Precision comfort. Personalised support. Proven in minutes.

The Somnatiq Lab measures how your body responds to comfort and support, fitting you to a mattress matching your unique Sleep Score.

Somnatiq Lab ®

Advanced pressure mapping technology is used to analyse how your body distributes weight while lying down. By assessing pressure points, alignment and sleep position, the Lab builds a precise picture of your comfort and support needs. This data is used to recommend a Somnatiq mattress engineered to match your unique Sleep Score- promoting healthy spinal alignment, relieving pressure, and helping you achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.

Your unique sleeping patterns are used to recommend a Somnatiq mattress that understands how to remove pressure and offer support and comfort while you sleep.

Pressure mapping technology trusted by:



1

Discover your Sleep Score

The Lab maps your body's pressure points and alignment, measuring how evenly your weight is distributed, where support is lacking, and where cushioning is needed most. This data is converted into your personal Sleep Score, a clear reflection of your unique comfort and support requirements.

2

Find your perfect fit.

Your Sleep Score tells us precisely what mattress fits your body to achieve optimal alignment and pressure relief. Whether you require deeper support through the hips or more cushioning at the shoulders, the Lab identifies the ideal balance for your body.

3

Get your mattress match.

Your Sleep Score is directly linked to a mattress engineered to meet your exact profile. The Lab recommends three perfectly suited options, each designed to deliver the level of comfort and support your body scored for.

What is comfort?


This is when all your pressure points are relieved. The less pressure, the greater the comfort, the deeper the sleep, and the more refreshed you feel when waking.

What is support?


Correct support is when your spine is perfectly aligned with your head, allowing your muscles to fully relax, ensuring a peaceful, pain-free night's sleep.



The pressure map illustrates how your body interacts with the mattress surface. Warmer areas indicate higher pressure, while cooler areas show where weight is evenly supported. The goal is to achieve a balanced distribution where your spine remains properly aligned while pressure points at the shoulders, hips, and lower back are gently relieved

Why the right support matters.

  • Maintains the spine in a neutral position, reducing strain on muscles, joints, and discs while you sleep.
  • Reduces back, neck, and shoulder pain by evenly distributing body weight, helping prevent chronic discomfort.
  • Improves sleep quality and recovery allowing muscles to fully relax, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
  • Prevents long-term posture issues, nerve compression, and ongoing musculoskeletal problems.

Why the right comfort matters.

  • Allows the body to fully relax, reducing pressure on sensitive areas like the shoulders and hips so you can fall asleep more easily.
  • Improves circulation by preventing pressure build-up, helping blood flow freely through the night.
  • Minimises tossing and turning by cushioning the body evenly, allowing you to stay in deeper sleep for longer.
  • Enhances overall sleep quality by creating a calm, weightless feel that encourages longer, more restorative rest.

Does my sleeping partner need to be with me?

Can children receive a Somnatiq Lab® analysis?

Yes, they can. It is important that children sleep on the correct mattress to properly support and comfort their growing bodies. Keep in mind that children grow rapidly therefore their results may change at more swiftly.

Can the Somnatiq Lab® recommend a pillow?

Yes, it can. Based on your sleeping position, the Somnatiq Lab® recommends a pillow that will fit your Somnatiq mattress the best.

What is my Somnatiq number and what does it do?

Based on your pressure points, the Somnatiq Lab® recommends you your Somnatiq number - a number unique to your comfort and support needs. Your recommended mattresses will be those labelled with your Somnatiq number. The comfort layers and support systems found inside these mattresses have been purposely selected to properly support and comfort you.

What is comfort and why is it important?

Comfort is achieved by the reduction of pressure on the body. Pressure destroys comfort. The more pressure exerted on the body by the mattress, the less the comfort. When the correct comfort is achieved, your pressure points will be relieved allowing you to sleep deeply.

What is support and why is it important?

Correct support of the body is when your spine is perfectly aligned with your head, enabling your muscles to relax. Inadequate support affects the alignment, causing your muscles to go into spasm.

How do I know my comfort and support needs?

The Somnatiq Lab® will reveal a results screen with your pressure map which indicates your unique pressure points as well as areas where you require support.

What if my sleeping partner has a different result to mine?

No two people will have the exact same result as we are all built differently and sleep differently. In a case such as this, the result will accommodate the support needs of the partner needing extra support and the comfort needs to the partner that requires extra pressure relief.

Why has my results changed?

Your Somnatiq number may change if your body composition and or sleeping position has changed.

Is there an additional warranty provided after being analyzed by Somnatiq Lab®?

No, however each Somnatiq® mattress comes with a standard guarantee and warranty. Please view the product page for specific guarantee and warranty periods.

What if I don't like the recommended Somnatiq mattresses?

The Somnatiq Lab® is the only tool in South Africa that can accurately determine your comfort and support needs, thereby recommending you a Somnatiq mattress that is right for your needs. Keep in mind that it takes two weeks for your body to get used to sleeping on a new mattress with new technology.
