I’m Chris Miller. Spindle has been on my must-test list for a while. Its pitch is simple: an all-organic build—Dunlop latex, cotton, and wool—with a DIY core you can rearrange instead of relying on glued foam stacks. That setup only makes sense after real nights of sleep, not a quick showroom try.
For these Spindle mattress reviews, I brought in the usual crew. Marcus Reed is heavier and sleeps hot. Mia Chen is a light side sleeper who notices shoulder pressure fast. Jenna Brooks tested with Ethan Cole, who moves enough to expose motion transfer. I’m a combination sleeper with mild low-back tightness when support drifts.
We tested every current Spindle model: the 10-inch Organic Latex Mattress, the Choose Your Firmness kit, the Organic Hybrid, and the Split Firmness King. We set them up on our own frames, under our own sheets, then swapped layers and logged full weeks of sleep—not nap-length impressions.

Testing Team Takeaways
Mia cared most about shoulder relief, and she liked how quickly the feel changed with a softer top layer. Jenna and Ethan got the biggest win from the Split Firmness King, where each side could be tuned without forcing a compromise. Latex still has some bounce, but the all-latex setups kept it manageable in our couple tests.
Marcus focused on weight limits and heat. On the all-latex build, he could feel more flex near Spindle’s stated range. On the Hybrid, the coil unit gave him firmer pushback and noticeably better airflow.
My best stack ended up medium on top, soft in the middle, and firm at the base. On my back, my hips settled and stopped. When I rolled to my side, my shoulder got a shallow cradle without twisting my torso.
Across the lineup, Spindle behaves like a modular latex system. The 10-inch all-latex bed uses three 3-inch layers that you can rearrange to shift the feel.

| Spindle 10" Organic Latex Mattress | All-latex, three-layer stack | Soft to firm by reordering layers | Twin–Cal king | 10" | Three 3" GOLS organic Dunlop latex layers | Organic wool batting, organic cotton knit cover | Breathable latex and wool; can feel warmer on solid bases | Strong alignment for most side/back sleepers under ~230 lb | Excellent once the stack matches shoulders and hips | Very quick response with classic latex bounce | Good for latex; big movements still register | Latex and quality fibers with comfort-adjust program support long life |
| Spindle Choose Your Firmness Organic Latex Mattress | All-latex with custom ILDs | Plush to very firm, set by your order | Twin–Cal king | 10" | GOLS Dunlop latex in chosen densities | Same wool and cotton system as standard latex | Similar to the standard latex bed; airflow depends on the base | More targeted support when ILDs match body weight | Easier to tune relief at shoulders or hips | Same fast latex response, adjusted by firmer or softer choices | Similar to standard; firmness choices can change how waves travel | Organic build plus extra layer options extend usable comfort window |
| Spindle Organic Hybrid Mattress | Latex hybrid with pocket coils | Medium to medium-firm | Twin–Cal king | 10" | 6" pocket-coil unit with fabric encasement | 3" organic Dunlop latex, wool batting, organic cotton cover | Coils add airflow; felt cooler for our hot sleeper | Sturdier core feel for heavier sleepers up to ~300 lb | Balanced relief with a buoyant surface | Lively response with more bounce than full latex | More motion than all-latex, still controlled | Simple, high-quality stack with robust springs and latex |
| Spindle Split Firmness Organic Latex King | All-latex with two independent sides | Different stacks per side | King only | 10" | Two separate three-layer latex stacks in one king cover | Same cotton and wool package | Similar to the standard latex bed; each side can tweak feel | Each partner can tune support to their body and position | Custom relief per side, useful for mismatched couples | Quick response, easy turning for both partners | Good within each half; slight movement across the seam | Replacement layer option plus organic build favor long-term ownership |
What We Tested and How We Tested It
Responsiveness, edges, and longevity: we timed rebound after deep presses, logged how easy turning felt, checked edge stability while sitting and sleeping near the perimeter, and watched for early cover compression. We also factored in material choices and Spindle’s long-term layer-replacement program.
Motion isolation: Jenna and Ethan ran partner-movement drills, including a half-full glass test near the hip to score ripple size.
Cooling: we combined simple sensor readings with sleep notes. We also tested on slatted foundations where Spindle recommends them, since airflow can change how latex feels overnight.
Pressure relief: we tracked shoulders, outer hips, and knees, noting when numbness or soreness showed up during longer side-sleep sessions.
Support: we checked spinal alignment in back, side, and stomach positions using side photos and long holds. Marcus and Mia helped us cover a wide weight range.
Our Spindle testing followed the same checklist we use for latex and hybrid builds, with extra attention on how different layer stacks changed the feel.
Spindle Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Spindle 10" Organic Latex Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The 10-inch Organic Latex Mattress is the core of Spindle’s lineup. Inside, it’s three 3-inch Dunlop latex layers under a cotton cover with wool batting. Nothing is glued, which means the feel comes from the layer order.
I started with Spindle’s medium-style stack: medium on top, soft in the middle, firm at the base. On my back, my hips sank a bit and then hit steady resistance. On my side, my shoulder found enough give without pulling my torso out of line.
Mia didn’t sink as far into the latex, so the same stack felt firmer for her. She liked a softer top, then medium, then firm. That change let her shoulder drop sooner while keeping her waist supported.
Marcus sat near Spindle’s stated weight guidance for the all-latex build. He found it usable, but he could feel more flex than he wanted for long-term confidence. For his body type, the Hybrid made more sense.
For couples, the all-latex bed still carries some bounce, yet our movement tests stayed controlled. Cooling was fine for me on most nights. Our hot sleeper did better once we used a slatted base for airflow.

Spindle Choose Your Firmness Organic Latex Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Choose Your Firmness is the same 10-inch all-latex concept, but with a wider ILD menu. It’s built for sleepers who already know a standard “soft/medium/firm” kit won’t land in the right place.
I treated it like a back-support tune-up. With a firmer middle and base than the standard kit, my hips stayed higher and my lower back felt flatter on long back-sleeping stretches.
Mia tested a softer top over two medium layers. That setup wrapped her shoulder more than the default stack, while the deeper layers still stopped her midsection from sagging.
Marcus pushed the build toward firm and found it surprisingly usable for back and stomach positions within the brand’s stated range. He still preferred the Hybrid for the most stable feel at his size.
This version fits people who want a very specific feel now, plus the option to swap layers later as weight, injuries, or sleep style changes.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Custom ILD options allow very specific feel tuning | More complex ordering and setup than the standard latex kit |
| Organic materials identical to the main latex model | Easier to overthink settings without guidance |
| Strong option for tricky backs or picky shoulders | Slightly higher price for similar core build |
| Future layer swaps keep mattress relevant as needs shift | Still limited by latex weight recommendations |
Details
- Type: All-latex Spindle Mattress with expanded ILD menu
- Height: 10" total, same three-layer build as base latex model
- Core: GOLS organic Dunlop layers in selected densities, usually soft, medium, firm, or extra firm variants
- Cover and quilt: Same GOTS organic cotton knit and wool batting encasement as standard latex
- Firmness range: Broad band from plush to very firm, defined per order rather than only stack order
- Cooling: Similar to standard latex; breathable yet dependent on foundation airflow
- Trial and comfort program: Extended adjustment window plus discounted future layers through comfort life policy
- Warranty: 10 years, with internal components supported by long comfort program
- Queen pricing: Generally $1,350–$2,000+ , depending on sale and layer selections

Spindle Organic Hybrid Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The Organic Hybrid pairs a 6-inch pocket-coil unit with 3 inches of Dunlop latex, then finishes with wool and cotton on top. The feel is closer to a traditional hybrid, just with cleaner materials.
On my back, I felt a more familiar spring response under the latex. My hips settled and then met steady pushback. On my side, the surface cushioned first, and the coils made the support feel more “upright” than the all-latex bed.
Marcus preferred the Hybrid right away. The coils carried his weight with less flex, and the open core helped him sleep cooler.
Mia still ranked the soft-topped all-latex stack higher for shoulder comfort. She described the Hybrid as stable and bouncy, with slightly more shoulder pressure for her frame.
For couples, motion traveled a bit more than on the all-latex setups, but it stayed predictable. Edge support also felt stronger near the perimeter.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Stronger core support for heavier sleepers than all-latex model | Less layer adjustability than the three-layer latex kit |
| Noticeable coil bounce with latex comfort on top | Slightly more partner motion than pure latex |
| Good temperature behavior through open spring unit | Shoulder relief a bit lower for very light side sleepers |
| Organic cotton, wool, and latex keep materials clean | Medium firmness band only, no extreme plush versions |
Details
- Type: Latex hybrid Spindle Mattress
- Height: 10" total with latex over coils
- Core: 6" pocket-coil spring unit with individually encased coils
- Comfort layer: 3" GOLS certified organic Dunlop latex

- Weight guidance: Suitable for many sleepers up to about 300 pounds due to coil support
- Cooling: Better airflow than all-latex, especially on slatted or open foundations
- Trial: Long in-home trial window comparable to the latex line, a long in-home trial period
- Warranty: 10-year coverage plus comfort life support program availability
- Queen pricing: Typically $1,200–$1,800 during promotions

Spindle Split Firmness Organic Latex King
Our Testing Experience
The Split Firmness King uses two separate three-layer latex stacks under one cover. Each partner can set their own order, which takes the usual firmness argument off the table.
Jenna built a medium-leaning stack that felt plush on her side without sinking too deep. Ethan went a step firmer to make turning easier. The seam never bothered them in normal sleep positions.
In motion tests, each half stayed fairly independent. You can still feel some bounce, but it didn’t turn into big waves in our nightly use.
This model makes the most sense for couples with different weights, positions, or comfort preferences. It takes a bit more setup time, but the payoff is long-term flexibility.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Two separate firmness zones inside one king cover | Only available in king size |
| Same organic latex, wool, and cotton package as main latex model | Setup and layer labeling require careful attention |
| Helpful for couples with opposing comfort needs | Slight seam feel if sleepers sprawl directly over the center |
| Future layer swaps allow long-term tuning on each side | Still respects latex weight recommendations |
Details
- Type: All-latex Spindle Mattress with split king firmness zones
- Height: 10" total with three layers per side
- Core: Six latex layers total in a king, three per half, usually soft, medium, firm choices
- Cover: One shared GOTS organic cotton cover with wool batting and zipper
- Firmness range: Independent per side, configured to match each partner
- Cooling: Similar to other all-latex Spindle builds, with comfort improved on slatted bases
- Trial: Marketing for this SKU highlights a 365-night trial for long-term tuning
- Warranty and comfort program: 10-year warranty plus extended comfort life support for future layer changes
- Price: Split firmness king often lists around $2,300 on sale
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.8 | Each side can match its sleeper’s frame and position accurately. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.8 | Partners can chase independent shoulder and hip relief without compromise. |

| Spindle Split Firmness Organic Latex King | 4.7 | 4.8 | 4.8 | 4.2 | 4.4 | 4.7 | 4.8 |
From these numbers, the Split Firmness King emerges as the most flexible Spindle Mattress for couples. The Choose Your Firmness and standard latex models play as adjustable all-rounders for single sleepers or single-firmness beds. The Hybrid trades some adjustable nuance for stronger cooling and added weight capacity through its coil unit.
Best Picks
- Best for side sleepers: Spindle 10" Organic Latex Mattress (easy to soften the top layer for shoulders).
- Best for back pain tuning: Spindle Choose Your Firmness Organic Latex Mattress (more ILD options to match your build).
- Best for couples: Spindle Split Firmness Organic Latex King (two firmness setups under one cover).
- Best for heavier sleepers: Spindle Organic Hybrid Mattress (coil core feels sturdier and sleeps cooler).
How to Choose the Spindle Mattress?
Spindle works best when you’re willing to think in layers. These quick checks help you pick the right model and starting stack.
- Start with your weight and sleep position. Lighter side sleepers usually need a softer top; back and stomach sleepers often do better with a firmer middle or base.
- Decide how much tinkering you want. The all-latex models invite layer swaps; the Hybrid is simpler if you want a set feel.
- If you share a bed and disagree on firmness, the Split Firmness King is the cleanest solution.
- Use the right foundation. Slats and other breathable setups can make latex feel cooler and more consistent overnight.
- Give it time. Latex can feel different after a short break-in, and small changes in layer order can be more effective than buying a new bed.
Limitations
These mattresses aren’t a “set it and forget it” choice. Setup takes effort, and dialing in layers can take a few tries. Ultra-plush pillow-top fans may find the latex feel too buoyant. The all-latex models also have clearer weight limits than the Hybrid.

FAQs
Is off-gassing an issue?
We noticed a mild “new wool/latex” smell at first, not a harsh chemical odor. After airing out, the scent faded quickly in normal use.
How long should a Spindle mattress last?
Latex is known for holding up well, and Spindle’s replaceable-layer approach can extend the usable comfort life. The Hybrid’s coil core also felt robust in our early wear checks.
Is the Split Firmness King worth it for couples?
It’s the most practical pick when two people want different firmness levels. The setup takes longer, but it can prevent the endless “too soft/too firm” compromise cycle.
Are they suitable for heavier sleepers?
For heavier sleepers, the Organic Hybrid felt more stable and cooler. The all-latex models can work within their stated range, but the coil core gives more confidence at higher loads.
How hard is assembly?
Expect some lifting and a bit of trial-and-error. You stack the layers inside the cover, then zip it up. A second person makes it much easier, especially for queen and king sizes.
Do Spindle mattresses sleep hot?
Latex and wool generally breathe well, but the base still matters. On slats, our hot sleeper did better. On solid platforms, the surface held more warmth.
Which Spindle option is best for side sleepers?
The 10-inch all-latex model was the easiest to soften at the top for shoulder comfort. The Split Firmness King can match that feel on one side without forcing both partners into the same setup.
Are Spindle mattresses good for back pain?
In our tests, the adjustable all-latex builds worked best when we kept the middle and base layers firm enough to stop hip sink. The Choose Your Firmness kit made it easier to land that “flat but not hard” feel.
