Nature’s Novel Mattress: Stunning Comfort for Better Sleep

by
Sweet Zzz Mattress

The Nature’s Novel mattress by Sweet Zzz is a mattress made with natural wool, Talalay latex and a base layer of foam. It comes with a 100 night trial with free shipping and free returns. This mattress is a nice departure from the typical 3 layer foam construction. The layers of latex at the top provide a breathable and supportive surface that makes it easy to change positions at night.

If you live in California, you can try out this mattress in person at their showrooms located in Los Angeles.

Overview of Nature’s Novel Mattress

Here’s a quick video overview of the Nature’s Novel Mattress. As you can see it is a fairly thick mattress that has a really nice optic white cover that has some stretch to it.

Construction of the Sweet Zzz Mattress

nature's novel construction

As you can see from the picture above, the base layer is foam. Above that there are two layers of latex. There is wool in between the top layer and the knit cover which acts as a natural fire barrier.

I’m not sure the exact weight but this is a heavy mattress. Mine came packed in a box the size of the mattress instead of roll packed so you may want to opt for the white glove delivery service for an extra $149.

How Much Does the Nature’s Novel Mattress Cost?

Below are the prices of the mattress before any discounts. Normally SweetZzz will offer discounts on the mattress dropping the prices below considerably.

My Nature’s Novel Mattress Findings

I found this mattress to be on the firmer side which can be expected when you have latex at the top. This means you will sleep more “on” the mattress than “in” it.

Below is my 14 lb. bowling ball on the mattress to illustrate how much sink you can expect.

What I found most remarkable about this mattress is that you get a fair amount of bounce and quick recovery despite it not having a spring system. The two layers of latex at the top are instantly responsive making it easy to change positions. The base layer of foam also helps absorb motion transfer.

 

Here’s a look inside the mattress. In this video you can see how each layer reacts. The two top layers of latex bounce back instantly and so does the foam base layer which provides a firm foundation for the top two latex layers.

 

Here’s another photo showing how much each layer gives when adding my 14 lb. bowling ball.

This mattress has good breathability due to the top layers of latex. Below is a picture of the top latex layer. When latex is made, there are holes created by the mold when it is poured. This allows for more air transfer.

My Nature’s Novel Sweet Zzz Mattress Recommendation

If you’re looking for all the benefits that latex has to offer but don’t want to pay the high prices, the Nature’s Novel mattress is a great choice. While there is a base layer of foam, you do get the benefits of natural materials where it counts, at the top of the mattress.

Acesleep Mattress Review: Must-Have for Effortless Comfort

by
Acesleep Mattress review

The Acesleep mattress is a breathable memory foam mattress with a cover that is cool to the touch. It is on the softer side of the spectrum and is an excellent choice for people looking for a softer foam mattress that is still breathable and supportive. It stands out from the competition with a generous amount of cooling material on the cover and breathable, mesh side panels for maximum airflow.  A queen size currently retails for $889.99.

Overview of the Acesleep Mattress

You can purchase this mattress direct through their website or from Amazon. I would recommend going through their website as the return process will be easier than Amazon. It will ship quickly, in about 5 business days and arrives in a package like this.

Ace Sleep Bag

The mattress will take a little while to get to full shape, I would give it at least a couple days to get the true feel but it should be fine to sleep on about 8 hours after opening.

Here’s a quick video overview of the mattress.

 

How Much Does the Acesleep Mattress Cost?

Below are the current prices of the Acesleep mattress as listed on their website. This is before applying any discounts. Acesleep now offers $100 off prices below.

Construction of the Acesleep Mattress

Here are some of the construction highlights of this mattress. The top two layers are what really make this mattress feel cool and breathable.

acesleep layers

Luxury Ice Silk Cover

Ice silk fabric, with a new generation technology, brings you extra-soft, ultra breathability and deepest & longest lasting coolness you can ever imagine for a mattress cover.

Eco-Friendly Open-Cell Memory Foam 2½”

Advanced open-cell Eco-friendly plant-based memory foam is proved to sleep 25% cooler than traditional petroleum-based polyurethane by sleep studies.

Bamboo Memory Foam 2″

Natural bamboo charcoal is resistant to dust mites and other bacteria, regulates sleeping temperature and provides best spine support.

Gel Infused Memory Foam Cushioning Layer 1½”

Gel Memory Foam transmits excess heat from the top layers to keep coolness all night and better contour whole body and relieve pressure points as a cushioning layer.

High-Density Sag-Free Foam Base 6″

High density core base is the strong support for mattress, providing the bed a solid and durable foundation.

Here’s a picture of the inside of the mattress where you can see the actual layers.

Ace Sleep Mattress Layers

The top foam layer has tiny holes for breathability. When I pushed down on the top of the mattress with the cover on I could feel air flow through the cover.

acesleep top layerMy Acesleep Findings

This mattress immediately feels cool to the touch. That’s the first thing that really stood out. I then found it to conform very well right away. Here’s a picture of my 14 lb. bowling ball on the mattress to show how much it sinks.

In comparison to other foam mattresses with similar construction, this mattress gives you a medium amount of, “hug”. I will sink in just enough for good pressure relief but not so much as to feel you are trapped.

Ace Sleep SinkageThe video below is a slow-motion bowling ball drop to illustrate how much partner disturbance you might expect. This is an all foam mattress so you won’t notice your partner shifting positions at night.

 

Here’s a look inside the mattress. The layers are well defined and each has a unique purpose. The top layer is the softest followed by the transition layer underneath. When laying on the mattress I couldn’t feel where one layer started and the other ended. With some mattresses, you definitely feel that and that can be good or bad depending on what type of feel you are looking for. Generally, side sleepers will seek out a mattress that has good transition like this one.

 

My Acesleep Recommendation

Acesleep has done a great job with the overall construction of this mattress. It is a very versatile feel and will appeal to side and back sleepers. Stomach sleepers may find this mattress a little too soft. They have a 120 day trial period and so they take the risk out of trying it. If you are and/or your partner are side sleepers and prefer a foam mattress but tend to sleep hot, I would try this mattress first.

1″ Cool Natural Cotton Cover

2″ O-Cell Cooling Gel 4 lb Memory Foam

mattress constructionMy Affluent Rest Mattress Findings

What I first noticed about this mattress is the 4 lb. foam on the top layer. It is a nice, thick foam that will conform very well. The 5 lb. foam underneath that gives great support without sinking in too much. Below is a picture with my 14 lb. bowling ball showing how much the mattress sinks.

With this mattress, there is no motion transfer. Check out the video below

 

My Affluent Rest Recommendation

The Affluent Rest mattress is a great choice for people that want a mattress with good contouring and support. You won’t sink too much into this mattress which makes it easier to move around on. I really appreciate that they use dense foams at the top layer which are durable and will give the mattress a long lifespan.

Tanda Mattress Review: Must-Have Cool Comfort Awaits

by
Tanda Mattress Review

The Dromma Bed has been discontinued. Please check out our other mattress reviews.

[vc_column_text class=”sleep-sherpa-exclusive-deal”]I just received a free Tanda Mattress for review. The Tanda mattress comes in two constructions, the Comfy Cool mattress and the Complete Cool mattress. I received the Complete cool mattress which features something called, ATROS technology. This is a phase change material to the extreme. It provides a lasting cooling sensation to keep you comfortable throughout the night.  Both models of the Tanda are all memory foam mattresses.

Overview of the Tanda Mattress

You can order the Tanda directly through their website. As with most of the online mattress brands, this one will arrive about a week after placing your order and will arrive in a box at your door. No need to wait for scheduled delivery times either.

Prices for the Tanda are as follows:

Twin $550
Twin XL $600
Full $800
Queen $950
King $1,150
Cal King $1,150

Tanda Mattress Construction

The Tanda mattress is constructed as follows:

  • 10 inches high
  • Top layer is a Tencel fabric with ATROS technology
  • Top layer of comfort foam
  • Transition layer of gel memory foam
  • Base layer of support foam

Tanda Mattress Construction

My Tanda findings

The Tanda definitely lives up to its claims by sleeping cool. Even lying on the mattress with a light sweater, I could feel the cooling effect of the ATROS technology. Below is a video shot with my thermal camera to illustrate heat retention. Just note that the video below doesn’t tell the whole story. This mattress is actually cool to the touch so even though there is heat coming off the mattress you still get a cooling sensation.

This mattress sink a little bit but I wouldn’t call it a plush mattress. I would say it is more a true medium firm foam mattress. Here’s a picutre to show how much the mattress will sink.

Tanda mattress sink

Here’s a video demonstrating the amount of motion transfer you can expect with this mattress. Again, since it’s an all foam mattress you won’t have to deal with your partner waking you up at night from tossing and turning.

 

Finally, here’s a video showing how each layer reacts. You’ll noticed that it doesn’t bounce back immediately but also doesn’t take too long to recover. This again gives it a good balance of pressure relief and responsiveness.

 

My Tanda Mattress Recommendation

The Tanda mattress is an excellent choice for people looking for a mattress with denser foam than many of the more popular options that also can sleep cool. The ATROS technology is no joke. It really will help you sleep cool. To compliment their cool sleeping mattress, they also offer pillows with the same cooling technology. The Complete Cool pillow retails for $75 and is made with a shredded foam inside. Below is a picture of the inside of the pillow.

Tanda Pillow Inside

These pillows have gusseted edges which make them ideal for side sleeping.

Tanda PIllow

In conclusion, if you have tried and like the feel of memory foam but are having trouble with heat retention issues, I think the Tanda would be a great choice for people that sleep hot. You should get immediate relief with the cool to the touch cover that should have a lasting effect to keep you asleep.
