Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Independent testing places this model at approximately medium (around 5.5 / 10) for the standard Blue Series 1 feel.
- Feel Description: On first lie-down you’ll notice a latex top layer that offers bounce and responsiveness, rather than a slow sink-in typical of memory foam. Reviewers described it as "plush yet supportive" and noted that even at 210 lbs the spine stayed aligned.
- Our Take: The Blue Series 1 walks the line nicely—it gives a bit of comfort and contouring but keeps you "on" the mattress rather than "in" it. That makes it a strong pick for sleepers who want comfort and structure.
Construction & Materials
Height: Approximate height around 15".
Design: High-end hybrid featuring latex, premium foams, and a reinforced coil base.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cover: A breathable knit cover (often with gel or copper enhancements) plus a Talalay latex comfort layer. Reviewers pointed out the "2 inches of latex and 2 inches of foam" comfort combo.
-
Comfort/Transition Layers: Latex + foam combination gives some soft contouring while preserving responsiveness and durability.
-
Support Core: Individually wrapped coils with zoned design and reinforced edge support (notably good edge scores in testing).
- Base/Foundation Layer: High-density foam under the coils to maintain structure and durability over time.
Why It Matters: The use of latex and a coil core offers cooler sleep, faster recovery (less "stuck" feeling), and strong structural support - key for combination sleepers, hot sleepers, and those seeking durability.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 8 / 10 | Quite good - reviewers noted shoulders and hips were cushioned, but some heavier side-sleepers/higher-weight back sleepers felt less contour than ultra-plush models. |
| Cooling | 9 / 10 | Very strong cooling performance: reviewers experienced minimal heat buildup, thanks to latex, coils, and cooling features in the cover. |
| Support | 10 / 10 | Excellent support - especially remarkable for a comfort-oriented mattress. Strong ratings for alignment and durability in testing for this model. |
| Motion Isolation | 7 / 10 | Good—but not at the ultra-quiet level of dense-foam beds. The latex/coils give more bounce. Reviewers noted "motion isolation similar to most medium latex hybrids." |
| Edge Support | 9 / 10 | Very strong. Independent testers gave edge support an 8/10 (in their scoring) and noted the reinforced perimeter held up well. |
| Ease of Movement | 9 / 10 | Excellent movement ease. The latex and coil combination means less restriction when shifting positions, which is great for combination sleepers. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Very good for many - but if you’re lighter or want a super plush feel, you may prefer something with deeper contouring.
-
Back Sleepers: Excellent match. The support core and strong alignment help keep your spine neutral while still offering comfort.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Good. While not ultra-firm, the support level is high enough for many stomach sleepers—just test for your body weight and hip alignment.
-
Combination Sleepers: Outstanding option. Responsive surface, strong support, and high ease of movement make this a top pick if you shift positions through the night.
