With inspiration drawn from sleep medicine research, the design team at Beijing Hengxiang Future has created a mattress that not only enhances comfort but also promotes healthy sleep habits. The Dormil Ala, with its decompression grid structure, ensures high-efficiency air circulation, preventing stuffiness and bacterial growth, thereby ensuring a healthy sleep environment.
What sets the Dormil Ala apart is its innovative design and material choice. Made from baby pacifier-grade TPE material, the mattress boasts excellent resilience, support, and comfort. The quick resilience feature, which kicks in within 0.16 seconds after pressure removal, adapts to various sleeping positions, aiding in muscle relaxation and fatigue relief.
The design realization of Dormil Ala involves a three-layer structure: the stress-free layer, the comfort layer, and the support layer. The surface is covered by a high-elasticity fabric made from bamboo pulp fiber. The core stress-free layer's unique decompression grid structure evenly distributes the pressure generated by the user's weight, while the 80 percent porosity greatly promotes heat dissipation and ensures constant air circulation.
The Dormil Ala's interaction design ensures optimal support with minimal material. The pressure generated by the user's weight bends the thin walls of the grids, evenly distributing it within the mattress. This design supports the body in various sleeping positions, providing a floating sleep sensation and minimizing noise when the user rolls over.
Designed and developed in 2016 in Shandong, China, and launched in 2018, the Dormil Ala is a response to the global data indicating that about 25 percent of the population suffer or have suffered from sleeping problems. The design team developed this Super-comfort Mesh-structure Mattress under the concept of stress-free sleep for a care-free life, aiming to offer users a targeted solution to improve their sleep.
The Dormil Ala has overcome several design challenges to offer an immersive sleeping experience. The core decompression grid structure, made of baby pacifier-grade TPE material, ensures good resilience and comfort. The mattress returns to its original shape within 0.16 seconds after pressure removal, ensuring timely resilience and perfect fit to new sleeping positions.
The launch of the Dormil Ala has pioneered a new mattress category in home textiles. Its unique decompression grid structure provides excellent comfort, load-bearing capability, and breathability, offering users a unique sleep experience while reducing costs and consumables. Its easy-to-clean property also adds convenience to daily maintenance. The design's excellence was recognized with a Silver A' Bedding Design Award in 2023.
