CUTTING EDGE TEMPERATURE REGULATION
As research has proven that temperature plays an important part in achieving quality sleep, many bedding companies have introduced a wide range of cooling techniques and technologies. While “cooling” has been an industry buzzword for quite some time, more and more manufacturers are expanding into “temperature regulation” with a variety of different materials that work to keep a warm sleeper cool and a cool sleeper warm. For retailers, these new features serve as another important selling point for consumers looking for more personalized comfort options.
Whether in the form of innovative bedding accessories, unique foam formulations or technologically advanced cover fabrics, the products we’ve highlighted here offer a superior level of
temperature control that is sure to resonate with customers. By Gretchen Kast
FXI The Temperature Regulation Factor system
is a unique program from FXI that is used to differentiate and communicate the benefits and performance level of the company’s various foam formulations. FXI offers a wide variety of specific foam products at all three performance levels. The MemGel Swirl foam, a TRF 2.0, is made from an open cell visco foam formulation and features gel-infused waves to enhance airflow and maintain good temperature management. Products at the TRF 3.0 level add heat dis- sipation properties to the open-cell airflow. Gel-Trix foam, for example, features a high concentration of engineered gel in targeted regions to rapidly transfer heat away from the body. At the top TRF 4.0 category, high performance foams like the Aerus MAX are made with the most extreme open-cell for- mulation, offering the highest level of air- flow available on the market, in addition to the added benefits of both heat and mois- ture dissipation, for a superior level of tem- perature regulation.
THERAPEDIC
Over the years, Therapedic has continually enhanced its mat- tress portfolio to include a variety of different temperature man- agement technologies. The successful EcoGel2
collection is a
unique gel-on-gel line, fusing its exclusive hourglass-shaped layer of gel atop gel-swirled memory foam. This design allows the mattress to sleep 30% cooler than any other foam bed on the market. Therapedic’s new AgilityAir collection builds upon traditional gel technologies by combining pocketed mini-coils with a convoluted reticulated foam support layer. This combi- nation further boosts airflow throughout the entire mattress to better regulate the sleep temperature throughout the night.
