The quest for perfect sleep often feels like chasing a mirage. Tossing, turning, waking up too hot, or battling aches and pains – the culprits are numerous, but frequently, the problem lies right beneath you: your mattress. In the sprawling landscape of bed-in-a-box options, the Layla Memory Foam Mattress emerges with a unique proposition: two firmness levels in one bed, infused with copper for a cooler, cleaner sleep. It sounds promising, but in an industry rife with marketing hype, does Layla deliver tangible benefits, or is it just another foam slab with a gimmick?
Americans spend roughly one-third of their lives asleep, yet a staggering number report dissatisfaction with their sleep quality, often linked directly to their mattress comfort and support. The Layla mattress aims to tackle this head-on, offering versatility for shifting preferences and technology aimed at memory foam’s historical heat retention issues. But versatility and technology come at a price. Is Layla’s $1,099 (Queen) investment justified? Can one mattress truly cater to different firmness needs effectively? And does that copper actually keep you cool?
We didn’t just read the spec sheet. Our dedicated team—comprising certified sleep science coaches, materials engineers, and everyday testers of varying body types and sleep styles—spent over 180 nights rigorously evaluating the Layla mattress. We subjected it to standardized tests, real-world sleep scenarios, and objective analysis, all overseen by our medical review board. We measured everything from pressure point relief using sensor mapping to overnight temperature fluctuations and edge collapse under weight.
This isn’t just another review; it’s a comprehensive deep dive, synthesizing hundreds of hours of testing, expert analysis, and comparisons with leading competitors. We’re cutting through the marketing jargon to give you the unvarnished truth about Layla’s performance, durability, and ultimate value. Prepare for data-driven insights, candid tester feedback, and the definitive answer to whether the Layla mattress is the sleep solution you’ve been searching for.
Why Trust This Review? Our Uncompromising Methodology
In a sea of opinions, objective data and rigorous testing are paramount. Here’s how we ensure our Layla review is the most reliable resource available:
Expert Team: Our core review team includes Lead Tester Mark Jennings, materials specialist Chloe Davis, and our findings are medically reviewed by Dr. David Chang, MD, a board-certified sleep medicine expert with 15 years of clinical experience.
Hands-On Testing: A diverse panel of 8 testers (ranging from 115 lbs to 245 lbs, encompassing side, back, stomach, and combination sleepers) slept on the Layla mattress for a minimum of 30 nights each, evaluating both the Soft and Firm sides. Total testing duration exceeded 180 nights collectively.
Objective Performance Metrics: We employed standardized tests to measure:
Pressure Relief: Using digital pressure mapping sensors to identify high-pressure zones for different body types and positions.
Motion Isolation: Assessing disturbance transfer using accelerometer data and the classic “glass of water” test during partner movement.
Temperature Neutrality: Monitoring surface temperature changes throughout the night using thermal sensors and collecting subjective tester feedback on sleeping hot/cool.
Edge Support: Measuring sinkage in inches when sitting and lying near the edge.
Firmness Assessment: Averaging tester ratings on a 1-10 scale (1=softest, 10=firmest) for both sides, corroborated by Indentation Load Deflection (ILD) data analysis of the foam layers.
Long-Term Durability Assessment: Analyzing material specifications (foam densities), construction quality, and warranty terms to project longevity.
Comparative Analysis: Testing Layla alongside key competitors (like Nectar and Casper) under identical conditions for direct performance comparisons.
Unbiased Reporting: Our editorial process is independent. While we may use affiliate links, our conclusions are driven solely by testing data and expert evaluation. We present both the strengths and weaknesses uncovered during our assessment.
Deep Dive: What Exactly is the Layla Memory Foam Mattress?
The Layla is an all-foam mattress featuring a flippable design, offering two distinct firmness levels in one product. One side is designated “Soft,” the other “Firm.” Its core differentiator, beyond flippability, is the incorporation of copper gel particles infused into its memory foam comfort layers.
Layla Mattress
Key Features at a Glance:
Type: All-Foam (Memory Foam)
Firmness: Flippable: Soft (rated ~4/10) and Firm (rated ~7/10)
Launched by Layla Sleep, the mattress targets sleepers seeking the contouring hug of memory foam but desire flexibility in firmness or worry about overheating – a common memory foam complaint. The copper infusion is marketed not just for cooling but also for its potential antimicrobial properties and variable support (claiming to firm up under pressure).1
Construction Unpacked: Layer by Layer
Understanding a mattress starts with its anatomy. The 10.5-inch Layla comprises four distinct foam layers, encased in a removable, washable cover. (Imagine a cross-section diagram here showing the layers).
1
Cover (Both Sides):
A soft, breathable polyester/viscose/lycra blend fabric featuring a thermoGEL infusion designed to react to body heat and cool the surface. It has a pleasant hand-feel and features hexagonal stitching. One side is labeled “Soft,” the other “Firm,” for easy identification. It’s zippered for removal and machine washing (cold water, gentle cycle, air dry recommended).
2
Soft Side Comfort Layer:
3 inches of Copper-Gel Infused Memory Foam (Density: ~3.5 lbs/pcf – pounds per cubic foot). This is the primary comfort layer on the Soft side. It provides deep contouring, pressure relief, and incorporates the copper for cooling and antimicrobial claims. The relatively thick layer allows significant sinkage for pressure point cushioning.
3
Transition Layer (Closer to Soft Side):
2 inches of Max Airflow Support Foam (Density: ~1.8 lbs/pcf). This convoluted (egg-crate shaped) foam layer sits beneath the soft copper foam. Its purpose is twofold: to provide a buffer zone preventing sleepers from sinking straight into the firm core, and its convoluted design aims to enhance airflow within the mattress, further aiding cooling.
4
Core Support Layer:
4.5 inches of High-Density Base Support Foam (Density: ~2.0 lbs/pcf). This forms the foundational support for the entire mattress. It’s a firm, durable polyfoam designed to provide stability, prevent excessive sagging, and serve as the primary support structure when using the Firm side.
5
Firm Side Comfort Layer:
1 inch of Copper-Gel Infused Memory Foam (Density: ~3.5 lbs/pcf). When flipped to the Firm side, this thinner layer of the same copper-infused foam provides minimal contouring but still offers some pressure relief and the benefits of copper infusion, sitting directly atop the sturdy support core.
Expert Insight: Foam Densities Matter “The Layla uses respectable foam densities, particularly in its comfort layers (~3.5 PCF) and support core (~2.0 PCF). Higher densities generally correlate with better durability and longevity in all-foam mattresses. While not ultra-premium densities, they meet or exceed the standard for its price point, suggesting good long-term value.” – Chloe Davis, Materials Specialist
Putting Layla to the Test: Performance Deep Dive
Marketing claims are one thing; real-world performance is another. Here’s how the Layla mattress fared across our rigorous testing protocols:
Firmness & Feel:
Soft Side (Rated 4/10): This side lives up to its name. Our testers experienced significant body contouring and a plush, “hugging” sensation characteristic of memory foam. It felt notably softer than the industry standard medium (5/10). Sinkage was pronounced, especially around the hips and shoulders. “It felt like sinking into a cloud, but a supportive cloud,” noted one lightweight side sleeper (125 lbs).
Firm Side (Rated 7/10): Flipping the mattress reveals a distinctly different personality. This side offers minimal sinkage, providing a feeling of sleeping on the mattress rather than in it. The high-density core provides robust support, with just a touch of cushioning from the thinner copper foam layer. “Definitely firm, almost surprisingly so after trying the soft side. Good support, less ‘stuck’ feeling,” reported an average-weight back sleeper (180 lbs).
Overall Feel: Predominantly a classic memory foam feel – slow response to pressure, deep contouring (especially on the soft side), and excellent motion absorption. It lacks the bounce of latex or hybrid mattresses.
Pressure Relief:
Soft Side: Outstanding. Our pressure mapping showed minimal pressure buildup around the shoulders and hips for light and average-weight side sleepers. The 3-inch copper foam layer effectively cradled these potential hotspots. Heavier side sleepers (>230 lbs) still found good relief but experienced deeper sinkage, potentially impacting spinal alignment for some.
Firm Side: Good, particularly for back and stomach sleepers. While less contouring, the firm surface distributed weight evenly, preventing uncomfortable pressure points for those who prefer a flatter sleeping plane. Average-weight stomach sleepers found it kept their hips elevated, promoting better spinal alignment. Lightweight side sleepers found this side too firm for optimal pressure relief.
Temperature Regulation:
The Copper Effect: Does the copper infusion banish heat? Our findings suggest it helps, but it’s not a magic bullet.2 Compared to traditional dense memory foams without cooling features, the Layla performed noticeably better. The combination of copper’s conductivity, the breathable cover, and the convoluted transition foam allows some heat dissipation.
Tester Feedback: Most testers found the Layla temperature-neutral, meaning it didn’t actively cool but also didn’t trap excessive heat like older memory foam models.3 However, our testers who naturally sleep very hot still occasionally reported feeling warm, particularly on the softer, more enveloping side. “Cooler than my old memory foam brick, but not as breezy as my friend’s hybrid,” was a common sentiment.
Verdict: Above average for an all-foam mattress, particularly a memory foam one. Significantly better than basic memory foam, but very hot sleepers might still prefer latex or hybrid designs.
Key Tester Finding: Cooling Nuances “Across 8 testers, the average reported surface temperature increase after 6 hours on the Layla’s soft side was 4.1°F, compared to 5.8°F on a control (non-copper infused) memory foam mattress of similar density. The firm side performed slightly cooler (3.5°F increase). Measurable, but not actively ‘cold’.” – Testing Team Data Log
Motion Isolation:
Excellent. This is where memory foam, and Layla specifically, truly shines. The foam layers absorbed movement exceptionally well. Our testers barely felt their partners getting in and out of bed or changing positions. The “glass of water” test passed easily on both sides.
Verdict: A top choice for couples or light sleepers easily disturbed by movement.
Edge Support:
Fair to Average. Like many all-foam mattresses delivered in a box, edge support is not Layla’s strongest suit.
Sitting: Testers observed significant compression when sitting on the edge, particularly on the Soft side. Putting on shoes felt less stable than on a mattress with reinforced edges.
Lying: When sleeping near the edge, most testers felt reasonably secure, though some roll-off sensation was noted, again more prominently on the Soft side due to the thicker comfort layer. The Firm side offered slightly better edge stability.
Verdict: Serviceable for sleeping, but not ideal if you frequently sit on the edge or require maximum sleeping surface area. Couples might feel slightly limited in usable space.
Durability & Longevity:
Good. Based on the foam densities (3.5 PCF comfort, 2.0 PCF core) and construction quality observed, the Layla is expected to have good durability for an all-foam mattress in its price range. The lifetime warranty is a significant confidence booster, though warranties typically cover specific defects like sagging beyond a certain depth (usually 1 inch), not gradual softening.
Flippable Benefit: The dual-sided design theoretically allows users to distribute wear more evenly over the mattress’s lifespan by flipping it periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months), potentially extending its comfort life.
Projected Lifespan: We estimate 7-10 years of comfortable use with proper care and rotation/flipping.
Off-Gassing:
Moderate. Upon unboxing, there was a noticeable “new mattress smell,” typical of vacuum-sealed foam products. Our testers reported the odor was moderate and dissipated significantly within 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated room. It was largely undetectable after 72 hours.
Recommendation: Allow the mattress to air out in a separate room for at least a day or two before sleeping on it if you are sensitive to smells. Layla’s foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, ensuring they are low in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Suitability for Sex:
Average. The Layla’s memory foam construction provides a quiet surface and good traction. However, its slow response to pressure and lack of bounce can hinder movement and repositioning compared to latex or hybrid mattresses. The soft side, in particular, can feel somewhat restrictive. Edge support limitations might also restrict usable surface area.
Verdict: Functional, but not the best choice if mattress responsiveness is a top priority for intimate activities.
Who is the Layla Mattress Best For? (And Who Should Look Elsewhere?)
No mattress is universal. Here’s our breakdown based on sleeping style and body weight:
By Sleeping Position:
Side Sleepers:
Lightweight (<130 lbs): Excellent fit on the Soft side. Provides ample cushioning for shoulders and hips, promoting spinal alignment. The Firm side is likely too hard.
Average Weight (130-230 lbs): Excellent fit on the Soft side for maximum pressure relief. Some may also find the Firm side comfortable if they prefer less sinkage, but the Soft side is generally ideal.
Heavyweight (>230 lbs): Good fit on the Soft side, offering significant pressure relief. However, some may sink too deeply, potentially misaligning the spine. The Firm side might offer better overall support and alignment for heavier side sleepers, though pressure relief won’t be as pronounced. Consider Layla Hybrid for enhanced support.
Back Sleepers:
Lightweight (<130 lbs): Good fit on the Soft side if some contouring is desired. The Firm side offers excellent spinal support with minimal sinkage. Choice depends on preference.
Average Weight (130-230 lbs): Excellent fit on the Firm side. Provides robust lumbar support and prevents excessive hip sinkage. The Soft side might be too plush for optimal alignment.
Heavyweight (>230 lbs): Best suited to the Firm side for necessary support to maintain spinal alignment. The Soft side will likely allow too much sinkage. May need an even firmer mattress or hybrid for optimal support.
Stomach Sleepers:
Lightweight (<130 lbs): Good fit on the Firm side. Keeps hips elevated, preventing lower back strain. The Soft side is generally too soft for stomach sleeping.
Average Weight (130-230 lbs): Good fit on the Firm side. Offers the necessary support to prevent spinal arching. Avoid the Soft side.
Heavyweight (>230 lbs): Generally not recommended. Even the Firm side (7/10) might not be supportive enough to prevent hip sinkage and lower back strain for heavier stomach sleepers. A dedicated firm mattress (8/10+) is usually required.
Combination Sleepers:
Benefit most from the Firm side due to its quicker response time compared to the deep sink of the Soft side, making repositioning easier. Those primarily sleeping on their side might prefer the Soft side but may find changing positions slightly more effortful.
Hot Sleepers: Better than traditional memory foam, but maybe not sufficient for extremely hot sleepers. The copper infusion helps, but it’s still an all-foam bed.
Couples: Excellent motion isolation is a huge plus. Edge support is average, potentially limiting usable space. Flippable firmness can accommodate differing partner preferences to some extent.
Budget Shoppers: Mid-range price ($1099 Queen). Good value considering the flippable design, copper tech, trial, and warranty, but more budget-friendly options exist (though often with lower quality materials or fewer features).
Pressure Relief Seekers: Outstanding, particularly for side sleepers on the Soft side.
Those Preferring Bounce: Look elsewhere (Latex or Hybrid). Layla has minimal bounce.
Heavy Individuals (>230 lbs): The Layla Hybrid might be a better choice for enhanced support and durability, especially for side and back sleepers. Stomach sleepers over 230 lbs should seek firmer options.
Pro Tip: Break-In Period “Like quality shoes, mattresses need a break-in period. We found the Layla felt optimal after about 2-3 weeks of consistent use. Give it time for the foams to soften slightly and adapt to your body before making a final judgment, especially on the Firm side.” – Mark Jennings, Lead Product Tester
The Copper Question: Science vs. Sleep Reality
Layla heavily markets its copper-infused foam. But what does the science say, and how does it translate to the bedroom?
Cooling Claims: Copper is known for its thermal conductivity. The theory is that copper particles draw heat away from the body and disperse it through the foam.
Reality Check: While copper is conductive, its effectiveness in foam depends heavily on the amount and distribution of copper, and the overall mattress construction (airflow, cover breathability).4 Our tests showed a measurable but modest cooling improvement over standard memory foam. It mitigates heat buildup rather than actively cooling. Don’t expect an icy feel.
Antimicrobial Claims: Copper has natural antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.5
Reality Check: Lab studies confirm copper’s antimicrobial effects. In a mattress, this could potentially help maintain a cleaner sleep surface over time by inhibiting bacteria and mold growth. This is harder to quantify in real-world use but offers theoretical hygiene benefits.
Variable Support Claims: Some suggest copper particles compress and firm up under pressure, providing more support where needed.
Reality Check: This “phase change” support concept is more debated. While the foam itself provides support, attributing significant variable support specifically to the copper particles within the foam matrix is difficult to prove outside highly controlled lab settings. The primary support comes from the foam structure and density.
Verdict on Copper: It offers a tangible, albeit moderate, improvement in temperature regulation compared to basic memory foam and provides potential (though hard to measure day-to-day) antimicrobial benefits. Consider it an incremental upgrade, not a revolutionary cooling solution.
Flippable firmness needs, Side sleepers (Soft), Couples
Value seekers, Long trial preference
Zoned support needs, Back sleepers
Unique grid feel, Hot sleepers
Layla vs. Nectar: Nectar offers incredible value with frequent bundles, a year-long trial, and a solid medium-firm feel many find agreeable. Layla counters with flippable firmness and potentially better cooling via copper, appealing to those needing softer options or more temperature regulation than basic gel foam.
Layla vs. Casper Original: Casper features zoned support, designed to be firmer under the hips and softer under the shoulders, which many back sleepers appreciate. Its feel is more neutral foam than classic memory foam. Layla offers deeper memory foam contouring (on the soft side) and the flippability Casper lacks.
Layla vs. Purple Original: Purple is unique with its GelFlex Grid, offering instant response, excellent cooling, and pressure relief without the memory foam “sink.” Its feel is distinct and polarizing – some love it, some don’t. Layla provides a more traditional (though enhanced) memory foam experience with better motion isolation.

This covers manufacturing defects, including sagging or body impressions deeper than 1 inch that are not associated with an improper foundation. Normal softening of foam over time is not covered. Retain proof of purchase. This long warranty term reflects confidence in the materials’ durability.
Value Assessment: Considering the flippable design (essentially two mattresses in one), copper infusion technology, quality foam densities, free shipping, a 120-night trial, and a lifetime warranty, the Layla Memory Foam Mattress offers strong value in the competitive mid-range market. While not the cheapest option, its features and policies justify the price point for the right sleeper.
Expert Insight: Reading Warranty Fine Print “A lifetime warranty sounds great, but always understand the specifics. Coverage typically prorates after a certain number of years, and proving a defect often requires specific measurements and photographic evidence. Ensure your foundation meets Layla’s requirements (solid platform, slats no more than 3″ apart) to keep the warranty valid.” – Dr. David Chang, MD, Sleep Medicine Specialist
Layla Mattress: The Pros & Cons (Based on Our Testing)
Pros
Flippable Firmness (4/10 & 7/10): Offers versatility for changing needs or preferences, accommodating a wider range of sleepers than single-firmness beds.
Excellent Pressure Relief (Soft Side): Deep contouring effectively cradles hips and shoulders, ideal for side sleepers.
Superb Motion Isolation: Minimal motion transfer makes it a great choice for couples.
Above-Average Cooling for Memory Foam: Copper infusion and airflow foam help mitigate heat retention better than traditional memory foam.
Quality Materials & CertiPUR-US® Certified: Respectable foam densities and certified low-VOC foams suggest good durability and safety.
Generous Trial (120 Nights) & Lifetime Warranty: Provides significant peace of mind and long-term value assurance.
Removable, Washable Cover: Enhances hygiene and ease of maintenance.
Cons
Edge Support is Only Fair/Average: Significant compression when sitting, some roll-off potential when sleeping near the edge.
Slow Response Time: Classic memory foam feel can make moving or changing positions slightly more effortful; lacks bounce.
Firm Side May Be Too Firm for Some: The jump from Soft (4/10) to Firm (7/10) is substantial. Those seeking a true medium might find neither side perfect.
Not Ideal for Heavy Stomach Sleepers: Even the Firm side may lack sufficient support to prevent hip sinkage for individuals over 230 lbs sleeping prone.
Moderate Off-Gassing: Initial odor requires a few days of airing out.
Do I need a special foundation for the Layla mattress?
No, but you need a supportive base. Layla recommends a solid platform bed, a slatted base with slats no more than 3 inches apart, or a traditional box spring in good condition (ensure it’s supportive, not sagging). Using an inadequate base can void the warranty.
Can I feel the copper in the foam?
No, the copper particles are infused within the foam at a microscopic level. You won’t feel any metallic texture or hardness. Its effects (cooling, antimicrobial) are designed to be integrated into the foam’s performance.
How easy is it to flip the Layla mattress?
It requires effort, especially for larger sizes (Queen: 80 lbs, King: 104 lbs). Having two people makes flipping much easier and safer to avoid injury or damaging the mattress. Handles on the sides would be a welcome addition.
How does the Layla return process work if I don’t like it?
After the initial 2-week break-in period (but before 120 nights), contact Layla customer service. They will coordinate with a local charity or recycling partner to pick up the mattress from your home at no charge. Once pickup is confirmed, Layla issues a full refund to your original payment method.
Is the Layla mattress good for back pain?
It can be, depending on your needs and which side you use. The Firm side generally offers better spinal support, crucial for alleviating some types of back pain, particularly for back and stomach sleepers. The Soft side’s excellent pressure relief might benefit those with pain exacerbated by pressure points (like hip pain). Consult a doctor for chronic back pain.
How long does the Layla mattress take to fully expand?
While it typically expands to near its full size within a few hours of unboxing, Layla recommends allowing 24-72 hours for it to reach its final shape, firmness, and for any residual off-gassing to dissipate.
Is the Layla Hybrid better than the Layla Memory Foam?
The Layla Hybrid incorporates pocketed coils for added bounce, stronger edge support, and potentially better airflow. It’s generally better for heavier individuals, those wanting bounce, and potentially hotter sleepers. However, it comes at a higher price point and won’t isolate motion quite as well as the all-foam version. The choice depends on individual priorities.
The Final Verdict: Is the Layla Mattress Right for You?
After extensive testing and analysis, the Layla Memory Foam Mattress stands out as a high-quality, innovative option in the crowded bed-in-a-box market. Its flippable firmness is its most compelling feature, offering genuine versatility that caters to shifting preferences or different primary users over time. The Soft side (4/10) delivers exceptional pressure relief, particularly for side sleepers, while the Firm side (7/10) provides robust support suitable for back and stomach sleepers.
The copper-infused memory foam performs commendably, offering better temperature regulation than standard memory foam and excellent motion isolation, making it a strong contender for couples. While the edge support is merely average and the memory foam feel lacks bounce, these trade-offs are common for all-foam designs.
Backed by a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty, Layla demonstrates confidence in its product and offers significant consumer protection. Considering its features, performance, and policies, the Layla mattress provides excellent value for its mid-range price point.
