Know before you buy
The extra-firm feel provides a stable, supportive surface that prevents sinking, which is ideal for back sleepers who need spinal alignment. Because it lacks the deep 'hug' of softer beds, you will feel like you are sleeping on top of the mattress rather than inside it.
The smooth-top panel removes the tufted or quilted texture found on many mattresses, creating a flat, seamless surface. This design allows you to feel the cooling properties of the memory foam more directly and provides a more modern, uniform aesthetic.
Titanium is a highly conductive material that helps draw heat away from your body more efficiently than standard memory foam. Combined with the cooling fabric cover, this mattress is designed to regulate temperature and prevent the heat buildup often associated with traditional foam.
Yes, the combination of an extra-firm surface and a reinforced pocket-coil core provides a responsive bounce. This makes it easier to change positions throughout the night without feeling stuck in the foam.
This certification ensures that the foams used in the mattress are made without ozone depleters, mercury, lead, or other heavy metals. It also guarantees low VOC emissions for better indoor air quality in your bedroom.
No, the KOVA Glide 13 is not compatible with adjustable bases. Its reinforced, extra-firm construction is designed for use on a flat, solid foundation or a platform bed.
