Summary
Thin gel memory foam, tight-top mattress than comes with a 20-year limited warranty.
Provides a decent, flat sleeping surface. Fine for a guest room.

Their customer service is excellent (probably the best of all brands) and their policies are generous.

User 1: "We bought this mattress for our grandson, but we immediately ran into conflicting setup instructions. The picture on the box shows the mattress on an elevated platform without a box spring. Also on the box, there is a label hat explicitly states, "This mattress is intended to be used WITHOUT A FOUNDATION" (in bold text). Adding to the confusion, the FAQs on this website say, "Your mattress is specifically designed for use with a box spring or a well ventilated platform foundation". We might just return it and get a normal mattress to avoid voiding a warranty."
The novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress is a medium comfort level (about a 5-6 on a 1-10 firmness scale).
Ideal for all sleep positions, including back, stomach and side sleepers. You'll have a balance of cushioning firmness (for back/stomach sleepers) and contouring support (if you're a primary side sleeper).
The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and relatively even sleep surface, too.
The novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress is adequate for side sleepers.
Make sure to choose their most plush option. If you're not sure which model it is, call or chat with them.
Expect tolerable support for sensitive pressure points (specifically your neck, shoulders, low back, hips). Foam on top relieves tension and pressure throughout the body fine.
NOTE: Make sure you have equally supported shoulders, hips, and torso if you sleep on your side. Otherwise, concentrated pressure can harm your nerves.
The novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress is okay for back and stomach sleepers.
Ensure to select their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) offering. If you're not sure which model it is, contact them.
Anticipate passable support for spinal and cervical alignment (specifically your low back). Relatively firm foams on the top layer keep your back straight surprisingly well.
NOTE: Focus on finding a mattress that won't sink too far into your hips when sleeping on your back & stomach. It'll throw your spine out of alignment.
The novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress has several layers worth exploring:
• Bottom Layer: foam for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: foam for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: tight-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: cooling cover which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: 29.3-40.6 lbs (queen size).
The novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress height is 8".
• Fair edge support because of its foam construction.
• Loom and Leaf is a staggeringly good alternative if you want dazzling edge support.
Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down FAST.
Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).
Expect very good motion transference because it has a foam construction.
You and your partner won't experience a single bit of motion transference, and explicitly won't wake you (whether you or your partner are heavy sleepers or not).
NOTE: Motion transfer measures how much movement shifts between sides of the bed. Get a mattress that offers effective motion isolation if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night.
A deeper sleep = happier life.
There are several noteworthy considerations with the Novaform return policy:
• there is no return policy information available.
• only toppers and cores can be exchanged for firmness and the shipping charges are the only charges involved. The exchange must be completed within 60 days.
Find a brand with an exchange policy that doesn't force you to pay high fees for making an honest mistake.
• has a 10-year limited warranty.
Look for warranties that have at least a 15-year period with no unreasonable limitations or transporation fees.
The price of the novaform 8 inch gel memory foam mattress queen size is $224.
