Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The Chill 10'' has a two-layered structure. The first layer is made of soft and contouring memory foam. The second layer consists of dense and hardened poly foam providing the mattress with structural firmness.

Cover: Soft fabric made of cotton and polyester. The cotton is highly breathable facilitating moisture wicking. The fabric is infused with Nano-Stain Terminator — a blend of eco-friendly chemicals functioning as a molecular shield protecting against spills and stains.

Comfort Layer: 2.5'' of gel swril memory foam. The gel provides extra contouring and assists in cooling the mattress.

Support Layer: 7.5'' of high-density poly foam, which functions as the backbone of the Chill 10''. It prevents sleepers from over-sinking and increases the mattress' durability and lifespan.

Feel

The aerated cotton fabric in the cover draws perspiration away from sleepers' body keeping the surface of the mattress dry and cool.

The thick memory foam comfort layer makes the mattress highly malleable giving a pleasant melting-into-the-bed feel. At the same time, the hardened poly foam counters this feel by preventing over-sagging and, therefore, providing sleepers with enhanced stability and support. In other words, the Chill 10'' enables sleepers to enjoy the best of both worlds by putting at their disposal a mattress which is both contouring and supportive.

Pressure Relief

Side sleepers who weigh up to 250 pounds will enjoy the Chill's sound balance of contouring and support. Their hips and shoulders will get enough cushioning to prevent the accumulation of pressure while the thick support layer of dense poly foam will keep their back properly aligned.

Heavyweight side sleepers will need a firmer mattress better capable of handling their weight by preventing over-sinking in their hips and a pressure increase in their lumbar spine. They should try the firmer Chill 8''.

The Chill 10'' will highly appeal to lightweight back sleepers thanks to the ample contouring it provides. Most back sleepers who weigh 150-250 pounds will find the mattress supportive enough. The soft memory foam will enable them to enjoy a comfortable sleep with a minimum pressure build-up in their lumbar and thoracic spine.

Heavier back sleeper whose weight is close to and more than 250 pounds will require a sturdier mattress which can carry their weight and curb sagging in order to avoid back pain. The firmest Chill 6'' will be more suitable for them.

Stomach sleepers weighing less than 150 pounds will get along well with the Chill 10''. The soft comfort layer will mitigate pressure in their abdomen and lower back.

Sleepers heavier than 150 pounds should opt for the firmer Chill 6'' and 8'' models. Sleepers whose weight exceeds 300 pounds will have no choice but to look for more massive and better supportive plus-size mattresses.

Motion Isolation

The Chill 10'' excels at isolating sleepers' movements. Its thick memory foam comfort layer efficiently absorbs these movements promising you quiet nights even if your partner is a restless sleepers.

Repositioning

Repositioning is the weak spot of the Chill 10''. The sinkable contouring memory foam in its comfort layer makes moving on its surface more difficult, especially for heavier sleepers, who will have to exert quite a lot of effort changing sleep positions and, especially, getting out of bed.

Sleepers interested in greater ease of movement should consider buying the firmer Chill 8'' or Chill 6''. Alternatively, they should opt for more bouncy and responsive mattresses, which are made of latex and coils.

Edge Support

As mentioned above, the Chill 10'' provides moderate to strong support. Accordingly, its edges will support well lightweight sleepers and to a lesser degree average weight sleepers. XL sleepers will feel insecure lying on the mattress' perimeter due to over-sinking. They'll tend to move towards the more stable center reducing their potential sleeping space.

Heat Retention

Foam mattress tend to retain heat. All the Chill models are exceptional in this regard. As their name suggests, they're designed to keep sleepers cool at night.

Their breathable cotton-made cover assists in moisture wicking. Their memory foam is manufactured using open cell technology, which makes it more aerated with lower capacity for heat retention compared to other types of memory foam. Even more important, the foam's gel composition disperses the thermal energy sleepers' body creates over he entire surface of the mattress preventing the accumulation of hot spots.

Being more sinkable than the the firmer 6'' and 8'' models, the Chill 10'' is more susceptible to heat retention. Having said that, it's still a good choice for people who live in a hot climate or tend to sleep hot.

Frame & Foundation
