Construction
Muse Sleep Memory Foam Construction
The Muse Sleep mattress is a stack of several different materials that are combined into the same package for superior sleeping characteristics.
In the Muse mattress, you’ll find a cooling cover, gel infused foam, the responsive comfort foam of your choice, and a supportive foundation foam. The magic of the Muse Sleep mattress begins with the cooling cover, which uses the Cold Wire Plus phase-changing cooling fabric. The Cold Wire Plus absorbs heat that’s generated as you sleep and prevents that heat from bothering you while you sleep.
Its comfort and support foams ensure that the bed transfers very little motion and relieves pressure with ease.
For the comfort foam, you can pick between soft, medium, or firm insets. Each comfort foam is a different density which creates a different sleeping feeling so that you’ll get exactly the kind of bed that you want.
Transparency Matters
Muse Sleep is exceedingly transparent regarding the construction and components which go into their mattress. Because of their openness, consumers who buy from Muse Sleep can rest assured that they won’t get any surprises regarding the components of their bed.
Ultra-Cool Washable Cover: Premium 480 GSM (grams per square meter) Proprietary Cold Wire Fabric made of Polyethylene and Polyester knitted yarns.
Temperature Regulating Gel Foam: 2″ of 4 lbs. density wave gel swirl memory foam.
Response Comfort Foam
The Soft Mattress – 2″ of 3 lbs density memory foam with lower deflection value for a softer feel.
The Medium Mattress – 2″ of 3 lbs density memory foam with a slightly higher deflection value. This creates a well balanced feel.
The Firm Mattress – 2″ of 2.3 lbs density High Grade Flex Foam with an even higher deflection value. This creates Muse’s most supportive feel.
Supportive Foundation: The Muse Sleep mattress is constructed with an excellent foundation made from 8 inches of 2 lb. density core support flex foam. It’s then covered in high quality fabric. This foundation will last many years because of its quality materials. It’s important to note that even far more expensive memory foam mattresses seldom use over 1.5 lb density cores.

Muse Sleep Memory Foam Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Sleeps cool: Cold Wire Plus and phase-changing technology keep you sleeping cool and comfortable
- Superior pressure relief: Dense layers of contouring memory foam create ideal sleep environment.
- Limited motion detection: Sleep partner disturbance is kept to a minimum.
- Available in 3 firmness options: Muse Sleep covers a full range of comfort preferences.
- Great dollar value: The muse mattress has similar specifications to mattresses costing twice as much.
Cons:
- Edge support: Like most memory foam options, the Muse Sleep mattress does not provide the same degree off edge support as a coil can. If you like the pressure relieving feel of foam but want a more substantial edge to edge support, consider a hybrid. IDLE Sleep or KAYA Sleep offer quality alternatives at reasonable price points. Both utilize full edge to edge coil support.
Serta iComfort Blue 100 Gentle Firm Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Pressure relieving comfort: Quality foams offer contouring support
- Low motion transfer: Limited partner sleep disturbance for couples
- Sleeps cool: Tempactiv and EverCool technology offer breathable temperature regulating comfort
- Support: Quality memory and support foams offer solid body alignment
- Great Value: an appropriately priced mattress for its category
Cons:
- Limited firmness range: With only one firmness options, the 100 will not satisfy everyone's comfort need. Serta’s Blue lineup does offer several other options ranging from a firm to super soft.
