[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] Simmons, a sleep specialty brand, has received a special award at the '2021 Ergonomic Design Award (EDA)' for its Beautyrest mattress 'Zalmon.'

Now in its 21st year, the Ergonomic Design Award (EDA) is given to domestic and international products with excellent ergonomic design. Organized by the Korean Society of Ergonomics, the award selects winning products through rigorous evaluation from the consumer's perspective on various criteria including ▲ease of use ▲efficiency ▲functionality ▲emotional quality ▲safety ▲durability ▲marketability.

Beautyrest Zalmon earned the honor of a special award by receiving high praise in multiple areas such as emotional quality, ease of use and functionality, and safety. Zalmon is a steady seller in Simmons' flagship mattress collection Beautyrest and is known as the premium national bridal bed standard.

First, it received high marks for introducing emotional science to provide users with emotional quality. Simmons analyzed and evaluated users' emotions based on body pressure distribution and spinal shape during sleep. Through this, satisfaction felt when lying on the bed is quantified and applied to mattress analysis and development. The application of this emotional science offers users a special comfort.

Excellent convenience and outstanding functionality also greatly contributed to this award. Zalmon responds to the body's curves with its proprietary independent pocket spring and dual action design, supporting the body without gaps while providing comfort that does not shake even with a partner’s tossing and turning. Additionally, the 'Zoning' system optimally supports the body's weight center and curves, and the 'Layering' technology ideally combines over 50 types of premium materials on top of the pocket springs to create the best sleep environment.

The added 'Plush Pillow Top' on the mattress surface absorbs and disperses body load, allowing users to feel comfort from the very first moment they lie down. The No-Wire Inner System and Non-flip system are also included, reducing concerns about mattress deformation such as sagging or shifting.

Outstanding safety cannot be overlooked. Simmons developed and launched Korea’s first and only flame-retardant mattress in 2018 and obtained a patent last year. Furthermore, it received national eco-friendly certification from the Ministry of Environment and acquired 'Radon Safety Certification' from the Korea Standards Association for about 40 mattress products on the market. Simmons is the only bed brand that meets all three consumer safety conditions.

A Simmons representative said, "This award is the result of Simmons’ unique philosophy on sleep and unparalleled technology, continuously researching consumers’ body types, sleep habits, and lifestyles." They added, "We will continue to introduce ergonomically excellent products and do our best to provide consumers with the best sleep environment."
