I was excited to try the mattress from Layla Sleep because it’s not just another bed-in-a-box at this point; it has some really distinguishing features, mainly the copper infusion and the flippable component.
Overall I really liked the Layla, and do recommend it, but I had some complaints as well. Read my full Layla mattress review for my personal experience.
You will love Layla if you…
- Love copper infused – this is the first time I’ve seen a copper-infused mattress, but I have heard of it in knee braces/socks. I suggest that you research the science yourself (I’m not an expert), but it claims to improve circulation and help with join pain.
- Want to sleep cool – the copper infusion and thermogel cover both aim to make the mattress sleep cool. In my experience it did in fact sleep cool.
- Want great value – the flipping and infused-copper are new features, and all at a similar price to a lot of the other online-options. Certainly a steal compared to a lot of traditional retail store memory foam options.
- Like the flippable option – one side soft, one side firm, flip at your convenience (see my flipping video below).
You may not like Layla if you…
- Want a slightly firmer mattress – The Layla soft is pretty soft, and the Layla firm side is quite firm. If you want an average/slightly firmer than average mattress, Layla probably isn’t the best fit.
- Don’t care about the infused copper or flippable options – these aspects have a lot of value if you want them, but if you aren’t interested in these components, it’s probably not worth investing in a Layla.
How to flip the Layla Mattress
I’ve tried a few other flippable mattresses, and they all flip a little different. Layla is on the easier side of the spectrum, watch to see the process in the video below:
Firmness and Feel
Since the mattress is flippable, it has two firmness/feels. See how the two firmnesses vary from each other in the video below (note: this video does not show the flip in between).
The soft side is probably a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale (great for side-sleeping), and the firm side is probably an 8.5 out of 10 on the scale.
Layla Mattress Construction
The Layla mattress has the following layers:
- Comfort layer: 3 inches of copper-infused memory foam
- Base layer: 6 inches of base foam
- Other comfort layer (post-flip): 1 inch of copper-infused memory foam
You can see the difference between the firm and soft side is just 2 inches of memory foam. The cover is also something to note, which sports a thermo-gel finish. This puts the gel as close to your body as possible to help with cooling.
What is copper infused?
Copper is actually infused in the memory foam. Copper infusion is popular in other items such as knee braces, socks, etc (near the joints), but this is the first time I’ve heard about it in a mattress. I’m not familiar with the science myself, but Layla Sleep claims it helps with joint pain, improving circulation, and general cooling (the mattress definitely slept cool for me).
Motion Transfer Test
Layla performs very well in the motion isolation test, making it a great mattress for couples. See my “test” in the video below:
Other things to note:
- Layla is a great value, all sizes priced under $1000
- It has a 4 month sleep trial and 10 year warranty
- The mattress is made in the USA
- The mattress is available in-person at Nest Bedding showrooms
Final Recommendation
I really liked the Layla in my two week sleep trial, and slept very well (I used the soft side). I can’t say I personally noticed any joint pain or better circulation, but I think there is some scientific literature available to back up some of these claims (I suggest you investigate for yourself if you’re on the fence).
Overall I think the Layla has a really unique offering, and if you’re intrigued by the copper or flippable capability, Layla is a no-brainer.

The copper infused memory foam in Layla mattress provides many health benefits. This precious metal has been used in ancient medicines to treat various health conditions. Layla incorporates copper into their mattress by embedding the to the memory foam, so that you can sleep tight with less aches and pain. Also, copper in Layla mattress, makes it the coolest mattress. As you have mentioned, the mattress is not meant for people who dislike slightly firmer mattresses. If you wish to sleep on the firmer side, then flip the mattress, by removing the mattress cover. In short, the mattress is made up of 3 layers, one side being soft and the other side being firm. You can flip the either side, according to your requirements and sleep patterns. That's good to hear that the mattress turned out really well for couples, as it had reduced motion transfer.
