I'm considering this one as I'm trialing the Legacy Premiere (not elite) hybrid in medium. It's comfortable but after sinking in I feel it's a bit hard, particularly for side sleeping. Had it less than a month so we'll see if it "breaks in" but if not, may bite the bullet and try this one.
Came here to say this exact Mattress. ZERO give, it’s horrible. All my bones hurt from this cement mattress.
I bought the Novaform "firm" hybrid mattress on the basis of Wirecutter reviews and after a lifetime of sleeping on firm innersprings the memory foam is just a little too soft. I'm a back and side sleeper. Have tried the Sealy Carver innerspring firm mattress I bought my dad and I wound up preferring that. The executive membership for delivery and take away was worth every penny, though.
Mattresses are so personal but I bought mine at Costco and it fits my needs. I bought the Novaform legacy premier because it was supposed to be truly firm and it is. I've had it for about 3 months and I'm happy with the choice. Costco's return policy is what pushed me into going there first and if it didn't work out I knew I could go in a different direction.
So it looks like Novaform just launched another premium mattress product through Costco in addition to the higher priced and also recently released Platinum Hybrid. This one uses one 1.5" layer of 5lb foam over a 2.5" layer of their "latex like" foam. It also has a zoned middle spring and foam section in the middle for lower back and hip support. As someone who used and liked the Legacy Premier for but ultimately found it too firm, I'm looking forward to this one.
I got https://www.costco.com/p/-/novaform-14-legacy-premier-support-hybrid-euro-top-mattress/4000326605?langId=-1 and it's TOO firm I am waiting for a topper. With the topper I expect it to be perfect.
The 14” Novaform legacy from Costco. Shit had virtually no give
Got the novaform legacy. One week in and we’re happy with it. It’s nice and firm. Reports of it smelling or “de gassing” for a week are exaggerated. Will report further after a few more weeks
Out of the 9 or so Costco mattresses (Lessa Legends, Novaform, Sealy Posturepedics, S&F, and BeautyRest) I've tried so far, I like this one the most (and hate the Novaform Legacy with a passion). It's weird because my first Costco mattress was the S&F Kirkland Medium pillowtop, and it was mid. I could be remembering incorrectly, or my back is washed after all the mattresses since it's been a while, but I recall it initially being too firm for me and disliking the very divoted (?) patterned top. Either way, it doesn't matter because it ended up sagging/dipping near the hip area after a year. Now that I've slept 2 nights on the S&F Kirkland Firm tight-top version, I can only wish it won't dip like the previous S&F, because it has everything I like: med-firm (imo it's 7.5 or 8/10), the best edge support (out of all tried beds), not-boiling-alive-inducing materials, and excellent motion isolation (might be even better than the S&F Med). The last point is highly desirable because I sleep with my bf (6'0, 200+ lbs), and I'm 95 lbs, so most beds make me roll to one side. The only cons I can think of (which also applies to the Med-ver) are: it's too heavy for me to change sheets, and it's 14'' tall.
The Legacy is a weird mattress that was extremely firm, even for me, who prefers firmer mattresses, but too soft on the edges. The first night was just ok because it's a bed from a box, so it suggested (NOT REQUIRED) 48 hrs for it to expand fully, but the second night was a completely different story. At first, I thought it was because of my weight/stature, but it also caused the same problems for my bf--extreme soreness in the quads and calves when we lay down--and it got progressively worse throughout the night. It felt like we were losing circulation in our legs. After a few more nights, what bothered us was the patterned top because it was steep, frequent, and confusing to lie on: I couldn't properly guide my back or hips to an even/flat-enough surface to sleep on the same plane as the other parts of my body (unlike a usual simple pattern like dots), which I infer, forced my body to scrunch/tighten up to hold a decent posture. So, it was like my body was constantly fighting between relaxing and tensing. In short, my body did not lie evenly on the x and y axis, and that made the mattress feel artificially firmer. As for edge support, I noticed that in all the Novaforms I've tried, it's not what you're buying the bed for. I thought the firmness in the Legacy would be good enough, but if you look at Costco's diagram, there's only foam on the surrounding edges (NOT COILS). Also, logically, idk why I didn't reason that if a mattress can be rolled into a box, how could the edge support be good? I guess the novelty got to me lol. As for the PROS, the Legacy sleeps very cool, has good-quality handles, and it was decent on the first night. The top layer's material also felt soothing to touch and was my favorite part of the bed, but overall, it didn't work well for us.
I can only speak to the novaform legacy. It is firm. Very firm in the beginning. It took about two months to soften all around but now I really enjoy it. It reminds me a bit of the temperpedic adaptive which I felt was also firm but adjusted much more quickly to body. I don’t feel my partner move in bed and I feel it has good edge reinforcement. However, I would definitely consider that you might want/need a mattress topper. We don’t use one but we strongly considered it.
