Pluracel foam made from Pluracol® materials, is slab formulation technology that produces variable recovery rate urethane flexible foam. This material is designed to reduce pressure and cradle the body to provide superior comfort qualities. Pluracel foam can be easily varied to provide property and "feel" characteristics to meet a wide range of applications. Foam buns cure quickly and do not need crushing. Pluracel foam helps make more comfortable, more luxurious cushioning.
BASF utilizes Dynamic Mechanical Analysis to target the properties and features of Pluracel foam. With this tool, Pluracel foam formulations can be adjusted to move the glass transition temperature, and target a specific temperature range for visco-elasticity. Also, we analyze the height and breadth of the curve as a
means of targeting recovery rates and pressure relief qualities. Pluracel foam represents state-of-the-art slow recovery foam technology targeted at the luxury bedding and specialty cushioning segments. BASF helps make the processing easier and helps correctly target properties in the manufacture of visco-elastic foams. BASF makes memory foam better.

The fabric used to make the
PacBamboo mattress cover is produced utilizing natural, additive-free bamboo fiber extracted directly from bamboo culms (culms are the same as stems). Long known as an eco-friendly and quickly renewable resource, bamboo fiber is naturally anti-bacterial and deodorizing and has unique stretch and recovery characteristics. Our knitted,
PacBamboo mattress cover breathes, absorbs and evaporates moisture with amazing efficiency and is incredibly soft to touch. It works to wick away moisture and prevent heat build-up from the memory foam inside.
The cover has a zipper which makes it convenient for removal and cleaning. The high strength Bamboo fabric, with its soft luster and silky feel, provides a comfortable, fresh sleeping environment-naturally. All covers meet the new Federal Standard 16 C.F.R. Part 1633, effective July 1, 2007.
If there is a rival to the comfort and value of our
PacDown memory foam mattress (with the goose down cover), it's the
PacBamboo memory foam mattress.
