Layla pioneered the flippable copper-infused mattress — soft on one side, firm on the other, with copper-gel-infused memory foam for cooling and antimicrobial properties. The lineup includes the original Memory Foam Mattress and the Hybrid. Here’s our 2026 take.
Quick Verdict
Best for: Indecisive shoppers, couples with different firmness preferences, and side sleepers (soft side) or stomach sleepers (firm side)
Skip if: Hot sleepers who want top-tier cooling tech
What Layla gets right
- Flippable design. Soft and firm on the same mattress — flip it if you change your mind during the trial period.
- Copper-infused foam. Copper conducts heat away from your body and has antimicrobial properties.
- 120-night sleep trial. Free returns.
- Lifetime warranty. Industry-leading.
Where Layla falls short
- Heavy to flip. A queen weighs around 90 lbs — flipping it solo is awkward.
- Cover handles wear over time. Multiple flips can stress the cover.
- Hybrid model is significantly more expensive than the all-foam. If you don’t need bounce, the Memory Foam is the value pick.
Construction and materials
The Layla Memory Foam Mattress is a 10-inch flippable: copper-gel memory foam (softer side), max airflow support foam, convolu-airflow base, more support foam, copper-gel memory foam (firmer side). The Hybrid model adds individually wrapped coils but is still flippable.
Firmness and feel
Soft side: about a 4 on a 10-point scale. Firm side: about a 7. Most side sleepers prefer the soft side; most stomach sleepers prefer the firm side. Back sleepers usually like the firm side.
Pricing and trial
Memory Foam queen: about $1,099 MSRP, often $799-$899 on sale. Hybrid queen: about $1,699 MSRP, often $1,399 on sale. 120-night trial, lifetime warranty.
Layla vs the competition
Against Nectar, Layla has the flippable advantage and copper cooling but costs more. Against Purple, Layla is more “memory foam classic” (deep hug, slow response) versus Purple’s responsive grid. Against Tuft & Needle, Layla is plusher and more customizable.
FAQ
Does the copper actually cool you down?
Copper conducts heat better than most materials and helps prevent the trapped heat that plagues memory foam. It’s not as cool as Purple’s grid or a hybrid with coils, but it’s noticeably cooler than standard memory foam.
Is flipping the Layla annoying?
Yes, somewhat. The mattress weighs around 90 lbs in a queen. Most owners settle on a preferred side within a month and don’t flip again.
How long does Layla last?
The Memory Foam model typically lasts 7-10 years. The Hybrid lasts 8-12 years with regular care.
