Is the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress for You?

Who’s Going to Love the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress

• Back sleepers—With the pressure relief of a foam bed and the lower back support of a hybrid, the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is a great choice for all kinds of back sleepers.
• Combination sleepers—For combination sleepers (those who change sleeping positions throughout the night), it’s important to have a bed that allows for easy movement. And, since this Nolah has the responsiveness of a hybrid bed, we’re giving it the thumbs up here.
• Couples—One of the major benefits of foam beds is that they absorb unwanted movement very well. In this case, the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is no different, making it a top pick for couples and light sleepers.

Who Should Steer Clear of the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress

• Heavyweight stomach sleepers—Like many foam beds, this Nolah mattress is on the softer side, which can be problematic for heavyweight stomach sleepers who may need more support for their hips. For beds like that, check out the best mattresses for heavier sleepers.
• Hot sleepers—One pitfall of foam beds is that they absorb and retain body heat too well. That said, this Nolah foam hybrid is actually quite breathable for a foam bed, but it doesn’t really offer any noticeable cooling. Instead, if you’re a hotter sleeper, check out the best cooling mattresses.
• Lightweight side sleepers—Lightweight side sleepers need the most hip and shoulder pressure relief of any kind of sleeper. And, although the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid is quite soft, its lack of contouring means it isn’t one of the best mattresses for hip pain.

Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Firmness and Feel

Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Firmness

At Mattress Nerd, we measure mattress firmness on a simple scale of 1–10, where a “1” is the softest possible and a “10” is harder than concrete. With this in mind, we’re placing Nolah’s All-Foam Hybrid at a 5/10 on our scale. Overall, this ranking puts this Nolah bed in the soft to medium category, or at a firmness level that is ideal for many lightweight sleepers and some average-weight sleepers as well.

What Does the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Feel Like? 

If you thought Nolah’s All-Foam Hybrid would feel like a mix of a hybrid and foam bed, you’d be exactly right. Specifically, this mattress has a bouncy surface that’s similar in softness to memory foam, but without the classic “sinking in” feel. Plus, when lying down on this mattress, you get more airflow than on a typical all-foam bed.

What Sleeping Position Is Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Best For?

Body Type:	Back Sleepers	Stomach Sleepers	Side Sleepers
Lightweight< 130 lbs:	5	5	3
Average-weight130–230 lbs:	5	4	4
Heavyweight> 230 lbs:	5	3	4

1 = Very poor     2 = Not good     3 = Fair     4 = Good     5 = Excellent

Back Sleepers

For back sleepers, it’s crucial to have a balance of pressure relief and lower back support. Fortunately, the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid has a super soft top layer that’s balanced with pressure-relieving support from below. All in all, whether you’re a lightweight, average-weight, or heavyweight sleeper, we’re putting this bed among the best mattresses for back sleepers.

Side Sleepers

The best mattresses for side sleepers allow for ample pressure relief, especially in the hips and shoulders. For this Nolah bed, heavyweight and average-weight side sleepers should be able to get decent pressure relief; however, this bed isn’t cushioned enough for lightweight side sleepers who will need more relief.

Stomach Sleepers 

When it comes to stomach sleeping, firmness is key. For lightweight stomach sleepers, this Nolah bed offers plenty of firmness, making it a great choice. And, although not as ideal comfort-wise, average-weight side sleepers can get away with enough support from this bed as well. However, for heavyweight sleepers, this bed is much too soft and isn’t one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers.

Combination Sleepers 

What makes the best mattresses for combination sleepers? It’s all about responsiveness, and the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid is definitely one of the more responsive foam beds out there. Whether you’re a lightweight, average-weight, or heavyweight combination sleeper, you can’t go wrong with this bed.

Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Performance

Is the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Cooling? 

Is this Nolah mattress one of the cooler all-foam mattresses out there? Yes. Is it one of the best cooling mattresses in general? Not quite. While this bed’s foam layers allow for decent airflow, it won’t feel cool to the touch.

Edge Support 

There aren’t a lot of foam beds out there with top-notch edge support. In this case, due to its softness, we’re placing this Nolah mattress at about average for foam beds in terms of edge support.

Responsiveness

Combination sleepers will want to pay attention to this one; the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid offers great responsiveness for a foam bed, allowing for plenty of mobility without compromising on softness.

Motion Isolation: Is it good for those who share a bed?

The best mattresses for couples often have the best motion isolation as well. This is because a bed with too much unwanted motion transfer means that you’ll be disturbed every time your partner moves or gets out of bed. In this case, the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is definitely a great choice, but not the best per se.

Noise

Unlike any other “hybrid” bed, this Nolah’s all-foam design means no creaking coils during the night. So, you can expect this foam mattress to stay pretty much silent.

Pain Relief

The right bed for your pain relief depends on your body type and preferred sleeping position. With the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid, lightweight sleepers should get ideal hip and shoulder pain, while virtually all back sleepers can get relief too. This makes the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid one of the best mattresses for back pain.

Sex

Is this bed quiet? Check. Is it cooling? Check. Is it responsive? Check again. So, if you plan to share your Nolah Signature for anything besides sleeping, you’ll be covered.

Off-Gassing

Off-gassing, or the “new mattress smell”, occurs when a bed-in-a-box mattress is unpackaged and it begins to expand, especially for foam beds. In this case, you can expect the Nolah’s odor to clear within two days.

Durability 

The average foam mattress isn’t known for being super durable. But, the Nolah All-Foam hybrid isn’t your average foam bed. With seven inches of high-density support foam at its base, this bed is built for the long haul. In other words, you can expect your Nolah to outlive the typical mattress lifespan of seven years.

Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Construction: What’s it made of?

The Nolah All-Foam Hybrid, doesn’t have any coils but mimics the feel of a hybrid with high-density foam at its base and layers of responsive foam. Altogether, this bed measures in at 12” tall.

Addressing Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress Complaints

Not Good For Couples

Some Nolah mattress shoppers have complained that, when sharing their mattress, they found it lacked motion isolation and that disturbances and movement were very noticeable. While foam mattresses generally absorb unwanted movement very well, this Nolah bed is more responsive and bouncy than the typical foam bed.

Lack of Pressure Relief

Some sleepers on this Nolah bed have complained that they were getting less pressure relief than expected for a foam bed. While the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is a completely foam bed, its firm base makes this bed feeling much more akin to a hybrid bed.

Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid Mattress FAQs

How Long Does a Nolah Take to Inflate?

Since your Nolah mattress comes packaged as a bed-in-a-box, it will begin inflating as soon as you open it. Typically, this process will take about 48–72 hours to fully complete. And, after your Nolah is fully inflated, you can go ahead and start sleeping on it.

Are Nolah Beds Soft?

Yes. Specifically, if you’re considering the Nolah Signature All-Foam Hybrid mattress, this bed has the same level of softness you’d expect from a typical memory foam bed. That said, this Nolah mattress won’t have much “sink.” This is because the Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is designed to feel like a hybrid.

Yes. The Nolah All-Foam Hybrid is Certi-PUR-US-certified against any harmful emissions from the bed’s foam, and the mattress also contains OEKO-Tex-certified latex.

Nolah’s All-Foam Signature Hybrid is a great choice for back sleepers, foam mattress fans who find other all-foam beds too hot, and shoppers wanting a durable foam bed. That said, sleepers who prefer strong edge support or a firm bed may want to skip out on this Nolah mattress.
