The Affinity layer with HIVE technology acts as a transition layer in the AS2 mattress. Not only does the material limit sinkage so a person doesn’t bottom out on the support layer, it also offers five zones of targeted support. Hexagonal cutouts across the second layer’s surface comprise the bed’s HIVE technology. Under the shoulders and hips, these cutouts flex and create a conforming cushion. Under the head, torso, and feet, these cutouts remain firm and provide uncompromising support. HIVE is found not only in the memory foam version of the AS2 but also in our AS3, AS4, and AS5 memory foam mattresses.
