Nolah's proprietary Airfoam Plus high density based foam
that goes together just like peanut butter and jelly.
Hey, y'all. Elisa here. Editor at mattressclarity.com
I am a big fan of Nolah's high tech mattresses, but sometimes
you got to kick it back to the Signature. Today we're taking
a look at the Nolah Signature mattress. We'll look closely
at its firmness feel and unique features to help you
figure out whether it's the best for you. You ready? Let's get started.
Nolah sells a wide variety of different mattresses,
including their ecofriendly Nolah Signature and the
super luxurious Nolah Evolution Hybrid. But today we are looking
at the Nolah Signature. Now, as a heads up,
this mattress used to be flippable with two firmness levels in
one. It is no longer flippable, but I think they've
done a really great job of making this mattress work for a variety of people.
So let's see what it's all about. Underneath the first comfort layer,
you'll find a layer of Nolah's supportive, high resilience foam.
Underneath that is a firmer layer of the same air foam at the
top. These two higher density foam layers really help
you get that support that you need, and they also aid a
little bit in body contouring. Underneath this is a
thick layer of their high density base foam. This is what keeps
your back in a good neutral alignment throughout the night.
It also helps extend the lifespan of your mattress.
Overall, we expect this bed to last about ten years,
but remember, it is backed by a lifetime limited warranty,
which is also great information to have when you're shopping for a new mattress.
You always have to pay close attention to its firmness and its
feel. So let's see what the Nolah Signature is all about,
starting with its firmness. So first of all, here at
Mattress Clarity, we use a firmness scale that goes from one
to ten, with six and a half being the industry
standard for medium firm beds. That just so happens to
be exactly what the Nolah Signature feels like. It's got a classic
medium firm feel. You're going to sink into the top of it a little bit
thanks to its nice air foam. But the high density base
foam gives you that lumbar support that you need. So speaking of what this
mattress feels like, it's actually a bit more responsive than traditional
memory foam mattresses. You'll find out there you can see whenever
I press my hand into the top layer, it snaps back into
place pretty quickly. So that means that you're not going to get that kind of
quicksand sort of feel. And it's still really easy to move around on
top of this bed. Another way we test this is with my squash
ball here. So watch carefully as I drop it onto
the mattress from shoulder height and we'll see how much it bounces.
So you can see there's a little bit of height here from the ball,
but it's not bouncing super high, so you're going to get that nice, balanced
foam feel here. Let's see how it suits
different sleeping positions. So when I rest on my back,
I feel a really great balance of comfort and support here.
There's some great body contouring happening from these top layers.
Plus, a high density base foam keeps my back in a neutral alignment.
So moving over to my side, I feel really great and comfy
here as well. The nice, medium, firm feel keeps me in a
good alignment, but this plush foam at the top helps
absorb pain along my shoulders and my hips, which is exactly
what you need if you rest on your side.
Vanilla signature isn't the best choice for stomach sleepers.
Generally, stomach sleepers need a very firm mattress.
Otherwise, you could feel your hips dip out of alignment, which could create
some pain over time. You can see here, as I'm resting,
I do kind of sink out of the good alignment, and if I were to
do this for a very long period of time, I would really start to feel
that strain right along my lower back. Here at mattress clarity,
we always combine subjective opinions with objective tests,
and one of those tests is the pressure map. So watch
closely as I rest on my backside and stomach. At the bottom
of your screen, you'll see everything from blue, which means no pressure at all,
all the way to red, which means that there's a lot of pressure.
And pay close attention to what it looks like when I'm resting on my side,
especially along my shoulders and my hips, you see
a lot of yellow and red build up there. It's a good indication
that it may not work well for side sleepers. Let's check it out.
If you share a bed with a partner, you definitely want to think best foam
mattress motion, isolation. And what this means is that if you're resting
on one side of the bed and your partner gets in on the other and
they start switching sleeping positions in the night, are you going to feel that
movement come over to your side of the bed? One way we test this is
with a glass of water, so watch closely as I press
into the comfort layers around the glass. If you see a
lot of disturbance in the water, that's a good indication
that this mattress doesn't isolate motion well. So let's check it out.
So as you can see, when I'm pressing into it, there's a little bit of
movement happening in the glass, but it's not too, too bad.
And this is pretty standard for best foam mattress. They tend to
absorb motion really well so that you don't feel it on the
other side of the bed. So, yeah, overall, I would say this has great motion
isolation, so let's not just leave it with this test.
Let's also try it out in real life. So I'm going to get in on
one side of the mattress, and Robbie, our video producer, is going to get in
on the other. And as he switches sleeping positions and moves around,
I really don't feel a whole lot of that movement come over to my side
of the bed. So again, this mattress does a really great job
of isolating motion. Another thing you want to think about if you
share a bed with a partner is Nolah mattress edge support. And what this
means is if you're sitting or lying down near the side of the bed,
are you going to feel secure or are you going to feel like you might
roll off? Well, as you can see here, as I'm sitting on the side,
there's a good little bit of collapse underneath me, but I still
feel pretty secure. There's a nice thick layer
of high density based foam at the bottom that prevents me from totally bottoming
out. So overall, I would still say it has pretty good edge support. I can
even bend down and tie my shoes and still feel right where
I should be. But lying down on this mattress,
it's a similar story here. When I lie right
near the side of the bed, there's a little bit of a collapse underneath my
knee. But overall, I'm feeling very secure. It should not be
a problem feeling like I'm going to roll off of this mattress.
Let's go over some of the pros and cons of the Nolah Signature mattress,
starting with the pros. First of all, this is a great choice
for couples. This mattress isolates motion really well,
so if you're a sensitive or a light sleeper, you shouldn't feel
disturbed by your partner's movements in the night. Also, this mattress works
really well for side sleepers. You're going to get some nice pressure relief
along your shoulders and your hips, which is right where you need it most.
And finally, if you're on a bit of a budget, this is a great way
to go. This is one of Nolah's more affordable mattress,
so you're not going to end up spending a whole bunch of money here.
And of course, we have to talk about some of the cons of Nolah
Signature mattress reviews to be the best pick.
If you're looking specifically for a flippable mattress now,
it could be a bit confusing because the previous Nolah Signature was
a flippable bed. But this new model is not. It is a
classic medium firm feel with one firmness level.
Also, this isn't the best choice for stomach sleepers. It has that
medium firm feel, so stomach sleepers are probably going to feel their hips
sink out of alignment, which could lead to lower back pain
over time. And finally, the Nolah Signature is
not a great pick if you are an especially hot sleeper.
Yes, some of the foams are ventilated, which helps with airflow.
But in my experience, if you already run hot at night, you might still
run into that problem on this mattress. When you're shopping for a new bed,
it is always super smart to weigh your options. So let's see
how the Nolah Signature compares to another popular
all foam Bed in a box mattress, Nectar. Now,
both of these beds have a similar construction. They have lower density
foams at the top for body contouring and high density foams
at the bottom to help you maintain a neutral alignment. Also,
they both have a classic medium firm feel coming in at six
and a half out of ten, which is the industry standard. The main difference
between the two is what they feel like. Noah has a more
responsive feel, so when you press your hand into it, it'll snap back
into place. Nectar has more of that traditional slow moving
feel. So if you like to sink into your mattress,
Nectar might be the way to go. When it comes to price, these two
mattresses are also very similar. But remember, you can always save a

Before I wrap up, I'm going to answer some of the most frequently asked
questions about the Nolah signature mattress. First question
Is Nolah a good company? And here at Mattress Clarity,
we are big fans of Nolah mattress. Not only are
all of their products made right here in the United States, but their beds
are backed by a lifetime warranty. Second question,
are Nolah mattress flippable? No,
this mattress is not flippable and it's a little bit confusing because the
Nolah signature used to be a flippable mattress that had
two firmness levels in one. Now it is not flippable and it
has a classic medium firm feel all around. In my opinion,
though, this works for a wider variety of people and I'm a big fan.
Last question, how much do Nolah mattress cost?
Best foam mattress are sold at great value prices,
especially the signature that we just reviewed. But remember,
