Accelerated Recovery, only on the REM9
The Accelerated Recovery foam formula is engineered for elasticity and rebound, with a more rubberized structure than our standard foam. Positioned beneath the Beyond Latex Active surface layer, it works in contrast to it. While Beyond Latex molds and contours to your body, Accelerated Recovery reacts and adapts more quickly beneath it, rebounding as you move rather than holding a fixed shape. This accelerated adaptability is what keeps you from sinking into or getting locked into one position, supporting fewer interruptions and longer stretches in REM and Deep Sleep that define the REM9.
This responsiveness is also a product of density. Essentia foams are built at 5 to 6.25 lb density, notably higher than the 1.5 to 4 lb density used industry-wide. Higher-density foam holds its structure and support over time rather than breaking down, which is also why Essentia mattresses are heavier than most, a direct result of using more high-density material, not less.
The result is fewer sleep interruptions and longer, more consistent stretches in REM and Deep Sleep, the stages where physical recovery and cognitive restoration actually happen.
