Review
When it comes to mattresses—it’s like Shrek said about ogres, it’s ALL about the layers. With the Novaform mattress, not only does it have three different layers, but it also has a variety of layered features that can truly set this product apart from the rest.
In this section, we’re going to go through the individual details of each of these features to help you take a closer look at—and dive into (quite literally)—your possible dream mattress.
Layers and filling
With a premium three-layer construction, the Novaform mattress takes comfort to a “whole new level”—quite literally.
This mattress is designed with three layers of premium construction to help you sleep in comfort as well as an intricate pattern that has been carefully perfected to suit the masses—no matter what kind of position you sleep in.
Here’s a breakdown of the layers:
The first layer is the base, designed with 8 full inches of foam, which can help give you the deep support and stability you’re looking for. Unfortunately, the foam base doesn’t include a box spring.
The second, middle layer is a 3-inch air channel foam piece, which allows optimal airflow throughout the center of the mattress. This sort of airflow can also help with keeping a consistent, comfortable, and cool temperature, which can overall aid in sleep—both quality and duration.
The last layer, the top, is a 3-inch gel memory foam piece, which helps kick comfort up a notch. Uniquely designed with your body in mind, the gel memory foam not only provides you with a cooler surface to lie in, but it also conforms to your body. This flexibility allows for a more cradling-focused material, which can be the support you’re looking for.
Thickness and firmness
Thickness makes a huge difference when it comes to comfort.
The Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is 14 inches thick in total, measuring all the three layers we just mentioned.
You need to specifically pay extra attention to the thickness of a mattress since that size can make a difference when it comes to being able to actually fit in your bed frame.
With all those extra inches of material, from the 8-inch base layer, 3-inch air channel foam to the 3-inch gel memory foam, you can rest assured that the ground covered will truly make a difference in comfort.
When it comes to firmness, the details of the mattress and how they coincide with how the sleeper actually reacts to them, every person sleeps differently. This also means that every person needs or wants a different type or level of firmness to be able to sleep optimally.
From sleeper to sleeper, the firmness can play a part in the quality of sleep, health, AND comfort—which can directly affect how long you sleep for.
When taking a closer look at the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress, the thicker, firmer mattress rates as middle-range, with a medium-grade firmness that statistically places it in the average of most mattresses on the market.
If we were to give it a number, we would give it around a 5 or 6 on a scale of 10.
The firmness of the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is perfect for sleepers who tend to find themselves more comfortable on their back. Since it’s quite firm, it can support the spinal alignment, reduce the pressure to the body, and give a high level of contouring to the body’s shape.
If you’re of average weight, you can expect minimal sinking—which is ideal when trying to avoid sleeping soreness the next day. If you do sleep on your stomach, you might need a bit of help from supportive pillows to find that optimal level of comfort if you’ve chosen the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress. If you’re a side sleeper, you might want to take a look at other mattresses, since this one might be firm.
Motion transfer
Since this mattress is considered to be quite firm on the scale, you can expect that the motion transfer between sleeping partners will be minimal!
If you’re investing in this mattress for you and your partner, you’ll be happy to know that this mattress is great for partners—since the motion transfer is not as bad as it would be with other mattresses on the market.
Especially if you’re sleeping next to someone who moves around a lot during the night, then you will definitely appreciate a mattress with little-to-no motion transfer.
Noise
When it comes to noise, the three-layer foam insulation of this mattress will keep that sort of noise disturbance during the night minimal!
This is ideal for someone sleeping with a partner who moves throughout the night and normally wakes you up!
Temperature regulation
Especially if you’re someone who tends to sleep with a higher temperature, perhaps even waking up to night sweats, then you need a mattress that can help cool your body down.
This kind of cooling regulation of temperature can generally be found in mattresses that have optimal airflow and high breathability. Although foam mattresses generally tend to have a bad reputation when it comes to airflow, the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress does not!
Since the middle layer is a 3-inch air channel foam piece, you can expect actually optimal airflow throughout the center of the mattress. The top layer also helps play a role since it has gel foam that can advance the cooling effect and lock-in moisture.
Cover
With every Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress, the product is then finished off with a standard, US mattress cover, queen size. The cover is not only a great product to help keep the mattress protected, but also can help with the cooling process mentioned above, with its gel bead consistency.
Inflation time and smell
Although some people enjoy that “new” product smell, you’ll be happy to also know that the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress’ new smell is completely harmless. If you do notice it initially, also be aware that it will go away or reduce in a short amount of time.
Before adding the cover and sheets to it, however, we would recommend airing it out after unpacking and unfolding.
Edge support
Especially during the day or if you’re an edge-of-the-mattress sleeper, you’ll need to know how much you can count on the edges of the mattress!
With the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with its firm build—making it supportive enough to sit on during the day and as you wake up.
Durability
Designed to last you with a lifespan of around 20 years, the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is built to support you for a lifetime of sleep.
Not only is the durability in its design, but the quality of the material also plays a part in its encouraged, long lifespan.
Made out of environmentally-safer materials that help promote a sleeper’s health, the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is one hundred percent hypoallergenic. This means that you won’t have to worry much about the buildup of dust and other harmful allergens.
Certification
As a brand-backed product, the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is completely certified and ready to use, right out of the package.
From its standard US, queen-sized cover to all three layers of the mattress, the certification also goes into the manufacturer’s warranty. Depending on the seller, the certification will not only mention the warranty, which we’ll get into next, but it can also offer a sleep trial of around 100 days.
If you have more questions about the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress’ certification, then feel free to visit Novaform’s website.
Warranty
When purchased directly from the manufacturer, you’ll receive a warranty of 20 years, with protection against manufacturing defects.
This means that you can go back to the original buyer (if it’s in direct relation with Novaform), and go back during this time period to replace or repair your defective mattress or defects in your mattress. If the manufacturer doesn’t have the same mattress available, it will supply you with a replacement of equal or higher value!
However, the loophole here in the warranty is that it can only be replaced ONCE, which means if you have another defect within the 20-year period after it’s already been replaced or repaired, then you won’t be able to get another repair or substitution again.
The warranty also is only limited to the foam layers—and doesn’t include the cover of the mattress. You also will have to pay for the delivery and transportation.
And finally, you won’t be able to ask for a repair or replacement if you simply are unhappy due to: “comfort preference, slight body impressions, imperfections of the fabric cover, or improper use or care.”
Price tag
Last but certainly not least is the important aspect of how much this mattress will set you back.
Fortunately, the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress is actually rated at quite a reasonable price of around $700, depending on the manufacturer and seller. You also need to keep in mind the factoring in of shipping and handling.
Although it’s not necessarily a “budget-friendly” mattress, the mattress covers 20 years of warranty, with memory foam technology is not too expensive when compared to other brands in its class.
Finally, we’re going to go through some last-minute, quick pros and cons of the Novaform Comfort Grande Mattress:
