Development Background

The development of the Modern Fit Mattress was carried out under the supervision of Kazumi Suga, a specialist in the field of exercise science and a professional in the field of body mechanics, with a particular emphasis on "ease of turning over" and "comfort. Mr. Suga, a professional in the field of body mechanics, says that a good standing posture is the ideal sleeping posture. In order to realize the commercialization of this mattress, we carefully selected the materials and structure, and created a Modern Fit Mattress that is easy to roll over and comfortable to sleep on, leading to an ideal sleeping posture whether you sleep on your back or your side.

Product Features

Leads to an ideal sleeping posture

According to Kazumi Suga, a bachelor of exercise science, the ideal sleeping posture is one in which the ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles line up in a straight line when standing up. The Modern Fit Mattress combines the good points of both the sinking-in quality of low resilience urethane and the resilience of high resilience urethane to lead you to an ideal sleeping posture.


*Originally developed 2-layer urethane

The 3cm-thick lower layer firmly supports the body, while the 5cm-thick upper layer has a different hardness by "moving blocks" processing, resulting in a structure that makes it easy to sink in and turn over in sleep.


Ideal sleeping posture with the 2Dbalance manufacturing method

The 2Dbalance manufacturing method means that the upper layer blocks of the "head," "waist," and "legs" are processed with "moving blocks" of different sizes to change the firmness and sinkage, resulting in a mattress that is both comfortable to sleep on your back and side, which is a contradiction to conventional mattresses, and easy to turn over. The mattress provides both comfort and ease of turning over in sleep.

Head (6x6cm block, 120N slightly soft), waist (11x11cm block, 170N firm), legs (5x5cm block, 115N soft), lower layer (185N firm)


*Features of proprietary special material "THAWFIT(R)

THAWFIT(R) is a high elastic urethane material of high quality and just the right firmness originally developed.

By mixing bamboo charcoal with urethane, breathability, deodorant and antibacterial properties are enhanced.

High durability

High air permeability (less heat retention compared to normal urethane)

Deodorizing and antibacterial properties


*Cover with special care

The outer fabric that touches the skin is made of a blend of polyester and recycled cellulose fiber. It absorbs water and dries quickly, and feels smooth against the skin. Mesh material is used on the sides and back to improve ventilation. It can be detached from the main body for machine washing.
