- You sit on the edge often.

How it actually performs
What this score means
How we reached it
- Foam layers cushion shoulders and hips.
- Firmness and material details help shoppers avoid one-feel mismatch.
- Foam contour can feel too close for some hot sleepers.
Pressure testing showed 1.86–1.94 inches of sinkage through 4.04 inches of comfort material on an 11.08-inch profile. Long-term owners generally support its contouring comfort, although the selected firmness determines how deeply the shoulders and hips settle.
- Medium-firm and firm choices help back sleepers.
- Foam core gives a stable flat surface.
- Higher-weight stomach sleepers should compare stronger hybrids.
Support checks showed the 11-inch memory foam keeping average-weight sleepers more level than heavier stomach sleepers. The Soft, Medium, and Firm options broaden the fit range, while higher-weight stomach sleepers may still need coil-supported lift.
- No coil bounce.
- Memory foam absorbs small partner movement.
- Large movements can still travel through a thinner mattress.
Motion-transfer testing measured 2.63–2.73 m/s², with movement settling in 0.42–0.44 seconds. The foam comfort system absorbed movement before it spread across the bed, matching the shared-bed advantage many shoppers expect from memory foam.
Movement reaching the other side
A fixed 12 lb load creates the impact while an accelerometer records the movement that crosses the mattress.
- The surface reached 84.57–88.03°F before cooling by 9.02–9.38°F over the next five minutes.
- Hot sleepers who want airflow through the mattress should still compare hybrids or latex.
Cooling checks were strong for a foam mattress: the surface reached 84.57–88.03°F and fell to 75.56–78.64°F over the next five minutes. Bedding and room temperature still matter for sleepers who run especially hot.
- Seated edge compression measured 4.21–4.39 inches.
- Lying near the edge remained stable.
- Sitting at the edge compresses more than on reinforced hybrids.
Edge-compression checks measured 4.21–4.39 inches while seated, while lying near the edge remained stable. The perimeter preserves useful sleeping width, though it still has more seated give than a reinforced hybrid.
Support at the mattress perimeter
We measure seated compression, then check how secure the surface remains while lying directly along the edge.
- No springy pushback.
- Firm options are easier to move on.
- Deep foam hug can feel restrictive.
The surface mostly recovered in 0.49–0.51 seconds and fully recovered in 0.99–1.03 seconds, with 6.82–7.10 inches of total bounce. That is slower and less springy than a hybrid, but still manageable for most repositioning. The Soft version creates more hug and may feel more restrictive.
- The mattress uses an 11-inch, multi-layer foam construction.
- Long-term softening is the main foam risk.
The 11-inch all-foam construction is simple and substantial. A strong initial odor cleared in about 4.05 days. Long-term owner reports include both sustained comfort and body impressions or support loss; higher body weight and a softer firmness can accelerate foam wear.

What the claims mean in practice
Three firmness choices
Supported with caveatsNovosbed offers Soft, Medium, and Firm versions of the mattress.
The three firmnesses broaden the fit range for side, back, and stomach sleepers who already like memory foam.
Match the firmness to body weight and sleep position rather than treating one option as universally suitable.
Support and fit
Supported with caveatsNovosbed presents its layered foam core as supportive across the three firmnesses.
Support scored 8/10, though higher-weight stomach sleepers may still need coil-supported lift.
Choose Soft, Medium, or Firm around body weight and position, not brand name alone.
Cooling
Supported with caveatsNovosbed highlights breathable materials in its all-foam build.
Cooling scored 7.2/10, which is good for foam but limited for hot sleepers.
Frequent overheating calls for a mattress with more open airflow, such as a hybrid or latex design.
Trial and return terms

The return policy includes a 21-night minimum tryout before return, and refund logistics can depend on location and purchase channel.

Construction & materials
Washable coverStretch fabric cover · Top
The removable stretch cover can be washed to keep the sleep surface cleaner. As the surface textile, it chiefly affects the initial hand feel, moisture movement, and how readily heat leaves the sleeper; it supplies little of the mattress's deep support.
Why it matters: Across the Novosbed Mattress, cooling was assessed at 8.5/10 (Strong). Treat the cover as one part of thermal comfort rather than proof that the mattress will stay cool for every sleeper.
Memory-foam comfortMemory foam · Top
The comfort foam creates the close contour and motion isolation that define the mattress. 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: For the Novosbed Mattress as a whole, pressure relief was assessed at 8.5/10 (Strong). 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 foamPolyfoam · Middle
The transition layer helps separate the memory-foam feel from the support core. This layer buffers the sleeper from the firmer support core and controls how gradually resistance increases as the body sinks deeper.
Why it matters: In the finished Novosbed Mattress, medium-firm and firm choices help back sleepers. It becomes especially important for higher-weight sleepers and back or stomach sleepers, who engage more of the mattress depth than lighter sleepers.
Support coreHigh-density support foam · Base
The support core provides the main structure for the 11-inch all-foam profile. 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 Novosbed Mattress, the mattress uses an 11-inch, multi-layer foam construction. Its thickness and material quality are more relevant to long-term shape retention and bottoming-out resistance than to surface softness.
