Who Is the Cocoon Chill Mattress Ideal For?

Sealy mattress company is a leading mattress brand, and its Cocoon Chill line is one of its boxed mattresses that ships directly to your home. In this Cocoon Chill mattress review, we’ll focus on the all-foam option, which sports a balanced construction that relieves pressure and offers great support to sleepers. Based on our findings, the Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress is ideal for: 

  • Sleepers who prefer a firm mattress
     
  • Back and stomach sleepers, regardless of their weight
     
  • Side sleepers weighing more than 150 lbs 
     
  • Hot sleepers
     
  • Shoppers looking for a budget mattress

Cocoon Mattress Firmness

All Cocoon Mattresses by Sealy now come in one firmness option–the medium feel. The brand used to offer its mattresses in two options: a medium soft feel and an extra firm mattress. However, through Cocoon mattress reviews, they found that most sleepers preferred a mattress that was fully supportive but not too firm. So, they adjusted their products to create a mattress with a soft medium feel that falls around a 6.5/7 on the firmness scale of 1-10.
 
Most customer reviews claim that the Cocoon Chill Memory foam mattress is a bit firmer than a 6 and falls more around a 7, which is a bit firmer than the industry average. Based on these takes, we’d recommend this mattress for back and stomach sleepers and side sleepers weighing above 150 lbs.

Performance

When buying a mattress, one of the things you look out for is if the product’s features and quality match the price. In this section of our Cocoon mattress review, we’ll break down all the key features that make a mattress “good.” 

We will take an in-depth look at the performance of features like motion transfer, edge support, cooling, and more. Keep reading to find out why we think the Cocoon Chill deserves a place on our list of best mattresses.

Cocoon Cooling Mattress

Memory foam mattresses weren’t well known for being “cooling” mattresses. But that has changed with today’s advancements in mattress cooling technologies. In fact, the Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress has some of the best cooling features in the industry today.

That’s thanks to Sealy’s targeted effort to address this issue with its mattress cover. This part of the mattress is made from a phase-change material specifically designed to wick heat away from the body. Plus, the comfort layer is made from memory foam. So, it doesn’t contour as much as other foams, which allows more airflow between the surface of the mattress and your body.

Cocoon Mattress for Back Pain

The Cocoon mattress offers a perfect balance of pressure relief and firmness, making it an excellent mattress for side, back and stomach sleepers. Memory foam generally does a good job of evenly spreading the sleepers across the whole body, which is particularly important for people who need support in sensitive areas.
 
The Cocoon Chill’s layers include a comfort layer that hugs the body and offers pressure relief. The second and third layers are designed to support the spine's natural curve, which is why it's a great mattress for side sleepers. It's important to note that the Cocoon Chill is a firmer mattress, so it’s also supportive enough for stomach and back sleepers.

Cocoon Motion Transfer

If you are looking for a mattress that handles motion transfer well, then a memory foam mattress is the way to go. All foam mattresses are great at absorbing movement because they don’t have the responsiveness of coils within their layers. The Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress significantly reduces movement and vibrations thanks to its foam construction, which hugs your body’s movement.

Cocoon Edge Support

Most people have difficulty getting in and out of bed mattresses without good edge support. This feature depends on the materials and construction used in the mattress's design. However, foam mattresses aren’t known for having a super durable perimeter. So, sleepers who like the feel of a big bed with a durable perimeter should consider a hybrid or an innerspring mattress.

Cocoon Mattress & Sex

The Cocoon mattress’s memory foam construction makes it virtually silent, so it's a decent mattress for sex. A good mattress for sex often has responsiveness, bounce, cooling, and edge support. Since it’s a memory foam mattress, the Cocoon isn’t great when it comes to responsiveness and bounce. However, compared to other memory foam mattresses, the Cocoon Chill has enough cooling features and traction to make sex on it an enjoyable experience.

Cocoon Off Gassing

Like all foam mattresses, the Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress emits an odor after being unpacked from its box. This odor is not considered harmful and should dissipate after 24-72 hours.

Sleeping Positions

Cocoon Mattress for Side Sleepers

Side sleepers often prefer a mattress that balances soft contouring comfort and a durable surface. Such mattresses support sensitive areas like the hips and shoulders, which absorb the most pressure when sleeping on their side. 
 
The Cocoon Chill is firmer than an average “medium,” so it does both. Cocoon mattress reviews say that overall, the mattress is not too soft and not too firm—it’s just right in between. The mattress is designed to mold to the side sleeper's body while providing enough support to the hips and shoulders and spreading their weight evenly across the mattress. 

However, due to its “firmer” feel, the Cocoon Chill mattress is best suited to side sleepers above 130 lbs. If you are below that weight, the mattress might be too hard for you.

Cocoon Mattress for Back Sleepers

Back sleepers often prefer a firmer mattress that supports the key impact areas on their mattress, like their lower back and hips. The Cocoon Chill, which falls at around a 6/7 on the firmness scale, offers enough support for back sleepers who want to feel like they’re sleeping on top of the mattress.

The best mattress will support the hips up to the shoulders without sinking too much into the mattress. However, this often depends on the weight of the sleeper. That said, with the Cocoon Chill, most back sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 lbs will enjoy this mattress. However, if you have a heavier body weight than 230 lbs, you might want to look for an even firmer mattress for better support.

Cocoon Mattress for Stomach Sleepers
Of all the types of sleepers, stomach sleepers often find it the hardest to find the right mattress. And that’s because they’ll need extra support for their spine while also needing enough give that offers comfort for their midsection. As a stomach sleeper, ensure that the mattress you choose has the right blend of softness and hardness so as not to strain your lower back. With the Cocoon Chill mattress, you will get a mattress that provides a good balance of softness and hardness across all weight groups.

The Sealy brand is known for its quality bedroom products, and this has been translated nicely into the new Cocoon Chill mattress.

  • Great motion isolation
  • Affordable price & financing
Cons

Common Questions (FAQ)

The Sealy mattress company has been in the mattress business since 1881. It offers a wide range of quality mattress lines, including the Cocoon Chill, one of its bed-in-a-box brands.

The Cocoon Chill is available as a hybrid or an all-foam mattress, but we covered the all-foam option. Regarding price, quality, and features, this is an affordable mattress for sleepers looking for a budget mattress.

For side sleepers who weigh more than 130 lbs, the Cocoon Chill mattress is a good option because it evenly distributes a sleeper’s weight across the mattress. Its memory foam layer contours to your body, while the transition layer allows you to rest comfortably on top of the mattress without too much sinkage. Thanks to its construction and features, the Cocoon Chill provides adequate support for sleepers who want significant support on their hips and shoulders.

The Cocoon Chill mattress is not designed for flipping. That’s because, in its construction, the comfort layer is at the top while the supportive layers are at the bottom. However, you can rotate the mattress every 3-6 months to promote even wear on each side of the mattress.
The Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress falls on the firmer side of the scale. This makes it a good option for heavy sleepers who sleep on their stomachs or backs. That said, side sleepers who weigh over 230 lbs might prefer a mattress that gives a little bit more give. Based on some complaints from heavy sleepers about Cocoon mattresses, its cooling features may not be cool enough.
