Our Verdict
Novaform Legacy
Silk & Snow Mattress
The Silk & Snow Mattress and Novaform Legacy are both affordable models, but beyond that, they're pretty different, and you may prefer either depending on your sleeping position and preferences. The Silk & Snow is a Medium-Plush all-foam option best suited to side sleepers, while the Novaform is a Firm hybrid that's better for most back and stomach sleepers. If you sleep with a partner, the Silk & Snow is a better pick thanks to its fantastic motion dissipation. On the other hand, if ease of movement is a priority for you, you may prefer the Novaform, since it's bouncier and more responsive. Both mattresses are cooling enough for hot sleepers, but neither provides great edge support.
