Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam Mattress Review

• The Good
• The Bad

The Competition

The Loom and Leaf mattress is a fair competition for the Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress. Both are made exclusively of foam materials, one of which is memory foam that has been infused with cooling gel. However, the Loom and Leaf mattress contains four separate layers, while the Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress contains three; but, the Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress is 13 inches thick, while Loom and Leaf is only 12 inches thick.

The Arctic Dreams Cooling Gel mattress from Dream Foam is also a fair competition for the Swiss Ortho Sleep Gel Memory Foam mattress. Both mattresses are made of three separate layers, one of which includes a layer of gel infused memory foam. The Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress is 13 inches thick, while the Dream Foam Arctic Dreams mattress is just 10 inches thick.

What’s It Made From…

The Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress from Swiss Ortho Sleep is comprised of three separate layers of high quality foam materials, which include cooling gel infused memory foam, high density foam and comfort foam. Combined together, these layers create a mattress that is a total of 10 inches thick.

Here’s a more detailed look at the construction of this mattress…

The Top Layer

On the top of the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress is 2 inch layer of cooling gel infused memory foam. This is the layer of the mattress that provides it with softness and pressure point relief, and it also helps to keep the sleeping surface cool. The gel memory foam is highly responsive and conforms to the unique shape of the body, creating a hugging feeling and reducing the strain that is placed on the body while sleeping. This helps to provide pressure point relief, as it prevents the buildup of pressure – and pain – on key areas that often develop pain while sleeping (the neck, the shoulders and the back.) The infusion of cooling gel memory foam pulls body heat away from the sleeper and absorbs the heat, which helps to keep the surface of the mattress cool and comfortable throughout the night.

The Middle Layer

In the middle of the Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress from Swiss Ortho Sleep is a 2 inch layer of heavy high density foam. This is the layer of the mattress that provides exceptional support. The high density foam offers deep compression support and helps to keep the spine in proper alignment in all sleep positions. It also evenly distributes weight throughout the mattress, which makes for a less painful and more comfortable night of sleep. Additionally, the super high density memory foam transitions the body from the top layer of memory foam to the bottom layer of comfort foam.

The Bottom Layer

On the bottom of the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress is a 9 inch layer of comfort foam. This layer serves as the foundation for the mattress, supporting the middle and top layers and helping the mattress retain its shape. It also provides additional deep compression support and pressure point relief, further improving the comfort that the mattress delivers.

Surrounding the three layers of the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress is a cover that is made of a polyester, cotton and bamboo. The cotton and the bamboo both provide breathability for the mattress, preventing heat retention and helping to keep the surface cool throughout the night. The polyester and the bamboo make the cover extremely durable. When we pulled on the cover, it quickly bounced back to its original position without an issue. Additionally, the cover features a zipper, which makes it extremely easy to remove and put back on. It is also machine washable, so you can toss it into the washing machine when you want to freshen the mattress up.

Hands on Review

As we mentioned above, the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress is only available to purchase online. This does make the mattress significantly lower in price, especially when compared to other mattresses of a similar caliper, and reduces the stress that buyers often feel when they are shopping for a mattress in a retail store. However, on the downside, you can’t try the mattress out before you buy it, so it can be hard to tell if it is the right choice for you.

We have tested this Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress out and have thoroughly assessed the key elements that impact the overall quality and comfort that it delivers, and we share our findings in this hands on review portion of our guide. The elements we assessed include:

• Firmness
• Comfort
• Pain Relief & Support
• Heat Retention
• Off Gassing
• Intimacy

Firmness

On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest, we give the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress a score of 5.5. It is just slightly firmer than a neutral mattress and should appeal to sleepers who are looking for a mattress that isn’t too soft, yet isn’t too hard.

Comfort

We found the Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress from Swiss Ortho Sleep to be very comfortable. The top layer of memory foam quickly responded to the body, creating a hugging feeling that was comfortable, yet not too overbearing; in other words, we didn’t feel like we were trapped in the mattress. The high density foam created a nice amount of pushback for the mattress, which certainly added to the comfort of the mattress, as it helped to prevent that sinking or trapped feeling that is often associated with memory foam. The super soft foam on the bottom of the mattress also added an extra layer of softness to the mattress, which upped the comfort factor.

The foam materials of the Swiss Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress helped to limit motion transfer. This means that if you are sharing the mattress with someone else, you won’t be disturbed by the movements that they make while sleeping, as you won’t feel that movement. This also increased the comfort of the mattress.

Pain Relief and Support

The Swiss Ortho mattress also offers great support. The memory foam conforms to the unique contours of the body, which helps to reduce strain and reduces pain. The high density foam delivers deep compression support and keeps the spine in proper alignment, thereby further reducing pain while sleeping. The mattress also evenly distributes weight, so you don’t have to worry about pressure building up on the body, which can lead to pain while sleeping.

Heat Retention

Foam mattresses are notorious for heating up while sleeping. The foam traps body heat, which then heats up the surface of the mattress and can lead to overheating. When this happens, it can make you wake up in a pool of sweat and lead to an uncomfortable night of sleep. The infusion of cooling gel in the top layer of memory foam absorbs body heat and the bamboo and cotton cover is extremely breathable, which helps to keep the Swiss Ortho Sleep mattress consistently cool throughout the night, so there is no overheating. We didn’t experience any heat retention while sleeping and remained nice and comfortable.

Off Gassing

Off gassing is another issue that is often experienced with foam mattresses. There are certain chemicals that are used during the production of the foam, and those chemicals often have an odor. As a result, that odor can come out of the mattress. With the Ortho Sleep Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress, we did notice that there was a slight odor when we first opened it. We simply set it up and placed it in a room with the windows opened and the smell dissipated in just a few hours. We recommend you do the same if you notice any odor when you receive your mattress.

Intimacy

The Bamboo Gel Memory Foam mattress from Ortho Sleep did a great job of limiting motion transfer, which certainly adds to the comfort of the mattress; however, this does mean that there is limited bounce. As a result, you may find that you will have to put in a little extra effort when it comes to intimate activities, as there is limited bounce.
