Does it actually sleep cool?

The gel memory foam and cool-touch cover are designed to pull heat away, and many owners say it sleeps cooler than their old foam bed. It is still an all-foam mattress, so very hot sleepers may find it warm.

Is it good for couples?

Yes. The foam absorbs movement, so a partner turning over is less likely to wake the other. It is also silent, with no springs to squeak.

What firmness does it feel like?

It is a medium-feel memory foam that contours to the body. Side and back sleepers tend to like it; stomach sleepers and those who want a firm bed may find it too soft.

Does it need a box spring?

No. An all-foam mattress works on a slatted frame, platform bed or adjustable base. A solid, supportive foundation is what matters.

How does it compare with a hybrid mattress?

It isolates motion better and costs less than most hybrids, but hybrids generally offer more bounce and firmer edges. Choose this one for pressure relief and quiet; choose a hybrid for a springier feel.
