People who toss and turn a lot at night and wake up with stiffness in their shoulders or lower back are usually looking for a mattress that supports the body gently and evenly. The Brinkhaus Modena TTFK is a pocket-coil mattress that combines precise support with a soft gel comfort layer. This creates a sleeping experience that is both supportive and pleasantly yielding—especially when you want to relieve pressure on your shoulders while sleeping on your side.

- People who sleep on their backs and value stable, ergonomic support for their pelvis and back.
- People who frequently change positions while sleeping.

- For those who value a washable cover and easy hygiene.

What the Modena TTFK Means for Your Sleep
Precise support provided by the 1,000-ton pocket spring core
The core consists of approximately 1,000 individually sewn-in barrel-shaped pocket springs (688 springs in the 90 × 200 cm size). Each spring responds independently to pressure. As a result, the mattress adapts to the contours of the body with point-elastic support and yields only where pressure is applied. For many people, this means a more stable alignment of the spine and the feeling of being supported evenly—no matter what sleeping position they’re in.
7 support zones and a well-defined shoulder zone
The seven zones provide targeted support for the shoulders, back, pelvis, and legs. The distinct shoulder comfort zone allows the shoulder to sink in deeper when lying on one’s side. This helps reduce pressure and keeps the spine closer to its natural alignment. This gives side sleepers, in particular, a more restful night’s sleep and greater confidence in choosing the right mattress.
Gel-infused insole for soft comfort and breathability
On both sides, an active gel layer approximately 4.5 cm thick provides a pleasantly soft, comfortable surface. At the same time, its open structure improves air circulation inside the mattress. This combines a supple sleeping experience with a dry sleeping environment—a level of comfort that is particularly noticeable when falling asleep.
A dry sleeping environment thanks to Rhombo-therm® perforation
The gel-infused topper features Rhombo-therm® perforations. These fine slits create channels that allow air and moisture to escape more easily. Combined with the open-cell spring core, this creates a well-ventilated interior—for a sleeping experience that feels dry and fresh rather than stuffy.
Comfort and the feeling of lying down
The Modena TTFK is clearly in the realm of innerspring mattresses: firm, supportive, and responsive. The soft gel comfort layer on top of the core makes the initial sink-in feeling pleasantly gentle, without sacrificing the sense of support. If you’re looking for a very soft, sink-in foam mattress, this one is a deliberate departure from the norm—but if you prefer a breathable, well-supportive base with a soft top layer, you’ll find this mattress to be the perfect match.
Materials and Workmanship
The removable double-layer cover is made of 61% polyester, 35% viscose, and 4% elastane (Lycra). It is quilted with 200 g/m² climate fiber and a 10 mm layer of comfort foam padding, which enhances the soft surface. A full-length zipper allows for easy removal for washing at temperatures up to 60 °C. The spring core has a density of 40 kg/m³. The mattress is manufactured in Germany; the materials are tested for harmful substances in accordance with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Baby Class 1).
What firmness level is right for me?
The Modena TTFK is available in three firmness levels: H2 (medium-firm), H3 (firm), and H4 (very firm). The right choice depends on your body weight, preferred sleeping position, and personal comfort preferences. Side sleepers often prefer a slightly more adaptable firmness level, while those with a higher body weight often prefer firmer support. If you’re unsure, our mattress finder or a personal consultation at our showrooms in Dagmersellen (Lucerne) and Volketswil (Zurich)—either by phone or in person—can help.
