Jeff: Hey guys, Jeff of Mattress Clarity.
Today I'm going to be looking at the Solay mattress.
Going to show you a lot of cool stuff today.
By the end of the video, you're going to notice the right fit for you.
Stay tuned, sit back, relax and stick with us.

Jeff: We are going to do a quick overview.
Before that if you want a personal recommendation and if you have any questions at all, definitely
just leave a comment below.
All right.
We have the Solay mattress.
It's a hybrid mattress that has a spring system, pocketed coils, Energex foam and gel foam.
It's a little bit softer.
I'm excited to see how it compares to some of the other hybrids I've tested recently.
We're going to the construction here.
It got a cover that is made of TENCEL.
It's temperature regulating.
It's pretty thin, allows you to engage with the layers underneath it pretty well.
We have an inch of gel foam.
It's a very soft material, pretty fast to recover.
Underneath that we have two inches of what is called Energex foam, what you can think
of as memory foam but faster recovery.
Overall, those two layers are pretty soft and underneath that we have a pocketed coil
system which will help with contouring air flow and motion isolation.
It's a highly supported and durable material as well.
You basically have this support, durability, air flow and motion isolation of the coil
system and nice pressure relieving foam layers that are faster to recover.
You don't feel like you get stuck and should be temperature regulating as well.
Talk about firmness and feel.
The feel is a nice foam feel.
It has faster recovery than memory foam.
You get pressure relief.
You won't feel like you're getting stuck.
You can see when I push my hand in and take it back, the foam recovers very quickly.
You won't feel like you're getting stuck.
You still get a nice pressure relief.
As far as firmness is concerned I think it's about a 6 out of 10.
A little bit softer than the average.
Some may disagree.
The reason I feel that way is these top layers are very soft.
I can push my hand in pretty far.
You might disagree if you're heavier because you would push through here and hit the firmer
coil layers underneath.
Heavier people might think it's a little bit firmer or you might think it's softer if you
weigh what I weigh or a little bit less.
Overall, I think it's about a 6 out of 10.
I want to talk through about different sleeping positions.
When I come on my back I can feel my hips sinking.
It doesn't sink in too far, but you definitely notice it.
The foam does contour fairly well to my body.
Overall, I feel it's a little bit softer than average.
If you just sleep on your back you might want something a little bit firmer.
Well, I come to my side now.
I think it has a very good pressure relief.
You get that pressure relief.
You don't feel that you get stuck because the foam is faster to recover.
I think it has a very nice feel for side sleepers.
I sleep mainly on my side.
I really enjoy that.
That was a nice fit there.
Come onto my stomach, I feel my hips do sink down a little bit so I have the same opinion
as with back sleepers.
If you just sleep on your stomach, you might want something just a bit firmer than this
mattress.
We go to the motion isolation here.
We got pocketed coils and some foam layers above it.
I would try to be pretty good.
You can see as I move my hands close to this glass there's some motion that's transferring.
I would say it's pretty good, definitely a little bit above average.
We'll talk about edge support here.
Edge support is important if you sleep with a partner or you just like sleeping on the
very edge of the bed.
This pocketed coil system has a reinforced edge.
It should be very good.
As you can see, I'm sitting on the side here.
I don't feel I'm about to fall off at all.
In my experience, I was able to actually sleep on the very edge of the bed.
It's definitely above average edge support.
I want to go over some of the pros.
Number one, this is very good for side sleepers.
It's a little bit softer than average.
Just in my experience the pressure relief is very good, didn't really feel any pressure
on my shoulders.
Definitely good for side sleepers.
What's unique about this is you get nice pressure relief.
The foam is faster to recover.
You don't have that memory foam sinking in feel.
Never feel you'll get stuck.
You get good pressure relief without that one complaint that memory foam owners sometimes
have.
Then lastly, this will be longer lasting than your average mattress.
If you are looking at a long-term investment, this could be a very good option for you.
I see some potential cons.
For stomach and back sleepers, if you just sleep on your stomach and back, you might
want something a little bit firmer.
It's definitely some very soft top layers.
That's just something to note.
If you like a firmer mattress I think this is softer than average so this might not be
the best fit for you.
Lastly, there's certain types of feels that you might like, like if you're used to a memory
foam feel.
This is not that.
It has much faster recovery.
If you like that slow sinking in feel memory foam or you want that bounce of natural latex,
that's something you probably want to get elsewhere.
All right.
Just to recap, this could be a great choice for the right person.
If you want pressure relief without the feeling of getting stuck, faster recovery of the foam,
that's exactly what you get here.
If you want something that's a little bit longer lasting, they use very durable components.
If you want this as a long-term investment, this could be a great option for you.
I think this is great for side sleepers.
I'm just caution you if you just sleep on your stomach or back, you might want something
a little bit firmer.
It could definitely be a great choice for you.
