Natural latexFor the complex production of Swissflex® natural latex cores, we use exclusively natural raw latex from sustainable raw materials, without adding synthetically produced latex. Natural latex can be recycled and has an antiseptic effect, which protects it from bacteria and house dust mites. In addition, it has unrivalled high point elasticity, it regulates the temperature thanks to its open-pored surface, it is very durable and is CFC-free. For you this means exceptional lying comfort: even with the slightest pressure, natural latex gives where it is pressed down, without being too soft. In addition, movement creates a permanent, hygienic air exchange. |
Pure latexThe basis for this core is a mixture of natural and synthetic latex, that is foamed up using air and vulcanised into shape at high temperatures (free of CFC). The characteristics of pure latex are very similar to those of natural latex – high point elasticity, warmth/cooling and long lifespan ensure a durable perfect fit to the body and a pleasant sleep environment. However, the material has a clear price advantage compared to natural latex. |
Mini-PocketspringThe premium mini pocket springs used in Swissflex® mattresses consists of spiral-shaped springs of differing strengths, stitched into permeable fabric pockets. They are always combined with a cushioned layer, for example Latex or Gomtex®. Mini pocket springs are exceptionally robust, have high point elasticity, are dynamic and recover quickly, as they recover their original shape quickly after pressure and thus match your body in an optimal way. This creates a comfortable sleeping environment where heat and moisture that gather in the areas between the springs can easily escape. |

Gomtex®The special characteristic of a Gomtex® core made of high quality polyurethane foam is its airy and open-pored cell structure (comparable to a natural sponge) which creates an environmentally friendly and CFC-free foam. This versatile material is exclusively available from Swissflex. The benefits of Gomtex®: light weight so easy to handle, very good hygiene thanks to resistance to microbes, bacteria and mould, high bounce and elasticity for fine-tuned adaptation to individual body shapes as well as increased durability (compared to usual cold foam) thanks to particularly high foam stability, which is unique to mattress manufacture in Europe. |
Gomtex® blueThis new type of foam is very air-permeable so that it transports moisture and heat away. As a lying experience, it combines the material features of latex and Visco, has excellent pressure relief characteristics and provides a high level of support. Gomtex® blue has both a cooling and a cuddly effect. The resulting perfect adaptation to every type of sleep makes this material the first choice for people with the highest demands on an optimum sleep system. |
ViscoVisco-elastic foam was originally developed for space travel. It is thermo-active, which means that it responds quickly to pressure and body heat, becomes elastic and so it can adapt fully to head and body shapes. Once the pressure is lifted, the foam gradually returns to its original shape. This reaction the objective of pressure relief: the various parts of the body can apply different levels of pressure but they are supported at the same time – for an ergonomically correct body position and to prevent tension and pressure sores. |
