The Nolah Original Hybrid mattress is a 12-inch hybrid mattress with a medium-firm feel, scoring 8.76 in performance tests. It excels in cooling, edge support, and responsiveness, making it suitable for various sleeping positions and body weights. However, it has a high level of motion transfer, which may not be ideal for sensitive sleepers or couples. The mattress features a quilted Tencel cover and open-cell foams for cooling, moderate sinkage, excellent pressure relief, quick response time, and high bounce. It is competitively priced at $1,224 for a queen size and comes with a 120-night trial period.
