Take a look at our Love & Sleep video review below!
Note: Since the publication of this video, we have updated Nest Bedding’s social mission score from 3 to 5. This increase results in an increase of their overall score to an 8.8.
We brought the Love & Sleep mattress into our lab and tested it across 14 performance categories. Our total score is a weighted average of all the categories, including functionality, performance, and the social responsibility of the mattress company.

To gauge motion transfer, we ask one tester to lie on the mattress blindfolded while the other tester moves around. Our testers noted that they could feel their partner moving around, so they gave the Love & Sleep a 7.75/10 for the first motion transfer test.
For our second test, we placed a tall-stem glass of red wine on one end of the mattress and asked a tester to roll around on the other. The wine glass barely moved, so we gave it a 9/10 for the second test. Overall, the Love & Sleep mattress earned a combined score of 8.4/10 for motion transfer.
We assess pressure relief by asking our testers to lie down on a heat mapping film on the mattress surface. Blue on the map means that the tester’s body weight is evenly distributed, while red indicates a high pressure zone. The heat map for our first tester was great, and the second tester had only a tiny bit of red, so we gave the Love & Sleep an excellent pressure relief score of 9/10.
In order to determine how cool a mattress sleeps, we look at breathability, heat retention, and cooling features. The Love & Sleep mattress has a breathable construction that includes a convoluted (i.e. wavy) foam layer that creates lots of channels for airflow. Additionally, the mattress cover is temperature regulating.
We found that the Love & Sleep has a temperature-neutral feel. In other words, it doesn’t provide substantive cooling if you’re a hot sleeper, but it does prevent excessive heat retention.
The soft foam feel of the medium Love & Sleep mattress works best for side sleepers, since they need extra cushion around pressure points. The firm mattress is better suited for back sleepers and stomach sleepers because it provides better alignment.
Combination sleepers will also do well thanks to the surprising responsiveness offered by this foam mattress.
We found the Love & Sleep mattress to be more temperature-neutral than cooling. Still, it does a slightly better job at preventing heat retention than other value memory foam mattresses.
If you sleep extra hot, the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress sleeps cool and is relatively budget-conscious.
Generally, memory foam mattresses are a better fit for sleepers with average body types. Foam and coil hybrid mattresses are better for those with plus-sized or heavier body types, since they provide extra support.
Nest Bedding says that their Love & Sleep mattress can support up to 900lbs. With that said, we think it will provide the best combo of comfort and support for petite or average-sized sleepers.
Nest Bedding mattresses are designed to be supported by a solid foundation or adjustable base. Slatted beds should have no more than four inches between slats. Traditional box springs have too much flex and will change the feel of the mattress.
Here’s what we found when we got up close and personal with the Love & Sleep mattress.

Our Love & Sleep mattress arrived compressed and rolled in a box. It took us less than 90 seconds to set it up, but a queen is 70lbs, so you may need help from a friend. The mattress inflated instantly, and we didn’t notice any off-gassing. Plus, the mattress has four handles to make lifting and adjusting easier.
Here’s all you need to know when purchasing a Love & Sleep mattress.
Policy | Details |

Nest customers get free shipping within the continental United States (extra shipping costs apply for orders in Alaska and Hawaii). Your mattress will be delivered in four to eight business days, and you’ll get a tracking number once your order has shipped.
You can get a quote for white glove delivery through Nest’s operations team at 888-992-2001. Old mattress removal is offered for $100.
The Nest Bedding mattress sleep trial period is 100 nights and begins on your date of delivery. This is a pretty standard trial period for a mattress company. Nest asks that you sleep on your new mattress for at least 30 nights before making a decision, so your body has enough time to adjust to a new sleeping surface.
The Love & Sleep mattress is covered by a lifetime warranty when purchased directly from Nest Bedding or an authorized retailer. You’ll receive mattress repairs or a replacement mattress if your original develops covered defects. Email customerservice@nestbedding.com or contact your Nest showroom to make a claim.
Nest also offers a Lifetime Comfort Guarantee that enables past customers to buy one additional mattress for a 30% discount as long as you haven’t exchanged or returned your original mattress.
Our experience with the Nest Bedding customer service team was positive. We spoke with a friendly, professional rep over Facebook Messenger, but you can also reach their customer service team by emailing sales@nestbedding.com or calling 888-992-2001 seven days a week between 8PM–6PM PST.
During the 100-night trial period, you can receive a 100% refund when you return your mattress after 30 days. You can also request one Comfort Exchange per customer, per year. You can exchange the whole mattress or just one comfort layer. First, buy your new mattress or comfort layer, and then initiate a return of the original.
The Love & Sleep mattress is ideal if you’re looking for a well-performing memory foam mattress at an affordable price. Side sleepers should stick with the medium version, and back and stomach sleepers should go with the firm.
If you overheat at night, you’ll be more comfortable on a mattress like the Leesa (memory foam mattress) or GhostBed (latex mattress).
The Love & Sleep is generally more affordable than other factory direct memory foam mattresses on the market.
The Nest Bedding Alexander Signature Series is Nest’s best-selling memory foam mattress. It outperforms the Love & Sleep for spine alignment, responsiveness, and cooling, and it has a medium and firm side, but it’s also almost 2x the cost of the Love & Sleep.
Nest Bedding has storefronts in California, New York, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, and Washington state. Check out their website for the location closest to you.
Nest Bedding recommends using your mattress on the floor for five to seven nights. If doing so changes the feel of your mattress, you need to invest in a more supportive foundation.
Nope. Nest Bedding uses FedEx and UPS and doesn’t require a signature for your package to be delivered.
