• Weight: The Wolf 14" Pillow Top Mattress's considerable weight, totaling 98 lbs, is one drawback. This may pose a challenge during setup or if you need to move the mattress frequently, requiring additional effort and assistance.

Who do we recommend the Wolf PillowTop Mattress for?

• Hot Sleepers: The mattress is a great option for people who tend to sleep hot because of its breathable construction and creative design, which help regulate temperature and promote airflow.

• Couples: The mattress's minimal motion transfer ensures that movements on one side of the bed don't affect the other, allowing both partners to get uninterrupted sleep all night.

Unboxing the Wolf PillowTop Mattress

The mattress arrived compressed and rolled in a box. Due to the mattress's heavy weight and slightly heavy layers, two people were required to carry the box to the bedroom and unpack it.

Once we laid out the mattress, it quickly expanded and regained its original shape, taking 48 hours to fully expand with good corner expansion.

Off-gassing is a very common issue in most compressed mattresses, and new mattresses emit a harmful odor. However, we were pleased to find that any initial off-gassing was harmless and dissipated quickly with proper ventilation. Overall, the process was remarkably simple and hassle-free.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For the Wolf PillowTop Mattress

Wolf Pillow Top Mattress Firmness

The firmness of your mattress will depend on your body weight and preferred sleeping position, so it's important to select one that meets your needs.

With a plush feel and a firmness rating of 3/10, the Wolf PillowTop is a good choice for a variety of sleeping positions but specifically intended for side sleepers and combination sleepers because of its plushiness, which will properly align your spine and contour pressure points like your hips and shoulders.

Wolf Pillow Top Mattress Feel

The Wolf PillowTop mattress provides a genuinely comfortable experience. Its soft, inviting fabric is ideal for lounging against the skin because it feels warm and inviting. You'll notice that it has the ideal amount of support and cushioning when sleeping on your side, making it easy for you to unwind and relax.

This mattress conforms to the natural curves of your body to envelop you in comfort and promote restful, deep sleep all night long. The Wolf PillowTop mattress offers a cloud-like embrace that guarantees a genuinely reviving sleep experience, whether one is sleeping or just lounging.

Wolf PillowTop Mattress Comfort

When it comes to mattresses, the needs of side, back, and stomach sleepers vary. For back sleepers, a medium-firm mattress is usually necessary to maintain proper spinal alignment.

However, stomach sleepers require a firm mattress to prevent sinking too far into it, which can strain their lower backs. Because it reduces pressure points on the hips and shoulders, a softer mattress that fits the body better is essential for side sleepers.

We tested the Wolf Pillow Top with a group of reviewers of different body weights and preferred sleeping positions to determine its comfort level, and we found that side sleepers and lightweight back sleepers would find it ideal for their needs. Its gentle contouring cradles your body and relieves pressure points in your hips, lower back, and shoulders.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Wolf 14-inch Memory Foam Hybrid Plush Pillow Top Mattress and its materials are crafted for ultimate comfort and support. The mattress features a 3-inch plush pillow top that cradles your body, while the cool-to-touch stretch knit cover regulates temperature for restful sleep.

Layers of gel-infused convoluted foam and gel memory foam inside provide conforming comfort and pressure relief, guaranteeing full body support. The 8-inch pocketed coil system, complete with edge support, provides contouring support and minimizes partner disturbance.

Layers

1. Cooling Technology Stretch Knit Cover: This cover utilizes a breathable, stretchy knit fabric to maximize airflow, thereby creating a cooler sleeping surface. The cover incorporates modern cooling technology to wick away moisture and disperse body heat, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout the night.
2. Safeguard Fiber: This layer is made up of specialized fibers intended to increase the mattress's resilience and durability. It acts as a defense barrier, preventing deterioration and assisting in the mattress's long-term integrity and form.
3. Cooling Gel Foam: Infused with cooling gel particles, this foam layer actively controls temperature and prevents heat buildup. The gel infusion creates a more comfortable and cool sleeping environment by removing body heat.
4. Support Layer: Designed to offer strong support, it is crucial for preserving appropriate spinal alignment and avoiding excessive sinking. Your body receives proper support throughout the night, reducing discomfort and promoting deep, rejuvenating sleep.
5. 1" Support Foam: In a well-balanced manner, this foam layer provides comfort and support. It follows your body's natural curves to relieve pressure points and provide a stable base for good sleep posture.
6. 1” Gel memory foam: Well known for its capacity to mold itself to the shape of the body, relieving pressure points and decreasing turning and tossing. This layer's enhanced cooling capabilities due to the gel infusion make for a more cozy and temperature-controlled sleeping environment.
7. 1" High-Density Firm Support: This high-density foam layer strengthens the mattress's structure and provides an additional layer of support, especially in compression-prone areas. It improves the mattress's longevity and resilience while also providing more support where it is most needed.
8. 8" Wrapped Support Coils: The mattress's core consists of independently wrapped coils that adjust to your body's movements to reduce motion transfer and offer focused support. By strengthening the mattress's edges, the perimeter pocketed coil system maximizes the amount of usable sleep surface and keeps the mattress from sagging over time.
9. 1" Stability Base Layer: This mattress's cornerstone provides general support and stability. Serving as a stable base for the layers above encourages uniform weight distribution and prolongs the life of the mattress.

Performance of the Wolf PillowTop Mattress

Cooling

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress has a cool-to-touch stretch knit cover, but it is paired with gel-infused memory foam and an additional layer of gel-infused convoluted foam. This dual-layer approach in the Pillowtop model provides superior cooling by offering enhanced breathability and more effective heat dispersion.

We tested the mattress's cooling capabilities by lying on it for 20 minutes while monitoring heat retention. The mattress stayed comfortable the entire time, with little heat accumulation due to its plushiness.

Our evaluation resulted in a rating of 4.5/5 for the Wolf PillowTop mattress because of its superior cooling and breathability.

Responsiveness

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress features a plush pillow top layer, gel-infused memory foam, and an 8" pocketed coil system. This combination ensures a slightly more cushioned feel while still maintaining quick responsiveness, thanks to the pocketed coils, which independently adjust to movement.

We tested the Wolf PillowTop mattress's responsiveness by placing a 20-pound ball on it, taking it off, and timing how quickly the mattress recovered back into its original shape. It recovered averagely quickly, taking 1.4 seconds to recover.

We gave the Wolf PillowTop's responsiveness a 4/5.

Motion Isolation

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress, with its additional layers of gel-infused memory foam and plush pillow top, enhances motion isolation even further by providing extra cushioning that dampens motion transfer. The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress may have a slight advantage due to its additional foam layers, making it an ideal choice for those prioritizing minimal partner disturbance during sleep.

We dropped a 20-pound ball on one side of the mattress and placed a half-full glass of water on the other to test for motion isolation. The water in the glass barely stirred when the 20-pound ball struck the mattress. The mattress absorbed most of the ball's impact.

Another test we conducted involved having a reviewer lie on one side of the mattress, while another reviewer performed typical sleep movements, such as getting in and out of bed. We then collected reports from the reviewer, who was lying still, asking if they felt any motion. The reviewer reported only minimal motion, indicating great motion isolation; if you are in deep sleep, it probably won't disturb you.

We gave the Wolf PillowTop mattress's responsiveness a solid 4.5/5.

Edge Support

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress includes an 8" pocketed coil system with reinforced edge support, but the addition of the plush pillow top and multiple foam layers might offer a slightly softer feel at the edges while still maintaining structural integrity.

We carried out two tests to assess the edge support of the Wolf PillowTop mattress. Firstly, we applied significant pressure to the mattress's edges, monitoring its support and its ability to return to its original shape upon release. Upon releasing the pressure, the mattress gradually reverted to its initial shape, indicating strong edge support.

Second, we looked for any sinking when seated on the mattress's edge. Given the nature of mattresses, we expected some indentation, but we only observed very little sinking. We attributed this to the side-edge support coils' efficacy in preventing excessive sinkage and providing sufficient support.

The Wolf PillowTop mattress receives a rating of 4/5.

Noise

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress, featuring gel-infused memory foam and an 8" pocketed coil system, further enhances noise reduction due to the additional cushioning from its plush pillow top and multiple foam layers, which dampen any potential sound. The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress offers a slight edge in noise reduction due to its extra layers of foam.

For our test, we used sensitive microphones to listen for any noises when placing a 20-pound ball on top of the Wolf PillowTop mattress. Thankfully, we didn't hear any squeaks or other annoying noises. The Wolf PillowTop mattress is a great option for light sleepers and couples because of its incredibly low noise level.

Its noise level was an impressive 5/5, which means that people who are sensitive to noise can use it.

Sex

Important considerations when choosing a mattress for sexual activities include edge support, cooling, bounce, and noise level. In all of these areas, the Wolf PillowTop mattress excels. It provides couples with a good balance of responsiveness and motion isolation. It lets you move freely without feeling constrained or overheated, thanks to its fun bounce and cooling qualities.

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress, on the other hand, features a plush pillow top and multiple layers of gel-infused memory foam, offering a softer, more cushioned surface. While it still has the 8" pocketed coil system for support and bounce, the additional foam layers may slightly reduce the bounce compared to the Hybrid model. However, these layers also provide excellent traction and comfort, making it conducive to various activities.

The Wolf Hybrid mattress offers more bounce, and the Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress provides a softer, more comfortable feel. The choice between the two will depend on personal preferences for firmness and responsiveness.

The Wolf PillowTop mattress, with a 4/5 rating on our sex performance test, is a good option for couples looking for a noiseless mattress and good motion isolation for a peaceful and quiet sleep.

Pressure Relief

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress provides enhanced pressure relief thanks to its additional layers of gel-infused memory foam and plush pillow top. These layers conform more closely to the body's contours, providing a softer and more cushioning feel that can significantly alleviate pressure points. Gel-infused foam and memory foam combine to cradle the body, providing targeted support where it's most needed.

Using our pressure map test, we evaluated the 14" Pillowtop mattress's capacity to release pressure. For 20 minutes, our reviewer was required to lie on the mattress while we took pressure readings at various body locations.

The pressure map below shows the results of the pressure relief test.

The blue area on the map indicates how plush the mattress is, making it an excellent choice for side sleepers as it relieves pressure points on the shoulders and hips while you sleep.

If you sleep on your stomach, you shouldn't be looking for a mattress that isn't firm enough to support stomach sleepers, as the yellow on the map suggests. However, those who sleep primarily on their backs should look for a slightly firmer mattress.

The Wolf 14" Pillowtop mattress is a good option for side and back sleepers who weigh less, but it's not the best option for stomach sleepers, receiving a total score of 4.4/5 on our pressure relief test.
