Unboxing the Novilla Serenity

The Novilla Serenity 10" Hybrid Mattress arrives compressed in a compact box, making it easy to transport and maneuver into any room. The unboxing process is straightforward, requiring the removal of the outer plastic wrap to allow the mattress to expand.

It quickly begins to take shape, but full expansion requires 48 hours to reach its intended height and firmness level. A mild odor typical of memory foam was noticeable but dissipated within 24-48 hours with proper ventilation. The mattress expanded evenly without visible lumps or defects, and it was lightweight enough to be moved by one person.

The compact packaging and straightforward setup process enhance the overall customer experience. However, those sensitive to off-gassing odors may need to air out the mattress for a day before use.

Novilla Serenity Firmness

The Novilla Serenity offers a medium-firm feel, rated at 6.5/10 on the firmness scale. It strikes a balance between cushioning and support, providing a moderately firm surface with gentle contouring.

The firmness caters to back and stomach sleepers, lightweight sleepers who prefer firmer support, and those seeking a balance of comfort and stability.

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress provides a balanced combination of cushioning and support. Upon lying down, the gel-infused memory foam gently contours to the body, relieving pressure points without excessive sinkage.

The transition from the comfort foam to the supportive pocket coils is smooth, maintaining spinal alignment while preventing the “stuck-in-the-mud” sensation associated with traditional memory foam.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress delivers a balanced, medium-firm feel that caters to a variety of sleep positions and body types.

We conducted comfort tests with a group of reviewers with different weights and sleeping styles.

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress offers balanced comfort suitable for different sleeping positions. Back and stomach sleepers benefit from the medium-firm feel that supports spinal alignment and reduces lower back pain.

Although side sleepers may find it slightly firm, the mattress delivers reliable comfort and support for back, stomach, and combination sleepers, ensuring restful and uninterrupted sleep.

The Novilla Serenity provides firm support for back and stomach sleepers, maintaining spinal alignment and preventing excessive sinkage.

Here are the results of our testing:

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress is constructed with eco-friendly and high-quality materials to deliver balanced comfort, support, and durability. It uses CertiPUR-US certified memory foam and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, ensuring the mattress is free from harmful chemicals and safe for all sleepers.

The hybrid design combines gel-infused memory foam and individually wrapped pocket coils, offering both contouring comfort and responsive support. The breathable bamboo rayon fiber cover enhances airflow, maintaining a cooler sleep environment. The thoughtfully designed layers work together to provide a medium-firm feel with effective motion isolation and edge support, making it suitable for a variety of sleep positions and body types.

Layers

1. Bamboo Rayon Fiber Cover: The top layer features a breathable bamboo rayon fiber cover that is hypoallergenic and soft to the touch. It enhances airflow, maintaining a cooler surface temperature throughout the night. Its moisture-wicking properties keep the mattress fresh and dry, making it suitable for hot sleepers and those with allergies.
2. Cooling Gel-Infused Memory Foam: Beneath the cover is a layer of cooling gel-infused memory foam designed to contour to the body, providing pressure relief and cushioning. The gel infusion actively disperses body heat, preventing heat buildup and maintaining a comfortable sleeping temperature. This layer enhances overall comfort by reducing pressure points on the shoulders and hips.
3. Airflow Comfort Foam: This transition layer is engineered for enhanced breathability and balanced support. It provides a gradual transition from the soft memory foam above to the firmer support of the pocket springs below. Its open-cell structure promotes airflow, preventing heat retention and contributing to a cooler sleep environment.
4. Individual Pocket Springs: The support core consists of individually wrapped pocket springs that provide responsive support and motion isolation. Each coil operates independently, contouring to the body's shape and reducing motion transfer between partners. This design enhances overall stability and prevents disturbances from a partner’s movements.
5. High-Density Base Foam: The base layer of high-density foam reinforces the pocket springs, ensuring structural integrity and durability. It provides stable edge support, preventing sagging and maintaining the mattress's shape over time. This supportive foundation contributes to the medium-firm feel, enhancing spinal alignment and overall comfort.

Performance of Novilla Serenity

Cooling

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress uses a bamboo rayon fiber cover and gel-infused memory foam to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature throughout the night.

During testing, we had a reviewer lie on the mattress for 20 minutes while monitoring how much heat was retained. The breathable bamboo cover effectively dispersed body heat, and the gel-infused memory foam actively drew warmth away from the body. The airflow comfort foam and individually wrapped pocket springs enhanced ventilation, preventing heat buildup and ensuring consistent airflow.

Overall, the mattress performed well in cooling, earning a 4.1/5 rating. It is suitable for average and hot sleepers, although those who tend to overheat significantly may benefit from using breathable bedding for enhanced cooling.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness measures how quickly the mattress adapts to movements, which is crucial for combination sleepers who change positions frequently.

We conducted a ball test using a 20-pound weight, recording how fast the mattress returned to its original shape.

The medium-firm feel provided a subtle bounce, allowing sleepers to switch positions without feeling stuck. The responsive pocket coils contributed to a springy feel, enhancing mobility and ease of movement. The gel memory foam layer conformed to the body but quickly rebounded when pressure was removed, preventing excessive sinkage.

During the test, the mattress responded in just 1 second, delivering a balanced combination of contouring and support.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity showed solid responsiveness, scoring a 4.2/5. Its responsive design makes it suitable for combination sleepers and those who prefer a slightly firmer surface with gentle contouring.

Motion Isolation

To test motion isolation, we performed a water glass test by placing a full glass on one side of the mattress and dropping a 20-pound ball on the other side. The gel-infused memory foam effectively absorbed the impact, causing minimal ripples in the glass, while the individually wrapped pocket springs minimized motion transfer.

In a second test, one reviewer changed positions while another lay still on the opposite side. The mattress effectively isolated movement, preventing disturbances even with significant tossing and turning.

The medium-firm feel contributed to the stability, ensuring minimal partner disturbance.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity performed well in motion isolation, receiving a 4.5/5 rating. It is particularly suitable for couples and light sleepers who are easily disturbed by their partner’s movements during the night.

Edge Support

For edge support, we conducted two tests to evaluate stability along the mattress perimeter. In the first test, we applied direct pressure to the edges with our hands near the border, observing how much the mattress compressed.

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress showed moderate compression, with the high-density base foam providing stability and support. The individually wrapped pocket springs contributed to the firmness, pushing back against pressure and maintaining structural integrity.

In the second test, a reviewer sat directly on the edge for several minutes to simulate daily activities such as getting in and out of bed. The medium-firm surface provided reliable support with minimal sinkage, maintaining balance and preventing the feeling of sliding off the edge along with its reinforced edges that ensure the feeling of stability on the mattress.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress demonstrated consistent edge support, earning a 4.3/5 rating. It maximizes the usable sleeping surface, ensuring a secure and supportive experience even near the edges, although very heavy individuals may experience minor edge compression.

Noise

Noise reduction is essential for light sleepers and couples, and the Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress performed well in this category.

During testing, a 20-pound ball was dropped on the mattress while sensitive microphones measured sound levels. The mattress was almost silent, with no noticeable squeaking or creaking from the pocket springs.

The foam layers absorbed the impact quietly, and the individually wrapped coils minimized friction, preventing noise associated with traditional innerspring mattresses. In real-world use, the mattress remained quiet during movement and position changes, enhancing sleep quality without noise disturbances. The noise reduction capability makes it ideal for couples, light sleepers, and noise-sensitive environments.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity earned a 4.2/5 rating for noise, offering a quiet and peaceful sleeping experience.

Sex

The Novilla Serenity Hybrid Mattress was evaluated for its suitability for intimacy, focusing on bounce, cooling, edge support, and ease of movement. The medium-firm feel, combined with responsive pocket coils, provided a subtle bounce that enhanced mobility and facilitated movement.

The cooling gel-infused memory foam and breathable bamboo cover maintained a comfortable temperature during extended activity. Good edge support offered stability and maximized the usable surface area, preventing excessive sinkage near the perimeter.

The noise reduction feature contributed to discreetness, ensuring a quiet experience without squeaking or creaking. While the gel memory foam provided moderate cushioning, the pocket coils added responsiveness, delivering a balanced combination of comfort and support.

Overall, the mattress scored a 4.3/5 for sex performance, making it suitable for couples seeking a responsive and discreet mattress with moderate bounce and reliable edge support.

Pressure Relief

To evaluate pressure relief, we used a pressure mapping system while our reviewer tested the mattress in back, side, and stomach sleeping positions. The map displayed a gradient from blue (low pressure) to red (high pressure).

Here are the results of our testing:

Back sleepers experienced even weight distribution, with the map showing mostly blue and green zones, indicating minimal pressure buildup on the lower back and shoulders.

Side sleepers experienced moderate contouring showing in blue and green, with slight pressure around the shoulders and hips, but overall, the gel-infused memory foam provided adequate cushioning.

Stomach sleepers benefited from firm lumbar support, maintaining spinal alignment without excessive hip sinkage, which also showed in blue and green. The responsive pocket coils ensured consistent support and prevented pressure points from forming.

The mattress performed greatly for all sleeping positions, especially heavy sleepers.

Overall, the Novilla Serenity delivered reliable pressure relief, earning a 4.3/5 rating. It is particularly suitable for back and stomach sleepers seeking firm support and balanced comfort.
