Lori Beds is a U.S.-based manufacturer of Murphy beds, a space-saving bed type that’s designed with hinges, allowing it to be folded into a wall, cabinet, or shelving when not in use. The Lori Bed, the company’s only current Murphy bed model, features a wooden design that folds into wall-mounted shelving. The bed comes in twin and queen sizes with either vertical or horizontal orientations, meaning you can sleep parallel or perpendicular to the wall it’s mounted on.
The company also sells the Lori Mattress, which is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Lori Bed. The mattress contains memory foam comfort layers and a pocketed coil support core. It was specially engineered to withstand the wear and tear that can occur when folding and unfolding the bed. Although the mattress is meant to accommodate Murphy beds, it can also be used with a regular bed frame.
We tested the Lori Mattress in our sleep lab across a variety of performance categories, including pressure relief, motion isolation, and temperature control. We’ll share our results, then cover other important purchasing information, such as shipping and sleep trial policies.

SMART MATCHING
Is the Lori Right for You?
Use the filters below to see how well the Lori lines up with your unique needs. We'll also give you a couple other recommendations based on your answers.
TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Lori Scored
Motion Isolation6.0/10
The Lori Mattress offered average motion isolation during our lab tests. The memory foam comfort system absorbs some movement and the coils within the support core are wrapped individually. This pocketed coil design minimizes motion transfer by allowing the coils to compress separately from one another.
Despite the memory foam layers and the pocketed coil design, you should expect some motion transfer while sleeping on this mattress. If you are a light sleeper who shares the bed with a sleep partner, you may wake from your partner’s movements.
Pressure Relief6.5/10
Designed with two memory foam layers, the Lori Mattress provides very good pressure relief. The top layer contours closely to relieve pressure point discomfort by adapting to your body’s shape.
The bottom memory foam layer has a slightly firmer feel and is engineered to evenly disperse weight. Together, the two layers within the comfort system cradle the body without sacrificing significant support.
Temperature Control7.0/10
Hybrid mattresses tend to perform better than all-foam mattresses when it comes to temperature control, due to airflow through coils in the support core. The Lori Mattress regulates temperature fairly well, but the memory foam layers retain heat to a degree that some hot sleepers may find uncomfortable.
The top memory foam layer includes gel infusions designed to draw warmth away from the body. However, the mattress does not stay as cool as hybrid models that feature comfort systems made from more temperature-neutral materials like latex.
This bed should feel comfortable if you don’t sleep hot, but it may be too warm for those in hot climates or for people seeking a cooling mattress.
Edge Support8.0/10
The Lori Mattress is designed with durability and edge-to-edge support in mind. The perimeter is reinforced with sturdy coils to help ensure that you can use the whole mattress without rolling off. The bed is also hand-tufted to keep the layers in place when the mattress is stored upright. This helps maintain the bed’s overall integrity and sturdiness.
Though this mattress didn’t achieve perfect marks during our edge support tests, the strong perimeter will still benefit people with limited mobility and those who frequently sleep or sit near the edge of their bed.
Ease of Movement7.0/10
During testing, we found it fairly easy to move around on this mattress, though our testers reported that the surface does inhibit some movement. The memory foam comfort layers are designed to compress easily and absorb motion, which can make it difficult to move on top of this mattress without sinking slightly.
The coil support core offers enough bounce and support to keep you situated atop the mattress, but it is not as responsive and bouncy as some competing hybrid mattresses.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
The Lori Mattress has pressure-relieving qualities that helped many side sleepers stay comfortable during our tests, with a medium firm (6) feel that supports the body from head to toe.
The bed proved to be a bit too firm for side sleepers on our team who weigh under 130 pounds, since their weight didn’t compress the layers enough to receive the memory foam’s full benefits. However, those above 130 pounds gave the mattress high ratings. The memory foam cushioned their hips and shoulders while the pocketed coil support core prevented their midsections from sinking and causing spinal misalignment.
Back Sleepers
The best mattress for back sleepers is one that balances support and pressure relief. The Lori Mattress offers this balance for back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. The memory foam provides just the right amount of cushioning to relieve pressure buildup in the joints, and the sturdy coils support the lower back and maintain spinal alignment.
Back sleepers under 130 pounds may find the bed too firm, while those over 230 pounds might not receive enough support.
Stomach Sleepers
During our tests, the Lori Mattress was most comfortable for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. We found it was firm enough to prevent these sleepers from sinking too deeply into the bed. It was also sufficiently firm for some stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds, though some testers in this weight group found the bed too soft.
Stomach sleepers over 230 pounds need significant support to keep their midsection from sinking into the mattress, and the Lori Mattress is too soft to achieve this.
