Compare Mattresses

What should I compare when
shopping mattresses?

It isn’t always obvious what makes a mattress a good value, so we’ve identified the most important things that will tell you if the mattress you want to buy is a good deal or not.

Top 5 things to look for when comparing memory foam mattresses

Comparing memory foam mattresses can be tough and confusing. But there is one mattress specification that matters most, and a few other things that provide value and bring peace of mind to your mattress purchase.

Memory Foam Density

Foam density is the one mattress specification that says a whole lot about the quality, performance, and durability you can expect from a mattress. Not all memory foam is the same. In fact, there is a very wide range of memory foam grades and they vary drastically in quality, durability, and price. Like knowing what size the engine is in the car you buy, it’s critical to know what the is of the mattress you buy so you know what to expect in terms of performance and longevity.

Made in the USA? Or no?

Not only is this important if you want to support our domestic economy, but when you buy a mattress online, it’s compressed, rolled, and boxed for shipping. This doesn’t hurt the mattress, but if left in a compressed state for a long period of time, various defects up to significant irreversible degradation of the memory foam may occur.

When a mattress company does not assemble your mattress here in the United States, it may have been shipped over from China where it was compressed several weeks or even months ago, then sent to the USA and held in a warehouse for a period of time before you buy it. Made in the USA ensures proper handling times and optimal foam quality.

Number of Mattress Layers

While more layers doesn’t always equal a better mattress, when the foams in each mattress being compared are of the same grade density, a mattress with more layers will generally offer better support and a longer life. A flippable mattress (or dual-sided mattress) with a memory foam layer on either side of the mattress adds a unique comfort aspect overall with the flexibility to change up firmness whenever you like, a benefit to consider that provides a lot of value.

Trial Period and Returns

Be sure that any mattress brand you consider has a clearly stated trial period that provides enough time for your body to adjust to sleeping on a new mattress. Depending on the person, it can take the human body up to 3 weeks to adjust to a new mattress, especially after sleeping on an old or worn mattress for a prolonged period of time. This is called the break in period, and be sure the trial period covers at least 3 weeks to do a proper sleep assessment.

Most reputable mattress brands offer free returns by way of donation of your gently used mattress to a local charity which typically takes a couple of weeks for a charity to come out and pick up. It’s well worth it to be able to try a mattress in your own bedroom to see if you like it, but be sure to review the full return policy to confirm there are no fees or deductions for returns and you get a full purchase refund.

Warranty Period

The length of the warranty period can speak to how confident a mattress brand is in their mattress build. Mattress industry standards for usable mattress life is about 8 years, and that’s the minimum warranty period you should accept when buying a mattress. Anything less could mean that the mattress is made from materials with a short life expectancy, or the company is unwilling to back it long term. Be sure to read through the full terms so you understand what’s covered and what’s not covered under the mattress warranty as these will vary from brand to brand.

Layla Special Mattress

What makes a Layla
mattress different?

Straight away, our memory foam and hybrid mattresses are flippable and copper infused, something the majority of other mattress brands do not offer. Copper infused will sleep cooler and cleaner with adaptive support properties to keep your head, neck, and shoulders properly aligned while you sleep.

It’s flippable. Having the option to flip your mattress to the other side and sleep on it with a different firmness level is something we absolutely had to have in our mattresses. Why? Because your preferences and your needs change over time, and we want your mattress to change with you.

LAYLA Mattresses

Benefits of a copper-infused flippable mattress

Flippable and copper-infused for cooler, cleaner, and more supportive sleep. Higher density foams, 2 copper-infused foam layers, and a double sided cover with beautiful material. More than great benefits for your sleep, our premium foams will last longer and retain their support properties better over time.

Mattress FAQ

We’re glad you asked. There are two main reasons why Layla® beats the competition. First, Layla® is flippable. Because there are two different firmness levels on either side of the mattress, it’s like getting 2 beds in 1. And second, copper gel infusion is amazing and gives you a mattress that is cooler, cleaner, and more supportive. We also use high quality foam and fabric in the Layla® Mattress, so you’re getting more for your money and a mattress that’s built to withstand years of nighttime activities.

Typically, the answer is yes. But keep in mind that an improper or worn out base or placing your mattress directly on the floor will impact the feel of the mattress significantly. Box springs are great if they are not worn or sagging. Slatted bases are fantastic as long as the slats are no more than 4” apart. And Layla® conforms perfectly to adjustable bases. If you have any questions about your base, check out the Layla® Foundation as a great example or feel free to start up a chat and ask us anything you want.

If you’re not satisfied with the mattress for any reason, simply fill out the form on laylasleep.com/returns with your order number and the reason for your return. Your Layla® Mattress will be picked up from you as is, so there’s no need to save the box or repackage the mattress. We partner with local non-profits and charitable organizations to re-purpose your returned mattress, so you know it’s not going to waste. There are no fees deducted from your refund and you will receive 100% of your money back. Shipping fees to Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska are non-refundable, but hey, if you live in such a cool place we’re sure you’ll see the glass as half full.

We offer an unprecedented lifetime warranty on all materials and workmanship. Why? Because we built your mattress to last. The warranty covers sagging of more than 1”, loss of shape, and loss of mattress height. The warranty is non-transferable, so second hand Laylas®, black market Laylas®, and mysterious hand me downs are not covered.

Once you place your order, we get right to work on crafting your mattress. For shipping times, please refer to the time estimate on the product detail page. You can find the most recent ship times near the add to cart button in this format: “SHIPS in XX Business Days.” Once shipped, it will take anywhere from 2-5 business days to land at your doorstep, depending on where you are.
