LAYER designs MAZZU modular outdoor sleep system

The MAZZU Camping Mattress is a modular sleep system for outdoor use, developed by design studio LAYER for sleep start-up MAZZU. The foam-free mattress is built around 72 independent spring units that adjust to the body, offering ergonomic support in a portable, repairable format.

The mattress system replaces conventional foam or inflatable pads with isolated, pre-compressed coil units encased in durable jackets. Each spring unit adapts independently to the body’s contours, supporting various sleeping positions. A modular construction allows the components to be assembled using snap-fit connectors and paracord lashings, with a slim topper providing surface leveling and additional softness. The color palette references typical outdoor gear, incorporating foliage tones and bright accents for visibility, while the open structure exposes the engineering of the spring units.

Studio LAYER’s design for the spring units allows them to nest compactly for transport. The complete system, including the foldable base, spring modules, and topper, fits into a wheeled case approximately the size of a standard cooler. The case can be repurposed as a storage box or nightstand on site, adding functional versatility at the campsite.

Foam-based mattresses contribute significantly to global waste and chemical pollution. The MAZZU Camping Mattress is entirely free of PU foam and glue. Each component, from the base to spring units, and topper, can be individually cleaned, repaired, or replaced, extending product lifespan and reducing environmental impact in line with circular economy principles.

MAZZU is a Chinese sleep start-up focused on engineering-driven, user-centred solutions. The camping mattress follows the original MAZZU Mattress, also designed by LAYER, which received a Red Dot Design Best of Best Award for its modular, foam-free construction. Together, the two products demonstrate an approach to sleep systems that emphasizes sustainability, modularity, and high-performance design for both indoor and outdoor contexts. The MAZZU camping mattress launches in October 2025.

    This 7,000 sf house is nestled on a heavily wooded hilltop site in Ross, CA with breathtaking views of Mt. Tam and the San Francisco Bay over native California Oaks in one direction and the town of Ross through majestic old-growth redwoods in the other. The parti is a composition of simple volumes that maximizes a sense of openness to these views while maintaining privacy from neighbors and creating distinct zones within the property. Materials were carefully selected to strike a balance between a precise modernist language and the woodsy pastoral sensibility of this Northern California site. The volumes are clad in a terracotta rainscreen with rheinzink fascias. Custom aluminum doors and windows have extremely minimal sightlines. The landscape design was carefully considered to create different outdoor experiences to enhance the house. The floating master suite volume pushes out over the main living volume towards the canyon and views. The main dining kitchen area opens up to a lush lawn while the main living space steps down from a concrete plinth onto a wood floor that extends outdoors to a wood deck and anchored by a linear fire element. Guest rooms face the concrete terrace and look out over the mirror surface of an infinity edge lap pool hovering two inches above deck level. A fountain conceived as an 18″-high monolithic volume of water is visible from the entry and doubles as a spa. A home theater is located in the basement and a separate volume houses a gym area with a spa and an office for the owner’s business and his employees complete with its own private deck.
