I kept hearing the same line about Costco mattresses: “Great value—just hope it lasts.” Novaform came up almost every time. We tested five popular Novaform models to see how they actually feel over full nights—not just a quick laydown.
In our sleep lab, we focused on five common Novaform models sold through Costco and other retail channels. I ran the test plan and scoring. Lena, a lighter side sleeper, tracked shoulder pressure. Marcus is heavier, sleeps hot, and focused on lumbar support and heat buildup.
We rotated each bed through platform and slatted bases, logged nightly notes, and ran motion and edge drills. Below is what stood out on each model and who it fits best.
Product Overview
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price* | Overall Score |
| ComfortGrande Advanced 14" Gel Memory Foam | Strong pressure relief, deep foam contouring, strong motion isolation | Softer edges under heavier weight, medium feel only | Average-weight couples, side sleepers who want contouring | Typically $399–$699 (varies by size and seller) | 4.3 / 5 |
| Serafina PerfectTemp 14" Gel Memory Foam | Three firmness options, advanced cooling, plush quilted feel | Edge sitting feels softer than the hybrid, slower response | Hot sleepers who still like memory foam contouring | Typically $749–$899 (varies by size and seller) | 4.4 / 5 |
| Legacy Premier Support 14" Hybrid | Zoned coil support, sturdier edges, more lift than all-foam | Higher price, may feel too buoyant for deep-foam fans | Back sleepers, combination sleepers, heavier users | Typically $899–$1,199 (varies by size and seller) | 4.4 / 5 |
| Advanced Back Support Plus 12" Responsive Foam | Very firm lumbar lift, responsive feel, clear spinal support | Too firm for many side sleepers, minimal plushness | People with back issues who like firm foam | Typically $399–$649 (varies by size and seller) | 4.2 / 5 |
| SoFresh Plus 10" Responsive Foam | Copper-infused foam, washable cover, easy to move | Less substantial for heavier adults, thinner profile | Teens, guest rooms, smaller adults who want a “fresh” feel | Typically $329–$549 (varies by size and seller) | 4.1 / 5 |
Testing Team Takeaways
ComfortGrande Advanced and Serafina felt like the classic slow, contouring memory-foam beds with very quiet motion. Legacy Premier and Advanced Back Support Plus felt more upright and supportive through the hips and lower back. SoFresh Plus was the lightest, quickest bed—useful, but not as substantial.
Lena’s top pick was Serafina Plush for shoulder relief. Marcus preferred Legacy Premier Firm for the most consistent lift, and he used Advanced Back Support Plus as the firm foam option during sore-back weeks. For guest and teen rooms, he liked SoFresh Plus mainly for the washable cover.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
For this Novaform mattress reviews project, we followed our how we test mattresses playbook to mirror everyday use. Each mattress spent time on a rigid platform base and on slatted frames so we could feel how the support changed. Every model stayed in rotation for at least a week, with full nights from at least two testers per bed.
We tracked the same set of metrics across every mattress and used them as our scoring categories: We also noted firmness using our standard mattress firmness testing criteria.
- Support alignment checks for back and stomach sleeping.
- Pressure relief body-map photos for shoulders and hips.
- Cooling heat-buildup notes and quick surface temp checks.
- Motion isolation partner-movement drills and drop tests.
- Edge support edge sitting and near-edge side sleep.
- Responsiveness ease of changing positions.
- Durability expectations from construction and material info.
- Value based on price, warranty, and seller policies.
After each night, we logged short notes on hot spots, numb limbs, edge stability, and alignment strain. The sections below translate those notes into model-by-model takeaways.
Novaform Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Novaform ComfortGrande Advanced 14"
Our Testing Experience
ComfortGrande Advanced opened cool to the touch and had a dense, slow memory-foam feel. After a few minutes, the surface warmed to neutral, and the top foam spread pressure without a sudden drop-through.
On my 185-pound frame, it landed as a true medium: enough cradle for side sleeping, with decent lumbar support on my back. Motion isolation was the best in the group—partner movement stayed muted.
For Lena, the medium feel leaned a bit firm at the shoulder. For Marcus, the foam compressed deeper and the edge felt soft for long sitting. If you like a classic memory-foam hug and sleep more centered, it’s the safest all-foam value pick.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong contouring for average-weight side and back sleepers | Edge support feels soft for heavier users |
| Very good motion isolation for couples | Only one firmness option, locked at medium |
| Noticeable cooling compared with older memory foam | Some side sleepers under 140 pounds may feel shoulder pressure |
| Good value in the Costco price tier | Heavy stomach sleepers may want more pushback |

| Overall Score | 4.3 | Balanced all-foam option for shoppers who like a true memory-foam feel. |
Novaform Serafina PerfectTemp 14"
Our Testing Experience
Serafina PerfectTemp is the most configurable foam option, sold in Plush, Medium, and Firm. Across versions, it kept a slow, contouring memory-foam character but added a cooler, quilted surface feel.
Lena preferred Plush for shoulder relief—it let her settle without tingling arms. I liked Medium as the balance point: strong pressure relief with better hip control than Plush.
Marcus did best on Firm for spinal stability and easier movement. Edge sitting felt less secure than on the hybrid, especially in Plush, so couples who use the full edge may prefer Legacy Premier.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Three firmness choices in one model line | Edge support lags behind the hybrid option |
| Cooling-focused design compared with older foam beds | Heavier bodies in Plush may feel some roll-off |
| Strong pressure relief, especially in Plush and Medium | Firm version can feel too dense for some lighter side sleepers |
| Premium feel within the Novaform range | Price lands higher than ComfortGrande or SoFresh |
Details
- Price range: $749–$899 (size/retailer).
- Build: 14" four-layer all-foam.
- Firmness: Plush, Medium, Firm.
- Cooling: PerfectTemp Phase Change + cooling cover.
- Sizes: Queen, King (others vary by retailer).
- Support: Full-body foam alignment focus.
- Pressure relief: Thick comfort stack.
- Motion: High isolation.
- Warranty: 20-year limited (brand listing).
- Shipping/returns: Retailer-dependent.
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.4 | Firm holds hips and back securely; Plush still keeps alignment reasonable for lighter bodies. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.8 | Plush and Medium gave standout shoulder and hip relief for side sleepers. |
| Cooling | 4.6 | Cooling materials and cover helped reduce early-night heat buildup in our tests. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.7 | Partner shifts barely moved the surface under water-glass tests. |
| Edge Support | 3.7 | Foam perimeter compressed under heavy edge sitting, especially in Plush. |
| Responsiveness | 3.8 | Transition foams help movement, but the feel is still traditional memory-foam slow. |
| Durability | 4.3 | Robust 14-inch build and premium foams inspire confidence for long-term use. |
| Value | 4.2 | Higher price, but the firmness options and cooling focus can justify it for hot sleepers. |
| Overall Score | 4.4 | Strong pick for foam lovers who want cooling options and adjustable firmness. |
Novaform Legacy Premier Support 14"
Our Testing Experience
Legacy Premier Support was the most “structural” mattress we tested. The zoned coil unit held hips up and made the bed feel more buoyant and stable than the all-foam models.
For Lena, Medium felt supportive but not plush enough for all-night side sleeping. For Marcus, Firm was the clear winner: consistent lumbar lift, firmer edges, and less heat buildup than the thicker foam beds.
Motion transfer was higher than the all-foam beds but still controlled for a hybrid. If you want the steadiest perimeter and the strongest lift in the lineup, this is it.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Zoned coil system with strong lumbar lift | Higher price inside Novaform range |
| HighRise edge support feels sturdy and reliable | Motion transfer sits above all-foam models |
| Medium and Firm choices cover many back and stomach sleepers | Lighter side sleepers may want softer shoulders |
| Cool-touch cover plus coil airflow help hot sleepers | Limited size range on some retailer listings |
Details
- Price range: $899–$1,199 (size/retailer).
- Build: 14" hybrid, six layers.
- Comfort: LURAlux support foam + comfort foams.
- Core: Zoned Back Lift coils + HighRise edge.
- Firmness: Medium, Firm.
- Cooling: Cool-touch cover + coil airflow.
- Sizes: Full, Queen, King.
- Warranty: 20-year limited (brand listing).
- Returns: Retailer-dependent.
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.7 | Zoned coils and firm base keep hips elevated, even for heavier sleepers. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.1 | Foam comfort layers soften impact, but focus remains on lift rather than plushness. |
| Cooling | 4.3 | Coil airflow plus cool cover helped with heat buildup for our hot sleeper. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.0 | Some bounce from coils, still acceptable for many couples. |
| Edge Support | 4.7 | Reinforced perimeter stayed solid during long edge-sitting sessions. |
| Responsiveness | 4.2 | Easier position changes than deep memory-foam beds. |
| Durability | 4.6 | Hybrid build and premium materials feel built for long service life. |
| Value | 4.0 | Strong performance, though price sits near the top of Novaform’s range. |
| Overall Score | 4.4 | Excellent pick for back-focused sleepers wanting hybrid lift and sturdy edges. |
Novaform Advanced Back Support Plus 12"
Our Testing Experience
Advanced Back Support Plus is a firm, responsive foam build that pushes back immediately. The center felt lifted, with a clear lumbar-support intention.
Lena could tolerate it on her back but felt shoulder pressure on her side. Marcus liked it during sore-back weeks because it kept his hips from sinking and made turning easy.
Cooling was fine for a foam bed thanks to the thinner, faster-responding stack, but it’s not the most cooling-focused model here. Choose it if you specifically want a firm foam mattress for back support.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Very firm feel that supports sore backs | Too firm for many side sleepers and lighter users |
| Zoned foam system targets core and lumbar regions | Minimal plushness for people who like a soft first impression |
| Responsive surface helps with repositioning | A bit flat for those who want deep contouring |
| Clear back-support focus | More “functional” than “luxury” in feel |
Details
- Price range: $399–$649 (size/retailer).
- Build: 12" triple-layer responsive foam.
- Firmness: Firm.
- Foams: LURAcor + contoured + zoned memory foam.
- Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King.
- Cooling: Open-cell foams; moderate.
- Motion: Good isolation.
- Warranty: 20-year limited (brand listing).
- Returns: Retailer-dependent.
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.6 | Firm zoned foam keeps hips and back elevated for many back sleepers. |
| Pressure Relief | 3.8 | Side sleepers felt clear firmness and some pressure at shoulders and hips. |
| Cooling | 4.0 | No advanced cooling tech, but open foams and thinner profile stayed reasonable. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.4 | Firm slab quieted partner movement effectively. |
| Edge Support | 3.8 | Firmer foam helped, yet edges still compress more than hybrid borders. |
| Responsiveness | 4.2 | Quick surface response for a foam mattress, easy to roll and pivot. |
| Durability | 4.4 | Simple, dense foam stack inspires confidence for long-term use. |
| Value | 4.3 | Strong pricing for a focused back-support option. |
| Overall Score | 4.2 | Great for people who truly want a firm back-support mattress. |
Novaform SoFresh Plus 10"
Our Testing Experience
SoFresh Plus is the maintenance-first model. The removable washable cover and copper-infused foam give it a clean, practical feel.
On my back, it felt springier and shallower than the 14-inch foam beds. Lena found it supportive and easy to move on, but she still wanted Serafina for long side-sleep nights.
Marcus was comfortable for short stays, but the 10-inch build felt lean under his weight. For teens, lighter adults, and guest rooms—especially when a washable cover matters—SoFresh makes sense.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Washable moisture-wicking cover simplifies hygiene | Thinner profile feels less substantial for heavier users |
| Copper-infused foam with antimicrobial protection | Less “luxury” hug for long-term primary use |
| Responsive medium feel works for many teens and guests | Edge support only average under heavy sitting |
| Attractive pricing for a washable-cover mattress | Only one firmness option |
Details
- Price range: $329–$549 (size/retailer).
- Build: 10" triple-layer foam.
- Foams: LURAcor + copper-infused + memory foam.
- Firmness: Medium.
- Cover: Removable, moisture-wicking, washable.
- Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King.
- Cooling: Breathable cover + copper layer.
- Warranty: 20-year limited (brand listing).
- Returns: Retailer-dependent.

| Cooling | 4.2 | Copper-infused foam and breathable cover kept the bed feeling dry and fresh. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.2 | All-foam stack handled partner shifts quietly. |

| Value | 4.4 | Strong proposition for guest rooms, teens, and budget-conscious shoppers. |
| Overall Score | 4.1 | Smart, hygienic choice for lighter sleepers or secondary bedrooms. |

How to Choose the Novaform Mattress?
Start with your sleep position and body weight—the core of how to choose a mattress—then decide whether you want slow memory-foam contouring or a more lifted hybrid feel.
If you’re a light-weight side sleeper, start with Serafina Plush for the most shoulder give. ComfortGrande can work if you like a firmer medium feel; SoFresh is best for short stays and smaller bodies.
Average-weight back sleeper usually land well on ComfortGrande or Serafina Medium. If you want more lift and edges, step up to Legacy Premier.
hot sleeper who still want foam should look at Serafina first. If airflow matters more than contouring, Legacy Premier’s hybrid build is the coolest-feeling option we tested.
Heavier couple typically do best on Legacy Premier Firm for support and usable edge space. Advanced Back Support Plus can work if you specifically want very firm all-foam.
For a teen or guest-room, SoFresh is the easiest to live with thanks to the washable cover. ComfortGrande is the better thicker foam option for more frequent use.
Limitations
This lineup won’t fit every edge case. Extremely heavy sleepers who want an ultra-tall, ultra-firm hybrid may prefer a specialty brand. And if you want a bouncy, old-school innerspring feel, none of these models really delivers that style.
