Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Medium-firm to firm (6.5-7/10), with reviewers citing it as "firm but with premium comfort layers."
- Feel Description: On first lie-down you’ll feel a plush pillow-top, followed by responsive foam and micro-coil layers that provide lift and support. You won’t feel like you’re sinking deeply — more like being gently held.
- Our Take: If you want premium materials, strong cooling, and a feel that bridges comfort and support, this mattress hits that sweet spot. If you prefer ultra-soft plush or ultra-firm "bed-on-top" feel, you might find it slightly in between.
Construction & Materials
Height: Approximately 15″ tall (premium profile).
Design: Elite-tier hybrid featuring advanced cooling cover, dense comfort layers, micro-coil and zoned support core.
Layer Breakdown:
-

Pillow-Top & Comfort Layers: Quilted pillow-top followed by high-density foams and micro-coils for contouring and responsiveness.
-
Support Core: Zoned individually wrapped steel coils for spinal alignment and durability.
- Base/Foundation Layer: High-density foam foundation to enhance longevity and structural integrity.
Why It Matters: With high‐end materials and thoughtful layering, the Twilight Elite combines plush surface comfort with serious support — making it a luxury hybrid that doesn’t compromise.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 10 / 10 | Outstanding — in lab tests, pressure maps showed very low PSI values and minimal pressure points even in side & back positions. |
| Cooling | 10 / 10 | Top-tier cooling build: the cover, micro-coil comfort layers and airflow design make this one of the best for warm sleepers. |
| Support | 9 / 10 | Strong support for a luxury mattress — the zoned coils hold alignment well, especially for back and combo sleepers. |
| Motion Isolation | 8 / 10 | Very good; the dense comfort foams do well at absorbing movement though the micro-coil layer adds some responsiveness (i.e., slight bounce). |
| Edge Support | 8.5 / 10 | Strong edge performance — test results show good sitting and lying support on the perimeter. |
| Ease of Movement | 9 / 10 | Despite its premium comfort layers, the hybrid design offers noticeably better moveability and responsiveness than ultra-soft foam beds. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Excellent fit. With top marks for pressure relief and luxury comfort layers, your shoulders and hips are well-cushioned without sacrificing support.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good match. The mattress’s strong support core maintains spinal alignment while the comfort layers prevent feeling too rigid.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Good potential, but slightly mixed. While the support is solid, the plush surface may allow a bit more hip sink than ultra-firm models. If you sleep mostly on your stomach and weigh heavier, test in-store.
-
Combination Sleepers: Excellent choice. The responsiveness and ease of movement make shifting positions smooth, while support remains consistent.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Because of the 15" profile, check your fitted sheets and bed frame compatibility - deep pocket sheets often required.
- Lie down in your typical sleep positions (side, back, possibly stomach) with your usual pillow to test how your hips and spine feel.
- If sharing the bed, have your partner shift positions while you stay still to test motion isolation.
- Compare this model side-by-side with the Helix Midnight Elite (which offers a slightly softer feel) in our Seattle mattress store to discern which comfort-support balance fits you best.
