All About Live and Sleep
• Comfort and Feel
The Live And Sleep mattress serve up memory foam to rest your weary body. Generally speaking, the problem that people have with memory foam mattress is the sink-in. When you lie on a memory foam mattress, you sink into it and that tends to trap heat. This will be uncomfortable for some sleepers. Thankfully, not all memory foam mattresses sink in. Some are designed with other materials that avoid these pitfalls. The Live And Sleep mattress is one of these memory foam unicorns.
The mattress comes in only one firmness option: medium firm. This firmness option is suitable for all type of sleepers and since this beautiful sleep surface breathes well, it will be popular. However, if you generally prefer a soft or firm mattress, Live And Sleep are not for you. Get out of the way. Everyone else needs to tuck into their new favorite mattress.

• Motion Isolation
This is an important feature for couples who share a mattress. Motion isolation minimizes motion transfer on any mattress. In other words, when sleeping on a mattress with good motion isolation, you will never be disturbed by a partner who rolls and moves throughout the night. Memory foam mattresses have the best motion isolation in the industry and the Live And Sleep mattress is no exception. Sure, you might notice if your partner drops their collection of bowling balls onto your bed in the middle of the night, but any other motion should be contained (and if your partner likes to drop bowling balls onto your mattress while you sleep, then you have bigger problems than your mattress).
Motion Isolation Rating: 5/5
• Off-Gassing
Off-gassing is a common annoyance with new mattresses. It’s like new car smell, some people love it and others hate it. Although, some mattresses produce a strong smell that lasts for a worrying amount of time. That’s a problem. Fortunately, the Live And Sleep mattress only produces the standard “new mattress smell” and it will dissipate after a few days. Obviously, it helps to open it in a well-ventilated room and let it air out before use, but the off-gassing here is still fairly minor and nothing to be concerned about.
Off-Gassing Rating: 3.5/5
• Temperature
Many people find it difficult to sleep on a mattress that traps heat. In the summer, this can become unbearable. Sleepers end up sweating profusely and soaking their mattress. Memory foam mattresses are known to trap heat and that’s why many people won’t touch them.
However, when memory foam is combined with other breathable materials, it leads to the best mattresses on the market. The Live And Sleep mattress is made with stretch knit cover. This material is very light and breathable. It ensures that the Live And Sleep mattress rarely traps heat and facilitates some darn fine sleep.
Temperature Rating: 3.5/5

Delivery Fee is FREE for standard shipping (but it takes longer for customers in Hawaii and Alaska to receive their order). Live And Sleep utilize FedEx and UPS ground for all deliveries.

Materials
Live And Sleep is a memory foam mattress made with a variety of materials to avoid the pitfalls of this style of mattress (poor edge support, sinking-in, heat-trapping) while augmenting the strengths (comfort, good motion isolation). This mattress has three layers: a comfort layer, a support layer, and a cover made of stretch knit.
The comfort layer is made of memory foam. Memory foam is made from polyurethane, which is similar to polyfoam. The difference between memory foam and polyfoam is the fact that memory foam has viscoelastic properties. This property helps the mattress to return to its original shape after pressure has been released. The major reason why many customers prefer memory foam is the conformity it gives, molding to the shape of the sleeper to help relieve pressure.
The Support layer features polyfoam. Polyfoam is similar to memory foam in chemical composition, just without the viscoelastic property. It has a quicker bounce-back response and providing both comfort and support. Polyfoam is more resilient than memory foam and has the ability to efficiently and effectively support the heavier parts of the body while sleeping.
The cover is made with stretch knit. This is a breathable material that allows the free flow of air in and out of the mattress. This material is solely responsible for keeping this mattress cool. It helps to counter the heating-trapping characteristics of the memory foam. The cover is also removable, for those who prefer the extra heat.
The Live And Sleep mattress were constructed with a great deal of care and consideration. It is one of the few memory foam mattresses that won’t trap heat and manages to offer good edge support. That alone makes it special.

Popular Review
Logan Block, the Director of Content at Sleepopolis, gave this mattress a rating of 4.1/5 and wrote:
“The Live and Sleep mattress has a balanced firmness at a 6-6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. It also provides a pronounced body hug and contour, without causing the sleeper to feel overly “stuck” in the foam. Good cooling, good support, and stylish design round out this new mattress startup. If you’re looking for memory foam, pronounced contour, and robust support for under $900, the Live and Sleep can be a good option”
Jon Auer of Mattress Clarity wrote:
“The Live and Sleep is a fine mattress, though I don’t think it offers anything particularly interesting in the general online-only mattress landscape. I had a good experience sleeping on the mattress, but I don’t see any reason why you would choose Live and Sleepover other similar mattresses I have reviewed”
Overall Value and Recommendation
What I found most impressive about the Live And Sleep mattress is it’s a combination of a deep contour and slight firmness. This is a great mattress for side sleepers who want a medium-firm mattress with a slight push-back feel. The removable cover makes the mattress easy to maintain and clean. And thanks to the excellent motion transfer, this is the ideal mattress for couples. There is even a customer-friendly trial period and warranty. So it’s hard to think of much negative to say about this mattress.
In general, I recommend the Life And Sleep mattress for:
- Customers who want memory foam, but don’t want to sleep hot or get stuck in their mattress.
- Customers that seek a medium-firm feel.
- Couples who share a mattress.
However, it might not be the right mattress if you:
- Customers who want memory foam, but don’t want to sleep hot or get stuck in their mattress.
- Customers that seek a medium-firm feel.
- Couples who share a mattress.
