How do I pick a contour?Updated a year ago

When looking at our Classic REM5 and Dormeuse REM9 performance mattresses, you have the choice of 2 contour options for your sleep experience.

  • Mid Contour: This is an elevated support. This means the internal support layers have been engineered so that you do not sink into the mattress. You will experience pressure relief and incredible comfort without feeling like you are hammocking or being too enveloped by the foam. A person with a flat back or less pronounced back curvature will prefer this mid-contour support.
  • Fior Contour: This is a deeper support. This means the internal support layers have been engineered to allow a subtle drop into the mattress to eliminate negative space for curved postures. You will experience pressure relief and incredible comfort while the foam embraces your shoulders and lumbar areas. If you have a pronounced spinal curvature you’ll love the feel of a fior contour mattress which means the foam envelopes your natural body shape more, especially at the shoulders and hips. It’s important to note that this isn’t so much a sinking feeling but rather you are sleeping deeper in the foam.

We have also found that different sleeping styles tend to prefer a certain contour. Back and stomach sleepers will gravitate toward a mid-contour feel, while side sleepers do prefer a fior contour which allows for more pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
