Quality
conquers

Designing new products with
the single goal to make them
cheaper, without taking into account
the environment or the
quality, is an outdated principle.

At Diamond Spring Company
everyone is convinced that priority
should be given to quality,
durability and the environment.
This is not only applicable for
designing new products but
also for improving the quality
of existing products.
What is Octaspring?
Octaspring is a synthetic or polyurethane spring that is produced of high density polyurethane and it is derived from the existing Polyspring spring. With the Polyspring the emphasis is on flexibility and on softness, the emphasis with the Octaspring is on strength, elasticity and robustness. It easily reaches the resistance of a steel spring, without showing a single disadvantage of that steel spring. Mattress internal core and mattress toppers that are made of this product are qualitative superior to every other bouncing material that is common on the bed market. The reasons why can be found farther down this page.

The name Octaspring refers to the octogonal shape that is clearly visible on the inside of the spring and is shaped by the eight strengthened ribs. These ribs are also visible on the outside of the spring. It are those strengthened ribs that give Octaspring its special qualities.

The revolutionary qualities of the Octaspring
During the development of the Octaspring, a lot of attention goes to quality, durability and the environment. That the environment is important for everyone, is a clear case and was therefore taken into account. Because we do not use steel springs to achieve an equal elasticity, a lot of air pollution can be prevented. There is also the use of Octaspring instead of a full PU mattress core.

As a result the volume of PU foam is reduced by 30 to 40%, which makes the carbon dioxide emissions decrease with thousands of tons worldwide. Furthermore, Octasprings can be manufactured of slabstock foam
without any additional forms of cutting waste, which makes a big difference in comparison with the PU mattress cores that are made on a contour cutting machine.

Beside these curiosities, there are several physical qualities that make Octaspring an appealing product. Octaspring leads to a level of comfort that has not been known up to now.

Super point elasticity
Octasprings are not vertically linked to each other in the mattress core, but they are attached with the upper and underlying support. This offers excellent point elasticity and makes it possible for the Octaspring to move nearly
tridimensional.
Durability
Octasprings are tested on a life span of minimum 10 to 15 years, according to EN 1957 norms.
They stand those tests excellently.
Varying degrees of hardness and qualities
Octasprings are available in several degrees of hardness and densities. As a result, the exact necessary resistance can be built up in the mattress core in accordance with the several weight classes and body contours of people. For more details see the accompanying list of qualities and degrees of hardness.
Air and moisture transport
Octasprings are manufactured of air-permeable polyurethane foam and are therefore air and fluid transportable. The fluids that someone loses during sleep, will therefore find a way out of the mattress in order to avoid the occurrence of a dank surface in bed that can appear when fluids can not escape. In addition, the Octaspring core does not need foam blocks around the mattress core as the Octaspring core offers sufficient strength that reaches the edges of the mattress. The “open border” system as well is applied, resulting in a perfect ventilating
whole, and making sure that the temperature inside the bed is stabilized.
Diverse supporting zones
The Octaspring system allows different resistance to each
row of springs. Because that is not always desirable, up till 10
different resistance levels, which have one by one different compositions, are built in.
Perfect for electric boxsprings
and slatted bases

Because not a single steel wire can influence the flexibility of the mattress core and the Octaspring
acts as a very homogeneous whole, the core will automatically take on the precise position of the slatted base. Without a risk of damaging the mattress.
Various spring heights
Octasprings are manufactured in 3 different heights, nl. 6 and 7 cm height, 8 and 9 cm height, and 11 and 12 cm height, depending on whether one or two supports
are installed. Octaspring can also be produced with one single support so that one side is free for installing other materials or things.
Combining possibilities of diverse types of Octasprings
As mentioned above, the Octasprings are produced in several heights. Those heights offer a lot of possibilities because one can easily combine several qualities of Octasprings to reach an ideal resistance. Cores with a height of 20 cm or more, for example, can be combined in a very stable way.
Octasprings in mattress toppers
Very low springs can be incorporated in the core of the mattress topper. If you combine that with the fact that it is possible to choose various resistance levels and the fact that Octaspring and all other used materials are very air-permeable and work ventilating. All those characterizations make Octaspring the ideal material for the topper core.

These are the test results of all qualities and heights with the initial hardness on the one hand and the hardness after the rolling test and the individual fatigue test under the compressor on the other hand (30 000 times).
