Gemini II Cushioning System
- 7.5 oz Twill Fabric – Provides proper strength to hold the tuft in the mattress
- 6" Convoluted 4 lb Density Foam – The foundation and comfort base of the Gemini II
- Dense Polyester Layer – Creates a clean finished appearance
- 10" Superior Quality Foams – Keeps the mattress looking and feeling good over time
- Machine Tufting – Reduces mattress thickness to lock in the look and feel
*It is important to note that for a product to be a true latex product (made from the sap of a rubber tree, a rubber product rather than a foam product), it will be labeled 100% Natural Latex. The Gemini II is not latex, but performs like it — delivering a comparable feel at a fraction of the cost.
Otis Construction Standards
- Special Blend Construction: Atomic™ Soft Foam Cushioning combined with “egg-crate” cut super high-density Neutron™ High Support Foam Cushioning
- Pressurized Construction: Just as compressed air gives smooth comfort in tires, proper pressurization energizes the entire mattress, giving it added strength to maintain itself with use
- Bench Built: Hand-crafted for uniform quality control
- Boxed Edges: True measurable 8" or 6" thickness with tailored appearance
- Overstuffed Core: Approx. 14" of highly resilient multi-density foam and fiber creating an “inside-out” force for proper support, sitting or sleeping
- Tape Edge Closure: Expert tailoring that seals in comfort, ensures proper material placement, and reinforces edges for a clean, tailored look
- Compression Lace Tufting: Our signature button-less tufting process compresses, strengthens, and controls the overstuffed materials for lasting support
Comfort & Durability Philosophy
Our aim is simple — to be as comfortable as we are durable. Comfortable enough to rival traditional upholstered sofas, with flexibility and conformability that avoids painful pressure points for occasional or nightly sleepers. Durable enough to keep its shape and resist change in firmness on the edge and other critical sitting/sleeping areas better than any cotton-based futon mattress.
Understanding Thickness
Thickness can be a relative term in the mattress industry. The only true way to measure it is with a boxed, tape-edged corner — part of our signature manufacturing process. More important than quoted thickness is the quality of the interior ingredients. We only use highly resilient high-density foam (1.8 lb per cubic foot or better); lower densities shorten a futon’s lifespan.
Cover & Thickness Guidelines
Standard futon covers are designed for 6" mattresses. Our true 8" mattresses require a true 8" box-corner cover — squeezing them into a smaller cover will alter the feel and make folding harder.
The mattress is the most used component of any futon. Invest in quality materials that maintain comfort and structural integrity over time.
