Asteria Vari Extra Firm

GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Asteria Vari Extra Firm

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the Asteria Vari Extra Firm the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • Want a very firm mattress
  • 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)
  • Have a clear preference for sleeping 'on' your mattress rather than 'in' it
  • Prefer a mattress with very little 'memory feel'
  • Want it be very easy to move around and change positions during the night
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
  • Can be easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (though motion isolation is still OK)
  • Don't like much bounce in your mattress
  • Prefer some softness in your mattress
  • Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still OK in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)

  • Yes, the Asteria Vari Extra 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.

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
