Always great to see our products in action! Last week our Idoshape sensormat was part of the demonstrated technologies at the QUT (Queensland University of Technology)‘s Open Day for future engineers and the general public.

It is widely recognized that the spine shape in lying position should be similar to the spine shape in upright position to have a good body support while sleeping. However, it is not always easy to quantify the spine shape while lying on a mattress. This howto document describes how mattress indention measurements can be used together with information on the body shape as a tool to evaluate the spinal support on one or more sleep systems.
We will be exhibiting in booth 1473 at ISPA EXPO 2016, the largest trade show exclusively for the mattress industry!
We will demonstrate our new products like the R-Leaf and the IdoShape, and we will be available to discuss your needs and to answer your questions….
After Dusseldorf and Leverkusen, Cubiculum has opened a third sleep advice shop in Hilden. Cubiculum is not a classic mattress shop, but an innovative service provider. It stands for a completely new consulting concept around the topic of “healthy sleep”. Their sleep advice is focussed on your individual sleeping habits and needs. As a result, all relevant sleep data are considered and compiled into a personalized advice. The optimal solution for your individual needs is determined using various highly modern measuring methods.
Two of these measuring methods are provided by Custom8: a full body measurement with an Ikelo bodyscanner and a visualization of the fit between the advised sleep system and the body profile with an idoshape sensormat.
Only a few days left and Interzum 2015 will take place, the largest trade fair in the market for furniture production and interiors and the perfect place to see Custom8’s intelligent bedding components.
The R-leaf, a new type of bed base module will be presented that provides an elegant and cost effective solution to actively adjust the stiffness of the mattress support without compromising the comfort level. Unlike the current available systems that are based on a change of the pre-tension of the springs or the height of the slats, this system will adapt the actual stiffness.
Visit us in Cologne from May 5th until May 8th at our booth (Hall 10.1, D-030), to discover our latest innovations.
With years of experience as ergonomical advisor on sleep comfort, Pascal Mannekens is now using the Ikelo bodyscanner and Idoshape sensormat to objectify the personal sleep advice in his shop Bedking Ergopolis.
A good sleep advice is based on an interview and a measurement of the important aspects of the customer’s body. A good sleeping system will conform to your body, without sinking too deep into the mattress. It will also provide a good micro-climate (heat and moisture regulation) during sleep, and will account for any health issues.
The body of the customer profile is first mapped with the aid of a ikelo body scanner. Subsequently, the deflecton of the mattress surface under the body of the customer is measured with the idoshape sensor mat. These measurements allow Pascal Mannekens to provide an objective sleep advice tailored to the customer using the Custom8 retail software.
Equilli is a new player in the Belgian mattress market offering personalized sleep comfort. They have developed a sleep advice system (Personal Sleep Scan) for their modular mattress range. It is based on the indentation measurement from the Idoshape sensormat.
A pressure measurement provides information about the contact pressure between the skin and the mattress surface. It is very useful in the medical field where pressure peaks should be avoided for bedridden patients. It is also used in mattress shops as a measure of the comfort level of the sleep system. However, it provides no information about the deformation of the sleep system and thus about the shape of the spine.The deflection measurement of the personal sleep scan provides the necessary information about how deep the important body parts (shoulders, waist and hips) are sinking into the mattress at different sleep postures (back or side sleeping).
The competition, which is being organised by Koelnmesse in cooperation with red dot already for the seventh time, received a total of 200 entries from 16 countries in 2013. The specific goal of the “interzum award: intelligent material & design” is to put a spotlight on features such as innovative design, intelligent details, aesthetics and functionality.
Custom8 entered the competition with its new sensor mat for deformation (IdoShape), and received the “High Product Quality award”.
All the laureates will be celebrated on 12 May 2013. That is when manufacturers, designers and marketing decision makers will converge at the Koelnmesse site to celebrate the high point of this year’s competition together at the interzum party. The awards ceremony marks the start of interzum cologne 2013.
All prize-winning designs will be presented to the public in a special exhibition as part of the leading global trade fair. In this way, Koelnmesse is highlighting the significance of design as an engine of innovation. The winners of the “Best of the Best” category will be displayed on the fair’s boulevard in a walk-in square. In addition, the awarded products will be presented in the online exhibition at www.interzum-award.com.

Custom8 will showcase its Interzum Award winning IdoShape sensormat. This sensormat, unlike pressure imaging devices, measures deformation. Think about it…. which is more important ? Pressure or Indentation ? Come and see our revolutionary new product.Interzum
