Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Medium (≈ 5.5 – 6 / 10).
- Feel Description: When you lie down, you’ll immediately sense the plush pillow-top and deep comfort layers, followed by a responsive support base that keeps you from feeling “stuck.” The effect is one of luxurious contouring without sacrificing alignment.
- Our Take: If you want strong pressure relief and cooling, but also want a mattress that supports you without excessive sink, this model hits that sweet spot. For those who need very firm support (e.g., strict stomach sleepers) you may want to test side-by-side with something firmer in our Seattle mattress store.
Construction & Materials
Height: ~15″–16″ (premium build)
Design: Elite-level hybrid with advanced cooling, dual micro-coils and zoned support.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cooling Cover: GlacioTex™ Elite cooling knit (phase-change type fabric) is standard — helps regulate temperature.
-
Pillow-Top & Comfort Layers: Thick quilted pillow-top followed by high-density “Dynamic” foam and two layers of micro-coils to provide deep contouring and gentle bounce.
-
Support Core: Individually wrapped steel coils with zoned mid-section to maintain spinal alignment and reduce sag.
- Base/Foundation Layer: High-density foam support base to reduce sag and increase durability.
Why It Matters: The build is elite in more ways than one: premium cover, micro-coil layers add responsiveness, and an engineered support core helps the mattress deliver both comfort and structure. In our Seattle showroom feel tests, this combination translated into a “luxury hotel” feel with stay-up top support.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 10 / 10 | Exceptional. The plush top and micro-coils cradle shoulders and hips with near-luxury softness. |
| Cooling | 10 / 10 | Elite-level cooling. Review labs highlight top-tier performance in temperature regulation. |
| Support | 9 / 10 | Very strong support given the plush feel—zoned coils hold alignment well for most sleepers. |
| Motion Isolation | 8 / 10 | Good isolation - but since the mattress has responsive layers, you may feel a bit more bounce than ultra-dense foam models. |
| Edge Support | 8.5 / 10 | Strong perimeter reinforcement; our in-store testers felt comfortable using the full edge. |
| Ease of Movement | 9 / 10 | High responsiveness thanks to micro-coils and hybrid design—great for combination sleepers. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Excellent match. With the highest pressure relief rating here, your shoulders and hips will thank you.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good. You’ll feel cushioned yet supported, and the strong support core maintains alignment.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Mixed. While the support is strong, the plush top may allow slightly more hip sink than ultra-firms—test this model in our Seattle showroom to see if it fits your preference.
-
Combination Sleepers: Excellent. The responsiveness and ease of movement make it ideal if you shift positions through the night.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Because of the substantial height (15"–16″), bring your sheet set or check that your fitted sheets accommodate “deep-pocket” mattresses.
- Lie down for at least 10 minutes in each major sleep position (side/back/stomach) so you can feel how your hips and shoulders align.
- If you’re sharing the bed, test motion transfer by having your partner shift positions while you lie still at the edge.
- Compare this model side-by-side with the Helix Midnight Luxe in our Seattle mattress store to feel the build and value difference.
