Family of Sustainable Foam Technologies: EcoFlow™
EcoFlow™ is a new family of eco-friendly products that provides more sustainable bed design options.
- EcoFlow Polyol: 100% renewable bio-polyol for specialty and conventional foam
- Bio ThermaGel: particle gel made of plant-based, renewable materials that provides the same comfort and support of ThermaGel™
- Bio ThermaPhase Gel: combines bio-based phase change material with our Bio ThermaGel providing comfort, support, and cooling
- AquaCool® Bio: clean, water-based cooling surface coating with a very high level of bio-based phase change material
Low Density Performance Foams: CoolFlow™ Light & Energex™ Light
CoolFlow™ Light is the newest generation of open-cell viscoelastic foam producing a lightweight, breathable, and durable foam well suited for mattress toppers and bed-in-the-box applications.
- Lightweight memory foam
- Breathable open-cell structure allows heat and moisture to dissipate
- Extremely durable with no body impressions and minimal softening over time
- Well suited for compressed packaging
Energex Light is the newest generation of open-cell viscoelastic foam – producing a lightweight, highly adaptive, temperature-responsive foam designed to adjust rapidly to individual comfort needs.
- Ideally suited in bedding as a lightweight resilient alternative to memory foam
- Breathable, open-cell structure allows heat and moisture to dissipate
- Adapts to the body for a livelier sleep surface while maintaining partner isolation
- Provides the pressure relief of memory foam with the “memory”
- Extremely durable with no body impressions and minimal softening over time
- Well-suited for compressed packaging
nanoTek™ Thermally Conductive Additive
nanoTek™ is a family of thermally conductive additives designed to improve the thermal performance of bedding and comfort foams. Its high surface area provides improved coverage of foam cell struts to help ‘close the circuit’, connecting conductive pathways for improved heat flow in three dimensions.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Technology
Carbon Fiber reinforced foams have a conductive endoskeleton offering enhanced cooling and support with supreme durability. Carbon Fiber Technology also aids in the recharging of PCM in AquaCool for long lasting thermal comfort.
Enhanced Coating Solutions: Conductive AquaCool®
AquaCool™ is a clean, water-based surface-infusion coating with an exceedingly high content of phase-change material. It is a breathable post-treatment that can be applied to molded or slab foam and, fabrics, fiber, and other surfaces to provide a durable, long-lasting cooling effect. We also offer AquaCool enhanced with thermally conductive additives to act as a super-conductive highway for heat flow that doesn’t simply cool – it helps maintain the ideal temperature for sleep comfort throughout the night.
