Decision Time - Brooklyn Bedding/Novos Bed/Restava

[MFC]

Hi Big guy!

Looking to discern whether the “convoluted foam base” in the Novos Bed - “Novosflow” is really a marketing tool.

We believe that convoluted foam is a method used by manufacturers looking to cut costs. Think about it, by convoluting foam you double your foam production, by removing half the foam of the original piece while keeping the same thickness. This process allows you to make 2 mattresses for the price of 1. For this reason convoluted foam looks very attractive to manufacturers looking to cut costs.

Here is a video that explains this more in detail

Next, how is the air circulating inside the mattress, supposed to cool you on top of the mattress?
Since the foam crates created by the convoluting process collapse when you lay on the mattress, how does the air move through it?
How does it reach you on top, and cool you down?
Unless there is a pathway for the air to go through the memory foam layers into the convoluted channels below, we have doubt on the efficiency of this system.

From post 6

Other manufacturers are using various combinations of holes punched in their memory foam or different types of airflow channels in the memory foam or the polyfoam underneath it to encourage airflow. These are often less effective than more open celled foam … although this can depend on whether these airflow channels actually stay “open” and allow airflow from the body surface to the outside environment during actual use.

Hope this helps you understand convoluted foam a bit more…

Good luck in your final decision!
