Apollo 18cm Memory Foam Mattress - 4ft6 Double

Product Information

Designed for users at high to very high risk, or have existing tissue damage (pressure ulcer grade 1 to 4) Contour – Up next, you’ll find yet another layer of memory foam. This material has a similar feel to the one above it, but has swapped out the copper infusion for an open-cell design, which helps to promote extra airflow throughout the bed. I think folks who have traditionally avoided memory foam because of its tendency to trap heat could find a lot to love in these cooling layers! There’s also not a lot of bounce to this bed, so combo sleepers in need of high mobility may want to look elsewhere. Apollo is a single-firmness mattress made up of five layers of foam and steel coils. Each layer has unique qualities which combine to create the distinctive comfort and performance of the mattress: To get more specific about what the Apollo has to offer, let’s chat about its unique construction! The Apollo Mattress in the Sleepopolis bedroom What is the Apollo Mattress Made Of?

Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight stomach sleepers may sink too deeply into the comfort layers, especially if they weigh closer to 230 pounds. Humidity management to help prevent tissue breakdown and skin maceration through the spacer technology

First layer: 2 inches of high-density CopperGel™ memory foam. This cushioning top layer is infused with two cooling agents – micro gel beads and antimicrobial copper. It contributes to the immediate pressure relief and slow body contouring you experience as you lie down on the mattress. Foam density: 3.6 lbs/ft 3. Apollo offers a 15-year warranty on each mattress. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship or manufacturing. The warranty is very particular about which types of defects are covered. Your warranty may be void if the mattress has spills, stains, cuts, or tears on the cover or the foam inside. If you use the Apollo mattress without a compatible frame, it can also void the warranty. Second layer: 2 inches of 5G open-cell memory foam. It works with the layers above and below to reduce motion transfer. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft 3.

The comfort layer is two inches tall and is made of copper-infused memory foam. This layer has a slow response but offers a deep cradle for comfortable pressure relief in the hips and shoulders. Copper in this layer has a cooling effect as it dissipates body heat. In addition, it has antimicrobial properties. The mattress includes 20 cells consisting of 3 static head cells and 17 alternating cells. Individual cell's 'air on air' construction reduces the risk of 'bottoming out' as the lower section of each cell remains inflated to provide a supportive base.

Hip Pain– Those with shoulder pain usually focus on softer mattresses, but even a medium firm can help relieve the pain. The Apollo mattress has that mid-range firmness to keep the body aligned, but its memory foam layers offer a cradle that helps relieve pain in the hip area. However, side sleepers with hip pain may want a softer bed. Lightweight Sleepers– Lightweight stomach sleepers should experience this bed as firmer, which is likely to feel good in the hip area even with a bit of contouring around the pressure points. This Apollo 8 Airflow Mattress is a highly versatile mattress that can be used as both a static and dynamic mattress. Cushioning – True memory foam mattresses like Apollo aren’t meant to be firm and unyielding. Rather, as you lie on the bed, the mattress cradles and contours to your body. This sensation immediately relaxes and releases pent-up pressure across your body. This kind of surface is ideal for anyone who sleeps on their side, especially if you are prone to developing pinching pressure points or numbness in your arms or shoulders.

If you share your bed with a partner and you don’t wish to disturb their sleep each time you shift around in bed (or have them disturb yours), then you couldn’t find a more peaceful mattress than Apollo. That’s no exaggeration. The engineers gave Apollo an 8.6 out of 10 rating for motion isolation. This means that Apollo is the highest rated mattress for motion isolation out of over 60 popular mattress brands tested. Rated higher than Casper. Rated higher than Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme. And rated higher than its closest competitor in design, Simba. The transition layer is also made of memory foam. Although it has a similar feel as the comfort layer, there are gel infusions instead of copper. The open-cell design promotes airflow to prevent the bed from overheating. Lightweight Sleepers– Lightweight side sleepers should experience a nice contour around pressure points, although some may prefer an even softer bed that allows more sinkage in the hips, shoulders, and knees.

Apollo Mattress Cover

Let’s wrap up this section with a look at motion transfer, which refers to the amount of movement detectable from one side of the bed to the other. All sleepers will want to pay attention to this feel factor, though it will probably be most relevant for those who share their bed with a partner. Above its robust base layers, Apollo has one inch of micro-coils that extend entirely across the mattress. Because they aren’t walled off with long sections of rigid foam as they are in most other hybrid mattresses, this central layer allows for the easy passage of air. This creates a central breezeway that regulates temperature and keeps the mattress cool. The compression of the coils acting together with the four inches of premium memory foam above result in more overall compression than a more rigid mattress, resulting in a lower overall edge support rating. However, this is a natural result of the cushioning memory foam effect many sleepers absolutely love, and nothing to be off-put by. If you’re in the market for a memory foam mattress that sleeps cool, the Apollo could be a fantastic fit. Not only does it feature all the great sinkage, body-contouring, and pressure relief of the popular material, but it does so without overheating at night. CLP - Constant Low Pressure providing immersion therapy support surface below capillary closure providing increased comfort

Featuring 20 'figure of 8' cells it is specially designed for users who are at a Very High Risk of developing pressure ulcers it is also suitable for those that have existing tissue damage (pressure ulcer grade 1 to 4). The static mode offers a stable surface to allow for extremely safe patient transfers and handling. Heavyweight Sleepers– Heavy side sleepers may want to consider a firmer bed because memory foam in the Apollo mattress is likely too soft to keep the body aligned. The Apollo II mattress features a CPR dial at the footend, which allows for rapid deflation and is easy to operate in the event of an emergency. It is positioned flush against the mattress to reduce risk of accidental operation or damage and is strategically located to allow ease of access. Fourth layer: 1 inch of high-density support foam. This is the first of two similar base layers that Apollo uses to provide consistent support across the bed. This limits sinkage to the ideal depth – enough to accommodate the needs of side sleepers and curvier body types, but not so much that it puts a strain on muscles or affects proper spinal alignment. Foam density: 1.8 lbs/ft 3.The Apollo II pump automatically detects which compatible dynamic surface has been connected and will adjust the pressure setting accordingly. Comfort – Below the cooling cover, you’ll land on a comfort layer of copper-infused memory foam. This material has a slow response to pressure, allowing the sleeper to sink in for satisfying relief at the shoulders and hips. It’s also infused with cooling copper, which should help to absorb and dissipate body heat as you sink further into the mattress. Copper is also anti-microbial, so works to create an all-around healthier sleep environment. Welded vapour permeable multi stretch PU cover to prevent fluid ingress and internal mattress contamination As with any feel factor, firmness is subjective, and can change a lot depending on one’s body size, shape, and weight. So, my read of this bed’s firmness could differ from your own. For reference, I’m about 5’10”, 190 pounds. and prefer to sleep on my stomach. The Apollo has a slightly softer feel
