What the Series 2 has to offer

Double Lumbar Support Zoning

Lumbar-Flex™ double-interlocking zoning offers maximal support under your lumbar to promote proper spinal alignment while taking pressure off your shoulders and legs.

Weightless Floating Support

Our Posture-Flex™ hypergel offers a pressure-relieving surface that contours to your body and keeps you floating on top of the mattress, instead of sinking in.

Orthopedic Design

Our 7-layer design gradually transitions from the softer surface to the firmer base layers to cradle your body and prevent “bottoming out” on the mattress.

U.S. Steel Pocketed Spring Coils

Over 1,000-count, individually-wrapped, motion-isolating spring coils use the highest-quality U.S. steel to give support and durability that low-count bed-in-a-box coils can't compare to.

Dual-Action Quantum Edge Support

Our quantum edge coils strengthen the sides of your mattress and prevent that “squishy” feel,working together with the edge support cradle to further reinforce support.

Airflow Cooling Technology

Patented Airflow Transfer System®* technology opens up millions of airflow pathways, providing up to 100Xs more breathability so you sleep cooler all night long.

Doctor-Designed & Recommended

After over 25 years of testing and development by Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C. - Back Science is recommended by doctors, surgeons, and healthcare professionals alike.

Bamboo Cradling Comfort

Our Kool-Flow™ cover uses 100% viscose of bamboo to stretch and contour to your body, and comes with microvented knitting for breathability and coolness.

Quick & Easy Adjustments

If needed, the GripLock™ modular cover system unzips for easy access to the inside layers, allowing for quick, easy, and free comfort adjustments from afar during trial without the hastle of shipping.

Kool-Flow™ Bamboo Cover

  • Luxury cover is uses 100% viscose of bamboo and a microvented knitting for unbeatable breathability that keeps you cool all night long.
  • Stretches to allow the mattress to truly contour to your body and fill in the gaps in your support, while relieving pressure-points.
  • GripLock™ modular zipper system keeps layers held in tight while allowing for easy access to the insides, in case you need to adjust the firmness later.

Flex-Comfort™ Ventilated Hypergel Surface (1")

  • Softer, gentler surface takes pressure off your shoulders, hips, and joints to help prevent pain and discomfort
  • Lifts up to fill in the gaps in your support, promoting optimal
    spinal alignment and keeping you floating on the surface, instead of
    sinking down in.
  • Adapts to the bumps and curves of your body to provide personalized, contouring comfort and support
  • Naturally-cooling gel material is ventilated for maximum breathability and cooler sleep.

PostureFlex™ Hypergel Lift Layer (2")

  • Provides greater lift and resistance, offering transitional support from the softer top layers to the firmer bottom layers for a more orthopaedic design.
  • Lifts up to fill in the gaps in your support, promoting optimal spinal alignment and keeping you floating on the surface, instead of sinking down in.
  • Adapts to the bumps and curves of your body to provide personalized, contouring comfort and support.
  • Naturally-cooling gel material is ventilated for maximum breathability and cooler sleep.

HD-Flex™ Ventilated Transition Layer (1")

  • Provides a firmer, more resistant support to reinforce the responsive hypergel surface above.
  • Smooths out the transition from the softer top layers to the firmer bottom layers for a more orthopaedic design that's gentler on the body.
  • Quick-response foam springs back to add to the buoyant, "hybrid" feel of the mattress.
  • Ventilated to maximize breathability and keep you cooler all night long.

Lumbar-Flex™ Zone Interlace

  • Double-interlocking lumbar zone interlace works together with zoned layer beneath to provide extra support in the midsection — where most people are heaviest — to prevent dipping and sinking into the mattress and promote proper spinal alignment.
  • Zoned design allows the upper and lower body the contour and adaptability they need while properly supporting the hips and taking pressure off the lower lumbar and shoulders.
  • Interlace design makes this piece easily removable should you need to make an adjustment in your support to provide additional pressure-relief on the hips

HD-Flex™ Zoned and Channeled Layer (2")

  • Zoned section in the middle works together with the zone interlace to provide double-reinforced lumbar support and promote proper spinal alignment.
  • High-density flex-foam provides additional reinforcement to strengthen the mattress and prevent sinking in.
  • Channeled design supports the lumbar zone interlace for easy adjustment and connects with upper ventilation holes in the layers above to open millions of airflow pathways and provide up to 100Xs more breathability, giving you cooler sleep all night long.

ResiliFlex™ Edge Support Cradle (3"*)

  • Ultra-durable, 3-inch thick cradle surrounds the middle portion of the mattress to strengthen the edge and prevent a "sinking" feeling when sleeping near or sitting on the edge.
  • Works together with quantum edge coils underneath to give a double-reinforced edge strength that stays robust over time.
  • Helps prevent feeling of "slipping" or "falling off" when on a raised adjustable base, as often happens with mattresses without proper edge support.

Individually-Wrapped Spring Coil Layer (6")

  • Over 1,000-count, individually-wrapped, U.S. steel spring coils provide a robust foundation to strengthen and reinforce the structure of the mattress at its core, while giving it that buoyant, hybrid mattress feel.
  • Our high-count coils are individually-wrapped to absorb and isolate motion so you won't have to feel your partner's movements in the middle of the night.
  • Ultra-durable, highest-grade U.S. steel spring coils — over 1,000-count in king size — far outlast low-count, bed-in-a-box coil systems to provide lasting support that won't give out on you or leave you sinking in a hole. Backed by our double-strength, 30-year Back Science® limited warranty*.

Quantum Edge-Support Spring Coils

  • Ultra-durable, U.S. steel quantum edge coils wrap around the perimeter of the base to strengthen the edge of the mattress and prevent a "sinking" feeling when sleeping near or sitting on the edge.
  • Works together with support cradle above to give a double-reinforced edge strength that stays robust over time.
  • Double-count quantum edge coils offer twice the surrounding coil count to provide proper edge reinforcement.
  • Helps prevent feeling of "slipping" or "falling off" when on a raised adjustable base, as often happens with mattresses without proper edge support.

*Double-strength limited warranty protects you against dipping and sagging in the mattress of over 3/4-inch vs. most other mattress warranties which don't cover until you dip 1.5 inches down into the mattress.
**3-inch thick edge support cradle wraps around upper layers to strengthen edge, but does not add to mattress height
