The Modway Jenna Innerspring and Foam Mattress is a low-profile hybrid that pairs individually wrapped coils with a thin foam comfort stack. In our queen 8-inch testing setup, it felt stable under the hips and stayed less heat-trappy than many thicker foam beds, but it did not offer much cushioning for long side-sleep stretches.

Product Overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Modway Jenna Innerspring and Foam Mattress (Queen, 8") | 3.8/5 | Firm, steady coil support; breathable feel; low profile | Minimal pressure relief; average motion isolation; edges compress when perched | Back and stomach sleepers, guest rooms, and budget shoppers who prefer a firm surface |
Final Verdict
In our testing, Jenna felt like a firm, straightforward hybrid. The pocketed coils do most of the work, while the quilted top and thin foam layers add a light layer of surface comfort. We liked the steady midsection support and the sleep-on-top feel, but side sleepers who want deeper cushioning will probably prefer a thicker comfort stack.

How We Tested It
We rotated the mattress through overnight sleep and daytime lounging, then ran repeatable checks for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability. Our testing looked at spinal alignment and hip sink, heat buildup after extended stillness, shoulder and hip comfort while side sleeping, movement transfer from a partner, ease of changing positions, sit-and-scoot stability at the edge, and whether the feel stayed consistent over time.
Our Testing Experience
Modway Jenna Innerspring and Foam Mattress
Our Testing Experience
In our testing, the first thing that stood out was how upright the surface felt. When I moved from my back to my side, the mattress kept my hips from dropping too far, and my lower back felt less irritated after long days at a desk. Marcus focused on temperature control and found it stayed less heat-trappy than many thicker foam budget beds. Jenna and Ethan paid closer attention to partner movement; the bed muted motion better than a traditional spring mattress, but we could still feel a light ripple when someone shifted or climbed back in. After a couple of weeks, the feel stayed consistent: firm, stable, and more supportive than plush.

Review Score
Overall Score: 3.8/5
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Support | 4.0/5 | Firm coil support kept the hips from dipping and felt steady for back and stomach sleeping. |
| Cooling | 4.0/5 | The coil system and lighter comfort layers helped the bed stay less heat-trappy over longer stretches. |
| Pressure Relief | 3.5/5 | There is enough give to take the edge off, but many side sleepers will want a thicker comfort layer. |
| Motion Isolation | 3.4/5 | Movement is somewhat muted, but a partner’s shifts still come through. |
| Responsiveness | 4.2/5 | Changing positions feels easy; the surface does not feel sticky or slow. |
| Edge Support | 3.6/5 | Sleeping near the edge felt fine, but sitting there produced noticeable compression. |
| Durability | 3.6/5 | The feel stayed consistent over a couple of weeks, though the thin comfort stack is unlikely to feel plush for long. |
Choosing Guide
Choose Jenna if you want a firm surface, a lower-profile build, and stable coil support without a thick foam hug. In our testing, it made the most sense for back and stomach sleepers, and it also works well in guest rooms where simple, no-fuss support matters. If you mainly sleep on your side, look for a thicker comfort layer or a taller build that gives your shoulders and hips more room to sink.
If you want a softer budget hybrid for a guest room, the Linenspa 8-inch Memory Foam Hybrid is the more forgiving option. If you want a firmer pocket-spring feel with comfort zones, IKEA’s VALEVÅG is the clearer match. If you want a more substantial step-up hybrid with broader build options, Brooklyn Bedding’s Signature Hybrid is the upgrade path.
Limitations
Jenna’s main trade-off is comfort depth. The surface is firm and the foam layers are thin, so pressure relief can be limited for side sleepers and lighter bodies. Couples who wake easily may still notice partner movement, especially when someone gets in or out of bed. The low-profile build is practical, but it also means less cushion and more compression when you sit on the perimeter.

Pro Tips
-
Use a supportive, flat foundation so the coil unit stays evenly loaded night after night.
-
If you are a side sleeper, use pillows that help take pressure off the shoulder and keep your neck aligned.
-
Add a thin topper if you like the support but want more surface cushioning.
-
Rotate the mattress periodically to help even out wear in your most-used zones.
-
If you sit on the edge often to get dressed, a small bench can reduce perimeter wear.
-
For hot sleepers, pair it with a breathable protector and lighter sheets so airflow can do more of the work.
-
Give your body a few nights to adjust to the firmer feel before you decide.
-
If you share the bed, separate blankets can reduce tug-and-pull disturbance.
-
Keep the room slightly cooler during the first week while you figure out your bedding.
FAQs
Does the Jenna feel more like foam or more like coils?
It feels more like coils. In our testing, the surface stayed firm and buoyant, with just enough quilting and foam to keep it from feeling harsh.
Is it good for lower-back support?
For our back-sleep trials, yes. The mattress kept the hips from sinking too far, which made it feel steadier through the lower back.
How noticeable is partner movement?
It is not bouncy, but you can still feel a muted shift when a partner changes positions or gets in or out of bed. Very motion-sensitive sleepers may want a thicker comfort system.
Will side sleepers be comfortable on it?
Some side sleepers will be fine, but it depends on how much shoulder and hip cushioning you need. Lightweight or pressure-sensitive sleepers will probably want a softer topper or a thicker, plusher hybrid.
