Curious about the original Awara Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress? Don’t miss my detailed mattress review comparing its features, firmness, and overall performance. You draw a comparison on how the two mattresses differ and which one may best suit your sleep style.

Let’s get started!

Q1. What is unique about Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid mattress? Does it provide superior cooling, comfort, back support, and pressure relief?

As someone who has reviewed several mattresses, I can say the Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress stands out for its thoughtful combination of natural materials and performance-focused design.

Here’s what I find unique:

Eco-Conscious Craftsmanship

The Awara Premier is made with Rainforest Alliance-certified natural Dunlop latex, organic cotton, and 100% organic New Zealand wool. These materials not only feel luxurious but also prioritize sustainability. Knowing that your mattress is crafted with minimal environmental impact is a big plus in today’s market.

Hybrid Design for Balance

The pairing of 4 inches of Dunlop latex with an 8-inch premium coil support core creates an ideal balance of contouring and bounce. This ensures your body feels supported without the “sinking” sensation often associated with foam-heavy mattresses.

Now, let me break down its performance in key areas.

Cooling

Awara Premier excels in cooling. The natural latex, combined with organic wool and cotton, promotes breathability and wicks away moisture. The individually wrapped coils enhance airflow, making this mattress a great choice for hot sleepers. I noticed a significant difference in temperature regulation compared to memory foam mattresses, which tend to trap heat.

Comfort

The plush Euro Top, cushioned with organic New Zealand wool, feels incredibly inviting. It’s soft to the touch yet doesn’t compromise on support. Whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper, this mattress adapts well to your preferred sleeping position. Personally, I found the medium-firm feel (rated at 6.5) to be a sweet spot for both comfort and support.

Back Support

If you’re looking for a mattress that supports proper spinal alignment, the Awara Premier delivers. The latex layer gently contours to your body, while the coil support core provides a sturdy base. I noticed reduced tension in my lower back after sleeping on this mattress, which speaks to its excellent design for back support.

Pressure Relief

Its 4-inch Dunlop latex layer shines in this area. It effectively cushions pressure points like shoulders, hips, and knees, making it a great option for anyone dealing with joint or muscle pain. Unlike traditional foam, latex provides targeted relief without compromising durability or responsiveness.

Q2. How firm is Awara Premier Natural Luxury mattress?

Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid mattress falls into the medium-firm range, with a firmness level of 6.5 on a 10-point scale.

From my experience, this level of firmness strikes a great balance for many sleepers. It’s firm enough to provide solid support, especially for back and stomach sleepers, yet it’s still plush enough to offer a comfortable, slightly cradling feel that side sleepers often appreciate.

The 4-inch Dunlop latex layer plays a key role in achieving this firmness. Dunlop latex is inherently denser and more durable than Talalay latex, which gives the mattress its slightly firmer, supportive feel. Combined with the 8-inch individually wrapped coil support core, this design ensures that you won’t sink too deeply into the mattress while still enjoying contouring comfort around your body.

Personally, I found this firmness level ideal for maintaining proper spinal alignment without feeling overly rigid. If you prefer a mattress that’s not too soft but also not excessively firm, Awara Premier might hit the sweet spot for your sleep preferences.

Q3. How thick is Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress?

Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress has a total thickness of 12 inches, crafted with four well-designed layers of natural and organic materials.

Here’s a quick breakdown of its construction:

1. Plush Euro Top (Top Layer): Covered in smooth organic cotton and soft 100% New Zealand wool, this layer adds a touch of luxury and ensures a cool, dry sleep surface.
2. Breathable Dunlop Latex (Second Layer): A 4-inch layer of Rainforest Alliance-certified natural Dunlop latex provides contouring comfort and pressure relief.
3. Premium Coil Support Core (Third Layer): An 8-inch layer of individually wrapped coils offers excellent support, reduces motion transfer, and enhances breathability.
4. Reinforced Base (Bottom Layer): Wrapped in a beautiful cotton blend cover, this supportive base includes 4 sturdy handles for easy moving.

At 12 inches, Awara Premier’s thickness provides a balanced profile that fits most standard sheets and bed frames, while delivering the durability and support needed for restful sleep.

Q4. Is Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress safe?

Firmness

Why is Mattress Firmness an Important Factor to Consider?

When it comes to choosing a mattress, firmness plays a critical role in determining your sleep quality and comfort. The firmness level of a mattress is how hard or soft it feels, and it affects how well your body is supported while you sleep.

Awara’s Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress falls in the medium-firm range (around a 6.5 on a 10-point firmness scale), which is designed to offer a balanced blend of comfort and support.

Here’s how this firmness level aligns with different types of sleepers:

Mattress Firmness and Sleeping Styles

1. Back Sleepers

Back sleepers benefit from the medium-firm feel, as it provides enough support to keep your spine aligned while offering a slight contour for comfort. The Awara mattress’s combination of Dunlop latex and premium coils helps relieve pressure on the lower back, making it a solid choice for back sleepers looking for a supportive, yet comfortable night’s rest.

2. Side Sleepers

Side sleepers typically need a mattress that offers some cushioning to relieve pressure on the shoulders and hips, while still providing support. While the Awara mattress provides excellent pressure relief due to its natural latex and New Zealand wool layers, some side sleepers may find it a touch too firm if they prefer a softer, more plush feel. However, the mattress does provide adequate contouring for most side sleepers, supporting good spinal alignment.

3. Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers often require a firmer surface to prevent their hips from sinking too deeply into the mattress, which can cause misalignment of the spine. The medium-firm firmness of the Awara mattress makes it a great option for stomach sleepers, as it offers the support needed to maintain healthy spinal positioning throughout the night.

4. Combination Sleepers

If you switch positions throughout the night, the Awara Premier mattress is a great fit due to its balanced firmness. The medium-firm feel offers both comfort and support, adapting well to different sleep positions, whether you’re on your back, side, or stomach.

Ideal Firmness Setting for Couples

Couples who share a bed benefit from the motion isolation provided by the individually wrapped coils, minimizing disruptions from each other’s movements. The medium-firm firmness is often ideal for couples, as it offers a supportive surface without feeling too hard or too soft.

Firmness and Pressure Relief

One of the standout features of the Awara Premier mattress is its ability to provide pressure relief. The 4 inches of Dunlop latex contour to your body’s shape, helping alleviate pressure points on the shoulders, hips, and lower back. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from back pain or joint discomfort.

Is It Right for You?

Ultimately, mattress firmness is subjective and depends on personal preference. If you’re someone who prefers a mattress that’s not too hard but still offers excellent support, the medium-firm feel could be an ideal choice. However, if you prefer something softer or more plush it might be worth exploring other options with a softer feel.

Material & Construction

Q1. What are the unique technology, design, and materials used in the construction of the Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress?

Hybrid Mattress incorporates a combination of eco-friendly technologies, natural materials, and a thoughtful design to offer an unparalleled sleep experience.

Let’s break down the construction and materials used in each layer.

Layer 1: Plush Euro Top with Organic New Zealand Wool

This top layer is made from 100% organic New Zealand wool that is soft and naturally breathable. The plush Euro top is covered in smooth organic cotton, providing a silky-smooth surface that helps regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool and dry throughout the night. This layer ensures a cozy sleep environment with added comfort while enhancing the mattress’s breathability.

Layer 2: Breathable Natural Dunlop Latex

Beneath the plush top lies 4 inches of FSC-certified organic Dunlop latex, sourced from real rubber trees. This layer provides superior pressure relief, contouring to your body’s curves and supporting key pressure points like your shoulders, hips, and legs.

Dunlop latex is also highly durable and naturally breathable, promoting cooler sleep by allowing air to circulate. Unlike other latex types, Dunlop latex is less processed, making it more environmentally friendly and long-lasting.

Layer 3: Premium Coil Support Core

You experience robust support due to its 8-inch individually wrapped coils. These coils are designed to offer targeted support to different areas of your body, ensuring that your spine is well-aligned throughout the night.

The coil system also significantly improves the mattress’s breathability and motion isolation, which reduces the disturbance caused by a partner’s movements. This helps you sleep soundly without being affected by motion transfer.

Layer 4: Easy-Move Base with Reinforced Handles

The final layer is the supportive base layer, covered by a beautiful cotton blend cover. This base layer is designed to add structural integrity to the mattress.

The 4 reinforced handles make it easy to move the mattress, while the sturdy base ensures that the entire mattress maintains its shape and durability over time.

Unique Technologies & Materials

• Eco-Friendly Materials: Awara uses only natural and organic materials like organic cotton, Dunlop latex, and New Zealand wool, making it a great choice for eco-conscious consumers.
• No Harmful Chemicals: The mattress is free from toxic flame retardants, formaldehyde, phthalates, and other harmful substances, ensuring a safe sleeping environment.
• Rainforest Alliance Certified Dunlop Latex: This latex is sustainably sourced and provides both pressure relief and temperature regulation.
• Premium Individually Wrapped Coils: These coils provide superior support, motion isolation, and airflow for a restful sleep.
• Non-Toxic & Natural Adhesives: Awara uses natural, water-based adhesives, as opposed to chemical-based adhesives used in other mattresses.

Rating

Repositioning

Q1. How would you rate Awara’s Premier Natural Luxury Mattress from a repositioning & responsiveness perspective? 

Repositioning & Responsiveness

Let’s first break down what repositioning and responsiveness mean:

• Repositioning – This refers to how easily you can move around on the mattress. If you like to switch sleeping positions often, a mattress with good repositioning makes this effortless.
• Responsiveness – It is how well the mattress reacts to your body movements. A responsive mattress quickly adjusts to your position, providing support and comfort without feeling sluggish.

Repositioning

Awara Premier Natural Luxury Mattress makes repositioning smooth and effortless. It’s due to its medium-firm feel and natural Dunlop latex layer, the surface has a slight bounce, preventing that “stuck-in-the-bed” feeling you might experience with memory foam.

• If you’re someone who tosses and turns during the night or changes positions frequently, this mattress supports movement without resistance.
• The 8-inch coil system beneath the latex adds to the bounce, ensuring mobility while keeping the mattress stable.

Responsiveness

The responsiveness of this mattress is exceptional due to its hybrid design.

• The natural Dunlop latex layer adjusts quickly to your body’s movements, providing consistent support and comfort as you change positions.
• The individually wrapped coils enhance responsiveness further by offering targeted support to key pressure points like your shoulders, hips, and back.

• This combination of latex and coils ensures that the mattress feels responsive, but not overly firm or bouncy.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Q2. How would you rate Awara Premier Natural Luxury Mattress for providing comfort and pressure relief to sleepers? 

Comfort & Pressure Relief

Comfort

Premier Natural Luxury Mattress exhibits a combination of natural materials and thoughtful design. Let me break it down.

• Plush Euro Top: The topmost layer, crafted with smooth organic cotton and 100% organic New Zealand wool, provides a luxuriously soft surface. It feels cozy without trapping heat, making it ideal for all seasons.
• Natural Dunlop Latex: The 4-inch layer of Rainforest Alliance-certified Dunlop latex offers a balanced mix of softness and support, gently cradling your body without sinking.

The medium-firm feel (6.5 firmness) caters to a wide range of sleepers, ensuring a supportive yet cushioned sleep experience.

Pressure Relief

The mattress’s hybrid design does a good job of relieving pressure, especially for side and back sleepers.

• Dunlop Latex Layer: This adaptive layer conforms to your body’s natural curves, alleviating tension in key areas like shoulders, hips, and lower back.
• 8-inch Coil Support Core: The individually wrapped coils provide targeted support, reducing pressure buildup and promoting proper spinal alignment.
• Motion Isolation: While not memory foam, the combination of latex and coils minimizes disruptions, making it a good choice for couples.

Who Benefits Most?

• Side Sleepers: The latex contours nicely around the shoulders and hips, reducing discomfort in these pressure-prone zones.
• Back Sleepers: The mattress ensures proper spinal alignment by supporting the lower back without being too firm.
• Combination Sleepers: The medium-firm feel and responsive design make it easy to switch positions without disturbing pressure points.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Q3. How would you rate the cooling and overall temperature control characteristics of Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress?

Cooling & Temperature Control

Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress provides efficient cooling and temperature control. I’d appreciate the mattress’s thoughtful use of breathable, natural materials and innovative design.

Here’s my breakdown:

Cooling

• The topmost plush Euro layer combines organic cotton and 100% organic New Zealand wool, both known for their exceptional moisture-wicking and breathability properties. These materials work together to prevent heat retention, keeping you cool and dry throughout the night.
• The 4-inch Dunlop latex layer is naturally breathable and promotes airflow within the mattress. Unlike memory foam, which tends to trap heat, Dunlop latex has an open-cell structure that helps dissipate body heat effectively.
• The 8-inch individually wrapped coils in the support core further enhance cooling by enabling continuous airflow within the mattress structure.

This mattress’s cooling abilities make it ideal for hot sleepers or those who live in warmer climates.

Temperature Regulation

• The combination of breathable latex, wool, and cotton ensures a balanced sleep climate. Whether it’s a cold winter night or a hot summer evening, the Awara Premier mattress adapts to your body’s needs, offering consistent comfort throughout the year.
• Natural New Zealand wool acts as a natural insulator, helping to regulate body temperature. It keeps you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot, offering a truly harmonious sleeping environment.
• The motion-isolating coil system also helps maintain consistent temperature control by allowing air circulation across the mattress.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Q4. Does Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid mattresses provide reasonable motion isolation when sharing a bed with others?

Motion Isolation

Yes, Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress offers reasonable motion isolation. This makes it a reliable choice for couples or anyone sharing a bed.

Why It Works Well for Motion Isolation?

Individually Wrapped Coils

• The 8-inch coil support core features individually wrapped coils that isolate motion effectively.
• When your partner moves or tosses and turns, the motion is absorbed by the coils nearest to them, preventing it from rippling across the bed.

Natural Latex Layer

• The 4-inch Dunlop latex layer is slightly bouncier than memory foam but still absorbs shock efficiently.
• It reduces the impact of sudden movements while maintaining responsiveness.

Plush Euro Top

• The soft, cushioned top layer minimizes any vibrations from movement, adding an extra layer of motion dampening.

What to Expect?

While latex mattresses typically have a touch of bounce compared to memory foam, the Awara’s hybrid design balances this well.

You might notice slight movements if your partner is very restless, but the individually wrapped coils and latex layer work together to reduce disruptions significantly.

Edge Support

Q5. How would you rate the edge support of Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid mattresses?

Edge Support

Awara’s Premier Natural mattress is a dependable choice for those who tend to sleep or sit near the edges of their bed.

Why It Stands Out for Edge Support

• Premium Coil Support Core: 8-inch individually wrapped coils extend uniformly to the edges, providing consistent support across the mattress surface.
  This ensures that you feel stable and secure, even when sitting or lying near the edges.
• Natural Latex Layer: The durable 4-inch Dunlop latex layer complements the coils by evenly distributing pressure and preventing sagging over time.
• Reinforced Perimeter Design: Mattress construction specifically reinforces edge stability, allowing it to hold up better compared to all-foam mattresses.

Benefits of Strong Edge Support

• Increased Usable Space: You can comfortably use the entire surface of the mattress without feeling like you’ll roll off.
• Enhanced Durability: Strong edge support helps maintain the mattress’s structure over time, especially if you frequently sit on the edges.
• Great for Couples: If you share your bed, you’ll appreciate the extra room, as both partners can utilize the mattress fully without feeling confined to the center.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Awara Premier Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress is designed to accommodate a wide range of sleeping styles due to its medium-firm feel (rated at 6.5 on the firmness scale) and thoughtful construction.

It strikes a balance between support and comfort, making it a versatile choice for back, stomach, and side sleepers.

According to research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), medium-firm mattresses are considered ideal for most sleepers, as they promote spinal alignment and reduce discomfort in the back and shoulders.

Let’s explore how this mattress supports different sleeping positions.

For Back Sleepers

• The mattress’s individually wrapped coils and natural Dunlop latex layer provide excellent lumbar support and keep the spine in a neutral position.
• The medium firmness ensures that back sleepers experience pressure relief without sinking too deeply.

My Recommendation: A fantastic choice for back sleepers seeking support and comfort.

For Side Sleepers

• Side sleepers often require extra cushioning for pressure points like the shoulders and hips.
• The 4-inch natural latex layer contours gently to these areas, while the plush Euro top ensures softness without compromising support.

What I Suggest: Ideal for side sleepers who need a balance of contouring and firmness.

For Stomach Sleepers

• Stomach sleepers benefit from the mattress’s firm core support, which prevents the midsection from sinking excessively.
• The medium-firm feel provides the stability needed to maintain proper spinal alignment, reducing the risk of back strain.

My Suggestion: A great option for stomach sleepers who prefer a supportive yet comfortable surface.

My Recommendations

What I find truly sets Awara Premier apart from its classic Natural Luxury mattress is its commitment to providing a natural, cool, and supportive sleep experience. It’s not just a mattress—it’s a well-thought-out investment in comfort and health.

It’s not only safe but also a healthy choice for you and your family. Whether it’s the natural latex, organic wool, or eco-friendly certifications, every element is selected with your well-being in mind.

So, if cooling, back support, pressure relief, and sustainability are on your checklist, this mattress checks all the boxes and is well worth considering.

If Awara Premier doesn’t perfectly align with your preferences, don’t worry! Everyone’s sleep needs are unique, and we’re here to help you find the ideal fit.
