What is Geltex?

Geltex is an innovative fusion of gel beads, foam crystals and air-filled cells. It delivers the ultimate in comfort and support by offering triple benefits:

Incredible body support

The elasticity of Geltex offers immediate spring-back, providing perfect spinal alignment and tailored body support.

Optimal pressure relief

Geltex has a highly flexible and responsive structure. By distributing body weight evenly, Geltex prevents pressure point build-up, yet offers support where you need it most.

Unrivalled breathability

The open-cell structure of Geltex allows air to pass through easily, enhancing breathability and reducing the risk of overheating as you sleep.

Gel foam vs memory foam mattresses: what's the difference?

Both gel and memory foam mattresses offer great support and pressure relief. The key difference between the two lies in the foam-making process. Gel and memory foam are both made of viscoelastic foam. However, gel foam is infused with gel beads during production. This causes gel foam to feel different in two ways:

• Response rate

Gel foam bounces back to its original shape much quicker than memory foam providing extra support and easier movement.

• Temperature regulation

Gel foam mattresses offer greater air circulation allowing you to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
