Night 1July 2025

Solid value out of the box. Foam construction delivers reliable pressure relief and motion isolation, though cooling is average.

→Edge support weaker than hybrids — 2.8" compression under load
→Off-gassing moderate at 24hrs

30 DaysAugust 2025

Expected foam break-in occurred. Feels slightly softer than advertised firmness after settling.

→ILD measured at 31 post-break-in vs 34 at unboxing — foam softening within normal range
→Motion isolation remained strong throughout trial
→No durability concerns at 30 days

6 MonthsJanuary 2026

Minor body impressions forming at the 6-month mark — within spec but worth monitoring.

→Body impression depth: 0.6" — approaching the 0.75" threshold for concern
→Support slightly reduced compared to night 1 readings
→Cooling performance unchanged — still runs warm

The Science Behind It

Peer-Reviewed

Our scores aren't opinions — every claim is anchored to published sleep science research.

Foam density below 4 lb/ft³ is associated with accelerated body impression formation — typically within 12–18 months of regular use.
