Jerome's Mattress Reviews (2026)

GridTek felt the most dialed-in for support, especially through the hips, and it had the most dependable edge. Pro Hybrid was the easiest all-arounder in our group—it gave Mia a bit more shoulder comfort without losing alignment. Classics 2.0 kept things simple: firm, steady, and predictable, but with less cushioning. Jerome’s-gel Pedic 5.0 was the quietest and best at muting movement, but its edge felt softer and it held onto more warmth during long stretches.

We put each mattress through the same routine: full-night sleep, a 30-minute reading session before bed, repeated position changes, and morning sit-and-stand tests at the edge. Scores for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability come directly from how the beds felt during that routine—especially whether hips stayed level, whether heat built after about an hour, and how much movement carried across the surface.

Our Testing Experience

The GridTek felt buoyant right away. Instead of letting my hips settle deep, it pushed back and kept my midsection level. On my back, my lower back stayed relaxed even after desk-heavy days.

On my side, it maintained alignment, but it didn’t offer a deep shoulder sink—Mia noticed that the most and preferred a lower-loft pillow to keep her neck neutral. Marcus liked how planted the perimeter felt when he sat to tie shoes and when he slept close to the edge.

What we liked

• Buoyant, stable support that kept hips and lumbar area level

• Stayed breathable during long, still stretches

• Secure edge for sitting and sleeping near the perimeter

Who it is best for

• Back and combo sleepers who like a firm, on-top feel

• Heavier sleepers who want to avoid a hammocking sensation

• Anyone who wants a steadier edge for daily in-and-out use

Where it falls short

• Lightweight side sleepers who need more shoulder give

• Shoppers who want a noticeably plush top layer

Listed highlights include a GridTek layer over pocketed springs, copper memory foam, a 14" profile, Dream Edge support, and a 25-year non-prorated warranty.

Our Testing Experience

Pro Hybrid was the “middle lane” feel. It still supported my back, but the surface had more initial give than GridTek, which made side-starts easier.

Switching from side to back felt smooth and low-effort. Carlos paid most attention to alignment and liked the way the top layers eased you in before the support caught you. Marcus thought it was the easiest mattress to live with night after night, even if the sitting edge didn’t feel quite as braced as GridTek.

What we liked

• Balanced mix of support and cushioning across positions

• Cooling stayed consistent through an all-night session

• Easy, low-resistance turns

Who it is best for

• Combination sleepers who switch positions

• Back sleepers who still want a touch of surface cushioning

• Couples who want solid motion control without an all-foam feel

Where it falls short

• Shoppers who want a deep, plush cradle

• People who sit on the edge a lot and want the stiffest perimeter

Listed as a 12" hybrid with pocketed coils, firm comfort, and a 20-year non-prorated warranty.

Pros & Cons

Well-balanced comfort and support	Edge support not as confidence-inspiring as GridTek

Our Testing Experience

Classics 2.0 is the no-frills option: firm, stable, and consistent from night to night. On my back, it kept my hips level quickly, and Marcus liked the predictable support.

The trade-off showed up on longer side stretches—Mia felt more pressure at the shoulder and outer hip than she did on Pro Hybrid. For a guest room, this is a safe “firm and simple” choice, as long as you’re not shopping for a plush feel.

What we liked

• Firm, predictable surface with dependable support

• Stable feel when sitting and standing up

• Straightforward build that feels value-focused

Who it is best for

• Back sleepers who prefer a firmer ride

• Heavier sleepers who don’t want much sink

• Guest rooms where broad-appeal firmness matters

Where it falls short

• Side sleepers who need more pressure relief

• Anyone who wants a cushier top layer

Listed specs include gel memory foam over pocketed coils, a Dream Edge support base, a 10" profile, and a 20-year non-prorated warranty.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Firmness: Firm

• Size shown: Queen

• Thickness: 10"

• Construction notes: gel memory foam + pocketed coils

• Cover notes: stretch knit fabric and quilt layer

• Back support listed: Dream Zone

Our Testing Experience

Jerome’s-gel Pedic 5.0 was the simplest feel to describe: foam compresses under you and the bed stays quiet. It was the calmest surface for reading in bed and did the best job preventing movement from traveling.

The downsides were clear, too. The edge felt softer when I sat to lace up shoes, and after longer stretches on my back, it held onto more warmth than the hybrid models. Mia also noticed it took a little more effort to reposition compared with the springier beds.

What we liked

• Best motion isolation and the quietest surface

• Simple, no-bounce feel that works well solo

• Firm foam support that stayed consistent

Who it is best for

• Motion-sensitive sleepers

• Solo sleepers who want a quieter foam feel

• Smaller rooms where an 8" profile fits better

Where it falls short

• People who rely on a sturdy sitting edge

• Hot sleepers who want maximum airflow

Jerome’s lists an 8" queen profile with gel memory foam and orthopedic base foam, plus a 20-year non-prorated warranty.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Firmness: Firm

• Size shown: Queen

• Thickness: 8"

• Foams noted: Jerome’s-gel memory foam, orthopedic base foam

• Cover: Jerome’s 8-way stretch fabric

• Warranty: 20-year non-prorated

Review Score

If you want the most even performance across categories, Pro Hybrid is the safe bet. GridTek leads on stability, edge security, and the most breathable feel. Classics 2.0 is the firm value option—steady support with less cushioning. Jerome’s-gel Pedic 5.0 is the motion-isolation pick, but it gives up ground on edge support and cooling.

Start with your main sleep position and how firm you want the top to feel. If you want the most stable surface (or you’re heavier), GridTek is the safest bet. If you switch positions and want a smoother blend of cushioning and support, go with Pro Hybrid. If you’re shopping on value and prefer a simple, firm ride, Classics 2.0 fits the brief. If you’re sensitive to movement and want a quieter surface, Jerome’s-gel Pedic 5.0 does that best.

• Give yourself about two weeks before you judge firmness; most people feel the adjustment first in the shoulders and hips.

• If you’re a side sleeper on a firmer model, try a lower-loft pillow to reduce neck tilt.

• On softer edges, sit closer to the center before you fully load the corner—especially on thinner foam beds.

• If you’re on the all-foam option and sleep warm, keep the room cooler or use more breathable bedding.

• Use a mattress protector early to help prevent spills from changing the feel of the comfort layer over time.

• If the manufacturer recommends it, rotate head-to-foot on a consistent schedule (GridTek, in particular).

• For couples, motion isolation tends to matter first, then edge support; those two drive most nightly disturbances.

• If a firm surface creates hip pressure, a thin, responsive topper is usually better than a thick plush pad that can reduce support.

• If you use an adjustable base, double-check compatibility on the models that list it.
