Vibe Mattress Review

The Vibe Gel Memory Foam Mattress offers above-average motion isolation.

The mattress doesn’t have any of the components that are usually responsible for transferring motion, such as bouncy latex or innerspring coils. Instead, the contouring memory foam and the high-density polyfoam base absorb any extra movements to prevent motion from traveling across the surface of the bed.

These attributes make the Vibe Mattress a solid choice for couples who are sensitive to each other’s movements.

The Vibe Gel Memory Foam Mattress stands out for its top-notch pressure relief.

Memory foam is known for its ability to conform to the sleeper, distributing weight and alleviating potential pressure points. With 2 inches of memory foam and 3 inches of relatively close-conforming polyfoam, the Vibe Mattress forms an effective cradle to relieve painful or sore spots.

Because it is relatively plush, the Vibe Mattress provides the best pressure relief for side sleepers and those who weigh less than 130 pounds.

The Vibe Mattress is made with memory foam, a material that is notorious for trapping heat. With its medium soft feel, the mattress also conforms closely to the sleeper and leaves little room for heat to dissipate.

Gel infusions in the comfort system aim to improve temperature regulation in the Vibe Mattress by transferring heat away from the body. The support core is grooved to allow air to pass through. However, this mattress may still feel too warm for sleepers who struggle to stay cool at night.

As an all-foam model without added edge support, the Vibe Mattress falls a little short in this category. Those who sleep near the edge of their bed may have the sensation of slipping off the mattress.

Edge support refers to the amount of reinforcement around the perimeter of the mattress, and it’s an important consideration for sleepers who rely on the edges to get in or out of bed. Reinforced edge support can also make the surface of a bed feel larger by allowing sleepers to use the entire surface area of the mattress.

Those who sleep with a partner may want to consider a larger-sized Vibe Mattress to compensate for the weak perimeter.

The Vibe Gel Memory Foam Mattress offers fair ease of movement. The close-conforming memory foam is not as bouncy as other materials and it allows sleepers to sink in quite far, meaning some individuals may struggle to switch positions on this mattress.

Combination sleepers and sleepers with mobility issues generally prefer mattresses made with more responsive materials, such as latex or hybrid models.

Couples may find that the Vibe Mattress limits movement during sex. Bouncy and responsive mattresses tend to be best for sex, as these surfaces enhance motion. By contrast, foam is a material that tends to absorb motion. This can make it difficult for couples to move around easily or change positions.

Still, the mattress does have a few advantages for sex. The foam comfort system provides traction. Additionally, the Vibe’s silent all-foam construction is discreet.

Similar to other foam mattresses, the Vibe may produce some off-gassing odors when it is first unboxed.

Off-gassing refers to the scent associated with new mattresses. This is a byproduct of the foam manufacturing process, which produces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are then released into the air.

VOCs are not considered harmful, and the Vibe Gel Memory Foam Mattress is composed using CertiPUR-US certified foams that have been tested and found to be low in VOCs. Nevertheless, sleepers who are sensitive to odors may want to let the mattress air out for a few days before sleeping on it.
