SweetNight CoolNest Pro   Review

The upper comfort layer is made of a type of gel bead-infused foam that doesn't align with all the properties of either polyfoam or memory foam. It's embedded with phase-change material, which absorbs and releases heat as it changes state. This addition gives the foam a density similar to standard memory foam, but with increased resilience and less of the typical slow-moving feel associated with it. That said, we've labeled this material as memory foam throughout this review.

The lower comfort layer is made of standard memory foam and helps create more of a contouring, hugging feeling. Below that, there are two layers of polyfoam: the transition layer and the support layer. These layers add resilience and make the mattress more responsive. Finally, there's a thick base layer of polyfoam. While it's separate from the support layer, it seems to be identical in type.

Most of the foam in this mattress just reaches the standard for good quality. The gel bead-infused foam in the upper comfort layer is dense enough to be considered good quality. Below that, the lower comfort layer is made of less dense, lower-quality foam. The polyfoam in the transition, support, and base layers is also dense enough to meet the standard for good-quality foam. Consequently, this mattress will resist sagging and permanent indentations longer than mattresses with more layers of low-quality foam, but its overall durability is still just passable.

The SweetNight CoolNest Pro provides very good body conformity. It's most conforming for heavier-weight sleepers who compress the mattress most. Side sleepers in this category will have plenty of cushioning around their hips, arms, and shoulders, which cushions the joints and helps keep the spine in a straight line. It offers impressive pressure relief for average-weight sleepers, too, making it a great choice for side sleepers in this category. Lighter side sleepers, on the other hand, will probably need a plusher option, though the comfort layers allow for enough sinking and contouring to offset the lack of body conformity for sleepers in this weight range.

The comfort layers are soft and enveloping. You sink past the upper comfort layer and into the memory foam below, as it contours your body closely. This gives the mattress a cozy hugging feeling, but it's not pronounced enough to make you feel stuck or constricted.

Lighter-weight people experience the most support from this mattress, though even for people in this weight range, support is just decent. Average-weight sleepers will find it reasonably supportive, though if you fall into this category, you may notice your hips sink too far, causing your spine to lose alignment. This effect is even more pronounced for heavier sleepers, who will get just passable support from this model.

Cooling is a strong point for the SweetNight CoolNest Pro. It transfers heat efficiently, keeping you cool as you fall asleep and throughout the rest of an eight-hour night. Even if you sleep hot or live in a hot climate, this mattress will keep you cool.

This mattress offers excellent motion isolation. Smaller movements, like your sleeping partner repositioning their pillow, aren't very noticeable. While you feel larger movements, like when your partner rolls over, they don't last long or travel throughout the mattress.

The gel bead-infused foam in the upper comfort layer is moderately resilient or bouncy. It's not particularly slow-moving, but it's not noticeably springy either, resulting in a fairly balanced feel. Below that, the memory foam lower comfort layer is much less resilient, which increases the mattress's contouring. The polyfoam transition, support, and base layers offer much more 'push back,' making the mattress more responsive and easier to move around on.

The mattress's surface recovers its shape very quickly when you compress it. This helps support your movements, making it easier to change sleeping positions.

This mattress is reasonably bouncy. It doesn't feel extremely springy, but it also avoids the sluggish, lifeless feel of many mattresses with memory foam.
