Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Approximately 6/10 on the industry 1-10 scale(Medium-Firm version). Reviewers describe it as a balanced medium-firm feel.
- Feel Description: You’ll first notice a plush pillow-top with cooling cover and contouring foam giving a soft surface feel. Underneath is a zoned coil support core that delivers lift and structure. For example, NapLab measured a moderate sink depth of 2.16" - showing it contours without sinking excessively.
- Our Take: With our ratings (pressure relief 8/10, support 8/10), the Sapira Chill strikes a solid balance between comfort and support. If you like moderate contouring (especially for back or combo sleeping) and responsiveness, this model delivers. For ultra-plush side-sleeping feel, you might look at its softer variant or a more contour-heavy mattress.
Construction & Materials
Height: Around 14" - reviewers note significant comfort-layer thickness.
Design: Hybrid build with cooling quilt-top, foam relief layers, zoned coils and a foundational base.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cooling Cover: A cover infused with cooling fibers and phase-change technology for a cooler initial feel. NapLab noted the cooling effect was "exceptionally good."
- Comfort Layers: A thick layer (5.25″ in some reviews) of poly foam and memory-foam-style foam offering contouring and cradle.
- Transition Layer / Zoned Foam: Additional foam layer + transition to coil core, intended to protect against bottoming out.
-
Support Core: Individually wrapped pocket coils (1,000+ in many configurations) with zoning (firmer in lumbar region) for alignment and support. Reviews confirm very good support across positions.
- Base/Foundation Layer: Dense foam base under the coil system for overall durability and structure.
Why It Matters: The hybrid design gives you the coolest sleep surface in this category, an elevated comfort layer for pressure relief (especially at hips/shoulders) and a strong coil core for support. For shoppers in Seattle looking to "try before you buy," this translates to a bed that feels premium - not just a basic online mattress.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 8 / 10 | Strong performance. In lab tests, lighter/average-weight testers had very low pressure map scores on the Sapira Chill. Heavy sleepers (230+ lbs) reported slightly more pressure. |
| Cooling | 7.5 / 10 | Above average. The cooling cover and airflow coil core help mitigate heat, though some testers still noted moderate heat retention compared to ultra-cool hybrids. |
| Support | 8 / 10 | Good all-round support thanks to the zoned coil core. Best for back and combo sleepers in our view. Heavy stomach sleepers might want a firmer feel. |
| Motion Isolation | 7.5 / 10 | Decent. Given the coil core and responsive surface, you’ll feel less partner motion than very bouncy beds, though not as "dead" as dense foam models. |
| Edge Support | 8 / 10 | Very good. Review testing measured excellent edge support (sitting sinkage ~3") and good lying-on-edge feel. |
| Ease of Movement | 8 / 10 | Very good for a hybrid. The quick responsiveness and moderate bounce make repositioning easy - great for combo sleepers. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Good. Many side sleepers will appreciate the contouring and comfort layers (pressure relief 8/10). If you’re lighter weight or want very deep "hug," a softer variant may be more comfortable.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good match. This mattress offers strong support plus comfort - your spine is well aligned, hips don’t sag, and you still get cushioning.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Moderate to good. Support core is solid, but if you’re heavy or demand a very firm surface to keep hips from sinking, you might want to test the firm-version of this model (or a firmer mattress).
-
Combination Sleepers: Very good. The ease of movement score 8/10 and responsive surface make this mattress agile for sleepers who shift positions often.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Bring your personal pillow so you can test with your head/neck alignment — it makes a big difference in comfort evaluation.
- Lie down in your usual sleep positions (side and back especially) for at least 10 minutes per position - you’ll feel how hips/shoulders align on the mattress.
- If you share the bed, test motion transfer: have your partner shift while you lie still and feel how much you sense.
- Because of the luxury height (14″) check that your fitted sheets accommodate the depth (deep-pocket often required) and bed frame supports the height.
