Glossary
The degree to which a mattress conforms to the contours of your body and provides support at specific pressure points.
The transfer of movement across the mattress surface. Minimal motion transfer means you feel your partner moving less.
The aeration of the mattress. Good ventilation ensures a cooler and fresher sleeping experience.
Material that is less likely to cause allergic reactions and is resistant to dust mites and mold.
The ability of a mattress to return to its original shape after being loaded.
Comfort zones are parts of a mattress that each offer a different level of support. This ensures that the shoulders, back, and hips, among other areas, receive appropriate support. Bedworld, for example, offers mattresses with seven comfort zones for better weight distribution and sleeping posture.
The comfort layer is located above the springs or mattress core and largely determines how the mattress feels. A comfort layer can, for example, consist of cold foam, memory foam, latex, or hybrid foam. The material influences, among other things, the softness, pressure distribution, and ventilation.
HR stands for High Resilience and is used for cold foam. The number, for example HR45 or HR55, refers to the density and quality of the foam. A higher value generally means that more material has been used and that the foam is more durable and resilient. The HR value does not directly indicate the firmness.
This indicates how many pocket springs are contained in one square meter of the mattress. A higher number of springs usually provides finer and more precise support for the body. Micropocket mattresses contain smaller springs, allowing more springs to fit into the same surface area. Bedworld uses mattresses with 500 pocket springs and models with very fine micropocket springs, among others.
The mattress ticking is the cover that goes around the mattress. It protects the inside and contributes to ventilation, moisture regulation, and hygiene. Some covers are removable, washable, or feature an anti-allergic treatment.
