Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: The medium version testers rated at about 6.5-7/10 in firmness.
- Feel Description: You’ll feel a cooling cover (GlacioTex or similar) that has a “cool-to-the-touch” effect, then foam comfort layers that offer initial contour, followed by a tall zoned pocket coil support core that keeps you lifted and supported.
- Our Take: With our ratings (cooling 9/10, support 8.5/10, ease of movement 8.5/10) this model strikes a balance: you feel comfort and responsiveness, but still plenty of structure. If you prefer a very "lying-in-the-mattress" soft feel, this might feel a little firm/structured.
Construction & Materials
Height: Around 13.25".
Design: Cooling-enhanced hybrid combining foam layers + zoned pocket coils.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cover: Cooling knit cover infused with cooling fibers/phase-change materials - contributes strongly to the cooling performance.
- Comfort Layers: A few inches of responsive poly-foam (CopperFlex, TitanFlex etc) designed for both contour and cooling.
-
Support Core: 8" + zoned individually wrapped steel coils for strong support and reduced sagging.
- Base/Foundation Layer: High-density foam under the coils to stabilize the build.
Why It Matters: The combination of a cooling top layer and a strong coil core explains why our ratings for cooling and support are elevated. It also helps with responsiveness (ease of movement) and good alignment for multiple sleep positions.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 8.5 / 10 | Very good - reviewers found minimal pressure points in both back and side positions. |
| Cooling | 9 / 10 | Excellent performance. Objective lab data shows significantly lower surface temps than average for similar mattresses. |
| Support | 8.5 / 10 | Strong. The tall coil core and zoning help maintain good spinal alignment across positions. |
| Motion Isolation | 6.5 / 10 | Moderate. Because of the coil core and responsive comfort foams, there is more bounce than ultra-dense foam beds; not the very best for minimal partner disturbance. |
| Edge Support | 8 / 10 | Above average. Lab tests show good edge reinforcement and minimal edge collapse in many versions. |
| Ease of Movement | 8.5 / 10 | Very good. The responsive foams plus coil core help repositioning ease - great for combination sleepers. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Very good fit. The pressure relief is strong, so if you’re a side sleeper and want good cushioning + support, this mattress works well.
-
Back Sleepers: Excellent match. Support core holds you up; the comfort layer keeps you from feeling rigid.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Good, depending on body weight. If you are lightweight (< 150 lbs) you may feel comfortable; heavier stomach sleepers might want the firmer version to avoid hip-sink. As some reviews caution heavy stomach sleepers against the medium version.
-
Combination Sleepers: Very good. The high ease-of-movement and supportive core make it a excellent choice for people who change positions during the night.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Bring your pillow to test accurate head/neck alignment, especially if you’re side-sleeping.
- Because this mattress is cooling/prominent build, check fitted sheet depth and bed frame height compatibility (thicker mattress).
- If sharing the bed, test partner motion by one person lying still while the other moves - see how much motion you feel.
- Be aware: some testers noted the top surface is slightly slippery (sheet bunching) in certain versions.
