Pros & Cons

The mattress is recommended for sleepers, who

  • Prefer sleeping cool
  • Prefer sleeping on their sides
  • Enjoy the quintessential “hugging” sensation

Not so ideal for sleepers, who

  • Would like to sleep on a very soft or very firm mattress
  • Want sturdy edge support

Firmness

Firmness is a subjective matter. It describes how soft or hard a bed can feel. To some, a particular bed may feel soft, while it may feel firm to others. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

The Layla Memory Foam offers two different firmness levels on two sides of the mattress. The mattress being flippable, sleepers can enjoy both the soft and firm side of the mattress as and when required. The softer side of the mattress gives a hugging memory foam feeling when you lie down, while the firmer side offers a bounce and responsive feeling provided by the high-density polyfoam. Copper-infused foam offers a firm response to increased pressure, thus enabling the mattress to give a soft and hugging feel. It also provides sufficient support around the areas that compress deeply and need the most.

Material & Construction

The Layla Memory Foam is a mattress that can be flipped and comes with a color code which makes it easy to understand which side is soft and which is firm. It is constructed using copper-gel memory foam (3.5 pounds density / 12 pounds Indentation Load Deflection (ILD)), airflow foam (1.65 pounds density / 30 pounds ILD – Tri-zoned SMT Polyurethane) and base foam (1.5 pounds density / 35 pounds ILD Polyurethane). The cover is made of 63% polyester, 26% rayon, 6% viscose, and 5% poly/lycra.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

  • Layer 1: There is a soft cover on both sides of the mattress infused with Thermogel to dissipate heat and keep the mattress cool.
  • Layer 2: Being a flippable mattress, the Layla Memory Foam features comfort layers on both sides. The soft side comes with copper-infused memory foam and convoluted support foam layers to allow for more airflow and comfort. The firm side of the mattress also comes with copper-infused memory foam but without any convoluted support foam layers.
  • Layer 3:  This layer is found in between the two comfort layers of the mattress. This layer is thick and durable.

Repositioning

(4.00/5)

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. All-foam mattress conforms very closely to the sleeper’s body, thus making it difficult for them to change positions quickly and with ease. The Layla Memory Foam mattress sinks deep when sleeping on the softer side as memory foam has a slow response time, implying the softer side offers some resistance in mobility. The firmer side, on the other hand prevents from sinking too much and makes moving across the bed easier.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.00/5)

Buying a mattress becomes difficult with the wide variety of options available in the market. The right mattress can help you have a good night’s sleep and give you relief from pain, upon waking up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

The Layla Memory Foam mattress is good at providing pressure relief. The soft side of the mattress presents ample cushioning and hugs the body. This side is more pressure relieving and will provide you support and comfort at the same time. The firm side of the bed will offer more support and prevents the body from sinking in. The copper-infused memory foam, convoluted support layer, and gel-infused cover on both sides of the mattress perform together to make the mattress cooler.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

  • Back sleepers: The soft side of the mattress fails to provide the required support needed to keep the spine properly aligned, but the firm side gives enough support for average-weight back sleepers, ascertaining good spine alignment and helping to ease back pain.
  • Side Sleepers:Layla Memory Foam accommodates all side sleepers across different body weights. Lightweight and average-weight side sleepers will enjoy the softer side of the mattress that would offer good pressure relief for those suffering from knee and joint pain. Heavyweight side sleepers will get the necessary support sleeping on the firmer side of the mattress.
  • Stomach sleepers: Lightweight stomach sleepers will find the necessary support while sleeping on the softer side, whereas average-weight and heavyweight stomach sleepers will find the firmer side comfortable as it would offer support in the hips and neck and also keep the spine aligned.
  • Heavy sleepers: The Layla Memory Foam is not very good with heavyweight sleepers while sleeping on the softer side but may get some comfort lying on the firmer side. People weighing over 230 pounds should look for other firm options like the hybrid model from Layla.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with sound motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus helping partners sleep peacefully.

Since it is an all-foam mattress, the Layla Memory foam mattress performs exceptionally well in absorbing motion transfer. This means that you can sleep peaceful without being disturbed by the movements of your partner. This bed ranks as one of the best beds for couples.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(3.75/5)

The most critical condition that determines the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. All-foam mattresses are known to retain heat and make sleepers feel stuck in their bed, but Layla introduces several advanced cooling features to make hot sleepers comfortable. The thermogel cover not only gives the bed a cool-to-touch feel but its cooling features get activated as the body temperature of the sleeper changes throughout the night. Further, the copper infusion on either side of the bed helps keep the bed cool and fight the buildup of bacteria, thus keeping you fresh all night and enabling a peaceful sleep. The copper particles are extremely conductive, which carries away the heat faster from your body resulting in sleeping cool.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with sound motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus helping partners sleep peacefully.

Since it is an all-foam mattress, the Layla Memory foam mattress performs exceptionally well in absorbing motion transfer. This means that you can sleep peaceful without being disturbed by the movements of your partner. This bed ranks as one of the best beds for couples.

Edge Support

(3.75/5)

Edge support is the amount of support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an important consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

The firmer side of the mattress offers better edge support as compared to the softer side due to the presence of high-density polyfoam. The softer side may somewhat sink in when one is sitting near the edges. Light and average-weight sleepers can use the full bed while lying on the firmer side as the perimeter is strong enough to support sleeping near the edges.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Good sleep is crucial to living a healthy life. Each one of us has different sleeping styles and specific needs for comfort and support; thus, choosing the right mattress may be difficult. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 people suffers from insomnia, leading to different health problems. The Layla Memory Foam mattress is designed keeping in mind the need of both preferring to sleep on a soft and firm mattress.

Below is a detailed description of how Layla Memory Foam is a good fit for different sleep positions.

  • Side Sleepers: Average to lightweight side sleepers shall find the soft side of this mattress most comfortable. The plush memory foam allows the shoulder and hip areas to sink into the mattress and enjoy comfort. For heavyweight sleepers, the firm side shall work fine as well as the bodyweight would allow the foam to contour as per the pressure points.
  • Back Sleepers: The soft side of the mattress comes with a medium-soft feel. This makes this side of the mattress ideal for average-weight back sleepers who shall find enough lumbar support while sleeping. Heavyweight back sleepers, however, may find the film version better.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Support is most important for stomach sleepers as too much pressure on the spine may cause it to bend uncomfortably. Lightweight stomach sleepers may find some support on the softer side. Average to heavyweight sleepers should opt for the firm variant to enjoy maximum benefits.
  • Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. The Layla Memory Foam offering two firmness options makes it an excellent bed for combination sleepers. The responsiveness of the mattress aids ease of changing sides, particularly on the firmer side of the mattress. Those enjoying a soft memory foam feel will enjoy the softer side.
