Awara Mattress Review

The Awara provides roughly average motion isolation, which means that it helps reduce but may not fully eliminate motion-based disruptions at night. The reason for this is that the bounce of both the coils and the latex means that there’s a higher degree of motion transfer than on a memory foam bed or a hybrid with a memory foam based comfort system.

Despite this, the latex and the individually-wrapped coils can cut down on enough motion transfer to maintain comfortable and disturbance-free sleep for the majority of couples. Motion transfer is most likely to be a problem for people who are easily awoken and share a bed with someone who moves frequently in their sleep.

The Awara offers sleepers average to above-average pressure relief.

The primary source of this pressure relief on the Awara is the 4-inch layer of Dunlop latex. This material lightly cradles the body, helping soften impact at and around key parts of the body. The pocketed coils supplement the bed’s ability to match its cushioning to the body’s needs.

However, people who find that they need deep contouring for pressure relief may find the Awara to be lacking. Sleepers who want only modest conforming, including most back and stomach sleepers, find that the Awara helps promote healthy spinal alignment.

Temperature regulation is a clear strength of the Awara mattress.

Each component of the bed’s design makes it appealing for hot sleepers. The top layers of organic cotton and wool are both naturally effective at temperature control thanks to their moisture-wicking abilities. Latex resists significant heat buildup, especially in comparison to the foams used in most mattress comfort systems. The coil-based support core allows for an abundance of ventilation, preventing heat retention in the thickest part of the mattress.

Lastly, the mild contouring of the Awara means that the mattress never suffocates the body by cutting off airflow and increasing body temperature. All of these factors contribute to making the Awara a compelling choice for people who tend to sleep hot.

Customers report that the Awara has solid edge support that is at least as strong as most other hybrid mattresses. The sturdiness of the coils combined with the reliability and responsiveness of latex helps hold up the edge of the Awara.

While customers will still find some increase in compression around the perimeter, they rarely will find that it poses problems with sleeping or sitting at the edge of the bed.

Changing sleeping positions is nearly effortless on the Awara mattress. The innerspring support core and latex comfort system both deliver a significant amount of responsiveness that permits movement on the bed.

In addition, the medium firm comfort feel means that sleepers don’t sink too far into the mattress, preventing a “quicksand” feeling that can restrict movement.

The top two mattress components for sex are widely considered to be latex and innerspring coils. Not surprisingly, then, the Awara, which is built with those two components, is above-average to excellent for facilitating sexual activity. In addition, the durability of the 4-inch thick layer of natural latex means couples can maintain an active sex life without having to worry about putting excess stress on the mattress.

These factors make the Awara a great choice for couples who place an emphasis on a mattress that is conducive to a vibrant sex life.

There is very little off-gassing from the Awara mattress. None of the materials in the bed are known for off-gassing, and the use of natural materials tends to cut down on this issue.

Latex can have a light smell that may be noticeable when the mattress is first removed from its packaging and set up in your home. This smell doesn’t pose any dangers and should not last more than a few hours if your bedroom is well-ventilated.
