Editor's Note
• White Dove has been around since 1922. They primarily make spring hybrids with a solid construction, high density foams and overall balanced support.
• They have several models that vary in firmness, material quality, coil count and warranty periods (among other differences).
• One of our biggest issues with White Dove is the inability to purchase directly on their website. They're no doubt decent quality mattresses (to say the least), but your only chance of getting your hands on one is locally.
• The Saatva Classic luxury pocketed coil euro pillow top is an excellent alternative to BRAND. Saatva has top-notch 24/7 customer service (probably the finest in the business) and friendly policies.
Here are several relevant and useful comments from buyers considering or have already purchased White Dove Mattress.
• User 1: "Regrettably, the mattress is sagging after only two years. Like others have written, I relied on the 5-star reviews. The sagging hasn't caused discomfort yet, but it's quite dismaying to think of probably having to throw this in a landfill much earlier than I had hoped. It's a beautiful-looking mattress and I did not/do not want to get an innerspring mattress. All a bit disappointing."
• User 2: "I've had the mattress for not quite a year now, and it is already showing signs of sagging on the side that I sleep on. I am an average sized woman, about 150 pounds. I bought the mattress with high hopes that it would help my back pain, but I can attest that it has gotten worse since I've been sleeping on it. I got the 5 for firmness, and can't decide if I want to spend another. 200 dollars to try a firmer top, or to buy a different type of mattress."

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Whitedove mattress is extremely subjective.
Firmness isn't the only factor to consider when you're mattress shopping.
Choosing the right bed starts with figuring out how your body responds to lying at different angles.
It's important to understand how a mattress relieves pain and distributes pressure on your sensitive points (neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, arms, hips, legs), as well as how it feels for couples and sex.
COMFORT SUMMARY
Firmness is highly subjective and varies between individuals. What feels firm to one person might feel soft to another.
You should be wary of reviews that make definitive statements about how a mattress will make you feel while you sleep.
White Dove are premium mattresses with multiple firmness options. You can't buy them online so if you test in person, know that isn't the same 'feel' vs. in your own home.
EDGE SUPPORT
• Decently good edge support. Pocketed coils keep you firmly supported around the edges (good for couples).
Note: Edge support is a term used to describe how well mattress edges sustain concentrated weight without collapsing.
Good edge support is important. It helps your mattress last longer (less sagging) and creates a larger overall sleep surface (bonus for couples).
Don't be fooled by low-quality mattresses that appear to have good edge support at first. They break down faster and you'll end up with a bigger headache down the line.
SIDE SLEEPERS
• Your shoulders, hips and torso must evenly distribute support if you sleep on your side. Otherwise concentrated pressure causes long term nerve and pain-related issues.
BACK/STOMACH SLEEPERS
• When you sleep on your back & stomach, your biggest concern should be finding a mattress that keeps your hips from sinking too far in. This knocks your spine out of alignment.
• Fine choice for back and stomach sleepers alike. This mattress is padded well to prevent any sinking you would normally experience while still giving you the support you need throughout the night.

Support refers to how long the White Dove Mattress lasts over a reasonable expectation of 7-10 years (average mattress lifespan).

MOTION TRANSFER
Motion transfer measures how much movement changes between sides of the bed. You'll need a motion-isolating mattress if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night. Less motion means better sleep.
Effective movement transfer. The effect disappears fairly quickly. If you're not a light sleeper (easy to wake up), you won't notice your partner's movement.
