The two signature features of the Layla Memory Foam Mattress by Layla Sleep are (1) it is a two-sided mattress, and (2) its memory foam is infused with copper-gel.
Two-sided mattresses were once common. When an entire mattress was filled with cotton batting, as was common before innerspring mattresses took over, frequent flipping and turning accompanied by beating to level it out was necessary to keep it in shape and comfortable, because the batting would compress in places and shift around, even with tufting.
The early innerspring mattresses were two-sided. The old Bonnell coils and offset coils had perimeter rods around the top and bottom rims of the innerspring array. Both top and bottom of the mattress had thin padding of fibers (cotton or polyester), and later of polyurethane foam. Flipping and rotating these mattresses made them last longer, because the padding was not always compressed in the same places. This gave the padding in those places time to recover.
Now two-sided mattresses are not as common. Innerspring mattresses have thicker padding – actually layers of foam. Putting this on both sides of the mattress makes it too high for some persons. Using shorter coils means less support. Also, adding more foam to the mattress makes it costlier. It also makes the mattress significantly heavier, therefore harder to flip. So having a one-sided mattress means that it costs less, is not too high, and is not too heavy.
There are some brands – such as Dynasty, Serta Perfect Sleeper, Spring Air Four Seasons, Restonic, and Brooklyn Bedding – which have two-sided (primarily innerspring) mattresses. What makes the Layla mattress stand out is (1) it is an all-foam mattress, and (2) it is only 10” high.
Layla Sleep’s co-founder, Akrum Sheihk, calls the Layla Memory Foam Mattress a “two-in-one mattress,” meaning that the customer can choose whether to have a soft (plush) mattress or a firm one by choosing which side is up. The Plank by Brooklyn Bedding also has a choice of firmness, but in that 11” innerspring model the choice is between firm and ultra-firm. A Good Housekeeping review, “The Best Mattresses to Buy Online in 2019, According to Textile Experts,” named the Layla Memory Foam Mattress as “Best Two-Sided Boxed Mattress.”
The firm and soft sides have covers of contrasting colors, dark for Firm and light for Soft. They are tagged on either side of the seam.
The memory foam in the Layla Memory Foam Mattress is infused with copper gel. This is not the only metallic gel in mattresses; some manufacturers use titanium gel (which is a phase-change material) in their foams.
Layla Sleep cites three advantages of copper gel:
The Layla Memory Foam Mattress consists of four foam layers and two covers. All foams are certified by CertiPUR-US as free from toxic compounds. The mattress is made totally in the United States from American-made materials.

The covers of the Layla Memory Foam Mattress are zippered for easy removal to be cleaned. The fabric is a blend of 66% polyester, 30% viscose (Rayon), and 4% spandex, with a Thermo-gel material woven in. The Soft Cover has a stitched pattern of white and gray.
The Soft Comfort Layer is 3” of plush copper-gel infused memory foam. This is deep enough for the sleeper to sink in enough for pressure relief.,/p>
The 2” thick Transition Layer is made of firm high-density polyurethane foam. As the name implies, his transitions support from the Soft Comfort Layer to the Support Core. The surface is channeled for airflow for cooling. The Support Core is 4” of extra firm polyurethane foam. This is the base support for the entire mattress. One advantage of a foam support core is that it minimizes motion transfer so that one sleeping partner’s movements do not disturb the other. The firm comfort layer is copper-gel infused memory foam. Only 1” thick (⅓ the thickness of the Soft Comfort Layer) and directly over the Support Core, it has a firmer feel than its companion layer on the other side. The Firm Cover has the same composition as the Soft Cover, but the coloring is black and gray. The Layla Memory Foam Mattress is sold on the Layla Sleep website and on Amazon. Layla Sleep has a 120-night Return Period (sleep trial), no charge for shipping the replacement. They also have a Lifetime Warranty. The Layla Memory Foam mattress has 98 customer ratings on Amazon.
