 Octaspring® – Vanema: Vanema has introduced a new cabin crew mattress using its Patented Octaspring® Aerospace technology. With foam spring technology for breathable support and natural thermoregulation, the technology uses 50 percent fewer material in its production, saving up to three kilograms of weight per mattress on the aircraft. El Al Israel Airlines partnered with the company to provide the mattress for crew on its 777s. octaspringtechnology.com

 portable IFE Sierra – Astronics Corporation: Astronics’ Sierra is an affordable, scalable solution that delivers IFE as a standalone unit from a single battery or, when installed and powered, can employ multiple units merged into a single network to cover a larger aircraft cabin. Sierra enables passengers to enjoy streaming audio, video, digital magazine content and more, matching the experience of installed IFE without the need for a supplemental type certificate (STC).

 SkyClip+ device holder: The SkyClip is a simple and affordable mounted mobile device holder. It eliminates the needs for passengers to balance several items on the tray, hold a personal device or adjust to get comfortable. It is foldable with non-slip surfaces and includes a detachable cord to secure the device. SkyClip+ works just as effectively on any flat surface. Compatible with most devices. Branding and custom colors available upon request. Branded SkyClips+ will fly on Air Canada Rouge starting in April. theskyclip.com

Other features include a low HIC / Femur test valued by design offering greater occupant protection and competitive weight for fully integrated Economy Class seats. Dynamicsafety.tech
