Via hoses the individual chambers are tied together with a pump system to increase and decrease the amount of air supplied.

Sitting in an upright position ErgoFlexx offers lateral support to the passenger as well as lumbar support.
In recline or full flat position the chambers will be decompressed to offer more space for relaxation and sleeping.
A massage function is available (optional).

Sleeper Cushions

Sleeper cushions are developed and manufactured by Metzeler for seats intended to provide a comfortable support for the passenger while sitting as well as during complete recline, e.g. sleeping mode.

Inflation and deflation of chambers beneath the foams change the contour and load deflection automatically, relatively to the seats reclining angle.

Light Weight Cushions

For lowering the weight of passengers seat, seats may be provided with cushions manufactured from light weight materials. Weight savings gained will partially offset weight increases through IFE and other additional features.

Lumbar Supports

Inflatable Lumbar Supports

Lumbar Supports are produced from foam identical to the foam, from which backrest cushions are manufactured. This foam is contained in an air tight bag with a valve controlling the intake of air or deflation of the support. Due to the integration of the Lumbar Support into a cavity of the backrest cushion, additional comfort can be gained with a marginal increase of weight.

For new seats and retrofit. Any size and contour possible.

Fixed Lumbar Supports

Fixed lumbar support cushions are made from soft, visco-elastic foam. This foam positively forms around the lumbar area and adjusts itself to individual lumbar needs, throughout reclining positions.

Padded Covers

Padded covers are produced from foams laminated with fabrics selected by an airline. An advanced technique developed by Metzeler ensures that during repeated dry cleaning, no delamination will occur.

Padded covers will serve as soft touch layer and decorative element.

Thickness of cover may be increased to serve as cushion for weight optimized seats.

Mattresses for Crew Rests

Mattresses for Crew Rests are manufactured by Metzeler for several aircraft series, including Airbus A380 and A340.

Cushions for Flight- and Cabin Crew

Cushions for the Flight Crews and Cabin Crews are designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the aircraft manufacturer.
