GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on DLX Essential

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
- 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)
- Prefer no 'memory feel' in your mattress
- Want a mattress that helps you stay cool while you sleep
- Enjoy sleeping more 'on' your mattress than 'in' it
- Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
- Don't like much bounce in your mattress
- Can be easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (though motion isolation is still OK)
- 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 DLX Essential 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 Essential to have good adjustable base compatibility.

Additional Information
General Description
Crafted with comfort, durability, and innovation at its core, our one-sided Essential Mattress boasts a strategic assembly of high-quality materials. Here's what you'll find from top to bottom:
- Stretch Knit Fabric: This forms the topmost layer of the mattress. The fabric is soft, breathable, and flexible, adjusting effortlessly to your body's contours and movements for a cosy, seamless feel.
- Airsoft Viscose Fibers: Situated just beneath the stretch knit fabric, this layer of airsoft viscose fiber batting provides an added cushioning effect. It enhances breathability and aids in temperature regulation, offering a more restful sleep.
- ¾” LoftAdapt Foam (density: 1.8 lbs.): Offers improved pressure relief and conforming support, further enhancing your sleeping experience.
- 1” Comfort Layer Foam (density: 1.8 lbs.): Complements the LoftAdapt foam, creating a uniquely comfortable feel, and promoting proper spinal alignment and pressure point relief.
- 8” Advanced Hybrid Spring: Offers the perfect blend of bounce and support. The pocketed springs design minimizes motion transfer while providing targeted support to your body's pressure points.
- ¾” CoreFlex Support Foam (density: 1.5 lbs): provides a sturdy foundational layer at the base of the mattress, enhancing the longevity of the mattress and offering stable support.
- Quilted Knit Fabric: The bottom of the mattress is covered with a quilted knit fabric, adding an extra layer of comfort and aesthetic appeal.
