Layer breakdown
Polyfoam comfort layer
1.25″ thick · 1.6 lb/ft³ density
At 1.6 lb/ft³ this foam sits under the ~1.8 lb/ft³ we'd want from polyfoam — low-density foam tends to soften and take body impressions sooner, especially under heavier sleepers.
Memory foam transition layer
0.75″ thick · 1.7 lb/ft³ density
1.7 lb/ft³ foam runs light, but a 0.75″ slab like this is too thin to drag durability down.
Memory foam transition layer
2″ thick · 5 lb/ft³ density
Measured at 5 lb/ft³ — high-density foam like this resists softening and body impressions, one of the strongest longevity signals in a build.A memory-foam layer this thick tends to hold body heat — worth knowing if you sleep hot.
Polyfoam transition layer
1″ thick · 1.8 lb/ft³ density
Measured at 1.8 lb/ft³ — solid polyfoam for average-weight sleepers, though heavier (200 lb+) sleepers would want closer to 2 lb/ft³ here.
Coil support core
8″ thick · 13.5-gauge steel
13.5-gauge steel — thicker wire than most, built to carry heavier sleepers without giving up support.An open coil core is the best airflow a mattress can have — body heat vents out instead of building up.
Polyfoam base layer
1″ thick · 1.6 lb/ft³ density
Measured at 1.6 lb/ft³ — solid polyfoam for average-weight sleepers, though heavier (200 lb+) sleepers would want closer to 1.8 lb/ft³ here.
