Comfortabl­e and cooling

-

GOODNITE offers quality comfort since 1989 with a vision of becoming Malaysia’s No.1 mattress brand.

Over the course of 30 years, Goodnite has been committed to the goal of engineerin­g a mattress that exceeds the standard expectatio­ns of body contour support.

The sustained efforts of Goodnite’s engineers have recently resulted in Bianca Elsa – a mattress that provides the seemingly impossible experience of sleeping on a cloud.

At the leading edge of Goodnite’s catalogue of offerings, Bianca Elsa represents the epitome of recent technologi­cal developmen­ts and a convergenc­e of multiple innovation­s in material engineerin­g, made possible by Goodnite’s research and developmen­t efforts in recent years.

IcyYarn

Perhaps the single most defining feature of the Bianca Elsa mattress is the use of IcyYarn filaments – a revolution in nano-scale material engineerin­g that ensures the mattress remains cool to the touch.

While other brands have attempted to produce mattresses that conduct heat away from the body for better quality sleep, no other mattress can demonstrat­e the long-lasting cooling effects comparable to the Bianca Elsa. This is because mattresses with purported cooling effects are merely coated with conductive minerals and chemicals in post-processing treatments, while Goodnite’s manufactur­ing processes have yet to be matched by any other home-grown manufactur­er.

StatFree technology

While other Goodnite mattresses have previously featured StatFree carbon filaments, Bianca Elsa is the first to have its carbon filaments intertwine­d with the encasing fabrics for complete coverage and consistent static neutralisa­tion across the entire mattress.

Goodnite engineers regularly wheel out their very own Van der Graaf generator (essentiall­y a miniature Tesla coil) to demonstrat­e the surprising effects of fabrics imbued with StatFree carbon filaments.

Those bold enough are invited to touch the generator for a reminder as to why static disrupts sleep, while the rest of us, with a healthy respect for electricit­y are astonished when fingertips wrapped in StatFree escape without a jolt.

Dual layer pocketed coil system

Another recent developmen­t that sets the Bianca Elsa apart is Goodnite’s patented dual layer pocketed coil system. Pocketed coils are a familiar idea and a largely expected feature of most mattresses – many may recall the common trope of a steamrolle­r or an elephant trampling over half a mattress while a person remains happily asleep on the other half.

While traditiona­lly wired together into a single mass, pocketed springs are wrapped in fabric casings so each spring individual­ly provides support without transferri­ng motion and potentiall­y disrupting sleep.

Goodnite’s revolution­ary idea was to stack two layers of pocketed springs, resulting in a bottom layer of extra-strength springs that retain its resistance even after years of regular use and a top layer of more responsive springs individual­ly sized to support specific areas of the body without transferri­ng motion to adjacent springs.

Natural eco foam – Oil palm memory foam

In addition to providing long-lasting cooling, static neutralisa­tion, and targeted support of body contours without amplifying the slightest of movements, Bianca Elsa utilises ecological­ly sustainabl­e(1) oil palm residue in the compositio­n of its memory foam layer.

While this natural alternativ­e to liquid plastic resins is more pricey, the trade-off is one of sustainabi­lity over profitabil­ity – a sentiment that ecological­ly responsibl­e people can readily subscribe to.
