Problems solved by technology

A common problem associated with mattresses is that they are not customized to support the bodies of their users.
Although these mattresses are customized to meet user preferences with respect to hardness or firmness for each of the users, these mattresses are not customized to meet user preferences with respect to the different areas of the body for each of the respective users.
A common problem with these materials, however, is that they prevent air circulation between the mattress layers.
This in turn leads to body heat retention and an uncomfortable sleep for the user.
