Need help selecting Nolah Evolution firmness level

Hi! I’ve narrowed my new mattress choice down to the Nolah Evolution 15” hybrid. However, I’m unsure whether I need plush or luxury firm. For reference: I am 5’4 and my weight fluctuates between 125 and 130. I definitely always fall asleep on my side. I do know that I toss and turn, so I’m not sure what I do at night, but I do feel like I often awaken on my side. What would you recommend — plush or luxury firm? Thanks!

Hi there -- The first thing I'd point out about these two models is that they are VERY similar. As an example, we rated the Luxury Firm as a 4.9 on our 1-9 softness scale, while the Plush is a 5.4. Hence, both fall into our Medium classification, though the Plush is on the cusp of being a Medium-Soft.

Given this, your light weight, and proclivity to sleep on your side, I would probably go with the Plush model. It's going to be pretty similar from a spinal alignment standpoint to the Luxury Firm and has a small advantage on pressure relief, which is also important for side sleepers.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the 3 Nolah Evolution models (Plush, Luxury Firm, and Firm) that includes our complete ratings for each of them.
