Set up test

The Muse mattress took us just at a minute and a half to set-up.  Muse was a little heavy on the packaging, but the mattress had minimal smell and quickly expanded to its full shape.

So for our setup test, Muse Sleep gets a 9 out of 10.

Motion Transfer Test

Part A - The Humans

The Muse kept motion transfer pretty minimal, which is good for couples who don’t want to be disturbed by their sleeping partner during the night. RJ and Asha gave it a collective score of 8.25.

Part B - The Wine

The wine wobbled a little bit, but not too badly! So we gave it an 8.5

So for a total motion transfer score, we gave Muse Sleep a 8.4 out of 10.

Edge Support Test

Part A - The Shoe Test

The Muse scored a 6.75 for the edge shoe test. RJ and Asha noted the edge felt a little slippery to sit on. Note that this may go away with the use of sheets.

Part B - The Side Test

Once again, RJ and Asha found it a little difficult to lay on the edge. So for the edge support side, the Muse scored a 7.25.

So Muse Sleep gets a 7 out of 10 for edge support.

Pressure Relief Test

We saw mainly blue and green on RJ! So we gave him an 8.5.

We saw a little bit of red in Asha’s shoulders, so we gave her a 7.

So for a total pressure relief score, Muse Sleep gets a 7.75 out of 10.

Spine Alignment Test

Both RJ and Asha’s spines were really straight with only a slight curve towards the base of the neck.

For spine alignment, Muse Sleep gets a 9 out of 10.

Responsiveness Test

RJ and Asha both felt the Muse did a pretty good job of responding to their adjustments.

So Muse Sleep gets a 8 out of 10 for responsiveness.

What Muse Sleep customers have to say

• “Chronic back fatigue has always plagued me and this mattress is finally giving me some relief! I’m a big guy and work on my feet all day long and even with the right footwear, my back is still aching by the time I come home at the end of the day. Sleeping on the firm mattress has helped me recover better at night by providing support for my lower back” -Iriving
• “Overall, love this bed. The cooling fabric does make a noticeable difference and it was a bonus that I got to choose the firmness. I chose the soft and it’s just right.” -Rachel
• “Wife loves it. I really like it as well. Still in the trial period as we have been using it for about a week and it is completely different than our really old mattress. No smell upon opening the mattress and cool to the touch as advertised.” -Jim
