SomosBeds sits in the bed-in-a-box value tier with a lineup that leans into straightforward foams and coil-based builds, with a clear focus on cooling and pressure relief. In testing, we looked for stable lumbar support, shoulder/hip comfort for side sleeping, and whether each model stays calm when you shift positions. Some models felt balanced; others were more niche.
Product Overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SomosBeds Inspire 2.0 Firm Mattress | 3.9 | Firm, steady surface; strong motion control | Less forgiving for sharp pressure points | Back/stomach sleepers wanting a firmer foam feel | From $549.99 |
| SomosBeds Restorative Medium Mattress | 4.1 | Balanced cushion + support; notably even pressure relief | Edge feels less “locked-in” than hybrids | Mixed-position sleepers who want medium foam | From $649.99 |
| SomosBeds Mayfield Plush Mattress | 4.1 | Plush top with easier turn-and-settle; more springy than all-foam | Plush feel can be too buoyant for firm-only fans | Lighter side sleepers and anyone chasing a softer top | From $399.99 |
| SomosBeds Extreme Cooling Medium Hybrid Mattress | 4.4 | Best cooling feel; supportive core with usable edges | More “hybrid bounce” than slow-melt foam | Hot sleepers and combination sleepers needing support | From $949.99 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Across the four, the Extreme Cooling Medium Hybrid was the most consistently strong, especially for temperature control and edge stability. The Restorative Medium was the easiest “middle-ground” foam pick. Mayfield Plush catered best to lighter side sleepers who want immediate surface softness. Inspire 2.0 Firm ran the firmest and most no-nonsense, but it was also the least forgiving at shoulders and hips for side sleeping.

How We Tested It
We rotated sleepers across each model and kept the same frame, sheets, and room conditions so differences felt attributable to the mattress itself. We scored Support, Cooling, Pressure Relief, Motion Isolation, Responsiveness, Edge Support, and Durability using repeatable checks: alignment after a full night, heat buildup after two hours, pressure “hot spots” at shoulders/hips, partner-style disturbance tests, ease of turning, edge sit/lie stability, and how the surface felt after weeks of use.
SomosBeds Mattress: Our Testing Experience
SomosBeds Inspire 2.0 Firm Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The first thing I noticed was how “level” the surface felt once it settled—less of that slow, enveloping hug and more of a firm platform with a thin comfort buffer. Marcus immediately pushed on the middle and edges, then did a full night on his back and stomach; he stayed supported, but he also flagged mild heat buildup after the first stretch of sleep. Mia tried side sleeping and kept shifting her shoulder position, like she was looking for a softer pocket that never fully showed up.
What we liked:
-
Quiet, stable foam feel when changing positions
-
Very low partner disturbance in our movement checks
-
Firm surface that stayed predictable
Who it is best for:
-
Back or stomach sleepers who want firm foam
-
People who prefer less sink and more “on top” feel
Where it falls short:
-
Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders/hips
-
Hot sleepers wanting a cooler surface feel
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Very stable, firm foam feel | Not the most pressure-friendly for side sleeping |
| Strong motion isolation | Cooling is good, not exceptional |
| Simple, easy-to-predict support | Edges feel less reinforced than hybrids |

Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Support | 4.1 | Firm foam core stayed level for back/stomach sleeping. |
| Cooling | 4.0 | Gel/open-cell build helped, but it wasn’t the coolest feel in the set. |
| Pressure Relief | 3.8 | Adequate for back sleepers; side-sleep pressure points showed up sooner. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.5 | Movement stayed localized and muted. |

| Edge Support | 3.6 | Usable, but not as confidence-inspiring as foam-encased hybrids. |
| Durability | 3.7 | Simple foam stack felt consistent, though thinner builds are less forgiving long-term. |
| Overall | 3.9 | A firm, controlled foam feel with clear side-sleep trade-offs. |
SomosBeds Restorative Medium Mattress
Our Testing Experience
This one felt like the “settle in and stop thinking” option. When I alternated between back and side, the top had enough give to take the edge off my hips without letting my lower back sag into a soft trough. Carlos did long, still back-sleep stretches and kept checking whether his mid-back was getting that tired, slightly arched feeling; it stayed even night to night. Mia was the quickest to call out the difference versus the firmer models—less shoulder fight, more natural neck line when she stayed on her side.
What we liked:
-
Balanced cushion-to-support transition
-
More forgiving pressure relief than the firm foam model
-
Consistent feel from the first hour to the last
Who it is best for:
-
Combination sleepers wanting a medium foam feel
-
Side sleepers who want cushion without a deep sink
Where it falls short:
-
People who want a bouncy hybrid feel
-
Anyone who relies on very strong edge rigidity
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced medium feel that suits mixed positions | Less “edge lock” than hybrids |
| Strong pressure relief for most body types | Not as quick/bouncy for frequent repositioning |
| Good cooling surface feel | Foam feel can be too muted for spring fans |

| Cooling | 4.3 | The cover and open-cell foam helped keep the surface from feeling warm. |

SomosBeds Mayfield Plush Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Mayfield immediately felt softer up top, but not in a collapsing way—more like a plush layer that gives, then hands you off to the coil support underneath. Mia stayed on her side longer here than on any other model; she stopped doing that micro-adjustment at the shoulder and just fell asleep. Marcus tested edge sit and then rolled close to the perimeter; the foam-encased edge felt more solid than the all-foam beds, though he still preferred the firmer hybrids for “locked-in” hip support. I noticed the biggest difference when I switched positions: it felt easier to turn without dragging through foam.
What we liked:
-
Plush surface that helped side sleepers relax quickly
-
Easier repositioning than all-foam options
-
More supportive perimeter feel for edge use
Who it is best for:
-
Lighter to average-weight side sleepers
-
Anyone who wants plush comfort without an overly slow foam feel
Where it falls short:
-
Strict firm-mattress shoppers
-
Heavier stomach sleepers who need a flatter, firmer top
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Plush top with a supportive coil “catch” | Plush feel won’t satisfy firm-only preferences |
| Quicker response than all-foam | Can feel too buoyant for people who want deep contouring |
| Foam-encased perimeter improves edge use | Not the strongest pick for heavier stomach sleeping |

| Support | 3.9 | Supportive coils, but the plush top can feel less flat for heavier sleepers. |
| Cooling | 4.2 | Coil airflow plus gel foam felt cooler than basic foams in our checks. |

| Responsiveness | 4.2 | Turning was easy and didn’t feel sticky or slow. |
| Edge Support | 4.1 | Foam encasement helped edge sitting and near-edge sleep feel steadier. |
| Durability | 3.8 | Plush quilting can show impressions sooner than firmer builds over time. |
| Overall | 4.1 | A plush, side-sleeper-friendly option with a more responsive feel. |
SomosBeds Extreme Cooling Medium Hybrid Mattress
Our Testing Experience
This is the model that felt most purpose-built. The surface had that noticeably cool initial touch, and it held onto that advantage longer into the night than the others. I could read in bed and then roll to my side without feeling like my hips were sinking too far past the comfort layers. Marcus, who runs hot, called it the first one where he didn’t wake up doing the blanket kick-off routine. Carlos focused on the transition from foam to coils—no abrupt “drop,” just a steady handoff that kept his mid-back from tightening. When we pushed edge use, the perimeter held up the best across the four.
What we liked:
-
Best cooling feel and least heat buildup
-
Strong, even support with a stable edge
-
Responsive turns without losing pressure relief
Who it is best for:
-
Hot sleepers who still want real support
-
Combination sleepers who move between back and side
Where it falls short:
-
People who want the quietest, most muted all-foam feel
-
Ultra-plush shoppers who want deeper top-layer sink
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong cooling feel that lasts through the night | More bounce than all-foam models |
| Supportive coil core with usable edges | Not a “sink in and disappear” plush surface |
| Balanced comfort layers for mixed positions | Higher price tier than the entry models |

If you want the most even performance, the Extreme Cooling Medium Hybrid is the clear leader—no weak links, with standout Cooling. Restorative Medium is the most balanced all-foam scorecard, with top-tier Motion Isolation. Mayfield Plush wins Pressure Relief for lighter side sleepers, but trades away some Support for heavier sleepers. Inspire 2.0 Firm is the value-firm pick with strong Motion Isolation, but it’s the least forgiving on pressure points.
Choosing the Right SomosBeds Mattress
Start with sleep position and heat: side sleepers usually need more pressure relief, while back/stomach sleepers need a flatter, firmer surface. If you sleep hot, prioritize the Extreme Cooling Medium Hybrid; if you want foam quietness and medium balance, choose Restorative Medium. Lightweight side sleepers who want immediate softness should look at Mayfield Plush. If you want a firmer foam feel and minimal motion, Inspire 2.0 Firm is the most straightforward option.
Limitations
Across the lineup, the biggest trade-off is feel preference: the foams are quieter and more motion-deadening, while the coil builds are easier to move on and tend to feel more “alive.” Mayfield Plush can feel too soft up top for heavier stomach sleepers. Inspire 2.0 Firm can feel too firm for sensitive shoulders/hips. If you demand a very rigid edge for frequent sitting, the hybrids are the safer bet than the all-foam models.
SomosBeds Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models:
-
You want simple, legible feel differences (firm foam, medium foam, plush coil, cooling hybrid)
-
You care about cooling builds and breathable constructions
-
You want a lineup that covers multiple sleep styles without getting overly complex
Alternatives to consider:
-
Nectar Memory Foam: for a more traditional slow-sink foam feel
-
DreamCloud Hybrid: for a more “hotel hybrid” bounce and support profile
-
Tuft & Needle Original: for a responsive foam feel that’s less plush than Mayfield
Pro Tips for SomosBeds Mattress
-
Give any boxed mattress a full day to expand before judging firmness.
-
Use a breathable mattress protector; thick protectors can trap heat and change feel.
-
If you sleep hot, pair cooling sheets with a lighter comforter to prevent heat stacking.
-
For foam models, rotate the mattress periodically to even out wear patterns.
-
If you sit on the edge daily (shoes, laptop time), favor the hybrids for better perimeter stability.
-
Match your pillow loft to your sleep position; it changes how you perceive support.
-
Side sleepers: keep hips level by using a thin knee pillow if you notice twisting.
-
Back sleepers: try a small lumbar pillow for the first week if you’re adapting to firmer support.
-
If motion is your top issue, pick foam first; if ease of turning is top priority, pick hybrid/coil first.
