3" Pluracel V^x Memory Foam | 8" High Resiliency Support Foam | Fire-Safe Inner Cover

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.

High Resiliency Support Foam

The foam under the memory foam is just as important as the memory foam itself. Once you have sunk down into the memory foam and it has conformed to your body, you need good base foam to catch your bones. We use "high resilience" base foam that is similar to the foam in a car seat. It is durable yet comfortable and supportive.

A lot of memory foam mattress companies cut corners and use low quality base foam to increase their profit. Many of the low price mattresses you see on the market have inferior quality base foam under the memory foam.

The PacBed and PacDown use only HR base foam with a rating of 24/32. That means a 2.4 lb density with a 32 IFD. In this industry, most manufacturers will consider our base foam "overkill" in the quality department. We decided to pay more and charge less for a mattress that we know will last and provide superior support for your body.

Why do we do it? Because we believe that everyone deserves to have this mattress and get a great sleep at an affordable price.

Fire-Safe Inner Cover

Every BedInABox™ memory foam mattress is fitted with a firesafe cover. We do this to protect you and your loved ones and to comply with the new federal open-flame mattress standard, 16 CFR 1633. We recommend that customers consider adding our optional waterproof cover to their order. Moisture is an enemy of memory foam. If you have pets, small children or a loved one who may experience occasional incontinence, our waterproof cover will protect your investment and insure years of enjoyment from your mattress.

The optional Platinum Mattress Protector Waterproof Cover we offer is made in America by Southern Textiles and carries a Ten Year Warranty. The durable waterproof surface prevents body fluids and skin flakes from reaching the mattress, making it impossible for dust mites to live there. It is breathable and has an easy fit skirt.

CertiPUR-US is like having a health check-up for foam. The foam is examined and put through a series of scientific tests -- to be sure it meets the strict voluntary standards of the CertiPUR-US program. The tests evaluate foam content and important durability factors. Only foam products that have been tested and approved are certified by CertiPUR-US.
