Novilla Bliss 12-Inch Queen: What to Know
Novilla markets the Bliss as an all-foam mattress with a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer over polyfoam transition and high-density support layers, wrapped in a bamboo-derived rayon cover. Independent lab testers place its firmness in the medium range: Sleep Foundation rates it 5 out of 10, while NapLab rates the same line closer to a medium-firm 6 out of 10, both within the zone most commonly recommended for side sleepers.
This ASIN is the 12-inch queen configuration. Novilla's own line spans 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14-inch heights, and Sleep Foundation notes the thinner builds feel firmer while the thicker 12 and 14-inch versions feel softer and more cushioned, so firmness scores for other heights should not be assumed to carry over to this queen 12-inch model.
Sleep Foundation's lab testing found the memory foam sinks about 2.65 inches at pressure points, deeper than its roughly 2.14-inch average bed, and concluded the Bliss delivers effective pressure relief at the shoulders and hips for side sleepers under about 230 pounds. NapLab's independent test scored pressure relief at 7.5 to 8.0 out of 10 and similarly credited the foam's contouring, while both labs flag it as a weaker fit for stomach sleepers over roughly 130 pounds and for sleepers of any position above about 230 pounds, since support becomes less consistent at higher weights.
The two independent labs disagree noticeably on motion isolation: Sleep Foundation scores it 8 out of 10, a strong result for couples and light sleepers, while NapLab measured worse-than-average motion transfer, a 7.3 score against its own benchmark, and attributed it to an abrupt foam drop effect in the convoluted comfort layer. Edge support is rated more consistently poor by both: Sleep Foundation gives it 6.5 out of 10, and NapLab separately calls lying edge support poor and measured more sitting compression than its benchmark average, so buyers who sit on the edge of the bed or share it with a restless partner should expect noticeable perimeter give.
Temperature control is a shared weak point: NanoGel memory foam is designed to pull heat away from the sleeper, but Sleep Foundation scored temperature control only 6 out of 10 and lists the Bliss as a weaker choice for hot sleepers. Novilla's 30-night sleep trial and 10-year limited warranty are consistent across both lab writeups, and NapLab additionally reports that an initial new-mattress odor dissipated within about four days, faster than its average tested mattress.
Reported pricing varies substantially by source and promotion: NapLab paid roughly $329 for a queen during testing, while Sleep Foundation lists a broader $500 to $950 range across sizes. Confirm the current price, size, and any active discount on the retailer listing rather than relying on either published figure.
This review reconciles two independent lab-testing organizations' published Novilla Bliss data; TopFiveFind has not tested this mattress directly. A mattress can also change with age and use, so treat these as launch-condition test results rather than long-term durability claims.
What Owners Report
Recurring themes synthesized from the linked owner-review sources. These are reported experiences, not TopFiveFind test results.
Recurring positives
Both independent labs credit the Bliss with above-average pressure relief for the price, deep foam contouring at the shoulders and hips, and a fast-dissipating new-mattress odor compared with other tested memory foam beds.
Recurring complaints
The most consistent complaint across both labs is weak edge support, with noticeable sinkage when sitting or lying near the perimeter, plus below-average temperature control despite the gel-infused cooling claim.
Why reports disagree
Sleep Foundation and NapLab used different test protocols and scored motion isolation in opposite directions, 8 out of 10 strong versus a worse-than-average 7.3, and they also cite different retail prices for a queen. Differences in test methodology, sample units, and pricing captured during different promotional periods likely explain both gaps rather than a single definitive number.
Evidence limitations
Available independent evidence comes from two commercial mattress-testing sites rather than long-term owner surveys, and neither lab publishes results specific to this exact 12-inch queen ASIN sold on Amazon, only the same Bliss product line. No multi-year durability or sagging data was located.
