Gemini II Cushioning System
All Otis mattresses are made from 100% woven polyester fabric.
- 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 thickness with tailored appearance
- Slightly Shorter: Otis mattresses are 1 to 2 inches shorter due to the boxed design
- 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: Reinforced edge construction for durability and shape retention
- Compression Lace Tufting: Button-less tufting system that compresses and stabilizes internal materials for lasting performance
Comfort & Durability Philosophy
Otis mattresses are engineered to be as comfortable as they are durable. The Gemini II is comfortable enough to rival traditional upholstered sofas, with flexibility and conformability that avoids painful pressure points for occasional or nightly sleepers. It's durable enough to keep its shape and resist change in firmness on the edge and other critical sitting and sleeping areas better than any cotton-based futon mattress.
Unlike cotton-based futons, Otis uses highly resilient high-density foam (1.8 lb per cubic foot or better). Lower density foams (1.2–1.4 lb) found in other products reduce lifespan and performance.
Do not judge a mattress by thickness alone. Interior material quality determines longevity, comfort, and long-term shape retention.
Important Notes on Thickness & Quality
Thickness can be misleading in the mattress industry. Many mattresses are rounded or overestimated for marketing purposes. Otis mattresses use true boxed edges, making thickness measurable and consistent — this is part of our signature manufacturing process.
More important than thickness is the quality of materials inside. High-density foam and resilient construction allow the Gemini II to maintain its shape and comfort for 10–15+ years.
Grip Strips Recommendation
Grip Strips are strongly recommended for the Gemini II to keep the mattress properly positioned and functioning as intended.
Cover & Thickness Guidelines
Standard futon covers are designed for 6" mattresses. The Gemini II's true 8" mattress requires a true 8" box-corner cover. Using an undersized cover will alter comfort and make folding more difficult.
The mattress is the most used component of any futon. Invest in quality materials that maintain comfort and structural integrity over time.
