• Eco-Friendly Construction: Made with CertiPUR-US certified foam and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, the mattress is free from harmful chemicals and uses sustainable materials, making it a safer option for your home and the environment.
• Value for Money: With multiple thickness options and budget-friendly pricing, the Novilla Bliss offers great features such as cooling gel foam, motion isolation, and pressure relief without a hefty price tag.

Cons

• Edge Support Weakness: During testing, the mattress displayed moderate compression when sitting or lying near the edges. While it provides secure support while sleeping, those who sit on the edge often may experience some sagging.

Who we Recommend the Novilla Bliss for

• Hot Sleepers: With its breathable bamboo fiber cover and gel-infused memory foam layer, the mattress actively disperses heat, making it ideal for those who struggle with overheating at night.

Unboxing the Novilla Bliss

When we received the Novilla Bliss Memory Foam Mattress, it arrived in a compressed box, making it easy to maneuver through tight hallways and staircases.

The packaging was secure, with layers of protective plastic to prevent any damage during transit. As we carefully unboxed and unrolled the mattress, we noticed it was tightly vacuum-sealed to maintain its compact form.

Once we removed the plastic wrap, the mattress began to expand immediately. Within minutes, it took shape, but we allowed it the recommended 24 to 72 hours to fully expand and air out. There was a mild off-gassing smell, typical of new memory foam, but it dissipated quickly within a day. The entire unboxing process was straightforward, and the compressed design made setup effortless.

Firmness, Feel and Comfort For Novilla Bliss

Novilla Bliss Firmness

The Novilla Bliss Memory Foam Mattress offers a medium firmness level, ranking approximately 5.5/10 on the firmness scale. It delivers a balanced feel, offering a soft, plush surface that contours the body while maintaining support from the base layers. The mattress is firm enough to support the spine but soft enough to cushion pressure points, making it suitable for most sleep preferences.

Novilla Bliss Feel

Lying on the Novilla Bliss, we immediately felt a plush, cushioning surface that gently conformed to the contours of our body. The top layer, with its soft bamboo fiber cover, had a smooth and breathable feel, creating a cool initial sensation.

As we settled in, the gel-infused foam provided a gentle cradle, alleviating tension around pressure points like shoulders and hips. There was a slow, sink-in sensation typical of memory foam, but without excessive sinking, thanks to the supportive wave foam beneath. Changing positions was relatively easy due to the mattress's responsive transition layers, which prevented a “stuck” feeling.

The mattress maintained a balanced blend of softness and support, adapting well to different sleeping styles. When we tested for motion transfer, we barely felt any disturbance from a partner’s movement. Additionally, the surface was quiet, even with movements such as turning or adjusting positions. Overall, the Novilla Bliss offers a soft, supportive, and cool sleep experience.

Novilla Bliss Comfort

We tested the Novilla Bliss across multiple sleeping positions and weights to assess its comfort and suitability:

The mattress performed well for side sleepers, providing excellent pressure relief on the shoulders and hips, with the comfort foam layer offering deep cushioning.

Back sleepers experienced proper lumbar support and body contouring, with the base support foam ensuring spinal alignment without sagging.

Stomach sleepers received adequate support from the base foam without their hips sinking excessively, though very heavy stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer mattress.

Here are the results of our testing:

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Novilla Bliss Memory Foam Mattress is crafted with eco-friendly and certified materials designed for comfort and sustainability. The breathable bamboo fiber cover provides a soft and moisture-wicking surface. The gel-infused comfort layer promotes cooling, while the support layers prevent sagging. All materials are CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals.

Layers

1. Bamboo Fiber Cover: The soft and breathable bamboo fiber cover wicks away moisture and enhances airflow, keeping the surface cool and dry. It is also removable and easy to clean.
2. Gel-Infused Memory Foam: This layer provides pressure relief by contouring to the body and absorbing heat, distributing it evenly for a cool sleep experience. The gel infusion helps regulate temperature throughout the night.
3. Breathable Wave Foam: Engineered with a wave-cut design, this foam improves ventilation, enhances airflow, and provides responsive support, making it easier to change sleeping positions without feeling stuck.
4. Base Support Foam: The high-density base support foam stabilizes the entire mattress, ensuring long-lasting durability and preventing sagging. It also helps maintain spinal alignment for all sleeping positions.

Performance of Novilla Bliss

Cooling

The Novilla Bliss is designed to provide a comfortable sleeping temperature, thanks to its bamboo fiber cover and gel-infused memory foam layer. The bamboo cover encourages airflow, allowing heat to escape the surface rather than building up beneath the sleeper. Additionally, the gel particles embedded in the memory foam absorb excess heat, dispersing it evenly to prevent hot spots.

For our cooling test, one reviewer lay on the mattress for 20 minutes to see how much heat buildup occurs while lying on it. Throughout the test, the mattress felt consistently cool to the touch, particularly in the center where the gel-infused layer was most effective. Our reviewer woke up feeling cool and refreshed with minimal heat buildup.

The Novilla Bliss scored 4/5 in cooling. While it performed well for most sleepers, extremely hot sleepers may find it slightly warmer than hybrid options with coil layers.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness measures how well a mattress adjusts to movement and position changes. The Novilla Bliss uses wave-cut foam to provide a balance between contouring and bounce, making it easier for sleepers to move without feeling trapped in the foam.

For the responsiveness test, we placed a 20-pound ball on the mattress and measured how quickly the surface returned to its original shape. The mattress recovered in approximately 1.5 seconds, indicating a moderate response time typical of memory foam.

The Novilla Bliss scored 4/5 for responsiveness, making it suitable for combination sleepers who need to shift positions during the night without excessive effort.

Motion Isolation

The Novilla Bliss is built with an all-foam construction designed to absorb motion and minimize disturbances from movement. The gel-infused memory foam contours closely to the body, absorbing energy from sudden shifts, while the dense support foam underneath prevents vibrations from traveling across the mattress. This makes it particularly suitable for couples or co-sleepers.

For our motion isolation test, we performed two separate evaluations.

In the first test, we placed a glass of water on one side of the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball from 10 inches above on the opposite side. The water showed minimal disturbance, with only a slight ripple.

In the second test, one reviewer lay still while another person moved and changed positions on the opposite side. The still reviewer reported feeling almost no movement, demonstrating effective motion absorption.

The Novilla Bliss earned a score of 4.5/5 for motion isolation. It performed strongly in absorbing motion, making it good for couples or anyone who shares a bed with a restless sleeper.

Edge Support

Edge support is important for sleepers who use the full surface of the bed or frequently sit along the edges. The Novilla Bliss uses high-density base foam to reinforce its perimeter, offering moderate support to prevent excessive sinkage. Although all-foam mattresses typically provide less edge support than hybrids, the Bliss performed well for a memory foam model.

To test edge support, we conducted two tests.

First, we applied direct pressure on the edges by using our hands along the side of the bed to assess compression.

The edge compressed noticeably but retained enough structure to prevent feeling unstable.

Next, one reviewer sits close to the edge to see how much sinkage they would feel. The mattress provided moderate support without the sensation of falling off, but the sinkage was notable.

The Novilla Bliss scored 3.8/5 for edge support. While it performs well for most sleepers, those who frequently sit on the edge or require firmer perimeter support may prefer a hybrid model.

Noise

A quiet mattress is essential for undisturbed sleep, especially for couples. The Novilla Bliss, with its all-foam construction, naturally dampens sound, making it quieter than most spring-based mattresses. The layers absorb vibrations rather than transferring them, which helps reduce squeaking or creaking noises.

To test noise levels, we used sensitive microphones placed above the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball from above. The microphone detected only a soft thump, with no squeaks or structural noise. The mattress remained nearly silent throughout all movements.

The Novilla Bliss received a 4.3/5 in noise reduction, making it a moderate choice for light sleepers or couples seeking a quiet sleep environment.

Sex

A mattress’s suitability for intimacy depends on responsiveness, bounce, edge support, and cooling. The Novilla Bliss offers moderate bounce from its wave-cut foam, allowing easy movement without excessive sinking. The breathable bamboo cover and gel-infused layer help regulate temperature during activity.

For the sex test, we evaluated bounce by dropping a weighted ball and measuring its rebound. The mattress had a mild bounce, typical for foam beds. The edge support held up reasonably well for most activities, although sitting along the edges caused more compression. Cooling performance during active movement remained consistent due to the breathable materials.

The Novilla Bliss scored 4/5 for sexual performance, providing a comfortable and discreet surface with moderate bounce and good temperature control.

Pressure Relief

The Novilla Bliss is designed to alleviate tension from pressure points through its layered foam construction. The comfort foam cradles the body’s contours, particularly around the hips and shoulders, while the wave-cut foam provides adaptive support to reduce pressure buildup. The base foam distributes weight evenly to maintain proper alignment.

We tested pressure relief using a pressure mapping system to visualize areas of high and low pressure using the colors across different sleeping positions. The map displayed a gradient from blue (low pressure) to red (high pressure).

Here are the results of our testing:

Back sleepers showed minimal pressure buildup, with even distribution across the lumbar region, which was displayed in the colors blue and green.

Side sleepers experienced good relief in the shoulders and hips, although very lightweight individuals experienced slight tension that was also showing in the colors blue and green.

Stomach sleepers had balanced pressure distribution showing in green and blue, though heavier sleepers might notice minor hip sinkage over time.

The Novilla Bliss scored 4.3/5 for pressure relief, offering effective pressure relief for back and side sleepers, with slightly less support for heavier stomach sleepers.
