There's a reason copper is used in electrical wiring, motors, and -- occasionally -- by desperate gamers trying to beat the red ring of death. This is the wonder of conduction. Conduction in foam refers to foam types that are infused with highly-conductive material that rapidly disperse your body heat away from you as you sleep. A prime example of this is found in our copper-infused memory foam. It utilizes flecks of actual copper throughout the foam to spread your body head away from the point of contact.

Airflow is a more straightforward form of cooling technology, but its benefits are undeniable. The dreaded “oven effect” that was unfortunately common with first generation memory foam bedding was simply a result of a lack of breathability. Airflow is the solution and, as such, foam has since been engineered to retain its density and slow-recovering, pressure-relieving qualities while also allowing for airflow. A perfect, proven solution.

Temperature regulation is the third and final method of cooling technology, and it comes in several different forms. “Temperature neutral” and “temperature responsive” are two examples of foam types that fall under this category. If a foam is temperature neutral, its firmness will not be affected by temperature. If it is temperature responsive, its feel may change and become more resilient in the presence of body heat. Essentially, temperature regulation refers to how the material in the foam is engineered to respond to changing temperatures. The addition of Phase Change Material to the foam would also fall under the category of temperature regulation, but we will cover that in its own section.
