Hi Emily!

They're similar, but there are some distinct differences between the two.

They are the same in that they have the same coil count with the same gauge coil. Both have the same thick layer of convoluted soy foam.

The Radiant then has an inch and a half of soy foam where the Direct has half an inch of soy foam and an inch of soft synthetic foam. Both have 1.5" of soy foam at the base of the coil system, but the Radiant has 1.5" of soy foam at the top of the coil system as well, where the Direct only has half an inch.

Their cover fabrics are different -- the Radiant is covered in a soft, eco-friendly bamboo knit fabric where the Direct has a damask knit fabric.

The warranties are different as well -- the Radiant carries a 15 year non-prorated warranty where the Direct has a 10 year, 5 prorated / 5 non-prorated warranty.

I hope that answers your question! It really depends how important the eco-story is in your buying decision. If they both feel good to you, then the Direct is a great way to save money and still buy from an awesome, American, family owned and operated company :)

Please let me know if you have any other questions! I'm more than happy to answer them!
