Features & Benefits
Alright, on to the section that could really help you out with your decision, the features
And benefits that the Alexander Signature Select Series with a medium feel has to offer.
What Sets It Apart?
With the Alexander Signature Select, You're getting the effects of memory foam without
the harsh chemicals and off gassing period. This was one of my favorite things about the
mattress. I managed to unroll it and sleep on it the exact same night, it was great. It is also one
Of the most eco-friendly mattresses on the market while remaining affordable with these
Kinds of features. You probably aren't going to find a mattress like this anywhere else for
the price.
1 other detail that I thought was very honest of them is that they do not have one
Mattress and claim that it is the perfect one for you, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
They just believe that as the consumer, you should have a choice as to what you are
Sleeping on, and I can definitely respect that.
Construction & Composition
This mattress is made with USA and CertiPUR-US certified foams that are tested for
harmful chemicals by a 3rd party. If you did not know, mattresses must pass fire laws,
But how can a mattress pass fire laws if they do not use harmful chemicals that are
Commonly used in fire retardants? Well, this is because Nest Bedding makes their fire
Barrier with Hydrated Silica, a fabric that's made with Insert Silica, a natural chemical
found in toothpaste.
The mattress itself is comprised of 5 layers:
2" 1.5 density soft quilted foam that's covered in a cooling stretch fabric.
Once you open up your mattress and let it "inflate", you will observe all these layers.
This is something that I really like about this mattress because unlike other mattresses,
You might be unable to see the layers if you don't open it up. With this one, you can see
Most of the layers from the outside because of the way it is put together.
Comfort
The Alexander Signature Series is best for those who like to sleep on something that isn't
going to eat them whole. By this I mean that you won't sink in. Two other testers thought
the mattress was extremely comfortable. One said that their back pain had went away and
The other said he was snoring less. They also said that the firmness level was Fantastic
for their comfort level.
My husband thought that the mattress was pretty comfortable as well and both him and I
Were huge fans of the top quilted layer that was sort of like a pillow top. It was soft to
Touch and fluffy to a certain degree.
Since I am so use to a softer memory foam topper, this mattress was just a touch too firm
for my liking. I started waking up sore and stiff, which I do believe that it is just because
My body was trying to get use to sleeping on something with a little more support and
firmness.
Fortunately, the Nest Bedding company has different "feel" options available instead of one
General firmness, which if I had the choice to exchange it, I would have. I would have
Probably slept better with a more plush alternative. As I stated above, you can exchange
Mattresses until you discover the perfect firmness level for you.
Support
All in all, the mattress had great support. Unlike other memory foam mattresses,
Sometimes when one person is on the opposite side, there can be a dip that leads to them on
The opposite side of the bed. With this mattress, my husband was able to lay on the other side
of the bed and I was on my side without the feeling of rolling towards him. It supported
each of our weights just right so that we were not being directed towards each others side
of the bed.
One of the main features of the Alexander is that it is suppose to create a pressure-free
sleeping environment. The medium plush is made specifically for back and side sleepers,
neither of which I am, I am a stomach sleeper. I think that if I were a back sleeper, I
would not have been waking up sore, as I sta ted earlier.
The first time I slept on it, it felt very firm, but as the days went on, it got a little softer.
The break in period was around a week and a half for it to have a steady level of comfort.
Once it was broken in, the support seemed to increase.
Edge Support
Honestly, the edge support is really great for a memory foam mattress. I've tested other
mattresses that had less than desireable edge support. If I sat on the edge, I would sink to
the floor. This is not the case for the Alexander. That bottom layer that acts like a box
spring, in my opinion, keeps the edge of the bed firm and not saggy. With other
Mattresses, I could put my leg off of the edge and the entire thing would give away and I
Would wind up on the floor, but not with this one. I was able to swing my leg over and
Would remain in place.
My husband also liked the fact that he could sit on the edge of the bed put his socks on
without sinking to the box spring supporting the mattress. Keep in mind, he is 230
pounds, so if the edge of it can support that, imagine what it would be like with someone
lighter. I would assume there would be almost little to no sinking.
If you take a look at the picture, you can see that the edge support is keeping me on the
mattress very well.
Motion Isolation
The motion transfer for this mattress isn't as good as some of the other ones that I have
tested. I found myself feeling movement from my husband's midnight flailing sessions,
which would wake me up.
If you are on the lighter side, I think that the motion transfer would be a little different.
But since he is heavier and I am lighter, it's just easier for me to feel it. If you take a look
at the video, I have used 2 of my wonderful children to do this test. You can see that my
55 pound son is jumping while my daughter, who is also 55 pounds, is moving around
considerably, not terribly, but enough to notice.
Temperature Regulation Features
Since the mattress is made with a super breathable High Density Gel Memory Foam and
SmartFlow Air FLow Foam, it is suppose to help you sleep much cooler than traditional
memory foam mattresses. This is something that I would look for in a mattress because
my husband and myself sleep very hot.
I was able to do a heat retention test to put some truth to this claim that the mattress is
Suppose to help me sleep cooler, scroll down to the next section to learn the results of
my experiment.
Heat Retention
I noticed that I was sleeping much warmer on this one than other ones I Have slept on
in the past. This mattress definitely retains mo re heat than other mattresses I have tested.
I thought that I would do a test to show how long it would take for the mattress to cool
Down to its original temperature after being exposed to heat, the exact same test I did on
Another mattress that I tested.
Using an infrared heat gun and a heating sock,I like to tests my mattresses on how long it
takes to drop from around 130 degrees to 98 degrees. This one took 36 seconds to cool
down, the longest thus far. This had infact confirmed my suspicions that the mattress was
retaining heat.Now, if you like to sleep a little on the warm side, then you will have no problem
sleeping on this mattress. On the other hand, if you like the mattress itself, just not the
Heat retention, there's always the option of purchasing a cooling mattress pad. I tested
One not too long ago called the Slumber Cloud Nacreous Mattress Pad. It has a wonderful
cooling factor and works very well, even on the warmest mattress. If you click that link,
You may read our review more in depth.
Smell
I am actually quite surprised to say that there was absolutely no smell to the Alexander. I
had initially read on their website that their mattress had no odor to it because it was
Made with all natural materials. I have heard this claim before and it did not hold to be
true. I was extremely impressed when I opened it up and there was literally no smell. I
Was able to sleep on it the exact same night without having to mask a chemical smell with
Sheets which have been drenched in fabric softener.
To me, the fact that there was no odor, meant a lot. This is because my baby still sleeps in
my room and if a strong chemical smell would be bad for me, I can't imagine what he
would be thinking if he had to smell it all night too. With that said, this mattress gets the
mommy approval sticker.
The Alexander Signature Select-and All Their other beds-are made and eco-friendly in

Foams are CertiPUR-US certified, which I absolutely love. This company believes that
