I’m Chris Miller. I went into these Metro Mattress mattress reviews with one goal: judge how the brand’s in-house collections feel after real nights of sleep, not just a quick showroom lie-down.
To keep things comparable, we focused on four models that show up repeatedly in Metro Mattress’s catalog: Chill CoolHaven Memory Foam, Chill Polar Dream Hybrid Memory Foam, Comfort Concepts Sea Island Euro Top, and American Splendor Nobility Box Pillow Top. Together they cover all-foam, hybrid, and more traditional coil builds.
Our six-person team followed the same routine we use for every review. I coordinated the rotations and final scoring, with Marcus Reed, Mia Chen, and Jenna Brooks logging most of the sleeper notes—especially on cooling, pressure relief, and motion isolation.
Product Overview
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price | Overall Score |
| Chill CoolHaven Memory Foam | Cool-to-the-touch cover, strong motion control, supportive for many average-weight sleepers | Slow-response foam feel can seem sluggish if you change positions constantly | Average-weight back and side sleepers who want a cooler all-foam feel | Mid-range for the Chill line; pricing varies by size and promotions | 4.3 / 5 |
| Chill Polar Dream Hybrid Memory Foam | Noticeably cooler surface feel with pocket-coil support and easier repositioning | More bounce than all-foam, so very light sleepers may feel extra movement | Hot sleepers who want a little bounce, combination sleepers, and heavier teens and adults | Typically mid-range; pricing shifts with size and seasonal offers | 4.4 / 5 |
| Comfort Concepts Sea Island Euro Top | Straightforward pocket-coil support with a cushioned Euro top and decent airflow | Less contouring and more transfer than the Chill foam beds | Budget-minded shoppers who like a classic innerspring feel with a softer top layer | Often the value pick in this group; pricing depends on size and store promos | 4.1 / 5 |
| American Splendor Nobility Box Pillow Top | Plush pillow-top comfort with strong edges and steady coil support underneath | Thicker top can sleep warmer without breathable bedding | Traditional-feel fans, side sleepers who like a plush top, and guest rooms that need a soft first impression | Mid-range pillow-top pricing; varies by size and sale events | 4.2 / 5 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Across the four beds, the biggest difference was feel: the Chill models were quieter and more contouring, while the coil-forward options (Sea Island and Nobility) felt springier and easier to reposition on.
Polar Dream came off as the most balanced pick for support, cooling, and ease of movement. CoolHaven was the better match when motion isolation matters most. Sea Island filled the value Euro-top role, and Nobility delivered the most traditional pillow-top comfort.
- CoolHaven: cool all-foam feel with strong motion control
- Polar Dream: best overall balance, especially for hot sleepers and combo sleepers
- Sea Island: classic Euro-top bounce with a simpler, firmer contour
- Nobility: plush pillow-top comfort with notably solid edges

What We Tested and How We Tested It
We tested all four mattresses in the same home setup, using the support base each build needs: the all-foam model on a solid platform and the coil-based beds on sturdy foundations.
Each tester slept on every model for at least a week over a six-week rotation. Scores come from nightly notes plus repeatable checks for support, pressure relief, cooling, motion transfer, ease of movement, and edge stability.
- Support and spinal alignment
- Pressure relief at shoulders and hips
- Cooling and breathability
- Motion isolation for couples
- Responsiveness and ease of movement
- Edge support and overall build quality
Metro Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Chill CoolHaven Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
CoolHaven is an all-foam bed with a noticeably cool cover. Right after expansion, the top felt cool to the hand and the foams settled into a slow, steady contour rather than a bouncy lift.
On my back, my hips stayed level and my lower back felt supported once the foam warmed up. On my side, my shoulder sank in without my waist collapsing, but the feel stayed quiet—you don’t get a quick spring-back when you change positions.
That “quiet” feel pays off for couples. Movement stayed localized, and the surface barely reacted when someone shifted or sat down nearby. If you prefer bounce, or you need extra-firm pushback for stomach sleeping, this one can feel too forgiving.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong cooling cover combined with gel-infused foams | Pure foam feel may frustrate people who want strong bounce |
| Good contouring for average-weight backs and sides | Heavier stomach sleepers may notice extra hip sink |
| All-foam design handles partner motion well | Thicker profile can feel tall on some low frames |
| Bed-in-a-box style suits easy delivery and setup | Edge sitting support less robust than on coil models |
Details
- Type: all-foam, cooling-focused memory foam
- Feel: medium-firm with a plush top
- Construction: cooling cover over gel memory-foam layers and a firm foam base
- Profile: about 14 inches (varies by size)
- Cooling: strong surface cooling; still benefits from breathable bedding
- Pressure relief: deep contouring for shoulders and hips
- Motion isolation: excellent for couples
- Warranty: 10-year limited warranty listed for this model
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.2 | Held my 185-pound frame in neutral alignment; Marcus wanted firmer hip support. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.5 | Deep foam cradle worked well for my side sleep and especially for Mia’s shoulders. |
| Cooling | 4.4 | Cooling cover and gel foams kept surface temperatures in a comfortable band most nights. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.7 | Marcus’s night movements showed up as small ripples, not big jolts for Jenna. |
| Edge Support | 3.8 | Noticeable compression while sitting near the perimeter, typical for many foam beds. |
| Responsiveness | 4.0 | Slower than hybrids, yet still manageable for position changes during restless nights. |
| Durability Outlook | 4.4 | Firmer base foam and 10-year warranty suggest a solid life for typical use. |
| Materials / Air Quality | 4.3 | Modern foams and cooling textiles, with no strong odors during expansion. |
| Value | 4.1 | Sits in a reasonable price pocket relative to build, cooling, and support level. |
| Overall Score | 4.3 | Cool-feeling foam option that favors average and lighter sleepers, plus motion-sensitive couples. |
Chill Polar Dream Hybrid Memory Foam
Our Testing Experience
Polar Dream keeps the cool-to-the-touch surface, but the coil core changes the feel immediately. You still get contour from the top foams, yet there’s clearer pushback when you roll over or sit near the edge.
In back and combination sleep, the coils kept my hips from settling too deep. Side sleeping felt cushioned without the deeper “hug” you get from CoolHaven—more of a floating cradle than a sink-in feel.
Cooling was the standout in our rotation. With airflow moving through the coil unit, it held onto less heat overnight than the Euro-top and pillow-top styles. Motion isolation was solid for a hybrid, though not as dead-quiet as an all-foam bed.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Hybrid design combines cooling gel foams with responsive pocket coils | More motion transfer than all-foam CoolHaven for very light sleepers |
| Strong hip support for heavier testers | Slightly less plush contour for pure side-sleep purists |
| Cooler surface feel than many standard hybrids | Coil feel may bother people who dislike any bounce |
| Bed-in-a-box convenience with multiple size options | Edge support still trails some heavy-duty innersprings |
Details
- Type: hybrid (foam over pocket coils)
- Feel: medium with firmer pushback under the hips
- Construction: cooling cover over gel/transition foams and an 8" pocket-coil unit (about 790 coils in queen size)
- Profile: about 12–13 inches depending on size
- Cooling: best airflow and heat control in this lineup
- Responsiveness: easy to move on with moderate bounce
- Motion isolation: solid for a hybrid, though not as quiet as all-foam
- Warranty: 10-year limited warranty listed for this model
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.5 | Coil unit held my back steady and gave Marcus the hip lift he wanted. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.3 | Foam layers delivered adequate cushion for side sleep, though not as deep as thick pillow-tops. |
| Cooling | 4.6 | Cooling fabric and gel foam combined with airflow from coils kept hot sleepers comfortable. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.1 | Some movement reached Jenna when Marcus moved, yet impact felt shorter and softer than old-style springs. |
| Edge Support | 4.2 | Edges felt stronger than all-foam models, with modest compression during sitting. |
| Responsiveness | 4.5 | Coils added bounce that helped repositioning without feeling jittery. |
| Durability Outlook | 4.5 | Wrapped coils and quality foams, plus 10-year warranty, support a solid lifespan. |
| Materials / Air Quality | 4.3 | Clean expansion, modern foams, and solid coil construction without heavy odors. |
| Value | 4.3 | Aggressive pricing for a cooling hybrid inside the Metro Mattress catalog. |
| Overall Score | 4.4 | Hybrid Chill option that targets hot sleepers and heavier bodies effectively. |
Comfort Concepts Sea Island Euro Top
Our Testing Experience
Sea Island is the most straightforward “classic mattress” here: a pocket-coil core with a Euro-top that softens the first few inches.
Once you settle in, it reads firmer than the Chill beds, with buoyant coil support underneath. I could change positions easily, and the perimeter felt stable enough for sitting and sleeping near the edge.
Pressure relief is more surface-level than deep. The Euro top takes the edge off, but it doesn’t melt around joints the way foam-heavy beds do. Partner movement was also more noticeable compared with the all-foam option.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Euro-top cushion with supportive pocket coils underneath | Shallower contouring for lighter side sleepers during long nights |
| Foam-encased edge gives better sitting stability | Motion transfer higher than on Chill foam models |
| Comfort Concepts pricing keeps this model accessible | Less feature-heavy than premium American Splendor builds |
| Good airflow and traditional bounce for people who dislike slow foam | Shorter comfort stack may not suit severe joint sensitivity |
Details
- Type: Euro-top pocket-coil innerspring
- Feel: medium to medium-firm
- Construction: quilted Euro top over 660 pocket coils (queen) with a foam-encased edge
- Coils: 14.5-gauge pocket-coil unit
- Profile: about 11.5 inches
- Cooling: good airflow, though the quilted top can hold some heat
- Responsiveness: quick, springy feel
- Warranty: 10-year limited warranty listed for this model
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.3 | Pocket coils held my back and Marcus’s frame reasonably level in back and stomach positions. |
| Pressure Relief | 3.9 | Euro-top softened contact yet could not match Chill or Nobility for long side-sleep stretches. |
| Cooling | 4.2 | Coil airflow and breathable quilting kept temperature in a comfortable range. |
| Motion Isolation | 3.8 | Partner shifts reached Jenna more clearly here, especially with quick movements. |
| Edge Support | 4.4 | Foam-encased perimeter gave solid sitting support and secure lying near the edge. |
| Responsiveness | 4.6 | Springy feel helped easy movement for restless sleepers and active stretch routines. |
| Durability Outlook | 4.1 | Pocket-coil build and 10-year warranty indicate respectable longevity for the price tier. |
| Materials / Air Quality | 3.9 | Standard foams and fibers, nothing exotic, yet no concerning odors or obvious weaknesses. |
| Value | 4.4 | Strong proposition for shoppers wanting a neutral-feel Euro-top at an accessible price. |
| Overall Score | 4.1 | Straightforward Euro-top innerspring that works well for value-driven back and combo sleepers. |
American Splendor Nobility Box Pillow Top
Our Testing Experience
Nobility leans fully into a traditional pillow-top feel. The first impression is plush and cushy, with a thicker comfort stack than Sea Island.
Side sleeping was where it made the most sense for me: my shoulder dropped in easily, and hips felt cushioned without sharp pressure. The coil support underneath kept the bed from feeling sloppy, but it’s still the softest surface of the four.
Edges were impressively stable for a pillow-top. Motion isolation landed in the middle—you’ll feel bigger movements more than you would on CoolHaven, but less than on a basic open-coil spring mattress.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Deep pillow-top comfort that suits side sleepers well | Thicker foam stack can feel warm without breathable sheets and blankets |
| Perimeter pocket coils give strong edge support | Stomach sleepers with heavier hips may want a firmer surface |
| Made-in-USA positioning adds appeal for some buyers | Motion isolation still behind all-foam models |
| Ten-year non-prorated warranty within a mid-range price band | Heaviest sleepers may want more robust internal zoning |
Details
- Type: pillow-top hybrid
- Feel: medium-plush
- Construction: pillow-top foams (including a 3" gel foam layer) over 824 pocket coils (queen) plus a solid state foundation layer
- Edge support: reinforced perimeter coils for stable sitting
- Cooling: gel helps, but the thick top can run warmer for hot sleepers
- Pressure relief: standout cushioning for shoulders and hips
- Motion isolation: mid-pack (better than basic springs, less than all-foam)
- Warranty: 10-year non-prorated warranty listed for this model
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.3 | Pocket coils held my and Marcus’s backs reasonably straight, though pure stomach sessions felt softer. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.7 | Deep pillow-top structure eased Mia’s shoulders and my hips during side sleep. |
| Cooling | 4.0 | Gel foam helped, yet thick comfort stack still ran warmer than Chill hybrids for hot sleepers. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.0 | Coils carried some movement but the plush top dulled impact for Jenna. |
| Edge Support | 4.7 | Perimeter coils delivered very solid sitting and lying support at the edge. |
| Responsiveness | 4.2 | Coil bounce under foam provided a pleasant, controlled movement pattern. |
| Durability Outlook | 4.4 | Non-prorated 10-year warranty and robust coil design suggest reliable service life. |
| Materials / Air Quality | 4.2 | Standard yet solid foams and coils, made-in-USA construction, no strong odors. |
| Value | 4.1 | Balanced feature set at a mid-range price inside the Metro Mattress catalog. |
| Overall Score | 4.2 | Traditional pillow-top choice for shoppers wanting plush comfort and secure edges. |

Polar Dream was the most well-rounded in our scoring, pairing strong cooling with reliable support and easy movement. CoolHaven stood out for motion isolation and a deeper foam cradle. Sea Island was the straightforward value Euro-top with more bounce but less contour. Nobility leaned plush, with standout pressure relief and secure edges.
Best Picks
- Best for hot sleepers: Chill Polar Dream Hybrid Memory Foam — The cooling cover plus the pocket-coil core did the best job of keeping heat from building up overnight, and it stayed supportive when we switched positions.
- Best all-foam pick: Chill CoolHaven Memory Foam — Quiet, contouring foam with excellent motion isolation and a cooler surface feel than most traditional memory-foam beds.
- Best pillow-top feel: American Splendor Nobility Box Pillow Top — Plush, traditional cushioning with notably stable edges for sleepers who want that classic hotel-style surface.
How to Choose the Metro Mattress?
Start with feel. The two Chill models (CoolHaven and Polar Dream) deliver more foam contouring, while Sea Island and Nobility read more traditional and spring-forward.
Use this quick match guide to narrow it down:
- Sleep hot or change positions often: Polar Dream
- Share a bed and want minimal motion transfer: CoolHaven
- Prefer a simpler, bouncier Euro-top feel on a tighter budget: Sea Island
- Want a plush pillow-top feel with strong edges: Nobility
Then sanity-check firmness preference, body weight, and your base. Coils tend to feel firmer and more buoyant, while all-foam can feel softer under the hips. If possible, spend a few minutes in your usual sleep positions before committing.
Limitations
These models aren’t aimed at shoppers who want the lowest-priced bed or a true extra-firm feel. Even the firmer options here land in the medium to medium-firm range once you’ve slept on them for a few nights, and the foam-heavy builds move slower than a classic spring mattress.
The bigger practical limitation is availability and service. Metro Mattress has been going through store changes in parts of its network, which can affect inventory, delivery timelines, and exchange support. Confirm current stock and policy details at the point of sale.
Policies at a Glance
Metro Mattress promotes a comfort-exchange program alongside the 10-year coverage listed across these collections. The exact window and requirements can change over time, but eligibility is typically tied to buying a waterproof protector and premium pillows with the mattress. In practice, it’s positioned as an exchange program more than a no-questions refund policy.

FAQs
1. What is Metro Mattress, and does it make its own beds?
Metro Mattress operates primarily as a regional retailer. Some collections in its lineup are exclusive or private-label programs (like Chill, Comfort Concepts, and American Splendor), which are produced for the chain rather than manufactured directly by Metro Mattress itself.
2. Which model is the best match for hot sleepers?
In our rotation, Chill Polar Dream held onto the least heat overnight. The cooling cover and pocket-coil airflow made it feel less stuffy than the thicker Euro-top and pillow-top builds. CoolHaven also started cool to the touch, but it didn’t vent heat as quickly as the hybrid.
3. Which option felt most supportive for back sleep?
Polar Dream delivered the most consistent hip support thanks to the coil unit, especially for average-weight and heavier sleepers. CoolHaven also kept my lower back supported, but it has a deeper foam contour that can feel softer under the hips for heavier bodies.
4. Does Metro Mattress offer free returns on these mattresses?
Metro Mattress policies are generally structured around a comfort exchange, not a simple refund. The exchange window and eligibility requirements can change, and fees may apply, so it’s worth confirming the exact terms at the time of purchase.
5. How long should these mattresses last?
All four models list 10-year warranty coverage. In our durability scoring, Polar Dream and Nobility looked strongest due to their coil cores, while CoolHaven’s high-density foam build also projected well with proper support and care.
6. Is Metro Mattress going out of business, and does that affect buying decisions?
Metro Mattress has faced bankruptcy proceedings and store changes in parts of its network. That can affect inventory and in-person support, so shoppers should confirm how exchanges and warranty help will work locally before purchasing.
