Novilla Grove Hybrid Mattress Reviews (2026)

The Grove is an easy recommendation for shoppers who want a supportive, medium to medium-firm hybrid at a low price. Its foam softens the surface without slowing movement, while the coil core keeps the hips level and allows heat to clear more readily than it does in many inexpensive all-foam mattresses.

The compromise is at the perimeter and in the comfort layers. Sleeping near the edge felt stable, but sitting there caused noticeably more sink. Side sleepers who need deep shoulder cushioning will get better pressure relief from a softer, thicker comfort system.

• Best for

  • Back and combination sleepers who prefer a balanced, responsive surface

  • Guest-room shoppers who need broad comfort at a modest price

  • People who dislike the slow, enveloping feel of dense memory foam

• Look elsewhere if

  • You are a lightweight side sleeper who needs deeper shoulder cushioning

  • You regularly sit at the edge while dressing or getting into bed

  • You want a distinctly plush or highly springy mattress

The 12-inch queen went through the same hands-on process used for our other mattresses, including checks for firmness, support, temperature control, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and construction quality. Sleepers rotated between back and side positions, tracked stiffness and pressure points, repeated partner-disturbance checks, and measured how quickly the foam recovered after pressure was removed.

Our Testing Experience

After fully expanding, our 12-inch queen measured 11.8 inches and felt like a 6.5 out of 10 for firmness. The top compressed enough to take pressure off the body without creating a deep cradle. Rolling from side to back took little effort, and the surface returned to about 90% of its height 1.4 seconds after a 44-pound load was removed.

Mia had enough room for her shoulder to settle while side sleeping, although she was more comfortable with a slightly taller pillow. Marcus, who usually notices heat quickly, found the surface comfortable through the night. It warmed by 4.7°F after 30 minutes and came back to within 1.2°F of its starting temperature 10 minutes after he got up. Motion from routine turns stayed subdued; only abrupt movement crossed the bed clearly.

The perimeter was the clearest weakness. Under the same seated load, it compressed 3.1 inches near the edge versus 2.2 inches at the center. That difference was obvious when sitting to put on shoes, but it did not make sleeping near the edge feel unstable.

What we liked

• Balanced support kept the hips level without making the surface feel hard.
• The foam recovered quickly enough for easy position changes.
• The coil core limited heat buildup at this price.

Who it is best for

• Average-weight back sleepers and combination sleepers.
• Partners who want useful motion control without an unresponsive surface.
• Guest rooms where a neutral, medium-firm feel serves more people.

Where it falls short

• The edge loses more height under seated weight than the center.
• Lightweight side sleepers may not get enough shoulder cushioning.
• The surface feels responsive but not especially bouncy.

• Price: Listed from about $150 during this review; size, height, and promotions change the final price.

• Type: Hybrid.

• Height options: 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 inches; availability changes by configuration.

• Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King, and California King appear in the lineup, but not in every height.

• Feel: Our 12-inch queen felt medium to medium-firm; other profiles may feel different.

Choose the Grove if you change positions during the night, prefer a flatter foam feel, or need a guest-room mattress that can suit different sleepers. The 12-inch model worked especially well for average-weight back and combination sleepers. Its coil core also gave it a more breathable feel than many inexpensive all-foam beds, which is useful if you tend to sleep hot. If you are lightweight and spend most of the night on your side, choose a softer mattress with more room for the shoulder to sink.

The perimeter is the main compromise. It remained stable while lying close to the edge, but sitting there to dress produced more sink than hybrids with firmer edge support. The comfort layers provide moderate rather than deep pressure relief, so lightweight side sleepers may notice shoulder pressure. Because firmness and availability change across the height options, do not assume another Grove will feel exactly like the 12-inch sample reviewed here.

Linenspa 8-Inch Memory Foam Hybrid

The Linenspa 8-Inch Hybrid is the cheaper, more basic option. Its thinner comfort layer and springier feel work well for a lightly used guest room, a child or teen, or a shopper with a strict budget. The 12-inch Grove offers more cushioning and a steadier transition between foam and coils, making it the better everyday choice for most adults.

Chime 12-Inch Hybrid

The Chime 12-Inch Hybrid is a closer match in height but has a softer quilted surface and more pronounced contouring. It is the better alternative for side sleepers who want extra cushioning and shoppers who value a longer home trial. Choose the Grove for a lower price, easier movement, and a flatter medium-firm feel.

• As with most mattresses in a box, let it fully expand before judging the height or feel.

• Use breathable sheets instead of heavy microfiber if heat buildup is a concern.

• If you sleep on your side, a slightly higher-loft pillow can help keep your neck level.

• Rotate the mattress regularly so the comfort layers wear more evenly.

• Place it on a rigid, supportive foundation.

• For a little more cushioning, use a thin responsive topper; a thick, slow foam topper will reduce the easy movement that makes the Grove appealing.

The 12-inch model kept the hips from sinking too far during back sleeping, which helped maintain a neutral position. Comfort needs vary, though, and a mattress is not a treatment for back pain.

It managed heat well for a budget hybrid. The pocket-coil core allowed more airflow than the inexpensive all-foam beds in our comparison, although bedding and room temperature still affect how warm it feels.

Routine turns stayed subdued, and getting into or out of bed did not send a strong ripple across the surface. Abrupt movement was easier to notice, so very light sleepers may prefer stronger motion isolation.

Probably not. The comfort foam has some give, but it recovered quickly enough that turns and small adjustments required little effort.
