What supports this
Watch-outs
Quick verdict
- You sleep primarily on your stomach.
- You weigh over 230 lb and need firm hip support.
- You need strong cooling or an especially stable edge.
- You prefer quick, spring-forward repositioning.
Choose this model if you are a lighter side sleeper or couple who prioritizes motion isolation over buoyancy and firm edges. Skip it if you sleep on your stomach, weigh over 230 lb, sleep very hot, or need a stable transfer edge. QVC's warranty language is useful, but verify the current return window and whether a delivery/setup service is included before ordering.
How it actually performs
What this score means
How we reached it
- Lighter side sleepers received useful shoulder and hip cushioning.
- Higher-weight sleepers may compress through the shallow comfort layers.
Multi-position checks found useful shoulder and hip cushioning for lighter side sleepers from the soft quilt and foam layers. Higher-weight sleepers compressed through those relatively shallow comfort layers more fully and reached firmer resistance sooner.
- Lighter side sleepers can remain aligned through the shoulder and hip.
- Back, stomach, and higher-weight sleepers have a narrower fit.
Back- and stomach-sleeping checks found substantial pelvis sink through the soft 4.5/10 surface despite the zoned coil support. Lighter side sleepers had the clearest alignment fit, while higher-weight and stomach sleepers needed firmer hip resistance.
- Drop tests and partner observations showed little transferred motion.
Weight-drop and partner-movement checks showed little disturbance away from the impact area. The quilt foams and two individually wrapped coil systems absorbed movement in stages, which kept ordinary nighttime motion well controlled.
- Two coil units create substantial open space.
- The soft top retained noticeable contact heat.
Hands-on cooling checks found noticeable warmth where the body settled into the plush top. The two open coil units provide substantial internal airflow, but deep foam contact reduces the amount of skin exposed to that cooling path.
- Lying support remains usable for lighter sleepers.
- Sitting created pronounced compression.
Seated edge checks produced pronounced compression through the plush quilting and foam before the perimeter coils fully engaged. Lying near the side remained usable for lighter sleepers, but the border was not stable enough for frequent transfers.
- The mattress is not a solid all-foam core.
- Testers described a stuck-in-bed sensation.
Repositioning checks found that the soft quilting and deep contour muted the rebound from the two coil systems. Testers described a stuck-in-bed sensation during turns, making the surface less suitable for people who change positions frequently.
- The 13.5-inch construction uses two pocketed-coil layers totaling 992 coils.
- The soft quilt and comfort foams are the most likely areas to develop impressions.
The current official QVC listing specifies 992 individually wrapped coils across the 4-inch and 8-inch spring units, giving the 13.5-inch mattress a substantial load-distribution system. The soft quilt and comfort foams remain the most likely areas to soften before the dual-coil core.

What the claims mean in practice
Coil count
SupportedThe dual system contains 992 individually wrapped coils.
The current product-specific specification consistently gives 992, resolving the old article's 789 reference.
Construction details now match the current retailer record.
Motion isolation
SupportedIndividually wrapped coils are intended to reduce partner disturbance.
Hands-on impact and partner checks found very little transferred movement.
Motion control is the mattress's clearest couples advantage.
Cooling
MixedCooling fibers and gel foam are intended to move heat away.
Deep sink created noticeable contact warmth despite coil airflow.
Very hot sleepers should not assume cooling materials guarantee a cool feel.

Configuration researched13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid · Queen · Soft 4.5/10
Construction & materials
Zoned quilted coverPerformance knit with cooling fibers and tighter center-third stitching · Top
Creates the plush contact surface and adds a lumbar zone. This quilted surface supplies the first stage of cushioning before the sleeper reaches the foam or spring layers below, while its fibers can also influence moisture and surface airflow.
Why it matters: Across the Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress, pressure relief was assessed at 7.5/10 (Good). A thicker quilt can soften initial contact, but deeper pressure relief and alignment still depend on the complete comfort and support stack.
Super-soft quilting foamPolyurethane foam · Comfort
Produces most of the initial softness. This quilted surface supplies the first stage of cushioning before the sleeper reaches the foam or spring layers below, while its fibers can also influence moisture and surface airflow.
Why it matters: For the Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress as a whole, pressure relief was assessed at 7.5/10 (Good). A thicker quilt can soften initial contact, but deeper pressure relief and alignment still depend on the complete comfort and support stack.
Gel memory foamGel-infused viscoelastic foam with center-third lumbar zoning · Comfort
0.5 inch
Adds contour and localized lumbar resistance. Memory foam conforms under sustained load, spreading pressure over a larger contact area. Its thickness and position influence contour depth and how quickly the sleeper reaches firmer layers below.
Why it matters: In the finished Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress, pressure relief was assessed at 7.5/10 (Good). This is one of the layers most responsible for shoulder and hip cushioning; sleepers who dislike a close contour should compare it with the mattress’s recorded sinkage and recovery.
Transition foamHigh-density polyurethane foam · Transition
0.625 inch
Separates the comfort surface from the first coil unit. This layer buffers the sleeper from the firmer support core and controls how gradually resistance increases as the body sinks deeper.
Why it matters: Across the Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress, lighter side sleepers can remain aligned through the shoulder and hip. It becomes especially important for higher-weight sleepers and back or stomach sleepers, who engage more of the mattress depth than lighter sleepers.
Pocketed cloud coilsIndividually wrapped steel springs · Core
4 inches
Adds contour, motion separation, and response. This is the mattress’s main load-bearing spring unit. Pocketed coils, when used here, compress more locally than connected springs while leaving open space for airflow and rebound.
Why it matters: For the Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress as a whole, lighter side sleepers can remain aligned through the shoulder and hip. This layer supplies most of the deep pushback for alignment, but the foams or fibers above it still determine initial pressure relief and contour.
Zoned perimeter coil unitIndividually wrapped steel springs · Core
8 inches
Supplies primary support and edge resistance; both coil units total 992 coils in the current specification. This reinforcement is intended to resist perimeter compression, helping the outer sleeping surface remain usable when someone sits or lies near the side.
Why it matters: In the finished Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress, lying support remains usable for lighter sleepers. The meaningful check is the finished mattress’s seated compression and lying stability, not the presence of an edge-support label by itself.
Densified base foamPolyurethane foam · Base
0.375 inch
Stabilizes the lower coil unit. This foundation resists deep compression and keeps the comfort layers working on a stable plane; it is not intended to provide the mattress’s initial plushness.
Why it matters: Across the Northern Nights 13.5-inch Dual Coil Hybrid Mattress, the 13.5-inch construction uses two pocketed-coil layers totaling 992 coils. Its thickness and material quality are more relevant to long-term shape retention and bottoming-out resistance than to surface softness.
