Original verdict: Ben found the older, all-foam MyPillow Mattress more responsive and supportive than he expected. The medium/white version cushioned his shoulders and hips without the deeply stuck feeling of some memory foam. Current MyPillow mattresses may use different constructions.
This review preserves Yawnder’s original hands-on experience. MyPillow now lists more than one mattress type, so check the exact product name and construction before assuming the older findings apply to a new purchase.
Ben’s experience with the original mattress
When first lying on the mattress, Ben noticed a spring-like response that made him wonder whether it contained coils. The tested bed was all foam, using several layers that gave it a more buoyant feel than expected. He tried the medium/white firmness option.
As a side sleeper, he paid attention to shoulder and hip pressure. In the original review he reported that those areas felt cushioned and did not develop the discomfort he sometimes experienced on firmer beds. The mattress still felt supportive underneath. These impressions reflect his body and the sample he tested; they will not be identical for every sleeper.
What was inside?
The original mattress had multiple foam layers, with a plusher top layer over firmer support layers. Ben photographed the construction to show the stack. This is an historical view: do not assume that the brand’s current foam or coil mattress uses the same components.
Who did the tested version suit?
The medium/white sample may have appealed to a side sleeper who wanted cushioning without a very slow-sinking feel. It may also have suited someone who wanted an all-foam bed that was easier to move on than traditional slow-response foam. A sleeper seeking a very firm surface or a pronounced coil bounce might have preferred a different design.
Ben found temperature control decent for the tested version: it was not the coolest mattress he had tried, but it did not have the heavy heat-retention feel he associated with some older foams. Room temperature, sheets and individual preferences affect that experience.

Compare current models carefully
MyPillow currently lists a foam mattress and a two-sided coil mattress. These are separate products, and we have not established that either matches the older medium/white sample reviewed here. Read the current product specifications, sizes and firmness options.
Before ordering, check the actual price after promotions, delivery, return eligibility, trial conditions, warranty and foundation requirements with the seller. Those terms can differ by product and sales channel.
