Weirdly comfortable
It's admittedly a bit early to review this mattress, having only slept on it for a week now. But I wanted to share my thoughts since I had initially purchased a Modway and returned it to get this mattress.
First, I'll say this - Amazon tells you to give this up to 72 hours to fill up, so I actually called customer service to ask whether you really needed to wait that long. The answer is no - the mattress can fill out in as little as 2 hours (mine sure did), and even if it doesn't fill all the way right away, it doesn't hurt it if you sleep on it. So said the folks at Tuft & Needle.
Second...
This mattress does not immediately feel like the most comfortable thing in the world. The Modway I'd just returned was a memory foam mattress with a cooling gel pad, and when you got into it, it immediately felt super comfy. I could lay on my side and my back and both ways felt phenomenal. But when my wife slept on it, she sank WAY down. And she'd wake up with terrible back pain.
So when I set up my new Nod mattress...and tested it out...it felt strangely rubbery. It didn't feel immediately soft OR firm (they say medium, and I suppose that's pretty much what it is). It also doesn't let you sink in - at all. With the memory foam mattress (Modway) I barely felt my wife moving on the other side. With this one, I do kind of feel it - but not as much as you would with an innerspring mattress.
Laying on the mattress, again, it doesn't immediately feel like the most comfortable thing in the world, but both my wife and I have slept incredibly well on it. I wake up feeling refreshed, rested...and no pain for either of us! I sleep on both my back and my sides, in case you're a side/back sleeper & you're wondering...
It also sleeps MUCH cooler than both my former innerspring mattress and the Modway, which supposedly has some sort of a cooling gel layer. With both of those, I woke up uncomfortably hot at least once or twice during the night. With this mattress, no such issue. So...older women rejoice! No more crazy night sweats on this thing.
So...that's pretty much my experience so far.
Here's a summary:
GOOD STUFF:
1. don't feel your partner's movement as much as on an innerspring mattress, but do feel it a bit more than a memory foam mattress.
2. doesn't get hot - at all. No night sweats ladies!
3. wake up feeling refreshed, no aches & pains
4. can use it pretty much right away, within a couple of hours - no need to wait 72 hours
NOT SO GOOD STUFF:
1. doesn't "feel" immediately comfy, especially if you're a side sleeper. Not sure how much that matters since my sleep quality has been amazing so far.
2. you do feel a LITTLE bit of your partner's movement on the bed...then again, my wife has not had to adjust as much on this mattress, so what little movement you would feel is reduced.
Overall, I highly recommend this mattress so far. I'll update in a few months if anything changes.
