Vibe Mattress Review

Better Slumber

The Vibe 12-inch gel memory foam mattress is one of the best-formulated products in today’s lower-mid/budget range market for memory foam mattresses. It has combined two of the top leading sleeping technologies to offer undisturbed sleep: Cooling gel-infused foam and contouring memory foam.

This product is brought to us by the well-established mattress manufacturer Classic Brands, who are no strangers to the field of comfortable mattresses. It is designed with comfort and cooling in mind by ensuring that users are able to sleep comfortably through the night without any pain or discomfort. The contouring gel memory foam creates a wonderful sleeping surface, while the gel foam allows for a temperature neutral sleep environment.

Keeping the body cool is necessary for a good night’s sleep. The company considered the gel-infused memory foam because it eliminates the possibility of trapped heat from the user’s body, thereby establishing a cooler surface. This reduces the number of undesired turning and tossing to get maximum good quality sleep.

The Vibe mattress has enjoyed much success for several reasons, such as price, design, comfort and support. We’ll discuss each of these in more detail below in our latest Vibe mattress review.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

Who Won't Love This Mattress?

The Vibe 12-Inch Gel Mattress

"Premium comfort and support from this memory foam mattress on a budget."

Mattress Construction

Premium materials together with skilled craftsmanship give rise to this product. The companies successive combination of 2-inch gel memory foam with a further 3-inches of gel comforting memory foam give the ultimate experience in heat displacement and breathability.

Underneath the 5 inches of two comfort layers, the 12-inch thick mattress has the advantage of having a 7-inch base. It consists of high-density convoluted foam, which provides the sleeper with more than enough efficient support, relief of pressure points and appropriate spinal alignment no matter the body weight.

These well-placed layers come in a knitted cover that stretches to keep the foam layers in place and helps provide that luxurious soft feeling.

Support

Vibe mattress

The Vibe 12 inch gel memory foam mattress provides outstanding support to the body with its contouring memory foam and high-density base. It has been infused with premium gel to provide you with an unrivalled night’s rest that would give your body a soothing and balanced sleep experience.

The gel memory foam is there to evenly and individually support the body’s weight as it automatically adjusts to the body’s weight and the varying temperatures. This feature can offer stress-free support. The mattress also minimizes the pressure points to allow the spine to correctly line up in a moderate position immediately when a movement in bed occurs. That’s because the memory foam replaces and reshapes itself gently to the current sleeping posture.

Comfort

On our mattress firmness scale of 1-10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest, we rate the Vibe 12-inch a 5 (medium). Although Vibe class it as a medium plush, which would normally place it as a 4, we think it’s slightly firmer and therefore place it mid-way along our firmness cale.

However, the mattress does feel plush and supportive at the same time. Being highly contouring can make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. That’s because this mattress has been designed with a pressure-relieving design so that you can receive a relaxing and pain-free sleep every night.

The mattress also has an orthopedically designed surface that supports your spine while you sleep without any pain or discomfort.

Motion Isolation

The Vibe memory foam mattress responds to even the slightest movements you make while sleeping, keeping your sleep environment consistent. This ensures that your body is receiving exactly what it needs during the night.

The result is independent movement isolated from areas where other people may be sleeping, which helps reduce noise and irritation from partners sleeping nearby or from your partner’s movements while sleeping or waking up.

The mattress also has a specialized base consisting of high-density convoluted foam, which absorbs the impact of your weight and helps provide you with more than enough support for your body without causing strain or pain.

Temperature Regulation

For the user to attain sound sleep, an environment of the right temperatures has to be ensured. A good cooling mattress creates a temperature neutral surface which is required for good quality sleep.

The Vibe 12-inch gel memory foam mattress is made with support layers that are open to air circulation. This helps in the insulation of heat and reduces heat buildup, thus leading to improved sleep. The mattress will absorb heat attributed to the body’s movements during the night, which is then released slowly without causing a rise in temperature.

Also, because the mattress has an open cell construction, it aids in the easy flow of air through its cells to aid in temperature control. This means that it helps minimize moisture and heat build-up and allows your body to breathe freely throughout the night, which will result in an even better quality sleep experience.

CertiPUR-US and Good Quality Assurance

This mattress is made with high-quality materials to ensure a decent quality build. The materials used in this product meet the CertiPUR-US certified standards. They are free from harmful chemicals such as ozone depleters, mercury, lead and heavy metals, formaldehyde and PBDEs. This means that it will easily give you a better sleep without affecting your health.

Edge Support

Vibe mattress edge support

Sadly the edge support is one of the things that lets this product down. The edge support of the Vibe memory foam mattress is what we’d consider somewhat mediocre. If you place any weight near or on the edge, it collapses right away. It feels like how soft memory foam feels when you take it out of the packaging, only this memory foam has no give to it.

The second reason we feel it has poor edge support is that when the sleeper lays down on the edge, it compresses to the point where anyone over 100 pounds will experience some sinkage along the edge.
