OC Mattress Reviews

Across the lineup, the spring models all share a familiar “store” feel: quick response, decent airflow, and a little bounce. The differences come from thickness and comfort layers. Atlas and Sugar Beach sit in the entry tier, Maverick feels like the most versatile middle option, and Bayside is the most complete build for day-in, day-out use. The 2000 foam model is the outlier—slower, quieter, and better at dampening partner movement.

Weight and sleep position shaped the results fast. Marcus (6'1", ~230 lb) ran into the limits of the thinner builds on his side, but consistently liked Bayside’s deeper support. Mia (5'4", ~125 lb) cared most about shoulder and hip comfort and preferred Sugar Beach or the 2000 for side sleeping. On the middle models, Maverick and Bayside kept alignment steadier for back and combination sleepers without feeling harsh.

For couples, the spring beds ranged from “fine” to “too lively.” Atlas was the bounciest, while Maverick and Bayside buffered movement enough for many pairs. The 2000 was the clear winner for motion isolation, with the tradeoff that foam can feel warmer and less springy when you change positions.

We used a repeatable process that mixes structured checks with real sleep time. Each mattress went through setup, off-gassing notes, initial firmness mapping, and then multi-week rotations so we could track how the feel settled after break-in.

For support and alignment, we checked side, back, and stomach positions across lighter, average, and heavier body types. We also paid attention to common “red flag” spots—hips sinking on back sleep, shoulder pinch on side sleep, and stomach-sleep sway through the midsection.

Couple testing focused on motion transfer and edge stability. We used a consistent partner-movement routine (in, out, rolling, and shifting) plus simple disturbance checks to see how far energy traveled across the surface.

Finally, we translated notes into scores for support, pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, durability outlook, and value. No score made it into the chart without at least two testers backing it up.

Our Testing Experience

Atlas is a slim, straightforward spring mattress. At 8 inches, it feels more like a guest-room or kids’ bed build—but plenty of people still buy this thickness for everyday use.

On my back, Atlas kept my hips up and my lower back supported. The tradeoff showed up the moment I stayed on my side: I felt pressure build in my top shoulder much faster than on the thicker models.

Marcus could use it for back and stomach sleep, but side sleeping was short-lived for him. Jenna and Ethan also flagged it as the liveliest bed in the group—fine for a solo sleeper, harder for a motion-sensitive couple.

If you want a firmer, budget-leaning spring feel and you mainly sleep on your back or stomach, Atlas makes sense. If you’re a strict side sleeper or you share a bed, it’s the most limited option we tested.

Our Testing Experience

Sugar Beach immediately felt softer on contact than Atlas. The plusher quilting gave my shoulder a gentler landing and made side sleeping more realistic without feeling unstable.

Mia preferred this model for shoulder and hip comfort. Marcus, on the other hand, reached its support limits sooner—especially on stomach sleep—because the plush top compresses faster under more weight.

For couples, it’s an improvement over Atlas, but it still behaves like a traditional spring bed. You’ll feel more motion than you would on an all-foam mattress.

Sugar Beach is a sensible pick for lighter to average side sleepers who want a spring feel with a softer first impression, especially for guest rooms or secondary bedrooms.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Price (Queen, approx.): From $399
• Profile height: 9 inches
• Firmness feel: Plush-medium (about 5–6/10)
• Construction type: Innerspring with a plush quilted comfort layer
• Best for: Lighter side sleepers; guest rooms; anyone who wants a softer spring surface
• Warranty: 10-year non-prorated warranty is listed for this model.
• Notes: Still has some bounce and motion transfer.

Our Testing Experience

Maverick felt like the first “main bedroom” build in the lineup. The extra height adds comfort layers that smooth out pressure without taking away the easy-to-move spring feel.

For my combination sleeping, it hit a true medium balance: my hips settled a bit, then stopped at a supportive level. Carlos also liked how evenly it held alignment when shifting from back to side.

Jenna and Ethan found it noticeably calmer than the thinner spring models. You can still tell when a partner moves, but it’s less sharp and less jarring.

If you want one OC Mattress model to cover the most sleepers and positions, Maverick is the safest “middle lane” choice in this set.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Price (Queen, approx.): From $529
• Profile height: 11.5 inches
• Firmness feel: Medium to medium-firm (about 6–7/10, depending on body weight)
• Construction type: Spring mattress with a thicker comfort-foam stack
• Best for: Back, combo, and mixed-position sleepers; many couples; everyday use
• Warranty: 20-year non-prorated warranty is listed for this model.
• Notes: Edge support is usable but can compress more for heavier sleepers.

Our Testing Experience

Bayside is the biggest build we tested, and you feel that extra depth right away. It has a more finished, “flagship” presence and a steadier blend of cushion and pushback.

For Marcus and Jamal, this model delivered the most consistent support over time. It kept hips from sinking too far on back and stomach sleep while still softening shoulders enough for side turns.

Compared with Maverick, Bayside added a bit more stability near the edge and a slightly more controlled, grounded feel. Motion isolation still isn’t foam-level, but it was manageable for most couples in our group.

If you’re shopping the OC Mattress house line for a primary bed—especially at average-to-heavier weights—Bayside was the most convincing performer overall.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Price (Queen, approx.): From $589
• Profile height: 13.5 inches
• Firmness feel: Medium leaning firm (about 6.5/10)
• Construction type: Thicker spring build with a deeper comfort stack and reinforced perimeter
• Best for: Average to heavier sleepers; combination sleepers; primary bedrooms
• Warranty: A non-prorated warranty is listed for this model; confirm the current term for your configuration.
• Notes: Heavier to rotate than the other models.

Our Testing Experience

The 2000 is the only all-foam model in this group, and it changes the feel immediately. It has a slower, more contouring response than the spring beds, with noticeably better motion control.

Jenna and Ethan kept coming back to this mattress because it reduced partner disturbance the most in our simple movement tests. Mia also liked the gentler pressure relief on her shoulder compared with the firmer spring options.

The tradeoffs were typical memory-foam ones: it can sleep warmer than coils, and heavier testers felt more “in” the mattress than “on” it. Edge support also felt weaker than on the thicker spring builds.

If your top priority is quiet sleep in a shared bed or a smaller space, the 2000 was the clear specialist pick in this lineup.

Pros & Cons

Details

• Price (Queen, approx.): From $649
• Profile height: 8 inches
• Firmness feel: Medium (about 6/10)
• Construction type: Gel memory foam over a dense support-foam core
• Best for: Motion-sensitive couples; apartments; sleepers who like foam contouring
• Warranty: 20-year non-prorated warranty is listed for this model.
• Notes: Expect less bounce and more warmth than the spring models.

Review Score

Start with sleep position, body weight, and whether you share the bed. These five models cover distinct lanes, and the “right” choice depends more on how you sleep than on the label on the showroom floor.

For lighter side sleepers, Sugar Beach and the 2000 are the most forgiving. Sugar Beach keeps a springy feel with a softer top, while the 2000 adds deeper contouring and better motion isolation, with less bounce and potentially more warmth.

For back and combination sleepers around average weight, Maverick and Bayside are the easiest fits. Maverick is the most balanced value play; Bayside adds more depth, edge stability, and a more finished feel for a primary bed.

If you’re heavier or prefer a steadier surface, Bayside was the most consistent. Atlas and Sugar Beach can run out of depth faster for bigger bodies, especially in side sleeping.

If you sleep hot, the spring models are safer bets for airflow. If you pick the 2000, plan on lighter bedding and a breathable setup to help offset foam heat.
