The SELECT mattress from FDM offers first-class sleeping comfort in our test. The SELECT mattress is made from High Resilience Black foam and has a non-uniform cell structure. This increases the elasticity and durability of the mattress and has a positive effect on ventilation. The foam used supports the body perfectly. For even better comfort, a visco-foam layer with memory function has been used. The sewn-in zipper makes it easy to remove the cover. The mattress can be used on both sides. The premium mattress cover is made from first-class hypoallergenic materials. The outer fabric is made of breathable 100% polyester, quilted with 100% polyester climate fibers (200 g/m2) and fleece (15 g/m2). Due to the different structure, the mattress has two firmness levels. One side of the mattress has firmness level 3 and the second has firmness level 4. The mattress adapts quickly and reliably to the sleeping position, ensuring a unique sleeping experience.
Advantages
- Pressure relief
- Breathable cover
- Can be used on both sides
Disadvantages

After an intensive practical test of the SELECT mattress from FDM, we would like to emphasize that the mattress was found to be very comfortable. Its first-class sleeping comfort is ensured by the optimal adaptation to the body in every sleeping position, which leads to excellent pressure distribution. This in turn reduces muscle tension and minimizes unpleasant pressure points during sleep. Despite the lack of a long-term test, the convincing durability of the mattress was established, as it offered long-lasting quality and maintained its shape and support over a long period of time. The even pressure distribution over the entire body, which is promoted by the body contouring of the mattress, supports a restful sleep. The cover protects the mattress from soiling and prevents the penetration of bacteria, fungi and mold. The effective temperature regulation of the mattress also prevents overheating during sleep, which contributes to the overall quality of sleep. Overall, the SELECT mattress from FDM offers an outstanding sleeping environment that focuses on comfort, durability, body contouring, temperature regulation and odor resistance. Based on our practical test, we can confirm that the SELECT mattress from FDM made a very good impression and meets the expectations of a high-quality mattress.
