After just five short years in business, Nolah Sleep has made quite the name for themselves, even creating their own foam: Nolah Air Foam. All of their mattresses are expertly crafted with Nolah AirFoam, designed to keep you snug and comforted, yet lifted and supported, and most of all, cool. The new hybrid Nolah Evolution is “The Best Mattress for Side Sleepers” in 2021, but with three mattress choices, including their Original and Signature models, you can find something that suits you and your sleeping style. With a hassle-free online buying experience, free shipping, a 120-night trial, and a 15-year warranty, the customer service experience will be on par with the mattress quality.
With the Nolah AirFoam, there is no detectable odor. Though the mattress will still need to off-gas as it expands, you will be pleased not to smell that slightly unpleasant “new mattress” smell.
Durability:
Excellent
The lifetime warranty offered with all Nolah mattresses certainly helps the customer feel secure in the durability of the Evolution mattress. Typically with coils, like in the hybrid Evolution mattress, you can expect a little more sag over time. However, Nolah AirFoam is extremely durable. After rigorous testing, the Nolah mattress only lost .03” after 100,000 testing cycles. This hybrid mattress will not be sagging on you anytime soon!
Temperature:
Excellent
The Nolah AirFoam comes into play again here by keeping you cool while you sleep. This foam is different from traditional memory foam, which traps heat and can cause some sleepers to get sweaty. In contrast, Nolah AirFoam is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams which do not react with body heat, which amounts to a cooler night’s sleep.
Sex:
Great
Couples generally want a “bouncy” feel in the bedroom to support sexual activity. With a hybrid mattress, like the Evolution, there is a layer of coils. This will lend the couple a little more bounce and support in the bedroom.
Conforming:
Good
This mattress will not feel like a stereotypical memory foam bed, which is sometimes described as sleeping on a cloud. This is because of the Nolah AirFoam in combination with the layer of springs. While there will be no pressure on your joints due to the foam, you will not experience the “cloud” like feeling, nor will you sink into this mattress.
Edge Support:
Excellent
The Evolution mattress has an 8-inch layer of patented tri-zoned support coils which are wrapped in their proprietary Edge-Tech™ support foam. This supportive foam around the coils helps with strengthening the edge of the mattress, so you will not be slipping off any saggy sides.
Noise:
Good
One of the downsides of a hybrid mattress is the squeak that comes with coils. However, again, thanks to the cushioning Edge-Tech foam around the coils, the sound will be much less noticeable. You certainly will not be waking up every time you move due to an unpleasant squeak - the foam will dampen and help to absorb any squeaking caused by the coils.
Motion Isolation:
Great
Because this is not a full foam bed, it is not completely devoid of motion. However, many couples seem to sleep wonderfully on this bed. The many layers of supportive foam, plus the foam wrapped around the coils really help with motion. You will not be able to feel your partner getting in or out of bed thanks to the many layers of plush foam.

How does the Nolah mattress feel?
You may expect an innerspring mattress to be too firm due to the coils, but with a hybrid mattress, you get the best of both worlds—conforming foam and supportive coils. The Nolah Evolution has a medium feel, about a 5.5 on a scale of 10, with 10 being the firmest. Because of plush layers of foam on top, you will have a slight “sinking in” comfortable feeling, but not so soft that you feel unsupported.

Nolah Service and Delivery
Shopping online for a Nolah mattress is a very pleasant experience. There is a live chat available at all times to assist you as you shop, and you are also able to reach out to customer support via phone or email. There are also guides on their website to help with sizing and finding the best mattress for your sleep style.
With bundling options available, you can build your perfect bed with an adjustable base, of course, your Nolah mattress, pillows, and bedding. Don’t worry; you can rest easy on your new bed, and in your bank account, with financing available through Affirm.
Shipping is fast and free to the continental US, so you can receive your new mattress quickly. Your old mattress can be removed, and your new mattress set up for an added fee of $125. After this, you may begin your 120-night trial. After an initial adjustment period of 30 days, you may return your Nolah Evolution if you are uncomfortable at no cost to you. If you decide to keep your mattress after the 30-day trial, you can activate your lifetime warranty and sleep comfortably forever.
Is This Mattress for Me?
The Nolah Evolution may be the right mattress for you if you desire the support of an innerspring mattress with the cozy feeling of conforming foam. The Evolution is great for back and side sleepers, especially those who need relief on their joints and/or pressure points. This is also a great mattress for people who need help staying cool while sleeping. Hot sleepers will benefit from the Evolution’s cooling quilted layer and Nolah AirFoamICE, staying cool and comfortable all night.
Simply contact Nolah Support via email, within 120-days and request to return it. No shipping fees or return fees are charged. They do require you to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 days before deciding.
