Love and Sleep Mattress Review
Nest Bedding's most affordable mattress pairs a bouncy Energex top with genuine cooling and support — all for well under $600.
Energex is the reason people who like hard and soft beds can agree on the Love and Sleep Mattress.
Our reviewerNest's Budget Bed Punches Above Its Price
Nest Bedding's newest mattress, the Love & Sleep, undercuts the rest of the industry on price without an obvious compromise on comfort — a queen runs $599, a steal for a bed built this well.
It comes in two firmness levels: a Medium at roughly 6 out of 10, designed for a broad range of sleepers, and a firmer version at about 8 out of 10. Both rely on a top layer of Energex, a hybrid of latex and memory foam that gives the bed real bounce alongside a plush, non-sinking feel — the kind of material that lets hard-bed and soft-bed sleepers agree on the same mattress.
We measured about 2 inches of sinkage, enough for real comfort without ever feeling stuck in the bed. Temperature performance exceeded our expectations too; the mattress's combination of materials draws heat away from the sleeper effectively, making it a reasonable pick even for hot climates. We found no noticeable off-gassing during testing.
There's no current promo code on this one, but at $599 for a queen, the price alone does most of the selling. Backed by free shipping, a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty, it's an easy recommendation for anyone shopping on a smaller mattress budget.

Our Hands-On Review
The Love & Sleep comes in two firmness options — Medium at around 6 out of 10, and a firmer version at about 8 out of 10 — both built around a 3-inch top layer of Energex, a latex-and-memory-foam blend that provides comfort without sacrificing support. We measured roughly 2 inches of sinkage, enough cushioning without the sensation of sinking into the bed.
Cooling exceeded our expectations for a foam-forward bed — the combination of the phase-change cover fabric and the Energex layer worked well together to draw heat away from the sleeper. We found no noticeable off-gassing during our research.
Built for Active Nights
The top Energex layer provides a significant amount of response and bounce, which the brand highlights as a plus for physically active nocturnal activities, not just sleep.
