Our take

Flippable comfort with copper-infused cooling.

Alright, so the Layla Memory Foam Mattress is one of those beds that’s got this cool double-sided thing going on—like, you can flip it and get a different firmness, which is kinda neat. If you’re someone who can never decide if you like a soft or firm mattress, this could be a game-changer for you. The soft side’s got that classic memory foam hug, while the firm side gives more support without feeling like you’re sleeping on a rock. It’s a pretty clever design, really. Just remember, flipping a mattress isn’t as easy as it sounds if you’re doing it solo.

Now, the memory foam is infused with copper, and they claim it helps keep things cooler. I’m a bit skeptical about all these “cooling” promises because, let’s be real, foam mattresses tend to get warm. That said, it does seem to sleep cooler than some other memory foam beds I’ve tried. If you’re a hot sleeper, you might still want to keep a fan or an AC handy. But hey, at least you don’t wake up feeling like you’re stuck to a sauna mat.

Motion isolation is actually pretty solid on this mattress, which is a lifesaver if you’ve got a partner who tosses and turns a lot. You won’t feel like you’re riding a wave every time they move. On the flip side, edge support isn’t exactly its strong suit. If you sit on the edge of your bed a lot, you might notice some sagging. It’s not terrible, but it’s something worth mentioning if you like to perch on your bed like a bird.

Durability-wise, it seems like it’ll hold up well over time. People generally report it lasting them a good few years without sagging or losing its shape. Of course, this also depends on how often you switch sides and your weight distribution. It comes with a decent trial period and warranty too, which gives some peace of mind if you’re worried about long-term commitment. You get a bit of a window to make sure it’s the right fit.

At the end of the day, the Layla Memory Foam Mattress offers good value with its unique flippable feature and decent cooling ability. It’s not a magic bullet for every sleeper out there, but it’s got a lot going for it. If you’re okay with the tradeoffs like edge support and are intrigued by the dual firmness, it’s worth considering. Just be sure to weigh those pros and cons based on what matters most to you in a mattress. You’ll be spending a lot of time on it, after all!
