The comfort layer is made of two inches of low-density foam which makes it more breathable than the higher density foams found in competing mattresses the one-inch transition layer and the 5.
The 5-inch support layer is both made from high-density polyfoam which helps stabilise the mattress.
The two firmness options of the cocoon shield basically have the same build though the transitional layer of the medium-firm is much sturdier than that of the medium-soft version.

And it helps promote even spinal alignment side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds should experience excellent pressure relief on the medium soft model.
But side sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds may want to opt for the medium firm feel, so they won’t sink as deeply ensuring better alignment.
