We all know how hard it can be to function if we don’t feel well-rested. It’s harder to be positive and concentrate when you’re tired. Through the years I have slept on a number of different “traditional” mattresses, all second-hand, that ranged from old to even older. As an adult I had never had a brand new mattress of my own until this year, with the exception of a waterbed mattress we bought in the 90s at a discount department store for about $35. That waterbed mattress should have been my insight into what happens when you aren’t careful when purchasing a mattress. That mattress lasted three months.
Fast forwarding to present day, I now understand how important having a good mattress can be. But, there’s no reason that buying a good mattress should have to be a job. Typically, when you want to buy a mattress you need to go to a mattress showroom in your area, where a salesperson will do his or her best to sell you a product you might or might not need. I don’t think it’s right when a salesperson pushes a customer to buy something simply because it’s in stock, or because it will make him the largest commission. I believe people should be able to buy in peace, asking questions if needed, and wind up with a product they not only need but in the end appreciate. And don’t even get me started on getting something big like a mattress home. You might struggle with getting it home, tied own on the roof of your car overlapping all windows so you can barely see. Or, you might struggle to coordinate a delivery, which means figuring out who will be home for a chunk of a day. That’s not always easy with today’s busy lifestyle! Novosbed makes buying a quality mattress simpler.
Novosbed is an innovative company with an innovative product. Certified by CertiPUR-US, their mattresses are made of ultra-dense memory foam and designer-grade fabrics right here in the United States. Instead of offering dozens of choices like the traditional big mattress brands, Novosbed makes one mattress. The Novosbed memory foam mattress is available in three densities:
- Soft: For those that prefer a plush mattress without that quicksand feel
- Medium: A fine balance between support and comfort
- Firm: Pressure relieving with minimal sink-in for a more supportive feel
Each of the three is the same in regard to airflow, they only differ in how they are layered. The mattress can be purchased in any of six sizes (twin, twin XL, full/double, queen, king, and California King). Novosbed is only sold direct, cutting out the middleman and saving you the consumer money. There’s no need to coordinate delivery people as the mattress is shipped to your home in the US or Canada via FedEx Ground.
I selected a twin size Novosbed of medium firmness. The 11″ total thickness of the medium mattress consists of 2″ Ultra-Dense Airflow Memory Foam, 2″ Ultra-Dense Memory Foam and 7″ Premium Support Foam. The mattress arrives compressed, encased in vacuum-packed plastic. As it was the twin-size, I was able to easily bring the mattress into the house on my own.

I got the Novosbed mattress up onto my son’s old mattress and asked hubby to help me open it up (so I could take pictures).


I put one of my son’s stuffed animals next to the unwrapped Novosbed mattress for scale.

The first time you undo the plastic it allows the Novosbed to unroll. When you open the plastic up all of the way, the mattress can start to expand. The mattress took only 2-3 minutes to unfold and expand once I took it out of the wrap.

Here’s a brief video showing the unwrapping process.
The first feature that caught my eye is the removable ultra-soft stretch knit top cover. The top cover zips off, allowing you to wash it. Anyone who has experienced sweating during the night will appreciate this advantage that cannot be found in a traditional mattress. Once your bed has opened you are able to start enjoying it, but do be aware that the mattress can take up to 48 hours to fully expand. While you can sleep on it that day, do be aware that there can be an adjustment period when changing to a new mattress.

After 30 days if you are not totally thrilled with the level of firmness of your mattress, you can ask Novosbed to send you their Comfort+ kit, which is part of their Perfect Firmness Guarantee. The Comfort+ kit allows you to make your Novosbed slightly firmer or softer depending on your needs. This kit contains a 2 inch mattress topper, fabric sock and mattress cover extender. By using the extender, the additional topper sits right in the mattress, right where you place it. To use the kit you place the foam into the fabric cover. Next you unzip the removable top cover from the mattress. Then you place the kit’s extender onto the mattress, then place the Comfort+ mattress topper on. Finally, you put the removable top cover back onto the expander on the mattress.
The medium firmness mattress I chose has worked out perfectly. My son had been on a very inexpensive mattress up until the Novosbed arrived. He noticed the difference in the feel of the bed immediately, proclaiming his delight with a big “wow!”. He has slept soundly every night since. I did notice a difference in the height of the mattress, the Novosbed is actually higher than his old traditional mattress.
I checked out his mattress as well, and found it to be very comfortable. It’s easy to lay in the bed and have the mattress surround and support you without sinking down into a “valley” as was the case with his old mattress. The Novosbed has thousands of vertical air channels to help keep you cool while you sleep. I found that the mattress does hold heat a little bit more than his old traditional mattress. It isn’t a problem for us as he prefers to be cozy when he sleeps. I love knowing that he is sleeping comfortably at night, and that his body is getting the quality comfort and rest that it deserves.
When my son saw us putting the Comfort+ kit on he seemed a bit worried, as he really likes the bed. Once he realized that the kit was only to ensure he was as comfortable as possible he relaxed. I found it fascinating how the feel of the mattress could be changed so quickly. The only challenge I found after placing the kit on is that it made the mattress a bit taller still, which made getting the sheets a little more challenging to sit correctly. The removable ultra-soft stretch knit top cover of the mattress is very soft, the extra Comfort+ layer makes it even softer.
My son has been sleeping on the Novosbed for over two months now. The mattress has held its shape and kept its level of support the whole time. I am very impressed by the product. Novosbed offers folks like you and I the convenience of shopping from home and having the product delivered right to the front door. If you are wondering about quality, this should impress you. The company understands that the best way to try out a mattress is in the comfort of your own home, and not as a result of a decision made from sitting on a bed in a showroom for five minutes. You’ll have up to 120 nights risk-free to check out your new mattress, which includes free shipping and free returns. If you choose to keep your mattress you’ll be pleased to find that the mattress comes with a 15-year warranty. If for some reason your mattress doesn’t delight you and you choose to return it, that mattress will be donated to a charity upon its return.

That sounds super comfy! I would love to get one of these.
I’ve always been a big fan of plush mattresses, so I’d pick a soft Novosbed. I love to be wrapped up in a mattress.
I’m middle of the road type of girl when it comes to mattresses, so I’d pick a medium. Novosbed looks like a winner. Very high quality.
This sounds like a great mattress. I can’t believe it fit in that box. I like that you can try it for 120 risk-free.
I’ve seen so many people say great things about this mattress. It looks like a really good bed to have. I actually have seen great reviews, when it’s time to get a new mattress I’ll have to look into them for sure.
Wow, this is a really neat mattress and looks super comfy. I am glad you were able to test it out and share your thoughts with us!
This looks like a really comfy mattress! I need a new mattress for our guest room and this sounds like a good option.
How could it is that you can throw that in the washer! I think I would like a Medium.
Oh how convenient. I’m glad your son has been happy with the new mattress. I’d definitely consider one of these.
That is so cool that this bed could be sent in such small packaging! How much easier this would be than getting a bunch of people together to carry a large bed in a home.
Wow! That is really cool that you can put it in the washing machine. I like firm, anything too soft makes my back hurt really bad.
I thought I liked soft until I tried hard. Who knows?
I like how small the packaging was. It sounds so comfortable!
Perfect! We need a new mattress and we are looking for a great one! I think, this is it! This would be great for my son.
Our current mattress is too firm for my liking. This sounds like q great way to get the perfect one, with the ability to alter its feel afterwards.
The older I get, the more important comfortable mattresses are to me. This is a great coupon. I will check it out. Thanks
This looks like a great mattress. I need to replace my Sons mattress soon. I will have to look at getting him a Novosbed.
We had a faulty waterbed mattress o ce Upon a rime too. I forgot all about that, oy what a mess! Hurrah that the mattress you have for your son has held its shape for 2 months now! We’ll be mattress shopping here soon (summer) and I’m happy to mark down all points I come across so I remember to check them out further when the time comes for me to get my own.
That is supposed to say Once Upon a Time. I guess my phone autocorrected what I said.
I’d want the soft one. Having the right mattress makes a huge difference.
It looks really comfy! I’m sure my son would love this for his new room. I also love to use 100%off coupon.
Now that is my kind of mattress. It looks really comfy!
I actually love a soft mattress for me! I think this mattress is very intriguing and surprisingly thin.
Yes, love this! I need a new bed for my son this is perfect
