Introducing the PostureFlex™ Hypergel-Infused Comfort Surface. This one-of-a-kind technology uses a gel-infusion to give you extra buoyant lifting support right where you need it. Many mattresses are either too soft and lack support or too firm and can't contour to the bumps and curves of your body. Our Hypergel surface adapts instantly to the bumps and curves of your body to give you instant pressure-point relief. Our PostureFlex™ gel infusion provides an adaptive, conforming surface that matches your body like memory foam, however, unlike memory foam our hypergel has a buoyant, "springy" lift that help to come up to meet you, filling in the gaps in support and preventing you from sinking into the mattress too far. With the newer "gel-type" mattresses you get the benefits of latex and memory foam without the pitfalls!

Similar to the lumbar adjustment you may have in your car, select BackFlex™ adjustable base models come equipped with fully adjustable back support so you can control your overall back support on the fly. Depending on how far down the mattress you lay (from head to foot of mattress), you can control whether you add in extra lumbar support or more overall back support. On days when your back is extra sore, recovering from an injury, or otherwise needs more support than you normally do, you can use select adjustable base models to bring in extra support through the mattress that adjusts with the press of a button. In addition to the basic adjustable base features that allow you to raise and lower the head & feet section of the mattress, the adjustable lumbar / back support allows you to fine-tune your comfortable resting support level on the fly.

At the core of the Back Science™ mattress is the ResiliFlex™ strengthening support transition layers, which serve to add extra conforming support to the mattress and prevent you from sinking in, as well as reinforce the zoned lumbar support and edge support in the mattress. Using our ResiliFlex™ high-density support foam, we create a strengthened barrier around the edge of the mattress to prevent you from feeling "pushed off" the edge of the mattress. With the exception of the all foam mattresses, such as the Essential, which uses ResiliFlex™ support foam to give a strong, motion-isolating foundation to the base layer, our mattress models use high-quality, individually-wrapped, U.S. steel spring coils to reinforce the buoyancy and support of the mattress. Our wrapped coils, with over 1,000 in a king size, are zoned to bolster the edge zoning and reinforce it even further to take your edge support and lumbar support to the next level.

Traditional mattresses using wool, cotton, or other fiber top-layering need to sew or tuft the inside layers of the mattress into the cover to keep everything in place, similar to how a down "puffer" jacket works. However, due to the nature of our PostureFlex™ gel-infused adaptive comfort layering, we have designed a modular cover system that can be unzipped and opened on the fly for easy access to make adjustments or customizations to the feel and support, while keeping everything locked in place tight with our GripLock™ stretch technology. Our stretch cover technology not only allows for easy modifications, but also bolsters the buoyant support and plush comfort of the Back Science™ bed by pulling in at the sides and creating a loaded "spring" effect in the top layer, resulting in even greater support and an even more luxurious feel. Many mattress companies are afraid to show you what's inside your bed and so choose to sew on their covers despite not needing to. At Back Science™, we prefer to allow the customer to customize and easily access the insides of their mattress in the unusual case that an adjustment or modification is needed, and wish to promote the spirit of transparency and honestly with our customer base.

Our *Patented Airflow Transfer System Cooling Technology is a system of using thousands of holes in the upper portion of the mattress that connect all the way through to horizontal channels lower down in the mattress to allow for up to 100Xs more breathability than other mattresses on the market. This technology works by allowing air to freely flow through many pathways in the top of the mattress and out the sides, and vice-versa. Creating these open pathways exponentially increases the breathability of the mattress, which does the work of carrying your body heat out throughout the night and keeping the total system's temperature down as a result. Continuously cycling new air throughout the mattress over the greatly increased surface area created by the airflow transfer system provides a breathability and cooling effect that cannot be achieved any other way.

Our head of product development, Chiropractor Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C. developed and patented this technology in 2006. Since then, many manufacturers in the industry have tried and failed to replicate this technology with various methods. Many mattresses on the market ventilate their layers by punching holes through them without channeling, which presses one end of the holes agains the flat layer below it and, much like a bunch of pipes sealed at one end, don't allow nearly as much, if any air to actually flow through them. Some mattresses simply groove or channel the sides of the bed which, not only don't allow for nearly the same level of airflow as connecting them to the top, don't actually ventilate the top layers which are storing the majority of your body heat.


While technologies such as PCM, or "active" cooling in mattresses has been a staple and somewhat effective technology used in mattresses in recent years, they provide a "cool to the touch" sensation when you first lay down, that does not tend to last throughout the whole night. While active cooling can play a helpful part in keeping your mattress cooler and help you fall asleep, without breathability, any mattress will still get hot as it absords the heat from your body. Ultimately, the combined natural cooling effect of the hypergel top layer of the Back Science™ bed paired with the Airflow Transfer System™ creates a much cooler sleeping experience over the other technologies on the market.
