortable night time sweats.
These foams also have a rapid response technology built-in which makes “sink holes” a thing of the past. They recover quickly to retain their shape when you change positions without leaving your mattress with deep body impressions.
All the Idle foams are made with CertiPUR-US certified foams which means they don’t contain any ozone depleters, TDCPP, PBDE’s, lead or mercury.
Only all natural 100% cotton fabric is used on the cover to give it a luxurious feel and breathability.
Idle mattresses are made with a 2.4lb base versus the industry standard of 1.8lb to ensure extra durability.
