Endy Mattress Review

Cover

Let’s begin our examination with the cover. This layer usually gives you the first overall impression, so don’t underestimate it.

Now, the Endy is encased in a thin micro-quilted cover that doesn’t have any fibre padding or pillow top. This is good because it means that the cover won’t affect the mattress feel very much.

Also, the cover is pretty soft to the touch and allows the air to pass through all the layers, which is another plus. Mattresses without coils are generally more prone to heat retention, so a breathable cover is one of the ways to ensure cooler sleep.

Finally, the Endy’s cover is washable, so if the accident happens or if you want to maintain a fresh look, you can unzip it and throw it in the washer (be sure to follow the instructions). And that’s it — no dust mites or other nasty particles near your face!

And one more thing:

You probably know that one of the ways of caring for your mattress is rotating it about every two months (1). The Endy makes it easier for you to remember the head and foot sides thanks to a contrast logo on one of the ends. Initially, when the mattress is installed, the logo is near your feet, so just switch its position regularly and your mattress will remain uniform and comfortable.

Construction

In this part of the Endy mattress review, we’ll check out the layers that make the mattress. So, what have we got here?

The Endy is a standard profile mattress and measures 10 inches high. It has three foam layers:

• Comfort layer: proprietary Endy foam. This is the brand’s own alternative to the traditional memory foam. The Endy foam has an open-cell structure, slightly higher rebound, and is temperature-neutral, according to the manufacturer. So, you can expect a good hug and pressure relief without annoying quicksand feeling and hot sleeping.
• Transition layer: a denser polyfoam. This layer works as a motion-absorbing pad between the comfort layer and the base. Plus, it also maintains the neutral spinal alignment and distributes your weight around the mattress surface.
• Base layer: high-density polyfoam. This layer is pretty common for an all-foam mattress and its goal is to enforce the positive properties of the upper layers and maintain the supportive properties of the mattress.

So, as you can see, the Endy features simple construction with a twist that comes in the form of proprietary materials and is well built as for a medium-segment mattress.

Firmness

The next important point we need to cover is firmness because it basically defines the amount of comfort you get from a given mattress.

The Endy plays the classic card here:

It’s available only in medium firmness, which is suitable for most sleeper types of average body composition.

The comfort layer of the Endy mattress is the softest, so you can count on a deep hug and pressure relief in any position. But since the lower layers are denser and more rigid, they will support your spinal alignment and prevent strains and pains from happening.

Plus, the foams used in the mattress have an open-cell structure, so they feel more spongy and bounce back to their shape pretty quickly. This can be an advantage for people who want a foam mattress but without that quicksand feeling.

Edge Support

Now, when we’ve clarified the basics of the Endy mattress, let’s actually take a look at its performance.

And the first thing to inspect is the edge support.

This parameter defines how you will feel if you decide to sleep closer to the edge, and how easy it will be to get off the bed. The main contributor to the solid edges is the base layer because it’s the densest part of the mattress that keeps the whole construction uniform.

As for Endy, it has pretty good edge support as for an all-foam mattress. The base layer creates a sturdy perimeter, so you won’t feel like the mattress will collapse under your weight if you roll closer to the side. This might be a good point for couples who love to sleep in the starfish position and take all the space.

Motion Transfer

Another important thing, especially for sensitive sleepers and those who share a bed with a partner is motion transfer. If you want your sleep to be sound, you need to make sure that no movements coming from the other side of the bed.

Fortunately, foam mattresses like the Endy, score great at motion absorption and can deliver you undisturbed sleep. Comfort and transition layers of this mattress absorb most impulses and don’t allow them to spread to your side, so no matter how active your partner is, you will make the most of your shut-eye.

How It Feels for Different Types of Sleepers

Reviewing the Endy mattress wouldn’t be full without the part where we determine how it feels for those who sleep on their back, side, or stomach based on the info we already know, plus some user ratings.

So, let’s see the results of our research:

• Side sleepers. The medium feel of the Endy paired with a responsive comfort layer offers sufficient contouring for your hips and shoulders and the transition layer does a great job at supporting the correct spinal alignment. Plus, the mattress doesn’t have pronounced sinkage, which means that you won’t feel trapped in your bed and will be able to shift through different positions freely.
• Back sleepers. Back sleeping is the sure way to keep your spine neutral (2), so all you need is a mattress that can just support it as it is. Thankfully, the Endy is a great pick for the back sleeper too. The transition layer will adapt to your pressure points and relieve the tension in the lower back, so your sleep will be painless and comfortable.
• Stomach sleepers. Stomach sleepers typically suffer from a strained lumbar area because sleeping in the frontal position puts the lower back into an awkward angle. And while the Endy can offer proper support for your tummy, it may fail to deliver it for those who have extra weight in their lower abdomen. Simply speaking, you might need a firmer mattress if you’re an overweight stomach sleeper.

How are Endy’s Materials Different from Other Memory Foam Mattresses?

Despite the fact that Endy is a mattress made completely out of foam, it can satisfy the latex and innerspring users as well. This is because of the unique properties of Endy's mattress. First of all, it is made with dense polyfoam and open-cell polyfoam. The dense part of the bed, which is the support core, basically acts as the typical memory foam you would see in other memory foam mattresses but denser. This layer provides you with the support that you need. It is not breathable, but the edge support and the back pain prevention comes from that. 

Next, we have the open-cell polyfoam, which is not used that often in cheaper mattresses. An open-cell memory foam layer acts as the bouncy and breathable layer that you would like to have. That is why unlike normal foam, an open-cell foam is more rubber-like, same as latex. This effect is created by the foam being inflated and not dense. Having this responsive layer is what makes your mattress perfect for sex and prevents you from being trapped in the heat of your average memory foam mattress.

Other Important Information

Now you know almost everything about the Endy.

However, we still have a couple of things to unpack, and this part of the Endy mattress review will answer the remaining questions right below.

Does the Endy Sleep Cool?

The combo of breathable cover, open-cell foams with high rebound and temperature-neutral materials that don’t rely on your body heat to feel comfortable makes the Endy cooler compared to the traditional memory foam mattresses. So, if you want a cradling foam bed that doesn’t sleep hot, this mattress might be your option to pick from.

Is the Endy Odour-Free?

Like most mattresses-in-a-box, the Endy might have a slight odour upon unpacking that can last up to 48 hours. At least, that’s what the manufacturer states. However, most user reviews claim that the off-gassing that comes from the mattress is slight and diminishes quickly, often in the first couple of hours.

Is the Endy Sex-Friendly?

The prominent feature of the sex-friendly mattress is its bounce, so it can work as an amplifier to your movements. This is also the thing that most memory foam mattresses lack, that’s why they’re not in favour of couples with active sex life.

However, the Endy features materials that differ from memory foam, particularly because of their structure and rigidity that makes them bouncier and more responsive. So, you can consider this mattress for your romantic activities as well. And if in doubt, try to pair it with a more bouncy bed base.

Performance Summary 

Summary

Now, let’s wrap up all the info about the Endy mattress and see who can make the most of this purchase:

• Mixed sleepers. The medium firmness of the Endy mattress is equally comfortable for any sleeping position, so if you shift between side, back, and stomach sleeping throughout the night, it can make a good pick for you. Note, though, that if you have excess weight, the firmer mattress will do you more good, so it’s more advisable to opt for models with coils.
• Those who typically sleep hot on a foam mattress. None of the materials used for making the Endy mattress is prone to heat retention. In fact, open-cell Endy foam does quite the opposite and withdraws your body heat into the air while you sleep. So if you’re tired of looking for a breathable foam mattress, stop right there and just pick the Endy.
• Couples. The Endy is an all-foam mattress, so you can expect low motion transfer from it, which is an essential thing if you share a bed with someone. Plus, a dense base contributes to the decent edge support and ensures that every extra inch of space will be at your service.
• Back pain sufferers. The deep hug and adaptive comfort layer of the Endy easily adjust to your spinal curves and relieves the tension in sensitive areas. Your lower back won’t disturb you anymore!
