Restorative Performance Mattresses

Propel by Brooklyn Bedding Turns Body Heat to Far Infrared Rays

— July 9, 2019 — Art & Design
With Propel by Brooklyn Bedding, the American mattress manufacturer is introducing an innovation powered by smart textiles to support better sleep. In the same way that people rely on performance-enhancing textiles for a range of physical activities, they can now turn to this intelligently engineered mattress design powered by European performance fabric with advanced Upcycle technology.

The all-new hybrid mattress features Upcycle, a proprietary surface treatment that transforms body heat into far infrared rays that are emitted back to the body for the purposes of stimulating blood flow. This is important for enhancing the restorative qualities of rest. As John Merwin, owner and CEO of Brooklyn Bedding describes, "While your brain and nervous system may be less receptive to external stimuli as you rest, your body is still performing many critical, regenerating functions."

1. Smart Textiles for Better Sleep - The use of smart textiles in mattress design to enhance sleep quality by regulating body temperature and blood flow.
2. Upcycle Technology in Mattresses - The integration of Upcycle technology in mattresses to convert body heat into far infrared rays, stimulating blood flow and promoting restorative qualities of sleep.
3. Performance-enhancing Mattress Design - The development of intelligently engineered mattress designs powered by advanced European performance fabric to optimize sleep performance.
