What our reviewers found
Listen to the review on our podcast
We previously looked at the Ortho model of this mattress which had a firmer feel that was more ideally suited toward back and stomach sleepers who were looking for a bit more support. Today however, we're looking at the O.G, the original Mlily Bamboo+ Superb Memory 2500 Pocket Mattress. For those caught unawares on the manufacturer, don't fear. Mlily has a fantastic reputation in the industry and have been around for a considerable length of time offering great value products with fair pricing that have a focus toward bamboo charcoal memory foam as a top layer. Here's what makes it great and what we like and dislike about it.
Starting with that all important support layer at the bottom of the mattress and we're off to a great start. Pocket springs in the base just work better than other support structures, with their ability to contour while having resistive springs that all stay neatly in place, you too can benefit from perfectly supported muscles while responding to each movement.
On the subject of responding to each movement, that comfort layer. Luxurious and deep Bamboo Charcoal Memory Foam is great quality and responds much like other manufacturers memory foam. The uniqueness of Mlily and their bamboo foam isn't really in the way it feels in the moment, rather, the way the foam goes against the grain of other memory foam types by keeping you adequately temperature regulated. Not too hot, nor too cold, that's the real value proposition in bamboo charcoal and one that should be a huge consideration over other materials and product options. It genuinely does work really well. Temperature barely comes up in the reviews, mind. One owner wrote that it's "cool and comfy". Others found it warm: one said it "Holds onto body heat" and bought a wool topper.
The reviews back the comfort up more than anything else. Quite a few owners say it helped a bad back: one wrote "Since my purchase my back dosnt hurt me", another that it "has been a god send in allowing me to at least get a decent nights sleep". Quality for the money comes up too, with one owner calling it "very affordable and high quality". Where they disagree is the firmness. Some found the medium firmer than they expected ("Good quality but way too firm for a medium firmness mattress"), others found it softer ("Nowhere near as firm as I was expecting"), and one wouldn't recommend it for back sleepers because "it's too soft and it just feels like you're sinking". Side sleepers fare better in the reviews, with one saying it "supports all of my body properly as a side sleeper". It arrives rolled. One owner found that "within a few hours it had flattened and plumped up nicely". Several owners also wished it had handles, because it is heavy to turn.
