Firmness Info

Medium feel top of the bed you need - not too firm, not too soft. Rated a 7 to 8 on the firmness scale. Maximum support - to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Helix Plus is designed for Plus Size and Big & Tall and offers maximum support with a medium feel, it has five layers of construction:

  • Tencel Cover
  • 1.5" Helix Dynamic Foam
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam (Density: 4.0 lb)
  • 1.5" Memory Foam Plus
  • 8" Body Shaped Innersprings with reinforced perimeter
  • 0.5" DuraDense Base Foam.

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

  • 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
  • 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

Comfort Info

Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

Support Info

The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

Comfort Specs

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body.
Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

Support Specs

Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support.
The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

Fabric Specs

Each Plus mattress comes with our Ultra Breathable Tencel technology designed to increase airflow and to keep you cool.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
