The Layla Memory Foam Mattress is one of the best mattresses for platform beds if you want flexibility with your sleeping surface.

At the core of this mattress, there are a further 4inches of foam which give it minimal bounce, reduced motion transfer, and maximum durability. The Airflow Support Foam also within this core helps to enhance the cooling and customized support features. The Layla Sleep memory foam mattress has a lifetime warranty.
