Construction

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.

Sleeping Type

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.

Nolah Mattresses9.6

All Nolah mattresses are exclusively made for back and side sleepers with the exception of Nolah Signature 12″ Mattress and Nolah Limited Edition 12″ Mattress. These two exceptions cater for the need of stomach sleepers with their 2-side firmness flipabble construction.

This means that these two exceptions are suitable for every kind of sleeper while the other two – Nolah Limited Edition 10″ Mattress and Nolah Original 10″ Mattress are made for back and side sleepers since they fall within the soft and medium-firm range of the firmness scale.

This range is universally ideal for every sleeper but stomach sleepers can demand it a little more on the firm side which the flippable mattresses from Nolah affords adequately.

Dimensions

Conclusion

Nolah is a top brand in the industry with four responsive mattresses. All four mattresses are made of foams, no hybrids. Layla and Nolah share the flippable mattress in common.

Nolah deploys an Airfoam^TM technology to offer cool comfort and pressure relief on its mattresses while Layla relies on the comfort layers of its flippable mattresses for comfort which is also present in the flippable mattress of Nolah.

But Layla beats Nolah on support. Layla has a transition layer and a support layer on its hybrid which adds to the base support foam for reinforced rigidity and durability.

The added support that the premium coils on its hybrid version offer, is superior, bouncy and adds to the durability of Layla’s hybrid mattress.
