Construction

Casper Mattresses8.9

Original Hybrid Mattress

The construction of this mattress is in four distinct layers, each serving a purpose.

Details

Polyurethane Top Layer

On the first layer is a polyurethane foam which is breathable and allows for cooling.

Memory Foam Layer

Beneath the polyurethane foam lies a memory foam which is unique in spine alignment while serving as a supporting layer.

Polyurethane Supporting Layer

Another polyurethane foam is second to the last layer. This one screams of more quality and firmness than the one atop the layers. This is due to its position in the supporting layers.

Hybrid Base Layer

Underneath the three layers of this mattress is a hybrid polyurethane foam with innersprings for reinforced support.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

With special attention given to coolness and comfort, this mattress comes in 5 unique layers.

Details

Polyurethane Top Layer

At the top of the descending layers of this mattress, there is a polyurethane foam which is breathable with a special Cooling technology – AirScape. Undeniably, coolness is a given here.

Original Latex Layer

Just beneath the polyurethane gracing the top as cover is another layer of foam sourced from natural latex for added softness and comfort.

Memory Foam Layer

Sitting at the layer is a memory foam significant for contouring and back support.

Polyurethane Supporting Layer with Gel Pods

Just before the last layer is another not too rigid polyurethane foam serving as supporting layer. It’s not alone. Paired alongside gel pods, it’s renewed softness, more comfort and better spine alignment for the sleeper.

Original Polyurethane Hybrid Foundation

At the foot of it all, lies a hybrid foam made of original Polyurethane foam and innersprings for even more support. The springs create a bouncy feel and aids more air flow.

Nova Hybrid Mattress.

This mattress features 7 layers of support all in the foundation layer and all incorporated into four basic layers which include:

Polyurethane Top Layer

As seen in the other brands, a breathable Polyurethane foam sits at the top most layer providing non-stop air flow and cooling effect.

Zoned Polyurethane Foam

At the second layer is a zoned polyurethane foam that is equally breathable and soft.

Contoured Memory Foam

At the third layer of this mattress construction is a contoured Memory foam to contour the body perfectly and serve the back sleeper well.

Hybrid Foundation

At the base layer is a hybrid combination of Polyurethane foam and individually wrapped coils for extra lift and maximum air flow.

Layla Mattresses9.3

Layla Mattress

This 10″ mattress is built in four unique layers with each layer offering its own benefit to the sleeper. The use of copper is also a catch here.

The details

Polyester Cover

The cover of this mattress is a product of polyester blend that offers a soft-plush feeling. In addition to this comfort, thermogel was infused into this cover to make it cooler and retain this coolness.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

The first layer after the cover begins with the soft side. It’s a 3″ copper memory foam. This layer is sheer soft so it allows you to sink in and contour you afterward.

With copper infused into this layer of memory foam, it creates an extra cooling effect and owing to the antimicrobial properties of copper, you are free of bacteria while you enjoy your sleep. The copper also provides variable support in points where you have deep compression.

Transition Layer

This transition layer is made of a 2″ HD foam. This layer is responsible for the interaction between the soft layer and the firm layer of the mattress.

Support Base

At the base of this mattress is the support 4.5″ foam. It is much firmer and it’s a HD polyfoam. Usually, the mattress layers end here at the base but we still have the firm side since it’s a 2-in-1 flippable mattress.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

On the flip side of this mattress is the firm layer which is 1″ in height and is also a copper-infused memory foam but a lot thinner and firm.

N/B: Both firm and soft options come with motion isolation implying that the movement of your partner on the bed while you are fast asleep does not affect you in any way.

Layla Hybrid

The Layla Hybrid features same construction. Two firmness options, all you have to do is flip to get your desired firmness.

This mattress is made up of 5 layers with the pocketed coils making the real difference and the zipper cover of course.

The details

Feature Rich Cover

The cover of this hybrid mattress is rich in features. From being removable with a zipper to being made from a combination of polyester, lycra and viscose, it’s one feature-packed irregular cover. All these contribute to making it super cool.  It’s highly breathable, soft and assures the sleeper of cool sleep.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

As usual, the soft side in a flippable mattress is the first layer. This soft side is a 2.5″ copper-infused memory foam just like it’s other all-foam counterpart.

The copper in the mix caters for bacteria protection with it’s anti-microbial properties. It makes the mattress extra-cool by zapping heat away.

It also contours the body in a slow responsive style and adds to ease pressure from relevant points where it’s needed.

Transition Layer

Underneath this soft layer is the transition layer which is a zoned 2″ polyfoam that serves as the bridge between the soft side and the firm side. This transition layer is firm which is needed for the transition role it plays.

Support Layer

This support layer makes all the difference and the major reason why this mattress is termed hybrid.

Stealing a sizable portion of the entire mattress, it’s 6″ high in pocketed coils covered in foam.

All the bouncy and floating feeling is supplied from this layer. The coils add extra comfort and coolness equally.

Base Support

This layer is usually the last but for the flippable nature of this mattress, it finds itself in this position. It’s a 1.5″ zoned polyfoam and the thinner version of the zoned polyfoam above it.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

The flip side layer is the firm one which is a 1.5″ copper-infused memory foam. It sits at the bottom so you could just flip it over and get down to the firm side of things.  It is thinner than the soft side which is normal.

Durability

Casper Mattresses8.7

Cooling and Comfort

Casper Mattresses8.7

Breathability leads to increased air flow and coolness. The memory foam in the mix is soft and comforting as it contours your body frame carefully.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

Back Pain Support

There is a rigid foam on the base layer with innersprings that helps to balance your spine properly. The memory foam also works for spine alignment while the sturdy original Polyurethane foam relieves pressure off your back.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

There are supportive gel pods immersed into the supporting layer of this mattress. They are intentionally positioned in the waist and lower back region to keep your spine in proper alignment while preventing them from sinking too low.

Nova Hybrid Mattress

This prevent the sleeper from sinking too deep while his/her weight is evenly distributed to reduce pressure on the back region. This back alignment feature is also supported by it’s hybrid construction of individually wrapped coils.

Layla Mattresses9.2

Layla Mattress

The comfort layer making up the soft side of this mattress offers variable support in points where you have deep compression.

On the other hand, the comfort layer on the firm side also provides little pressure relief for back sleepers. It was engineered to relieve pressure from the back and other focal points.

Both comfort layers (soft and firm) provides pressure relief for all kinds of sleepers. The inclusion of individually pocketed coils makes the pressure relief function more effectively for the back sleeper as well as the side sleeper.

Sleeping Type

Casper Mattresses8.8

Original Hybrid Mattress

This original hybrid mattress caters for the needs of every sleeper.

For side sleepers, the zoned support layer cuddles the shoulder and keeps the rest of the body especially the spine in proper alignment.

The back and stomach sleepers are not left out. This hybrid mattress sits on the medium firm position of the firmness scale and covers every kind of sleeper.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

At 6.5 on the firmness scale, the wave hybrid might not be the ideal one-firmness-fits-all sleepers kind of mattress.

Back Sleepers

For back sleepers, the coils beneath provide support and adequate firmness at the back coupled with a memory foam layer that contours perfectly. An additional latex layer limits sinkage to crown it all for back sleepers.

Side Sleepers

For side sleepers, this is also a great mattress so long as they are not too heavy.

Stomach Sleepers

For the stomach sleepers, this might not be the ideal mattress since it’s top layers are super soft and might not provide the needed firmness for their hips.

Nova Hybrid Mattress

The Nova hybrid mattress is on the medium soft range on the firmness scale.

For side and back sleepers, this mattress is ideal but for stomach sleepers, they might need to reconsider because this mattress might not grant them the extra support they need for their hips.

 

Layla Mattresses9.1

Layla Mattress

With two firmness options available, If you are a side sleeper, you can simply stick with the soft side. This layer offers better pressure relief generally for a side sleeper.

For the back sleeper, you are covered on both sides. They both help in the even distribution of your weight around the mattress so you don’t feel pressure anywhere. Both sides work very well for the back sleeper.

For the regular stomach sleeper, the firm side is ideal. It offers great support for the hips.

Layla Hybrid Mattress

Same double firmness options, the soft side is ideal for every side sleeper. It offers pressure relief and allows the sleeper to get immersed into the mattress. It also eases the pressure off the hips and shoulders.

For back sleepers, both sides are great. The soft side offers better spine alignment and contouring, allowing the sleeper to sink in for premium comfort. Pressure relief is also effective on the firm side.

For the stomach sleeper, the soft side might be too soft, and too much sinking can affect the alignment of the spine. So the firm side is a better option.

Dimensions

Conclusion

Layla came up mainstream into the mattress industry in 2016 and has since proven itself to be a competitive brand. Layla has two mattresses; one all-foam and one hybrid.
