In this Owl and Lark Airsilk mattress review, I discuss the second release from the popular maker that is more affordable but doesn’t lack quality. This is another hotel-style mattress that is geared towards those looking for both comfort and support.
After trying the Owl and Lark mattress, I was curious to get my hands on their cheaper version. Ten days ago, it was delivered to my doorstep, so it’s a good time now to move to the full review below.
Materials & Construction
This mattress features 4 layers plus the cover. In detail, these are:
- A memory foam layer that is designed to sleep cool. This layer has excellent pressure-relieving properties and adds comfort.
- A nano-coil spring layer that is designed to provide your body with tailored support. It also adds extra comfort.
- A pocket spring layer that is the main support layer. This type of pocket spring is designed to minimise motion transfer.
- A perimeter support encasement that improves the stability of this mattress, but also its edge support.
This mattress is not as thick as the Owl and Lark Original mattress, and it measures 30cm in height. The graphic below gives us a better look at the position of each layer.
Cover
One of the best things about this mattress is its cover. It features an embedded topper that adds comfort but also a more premium character to this mattress. The sleeping surface feels and looks luxurious as it’s made of Mulberry Silk. This is a sustainable material that allows airflow and sleeps cool. Additionally, it’s a durable material that doesn’t lack softness.
The cover comes with a classy design, and it features a nice beige colourway. On the sides, you will find 4 handles that will help you move this mattress. These are made of Napa leather, which adds an extra premium character. One clever thing you will find here is rotation-reminder tags, so you will know when it’s the right time to rotate your mattress. The cover is not removable, and if you get it stained, you should use a damp cloth and some mild detergent. Overall, this is a high-quality mattress that has truly impressed me.
Comfort & Support
It’s time to continue writing this Owl and Lark Airsilk mattress review and talk about its feel. This mattress was designed to offer a good balance between comfort and support, so it comes with a medium-firm feel. If I use my virtual scale here, I would say it’s a 7 with 10 being really firm. I want to talk now about my experience with it during the past ten days.
Starting from the back position, the mattress supported my body, and the weight distribution was optimal. I was comfortable sleeping this way, and there were no pressure points on my back.
Turning to the side position, the spring layer did a good job adjusting quickly, and there was no discomfort on my hips or shoulders. There were high levels of support, and my spinal alignment was neutral.
Finally, turning to the stomach position, the mattress managed to support my weight, and it was very comfortable sleeping this way. That means that this mattress is a true all-rounder and it can suit all types of sleepers.
If you share your bed with a partner, the Airsilk mattress is designed to minimise motion transfer. That means you won’t disturb each other during the night. Additionally, the edge support is great, which means that you will get in and out of bed with ease.
Service
Owl and Lark is a premium maker, so they offer a premium service. All their mattresses come with a free VIP delivery service that allows you to choose the date of your delivery. This is particularly useful for people with a busy schedule. Moreover, you can have your old mattress removed, so no need to worry about how to recycle it. Delivery is relatively fast, so you should expect your mattress within 4-5 working days. The mattress will arrive inside a canvas bag that you can use to store clothes or whatever you might want to.
I usually work from home on Fridays, so I had my mattress delivered then. Communication was great, and I was well informed about every step of the process. The couriers were prompt and quite helpful, which made the whole process very pleasant. Overall, I was happy with their service, so no complaints at all.
Trial Period & Guarantee
Most people don’t feel very comfortable buying a mattress online, but the good news is that Owl and Lark have your back. For this reason, they offer a 101-trial period that gives you more than 3 months to try this at home. If for any reason, you are not happy with it, you have the right to return it and get a full refund. The process is fairly straightforward, and all you have to do is contact their customer service department.
Moreover, all their mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee, which is the standard these days. In my opinion, though, a brand like Owl and Lark should offer a longer warranty, as this is a premium offering. Other than that, I have no complaints, and this is a comprehensive support package.
