HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 13 May 2022 – EMMAS has always been committed to providing healthy and high-quality mattresses to elevate people’s sleep experience. This year, EMMAS is proud to introduce two newly upgraded pocket coil mattresses, Tencel Careback Deluxe Plus and Restone, combining the benefits of natural latex and gel-infused memory foam to regulate body temperature, in addition to thickened edge design with extended sleeping area and bring about unparalleled comfort.
Functional Fabrics
Tencel Careback Deluxe Plus carries on the premium TENCEL® fabric from the series, with ultra-smooth touch, high breathability and anti-bacterial properties to pamper your skin. On the other hand, Restone features EMMAS Intense fabric with anti-static function. Its physical properties uses carbon fibre to capture electrons around your body and releases them into the air at low voltage, effectively reducing the amount of static electricity in the human body, thereby creating an in-depth and comfortable sleeping experience.
Natural Latex with Gel-Infused Memory Foam
Combining the benefits of natural latex and gel-infused memory foam, the two new mattresses provide excellent resilience and create a soft and supportive layer for a truly relaxing body while asleep. Gel-infused memory foam better regulates body temperature and avoids being too hot or cold, even in the hot summer, it can keep you refreshing at all times.
Pocket Coil 3-Zone Brings Meticulous Body Support
Both mattresses adopt Pocket Coil 3-Zone design, which divides the entire mattress into three major areas, utilizes different coil thickness to finely support the weight of the head, body, and legs while closely conforms to human contours and sleeping postures. Pocket coils can also effectively reduce the vibration generated during turning, so that users can enjoy a good night’s sleep without interference.
What’s more, Restone is specially designed with a Triple-Coil System – the upper layer of Double Micro Comfort Coil conforms the body contour perfectly while the lower Pocket Coil offers individualised comfort, deeply supporting the body weight from top down, enriching the rebound level and creating a more delicate and perfect-fit feeling of sleep.
AiRY 3D Technology & Thickened Edge Design
The new mattresses feature AiRY3D mesh design which provides multi-angle air circulation to drain away moisture, keeping you dry and fresh at all times. Conforma™ Edge Support Plus technology further thickens the mattress frame and strengthens edge support. Even if you always get out of bed at the same side, the mattress will not easily slump and hence increase durability.
Grand Opening of the Festival Walk Store
Tencel Careback Deluxe Plus and Restone mattresses are now available in dedicated EMMAS stores*, while the new Festival Walk store has been grandly opened, bringing customers a wide range of Australian hypoallergenic and spinal-care mattresses, as well as high-quality bedding sourced from all over the world.
