Qube mattresses are premium retail beds built around a gel-cube layer designed to boost airflow and add targeted cushioning. The lineup includes three hybrid models and one all-foam option. We tested all four for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability. Every model stayed noticeably cool and stable in our tests, but the feel—and the price—change quickly as you move up the range.

| Qube Intrigue | 4.5 | Firm, stable support; strong cooling; good alignment | Too firm for some side sleepers; slight motion transfer | Back/stomach sleepers, heavier sleepers, “no-sink” fans | $2,799–$6,998 (varies by size) |

Testing Team Takeaways
Across the lineup, Indulge felt the most well-rounded for mixed-position sleepers: it has a buoyant surface, but it still takes pressure off the hips and shoulders. Immerse gave the deepest contouring of the hybrids and handled partner movement best, making it a strong pick for side sleepers and many couples. Intrigue leaned firmer and more supportive through the midsection, helping back and stomach sleepers stay aligned, though lighter side sleepers may find it too stiff. AeroQube delivered the strongest motion isolation at the lowest price, but its edges and bounce don’t match the hybrid models.

How We Tested It
I slept on each model for at least two weeks at home, then did side-by-side comparison nights to spot the small differences. Marcus focused on heat buildup, edge stability, and how quickly the surface rebounded after weight was removed. Mia tracked shoulder and hip pressure during longer side-sleep stretches. Jenna ran the partner-motion tests with Ethan, including repeated sit/stand and roll-over drills. We scored each mattress using our How We Test Mattresses framework for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability.

| Qube Indulge | 4.7 | 4.9 | 4.6 | 4.7 | 4.4 | 4.8 | 4.6 |

Indulge led the group with the best blend of support, edge stability, and overall durability. Immerse was close behind and scored highest for pressure relief and motion isolation among the hybrids. Intrigue delivered the firmest, most alignment-focused feel—ideal for back and stomach sleepers, but less forgiving for lightweight side sleepers. AeroQube posted the strongest motion isolation score and costs less, with trade-offs in edge support and responsiveness.
How to Choose the Qube Mattress?
Start with your sleep position. If you rotate between back and side, Indulge’s buoyant surface makes it easy to change positions without losing support. Side sleepers who want more contouring should look at Immerse, which delivered the best pressure relief in our group. If you sleep mostly on your back or stomach, Intrigue’s firmer build helps keep the hips from dipping and supports a flatter posture.
Next, think about partner movement, temperature, and price. Couples who wake easily may prefer Immerse or AeroQube for their stronger motion control. If you sleep hot, every model in this lineup is built for airflow, but the hybrids typically feel a touch more breathable over long nights. Finally, AeroQube is the value play, while Indulge is the premium pick if you’ve already dialed in your mattress firmness and feel preferences.
Limitations
These results reflect our hands-on testing, but a mattress can feel different depending on body weight, sleep position, and the foundation underneath it. We tested the beds in both controlled checks and real bedrooms, but long-term durability is based on construction and materials rather than years of use. If you’re deciding between two models, a longer in-store tryout (or your retailer’s exchange policy) can help confirm the right feel.
Qube Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- You want a cooler surface without relying only on gel-infused foam.
- You prefer a buoyant, supportive feel over a deep foam hug.
- You like trying mattresses in-store and working with a retailer on exchanges.
Alternatives to consider
- Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Breeze, if you want a strong memory-foam contour with a cooling focus.
- Purple RestorePlus Hybrid, if you like a more responsive, grid-style feel.
- Sleep Number Climate360, if you want adjustability and climate features and budget is less of a constraint.
Pro Tips for Qube Mattress
- Use breathable sheets and a thin protector if you’re buying Qube mainly for cooling.
- Give yourself a few weeks to adapt; the QUBE layer can feel different from standard foam.
- If you’re a side sleeper, keep pillow height consistent when you test—shoulder pressure changes fast.
- For couples, test at night: roll over, sit on the edge, and see if movement wakes you.
- Choosing between Indulge and Immerse comes down to feel: Indulge is more buoyant; Immerse contours more.
- Intrigue is the firmest hybrid in the lineup; AeroQube sits closer to a true medium feel.
- A solid foundation helps these beds feel more consistent from edge to edge.
- Rotate the mattress as recommended by your retailer to help even out wear.
- Check exchange fees and delivery terms—especially if you plan to swap within the 365-night guarantee.
FAQs
Which Qube model isolates motion best?
In our tests, AeroQube had the least movement transfer. Among the hybrids, Immerse dampened motion the best.
Is Qube worth the price?
If you want a cool, buoyant feel with targeted cushioning, the QUBE layer can be a real differentiator. Prices are premium on the hybrid models, so AeroQube makes more sense if you want the technology at a lower cost.
Can side sleepers use Intrigue?
Some can—especially sleepers who prefer a firmer surface or need more support—but lightweight side sleepers may find it too stiff at the shoulder. For most side sleepers, Immerse was the more comfortable option in our tests.
