Mattress Insider Ovation Sofa Bed Mattress review

The Ovation is the entry model in Mattress Insider's sofa bed range, and the store labels it its best value. It skips memory foam and latex and uses a 3.5-inch layer of plant-based foam over a 1-inch high-density support base, under a cotton cover, for the standard 4.5-inch height. That simpler build is why it costs $199 for a 35 by 72 inch mattress and $299 at the top of the range when we checked, about $100 less than the Deluxe at each end. It comes in the same 8 stock sizes as the rest of the Mattress Insider line, is made in the USA and ships free by FedEx Ground. The 365-night guarantee also applies, with the same $59 restocking fee and return shipping on refunds. For a sofa bed used a few nights a year, the Ovation is a large step up from a thin spring mattress, but frequent sleepers will get more pressure relief from a model with a memory foam or latex top.
