Tactilus® by NexGen - High Performance Mattress Sensor System

The Tactilus by NexGen Body Mapping Mattress mat is designed to measure pressure distribution and magnitude between the body and a mattress or any other contacting surface. Pressure is a key consideration for any product that requires prolonged body contact. Our Tactilus system is the most economical, scientific and user-friendly system for surface pressure mapping available today.

Key Benefits

• Evaluate the comfort and design of mattresses with full body pressure mapping
• Perform comparative testing between different mattress surface materials
• Record measurements across the entire body simultaneously
• Visualize in real-time scenarios with body shifting into different positions
• Use scientific data to validate comfort assumptions
• Use data in marketing material to communicate product benefits
• Fabric that adapts to all body types

How It Is Used

• Research and development
• Product design optimization
• Comfort level testing
• Competitive benchmarking
• Retail applications

Tactilus Technology

Tactilus is matrix based tactile surface sensor that works by the principle of piezoresistance. Tiny sensing cells cover the entire surface area of our sensor “skin” allowing for discrete spot pressure analysis at any point in the contact region.

Tactilus captures data from a series of sensor points propagated across the body surface and assimilates the data into our software providing you with colorized pressure maps and detailed statistical reports.

Custom sized pressure mats can be ordered. Contact NexGen Ergonomics for details.

Key Tactilus Features

• No training required with easy to use software
• Durable material
• High resolution with over 1600 sensors
