Furniture By Mattress Miles sells several Sierra Sleep by Ashley mattresses with very different feels, from slow-moving memory foam to responsive coil-and-foam hybrids. We compared four models that cover most comfort preferences: the ultra-plush Chime 12 Memory Foam, medium Chime 10 Hybrid, support-forward Hybrid 1300, and plush Euro-top Plush Luxe 2.0. The best choice depends less on a single overall score than on how much cushioning, motion control, and edge support you need. Because Mattress Miles is a regional Wisconsin retailer and inventory changes, confirm the model, size, and local availability before ordering.
Four Models at a Glance
| Mattress | Overall Score (5) | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chime 12 Memory Foam | 3.9 | Deep pressure relief; excellent motion control | Soft edges; slower and warmer feel | Lighter side sleepers; movement-sensitive couples |
| Chime 10 Hybrid | 4.0 | Balanced support; easy repositioning | More motion transfer; limited deep contouring | Combination sleepers; everyday value |
| Hybrid 1300 | 4.2 | Steady support; secure perimeter | Less shoulder cushioning than softer models | Back sleepers; people who use the full surface |
| Plush Luxe 2.0 | 4.3 | Excellent pressure relief; balanced response | Tall profile; too soft for some stomach sleepers | Side sleepers; couples wanting plush comfort |
Which Mattress Should You Buy?
Chime 12 Memory Foam: Choose this model if you want the deepest foam contour and the least partner disturbance. It cushions the shoulders and hips well, especially for lighter and average-weight side sleepers, but its slow response, warmer surface, and soft perimeter make it less appealing for hot sleepers or anyone who sits near the edge every morning.
Chime 10 Hybrid: This is the safest all-purpose pick for combination sleepers. Its medium feel and wrapped-coil core make turning easier without giving up useful pressure relief. Couples should expect more movement to travel across the bed than on the all-foam Chime, though the difference was noticeable rather than disruptive.
Hybrid 1300: Ashley classifies this mattress as plush, but our sample felt noticeably firmer and more support-focused than that label suggests. It provided the strongest edge performance and kept the hips steady during back sleeping. Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders will get more cushioning from the Chime 12 or Plush Luxe 2.0.
Plush Luxe 2.0: This was the strongest overall choice for side sleepers and couples who want a plush mattress without the slow response of all-foam construction. The Euro top relieved pressure while the coil unit kept movement manageable. Its 15-inch height and softer top are the main reasons to look elsewhere.
How the Four Mattresses Differ
| Mattress | Type | Thickness | Official Comfort Level | Construction | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Edge Support | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chime 12 Memory Foam | All-foam | 12 in | Ultra plush | Memory foam over firm support foam; stretch-knit cover | Below average | Excellent | Soft | Quiet, deep contouring |
| Chime 10 Hybrid | Hybrid | 10 in | Medium | Gel memory foam, quilt foam, wrapped coils, perimeter coil rows | Good | Good | Good | Balanced everyday use |
| Hybrid 1300 | Hybrid | 13 in | Plush; sample felt firmer | Response and whisper foams; 720 queen coils; steel-encased edge | Good | Very good | Excellent | Support and full-surface use |
| Plush Luxe 2.0 | Euro-top hybrid | 15 in | Plush | Memory and quilt foams, cooling gel latex, Laytech foam, wrapped coils | Very good | Very good | Very good | Plush comfort with easier movement |
What We Measured
Under our mattress test protocol, each model spent at least three nights in the same bedroom setup with the same foundation, pillows, protector, and bedding. Chris tracked spinal alignment, firmness, and morning stiffness; Marcus watched heat buildup and hip support; Jenna and Ethan repeated partner-movement and edge-use checks. We also recorded 48-hour height, 44-pound compression, surface-temperature change after 30 minutes, recovery to 90% of the original height, and edge compression under the same load. Support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability were scored on a consistent 5-point scale, with the overall result treated as a weighted editorial composite.
Mattress Miles: Our Testing Experience
Chime 12 Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
After 48 hours, our sample measured 11.9 inches and felt like a 4.5 out of 10 for firmness. The first impression was unmistakably soft: a 44-pound load compressed the comfort layers by 2.4 inches, the deepest result in this group. That extra give was helpful during long side-sleeping stretches because the shoulder settled without a sharp pressure spot. On my back, however, the same contour let my hips sit lower than I wanted. Motion was the clear strength. Jenna could turn or get out of bed without waking Ethan, which supports the 4.6/5 motion-isolation score. The foam took 3.8 seconds to recover 90% of its height, so position changes required more effort. It also gained 6.8°F after 30 minutes and still sat 2.2°F above its starting temperature ten minutes after we got up.
- What we liked
- Excellent motion control for partners who wake easily
- Deep shoulder and hip cushioning for side sleeping
- Quiet surface with no coil vibration
- Who it is best for
- Lighter and average-weight side sleepers
- Couples who prioritize motion isolation over bounce
- Guest rooms where a clearly plush feel is desirable
- Where it falls short
- Hot sleepers who notice stored body heat
- Stomach sleepers who need firmer hip support
- People who sit or sleep directly along the perimeter
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |

Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Support | 3.8 | Adequate on the back; deeper hip sink for some bodies |
| Cooling | 3.4 | Held more heat than the three hybrids |
| Pressure Relief | 4.5 | Strong shoulder and hip cushioning on the side |
| Motion Isolation | 4.6 | Kept partner movement highly localized |
| Responsiveness | 3.2 | Slow rebound made quick turns harder |
| Edge Support | 3.1 | Usable for sleep, but unstable for regular sitting |
| Durability | 3.6 | Soft foam is the main long-term wear concern |
| Overall | 3.9 | Best for deep contouring and quiet sleep, with clear heat and edge trade-offs |
Chime 10 Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
The Chime 10 reached its full 10-inch height within 48 hours and landed at 6 out of 10 for firmness, a true medium feel in this group. A 44-pound load compressed the surface by 1.8 inches, enough to cushion the hip without creating the slow, enclosed sensation of the Chime 12. Moving from side to back took less effort because the surface recovered 90% of its height in 1.7 seconds. Marcus found the lumbar area steadier, and the surface gained 4.6°F during the 30-minute heat check, more comfortable than the all-foam model. Jenna and Ethan felt more partner movement, but the wrapped coils kept it from becoming sharp or bouncy. At the edge, the same load produced 2.4 inches of compression versus 1.8 inches at the center, a manageable difference when sitting down or getting up.
- What we liked
- Balanced medium support for changing sleep positions
- Quick enough response for easy turns
- More usable edge than the all-foam Chime
- Who it is best for
- Combination sleepers who move throughout the night
- People who dislike a deep, slow foam hug
- Value-focused couples comfortable with moderate motion transfer
- Where it falls short
- Sleepers who want an unmistakably plush top
- Very light side sleepers needing maximum shoulder cushioning
- Partners who need the strongest possible motion isolation
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced all-position support | More motion than all-foam |
| Easy repositioning | Limited deep contouring |
| Useful perimeter support | Too neutral for plush or firm purists |

| Responsiveness | 4.1 | Quick enough for smooth position changes |
| Edge Support | 4.1 | Stable enough for sitting and perimeter sleep |
| Durability | 4.0 | Coil core and moderate cushioning should retain shape well |
| Overall | 4.0 | A practical middle-ground mattress without an extreme feel |
Hybrid 1300
Our Testing Experience
Although Ashley labels the Hybrid 1300 plush, our queen sample felt closer to 6.5 out of 10 because the tight top and reinforced coil system pushed back quickly. It measured 13 inches after expansion, and the 44-pound load compressed the surface by 1.6 inches. On my back, that controlled give kept the hips from dropping and eased the lower-back stiffness I notice after desk-heavy days. Side sleeping was less forgiving: my shoulder remained higher than it did on the Chime 12 or Plush Luxe 2.0. Recovery to 90% took 1.2 seconds, so turning felt direct without becoming springy. The surface gained 3.9°F in 30 minutes, while edge compression measured 1.9 inches against 1.6 inches at the center. Marcus, Jenna, and Ethan all found it the most secure model when sitting or sleeping close to the perimeter.
- What we liked
- Strong support for back sleeping and controlled hip sink
- Best edge performance of the four mattresses
- Fast response without excessive bounce
- Who it is best for
- Back sleepers who prefer a supportive surface
- Higher-weight sleepers who need better hip control
- Couples who use the full width of the mattress
- Where it falls short
- Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders
- People expecting a deep plush feel from the label
- Anyone who wants a thick, cushioned Euro top
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent support and stability | Firmer than its plush label suggests |
| Best edge support in the group | Less forgiving at the shoulder |
| Fast, controlled response | No deep pillow-top cushion |
Details
- Official comfort level: plush; tested feel was closer to medium-firm
- Foam layers: high-density response memory foam and whisper foam
- Queen coil system: 720 wrapped 15-gauge coils
- Edge: steel-encased Ashley Edge with two perimeter coil rows
- Cover: four-way stretch fabric

| Overall | 4.2 | A support-first hybrid whose tested feel is firmer than its label |
Plush Luxe 2.0
Our Testing Experience
The Plush Luxe 2.0 expanded to 14.8 inches and felt like a 5.5 out of 10, softer than the Chime 10 and Hybrid 1300 but easier to move on than the Chime 12. Its Euro top compressed 2.1 inches under the 44-pound load. That extra cushion gave my shoulder and hip the most even relief of the four models, which matches its 4.6/5 pressure-relief score. The surface recovered 90% in 1.4 seconds, so I could roll from side to back without pushing against slow foam. Jenna and Ethan found the best couple compromise here: their turns were subdued, but the bed never felt flat or difficult to move across. The temperature rose 3.5°F after 30 minutes, the lowest increase in the group, and edge compression measured 2.1 inches versus 1.9 inches at the center. Marcus liked the support but noticed a slight hip dip while stomach sleeping.
- What we liked
- Best combination of pressure relief and easy movement
- Strong motion control without a slow all-foam feel
- Comfortable temperature and stable perimeter
- Who it is best for
- Side sleepers who still want responsive support
- Couples balancing motion control and mobility
- Shoppers who want a plush Euro top without extreme sink
- Where it falls short
- Sleepers who want a distinctly firm surface
- Higher-weight stomach sleepers needing stronger hip support
- People whose sheets or bed frame cannot handle a 15-inch profile
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent pressure relief | Too soft for some stomach sleepers |
| Balanced motion control and response | Tall profile needs deep-pocket sheets |
| Stable edge and cool surface | Higher price tier than the Chime models |
Details

| Overall | 4.3 | The most complete option for plush comfort, pressure relief, and mobility |
Performance Scores Side by Side
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chime 12 Memory Foam | 3.9 | 3.8 | 4.5 | 3.4 | 4.6 | 3.6 | 3.2 |
| Chime 10 Hybrid | 4.0 | 4.2 | 4.0 | 3.9 | 3.8 | 4.0 | 4.1 |
| Hybrid 1300 | 4.2 | 4.6 | 3.7 | 3.7 | 4.0 | 4.3 | 4.0 |
| Plush Luxe 2.0 | 4.3 | 4.1 | 4.6 | 4.1 | 4.2 | 4.1 | 4.2 |
Plush Luxe 2.0 and Chime 10 Hybrid were the most balanced performers, though they serve different preferences. Plush Luxe 2.0 adds more pressure relief and motion control, while Chime 10 costs less and feels more neutral. Hybrid 1300 is the specialist for support and edge stability. Chime 12 is the quietest, most contouring choice, but it trails the hybrids in cooling, response, and perimeter support.
How to Choose the Right Model
Begin with sleep position and body weight. Side sleepers generally need enough surface give to prevent pressure at the shoulder and hip, while back and stomach sleepers need stronger control beneath the pelvis. Hot sleepers should favor a coil core, and couples should decide whether they value maximum motion isolation or easier movement more. Choose Chime 12 for deep foam contouring, Chime 10 for a medium all-purpose feel, Hybrid 1300 for stable support and strong edges, or Plush Luxe 2.0 for the best mix of plush pressure relief and responsive movement. Check your bed frame, foundation requirements, sheet depth, delivery area, and current Mattress Miles inventory before paying.
Trade-Offs to Know

Chime 10 Hybrid
- Transfers more partner movement than all-foam
- Provides less deep contouring than the Chime 12
- May feel too neutral for shoppers wanting very soft or very firm
Hybrid 1300
- Feels firmer than its official plush label suggests
- Creates more shoulder pressure for sensitive side sleepers
- Lacks the thick cushioning of a Euro top
Plush Luxe 2.0
- Allows more hip sink during stomach sleeping
- Requires deep-pocket sheets and a suitable bed height
- Sits in a higher price tier than the Chime models
How These Models Compare With Alternatives
Saatva Classic: Saatva's dual-coil innerspring adds a Euro pillow top, three firmness choices, zoned lumbar support, in-home delivery, and a much longer trial. It is also a substantial step up in price, so it makes sense for shoppers willing to pay more for service and firmness options rather than those comparing budget Chime models.
Nectar Classic Memory Foam: Nectar is the closest alternative for shoppers drawn to the Chime 12's all-foam contour. It has a medium-firm feel, a longer home trial, and stronger direct-to-consumer policies, but it will not provide the edge stability or easy movement of the coil-based Chime 10 and Hybrid 1300.
Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid: Sealy is the most direct mainstream hybrid comparison. Its medium feel, conforming foam, motion-reducing coils, and reinforced edge compete with the Chime 10 and Hybrid 1300. Choose Sealy if a broader national retail network and home trial matter; choose the Ashley models when local price and immediate feel are the deciding factors.
Shopping and Setup Tips
- Spend at least 15 minutes in your usual sleep position and watch for shoulder numbness or hip sag.
- When lying on your back, check whether the lower back feels unsupported or forced into an arch.
- Have a partner get in, turn three times, and leave the bed so you can judge motion transfer.
- Sit on the edge as if tying your shoes; sliding or heavy compression will become more frustrating over time.
- Use breathable bedding with foam-rich models if you tend to sleep hot.
- Allow a boxed mattress up to 48 hours to expand before judging its height or comfort.
- Prioritize fast response if you switch positions often or have trouble pushing out of soft foam.
- Match pillow loft to the surface: firmer mattresses usually require more loft for side sleeping.
- Use a compatible, supportive foundation so the base does not add sag or wobble.
FAQs
Which Mattress Miles option felt the softest?
