As an avid follower of the Olympic Games and a firm believer in innovative technology, I was both intrigued and amused by the infamous “anti-sex” beds that made their debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But little did I know that these flimsy-looking beds were anything but a mere gimmick.
Simone Biles isn’t the only Olympic icon making a comeback at the 2024 Paris Summer Games.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: During my time at the Olympic Games, I’ll be joining thousands of athletes in slumber on an Airweave bed. This unique bed gained massive popularity during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to its delicate look and the rumor that it’s not conducive to romantic endeavors – making it quite the intriguing topic!
According to the COO of Japanese firm, Brett Thornton, the unfavorable tag is considered a fortunate occurrence.
He shared with TopMob News, on an exclusive basis, that the amusing thing is, there was no truth to that rumor. At the time, COVID-19 guidelines prevented athletes from socializing in the Olympic Village. People spread stories that the teams didn’t want athletes sharing beds, leading to the creation of thin cardboard beds as a deterrent.
According to Thornton, these beds, comprised of a cardboard frame and an AirFiber mattress, are truly revolutionary.
What’s the experience like on this mattress, versus a typical innerspring or memory foam bed? I gave it a try and was taken aback by the discovery.
To begin with, I must confess that the appearance of the beds is rather unimpressive. In fact, Thornton shared my sentiment when I inspected one up close, commenting, “From an angle, the cardboard material makes them seem quite fragile.”
Appearances can be misleading. As I reclined on the bed, its sturdy structure remained unyielding with no signs of instability or creaks typical of old and worn-out furniture.
The mattress, consisting of a removable padded cover and three separate cushions with varying levels of firmness (ranging from medium to extra firm), had a solid springiness.
Although I was grateful for the ability to adjust the cushioning in the mattress by flipping it to change the firmness levels for my shoulders, waist, and legs, I discovered that even the softest setting was still more firm than my previous memory foam bed.
Though Thornton pointed out, an Airweave mattress doesn’t intend to be overly soft for you to lose yourself in. Instead, it is designed as a high-end firm bed that focuses on aligning your spine based on your body type and ensures a more extended, rejuvenating sleep experience.
He pointed out that when you need to change positions during the night while using memory foam, it requires significant energy. This disturbance wakes you up from a deep REM sleep cycle, and it may take an additional five minutes for your body to fall back into a deep sleep.
Additionally, the mattress’s large air spaces between the plastic fibers, along with the two big air pockets in its cardboard base, contribute to a cooling effect during sleep, according to Thornton.
He pointed out that for you to fall asleep, your body core temperature needs to decrease by approximately two degrees. AirFiber helps achieve this faster. Consequently, athletes can sleep deeper and longer, resulting in increased energy levels the following day. Since AirFiber has temperature regulating properties, it ensures a more prolonged slumber.
When the Olympic Village is ready to be dismantled permanently, Thornton noted that the AirFiber cores in the mattresses can be recycled at a local processing facility by merely spraying them with water.
He shared with me that this was the first instance of something truly novel and distinctive in the industry.
Regarding my opinion on the matter? Contrary to popular belief, the infamous nickname doesn’t deter anyone from engaging in intimate activities on this bed. Ultimately, your decision depends on whether you prefer a softer or more firm sleeping arrangement at the end of the day.
