§ 9 Product

1. 1. Mattress

   Our mattresses have as many as 4 layers made of modern foams.

   • Sov-Thermoactive™ (7cm)

   The innovative production technology of this foam was first used by NASA. It forms the top layer of the mattress. This foam gradually adheres to the body and reproduces its shape, which gives a feeling of wrapping.

   • Sov-flex™ (5cm)

   The highly elastic foam used in the middle layer of the mattress is knurled-cut to increase its flexibility in the appropriate pressure zones (7 zones). It is also characterized by exceptional resistance to distortion. Thanks to its irregular structure, it ensures free airflow, which is conducive to the process of active ventilation.

   • Sov-base™ (10cm)

   The thickest layer of the mattress is comfort foam. This material is extremely durable and resistant to heavy loads. It stabilizes the structure and provides proper support for the body.

   • Sov-monobase™ (4cm)

   The basis of the mattress is Sov-mono base foam. It is the base material for Sov-base™

   A good cover is one where each side fulfills its task as best as possible. And yet, the top part has an entirely different role than the bottom part. At SOVEA, we thought about it. That’s why the upper part of our mattress cover is made of “Thermal Control” fabric, which ensures good thermal regulation. The bottom part is characterized by great adhesion, thanks to which the mattress adheres perfectly to the bed frame. The sides of the cover ensure good ventilation for the mattress.

   1. Pillow

   The SOVEA pillow is filled with thermoelastic foam , which ensures an intelligent adjustment to the shape of the body. How is this possible? The thermoelastic foam consists of millions of cells with a hollow structure. Under the influence of pressure and heat, their form changes. The pillow becomes “plastic” and adapts perfectly to the shape of your body. The SOVEA pillow, apart from high-quality filling, has:

   • A system of holes ensuring perfect ventilation, which affects its durability and comfort of use;
   • Removable cover made of “Thermal Control” membrane fabric, which is made of natural TENCEL fibers with excellent thermal regulation properties. The cover is washable up to 40°C;
   • The optimal size of 40–60 cm is recommended by orthopedists.

   In addition, the SOVEA pillow is an anti-allergic product, ideal for the whole family. Effectively eliminates pain in the cervical spine and head, neck stiffness, or restless sleep.

   *Foam layers may differ visually in individual pieces of the mattress, and this is due to the pigment and materials used in a given production batch. However, this does not affect the usable properties of the foams themselves, which are the same in each mattress.
