Perlecare’s current mattress lineup centers on a cooling-oriented, all-foam bed-in-a-box built around gel foam and a medium feel. In our multi-week testing, the standout strengths were motion isolation and pressure relief, while the main drawbacks were average edge stability and only moderate cooling for true hot sleepers. It’s best for most back and combo sleepers, less ideal for people who want bounce.
Product Overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perlecare Graphene Cooling Memory Foam Mattress (New Version) | 3.9 | Strong motion isolation; balanced medium feel; good pressure relief | Edge support is only average; limited bounce | Couples who dislike partner movement; back and combo sleepers | $198.49 (Twin), $275.99 (Queen) |
How We Tested It
We rotated a consistent protocol across support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability cues. I logged nightly notes on lumbar support and hip alignment, plus “reading-in-bed” comfort for sustained posture. Marcus pressure-tested hip support and heat buildup; Mia focused on shoulder/hip pressure during long side-sleep blocks. Jenna and Ethan ran shared-bed scenarios to evaluate motion isolation, edge use, and how easy it felt to reposition without friction.
Perlecare Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Before we got into the sleep scoring, the first week was mostly about setup and settling. We unboxed the mattress in the morning so it could air out and expand before anyone tried to sleep on it. By evening it looked fully formed, and the feel stayed consistent from night two onward: a medium surface with a noticeable foam “hug,” but not the deep sand-trap you get from softer memory foam.
Over the following weeks, I kept returning to two practical questions: does it keep my hips from drifting out of line when I end up half-on-my-side, and does it feel calm when someone else moves? That’s where this build started to separate itself from other budget-to-midrange foam beds.

Our Testing Experience
On night one, I noticed the surface feel right away: a medium, slightly conforming top that took the edge off my lower-back tightness without letting my hips dip. When I rolled from back to side, the foam followed me, but it didn’t snap back fast; it was more of a slow, steady “reset.” Marcus leaned into the center third and said it stayed supportive under his hips, but he also called out warmth when the room ran hotter. Mia’s reaction was immediate: her shoulder sank enough to keep her neck from cranking upward, but she still wanted a touch more plushness at the very top. Jenna and Ethan’s shared nights were the clearest win—movement stayed muted, even with Ethan’s frequent turning.

Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Support | 4.0 | Kept my hips level during back-to-side transitions; heavier sleepers still get decent midsection support, though it’s not “extra-firm” stable. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.2 | Foam contouring took pressure off shoulders and outer hips; best when you let it settle under you rather than constantly shifting. |
| Cooling | 3.8 | Cooling elements help at the margin, but it’s still an all-foam bed that can hold warmth in a hot room. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.4 | Shared-bed movement stayed muted in Jenna/Ethan testing; one of the clearest strengths. |
| Responsiveness | 3.5 | Turning is smooth but slower—more “sink and reset” than springy rebound. |
| Edge Support | 3.4 | Fine for occasional edge sitting, but long sits feel less supported than hybrid edges. |
| Durability | 3.8 | Holds shape well in the short term; early rotation and consistent base support matter for long-run feel. |
| Overall Score | 3.9 | A well-balanced, quiet all-foam option with strong pressure relief and predictable trade-offs at the edge and in bounce. |
Limitations
The brand’s current mattress offering leans heavily into an all-foam “quiet bed” design, so the trade-offs are predictable: edge sitting isn’t a highlight, and the surface won’t feel springy. Very hot sleepers may still feel heat retention during warmer months. People who need a firmer, more buoyant feel for frequent repositioning may find the slower foam response mildly restrictive.
Perlecare Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- You want strong motion isolation with a calm surface feel
- You prefer a medium comfort level with foam contouring
- You value pressure relief more than bounce and edge rigidity
Alternatives to consider
- Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: for a deeper foam hug and a slower, plusher feel
- Tuft & Needle Original: for a faster-responding foam feel that’s easier to reposition on
- Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam: for a simpler, budget-leaning foam option with a familiar feel
Pro Tips for Perlecare Mattress
-
Give it a full first-day expansion window before judging firmness; the feel settles after the initial setup period.
-
Use a stable, flat foundation; foam mattresses show their weaknesses faster on flexible slats.
-
If you sleep hot, keep bedding breathable and avoid heavy mattress pads that trap heat against the foam.
-
Rotate the mattress head-to-foot periodically to even out early impressions in the main sleep zone.
-
For edge use, treat the outer few inches as a transition area rather than a “seat”; it performs better when you’re lying down than when perched.
-
If you’re a side sleeper with sensitive shoulders, pair it with a pillow that keeps your neck neutral once your shoulder sinks in.
-
For back sleepers, focus on pelvis position: if your hips feel like they’re drifting down, your pillow stack may be driving the problem.
-
If you share the bed, test your partner’s “get in/get out” routine early; motion isolation is strong, but each couple’s sensitivity is different.
-
Keep the surface clean with spot cleaning rather than soaking; foam and moisture are a poor long-term combination.
FAQs
Does it feel firm or soft?
It reads as a medium feel: contouring at the top, with a steady base that keeps most sleepers aligned.
Is it good for couples?
Yes—movement stays muted, so partner turning is less likely to wake you.
Will it sleep cool?
It helps compared to basic foam, but it can still retain warmth in a hot room.
How are the edges?
Usable, but not a strength; long edge sitting feels less stable than many hybrid designs.
