Three advantages that change the whole lifecycle.

NEST replaces the limitations of foam with a washable, breathable and recyclable 3D structure engineered for modern care environments.

01

Pressure relief

A resilient 3D spring structure disperses load in every direction, supporting both surface and deep-tissue pressure management.

02

Infection control

The open, breathable core inhibits bacterial growth and can be thoroughly washed, thermally disinfected and rapidly dried.

03

Circular by design

Unlike traditional foam, the NEST core is reusable and 100% recyclable—reducing replacement, disposal and environmental cost.

Inside the NEST

Designed to breathe. Built to rebound.

The polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer forms thousands of interconnected loops. The result is a responsive structure that distributes pressure, promotes airflow and springs back after repeated use.

Improved circulationLocalised low-compression areas allow greater blood perfusion.

A stable microclimateLow heat and humidity help protect skin integrity.

Lasting recoveryLess sagging than foam after 80,000 test repetitions.
