Outlast material designed by NASA

Outlast was originally developed by NASA to help regulate temperature and improve comfort in an array of products from footwear to pillows. Now Breasley has incorporated this innovative technology to help people sleep more soundly and wake up more refreshed. Outlast works by absorbing excess heat, storing it and releasing it to the body as it is needed, resulting in a constant microclimate where one sweats less and is less chilled.
‘Not to hot, not to cold, just right!’
