What supports this
Watch-outs
Quick verdict
- You sit or sleep near the edge often.
- You want the pronounced bounce and pushback of a hybrid or latex mattress.
- You are a higher-weight stomach sleeper.
- You are buying a premium long-term primary-bedroom mattress.
Buy the Novilla Bliss if you want an inexpensive foam mattress for side/back sleeping, couples on a budget, or a guest room. Skip it if you need strong edges, coil airflow, a bouncy feel, or a more durable primary-bedroom build.
How it actually performs
What this score means
How we reached it
- The 12-inch version has enough comfort foam for basic shoulder and hip relief.
- Owner reports often praise comfort for the money.
- Testing showed solid pressure relief for a low-priced foam mattress.
- Higher-weight sleepers and strict stomach sleepers should compare firmer support.
Pressure maps showed side-sleeper average/max pressure of 0.186–0.194/1.04–1.08 PSI, back 0.098–0.102/1.04–1.08 PSI, and stomach 0.088–0.092/0.95–0.99 PSI. Sinkage measured 2.60–2.70 inches (Very Deep), with a 5.0-inch comfort layer on an 11.5-inch profile. The deep contouring cushions most side and back sleepers well, while heavier stomach sleepers face more alignment risk.
Pressure readings and distribution
Repeated readings can vary by about 2%, so we report the full measured range instead of a single value.
| Position | Sustained pressure after the tester settles. The range shows the small variation across repeated readings. | The brief highest pressure at first contact. The range shows the small variation across repeated readings. |
|---|---|---|
| Side | 0.186–0.194 PSI | 1.04–1.08 PSI |
| Back | 0.098–0.102 PSI | 1.04–1.08 PSI |
| Stomach | 0.088–0.092 PSI | 0.95–0.99 PSI |
These PSI ranges are measured values. Map colors show where pressure collected, not the PSI of each square.
- High-density support foam gives the mattress a stable base.
- Medium feel can suit back sleepers who do not want a very firm bed.
- Very deep sinkage raises alignment concerns for higher-weight and stomach sleepers.
Sinkage measured 2.60–2.70 inches on an 11.5-inch profile. The foam base can support average-weight side and back sleepers, but deep hip sink gives heavier bodies and stomach sleepers less alignment margin.
- Memory foam absorbs movement instead of amplifying it.
- Reddit owner comments often mention low partner disturbance.
- The measured transfer is not exceptional for memory foam.
Motion-transfer testing scored 7.7/10, with peak-to-peak acceleration of 10.74–11.18 m/s^2. The foam keeps most routine partner movement contained, though larger disturbances remain more noticeable than on the strongest motion-isolation mattresses.
Movement reaching the other side
A fixed 12 lb load creates the impact while an accelerometer records the movement that crosses the mattress.
- Novilla uses a breathable cover and NanoGEL cooling memory foam.
- Testing showed acceptable temperature control for a foam mattress.
- All-foam airflow is inherently more limited than coil support.
Thermal testing scored 8.0/10, while sinkage measured 2.60–2.70 inches. The breathable cover and NanoGEL foam temper surface warmth, while the deep hug and solid foam core limit airflow.
- The high-density base keeps the bed usable for normal centered sleeping.
- Testing showed much deeper edge compression than stronger hybrids.
- Couples using a smaller size may feel the weak perimeter sooner.
Edge-support testing scored 5.8/10; sitting compression measured 5.39–5.61 inches, and lying-edge support was Poor. The perimeter reduces usable width for couples and offers little leverage for people who sit on the side while dressing or standing.
Support at the mattress perimeter
We measure seated compression, then check how secure the surface remains while lying directly along the edge.
- Response mostly recovered in 0.39–0.41 seconds.
- The poly foam layers rebound faster than the memory foam comfort layer.
- Full recovery took 1.57–1.63 seconds.
- Very deep sinkage and 4.42–4.60 inches of bounce can make larger position changes feel harder.
Response timing showed most recovery in 0.39–0.41 seconds and full recovery in 1.57–1.63 seconds. Bounce measured 4.42–4.60 inches and sinkage measured 2.60–2.70 inches, so the mattress responds quickly at first but provides little lift for rolling or getting out of bed.
- The 11.5-inch profile includes a five-inch comfort system.
- A high-density foam base gives the mattress a straightforward support structure.
- The 6.5-inch support section is thinner than stronger all-foam support cores.
- The deeply contouring comfort layers take the most direct compression.
The 11.5-inch measured profile includes five inches of comfort material over a 6.5-inch support section. That substantial contouring layer is the most likely area to soften or develop impressions before the base loses shape.
