Yogabed Mattress Review

Motion isolation is a standout quality of the Yogabed mattress and foam mattresses in general. The all-foam construction of the Yogabed mattress includes responsive polyfoam and memory foam.

The memory foam in the comfort system absorbs movement easily and prevents it from transferring across the bed. This is beneficial for those who share the bed. Couples should not feel their partner change positions throughout the night.

Larger movements, like getting in and out of the bed, may be felt to a certain extent. This is due to the resilient polyfoam in the top layer and the medium firm rating. These contribute to ease of movement, but do not isolate movement as well as memory foam does.

The foam comfort system of the Yogabed mattress conforms to the shape of the body. These layers relieve pressure on the shoulders, back, and hips.

The top layer is a responsive polyfoam that relieves pressure for most. The second layer of memory foam provides deep compression support. It cushions areas that press into the mattress and prevents pressure points from developing. The support layers below keep sleepers from sinking into the mattress.

Since the Yogabed mattress is medium firm, it offers less pressure relief for side sleepers. People who sleep on their side typically benefit from a softer foam mattress, especially if they weigh less than 130 pounds.

Foam has a tendency to retain heat, so it is common for all-foam mattresses to have a lower rating in this category. This is true for the Yogabed mattress. Foam conforms closely to the body, responding to heat and pressure. This can restrict airflow and lead to sleeping hot. However, the Yogabed mattress is constructed to offset heat retention to a certain extent.

The cover of the Yogabed mattress incorporates Thermocool fibers, which help regulate temperature. The comfort layers of foam are ventilated so that air can circulate throughout the top of the mattress and dissipate heat. The memory foam layer is infused with gel, a highly conductive material that draws heat away from the body. These factors give the Yogabed mattress more of a temperature neutral feel.

While the Yogabed mattress may retain less heat than some memory foam mattresses, it may not be the best choice for hot sleepers.

The Yogabed mattress has an all-foam construction with a ten-inch profile. The mattress lacks a reinforced perimeter, and the foam comfort layers compress easily. Most foam mattresses lack edge support, and we consider the Yogabed mattress to be average in this category.

The medium firm rating and foam support core of the mattress help sleepers feel supported even when sleeping near the edge of the bed. Those who weigh less than 230 pounds find that they can comfortably sleep near the edge without feeling like they may roll off the bed. Those who weigh more than 230 pounds may feel less supported.

The lack of edge support is most noticeable when sitting on the edge of the bed. This is not ideal for those who need a supportive edge for getting in and out of bed. The foam sinks in near the edges and could sag over time.

Foam can inhibit movement, and the Yogabed mattress has an all-foam construction that responds to pressure. The Instant Response YogaFoam and memory foam in the comfort system conform to the shape of the body.

These foam layers return to their original shape faster than softer memory foam would, but still have minimal bounce. Sleepers who weigh more than 130 pounds will sink more deeply into the mattress and may feel restricted when changing positions.

Those who prioritize ease of movement, namely combination sleepers and couples, may benefit more from a latex or hybrid mattress.

The Yogabed mattress does not have much bounce, so some may find it more difficult to change positions during sex. This is a common drawback to foam mattresses, as the foam responds to pressure and returns to its original shape slowly.

The Instant Response YogaFoam is more resilient than traditional memory foam, but there is still memory foam in the second layer of the mattress. While memory foam can provide traction, it can also inhibit movement.

Additionally, the Yogabed mattress does not have as much edge support as a hybrid mattress would. As a result, couples may not feel comfortable using the entire surface area of the mattress.

One benefit of the Yogabed mattress is that it is completely silent when bearing weight. This makes it discreet during intimate activity.

There is an initial odor when the Yogabed mattress is unboxed. This is to be expected for any foam mattress, especially when it is compressed and vacuum-sealed.

Off-gassing is caused by a release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This is most noticeable when the mattress is new. The Yogabed mattress is CertiPUR-US certified and low in VOCs.

The initial smell of the Yogabed mattress should dissipate within 24 to 48 hours. Keeping the room well-ventilated will help.
