OverPad™ • Independent pad technology

Cushioning where needed, support where it matters: load redistribution, alignment and responsive stability in every position.

54 Independent Pad modules (160×190)
3 Movement axes (compression, tilt, flexion)
< 5s Average adaptation time
< 7s Average recovery time

Why pad technology outperforms the traditional mattress for local adaptability and independent response

With independent pads, each part of the body gets tailored support: increased compression under the shoulders and hips, and more support elsewhere. Result: better perceived comfort, more natural alignment.

  • Independent Pad units ⇒ adapt selectively to body shapes (pelvis/shoulders) without “dragging” the nearby area.

  • Higher average compression ⇒ better ability to absorb and distribute load.

  • Significantly greater maximum excursion ⇒ better support for the targeted body areas.
