Universal Comfort Adapts to Your Body

Buoyant, 2-inch hypergel and 1-inch thick Essence surface layers give the Essential a luxury firm lifting support that contours to your body and reduces muscle and joint pressure-points. While not as robust as the series 2, the Essentials provides solid support for side, back, and stomach sleepers at an affordable price.

Interlocking Zoned Lumbar Support for the Back

Our patent-pending Lumbar-Flex™ interlocking lumbar support sits higher in the mattress without sticking out like a speed bump, giving you the most effective zoning to prevent hammocking of the midsection.

Sleeps Cooler All Night Long

Hypergel surface adds buoyancy that provides a cooler sleep all night long.
