Layla Memory Foam Mattress Review

Layla mattresses are designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and support for a good night's sleep. The mattresses are made with a unique combination of memory foam and polyfoam, which provides a soft yet supportive feel.

Layla mattresses are distinctive in that they offer dual firmness, which means that you can choose the firmness of the mattress to your liking. They offer two mattresses: a hybrid and a memory foam mattress. The hybrid mattress is more responsive, whereas the memory foam mattress is more contouring. The Memory Foam mattress is a better and more affordable choice for sleepers who like to feel "hugged" by their mattress.

In this review, we will test the Layla Memory Foam mattress, specifically regarding:

• Pros and cons.
• Unboxing experience.
• Feel and comfort.
• Construction and design.
• Performance test results.
• Warranty policies, company policies, and all the FAQs you might want to know.

Layla Memory Foam Overview

Pros

• Great motion isolation: Memory foam mattresses are known for their ability to isolate motion, which means that you are less likely to feel your partner moving around during the night. This is a good feature for couples or people who share a bed with pets.
• Flippable with soft and firm sides: You can flip the mattress over to choose the firmness that is right for you. The soft side is better for side sleepers, while the firm side is better for back and stomach sleepers.
• Copper gel infusion: The copper gel helps to regulate temperature, making the mattress cooler to sleep on. It also has antimicrobial properties, which help prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
• Hypoallergenic and odor-resistant: The mattress is made with materials that are hypoallergenic and odor-resistant. This makes it a good choice for people who have allergies or are sensitive to dust mites.

Cons

• Not as bouncy: Memory foam mattresses are designed to conform to the shape of your body, which can make them feel less bouncy than other types of mattresses. This is because memory foam mattresses do not have springs, which are what give other mattresses their bounce. However, for others, the lack of bounce can be a pro, as it can help reduce motion transfer and provide more support.

Who do we Recommend the Layla Memory Foam for

• Couples: The Layla Memory Foam mattress is a good choice for couples because it has great motion isolation. This means that you are less likely to feel your partner moving around during the night.
• People who share a bed with pets: If you share your bed with a pet, the Layla Memory Foam mattress can help minimize the amount of disturbance caused by your pet's movements.
• Side sleepers: Side sleepers need a mattress that is soft enough to relieve pressure on their hips and shoulders. The Layla Memory Foam mattress’s soft side is perfect for providing comfort for side sleepers, but it also has enough support to prevent them from sinking too far into the mattress.
• Back and stomach sleepers: Back sleepers need a mattress that is firm enough to support their lower back. The Layla Memory Foam mattress’s firm side is perfect for providing support for back and stomach sleepers, but it is also soft enough to be comfortable.
• People who sleep hot: The Layla Memory Foam mattress is made with copper-infused memory foam, which has antimicrobial properties. This helps to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, which can contribute to heat retention. Additionally, the mattress has a cooling cover that helps regulate temperature.
• People who are not sure what firmness is best: If you're not sure whether you prefer a soft or firm mattress, the Layla Memory Foam mattress is a great option. It has two sides with different firmness levels, so you can choose the one that's right for you.

Unboxing the Layla Memory Foam

Layla for Less knows that the unboxing experience is important to customers, so they make it easy to get your new mattress set up and ready to sleep on.

The mattress arrives in a personalized Layla box that is compact and easy to transport. The mattress itself weighs between 41 and 87 pounds, but it is compressed into a roll during shipping. This makes it possible for you to unbox it alone, even if you are not very strong.

To set up your Layla Memory Foam mattress, simply carry it to your bedroom and open the box. You'll find a welcome package that includes a tote bag, t-shirt, and pamphlet. Then, gently unroll the mattress onto your bed and carefully cut the plastic wrapping. The mattress will expand to its full height almost instantly.

As you start to cut through the plastic wrapping, you'll notice that the corners of the mattress expand all the way to the very ends. This provides support throughout the entire surface area of the bed, especially the edges. The mattress's seamless look is a testament to its excellent corner expansion.

We noticed a slight odor when we first unboxed the mattress. This was because the mattress is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams, which release a smell of newness that is not harmful. The odor is similar to the smell of new rubber, and it dissipates within a few hours. Once the odor is gone, you'll be able to sleep comfortably on your new mattress.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Layla Memory Foam

Layla Memory Foam Firmness

Firmness is a personal preference, but the Layla Memory Foam mattress offers a solution for everyone.

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is a dual-firmness mattress, which means that it has two different firmness levels that you can choose from. The soft side has a firmness of 4 on our scale, while the firm side has a firmness of 8.

To choose the right firmness level for you, consider your sleeping position, weight, and personal preferences. Side sleepers typically need a softer mattress to relieve pressure on their hips and shoulders. Back and stomach sleepers typically need a firmer mattress to support their spine. People with heavier body weights may need a firmer mattress to prevent them from sinking too far into it.

Layla Memory Foam Feel

When we first laid down on the Layla memory foam mattress, we were immediately enveloped in a cloud of soft, cool comfort. The luxurious cover felt like a gentle caress against our skin, and the memory foam conformed to our bodies perfectly, relieving pressure points and providing support.

We could feel the copper gel in the foam reacting to our body heat, providing a firming response around our deep compression areas. This made us feel like we were being held in place, but not too tightly. We were able to move around easily without feeling like we were going to sink too far into the mattress.

The mattress also kept us cool all night long. The breathable fabric of the cover allowed our body heat to escape, so we didn't get too hot or sweaty. We woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested, ready to face the day.

The feel of the mattress will differ depending on which side we are sleeping on. The soft side will let us sink in, while the firm side will make us feel like we are sleeping on top of the mattress. We find that the soft side is perfect for us, as we are mostly side sleepers.

Layla Memory Foam Comfort

We wanted to see if the Layla Memory Foam mattress would live up to its premium comfort standards, so we tested it in a variety of positions with reviewers of different body weights and sleeping styles.

Lightweight back sleepers found the soft side to be comfortable and supportive, while average-weight and heavyweight back sleepers preferred the firm side. Lightweight stomach sleepers found the soft side to be comfortable, while average-weight and heavyweight stomach sleepers found the firm side to be more comfortable.

We will discuss the mattress's pressure relief performance in more detail later in the review.

The Firm Side:

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Layla memory foam is a 10.5-inch mattress that is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams. These foams are made without harmful chemicals and materials, such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. They are also low in VOC emissions, which means that they do not emit harmful fumes.

The mattress also has a unique honeycomb-like design on the cover. This design makes it easy to tell which side is the soft and which is the firm. The soft side has a lighter gray color scheme, while the firm side is darker.

Layers

1. Cooling Cover (Soft Side): The top layer of the mattress is made from a soft, breathable fabric with a white/gray honeycomb pattern. This helps to regulate temperature and keep the mattress cool and comfortable.
2. Copper-Gel Memory Foam (Soft Side): The second layer of the mattress is a 3-inch layer of memory foam that is soft and plush. It is infused with copper gel, which helps to regulate temperature and provide pressure relief.
3. Max Airflow Support Foam: The third layer of the mattress is a 2-inch foam that helps to keep the mattress cool and comfortable. It does this by circulating air through the mattress, using surface modification technology, and zoned SMT for customized support.
4. Support Core Foam: The fourth layer of the mattress is a firm foam that provides support and motion isolation. This makes the mattress durable and comfortable for all sleeping positions.
5. Copper-Gel Memory Foam (Firm Side): The fifth layer of the mattress is a 1-inch layer of memory foam infused with copper gel. This helps to regulate temperature and provide pressure relief, while the thinner construction allows you to feel the support core better.
6. Cooling Cover (Firm Side): The bottom layer of the mattress is made from the same soft, breathable fabric as the top layer, but with a gray/black pattern. This helps to keep the mattress cool and comfortable and also provides a more visually appealing finish.

Performance of Layla Memory Foam

Cooling

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is superior to most all-foam beds when it comes to temperature neutrality. This is due to the copper infusion in both memory foam layers, which helps to draw heat away from the body. Most sleepers will not have to worry about waking up in a sweat on this mattress.

We tested the mattress's cooling performance by lying on it for 20 minutes and measuring the temperature on both sides. We did not experience any excessive heat buildup, but we did notice a noticeable difference in temperature between the area we slept in and the area we did not. Overall, we felt cool, especially on the firmer side.

The firm side of the bed tends to remain more temperature-neutral because it contains less memory foam. Memory foam is known for trapping body heat, but the copper infusion helps to counteract this tendency. The side with less memory foam is naturally a bit cooler.

While this mattress may not be the coolest we've tried, as it can trap heat for heavy sleepers who sink in, it still performed exceptionally well in our cooling tests. We gave it a 4.3/5 rating for cooling.

Responsiveness

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is a conforming mattress, which means that it molds to the shape of your body. This can make it difficult to move around on the mattress.

We tested the responsiveness of the mattress by placing a 20-pound ball on it and then measuring how long it took the mattress to return to its original shape after the ball was removed. The mattress fully recovered in about 1.8 seconds on the soft side and 1.2 seconds on the firm side. This indicates that the mattress has average responsiveness, so we gave it a 3.6/5 rating.

Movement is fairly easy on this mattress, though not as easy as it would be on a more responsive bed. Sleepers using the soft side in particular might feel that the hug of the memory foam creates initial difficulty when they try to move out of a position they’ve settled into. Movement is easier on the firm side of the bed since that side contains less memory foam.

Motion Isolation

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is a great choice for couples who want to minimize motion transfer. This is because the mattress is made with memory foam, which is a material that is known for absorbing motion.

To test the motion isolation properties of the Layla Memory Foam mattress, we conducted two tests.

In the first test, we placed a glass full of water on one side of the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side. The water in the glass did not move at all, indicating that very little motion was transferred from one side of the mattress to the other.

In the second test, we rolled on one side of the mattress while our partner lay on the other side. Our partner reported that they did not feel any movement, even though we were rolling around quite a bit. This further confirms that the Layla Memory Foam mattress does an excellent job of isolating motion.

The soft side of the bed is somewhat better at isolating motion than the firm side. This is because the soft side has a thicker (3-inch) uppermost memory foam layer than the memory foam layer (1-inch) on the firm side.

Overall, the Layla Memory Foam mattress performs exceptionally well in isolating motion on both sides. We gave the mattress a strong 5/5 rating for motion isolation.

Edge Support

The Layla Memory Foam mattress has average edge support for an all-foam bed. This means that it is not as good at supporting the weight of people who sleep near the edge of the mattress as hybrid or innerspring mattresses.

We conducted a simple test to evaluate the edge support of the Layla Memory Foam mattress. We pushed the edges of the mattress with our hands and were able to push in quite a bit before feeling any counterpressure. We also sat on the edges of the mattress and sank in slightly, but not enough to feel like we would fall off.

The firm side of the mattress has stronger edge support than the soft side. This is because the firm side has a thicker layer of high-density polyfoam, which helps to support the weight of people who sleep near the edge of the mattress.

Overall, the Layla Memory Foam mattress has average edge support. We gave the mattress a 4/5 rating for edge support.

Noise

The Layla Memory Foam mattress has exceptional noise isolation, meaning that it does not make much noise when you move around on it. This is because the mattress is made with memory foam, which is a dense and relatively quiet material.

We conducted a simple test to assess the noise isolation of the Layla Memory Foam mattress. We dropped a 20-pound ball onto the mattress and listened for any squeaking or noises through our sensitive microphones. We were not able to hear any squeaking or noises, which is indicative of excellent noise isolation.

The mattress is silent according to our test, so we gave it a 5/5 rating. This means that the mattress is perfect for people who are looking for quiet sleep.

Sex

Ideal mattresses for sex should be bouncy, cool, supportive, and quiet. Sex can be slightly more difficult on a mattress that contours to the body, as this can inhibit movement and make it more difficult to change positions. Mattresses that retain heat can also be uncomfortable during sex.

The firm side of the Layla mattress is better for sex than the soft side. The firm side has less memory foam in its comfort layers and feels more responsive. This means that it is less likely to inhibit movement and has stronger edges, which makes it less likely to slip off the bed.

We gave it a 4.5/5 for this category.

Pressure Relief

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is designed to provide pressure relief, and it does a good job of it. This is due to the combination of memory foam and a zoned transition layer.

Memory foam is a material that is known for conforming to the shape of the body, which helps to relieve pressure points. The zoned transition layer helps to keep heavier body parts from sinking down too far, which can also lead to discomfort.

In our pressure relief test, we took a 20-minute nap on each side of the mattress and then measured the pressure on different body zones. The pressure map below shows how the mattress responds to each sleeping position:

The pressure map shows that the Layla Memory Foam mattress is effective at relieving pressure for side sleepers. The hips and shoulders are cushioned by the memory foam layer, while the zoned transition layer provides support for the abdomen. This helps to keep the spine in alignment.

The firm side of the Layla Memory Foam mattress provides more support for stomach and back sleepers weighing more than 130 pounds. The thicker memory foam layer helps to distribute weight evenly across the body, while the zoned transition layer provides support for the hips and shoulders. This helps to keep the spine in alignment and reduce pain.

Accordingly, thanks to the mattress’s versatility, we gave it a 5/5 for pressure relief.
