Back pain has a way of turning a “fine” mattress into a nightly problem. For this review, we tested three Aslan Mattress models and focused on support, pressure relief, heat, and how the foam behaves after full nights.
Our test crew covered different body types and sleep styles. Marcus pushed edge support and firmness tolerance, Mia tracked shoulder and hip pressure on her side, and Jenna and Ethan handled motion transfer and everyday usability.
The lineup here includes the 10" Aslan GEL Memory Foam Mattress (the Original), the 13" version (the Deluxe), and the 8" Aslan Arbor. They land in different firmness ranges, and they do not suit the same sleepers.
Which Aslan Mattress models did we test?
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price* | Overall Score |
| 10" Aslan GEL Memory Foam Mattress (Aslan Original – “All-Round Support Anchor”) | Balanced medium-firm feel, steady back support, strong motion control | Edge has some give for heavier sleepers; one firmness | Combination sleepers, back sleepers, couples | From about $549 (Twin) | 4.5 / 5 |
| 13" Aslan GEL Memory Foam Mattress / Deluxe (foam or hybrid – “Plush Cloud Contour Star”) | Soft, pressure-friendly cradle; best fit for side sleepers | Not great for strict stomach sleepers; softer edge | Side sleepers, lighter sleepers, people who like plush foam | From about $699 (Twin) | 4.6 / 5 |
| 8" Aslan Arbor Mattress (Firm & Very Firm – “Firm Alignment Guardian”) | Firm alignment, low profile, quick to settle | Too firm for many side sleepers; thin comfort layers | Stomach/back sleepers, guest rooms, smaller spaces | From about $299 (Twin) | 4.2 / 5 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Across the lineup, Aslan’s foam leans into clean support rather than a deep, hugging sink. The Original landed in the middle and felt the most predictable across back and side positions.
The Deluxe was the clear comfort pick for side sleepers. It eased shoulder pressure quickly, and it stayed comfortable through full nights, but it can feel too soft if you spend a lot of time on your stomach.
The Arbor took the opposite approach. It felt firm and straightforward, which worked for back and stomach sleepers and for shorter-term use in a guest room, but it didn’t give most side sleepers enough cushion.

How we tested the Aslan mattresses
We kept the process consistent across all three models. Each mattress stayed in rotation for multiple weeks, with nightly notes on comfort, alignment, heat, motion, and ease of movement.
We used the same in-room setups (platform frames and standard bedding) and logged how the foam changed after a few nights of break-in. We also did quick checks for edge stability and motion transfer with simple, repeatable drills.
Dr. Adrian Walker reviewed our notes and the foam-stack layouts, then flagged where a design choice matched (or didn’t match) what we felt on the bed.
Aslan Mattress: Our Testing Experience
10" Aslan GEL Memory Foam Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Marcus liked the steady feel near the edge. Jenna and Ethan both noted that movement stayed muted, which is the point for couples who share a bed.
On my back, it kept my hips up and my lower back supported. On my side, the top layer softened after a minute, which helped my shoulder, but it still felt more supportive than plush.
The Original is the “middle lane” of the three. On the bed, it read as medium-firm, with a slow contour that stopped short of a deep hug.

13" Aslan GEL Memory Foam Mattress
Our Testing Experience
On my stomach, the softness became the tradeoff. My hips sank more, and I had to shift to stay comfortable, which is why this model fits side sleepers first.
On my side, the pressure relief was immediate. Mia called it the easiest of the three for her shoulders and hips, especially when she stayed on her side most of the night.
The Deluxe leans plush. When I sat down, the top layers compressed fast, then settled into a deeper, softer cradle than the Original.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Plush feel with standout side-sleeper comfort | Too soft for many stomach sleepers |
| Thicker comfort layers reduce pressure points | Edge feels softer when sitting |
| Quiet, low motion transfer | Only one feel option |
Details
- Price: From about $699 (Twin).
- Thickness: 13".
- Firmness: Soft (about 3–4/10).
- Type: All-foam with a thicker comfort stack.
- Best for: Side sleepers and lighter sleepers who like plush foam.
- Pressure relief: High, especially at shoulders and hips.
- Cooling: Similar gel/PCM approach; still a foam feel.

8" Aslan Arbor Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Mia struggled on her side. Her shoulder felt pinned, and she couldn’t get the same pressure relief she got on the Deluxe.
On my back and stomach, it kept my hips from dipping and made repositioning easy. Marcus liked the “straight” support and the no-sink feel.
The Arbor is the firm, low-profile option. It felt flatter and quicker than the other two, with only a light cushion on top.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Firm alignment that suits back and stomach sleepers | Too firm for many side sleepers |
| Low profile works in smaller rooms and guest setups | Thinner comfort layers feel less cushioned |
| Easy to move on; less of the “stuck” feeling | Not a plush option |
Details
- Price: From about $299 (Twin).
- Thickness: 8".
- Firmness: Firm to very firm.
- Type: All-foam, low-profile build.
- Best for: Stomach sleepers, back sleepers, guest rooms, smaller spaces.
- Pressure relief: Limited for shoulders/hips.
- Cooling: Fine for foam; not a specialty cooling bed.
- Motion isolation: Good.
- Edge feel: Stable for a thin foam mattress.

| Motion Isolation | 4.4 / 5 | Good dampening. |
| Responsiveness | 4.1 / 5 | Quick, easy movement. |
| Edge Support | 4.3 / 5 | Stable for the profile. |
| Durability | 4.7 / 5 | Simpler build; feels sturdy at this price. |
| Value | 4.5 / 5 | Good budget firm option. |
| Overall Score | 4.2 / 5 | Best fit for firm-surface fans. |
Performance score comparison
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
| Aslan Original (10") | 4.5 / 5 | 4.6 | 4.5 | 4.2 | 4.7 | 4.5 | 4.3 |
| Aslan Deluxe (13") | 4.6 / 5 | 4.4 | 4.8 | 4.3 | 4.8 | 4.6 | 4.2 |
| Aslan Arbor (8") | 4.2 / 5 | 4.8 | 3.3 | 4.1 | 4.4 | 4.7 | 4.1 |
The Deluxe scored highest on pressure relief, while the Arbor led on support. The Original stayed the most balanced across categories, which is why it fits the widest range of sleepers.
Best Picks
- Best for side sleepers: Aslan Deluxe (13"). Mia got the quickest shoulder relief here, and the plush top kept her hips from feeling “jammed” after long side nights.
- Best for most sleepers: Aslan Original (10"). It stayed supportive on my back, felt comfortable on my side, and kept motion low when Jenna and Ethan tested partner movement.
- Best firm pick: Aslan Arbor (8"). Marcus preferred the flatter, firmer feel on back and stomach, and the low profile makes sense for guest rooms or smaller frames.
How to choose an Aslan mattress
Start with sleep position and how firm you like a mattress to feel. Then factor in body weight, heat sensitivity, and whether this is a primary bed or a secondary space.
- Mostly side sleeping or sharp shoulder/hip pressure: go Deluxe.
- Mixed positions or back sleeping with a medium-firm preference: go Original.
- Stomach/back sleeping or a guest-room bed that feels firm and simple: go Arbor.
- If you sleep hot: prioritize breathable sheets; the gel/PCM helps, but foam still holds some heat.
Also check the basics: the 13" Deluxe needs deeper sheets, while the 8" Arbor feels best on a solid, supportive base.
When you’re on the fence, pick the model that matches your primary position. Small differences in firmness matter more than the extra inch of thickness on paper.
Limitations
Edge support is fine for sleeping near the side, but sitting support is softer than what many people expect, especially on the Deluxe.
All three beds are foam-based. The cooling features help on the surface, yet they won’t feel as airy as a coil-heavy hybrid for very hot sleepers.
Aslan’s lineup is simple, and that simplicity has limits. Each model comes in a single feel, so you can’t fine-tune firmness without switching models.

FAQs
1. Which Aslan Mattress is best for side sleepers?
For most side sleepers, the Deluxe is the easiest match. It has the softest top layers and the most shoulder and hip give. If you like a firmer side feel, the Original can work, but it will feel less cushy.
2. Is the 10" Aslan Original too firm for lighter sleepers?
It can feel firm for lighter side sleepers. On back sleeping, it usually reads more balanced. If you want a softer, deeper cradle, the Deluxe is the safer bet.
3. Does the Aslan Arbor feel comfortable for everyday use?
For back and stomach sleepers, it can feel comfortable and supportive day to day. For side sleepers, it often feels too firm and too thin on top. It makes the most sense as a firm, budget build or a guest-room mattress.
4. How does Aslan handle heat and hot sleepers?
The gel/PCM features help with surface feel, but it still sleeps like foam. Breathable sheets and a cooler room make a bigger difference. If you regularly overheat, a coil-heavy hybrid may suit you better.
5. Are Aslan mattresses good for couples with different sleep styles?
All three models do well here. The all-foam builds keep movement from traveling across the bed, and the Deluxe and Original felt especially quiet when two people moved around.
6. How firm is the Aslan Deluxe compared with the Original?
Edge support is fine for sleeping near the side, but sitting support is softer than many hybrids. Heavier sleepers will notice more compression, especially on the Deluxe.
7. Which Aslan Mattress works best for stomach sleepers?
You may notice a mild “new foam” smell when you unbox it. Let it fully expand and air out with windows open, and it typically fades quickly.
8. Do Aslan mattresses work on adjustable bases and platform frames?
Aslan markets a long trial window. Returns usually require a short break-in period and following the brand’s pickup and condition rules.
9. How long should I test an Aslan Mattress before deciding?
Yes, these foam mattresses generally work on adjustable bases. Just make sure your base or frame meets the support guidelines in the warranty terms.
10. Is the Infinite Warranty just marketing, or does it actually matter?
The foams we tested felt dense, and the warranty language suggests the brand expects long-term use. Keep it on a solid foundation and rotate when the brand recommends.
