Firmness

Firmness is a subjective matter. To some, a particular mattress may feel soft, while to others, it may feel firm. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping. Whether a mattress is soft, plush, or firm is purely defined based on personal preferences, choices, and body type.

Molecule 1 is a medium-firm mattress with a firmness scale of 6 in the 1 to 10 industry standard scale of firmness. While lying on the back, an initial feel of sink into the comfort layer might be felt, but the base of the mattress provides sufficient support for good hip and spine alignment. The zoned support gives individuals the required support and relief in the back, hips, and shoulders. The top soft comfort layer and a firmer transition layer, and the base layer beneath give the mattress a softer feel.

Material & Construction

The Molecule 1 is a foam mattress constructed with layers of memory foam and polyfoam, thus making the brand 100% polyurethane foam mattress. The mattress cover is 98% polyester and 2% lycra. The temperature-sensitive surface adjusts according to the body temperature of different sleepers’ thus taking away heat and moisture. The cover is breathable, soft, and very comfortable. The cover is an addition to the overall luxurious feel of the mattress.

The foams used in the construction of the mattress are eco-friendly, which helps to reduce emissions. The mattress is CertiPUR-US certified, implying low VOCs, and the use of heavy metals or harmful chemicals is avoided in the make.

This mattress is designed to aid the body’s recovery after a heavy workout and advocates restful sleep. The mattress is constructed in three different layers using foams of different densities, the detail of which is given below:

  • Layer 1: The comfort layer of the Molecule 1 mattress features 2 inches of the brand’s proprietary memory foam known as the RestoreFlo. This layer has an open-cell structure to allow for greater airflow within the mattress. It is also infused with gel beads to wick away heat.
  • Layer 2: It is a 3-inch thick polyfoam layer with three zoned construction to provide comfort. This foam blend, called RecoveryFlo, is a response layer that gives targeted support and contouring. This layer is softer near the head and feet and firm near the center. The zoned construction provides pressure relief to the sleepers; with proper support in the lumbar region.
  • Layer 3: This layer consists of 7 inches of firm polyfoam that is breathable CountourFlo foam that supports the mattress to offer spinal alignment. This breathable layer also dissipates heat and enables one to sleep cool. This layer is the foundation for the layers above. It helps to retain shape and extends the longevity of the mattress.

Mattress Review and Rating

(3.75/5)

Repositioning

(3.75/5)

Repositioning means that sleepers can change position easily. The Molecule 1, a memory foam mattress, helps relieve pressure but restricts movement. Because of the two-inch comfortable memory foam layer, sleepers sink into the mattress, thus making changing positions harder.

The qualities because of which the Molecule 1 offers excellent motion isolation can also make sleepers feel stuck in the mattress. The foam layer returns to its original shape slowly, and there is minimal bounce to the mattress.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.25/5)

Most of us are unaware that our spine is responsible for most of our movements as it connects all the major muscles responsible for movements. Back pain is a common problem that impacts our daily life and disrupts our sleep. Chronic back pain results in poor sleep, which can be very frustrating as it makes one feel significantly worse during waking hours. Chronic back pain may sometimes be challenging to find a comfortable sleeping position. Thus, it is essential to understand that different sleeping positions require different cushioning, contouring, and mattress firmness levels to avoid worsening back pain.

Molecule 1 is believed to relieve discomfort, thus providing enough back support to those who weigh less than 230 pounds. For the spine to be appropriately aligned, back sleepers need lumbar support. Firm support is provided by the zoned layer of Molecule 1 for the lower back, with the memory foam layer giving pressure relief.

With the zoned construction, one shall feel soft near the shoulders and hips where pressure is created chiefly, while one shall get ample support near the lumbar area. The mattress does not let one sink in uncomfortably and promotes spinal alignment. Thus the Molecule 1 mattress performs excellently in providing pressure relief. The mattress is a great choice for back and side sleepers and those weighing less than 230 pounds. Stomach sleepers more than 230 pounds may sink into the mattress more, thus putting pressure on the lower back.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(3.75/5)

The most critical condition that determines the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is an adequate decrease in the core body temperature. As we sleep, the thermoregulation of our body is not proactive enough, so other factors that can control the temperature of the body can be the products that we use to sleep on becomes essential.

Molecule 1 is designed to dissipate heat and regulate temperature more effectively than other memory foam mattresses. The fabric cover with temperature-sensitive polymer helps to keep away heat and moisture. The gel-infused comfort layers have an open-cell construction that allows for greater airflow. Thus, one does not have to sleep hot and sweaty with the cooling features of the Molecule 1 mattress.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(3.50/5)

The Molecule 1 mattress offers excellent motion isolation. The mattress is at par with other foam mattresses mainly due to its comfort system. The dense foam layers absorb motion transfer and prevent you from feeling any movement when your partner makes position changes. This makes the Molecule 1 mattress a good fit for those who do not wish to get disturbed while sleeping with their partners.

Edge Support

(3.50/5)

The Molecule 1 mattress does not perform as well in providing strong edge support. The foam layers get compressed near the edges when pressure is applied upon. Though the firm polyfoam support core tries to make up for it, some sinkage may be felt while sitting or lying near the edges. The lack of strong edge support is important for those who find it difficult to get in and out of bed.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Each one of us has unique sleeping requirements. The requirements are based on weight, height, sleeping position preference. No matter what position we sleep in, we all need to sleep well so our bodies can heal and rejuvenate. Recovery-focused sleep is essential for those who lead a very active life and are involved in strenuous workouts. Primarily, there are three sleep postures: Side, back, and stomach sleepers. Therefore, all three have different needs and specific experiences regarding the comfort, support, and flexibility that the mattress should offer them. Some are also combination sleepers who like to change positions during sleep.

  • Side Sleepers: The Molecule 1 mattress provides ample cushioning needed in the shoulder and hips, making it a good fit for the side sleepers. The zoned foam layers allow the shoulders and hips to sink in the right amount while keeping the spine aligned. Sleepers weighing between 130-230 pounds shall find the maximum benefits from this mattress.
  • Back Sleepers: The National Sleep Foundation considers back sleeping, with arms at the sides, the ideal position to sleep. This sleeping position helps keep the head and spine in a neutral alignment, which eliminates the pressure that causes aches and pains and allows back muscles to relax. Back sleeping is favorable for people with back pain or tightness. This sleeping position reduces acid reflux by keeping the head above the esophagus to prevent stomach acid from coming up to the digestive tract.
    This mattress is best suited for light and average weighing back sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds. They shall find ample support and cushioning on it. However, back sleepers weighing over 230 pounds may find the Molecule 1 somewhat soft.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Sleeping on the stomach makes it hard for the spine to stay neutral but is suitable for people who snore. People preferring to sleep on their stomachs put more pressure on the mattress, especially around the midsections, so a supportive mattress that prevents the risk of sinking and harming the spines is the best suited.
    Light-weight stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds will receive ample support from this mattress. Its dense foam layers shall prevent the spine from bending uncomfortably while providing comfort at the same time. Those weighing above 130 pounds may not find the Molecule 1 mattress as supportive.
  • Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers need good responsiveness in a mattress. The medium firmness and zoned support of the Molecule 1 make the mattress a good choice for combination sleepers. The mattress provides a good balance between support and pressure, with the zoned support giving extra balance across multiple positions. The quick response time in the comfort layer makes it an ideal choice for combination sleepers. Motion isolation being good in Molecule 1 sleeping with a restless partner can be quite interesting.

Molecule MOLECULE 2 Mattress Review


Product Description

The Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress is an upgrade over the Molecule 1. This mattress features five zoned transition layers, unlike the Molecule 1 mattress with a three zoned transition layer. The zoned layers provide excellent support to different body areas, particularly the most needed areas. It is 12.25 inches in height and rates 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The mattress comes with a breathable, antimicrobial cover which is a blend of polyester and lycra spandex.

Molecule 2 AirTEC has added technological features that makes it costlier than Molecule 1. Though Molecule 1 and Molecule 2 AirTEC scores the same on a firmness scale (6 out of 10), Molecule 2 is slightly firmer as the foam used in construction has more density than that used in Molecule 1. Molecule 2 is different from the flagship model Molecule 1 in several other areas. The open-cell AirTEC foam layer supports more airflow than traditional memory foam, thus securing better temperature regulation. An additional crystal-infused BioCHARGE layer improves circulation. Microban treatment also helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.

  • Want excellent motion isolation
  • Prefer decent pressure point relief

NOT IDEAL if you:

  • Are a heavy back and stomach sleeper
  • Want strong edge support
  • Want old mattress to be taken away and recycled free of cost
  • Are on a tight budget

Firmness

Firmness is a subjective matter. To some, a particular mattress may feel soft, while to others, it may feel firm. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping. Whether a mattress is soft, plush, or firm is purely defined based on personal preferences, choices, and body type.

Molecule 2 AirTEC is a universally appealing, comfortable all-foam mattress designed to suit a variety of sleepers with medium firmness. It scales in the firmness range of 6. The top comfort layer gives a feeling of hugging and molding to the body to relieve pressure points. In contrast, the transition layer beneath is a firmer layer that prevents from sinking into the mattress, thus providing a feel like an envelope. Together with the transition layer, the base gives the mattress a firmer feel, thus providing the right amount of support to the much-needed areas.

Material & Construction

The Molecule 2 AirTEC from top to bottom has several layers, each designed to ascertain comfortable and restorative sleep. It is an all-foam mattress that uses CertiPUR-US certified polyfoam comfort layers, a 5-zone polyfoam transition layer, and a 6-inch support layer. The cover of the mattress is a blend of polyester and lycra spandex. It is designed to promote breathability, thus helping in sleeping cool. The antimicrobial advanced cooling cover keeps one cool while sleeping and prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.

The mattress is constructed with three polyfoam comfort layers using different technologies and a firm polyfoam support core. The three layers are detailed below:

  • Layer 1: The first comfort layer is the Recovery BioCHARGE layer, which is crystal-infused polyfoam to allow for more excellent air circulation. The second layer is the AirTEC layer having an open-cell construction. This layer provides for airflow within the mattress, even after it is compressed.
  • Layer 2: This layer features the RecoveryFlo polyfoam having five zones. This transition layer comes designed with different densities of polyfoam, which supports the various body parts. The zoned layer provides a firm feel near the lumbar area and a softer feel near the head and feet. This layer has been constructed to provide maximum comfort.
  • Layer 3: This is the base layer of the mattress featuring the ContourFLO polyfoam. Low-density polyfoam is used to make this layer. This layer provides support to the mattress.

Mattress Review and Rating

(3.92/5)

Repositioning

(4.00/5)

Repositioning means that sleepers can change position easily. The new AirTEC sleep material foam gives buoyancy and responsiveness like latex while offering greater airflow and high durability. The conforming features of the mattress may provide a feeling of being stuck in the bed, causing switching positions or moving across the bed difficult. It rates below average for sex. Lack of strong edge support also limits the bed’s surface area that the sleepers can use.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.25/5)

Molecule 2 AirTEC is an exceptionally comfortable mattress that provides a balance of comfort and support. The classic memory foam gives a contouring feeling giving away the stuck feel in the mattress. The top comfort layer provides incredible comfort and pressure relief, with the zoned support layer and firm base giving the required firmness and support needed to the critical parts of the body.

Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress with Microban is an excellent option for those suffering from painful muscles, back pain, and neck and shoulder tension. The excellent conforming properties of the Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress make it a great option if one is searching for something that offers good pressure relief. The RecoveryFLO transition layer has a zoned construction that allows the shoulder and hips to sink in just the right amount while the center of the mattress provides lumbar support. The ContourFLO support core also offers support and prevents the spine from bending uncomfortably. The crystal-infused BioCHARGE layer and the open-cell AirTEC polyfoam layer allow for greater airflow within the mattress, thus enabling sleep cool.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(4.00/5)

The most critical condition determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is an adequate decrease in the core body temperature. Molecule 2 is uniquely designed to promote significantly greater airflow, thus ensuring cool sleep. The Air-Engineered and other foams used in making the mattress promotes breathability and airflow. It prevents the accumulation of excessive body heat and keeps one cool and comfortable throughout the night. The cover of Molecule 2 is designed such that it responds to changes in temperature of the body and helps regulate microclimate between the body and the sleep surface, thus wicking away moisture and dissipating heat. The mattress checks the discomfort due to sticky and sweaty feel, so Molecule 2 can be an excellent choice for those prone to overheating and sweating.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.00/5)

The all-foam Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress offers excellent motion isolation. The foam layers absorb motion transfer within the mattress considerably and prevent it from shifting to the other side of the mattress. Thus, one shall not get disturbed by their partner’s position changes.

Edge Support

(3.50/5)

The Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress does not perform as well in terms of providing a strong edge support. The foam layers get compressed near the edges when pressure is applied upon. Therefore, one may feel some sinkage while sitting or lying near the edges. There is a risk of rolling out of the bed while sleeping near the edge.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Doctors are of the opinion that a neat, cool environment to sleep is one of the major factors in enhancing restorative sleep stages. Each one of us has unique sleeping requirements based on weight, height, sleeping position preference. The three primary sleeping postures: side, back, and stomach sleepers, have different sleeping requirements. To cater to the needs of varying sleeper types, Molecule 2 has combined the antimicrobial fighting power of Microban with Air-Engineered™ technology to create a mattress specifically designed to help sleep clean, cool, and comfortable. Below is a detailed description of how Molecule 2 is an excellent fit for different sleep postures.

  • Side Sleepers: The Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress provides adequate cushion near the shoulder and hips, thus it excellent for side sleepers of all sizes, weighing between 130 pounds to 230 pounds. The zoned foam layers helps the shoulders and hips to sink in the right amount while keeping the spine properly aligned.
  • Back Sleepers: Back sleeping is favorable for people with back pain or tightness. This sleeping position reduces acid reflux by keeping the head above the esophagus to prevent stomach acid from coming up to the digestive tract.
    This mattress is best suited for the light and average weighing back sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds as they shall find ample support and cushioning. The five zones of Molecule 2’s RecoveryFLO layer offer necessary support to targeted areas of the body. The center zones are specially designed to provide support to the lumbar region. However, back sleepers weighing over 230 pounds may experience some sinkage while sleeping on the Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Sleeping on the stomach makes it hard for the spine to stay in a neutral position but is suitable for people who snore. People preferring to sleep on their stomachs put more pressure on the mattress, especially around the midsections, so a supportive mattress that prevents the risk of sinking and harming the pounds spines is the best suited.
    Light-weight stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds will get sufficient support in their abdomen sleeping on this mattress. The dense foam layers shall prevent the spine from bending while providing comfort simultaneously. Those weighing above 130 pounds may not find the Molecule 2 AirTEC mattress as supportive and may experience too much sinkage.
  • Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers need good responsiveness in a mattress. Motion isolation is quite good; combination sleepers will find Molecule 2 a good fit, even if they sleep with their partners. Another advantage of Molecule 2 is that combination sleepers will not feel stuck in the mattress while switching positions. However, the bouncy feel of the innerspring mattress is not there in Molecule 2.

Q2: Mattress price change throughout the year based on demand and supply, seasonal promotions and discounts during the national holidays. How should a prospective customer ensure that they get the best price?

Yes, mattress price like other big ticket items fluctuate throughout the year by hundreds of dollars. Lot of the promotions are run during in and around national holidays:

The promotions can run from discount on mattress price to including bundles of gift items like sheet sets, pillows, etc. In addition, mattress manufacturers also run promotions like summer sales, spring sales, etc. If not in a rush and with appropriate research, customers can generally buy mattresses below sticker price throughout the year.

At smartmattressbuy.com, we use "bots" to track price and product details daily and we allow prospective customers to use this unique tool (not available elsewhere) to see how price have changed in the past for different mattress brands, and sizes.

This is a useful tool and of course there is no guaranty that low price will be available, but it helps customers to form an expectation on what should be the fair price of a mattress be and when is the appropriate time to buy a mattress "NOW or WAIT for a Great Deal".
