Office of Naval Research · Mattresses for Improved Sleep Quality
Materials for shipboard sleep and recovery.
MacroVation is researching mattress and comfort-material technologies for shipboard use. The development objective is to improve comfort and support sleep while addressing the constraints of naval service.
Comfort within a demanding operating environment
A shipboard mattress must balance comfort with durability, space, and applicable safety requirements. Our work explores material and structural approaches alongside prototype evaluation and potential manufacturing pathways.
What the development work covers
- Comfort-material and mattress concepts
- Material and prototype characterization
- Evaluation against relevant service requirements
- Manufacturing and transition planning
Development and screening do not establish a qualified mattress or a demonstrated improvement in operational readiness.
