Original verdict: Ben found the older Ecosa adjustable foam mattress notably firm, with low motion transfer and three configurations. Even its two medium settings felt firmer than many medium-firm beds he had tried. This review describes the earlier sample.
The Ecosa’s defining feature was the ability to unzip the mattress and change the orientation of its internal layers. Ben tested and photographed each configuration so shoppers could see how the surface responded.
How the original adjustment worked
The reviewed mattress had three foam surfaces that could be rearranged to change the feel. Ben described the G-7 memory-foam side as slightly softer than the other medium setting, ECO-Tex. The support-foam configuration was the firmest by a clear margin. Despite the labels, he did not consider the original mattress genuinely plush in any configuration.
Adjustment changes the feel of the whole mattress, not each side independently. Follow the instructions for your exact model; construction and adjustment procedures may have changed.
Ben’s firmness demonstrations
In Ben’s original bowling-ball comparison, the ball rested closer to the surface on the firmest configuration than on the softer one. The demonstration does not predict how deeply a person will sink; body size, position and preference matter.
Cover, motion and practical tradeoffs
The original sample had a removable outer cover and a waterproof inner barrier. Ben liked the built-in protection. Check the care and warranty instructions for your version; a waterproof barrier does not automatically replace every owner’s need for a separate protector.
Ben reported little motion transfer across the tested foam configurations and thought the firmer feel would particularly appeal to back or stomach sleepers who prefer firm support. A side sleeper wanting a deep plush cradle might prefer another design. Adjusting foam layers also requires handling bulky material, so check whether you can comfortably do it.

What to check before buying
Ecosa’s U.S. adjustable-mattress information describes a three-setting design, while the current U.S. homepage emphasizes sofa beds and pillows. Availability and models differ by country. Confirm that the mattress is actually available in your region and that its current layers and cover match your needs.
Check price, delivery, trial, returns and warranty for the exact seller and country. The original trial and warranty descriptions are historical and contained conflicting figures.
Frequently asked questions
Did Ben find a very soft setting?
No. He considered the original configurations medium to firm overall, even though one medium setting felt slightly softer.
Can partners choose different firmnesses on a single mattress?
The reviewed one-piece adjustment changed the mattress surface as a whole. Check the exact product if you need independent sides.
Is the inner cover waterproof?
The original sample had a waterproof inner barrier. Verify the specifications and care instructions for any current model.
