Northern Nights Mattress Review

Northern Nights Mattress is a relatively good hybrid mattresses that is sold on QVC. They are reasonably priced while still being made of high-quality materials. Special features such as their Quantum coil technology and gel-infused foam ensure a restful night's sleep.

Although they do not offer a free trial period, QVC offer a 10-year warranty. Northern Nights mattress comes in 13.5" thickness, which is made of innerspring support and gel memory foam.

We thoroughly test the Nothern Nights Hybrid Mattress, and see whether it deserves your consideration or if there are better options.

Consider Northern Nights Mattress if

• You prefer hybrid mattresses - Northern Nights is made of both innerspring support and gel memory foam. This ensures a well-designed, high-quality mattress that can accommodate the needs of almost any sleeper.
• You want an affordable mattresses - Northern Nights mattresses are reasonably priced, making them an excellent value with outstanding features.
• You are a couple - Northern Nights has a comfortably soft feel with an excellent motion transfer qualities making it highly recommended for couples.

However, those points that might make you consider the Northern Nights Mattress aren't specifically special to this mattress. We found that there are other options, like the Layla Hybrid Mattress, exceed the Northern Nights mattress in those aspects and even go above and beyond for a very comparable price.

Avoid Northern Nights Mattress if

• You would like a mattress trial period - Northern Nights mattresses are not available for trial through QVC, which sells them.
• You like hard mattresses - In our tests we found that Northern Nights Mattress is a bit softer than expected from a hybrid mattress.
• You prefer light weight mattresses - It is a two persons job to get the mattress out of its box and it is somehow heavy while changing sheets.
• You are a hot sleeper - Not all Northern Nights models have the same air flow and cooling qualities. If you are a hot sleeper then you should only consider the Northern Nights Dream model. It gives excellent support with a layer of gel-infused foam that keeps consistent airflow and reduces heat considerably
• You want the best value for your money - We found that the Northern Nights mattress is far from being the best value for your money. We found the Layla Hybrid Mattress to be a very comparable hybrid mattress that offers so much more for a similar price, making it so much worth your money.

Our Experience With The Northern Nights Mattress

We decided to test the 13.5" Dual Coil Hybrid Northern Light Mattress for its comfort, firmness, cooling, support to give you a clear and in-depth insight about all its characteristics so you could decide if it is the right mattress for you or not, and here what we found:

Firmness, Feel and Comfort for Northern Nights Mattress

Though Northern Nights mattress is advertised for as a "medium-firm" mattress, but we found that it is somehow softer than what to be considered "medium".

The 13.5" Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress had a feeling of a slight sinking in rather that floating on the top that you experience from an innerspring mattress. The combination between the innerspring and foam provides the sleeper with a softer -and to our taste- a more comfortable night's sleep.

The double coil model has special layers like five-zone convoluted foam and Serene foam that contours to your body. It also aids in the reduction of pressure points. This mattress received a 4.5/10 on the firmness scale, indicating that it is a "medium-soft" mattress. This what makes this mattress suitable mostly for lightweight.

Pain Relief For Northern Nights Mattress

If you suffer from pain, you should look for a mattress that relieves pressure at sensitive pressure points such as the hips, shoulders, and lower back.

Soft mattresses, like the Northern Nights Mattress, really steal the show when it comes to pressure relief for lightweight sleepers. They allow side sleepers to sink in a little deeper, relieving pressure on the shoulders and hips. However, if you're a back/stomach sleeper or a medium-to-heavy person, we suggest that you definitely look elsewhere.

While lying on your back, one will feel the soft top layer of latex foam filling in the area in the lumbar region. This mattress gives the feeling of being "sunk" in the bed. Many people do not like this feeling as they describe it as "being stuck in bed". We also found it to feel somewhat uncomfortable and especially not breathable as we'd like.

With that being said, it is not ideal for stomach or back sleepers. Hip support is lacking in this bed for stomach sleepers, which can make their lower back pain worse. Furthermore, when people sink into a soft mattress, they may have more difficulty moving around and changing positions at night. They may also complain about sleeping hot because a large portion of their body is not exposed to the bedroom air.

As we recommend the Layla Hybrid to be much better alternative than the Northern Nights mattress, it's worthwhile to mention that Layla's option offers a dual-side firmness feature, making it absolutely perfect for any types of sleepers, unlike the Northern Nights Mattress.

Motion Transfer For Northern Nights Mattress

Whether you sleep in a couple or on your own, motion transfer is an important feature in any mattress, especially if you are a light sleeper or suffer from insomnia and are irritated by even the slightest movement while sleeping, even if it is your own.

In this section of our review, we tested the Northern Nights Mattress for motion transfer by dropping a 10 pound steel ball on it. The ball was dropped from heights of 4 inches, 8 inches, and 12 inches, and the disturbance it caused was measured: the larger the lines, the greater the disturbance.

We found that the Northern Nights mattress provide excellent motion isolation.

When compared to a traditional spring unit, the 789 individually pocketed coils provide support and reduce motion transfer. You're unlikely to notice if your partner tosses and turns.

Sex Performance For Northern Nights Mattress

The best mattresses for couples should be a bit soft yet gives some bounce and responsiveness along with some motion isolation to facilitate effortless movement during sex.

Unfortunately, this is totally not the case for the Northern Nights Mattress. We found that the extra-plush feel of this mattress completely takes away from any bouncy feeling that you'd benefit from in this department.

Comparing it to the Layla Hybrid, it falls short, as Layla's offering has dual-firmness which can allow you to make your bed plush or extra bouncy for some bedroom fun in minutes. Making it a much better option.

Cooling For Northern Nights Mattress

We would give the Northern Nights mattress a grade 6/10 for cooling. Though it is a hybrid mattress and the separate coils should give a well air flow, but the extra-soft top makes the body sink somehow inside the bed, leading to less body air exposure during sleeping.

If you are a heavy weight, stomach sleeper then this mattress may not be for you as your body will get heated during sleeping.

Overall, the Northern Nights mattress had very subpar cooling performance. If you're someone who prefers a breathable night's sleep, completely stay away from this mattress.

Edge Support For Northern Nights Mattress

The level of stability you'll experience while sitting or resting on the edge of your bed is known as edge support. We simply laid down on the side of the bed to test it out.

We found the edge support for the Dual Coil Hybrid Northern Nights mattress of medium quality. As we sat on the edge of the mattress you felt that it's a bit too soft.

This is was expected as we found many reports of people falling off this mattress during sleep due to its mediocre edge support. So if you want a stronger edge, we would suggest considering to one of the top rated hybrid mattress with proper edge support such as the amazing Layla Hybrid or the Amerisleep AS3.

Northern Nights Company Policy

Northern Nights offers a 10 year limited warranty on the Northern Nights Hybrid Mattress. However, no trial is available for this mattress.

This is a huge red flag. Usually proper mattress brands offer generous trial periods that speak about their trust in their products.

For this reason alone we would advice looking elsewhere in a brand like Layla or Amerisleep that have better offerings for hybrid mattresses. Both of which have mind-boggling (and tested) warranty & trial periods backed up by thousands of satisfied buyers (including us).

Mattress Brand Policies and Customer Benefits

• Ships compressed in a compact box and expands to full size upon opening
• 10-year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty, plus 10 years of extended coverage; 20 years total
• Assembled in the USA

In a Nutshell - Northern Nights Hybrid Mattress

Overall, we found that the Northern Nights Hybrid Mattress doesn't offer anything to write home about.

This mattress tries to provide a good hybrid mattress sleeping experience at a good price, however, we found that it fails to achieve that.

Fortunately, we found that it there are much better hybrid mattress options, such as the award-winning Layla Hybrid Mattress & the Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid Mattress. Both of which offer a night-and-day difference when compared to the Northern Nights Mattress.

We suggest you that if you're buying this mattress as a couple, then go with the amazing Layla Hybrid, as it features a dual-firmness sides & resilient build quality made to last for decades. Read more about our review for the Layla Hybrid here.

And if you're looking for a one-size-fits-all mattress that's extremely luxurious and sleek, then go for the Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid Mattress. Check our review of the AS3 here.

You can't go wrong with both mattresses, and both will provide a much better experience than the Northern Nights Mattress at a minimal price difference. But from our testing, we honestly couldn't justify going for the Northern Nights at all. If you were already considering the Northern Nights, we think that you're already getting a much better deal going with those options.
