Thanks to its Talalay latex comfort system and pocketed coil core, the Nolah Natural isolates motion to an extent. The latex absorbs some surface-level vibrations, and the coils move independently to prevent the spread of movement across the core.
However, latex’s natural responsiveness and the bounce of the coils could contribute to mild motion transfer. While this shouldn’t be a problem for most sleepers, those who share their bed with a restless partner and wake up easily might notice the vibrations more.

Nolah sells direct-to-consumer foam, foam hybrid, and latex hybrid mattresses. Since its launch in 2015, Nolah has grown to offer a total of five models.
Touted as an environmentally friendly model, the Nolah Natural is a medium firm (6) latex hybrid that contours while limiting sinkage. It consists of natural materials, including latex, cotton, and wool, which help wick away moisture and enhance the airflow to keep sleepers cool throughout the night.
In addition to the Nolah Natural, the company offers one other latex hybrid model: the Nolah Nurture. The Nolah Nurture is a flippable model intended for children. It comes in three sizes: twin, twin XL, and full.
Three other non-latex options are also available. The Nolah Original 10” and the Nolah Signature 12” are both all-foam models. Both the Nolah Original and the Nolah Signature 12” have a medium (5) feel. Meanwhile, the Nolah Evolution 15” is a foam hybrid model that comes in three firmnesses: medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8). All three use AirFoam comfort layers designed to stay cooler than memory foam by allowing heat to dissipate.
Today, we will look at the specifications, pricing, and performance of the Nolah Natural Latex Mattress. We’ll also summarize Nolah’s shipping costs, warranty policy, and sleep trial.

Side Sleepers
The Nolah Naturals is a good choice for side sleepers looking for pressure relief without a lot of sinkage.
Its Talalay latex comfort system conforms to a side sleeper’s hips and shoulders to help redistribute their weight and reduce hip and shoulder discomfort. Since the material also limits sinkage, most side sleepers shouldn’t have to worry about their hips sinking in excessively and putting a strain on their lower back. Zoning in the support core also reinforces the center of the bed to prevent the hips from sagging.
Thanks to its medium firm feel, the Nolah Natural performs well for most side sleepers across weight groups. However, its combination of contouring and support is best suited for side sleepers over 130 pounds.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers may have an easier time maintaining their spinal alignment because of the Nolah Natural’s supportive design.
Structure from the Nolah Natural’s coils provides an even sleep surface, preventing excessive sinkage that could put a strain on a back sleeper’s lumbar area. Zoning enhances the midsection’s support to further reduce the likelihood of a back sleeper’s hips sagging. Meanwhile, the Talalay latex comfort system has just enough give for the hips to sink without drooping, thereby promoting good posture.
The mattress’ medium firm feel is well suited for back sleepers up to 230 pounds, balancing gentle cradling with stable support.
Stomach Sleepers
The Nolah Natural’s limited sinkage and zoned support make it a comfortable option for many stomach sleepers.
Since the Talalay latex comfort system spreads compression across the surface, most stomach sleepers should not sink in excessively. The coil core is sturdier near the center, which helps prevent the sleeper’s midsection from pulling their spine out of alignment.
Because of its medium firm feel, the Nolah Natural may be closest to ideal for stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. While the mattress should also be comfortable for many stomach sleepers over 130 pounds, some who carry extra weight near their midsection could experience discomfort in their lower backs.

Nolah Natural Latex Mattress Review Breakdown
The Nolah Natural Latex Mattress is an 11-inch thick, medium firm (6) model.
A GOTS-certified organic cotton cover wraps around the mattress. Cotton naturally allows air circulation to cool the surface, and a breathable, temperature-regulating layer of GOTS-certified organic wool adds to this effect.
Following the wool layer is a 2-inch comfort layer of airy, responsive Talalay latex that gently cradles the body. A 1-inch transition layer of firmer Talalay latex deepens the contouring while adding support. Talalay latex is lighter and more breathable than Dunlop latex due to differences in their production methods. The latex in the Nolah Natural is also hole-punctured for extra air circulation and certified by the Rainforest Alliance for sustainable practices.
Next, a support core of patented HDMax Tri-Zone coils reinforces the surface. This layer is zoned with extra coils near the center of the mattress to limit midsection sagging and promote good posture. The coils are also pocketed to reduce motion transfer and better contour to the sleeper’s shape.
Finally, a layer of organic wool and cotton serves as a foundation for the coil system.
