The Active Support Technology® in all of Leggett & Platt's inner springs provides a dynamic response to natural body movement and reacts intelligently to individual body contours. One of the latest advancements in sleep surface technology, the mattress actually becomes firmer for needed support as weight is applied. The coils adjust instantly to your sleep movements, comforting and supporting your body actively as you dream. And with the reduced motion transfer that our Active Support Technology offers, customers get a good night's sleep every night.
Springs sleep cooler. When you consider that it has been clinically proven that sleeping cooler actually improves quality of sleep, that is a very important fact!
Springs don't break down like other materials. After 50,000 rollator cycles, visco loses 16.3% of its firmness, latex 19.4%, and poly foam an incredible 43.7%. Compare that to some types of springs, which break down just 5.4%.
Only a fraction of the huge quantities of nuts are collected for industrial use. The food industry is the main consumer, and it focuses on the coconut meat, jettisoning the fibres as a waste product. Our UK suppliers give these valuable raw materials a new purpose in life.
Coconut fibre has a very high lignin content so it is very tough. Despite this toughness, it is also elastic. The fibre hardly deteriorates at all over time. To make the fibre resilient and to make it possible to create very open and ventilating structures, we spin the fibres into ropes. These ropes are transformed into sheets and then sprayed with natural latex, juice from the rubber tree, to provide structure and elasticity.
The latex that we spray on the coir sheet is inherently hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and dust-mite-resistant, making it perfect for allergy sufferers. Natural latex is a fully renewable material. Coir is a product that is naturally adapted to the human body. We feel comfortable in coir, just like we feel comfortable in wool, cotton and horsehair. The difference becomes quite clear when we put on, for example, a shirt made of polyester.
Its open and resilient structure allows Cocoloc to create a good micro-climate (which is an advantage with mattresses, furniture, car seats, filters etc). The structure also absorbs sound and certain waves, making the material excellent as a thermal and acoustic insulation product. Cocoloc can be treated with natural additives to meet a range of international fire retardancy standards.
Our UK suppliers use natural latex as a binder and resilience enhancer. They like to take care of nature as much as she takes care of us. Our latex is 100% natural, is completely biodegradable, uses a lot less energy in production compared to synthetic rubber, and uses no health enhancing chemicals or masking agents.
Application of coir on sprung mattresses as insulating material has many advantages over usage of conventional padding like foam:
