Asteria Hera Firm
GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Asteria Hera Firm
Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
BEST if you
- Want a medium-firm mattress (i.e., just a little firmer than average)
- Are mainly a stomach sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for back sleepers)
- Regularly sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is excellent)
- Prefer a mattress with very little 'memory feel'
- Want it be very easy to move around and change positions during the night
- Enjoy a happy medium between sleeping 'on' your mattress versus 'in' it
NOT IDEAL if you
- Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
- Don't like a lot of bounce in your mattress
- Can be disturbed by other movements in the bed
- Would like a mattress that performs well on an adjustable base
- Would be upset by any possibility of your mattress making sound (eg, squeaky springs)

Yes, the Asteria Hera Firm mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the Hera Firm to have fair adjustable base compatibility.

Additional Information
General Description
QUILTING LAYER
The natural knit fabric is made from cotton, which contours to the body and provides cool, comfortable sleep. Hand tufting is a luxury feature that removes false loft from the mattress by pre-stressing the materials, reducing the likelihood of body impressions and providing better support and more durability. Silk, wool, and cashmere provide all night long temperature regulation by naturally expanding to allow airflow when the body is hot and contracting to hold in heat when the body is cold. High density contour foam provides pressure relief at the top of the mattress and high density support foam adds firmness and support. A natural latex lumbar in the center third of the mattress offers additional support where it is needed most and alleviates potential body impressions.
Materials: Silk, wool, cotton, cashmere, high-density foam
COMFORT LAYER
Two layers of high-density comfort foam provide deep down comfort and support. The layers of blue cotton provide deep down temperature regulation by wicking moisture and perpetuating airflow.
Materials: High density comfort foam, cotton fiber pad, blue cotton
SUPPORT DETAILS
The nested pocketed coil unit provides excellent deep down support and is zoned in the center third to provide an additional level of support in the middle of the mattress. All foam in the mattress is high-density which is designed for longer lasting pressure relief and support. The latex lumbar provides added support for the midsection at the top of the mattress. A 1.8 lb upholstery grade foam encasement surrounds the mattress eliminating rolloff and providing better edge support and allowing you to use the entire sleep surface.
Materials: Steel pocket spring, 14.25 gauge coil.
BOX SPRING
10-slat, Amish-made, Canadian spruce wood foundation provides excellent structural support for the mattress.
Materials: Canadian spruce wood
Warranty
- Length: 20-year warranty.
