Cuddle Mattress Reviews

Cuddle Specifics

Unique DesignThe Cuddle Mattress features memory foam slats for wrapping your arms and legs around your partner. This enhances snuggling and hugging without the negatives concerns of your arms and legs falling asleep. This unique design is the first in the mattress industry and is the main reason for the Cuddle mattress's popularity.

However, there are a many different considerations for a new mattress. It does not seem that Cuddle Mattress has focused on long term support and everyday comfort apart from cuddling.

Quality of MaterialsThe Cuddle Mattress has two different options: Cuddle Mattress PU and Cuddle Mattress Memory-Gel. The main difference between these is that the gel version has gel-infused foam on the top and bottom layer to diffuse heat. Here is what's inside:

Foot and Head Slats: At the foot and the head of the mattress, there are 6 foam slats that are the same all-foam material as the rest of the mattress. These slats allow arms and legs to sneak under partners without pinching.

Layer 1: There is a generous 2'' memory foam layer on the top, which helps with pressure points. In the gel version, this layer has gel-infused swirls, which diffuses heat. The non-gel (PU version), may retain some heat.

Layer 2: The second 5.5'' layer is a resilient high-density core foam, which supports the spine.

Layer 3: The last layer is 1'' of memory foam (with or without gel infusion). This layer gives pressure point relief and can be flipped for a firmer version.

Overall Comfort
Customers agree that this bed was made for cuddling and snuggling. However, there are some that described back pain issues with constant sleeping. Beware, that sometimes the top sheet can make it difficult to rest your arms and legs between the slats.

Expert note: It may be worth getting a fitted sheet that is a size larger than your mattress.

FirmnessThe normal orientation of this mattress is medium-firm, which is ideal for most sleepers. You can flip the mattress for a firmer experience. Beware, that there may be some sagging issues if you are a heavier sleeper.

Back Pain Relief
If you are someone that sleeps with your arms around your partner, there may be some initial back and arm pain relief with this mattress. However, the slats may cause your hips and shoulders to sink more over time, which can be painful long term.

Cooling
The gel version of this mattress should do well for those that are warmer sleepers. The PU version may retain heat especially during cuddling.

Who Is The Cuddle Mattress Good For?
The Cuddle Mattress is pretty innovative, but we aren't so sure that it is right for everyone. This is a great mattress for a spare bedroom, but it could cause back issues if used every day.
