What is a copper infused mattress?

A copper infused mattress uses copper to enhance thermal resistivity.  In layman’s terms, the copper repels the build up of heat.  This provides a sleep environment that is cooler and usually drier than simple memory foam mattresses do.  It is an alternative to a mattress that uses cooling gel in the foam.  Though some copper infused mattresses include both copper and cool gel.  How the copper is integrated can impact the overall effectiveness of the copper infused mattress.  Many mattresses of this type use it in the uppermost layer, the parts that are nearest to the skin.

 

Benefits of a Copper Infused Mattress

There has been a great deal of research to support copper infused mattresses and sleep products.  Multiple studies connect the use of copper surfaces in mitigating the growth and abundance of harmful pathogens.  Sleeping on a mattress that has incorporated copper into its support system can help prevent overheating thus reduces night sweats.  Using copper in conjunction with cooling gel memory foam complements this result.  Additionally, a copper infused mattress can have a positive effect on the skin.  These are some of the most prevalent benefits of using a copper infused mattress.

 

Antimicrobial: Inhibits the growth of microorganisms on beds due to natural antimicrobial properties.

Reduces Bacteria: Studies find that copper beds kill bacteria.

Targets Sleep Issues: Copper infused mattresses focus on support and comfort.

Improves Skin: Sleeping on copper infused products may improve the appearance of skin and minimize wrinkles.

Disperses Heat: Copper regulates temperature naturally for sleep that is not too hot and not too cool.

Inhibits Virus Mutation: Dry copper surfaces are known to prevent virus mutation on the sleep surface.

 

Best Copper Infused Mattresses

The best copper infused mattresses made by Mantua include the Rize rz3 and the Rize rZ2.  These differ in their build and mattress depth.  Both use a multi-layered system that includes a CopperBreeze Temperature Optimized Sleep Cover.  The thicker, rZ3, is a 12-inch memory foam mattress that has four inner layers.  The Rize rZ2 is 10.5” thick with three layers inside.  The sizes available for Rize’s best copper infused mattress models include Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King.  They are made from crafted foam, cool touch fabric and copper threads to accommodate cooler, more comfortable sleep.

Rize 12” rz3 Mattress

This copper infused mattress is wrapped in a cover that has copper threaded throughout.  Special cooling fabric adds to the pleasant feel of the mattress surface.  Inside is a 1.5” quilted topper made up of an inch of cool gel memory foam and a half inch of soft-comfort memory foam.  This is followed by two inches of cool gel ventilated memory foam for elevated breathability.  A three-inch transition foam is next atop a 5.5” ultimate base support layer.  This copper infused mattress merges the benefits of sleeping on copper and the comfort of cool gel memory foam.

Rize 10.5” rZ2 Mattress

Another option is the Rize rZ2 copper infused mattress.  It also utilizes CopperBreeze technology to prevent buildup of body heat as you sleep.  Woven threads in the cool touch cover draw heat away resulting in a cool sleep surface.  This choice leaves out the quilted topper found in the rZ3, to cut down the mattress height 1.5 inches.  Two inches of memory foam with cooling gel infusion keeps the mattress from getting too warm. On this model, the transition layer is thicker at 4” and the base is shorter at 4.5”.

 

Buying Accessories: Copper Infused Pillow

Copper infused mattresses are not the only way copper can make it into the bed.  Some scientific studies have found a connection between sleeping on consumer products infused with copper-oxide and the well-being of skin.  Pillows with copper are also in our Rize selection.  The reversible CopperBreeze pillow has two distinct sides, each using unique technology for cooling.  On one side, a cool touch fabric cover promotes breathability.  The cover on the opposite side offers advanced airflow.  While real copper is the superstar in this pillow, it is supported by 350 airflow channels and ventilated cool-gel memory foam.

 

Are there other copper infused accessories?

Bed linens and accessories that feature copper can be made different ways and with different materials.  They can be made up of polyester, microfiber, cotton, or a combination.  They tend to have the copper interwoven throughout the primary fabric.

 

Copper Infused Bed Sheets: Bedsheets with copper are often used in warmer climates to counter the hot weather.

Copper Infused Bedding: Other copper bedding includes comforters and copper pillowcases.

Copper Infused Bed Topper:  With copper intertwined, bed toppers can be a great addition to a mattress.

 

Conclusion

There are several advantages to sleeping on a copper infused mattress.  Copper has been known for many years for its antimicrobial qualities.  The benefits of copper are so convincing that some healthcare facilities use it to kill bacteria on frequently touch surfaces.  In the bedroom, the way it absorbs heat and then scatters it away makes copper infused mattresses especially good for those who sleep hot.  The Rize rZ2 and rZ3 mattresses help make sleeping on copper comfortable and easy.  Rize copper infused mattresses are manufactured by Mantua, trusted in the sleep industry for over 60 years.
