With a range of all these features coupled into the Starling Signature mattress, it’s no surprise that you’ll experience a new level of restorative sleep.

I’ve detailed on all these features below. Let’s get started.

Q1. What is unique about Nest Bedding Starling Mattress? Does it provide superior cooling, comfort, back support, and pressure relief?

Cooling

Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature mattress exhibits cooling properties. It features a THERMIC® Phase Change Cooling cover and this when paired with its Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam actively regulates temperature. If you sleep warm this mattress helps by dissipating heat away from your body and promoting airflow so that you sleep cool. Even during warmer climate or summer days, Starling provides a refreshing sleep experience.

Comfort

Comfort stays at the forefront of every users shopping experience. Likely to say Starling does fairly well in comfort. It has a dual-feel design allowing you to flip the top foam layers so that you customize your sleeping experience.

With its plush Slow Response Memory Foam layer (Titanium and Graphite-Infused) it aids in relieving all the pressure points of your body soothing tired muscles and promoting deep relaxation.

Back Support

If you are experiencing recurring back pain then your chiropractor may recommend a mattress that provides back support. Starling Signature exhibits Contour Grid Technology that helps to contour your body’s curves naturally. How does this help? It targets all the pressure zones in your body and keeps your spine aligned.

This feature benefits back sleepers and those with back ache, to sleep with proper spinal alignment throughout the night. Thus, you don’t wake up with a sore back in the morning. Further it has high-resilience foam layers that aid in promoting a healthy sleeping posture.

Pressure Relief

As discussed earlier Starling Signature’s Titanium and Graphite-Infused Slow Response Memory foam creates a plush yet supportive feel to relieve pressure points near your shoulders and hips. This improves blood circulation in your body reducing the risk of waking up with aches and soreness. Additionally, this mattress has reduced motion transfer which further enhances its pressure-relieving benefits.

Whether you prioritize sleeping cool or wish to experience personalized comfort, spinal alignment, or relief from pressure pain, Starling meets these expectations and enhances your overall sleep quality.

Q2. How firm is Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

Firmness helps you determine how comfortable you would feel while lying on a mattress. If you have prominent back pain and the mattress is too firm, it may increase your discomfort or soreness as it may not be plush enough to cradle your pressure zones. Contrastingly, if you are a stomach sleeper with back pain, you may need a firmer mattress model, to deliver sufficient support to your hips and lower back.  So, ‘firmness’ is an important factor to consider before buying a new mattress.

Starling Signature Contour Grid falls within the medium firmness range. Its firmness typically ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 on the industrial mattress firmness scale. Medium level of firmness is ideal for a range of sleepers. It offers a balanced feel for those who prefer a slightly plush feel with enough support for pressure relief and spinal alignment. So irrespective of whether you’re a back sleeper, side sleeper, or combination sleeper, Starling mattress provides a balanced firmness to ensure you enjoy supportive sleep.

Q3. How Thick Is Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress boasts a thickness of 12.5 inches. Its substantial thickness creates a luxurious feel and adds robustness to its design to increase mattress durability. If you prefer thicker mattresses, you may favour the cushioning or extra support that Starling mattress provides.

Q4. Is Nest Bedding Starling Mattress Safe?

Yes, Starling Signature Contour Grid is manufactured and designed to deliver a chemical-free and healthy sleep environment for your children and pets to sleep comfortably.

I’ve jotted down the contributing factors.

• CertiPUR-US® Certified Foams: Starling is an all-foam mattress made with CertiPUR-US® foams. These foams are low in harmful chemicals and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. Through this certification Nest Bedding ensures that the materials used in the mattress manufacturing process meet stringent safety standards.
• Non-Chemical Fire Barrier: Its fire barrier is made of non-chemical hydrogenated silica providing fire protection without harmful chemicals.
• Made in USA: All Nest Bedding mattresses are crafted in the US, following strict manufacturing standards and safety regulations to enhance quality.

Overall, Starling Signature is considered safe for use. It meets stringent US standards for safety, and quality prioritizing your health and environment sustainability.

Q5. What sizes are available for Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

Starling Contour Grid comes in a range of sizes to suit a diversity of sleeping preferences and different bed frames/bed room sizes.

I’m listing all the sizes of Starling mattress below.

1. Twin: 38″ W x 75″ L x 12.5″ H

Firmness

I’ve mentioned it before that Starling Signature exhibits a medium firmness level that caters to a broad range of sleep preferences. This means that its firmness level ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 on the industrial mattress firmness scale creating a balance between support and comfort.

What type of sleepers usually benefit from a medium mattress?

A mattress of medium firmness is particularly suitable for sleepers who like a balance between support and a bit of cushioning. I’d also recommend it for back sleepers, side sleepers, and combination sleepers. Thus this level of firmness can accommodate various sleeping styles and body type well.

Let’s not forget that Starling features a dual-feel design. This offers you the scope of customization based on your personal preferences. You just need to internally flip the top foam layers, to adjust between a slightly plush feel and a firmer sensation as per your need.

Material & Construction

Q1. What are the unique technology, design, and materials used in the construction of Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress has been designed combining unique technology, thoughtful design, and high-quality materials so that you enjoy supportive sleep experience for years to come.

So that you get a clearer picture, I’ve detailed the layers of this mattress below.

1. THERMIC® Phase Change Cooling Cover: It starts with a cooling cover on top for breathability. This top layer of THERMIC® Phase Change Cooling cover uses ‘phase change materials’ to regulate body heat so you sleep cool throughout the night.
2. Layer 1: Quilted Comfort Layer: Beneath the cooling cover is a 1.25-inch layer of Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam and plush quilting. This layer provides initial comfort, pressure relief, and responsiveness.

Rating

Repositioning

Q1. How would you rate Nest Bedding Starling Mattress from a repositioning & responsiveness perspective? 

Repositioning

What does repositioning mean?

Repositioning refers to how easily and comfortably you can change your sleeping position or move around on the mattress while you sleep. Nest Bedding Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress has an adaptive design and materials that contour your body well and align to changing sleeping positions. Additionally, Contour Grid™ technology, with its geometric design, provides support and alignment to your body’s curves and sleeping positions. This makes repositioning effortless and promotes uninterrupted sleep.

Responsiveness

How is responsiveness different from repositioning?

Responsiveness, in the context of mattresses, refers to how quickly and effectively the mattress adjusts to your movements and changes in sleeping position.

In my opinion, Starling fairs well in terms of responsiveness. It is composed of Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam and memory foam layers. Energex™ foam provides a responsive and supportive feel without leaving a lasting imprint on the mattress, ensuring that it adapts quickly to your movements. Moreover, memory foam layers infused with titanium and graphite provides contouring, allowing the mattress to respond promptly to changes in pressure and movement, when you lie on top of it.

Overall, its adaptive design, Contour Grid™ technology, and responsive foam layers contribute to easy repositioning, minimal motion transfer. Thus Starling mattress can seamlessly adjust to your movements all through the night.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Q2. How would you rate Nest Bedding Starling Mattress for providing comfort and pressure relief to sleepers? 

Comfort

Starling Signature mattress is highly regarded for its comfort levels. It caters to a wide range of sleep preferences. Additionally, the mattress’s dual-feel design allows you to customize your comfort experience by internally flipping the top foam layers to achieve your preferred level of plushness or firmness.

This versatility ensures that you can find the perfect balance of comfort and support for a restful night’s sleep. Additionally, the quilted comfort layer with Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam makes it soft and responsive, enhancing overall comfort for sleepers.

Pressure Relief

Starling mattress has a thoughtful design and is composed of quality materials. Its Contour Grid™ technology, combined with the memory foam layer infused with titanium and graphite, conforms to your body’s contours and relieves pressure points, particularly in areas like the hips, shoulders, and lower back. This targeted pressure relief promotes proper spinal alignment and reduces discomfort, making it a decent choice for sleepers who experience issues with pressure points or joint pain.

All these features ensure a supportive and restorative sleep experience.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Q3. How would you rate the cooling and overall temperature control characteristics of the Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

To begin Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress is designed to provide thermal regulation and cooling, so that a comfortable sleep temperature is maintained throughout its surface.

Cooling

Starling mattress has cooling features due to its innovative THERMIC® Phase Change Cooling cover and Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam. While the cover utilizes phase change materials to actively absorb and release heat, the quilted comfort layer with Energex™ Temperature Responsive Foam promotes airflow and prevents heat build-up.

This helps to regulate your body temperature keeping you cool and comfortable, even during warmer nights or if you tend to sleep warm.

Temperature Control

By preventing the build-up on the mattress surface Starling aids in temperature control providing an optimal sleep environment. The combination of its THERMIC® Phase Change Cooling Cover, the quilted comfort layer, and Contour Grid™ technology promotes airflow and heat dissipation.

Not to forget its transition layer with titanium and graphite-infused memory foam helps maintain a consistent temperature on mattress surface throughout the night.

This ensures you experience a cool sleep environment, reducing disruptions caused by temperature fluctuations.

Overall, how would I rate Starling in terms of cooling and temperature control?

Taking in consideration the materials and design of this mattress, I would say that it effectively addresses common concerns related to heat. It does fairly well in providing you a cool and comfortable sleep surface for a restful night’s sleep.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Q4. Does Nest Bedding Starling Mattress provide reasonable motion isolation when sharing a bed with others?

Motion Isolation

Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature mattress delivers motion isolation, making it good choice for couples or if you have children or pets sleeping with you. Motion isolation reflects this mattress’s ability to absorb and minimize the transfer of motion across its sleep surface.

The presence of its Contour Grid™ technology and responsive foam layers helps Starling to absorb movements and prevents motion transfer across the mattress, reducing sleep disruptions caused by partner movements during sleep.

You can now enjoy uninterrupted rest, even if your partner tosses and turns throughout the night.

Motion Transfer

Similarly, Starling mattress boasts minimal motion transfer, further enhancing its suitability for shared sleeping spaces. Motion transfer refers to the degree to which movements on one side of the mattress get transferred the other side.

 Starling mattress’s responsive foam layers, including Energex™ Temperature Responsive foam and memory foam infused with titanium and graphite, work together to minimize motion transfer. Thus when you get in and out of bed or change sleeping positions, your movements hardly disturb your partner or child as the movements are isolated to specific areas of the mattress.

Edge Support

Q5. How would you rate the edge support of Nest Bedding Starling Mattress?

Edge Support

While some foam mattresses may exhibit slight compression along the edges, Starling mattress delivers adequate edge support, allowing you to utilize the full surface area of the mattress without feeling unsupported near the perimeter.

I would personally rate the edge support of Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress as above average. The mattress provides a stable and supportive perimeter that prevents roll-offs and increases the sleeping surface.

Featuring a robust construction, it has a high-density base foam layer and a transition layer designed to maintain structural integrity across the entire surface, including the edges. This design ensures the edges remain firm and supportive. Further it reduces sagging or sinkage even if you sit/sleep near the edges.

This will particularly benefit you if you sit or sleep near the edge of the bed and prefer consistent support throughout.

Overall, Nest Bedding Starling Signature Contour Grid Mattress offers commendable edge support, providing a secure and stable surface for sleeping or sitting, enhancing the overall durability and usability of the mattress.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Finally I am about to explain how well Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature mattress caters to different sleeping positions.

Side Sleepers

Now, side sleepers prefer sleeping on their side, with their body weight primarily resting on their shoulder and hip.

If you are one, it’s crucial to choose a mattress which delivers adequate pressure relief and support to prevent discomfort and promote spinal alignment.

So, irrespective of your body weight, Starling mattress can be a fair enough choice for side sleepers due to its Contour Grid™ technology and memory foam layers. Contour Grid™ adapts to your body’s natural curves, reducing pressure points on your shoulders and hips. Its memory foam layers further cushion your pressure zones to ensure comfortable sleep preventing you from waking up with aches or soreness.

Back Sleepers

People who prefer sleeping on their back need a mattress which can evenly distribute your body weight all across the mattress.

Thus for back sleepers, it’s essential you sleep on a mattress that provides sufficient support to maintain proper spinal alignment. Starling mattress is well-suited for back sleepers due to its medium firmness level and responsive foam layers.

Its Contour Grid™ technology supports natural curvature of your spine, while responsive foams prevent excessive sinking. This helps to keep your back properly supported throughout the night.

However, heavy weight sleepers, weighing more than 230 pounds may prefer a firmer mattress to evenly support the body’s weight and reduce risk of back pain or discomfort.

Stomach Sleepers

If you are a stomach sleeper you would usually prefer sleeping on your stomach, with your body weight concentrated mainly on the abdomen region. Thus for you, as for all other stomach sleepers, it’s crucial to have a mattress that provides firm support to prevent the lower back from sinking too deeply into the mattress, which can strain the spine.

Starling mattress offers suitable support for stomach sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds. Its medium firmness provides enough support to keep their spine aligned, while the high-density foam layer prevents excessive sinking, promoting a healthy sleep position for stomach sleepers.

In essence, Nest Bedding’s Starling Signature Contour Grid mattress caters well to side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers by providing tailored support and comfort to each sleeping position.
