Molecule Copperwell Mattress Review

5/5 (Memory Foam) 4/5 (Hybrid)
The Molecule Copperwell features a foam based comfort system with a top layer of highly contouring memory foam. Memory foam typically provides excellent motion isolation. Motion isolation refers to how well a mattress prevents movement from transferring across its surface. This is an important metric for couples sharing a bed.

The Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam Mattress dampens nearly all movement. Keep in mind that the Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam model received higher marks in this category due to its all-foam construction. The Molecule Copperwell Hybrid offers very good motion isolation, but the slight bounce of the pocketed coil support core doesn’t isolate motion quite as well as the all-foam version.

The two beds in the Molecule Copperwell Mattress Collection feature an uppermost layer of memory foam. Memory foam is well-known for its ability to mold to the shape of your body and relieve potentially painful pressure points. The Molecule Copperwell’s comfort system is no exception. Both the Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam and Hybrid Mattress each offer substantial body-hugging and very good pressure relief.

3/5 (Memory Foam), 4/5 (Hybrid)
The Molecule Copperwell incorporates several design features to counteract the poor temperature control of traditional memory foam. Temperature control measures how well a mattress prevents heat build up as you sleep.

Memory foam which is highly contouring has a tendency to reduce air circulation and absorb body heat. However, the memory foam comfort layer of both the Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam and Hybrid Mattresses contain a copper and gel infusion designed to quickly dissipate body heat and keep your sleep surface cool. As a result, the Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam Mattress provides good temperature regulation for an all-foam mattress, but the Molecule Copperwell Hybrid scores slightly higher in this category.

Edge support refers to how well a bed can support your bodyweight at its perimeter. Strong edge support makes it easier to sit at the edge of your bed and also increases the usable surface area of your mattress, an important consideration for couples sharing a mattress.

Both models of the Molecule Copperwell Collection feature top layers of memory foam. The foam comfort layer does tend to cause some sagging when sitting on the edge of both the Molecule Coperwell Memory Foam and Hybrid. Neither bed performs as well as mattresses with firmer materials or a reinforced perimeter. However, each bed contains a sturdy support core that offers relatively good edge support.

Mattresses that are bouncier and more responsive make for easier movement on the sleep surface. Ease of movement may not be a high priority for all sleepers. However, those with reduced mobility may want a bed that makes it easier to change sleep positions and get in and out of.

The Molecule Copperwell Mattresses provides a good balance between ease of movement and motion isolation. While the contouring, foam-based comfort layers aren’t particularly bouncy, they provide enough resilience for good ease of movement.

Most couples use their bed for more than just sleeping and should consider how a bed may perform during intimate activities. Mattresses with more resilience and bounce tend to be better for sex. In contrast, mattresses that are highly contouring tend to stifle motion, making changing positions more difficult.

Both the Molecule Copperwell Memory Foam and Hybrid Mattresses offer average performance when it comes to sex. This is due to the Copperwell’s contouring features a memory foam comfort system that can hinder movement on the bed’s surface. However, the Molecule Copperwell line performs better than many other all-foam offerings in this category.

Each model of the Molecule Coperwell Mattress Collection contains substantial foam layers and are prone to moderate off-gassing. The mattress manufacturing process creates byproducts known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While VOCs aren’t harmful, they cause a noticeable odor.

Off-gassing odor generally occurs when you unpackage and decompress a new foam-based mattress for the first time. The Molecule Coperwell Memory Foam and Hybrid Mattress each give off an odor after unpacking, but the smell dissipates within a few hours.
