Our team at Sleep Foundation conducts extensive hands-on tests for each mattress to provide you with the most reliable, data-driven recommendations and reviews. Below are key guidelines that inform our testing methodology:
Our testers lie on the surface of each mattress to evaluate factors such as contouring and support. We also use specialized tools to measure performance criteria like pressure relief, heat retention, and motion isolation.
We test each mattress using various sleep positions to observe whether a mattress is better suited for side, back, or stomach sleeping. We roll around the surface and sit on the edges to gauge ease of movement and perimeter support.
We have tested hundreds of mattresses and bring years of experience in the mattress industry to the test lab. Our testing team covers a wide range of sleep preferences, sleep positions, and body types. This helps us represent as many sleeper types as possible in our reviews.

People who like the hug of memory foam may feel the Level Sleep Mattress’s polyfoam doesn’t conform closely enough
Based in the United States, Level Sleep produces multiple sleep products, including a pillow, a platform bed, an adjustable bed frame, and a mattress.
The Level Sleep Mattress, also called the Level Sleep TriSupport Mattress, is currently the company’s only mattress model. This all-foam bed uses a patented TriSupport design to provide targeted support and softness. To do this, the bed has three zones, each with a different firmness. However, the overall firmness of the bed rates at a 5 on the firmness scale.
This review will give more information on the Level Sleep Mattress to help you decide if it’s the best bed for you. We’ll cover its construction, pricing, and performance. Then, we’ll share highlights from customer reviews and summarize important company policies.

Level Sleep Video Review
Watch the video below to see how the Level Sleep Mattress performed when put to the test in our lab.
Mattress Performance
Motion Isolation
Because it uses responsive polyfoam, the Level Sleep Mattress doesn’t isolate motion to the same extent as other models that use memory foam.
The 3-inch layer of Energex gives the bed extra bounce, which could lead to some motion transfer. However, the 1-inch polyfoam top layer balances this by dampening motion, so most individuals are unlikely to notice significant vibrations when their partner moves.
Pressure Relief
Contouring from the Level Sleep Mattress’s polyfoam layers distributes the sleeper’s body weight more evenly to reduce pressure buildup. Zoning in the second layer of the mattress adds to this effect by allowing the shoulders and legs to sink in more while providing extra support for the back. Most foam mattresses tend to relieve pressure well, so the Level Sleep Mattress’s pressure relief is similar to many all-foam models on the market.
Temperature Control
While the Level Sleep Mattress may retain some heat, it should sleep cooler than many all-foam models. It is constructed entirely of polyfoam, which tends to be more breathable than memory foam. Additionally, the zoning in the second layer of the mattress limits sinkage, so surface-level airflow can help pull away excess heat. This degree of temperature regulation should be sufficient for most individuals, but those prone to sleeping hot may find it lacking.
Edge Support
All-foam models do not usually have reinforced edges, which may make the perimeter of the bed seem unstable for sitting and sleeping. The Level Sleep Mattress’s edges aren’t reinforced, but they have a sturdier feel than many all-foam models.
Its firm zone doesn’t permit much sinkage, but the head and foot ends of the bed compress more significantly. Some individuals may not feel secure enough to sleep near the edge of the bed, especially if they weigh more than 230 pounds. However, lighter individuals may find the edge stable enough to allow them to use the full surface of the mattress. Most people are also likely to feel secure enough when sitting on the edge of the firm section of the bed.
Ease of Movement
Since foam mattresses often conform closely to a sleeper’s body, they can be challenging for some individuals to move on. The Level Sleep Mattress rates higher in this category than many all-foam models due to its use of responsive polyfoam.
Polyfoam usually doesn’t contour as closely to the sleeper’s body as memory foam, and it tends to respond more quickly to changes in pressure. The Level Sleep Mattress uses entirely polyfoam, including 3 inches of Energex foam. This material is engineered to have similar responsiveness to latex, so it regains its shape more quickly than many materials. Most individuals will be able to change position on the Level Sleep Mattress without any problems, but people with mobility issues may find it more challenging.
Sex
Many couples feel that all-foam models don’t have enough bounce for sex, but the Level Sleep Mattress’s more responsive materials may help it perform better than some models. The second layer of the mattress uses 3 inches of Energex, which is crafted to have more bounce than most kinds of polyfoam. Additionally, contouring from the mattress’s top two layers can provide traction.
Off-Gassing
Most mattresses have a “new mattress smell” at first. This is particularly common in mattresses that contain foam and ship compressed, like the Level Sleep Mattress. These odors are usually the result of the manufacturing process, and they don’t have time to air out until the mattress decompresses in your home.
However, you can air out your mattress by leaving it in a well-ventilated room. Most odors should dissipate within a few hours to a few days.
The Level Sleep Mattress’s zoned support makes it a good match for side sleepers from all weight groups. It is soft near the head end of the bed, so a side sleeper’s shoulders can sink in more. The area near the hips and legs has a medium feel, allowing them to sink in a bit. Firm foam near the middle of the bed gives extra support for a side sleeper’s back and torso to help keep their spine in its natural alignment.
While side sleepers from any weight group may find the Level Sleep Mattress comfortable, they may experience the mattress differently. Side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds may be more likely to have some pressure buildup around their hips, while those who weigh over 230 pounds may sink in more than ideal around their shoulders and hips.
Back Sleepers
Because of its medium feel, the Level Sleep Mattress might be best suited for back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. The hips of back sleepers in this weight group should sink in a bit without sagging enough to put a strain on their spines. The firm midsection and the soft head end of the bed can also help keep lighter back sleepers’ spines properly aligned.
Back sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds may experience more strain near their lumbar region. The area near their hips has a medium feel, which may allow the sleeper’s hips to dip too deeply into the mattress. Since the head end of the bed has a soft feel, their shoulders may also sink excessively.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers frequently struggle to maintain their natural spinal alignment because extra weight near their hips and bellies can drag their midsections too deeply into the mattress.
Individuals who weigh under 130 pounds are unlikely to have issues on the Level Sleep Mattress, as the firm feel near the sleeper’s stomach area should give even support. Medium foam under the sleeper’s hips and legs and soft foam under the shoulders and head may allow these areas to sink in more, but this is unlikely to be significant enough to strain a lighter sleeper’s spine.
Stomach sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds are more likely to experience notable sagging at the head and foot end of the bed, which could put a strain on their lumbar regions.
Level Sleep Mattress Review Breakdown
The Level Sleep Mattress is an all-foam model constructed of three distinct layers. A cover constructed of polyester and rayon encases the mattress. This cover is stretchy enough to move with the mattress. It is also removable and washable. The top layer of the mattress uses 1-inch of Enduroplush HR Foam, which is a polyfoam engineered for pressure-relieving cradling.
Next, a 3-inch layer of zoned Energex polyfoam simultaneously acts as a comfort and transition layer. Energex is crafted to contour like memory foam but with more responsiveness and added bounce. This layer uses three firmness zones: the head and shoulder area has a soft (3) feel, the torso area has a firm (7) feel, and the leg area has a medium (5) feel. The sleeper’s shoulders and legs can sink in more, while their back gets extra support.
The support core consists of 7 inches of polyfoam. This layer is extra firm to reinforce the surface of the bed.
While the mattress has three separate firmness zones, its overall firmness is medium, rating around 5 on the 10-point firmness scale. This rating puts it on the softer end of the average range for mattresses.
