Cushioning – True memory foam mattresses like Apollo aren’t meant to be firm and unyielding. Rather, as you lie on the bed, the mattress cradles and contours to your body. This sensation immediately relaxes and releases pent-up pressure across your body. This kind of surface is ideal for anyone who sleeps on their side, especially if you are prone to developing pinching pressure points or numbness in your arms or shoulders. Second layer: 2 inches of 5G open-cell memory foam. It works with the layers above and below to reduce motion transfer. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft 3. The Apollo Mattress is a premium option that uses several unique material combinations to create a one-of-a-kind feel. This mattress uses its layers differently. First, layers of cooling foams create a surface that is cold to the touch, providing better temperature control and moving heat away from you as you sleep. The layer of transition foam in the middle of the mattress uses edge support foam to bolster the edges. Finally, two different support layers are used in this mattress. First, you’ll find a layer of micro-coils for better balance and support. Beneath this is a layer of dual-layered high-density support foam to add additional balance.

Featuring 20 'figure of 8' cells it is specially designed for users who are at a Very High Risk of developing pressure ulcers it is also suitable for those that have existing tissue damage (pressure ulcer grade 1 to 4). The static mode offers a stable surface to allow for extremely safe patient transfers and handling.Apollo is a single-firmness mattress made up of five layers of foam and steel coils. Each layer has unique qualities which combine to create the distinctive comfort and performance of the mattress: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear from use, a normal softness increase that is usually present as mattresses age, or any body indentations of less than 1″ during the first 10 years of use. If your mattress doesn’t work for you because of health concerns or comfort preferences, you should try to return it within the sleep trial period. The warranty will not cover these issues, either.

After rolling around on this bed, I decided to give it a 6/10 on the firmness scale. When compared to the industry standard of 6.5 for medium firmness, it’s clear that this bed is definitely on the softer side.

Feel & Firmness

If you share your bed with a partner and you don’t wish to disturb their sleep each time you shift around in bed (or have them disturb yours), then you couldn’t find a more peaceful mattress than Apollo. That’s no exaggeration. The engineers gave Apollo an 8.6 out of 10 rating for motion isolation. This means that Apollo is the highest rated mattress for motion isolation out of over 60 popular mattress brands tested. Rated higher than Casper. Rated higher than Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme. And rated higher than its closest competitor in design, Simba.

The mattress includes 20 cells consisting of 3 static head cells and 17 alternating cells. Individual cell's 'air on air' construction reduces the risk of 'bottoming out' as the lower section of each cell remains inflated to provide a supportive base. Lightweight Sleepers– Lightweight side sleepers should experience a nice contour around pressure points, although some may prefer an even softer bed that allows more sinkage in the hips, shoulders, and knees. Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight stomach sleepers may sink too deeply into the comfort layers, especially if they weigh closer to 230 pounds. The next layer uses open-cell memory foam to produce better airflow. Then, finally, we come to the micro-coil layer. The micro coils allow for more airflow throughout the core of the mattress, reducing any heat build-up from reaching the lowest levels of the mattress. As a result, even the deepest levels of this mattress will be cooler. These coils even help move the cooler air up to you, reducing the temperature at the surface of the mattress. Above its robust base layers, Apollo has one inch of micro-coils that extend entirely across the mattress. Because they aren’t walled off with long sections of rigid foam as they are in most other hybrid mattresses, this central layer allows for the easy passage of air. This creates a central breezeway that regulates temperature and keeps the mattress cool. The compression of the coils acting together with the four inches of premium memory foam above result in more overall compression than a more rigid mattress, resulting in a lower overall edge support rating. However, this is a natural result of the cushioning memory foam effect many sleepers absolutely love, and nothing to be off-put by.A Transport Mode facility is achieved by sealing the connector on the umbilical cord with the transport cap. The Transport Mode can be used for up to 8 hours to ensure that the support surface provides pressure redistribution in power outages or when transportation is required.

Apollo offers a 15-year warranty on each mattress. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship or manufacturing. The warranty is very particular about which types of defects are covered. Your warranty may be void if the mattress has spills, stains, cuts, or tears on the cover or the foam inside. If you use the Apollo mattress without a compatible frame, it can also void the warranty. Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight side sleepers should experience a deeper hug as the top memory foam layer allows more sinkage, especially for those closer to 230 pounds. The Apollo Mattress presents a unique construction. This mattress uses layers of coils, high-density support foam, and more to provide a unique feel that is suitable for most sleepers.
