How Does the Molecule Mattress Work?

1. Molecule is backed by science.
   1. Your body needs to regulate its body temperature during sleep to achieve maximum recovery. (Slow wave sleep)
      1. Every Molecule product is designed to regulate body temperature during sleep to achieve maximum recovery.
      2. Molecule use proprietary technology to achieve optimal body temperature during sleep.
   2. Designed in cooperation with sleep experts from institutions such as Weill Cornell Medicine
2. Features of the MOLECULE M1:
   1. Advanced Cover
      1. Features Phase Change Material to regulate the microclimate between your body and the sleep surface. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, an embedded temperature sensitive polymer, responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling.
   2. RestoreFLO: Open cell gel infused memory foam
      1. Consistent airflow even when compressed
      2. Cooling gel
   3. RecoveryFLO: 3-zone dynamic response layer
      1. Precision-contoured 3D geometric surface provides targeted, self-adjusting support for different parts of the body.
   4. ContourFLO: Maximum support

My Molecule Findings

The Molecule has a stretchy knitted cover that works well with the mattress. This is the first mattress I have reviewed where the cover is made with microban technology. Even though it has microban, I would still advise using a mattress protector just to keep it in pristine condition.

In the picture below is my 14 lb. bowling ball on the mattress. It sinks a good amount which means your hips and shoulder will get good pressure relief.

Here’s a quick video showing how much bounce and motion transfer your can expect with this mattress. There is little motion transfer and not a lot of bounce but it does recover quickly.

Here’s a peek inside the Molecule where you can see each distinct layer. The blue layer is the recoveryflo layer which has channels for air to dissipate.

Here’s a closer look at the recoveryflo layer.

Here’s a video which shows how the layers react. Notice that they recover very quickly. It’s also really easy to squish this mattress which means it will contour quickly too.

My Molecule Recommendation

The Molecule is not your typical 3 layer foam bed. It looks like one and even feels similar to some others I have tried but what sets it apart is that it is one of the coolest sleeping foam mattresses I have tried. A popular way to address heat issues in mattresses is to use a phase change material in the cover which is cool to the touch but this effect is temporary and eventually, the mattress will heat up. Molecule has designed the foam and cut of the foam for maximum breathability where using phase change materials isn’t necessary.

I found this mattress to be a bit on the softer end of the spectrum and for that it may not be best for stomach sleepers but most back sleepers and definitely side sleepers will appreciate the contouring, cooling and pressure relief this mattress offers.

This is a unique opportunity to experience the same recovery-focused sleep as top athletes for at a very affordable price.
