The bed of the future by Axel Enthoven
Mattress manufacturer Deslee Clama takes sleep very seriously. The Belgian company has introduced what they call “the most modern bed with innovative design”, and dubbed it Sleeping Tomorrow. Designed by Axel Enthoven, latest generation optical fibers and copper wires are woven into the fabric of the mattress to create a “sensitive” material that is never too hot or too cold. The innovative ergonomic open structure also allows the implementation of additional features that improve and personalize the sleep experience, such as sensors and panel controls for mattress positioning, lighting and sound absorption. Its advanced nanotechnology helps the mattress fabric—patented by the firm—reject bacteria, avoid moisture, stains and dirt. ■
