NM® Essential Hybrid 12″ Mattress
A medium (6/10) hybrid that stacks a deep 5″ gel-foam comfort profile over a core of individually pocketed coils, standing 12″ (30.5 cm) tall. The taller build leaves more cooling foam between you and the springs, so back and side sleepers get a softer first feel without giving up balanced support. Made in the USA, with a 365-night sleep trial.
Key Features
5″ of gel comfort foam
Two gel-foam layers, 3″ over 2″, give the 12″ profile its deeper, softer cradle.
Individually pocketed coils
Individually wrapped springs that flex point by point and isolate movement.
Liquid Gel CoolFlex™ layer
A gel-infused foam tuned to draw heat away as it cushions.
Foam-encased coil core
A foam wall rings the springs for a steadier edge and a usable full surface.
CertiPUR-US certified foams
Fiberglass-free, and ready for any adjustable base.
Benefits
A softer landing — the extra two inches of gel foam over the coils cushion the shoulders and hips before the springs take over.
Balanced, all-night support — individually pocketed coils hold the spine level whether you sleep on your back or your side.
Cooler through the night — gel-infused foams and a cooling knit cover move heat off the surface as you settle in.
Honest everyday value — a true hybrid build, made in the USA, with a 10-year warranty and a 365-night trial.
Ideal For
Back sleepers
A medium feel with coils that keep the spine aligned.
Side sleepers
Five inches of gel foam to cushion the shoulders and hips.
Value seekers
A genuine coil-and-foam hybrid built for everyday budgets.
Construction — Layer by Layer
From the cooling cover down to the coil core — here's what each layer is and what it does.
Cover
Cooling Knit Fabric Cover
A breathable knit quilted over the top for a soft first touch and airflow that helps the surface sleep cool.
Comfort Layers
3″ Gel AeroFusion® Foam
The thick top comfort layer; it contours to your shape and gives the 12″ profile its deep, plush cradle.
2″ Liquid Gel CoolFlex™ Foam
A second gel-infused layer that adds cooling and a responsive, buoyant feel beneath the top foam.
Support Layers
1″ Flex Support Base Foam
A firm foam base under the coil system that stabilizes the springs and squares off the bottom of the mattress.
Support Core
6″ Individually Pocketed Spring System with Foam Encasement (15 ga)
Individually wrapped coils ringed by a foam encasement — each spring moves on its own for targeted support and motion isolation, while the foam wall firms up the perimeter so you can use the whole bed.

It is a hybrid because it pairs a pocketed coil core with thick foam comfort layers. Underneath are individually pocketed tempered-steel coils, wrapped in foam encasement for stability and edge support. On top is a deep comfort system: a 3-inch Gel AeroFusion...
Both are medium hybrids on the same pocketed-coil support core, but the 12-inch has more on top. It adds deeper comfort foam, a 3-inch Gel AeroFusion plus a 2-inch Liquid Gel CoolFlex layer, versus the thinner layers in the 10-inch, and it uses an upgraded...
It is a medium feel, about 6 on a 10-point firmness scale, suited to both back and side sleepers. The coil core gives support and gentle bounce, while the deep 5 inches of gel comfort foam on top cushion the shoulders and hips more than a thinner build...
It is the coolest-sleeping mattress in the line. Air moves freely through the pocketed coil layer, something all-foam beds cannot do, and the comfort system layers a 2-inch Liquid Gel CoolFlex layer and gel-infused Gel AeroFusion foam under a dedicated...
The usual trade-offs of a hybrid are that it is heavier than an all-foam bed and a touch less motion-isolating than dense memory foam. This model offsets that with foam-encased coils for edge support and low-motion-transfer comfort foam, and it is positioned...
No box spring is required. This 12-inch hybrid needs a flat, supportive base such as a platform bed, a solid foundation, or closely-spaced slats. It is also rated compatible with an adjustable base and will flex at the head and foot. The foam-encased...
It includes a 365-night sleep trial, a full year to confirm the medium hybrid feel suits you, and a 10-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the coils, foam, or workmanship. With proper support and care, a quality hybrid like this gives many...
A mild new-foam scent is normal when it first expands from the box and clears within a few days in a ventilated room; the foams are CertiPUR-US certified and the mattress is fiberglass-free. It ships free across Canada compressed in a box, then expands...
