Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Reviewers of the Medium version place it around 6/10 (softer than average) when tested.
- Feel Description: The Owl features a plush pillow-top with a Talalay latex layer that provides responsiveness (less sink than many memory-foam models) and a coil base that keeps you on top of the mattress rather than swamped in it.
- Our Take: With our ratings factored in (strong support, good pressure relief), the Owl offers a premium feel that blends contouring comfort with lift. It’s especially good if you like latex’s bounce and responsiveness or you shift sleep positions frequently.
Construction & Materials
Height: Approximately 12.5″
Design: Latex-hybrid: layers of Talalay latex + transition foam + pocketed coils + base foam.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cover: Organic-knit cotton with wool and quilted foam pillow-top for initial cushion feel.
-
Comfort Layers: 3" of Talalay latex for contour + responsiveness.
- Transition Foam: Thin layer of comfort foam to ease into the support core
-
Support Core: Pocketed steel coils giving core structure and breathability.
- Base/Foundation Layer: Dense foam under the coils to prevent sag and provide durability.
Why It Matters: The latex + coil design gives faster bounce and better mobility (reflected in our "Ease of Movement" rating). The coil and latex combination also supports cooling and helps the mattress feel durable and high-quality.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 8 / 10 | Good cushioning - many reviewers note the latex/pillow-top offers solid relief for shoulders & hips. |
| Cooling | 7.5 / 10 | Strong - but not elite. Reviewers liked its breathability and latex helps, but some felt it didn’t cool quite like the most advanced cooling beds. |
| Support | 8 / 10 | Solid support, especially for its comfort level. The coils give good lift and alignment; heavier sleepers may want the Firm version. |
| Motion Isolation | 8.5 / 10 | Very good for a hybrid/latex design. Reviewers note good ease of repositioning (our “Ease of Movement” rating too) and moderate partner motion transfer. |
| Edge Support | 7 / 10 | Decent. Some testing shows "fair" edge support - sitting at the edge or near mattress perimeter may feel slightly less robust than premium reinforced models. |
| Ease of Movement | 7.5 / 10 | Good responsiveness - thanks to latex and spring core but not as brisk as some ultra-bouncy models or firm beds. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Good choice - our pressure relief rating is strong, so shoulders and hips should feel well-supported. If you’re lighter or want super soft feel, test the Plush version.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good. The support core and comfort layers combine to keep your spine aligned while offering surface comfort.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Moderate. The support is decent, but if you’re a heavier stomach-sleeper you may want a firmer version (or the Owl Firm) to prevent hip sag.
-
Combination Sleepers: Strong pick. The latex/responsive build allows for movement and switching positions without feeling stuck.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Bring your pillow to test actual comfort and head/neck alignment in our showroom.
- Because latex is responsive, lay down in your usual sleep positions and see how you feel after 10 minutes.
- If you share the bed, test motion transfer (one partner moves, other lies still).
- Confirm your bed frame and sheets accommodate the mattress height and that edge feel is acceptable for you.
