Cotton<br />
Cotton is a vegetal fi bre which surrounds<br />
the cotton grains. It is the most<br />
important natural fi bre produced in the<br />
world and most certainly the best<br />
adapted to the human skin.<br />
It is therefore natural that this fi bre is<br />
used in the creation of an ELITE mattress.<br />
The 100% natural cotton which we use<br />
offers excellent ventilation properties; your mattress “breathes” and thus feels<br />
fresh.<br />
Besides this, cotton’s hygroscopic properties allows it to absorb perspiration easily<br />
– of cardinal importance for a mattress padding.<br />
Experience has also taught us that used in thick layers its elastic characteristics<br />
allow for a feeling of comfort and softness. The mattress becomes not simply<br />
“bedding” but a comfortable nest.<br />

SeaCell ® fi bre offers a number of algae-linked properties. It favours skin care by liberating<br />
vitamin E and mineral salts, calcium and magnesium and possesses anti-irritation<br />
and scar-healing characteristics. Lyocell also possesses “breathing” qualities and is soft<br />
to the touch.<br />
SeaCell ® Active is a Lyocell fi bre which is combined with algae fi bres and silver. The amino<br />
acids and mineral salts present in the algae are liberated by the body’s light humidity thus<br />
having a equilibrating effect on the body. The mineral salts in the SeaCell® algae aid<br />
in the mineralisation of the skin while silver has anti-bacterial properties.<br />
Permanently bacteriostatic, SeaCell ® fi bre allows for a refreshing night’s sleep.<br />
Ingeo is a 100% environmentally friendly natural material which derives<br />
from the process of the transformation of maize. It occasions decreased CO2 production, is bio-degradable and has renewable constituents.<br />
Ingeo marries a natural material with the advantages of the synthetic.<br />
As it is hypoallergenic, it offers considerable resistance to impacts and has good<br />
stability. It also absorbs body humidity and regulates its temperature.<br />
It also possesses natural anti-acaroids properties.<br />
Coconut<br />
For centuries the coconut has been one of the world’s main cultures. It is a palm tree<br />
with a crowning sheaf of leaves and produces the coconut which within its very<br />
tough shell contains coconut milk.<br />
This tropical tree also gives us the coconut fi bres surrounding the hard shell.<br />
In India and Sri Lanka the coconut is harvested not only for the milk inside but also<br />
for the outer fi bres. These are soaked, beaten, combed, carded, spun and sun-dried<br />
thus resulting in the mattress fi bre which has been used for over a century<br />
as mattress padding.<br />
Used as the primary layer of padding,<br />
coconut fi bre covers the core<br />
of the mattress. Its great resistance<br />
guarantees stability and acts as a perfect<br />
base for the various other layers. Woven<br />
to provide for excellent long-term<br />
homogeneity it has good air permeability<br />
qualities and gives the fi nished product<br />
very good elasticity.<br />
It is worth noting that coconut fi bre<br />
is a 100% natural and renewable organic<br />
material.
