Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Approximately 7 to 8 / 10 (firm to very firm feel).
- Feel Description: You'll feel a plush pillow-top softening the initial touch, but underneath sits dense foam layers and a zoned coil core that hold you up. Unlike very soft mattresses where you “sink in,” this one keeps you more “on” the surface.
- Our Take: If you like strong spinal support and minimal hip sink, this mattress hits the mark. But if your comfort zone is more cloud-like and plush, it may feel too firm.
Construction & Materials
Height: ~13.5″ (typical for the Luxe line)
Design: Hybrid with upgraded cover and zoned support system.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cooling Cover: Standard TENCEL™ breathable cover or upgrade to GlacioTex™ cooling cover for more heat draw-away.
-
Pillow-Top Layer: Quilted foam top adds a cushiony initial feel, though the overall mattress is still firm.
-
Comfort & Transition Foams: Includes Helix Responsive Foam plus Memory Plus foam to combine contouring (where needed) with firm structure beneath.
-
Support Core: Individually wrapped steel coils with zoned lumbar support (firmer mid-section) for spine alignment.
- Base Layer: High-density foam (DuraDense) to support the entire build and prevent sagging.
Why It Matters: The Twilight Luxe’s build emphasizes support and longevity: less contouring “hug” compared to softer beds, more structure. Also, the cooling design—especially with the upgraded cover—helps maintain a cooler sleeping surface, a plus in our Seattle showroom testing.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 7 / 10 | Very good support, but the firm surface means less “sink” for shoulders/hips compared to softer beds. Side sleepers with sensitive joints may want a softer feel. |
| Cooling | 8.5 / 10 | Standout for cooling: breathable coils, optional GlacioTex cover, and materials designed to dissipate heat. Well suited for hot sleepers. |
| Support | 9 / 10 | Excellent. One of the strongest areas for this model. Ideal for back and stomach sleepers who need strong lumbar/spine stability. |
| Motion Isolation | 6.5 / 10 | Good but not exceptional; the coil base adds bounce, so you’ll feel a little movement more than ultra-dense foam alternatives. Couples should test for their tolerance. |
| Edge Support | 8 / 10 | Strong edge support with reinforced perimeter. You’ll feel stable even near the sides. Great for full bed usage. |
| Ease of Movement | 9 / 10 | Responsive and springy enough to move around easily - great for combo sleepers who shift positions during the night. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Mixed. If you weigh less or prefer pronounced contouring at shoulders/hips, the firm surface may feel too rigid. Try it in-store and compare with softer Luxe models.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good. The supportive surface keeps hips from sagging, which is important for maintaining alignment when sleeping on your stomach.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Caution. The plushness may allow excessive hip sink, which can strain the lower back. Try in-store before committing.
-
Combination Sleepers: Good option. The high ease-of-movement score means you’ll find it easier to shift positions; just make sure the firmness aligns with your comfort preference.
