Nest Bedding Owl Mattress Review

Our Review Process: Each mattress we review undergoes a rigorous evaluation process. We assess comfort, support, cooling, and durability through both subjective experiences and objective tests.

Criteria include pressure relief, spine alignment, mattress responsiveness, motion transfer, edge support, and temperature regulation. This comprehensive approach ensures our reviews are thorough and unbiased.

I. Mattress Layers, Materials, and Construction

The Nest Bedding Owl arrives at your doorstep in a surprisingly heavy box that definitely requires two people to move safely.

Don’t underestimate the weight, this isn’t your typical bed-in-a-box that you can easily carry upstairs by yourself.

The packaging is secure and professional, clearly designed to protect the mattress during shipping.

Once you get the box positioned where you want your mattress, the unboxing process is straightforward but exciting.

Inside the box, you’ll find the mattress tightly compressed and wrapped in thick plastic. The compression is impressive. It’s hard to believe that a 13-inch mattress can be packed so compactly.

When you carefully cut away the plastic wrapping, the mattress begins expanding immediately. Unlike some compressed mattresses that take hours to fully expand, the Owl reaches its full 13-inch height within just a few minutes.

This quick expansion is a testament to the quality of the latex and coil construction. The materials want to return to their natural shape and do so rapidly once released from compression.

Each layer serves a specific purpose in creating the overall sleep experience, from the initial comfort you feel when lying down to the deep support that maintains proper spinal alignment throughout the night.

Organic Stretch Knit Cotton and Joma Wool Cover (2 inches)

The first thing you touch when you lie on the Owl mattress is the luxurious organic stretch knit cotton and Joma wool cover. This isn’t just a thin fabric covering. No, it’s a substantial 2-inch quilted layer that includes 1.5-pound Eco-Flex quilting foam.

The organic cotton provides a soft, breathable surface that feels natural against your skin, while the Joma wool adds temperature regulation properties that help wick away moisture and maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature.

The quilting design isn’t just for looks. It’s strategically engineered and double-stitched to create a more robust, pillow-top feel that enhances the overall comfort experience.

This quilted construction also helps distribute your body weight more evenly across the surface, preventing pressure points from forming.

The stretch knit design allows the cover to move and flex with your body, ensuring the comfort layers beneath can conform properly to your shape.

Natural Talalay Latex (3 inches)

Below the quilted cover lies the heart of the Owl mattress. It’s a 3-inch layer of natural Talalay latex that defines the mattress’s feel and responsiveness. This is where Nest Bedding achieves the different firmness levels available in the Owl line.

The natural Talalay latex is manufactured right here in the USA, ensuring consistent quality and supporting domestic production.

The Talalay process creates latex with a more consistent cell structure compared to Dunlop latex, resulting in a uniform feel throughout the layer. Depending on which firmness level you choose, this layer will have different ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) ratings: 14 ILD for the Plush option, 24 ILD for the Medium, and 36 ILD for the Luxury Firm.

This latex layer provides the signature bounce and responsiveness that makes the Owl mattress so comfortable for combination sleepers and anyone who doesn’t want to feel stuck in their mattress.

Transitional Comfort Foam (1 inch)

The third layer consists of 1 inch of 1.5-pound CertiPUR-US certified transitional comfort foam. This layer might seem small, but it plays a crucial role in the overall feel of the mattress.

Its primary job is to create a smooth transition between the bouncy latex above and the supportive coil system below.

Without this transitional layer, you might feel the individual coils through the latex, which would create an uncomfortable sleeping surface.

This foam layer also helps distribute your body weight more evenly across the coil system beneath it.

When you lie down, your body creates pressure points where you’re heaviest – typically your hips and shoulders.

The transitional foam helps spread this pressure across a larger surface area, ensuring that the coils below can provide optimal support without creating uncomfortable pressure points.

Individually Wrapped Coil System (6 inches)

The support core of the Owl mattress consists of a 6-inch layer of individually wrapped pocketed coils, and this is where the “hybrid” designation really comes into play.

These aren’t cheap, interconnected coils that move as one unit. Each coil is individually wrapped in fabric and operates independently from its neighbors. This design provides several important benefits for sleep quality.

The coil count varies by mattress size, ranging from 390 coils in a Twin up to 840 coils in a King size. These coils are manufactured in the USA using both domestic and imported steel, ensuring quality construction while supporting American manufacturing.

The individually wrapped design means that when you move on one side of the bed, the coils compress only in that specific area rather than affecting the entire mattress surface.

Nest Bedding has also incorporated reinforced edge support into this coil system, which is why the edge support testing performed so well.

The perimeter coils are specially designed and reinforced to provide extra stability when you sit on the edge of the bed or sleep near the edge.

This coil system comes with its own 20-year warranty, indicating the company’s confidence in its long-term durability.

Base Support Foam (1 inch)

The foundation of the entire mattress is a 1-inch layer of 1.5-pound support foam that sits between the coil system and your bed foundation.

This layer serves as a buffer and stabilizer, ensuring that the coils don’t directly contact your foundation or box spring.

This base layer helps maintain the structural integrity of the mattress and prevents the coils from potentially damaging your foundation over time.

While this layer doesn’t directly contribute to comfort, it’s essential for the long-term performance and durability of the mattress.

It also provides a stable platform for the coil system to operate effectively, ensuring that the springs can compress and expand properly without being affected by irregularities in your foundation.

Material Quality and Certifications

Every material used in the Owl mattress has been carefully selected for both performance and safety.

The foams are all CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they’re made without harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, heavy metals, ozone depleters, and other toxic substances.

This certification also includes testing for emissions, ensuring that the foams won’t off-gas harmful chemicals into your bedroom air.

The natural Talalay latex is sustainably sourced and processed, providing an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based foams.

The fire barrier used throughout the mattress is non-chemical hydrogenated silica, avoiding the fiberglass that many other manufacturers use as a cheaper fire retardant.

All materials are given time to air out in Nest Bedding’s factory before shipping, which significantly reduces any initial odors when the mattress arrives at your home.

Construction Quality and Attention to Detail

The overall construction quality of the Owl mattress is immediately apparent when you examine it closely. The stitching is precise and durable, with reinforced seams that show attention to detail in manufacturing.

The quilted top layer features double-stitching that creates clean, professional lines while ensuring long-term durability.

The zipper that allows access to the comfort layers (for the Lifetime Renewal Exchange program) is heavy-duty and well-integrated into the design.

The edge construction deserves special mention – the reinforced perimeter doesn’t just rely on different coils but also includes additional support materials that create a stable, sleep-friendly edge.

This attention to construction details throughout the mattress suggests a product built for longevity rather than quick profits, which aligns with the lifetime warranty the company provides.

II. Sleeping Positions

Different sleeping positions put pressure on different parts of your body, requiring varying levels of support and contouring.

Side sleepers need softer surfaces to cushion their hips and shoulders, while back and stomach sleepers typically require firmer support to maintain proper spinal alignment.

The challenge becomes even greater for combination sleepers who change positions throughout the night, as they need a mattress that can accommodate multiple sleeping styles without feeling uncomfortable in any position.

One of the standout features of the Nest Bedding Owl mattress is that it comes in three distinct firmness levels: Plush, Medium, and Luxury Firm. This range ensures that no matter what type of sleeper you are, there’s an Owl mattress designed specifically for your needs.

For this review, I personally tested the Medium firmness option extensively across all sleeping positions. This middle-ground option gave me valuable insights into how the Owl’s construction performs across different sleep styles.

And it quickly became clear why this firmness level is often recommended for combination sleepers and couples with different preferences.

Side Sleeping

When sleeping on my side with the Owl mattress, I experienced excellent pressure relief at my hips and shoulders. These are the two areas where side sleepers typically need the most cushioning.

The natural latex layer provided just enough give to allow these pressure points to sink in slightly, while the individually wrapped coils underneath offered targeted support that prevented me from sinking too deeply into the mattress.

The medium firmness struck an impressive balance for side sleeping. It was soft enough to contour to my body’s natural curves, preventing the uncomfortable pressure buildup that can cause numbness or pain in arms and legs.

At the same time, it maintained enough support to keep my spine properly aligned, which is crucial for preventing back pain.

I woke up feeling rested without any of the stiffness or soreness that often comes with mattresses that are either too firm or too soft for side sleeping.

However, strict side sleepers who prefer a very plush, sinking feeling might find the medium firmness slightly too supportive.

For these sleepers, the Plush option would likely provide the softer, more enveloping feel they’re seeking in a mattress for side sleeping. All while still maintaining the excellent motion isolation and responsiveness that makes the Owl special.

Back Sleeping

The medium firmness really shined when I tested it as a mattress for back sleeping positions. This sleeping position requires a careful balance of support and contouring.

It had enough firmness to keep the spine in neutral alignment while providing gentle cushioning for the natural curves of the lower back. The Owl mattress delivered exactly this balance through its thoughtful layer construction.

The latex layer provided enough give to support the natural curve of my lower back without creating a gap, while the coil system underneath offered the solid foundation needed to prevent my midsection from sinking too deeply.

I felt fully supported from head to toe, with no pressure points developing during extended back sleeping sessions. The responsiveness of the latex also made it easy to adjust positions slightly during the night without feeling stuck or restricted.

While the medium firmness worked well for back sleeping, back sleepers who prefer maximum support or those with chronic back issues might benefit from upgrading to the Luxury Firm option. This firmer version would provide even more support while still offering the pressure relief benefits of the natural latex layer.

Stomach Sleeping

Stomach sleeping is notoriously difficult to accommodate because this position can easily lead to spinal misalignment if the mattress is too soft, allowing the hips to sink too deeply and creating an uncomfortable arch in the lower back.

The medium-feel mattress performed adequately for stomach sleeping, but with some limitations that became apparent during testing.

The mattress provided enough support to prevent excessive sinking at the midsection, which kept my spine in relatively good alignment.

The responsive nature of the latex meant I didn’t feel like I was fighting the mattress when adjusting positions.

However, I did notice that the medium firmness was on the softer side of what I’d consider ideal for stomach sleeping, especially during longer sleep sessions.

For dedicated stomach sleepers, I would strongly recommend the Luxury Firm option (36 ILD) instead of the medium firmness.

The firmer latex layer would provide the additional support needed to keep the hips from sinking too deeply, ensuring better spinal alignment throughout the night on a mattress for stomach sleeping.

Stomach sleeping puts unique demands on a mattress, and the extra firmness would better serve sleepers who primarily use this position.

Combination Sleeping

As someone who naturally shifts between side, back, and occasional stomach positions throughout the night, I found this firmness level to be remarkably accommodating for all sleeping styles.

The key to a successful mattress for combination sleeping is having a materials that won’t trap you in one position while still providing adequate support for each position you move into.

The responsiveness of the natural latex layer made transitioning between positions feel effortless. Unlike memory foam mattresses that can create a “stuck” feeling when you try to move, the Owl immediately responded to position changes and provided appropriate support for whatever position I moved into.

Whether I rolled from my back to my side or shifted from side sleeping to stomach sleeping, the mattress adapted quickly and comfortably.

The medium firmness struck the perfect balance for combination sleeping. It’s soft enough to provide pressure relief for side sleeping, supportive enough for comfortable back sleeping, and responsive enough to accommodate the frequent position changes that combination sleepers naturally make.

I never felt like I was compromising comfort in one position to accommodate another.

III. Mattress Responsiveness

Responsiveness refers to how quickly a mattress bounces back to its original shape after pressure is applied and then removed.

This feature is absolutely crucial for your sleep comfort because it determines whether you’ll feel stuck or restricted when trying to change positions during the night.

A mattress with poor responsiveness will leave you feeling like you’re sinking into quicksand, making it difficult to roll over, get out of bed, or adjust your sleeping position.

This is especially important for combination sleepers who naturally shift between different positions throughout the night, as well as anyone who wants to feel like they’re sleeping “on” the mattress rather than “in” it.

To test the responsiveness of the Owl mattress, I conducted a straightforward weight test using 10-pound weights.

I placed these weights on different areas of the mattress surface and then quickly removed them while carefully observing how fast the mattress returned to its original shape.

This test simulates what happens when you shift your body weight or change positions during sleep, giving me a clear picture of how the mattress would respond to real-world movement.

The goal was to see if there would be any delay in the mattress bouncing back or if it would immediately return to its normal surface level.

I also gently bounced the ball off the mattress, to observe how quick the surface was to push back against a sudden movement.

The results of this test were truly impressive and exceeded my expectations. The moment I lifted the weights off the mattress surface, the indentations disappeared almost instantly.

There was no gradual slow recovery or lingering impression left behind. The mattress snapped back to its original shape practically before I could fully remove the weights.

This immediate response was consistent across all areas of the mattress I tested, showing that the responsiveness wasn’t just good in certain spots but excellent throughout the entire surface.

I awarded the Nest Bedding Owl mattress a perfect 10 out of 10 for responsiveness because it delivered exactly what you want from this critical feature.

The combination of natural latex and individually wrapped coils created the ideal balance of support and quick recovery that makes movement feel effortless.

The latex component deserves special credit here, as latex is naturally bouncy and responsive compared to memory foam, which tends to have that slow recovery feel.

This level of responsiveness means you’ll never feel trapped or stuck in the mattress, making it an excellent choice for active sleepers who value freedom of movement throughout the night.

IV. Mattress Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is crucial for anyone who shares a bed with a partner, especially if one of you is a restless sleeper.

When a mattress has poor motion transfer, every time your partner tosses and turns, shifts positions, or gets up to use the bathroom, you feel it on your side of the bed.

This can wake you up multiple times throughout the night, leading to fragmented sleep and leaving you feeling tired the next day.

Good motion isolation means you can sleep peacefully even when your partner is moving around, which is essential for maintaining healthy sleep patterns and a happy relationship.

To test the motion isolation on the Owl mattress, I set up a simple but effective demonstration using a mason jar placed on the mattress surface. This jar served as a sensitive indicator of any movement or vibration that would transfer across the mattress.

I then performed realistic movements that simulate what happens during normal sleep. I was tossing and turning, shifting positions, and moving around on my side of the bed while carefully watching how much the mason jar moved in response to my actions.

What struck me most during this test was how remarkably still the mason jar remained throughout my movements.

Even when I was deliberately tossing and turning to simulate restless sleep, the jar barely budged from its original position. This wasn’t just a minor improvement over other mattresses I’ve tested.

It was a dramatic difference that really showcased the Owl’s ability to isolate motion. The combination of individually wrapped coils and the latex comfort layer worked together to absorb and contain movement rather than transferring it across the surface.

I gave the Nest Bedding Owl mattress a perfect 10 out of 10 for motion isolation because it exceeded my expectations in every way. The mason jar test results aligned perfectly with my personal experience sleeping on the mattress.

I genuinely couldn’t feel movement from the other side of the bed during testing. This level of motion isolation is exactly what couples need for undisturbed sleep, and it’s rare to find a mattress that performs this well in this category.

The individually wrapped coil system deserves credit here, as each coil moves independently rather than as a connected unit, which is key to preventing motion transfer across the mattress surface.

V. Mattress Edge Support

Edge support is one of those mattress features that you don’t think about until you don’t have it. When a mattress has poor edge support, you feel like you’re going to roll off the bed when you sit on the side to put on your shoes or when you sleep near the edge.

Good edge support also means you can use the full surface of your mattress instead of feeling restricted to just the center area.

For couples, this is especially important because it gives you more usable sleeping space and prevents that sinking feeling when one person sits on the edge of the bed.

To test the edge support on the Owl mattress, I performed a simple but effective real-world test. I gradually scooted forward from the center of the mattress toward the edge while sitting on it, paying attention to how much the mattress compressed and whether I felt secure or like I might slide off.

This mimics what happens when you sit on the edge of your bed in the morning or evening, which is something most of us do every day without thinking about it.

As I moved closer to the edge, I noticed the mattress did dip down somewhat under my weight, which is normal for most mattresses. However, what impressed me was that I never felt like I was going to fall off or lose my balance, even when sitting right at the very edge.

The individually wrapped coils and reinforced edge design provided enough support to keep me stable and comfortable. The slight compression I felt was actually quite normal and didn’t interfere with the overall supportive feeling.

I gave the Nest Bedding Owl mattress a 9 out of 10 for edge support because it delivered exactly what you want from this feature.

While there was some natural compression when sitting on the edge, the mattress maintained its structural integrity and kept me feeling secure throughout the test.

The reinforced edge coil system clearly does its job well, providing that extra support where the mattress needs it most.

I only held back one point because there was still some noticeable dip, but honestly, this level of edge support is better than what you’ll find on most mattresses in this category.

VI. Cooling and Breathability

Temperature regulation is one of the most important factors for achieving quality sleep, yet it’s often overlooked when shopping for a mattress.

When you sleep too hot, your body struggles to reach the lower core temperature needed for deep, restorative sleep cycles.

Hot sleeping leads to tossing and turning, frequent wake-ups, and that groggy feeling the next morning.

A mattress that traps heat can turn your bed into an uncomfortable oven, especially during warmer months or if you naturally run hot.

Good cooling properties in a mattress help maintain that ideal sleep temperature, allowing your body to stay comfortable and reach those deeper stages of sleep that leave you feeling refreshed.

To evaluate the cooling performance of the Owl mattress, I conducted both tactile and extended sleep testing over several nights in different conditions.

First, I tested the initial feel of the mattress surface with my hand, checking whether it felt warm, neutral, or cool to the touch when I first made contact.

Then I spent multiple nights sleeping on the mattress, paying close attention to how my body temperature felt throughout the night, whether I woke up feeling overheated, and if I noticed any heat buildup in areas where my body made the most contact with the mattress surface.

The Owl mattress showed impressive cooling qualities with its slightly cool-to-the-touch surface when I first placed my hand on it.

Throughout my sleep testing, I consistently stayed comfortable without the sticky, overheated feeling that many mattresses create.

The mattress maintained good breathability throughout most nights, and I could feel that air circulation was working effectively to prevent heat from getting trapped.

While I stayed comfortable during my testing period, I did notice that on particularly warm nights, the cooling effect wasn’t quite as pronounced as I initially experienced.

I gave the Nest Bedding Owl mattress a 9 out of 10 for cooling because it delivered excellent temperature regulation that met nearly all my expectations.

The combination of Joma wool in the cover and the natural latex layer underneath creates a highly breathable sleep surface that promotes good airflow and heat dissipation.

The individually wrapped coils also contribute to cooling by creating natural ventilation channels throughout the mattress core.

While this mattress performs very well for temperature control and most people will not sleep hot on it, I held back one point because there’s still room for improvement during extremely warm conditions or for those who are particularly sensitive to heat.

VII. Durability and Longevity

Assessing the long-term durability and longevity of a mattress is one of the most difficult aspects of mattress reviewing.

See, as a tester, I only have a few days or weeks to examine a product that’s supposed to last 10-20 years, which creates an obvious challenge in making accurate predictions.

You can’t simply sleep on a mattress for a short period and definitively say how it will hold up over years of nightly use, changing seasons, and the inevitable wear that comes with time.

However, experienced testers have developed several reliable methods to estimate durability based on construction quality, materials used, and manufacturing standards that provide valuable insights into a mattress’s likely lifespan.
One of the most reliable ways to predict durability is by closely examining the construction quality and materials used throughout the mattress.

I look for high-quality stitching, reinforced edges, and overall craftsmanship that suggests attention to detail during manufacturing. The Nest Bedding Owl mattress impressed me with its solid construction.

The stitching was precise and sturdy, the edge reinforcement felt robust, and the overall build quality appeared to be made for long-term use.

The materials themselves also tell a story about longevity: natural Talalay latex is known for maintaining its supportive properties much longer than synthetic foams, and individually wrapped coils typically outlast cheaper bonnell coil systems.

Furthermore, natural latex has an excellent track record for durability in the mattress industry, often lasting 15-20 years or more with proper care.

The Talalay latex used in the Owl mattress is particularly well-regarded for maintaining its supportive and responsive properties over time without developing permanent indentations.

The individually wrapped coil system also has a strong durability profile, as each coil operates independently and high-quality steel construction resists sagging and breakage.

CertiPUR-US certified foams, which are used in the transitional layers, are manufactured to strict standards that include durability testing, giving additional confidence in their longevity.

The warranty offered by a manufacturer is often the best indicator of how long they expect their product to last.

Nest Bedding backs the Owl mattress with a limited lifetime warranty, which is significantly longer than the industry standard of 10-20 years.

This suggests the company has serious confidence in their product’s durability, because they wouldn’t offer such extensive coverage if they expected frequent warranty claims.

Companies that offer longer warranties typically use higher-quality materials and construction methods to back up their promises.

Based on these evaluation methods, I expect the Nest Bedding Owl mattress to provide comfortable, supportive sleep for 15-20 years or potentially longer with proper care.

The combination of premium materials, solid construction quality, exceptional warranty coverage, and the company’s manufacturing reputation all point toward a mattress built for the long haul.

While I can’t guarantee exactly how it will perform after a decade of use, all the indicators suggest this is a mattress designed to be a long-term investment in your sleep quality rather than something you’ll need to replace in just a few years.

VIII. Potential Drawbacks

Looking at the Nest Bedding Owl mattress, I need to be honest about some things that might not work for everyone.

The bottom line: this is a quality mattress, but it’s not perfect for everyone. Think about your specific needs before buying.

The Height Issue

At 13 inches tall, this mattress is pretty thick. If you have a low bed frame or you’re shorter, getting in and out of bed might feel awkward. I had to think about whether my sheets would even fit properly. Some people like lower mattresses, and this definitely isn’t that.

It’s Heavy and Hard to Move

When this thing arrived, I quickly realized I couldn’t move it alone. The latex and coils make it really heavy. If you ever need to flip it around your room or move to a new place, you’ll need help. That’s not always convenient.

Not for Everyone’s Sleep Style

Even though it comes in three firmness levels, it’s still a hybrid with coils. If you really want that all-foam feel where you sink in completely, this won’t give you that.

The coils keep it bouncy, which some people don’t like. I noticed I could feel the springiness, especially when getting in and out of bed.

The Latex Factor

This is a big one. It’s made with natural latex. If you have any latex allergies, this mattress is completely off-limits. Even if you’re not sure about allergies, the latex smell when you first open it might bother you. It faded for me, but it was noticeable at first.

Price Point Reality

While it’s cheaper than some luxury latex mattresses, it’s still not cheap. If you’re on a tight budget, this might be hard to justify. The financing options help, but you’re still paying for a premium mattress.

The Bounce Factor

That responsive latex I praised? It might be too much for some people. If you sleep with a partner who moves around a lot, you might feel more motion than you’d like. Light sleepers might find the bounciness distracting.

Temperature Questions

Even though it’s supposed to sleep cool, latex can feel different to different people. I stayed comfortable, but if you’re someone who runs really hot, you might want to test it during the trial period to be sure.

IX. Trial Period, Warranty, Pricing, and Sizes

Before you buy any mattress, you need to understand what happens after you purchase it. What if you don’t like how it feels? What if something goes wrong with it? How much will it really cost you?

These policies can make or break your mattress buying experience. A good sleep trial lets you test the mattress at home where you actually sleep.

A strong warranty protects your investment for years to come. And knowing the real price (including what’s covered and what’s not) helps you budget properly.

The Owl Hybrid stands out because of its customer-friendly policies. While many companies make it hard to return mattresses or only cover defects for a few years, Nest Bedding does things differently.

Sleep Trial

You get a full year to try your Owl Hybrid mattress at home. If you don’t love it, you can return it or exchange it.

Here’s how it works:

• You must sleep on it for at least 30 nights before returning it
• After 30 nights, you can exchange it for a different firmness or return it
• You have 365 nights total to decide
• The trial starts when your mattress is delivered

Special Bonus: Lifetime Renewal Exchange

The Owl Hybrid comes with something called a Lifetime Renewal Exchange (LRE). This is a one-time deal where you can get a new comfort layer for your mattress – either during your first year or years later when your mattress gets worn out.

This is great because:

• You don’t have to buy a whole new mattress
• It saves you money
• It’s better for the environment
• You can use it once during the 365-night trial OR save it for later

The LRE is free (except for shipping costs outside the lower 48 states).

Mattress Warranty

Nest Bedding gives you a lifetime warranty on your Owl Hybrid mattress. This means they will fix or replace your mattress for free if something goes wrong with it, for as long as you own it.

The warranty covers these problems:

• If your mattress sags more than 1 inch deep
• If the zipper on the cover breaks (but not if you break it yourself)
• If the fabric tears or comes apart (but not from normal use)

The warranty does NOT cover:

• Normal wear over time
• Stains, burns, or damage you cause
• Small dents less than 1 inch deep
• If you don’t like how firm or soft it feels
• Damage from pets or kids

To make a warranty claim, email them with your order number, photos of the problem, and tell them what’s wrong. They will get back to you in 7 business days.

Pricing and Sizes

The Owl Hybrid comes in all standard mattress sizes, with price in the premium range. It’s more expensive than budget brands but competitive with other high-end mattresses

Yes, the Owl Hybrid costs more than budget mattresses. But when you compare it to other luxury brands and organic brands, the price is fair.

Especially when you factor in the lifetime warranty and year-long trial. The extra cost upfront could save you money in the long run since you won’t need to replace it as often.

For most people, the queen size gives you the best value. It’s big enough for couples but not as expensive as the king sizes.

X. Customer Reviews

When shopping for a new mattress, I’ve felt overwhelmed by all the choices. The company websites made every mattress sound perfect.

But I knew I needed to hear from real people who actually sleep on these beds every night. That’s why I always read customer reviews before making a big purchase like this.

Real reviews tell you things the companies won’t. Like if the mattress gets too hot or if it starts sagging after a year.

The Nest Bedding Owl Hybrid gets high marks from customers. It has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating based on over 4,500 reviews. Even more impressive, 94% of customers keep their Owl mattress instead of returning it. This tells us most people are happy with their purchase.

Many couples say this mattress works well even when partners have different needs. Rose S. explains how she’s a light side sleeper who likes soft support, while her husband is a heavy back sleeper who wants more bounce. They both love the Owl mattress. This flexibility makes it a good choice for couples.

Customer after customer mentions how comfortable the Owl is. Jessie W. says she “can’t wait to sleep each night” and calls it amazing. Sarah describes it as “the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on.” Rose (a different customer) says she hasn’t “slept so good in years” and even mentions drooling because she sleeps so deeply.

Several customers mention the mattress helped with their aches and pains. Stefanie G.’s wife had shoulder pain from their old memory foam mattress, and this got better with the Owl. Rose stopped waking up with back pain and stiff shoulders after switching to the Owl.

Customers appreciate that the mattress uses eco-friendly and organic materials. This gives them peace of mind about what they sleep on every night.

Areas for Improvement

While some customers find the mattress sleeps cooler than memory foam, others expected better temperature control. Stefanie G. hoped the latex would keep him much cooler at night, but says it only helps “a little bit.” If you’re a very hot sleeper, this might not solve all your temperature problems.

Some customers mention the high cost. Stefanie G. says that for the price, he expected something more impressive. However, most customers feel the quality justifies the cost.

One customer had problems with the packaging during delivery. The inner plastic wrapper was torn, causing the mattress to expand suddenly. While this didn’t affect the mattress quality, it made setup more difficult.

The Nest Bedding Owl Hybrid gets strong reviews from real customers. People love how comfortable it is and how it works for different sleeping styles. The natural materials and pain relief benefits are big selling points.

While it’s expensive and might not be the coolest-sleeping option available, most customers feel very satisfied with their purchase. The high customer retention rate of 94% suggests this mattress delivers on its promises for most people.

XI. Environmental Impact

When shopping for a mattress, it’s easy to focus only on comfort and price, but the environmental impact of your purchase matters more than many people realize.

The mattress industry has historically been problematic for the environment, with many companies using synthetic materials, harmful chemicals, and wasteful manufacturing processes.

A single mattress can take decades to decompose in a landfill, and the production of conventional mattresses often involves petroleum-based foams and chemical fire retardants that can harm both the environment and human health.

A company’s environmental practices help you make a purchase that aligns with your values while supporting more sustainable manufacturing.

Commitment to Sustainability

Nest Bedding has made environmental responsibility a core part of their business model, and this shows clearly in the Owl mattress construction.

The company is committed to creating a more sustainable future through their material choices and manufacturing processes.

All Nest Bedding mattresses are 100% fiberglass-free, which eliminates the use of a common but problematic fire retardant that can create health and environmental concerns.

Instead, they use a non-chemical fire barrier made from hydrogenated silica, which is much safer for both people and the planet.

Natural and Certified Materials

The Owl mattress features several environmentally conscious material choices that reduce its overall environmental footprint.

The natural Talalay latex is derived from rubber trees, making it a renewable resource that biodegrades much more easily than synthetic foam alternatives.

The organic stretch knit cotton cover and Joma wool are both natural, biodegradable materials that don’t require the intensive chemical processing associated with synthetic fabrics.

All foams used in the mattress are CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they’re made without harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, heavy metals, and ozone depleters that can pollute air and water during manufacturing.

Manufacturing and Quality Practices

Nest Bedding manufactures their mattresses in the USA, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with overseas shipping and supports domestic manufacturing jobs.

The company also allows their foams and latex to air out in the factory before shipping, which not only reduces off-gassing for customers but also prevents these chemicals from entering the environment during the initial curing process.

The high-quality construction and lifetime warranty mean this mattress is designed to last 15-20 years or more, reducing the frequency of replacement and keeping fewer mattresses out of landfills over time.

Long-Term Environmental Benefits

Perhaps most importantly for environmental impact, the Owl mattress includes the Lifetime Renewal Exchange program, which allows you to replace just the comfort layer instead of throwing away the entire mattress when it eventually wears out.

This innovative approach significantly reduces waste by extending the useful life of the mattress core while only replacing the top layer that experiences the most wear.

The program represents a move toward a more circular economy model where products are designed for longevity and partial renewal rather than complete disposal.

Areas for Continued Improvement

While Nest Bedding has made significant strides in environmental responsibility, there are still areas where the industry as a whole could improve.

The individually wrapped coils, while durable and effective, are made from steel that requires energy-intensive manufacturing processes.

And, while the company uses organic and natural materials where possible, some synthetic components are still necessary for performance and durability.

However, compared to many mattress manufacturers who rely heavily on petroleum-based foams and chemical treatments, Nest Bedding’s approach represents a meaningful step toward more sustainable sleep products.

XII. Conclusion

After thoroughly testing the Nest Bedding Owl Natural Latex Hybrid mattress across all the categories that matter most for quality sleep, I’m confident in giving it a perfect 10 out of 10 overall score.

This mattress truly delivers on every promise, from exceptional responsiveness and motion isolation to impressive cooling and solid edge support.

The combination of natural Talalay latex, individually wrapped coils, and organic materials creates a sleep experience that’s both luxurious and practical.

What sets the Owl apart isn’t just its excellent performance in testing, but also the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

The 365-night sleep trial gives you a full year to decide if it’s right for you, while the lifetime warranty shows Nest Bedding’s confidence in their product. The unique Lifetime Renewal Exchange program adds even more value by letting you refresh your comfort layer when needed, making this mattress a true long-term investment in your sleep health.

XIII. FAQs

Is Nest Bedding a good value for the price?

The Owl mattress costs less than comparable models like the Avocado Green mattress and Nature Pedic Conerto Plush, while still providing high-quality materials and construction.

The company also includes valuable extras like a 365-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty, and their unique Lifetime Renewal Exchange program that lets you swap out comfort layers if needed.

When you factor in these benefits along with the USA manufacturing and premium materials, I’d say it provides solid value for those willing to invest in a quality sleep system.

Is the Nest Bedding Owl non-toxic?

Yes, Nest Bedding takes a strong approach to creating non-toxic sleep products. All their mattresses are 100% fiberglass-free, which eliminates concerns about inhaling harmful particles that some other mattress companies use as fire retardants.

Instead, they use a non-chemical fire barrier made from hydrogenated silica, and all their foams are CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they’re made without harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, heavy metals, and other toxic substances.

The company also allows their foams and latex to air out in the factory before shipping, which significantly reduces any off-gassing odors you might experience when the mattress arrives.

How long does a Nest Bedding Owl last?

Nest Bedding stands behind their mattresses with a limited lifetime warranty, which suggests they expect these mattresses to last for many years.

The high-quality construction includes durable materials like natural Talalay latex, individually wrapped coils with a 20-year warranty, and CertiPUR-US certified foams that are made to last.

Based on the materials used and the manufacturing quality I observed, along with proper care and maintenance, I would expect a Nest mattress to provide comfortable sleep for 15-20 years or potentially longer.

The latex component is particularly known for its durability compared to traditional memory foam.

Is the Nest Bedding Owl good for back pain?

The Nest Bedding Owl mattress can be excellent for back pain sufferers, especially because it comes in three different firmness levels to match individual needs.

The combination of natural latex and individually wrapped coils provides both contouring support and proper spinal alignment, which are crucial for back pain relief.

The latex layer adapts to your body’s curves while the coil system offers targeted support where you need it most, and the medium firmness option I tested felt comfortable for all sleeping positions.

However, since back pain is personal and can have different causes, I’d recommend taking advantage of their 365-night trial period to ensure it works for your specific needs.

Does the Nest Bedding Owl have fiberglass?

No, Nest Bedding explicitly states that all are 100% fiberglass-free mattresses. This is actually a significant selling point for the company, as many mattress manufacturers use fiberglass as a cheap fire retardant, which can be dangerous if it escapes from the mattress cover.

Instead of fiberglass, Nest Bedding uses a non-chemical fire barrier made from hydrogenated silica to meet fire safety requirements.

This makes their mattresses safer for your home environment, as there’s no risk of fiberglass particles becoming airborne and potentially causing respiratory or skin irritation.
