Rating: 6.9
Verified
Buy Nolah
The Nolah Original Hybrid Mattress is a medium-firm hybrid mattress designed for various sleeper types, especially back sleepers and hot sleepers. It combines Nolah's AirFoam and individually wrapped coils for comfort and support. The mattress is 11 inches tall with a firmness rating of 6.5 out of 10, making it suitable for average weight back sleepers needing spinal support and pressure relief. It features a Tencel cover, AirFoam comfort layer, EverAdapt transition layer, and a support layer of coils organized into three zones for lumbar support. The mattress offers decent cooling, good motion isolation, and edge support. It is recommended for back sleepers, couples, and hot sleepers but not for side sleepers or budget-conscious shoppers. It comes with a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty, priced at $1,749 for a queen size.
