«Supernova» – a phenomenon that is both ergonomic and galactic

If you’re looking for the properties of its namesake, you’ll find them deep in the core of the popular mattress: with its two-level spring technology in the lumbar region, the Supernova offers a special lying sensation and balanced support. This back support system combined with the velvety-soft «Bodypore» high-tech surface supports the back in an ergonomic way. This creates a feeling of complete relaxation when sleeping on the Supernova – as well as an optimal bed climate.

The main feature responsible for the Supernova’s particularly finely balanced back support is the unique, specially developed Back Relaxation System (BRS) – the centrepiece that has made the mattress model so popular for many years. «The BRS is good at supporting the back whilst yielding to the silhouette to suit individual needs and adjusting the level of support exactly where the body needs it. This interplay of ‘dynamics’ and ‘individual balancing’ by the double spring system on the one hand and the Bodypore surface on the other results in particularly finely balanced support, providing the perfect place for rest and relaxation,» says Reta Schnellmann, Co-Managing Director of riposa.

But why is support in the lumbar region so important? This area of the back contains the largest vertebrae – which therefore also bear a large part of the body’s weight. It relieves the lumbar region to assume its natural, slightly curved posture during regeneration without any action on its part. To do so, the back needs active support and assistance in this area: this allows the spinal muscles to relax and the intervertebral discs to expand again after a strenuous day

riposa is giving the Supernova a new mattress cover for the new year. The popular back support mattress now comes in the fashionable «Houndstooth» patterned cover material. In the «Supernova Luxe» fabrication level, the exclusive mattress cover incorporates sophisticated linen piping and fine manufacturing details that give the Supernova an even more sophisticated look as well as dimensional stability. The Supernova topper filled with soft and fluffy new goose down («Supernova Superluxe») provides an extra feeling of well-being and gives the impression that the body is melting into the mattress surface.

The dynamic, elegant Supernova mattress model is developed and manufactured in Bilten in the Glarus region of Switzerland: this is where the headquarters and mattress production site of the Swiss family-owned company riposa are located. «From the development of the mattress composition to the production of the Supernova in combination with craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology – it all happens here in Glarus», says Iva Schnellmann, Co-Managing Director of riposa. «Having a production site in the region makes many things easier and more personal – and has environmental benefits».
