Our take: a flippable hybrid for kids
Nolah currently markets the Nurture as a kids’ hybrid mattress with a Soft side and a Firm side. That reversible design gives families a way to change the feel as a child’s preference changes. Measure the bed frame and check which side feels comfortable before deciding.
Best starting point for: Families shopping for an older child or teen and interested in two firmness choices. Consider alternatives if: You need a queen size, want an all-latex mattress, or need an infant sleep surface.
Model context: The earlier Nurture article described a latex-oriented version. Nolah’s current listing describes a different foam-and-coil kids’ hybrid. Historical photos and scores below should not be assumed to describe today’s exact configuration.

Some search listings and older records disagree about mattress height. Confirm the current dimensions directly with Nolah before ordering sheets or a frame.
Soft side versus Firm side
The mattress is designed to be flipped so either surface faces upward. The Soft side is intended for a more cushioned feel, while the Firm side offers a more resistant feel. The right choice depends on the child’s size, comfort and sleep position; neither side guarantees a medical outcome.
Ask the seller how to identify the sides, whether the chosen foundation is compatible, and how to turn the mattress safely.
Materials and certifications
Nolah’s current listing describes an organic cotton cover, foam layers and coils. It lists GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certifications; CertiPUR-US applies to qualifying foam, not automatically to every component of the mattress. The current description should not be confused with the earlier article’s latex and GOLS references.
For infant sleep, use a separate, properly fitting infant sleep product that meets applicable safety standards. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe-sleep guidance recommends a firm, flat sleep surface in an appropriate crib, bassinet or play yard.
What the earlier Nurture article covered
Our earlier article emphasized latex and organic cotton. The following images are retained as historical references; they should not be used as proof of the current product’s layers.
The existing standardized scores lower on this page are attached to an older Nurture record whose generation and firmness are not confirmed. They should not be treated as independent test results for the current flippable hybrid.
Price, trial and warranty
Choose a size to see current pricing; the current manufacturer listing showed Twin, Twin XL and Full rather than Queen. Nolah advertises a 365-night sleep trial and limited lifetime warranty for the current mattress. Policies can vary by seller, purchase date and conditions, so verify return fees and the terms applying to your order.
