Buy Nolah
The Nolah Evolution 15 mattress is a premium hybrid bed-in-a-box with a 15-inch thickness and seven-layer construction, offering customizable firmness levels. It excels in motion isolation, edge support, and provides a "floating" sensation beneficial for back and stomach sleepers. However, it may retain some heat and be too firm for side sleepers. The mattress comes with a 120-night trial, lifetime warranty, and is priced around $1,599 for a queen size after discounts.
