Hearthline is editorially independent. When you buy through links on this page we may earn a commission, which funds our testing. It never changes what we recommend or how we score. How we make money.

Our long-term panel slept on the Classic in all three firmness options over eighteen months.

Support and pressure

Pressure mapping showed even distribution for back and combination sleepers. Strict side sleepers preferred the plush soft option by a wide margin.

Temperature

Coil-on-coil construction moves air. Overnight surface temperature stayed 1.8 °C below the foam average in our group.

Verdict

The most broadly recommendable mattress we test, with the caveat that it is heavy and effectively immovable once built.

Pros

  • + Excellent edge support
  • + Sleeps cool
  • + White-glove delivery included

Cons

  • Heavy to move
  • Not for strict side sleepers in firm

Firmness marketing is meaningless. Pressure mapping and edge support aren't.
