There are many different types of Gels on the market. From unique formulations of Memory Foam that incorporate Gel beads or Polymers in them, to Pure Gel layers that offer unique initial heat dissipation and pressure relief, Gel is one of the newest and most exciting technologies used in bedding today.
1. Thermal Regulation in Mattresses
Cooling Gel Layers:Incorporated into mattress toppers or cores to absorb body heat, ideal for hot sleepers.
2. Pressure Relief
Gel Memory Foam Hybrids:Gel-infused foam mattresses or pads contour to the body, reducing pressure on joints (e.g., hips, shoulders).
