Wright Mattress Review
Built through 27 rounds of prototyping, the Wright 1.27 blends a soft, medium-firm top with three high-density support layers underneath.
The Wright 1.27 mattress was beautifully designed to give a soft, yet supportive sleep.
Our research teamSoftness and Support, Engineered Together
The Wright 1.27 gets its name from its development process: 27 rounds of prototyping before the bed reached the public. Our review is based on that testing history and reported results rather than a single in-house sleep test. At 6 out of 10 firmness, the bed sits at that medium point most mattress brands aim for — soft enough for side sleepers, firm enough for back sleepers.
Underneath the soft top, three high-density foam layers do the structural work, which is where the Wright earns its reputation: a soft-feeling surface that doesn't sacrifice support. Sinkage comes in at 2 inches, reasonable for a medium bed, and the memory foam top reduces motion transfer well enough that a restless partner is less likely to wake a light sleeper.
Two middle layers are built specifically to pull heat away from the body, and while some customers notice a smell when first opening the box, the foams are CertiPUR-US certified and the odor is reported to dissipate within a few hours of airing out.
At 11 inches across four layers — a removable, higher-friction cover; 1.5 inches of gel-infused memory foam; 2 inches of heat-dispersal foam; a 1.5-inch heat-reactive layer; and 6 inches of high-density support foam — this is one of the pricier beds we've reviewed. Some of that cost buys one of the industry's longer commitments: a 120-night trial and a 15-year warranty.
Why We Love It
- Soft, medium-firm feel that suits both back and side sleepers
- Three high-density support layers keep the soft top from feeling unsupportive
- Two heat-dispersal layers help it sleep cool
- CertiPUR-US certified foams
- 120-night trial and 15-year warranty, among the longest in the industry
Considerations
- One of the higher-priced beds in its category
- Some customers notice an off-gassing smell on unboxing
- Softer top makes vigorous movement on the bed harder
Our Research Findings
We looked into the Wright Bedding 1.27 based on its development history and reported results rather than a single in-house sleep test. Rated 6 out of 10 for firmness, the bed's soft top sits over three high-density support layers, producing a medium feel with about 2 inches of sinkage — soft enough for side sleeping, firm enough to still support a back sleeper.
Two middle layers are designed to pull heat away from the sleeper, and the mattress is reported to sleep cool overall. Some customers notice a smell when first opening the box; the foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and airing the mattress out for a few hours is recommended before use.
27 Rounds of Prototyping
The Wright 1.27's name refers to the 27 rounds of testing and refinement the mattress went through before release — the company's explanation for both its comfort and its higher price.
We Recommend This To Readers Who:
-
Sleep on your back
The firmer top and high-density support layers underneath suit back sleepers well.
-
Sleep on your side
The medium 6/10 feel also works for side sleepers who want some give.
-
Share a bed with a restless partner
The memory foam top reduces motion transfer, and a 120-night trial gives plenty of room to decide.
