OkiSoft Mattress Review

Like many memory foam mattresses, the OkiSoft isolates motion well. Memory foam is known for absorbing motion and minimizing transfer across the surface.

Motion isolation is an important quality for people who share a bed. When a bed isolates motion well, sleepers are less likely to be disturbed by a partner, child, or pet moving on the surface during the night.

Pressure relief is a major strength of the OkiSoft Mattress, though a sleeper’s experience will depend on their body type and preferred position. The mattress offers a medium feel and close conforming to cradle the spine, support alignment, and alleviate pressure around the shoulders and hips. These qualities make it particularly comfortable for side sleepers.

Back and stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may also feel less pressure on the OkiSoft, but heavier people who use these positions will probably sink more and find the mattress less comfortable. These sleepers often need a firmer and more supportive mattress to reduce their pressure points.

Because of its all-foam construction, the OkiSoft Mattress tends to trap heat. Memory foam is known for holding onto body heat, and the polyfoam support core does not promote very much airflow compared to a coil system or ventilated latex layer.

Sleepers who tend to sleep very hot might want to opt for a cooler mattress. Although the mattress is encased in a cover of “Ice Yarn cooling fabric”, the bed might still absorb too much body heat for some people.

Like many softer all-foam beds, the OkiSoft doesn’t offer very strong edge support. The edges might buckle or fold when someone puts their body weight on or near them.

Edge support is important because it determines how much of the surface of a mattress is usable. Since the OkiSoft’s edges are soft, some sleepers might not be able to sit or sleep on the edge of the mattress without fear of sliding off.

Since the OkiSoft Mattress conforms so closely, movement across its surface can be difficult at times. Over time, the ultra-soft memory foam comfort layer may lose shape and develop indentations from the sleeper’s body. These impressions make it difficult to sit up or roll out of the mattress, since they take a few seconds to “bounce back.”

A bed that inhibits movement doesn’t pose a problem for all sleepers. Some people lie down and remain in one position throughout most of the night. However, sleepers who move more often in their sleep might experience disruptions if they have trouble rolling over. A mattress that inhibits movement can also make sex difficult.

Some sleepers might find that the OkiSoft makes movement difficult, which can affect sex. Mattresses that conform closely tend to inhibit movement more than responsive models, which facilitate more movement with their “bounce.” Changing sexual positions can feel more cumbersome on a bed that inhibits movement.

Edge support is another factor that affects sex on the OkiSoft. Since the edges of this bed are somewhat soft, sleepers might want to avoid them during sex. When the edges of a mattress are soft, couples may be isolated to the middle of the mattress for sex

The OkiSoft emits an off-gassing odor when it is removed from its packaging. These smells may persist for a few days, but they will eventually dissipate.

Off-gassing is the result of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) releasing from newly manufactured products. The initial odor from all-foam mattresses tends to be stronger than the smells from other mattress types.. Most people aren’t terribly bothered by off-gassing odors, but people who are particularly sensitive to smells should avoid the mattress the first day or two after it has been opened.
