The comfort level is off the charts. When Emma says it has a ‘middle generation feel’ I’d say it’s medium in both a very soft and a very firm sense. Supportive and cushiony, you sink into it, but not in a way that feels like a marshmallow. While it’s super cozy it also acts as a ‘thermoregulated cocoon’ that helps you reach your ideal body temperature thanks to their thermosink technology, so you feel fresh and unclaustrophobic even on the hottest nights.
Another big advantage is the ‘no roll tooth’ function. My partner and I have different work and sleep schedules, so this motion absorption feature ensures that neither of us is disturbed by the other’s nighttime habits.
My one gripe is that the depth – which gives me great height and substance – also means my fitted sheets are a little too short. If you choose this mattress, or just go for a larger flat sheet, I’d recommend getting some deeper fitted sheets. And the mattress gives off a slight chemical smell for the first few hours after unpacking, so I recommend doing this process in a well-ventilated room.
The temperature regulation is really good and works all year round.
How do you choose the right mattress?
Research, weighing the pros and cons, and the final decision-making process form the most crucial stages in ensuring that you get a quality mattress that suits your body’s sleeping habits. A mattress is an investment that should last you for many years, so taking the time to choose carefully will mean you get the best possible benefits. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated, in-depth guide How to choose a mattress.
‘Everyone has their own preferences, and whether it’s firm or soft, dense or spongy, it’s important that a mattress provides you with the right comfort and support,’ says Mark Tremlett, founder of NaturalMate. James Leinhart emphasizes how important first-hand experience is before deciding on a mattress: ‘Sadly, a perfect night’s sleep rarely exists despite what the ads may promise you, so take your time to choose the right mattress that supports your body and always take advantage of offers before you buy.’
Choosing the right mattress for you depends on your body type and sleeping position. For example, side sleepers have different needs than back sleepers who often need more support. Some sleepers may need pressure relief in certain areas, others need hypoallergenic materials, while some may value temperature regulation. It’s actually quite a science, which is why we’ve compiled the best mattresses to invest in to help you choose which type of mattress is best for you.
While there is a lot of science involved in finding the right mattress for your body type and sleeping position, the most important thing is to see if you get a good night’s sleep. The level of firmness of the mattress is definitely something to think about – perhaps more so than choosing a spring or foam. There are soft, medium soft, medium-firm, and even firm orthopedic mattresses that are designed to suit all types of sleeping needs. Starting with the soft mattress option, a medium soft mattress is good for those who move around all night while hugging the shape of your body. This is also best for side sleepers. The next level up is a medium-firm mattress or medium-soft. This is ideal for back sleepers and mostly suits the average person who needs a little more back support while sleeping. Finally, a firm mattress will prevent back pain and help align your spine because it is firmer and prevents you from moving around too much. It is also a great choice for front sleepers or stomach sleepers.
What is a hybrid mattress?
While many of us may have grown up with fully grown mattresses, hybrid mattresses have become increasingly popular in recent years. A hybrid mattress (sometimes called a combination mattress) incorporates both springs and foam (and/or gel or latex) layers. Foam sections are usually on top to provide cushioning and comfort. Of course, this means that a hybrid mattress cannot be flipped, as it needs to go up in a certain way. Instead, the recommendation is to rotate the hybrid mattress every few months. As some people find memory foam mattresses a bit dense, hybrids are a great option as they combine the gentle bounce of springs, with body molding, to the supportive cushioning of memory foam. Hybrid mattresses are also suitable for different sleeping positions, whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper or stomach sleeper.
