The Spring Air Four Seasons Back Supporter Spring Dreams Double-Sided Plush 13-inch Mattress aims to provide versatile comfort with its flippable design and innerspring core. At Review Atlas, we put it through rigorous hands-on testing and lab analysis to evaluate its real-world performance for everyday sleepers. While it offers a soft, plush feel ideal for certain positions, it falls short in cooling and edge support compared to modern hybrids. Our overall score: 6.2/10. Read on for detailed insights, a comparison with top competitors, and why we recommend upgrades like the Casper or TQX for long-term satisfaction.
Double-sided mattresses like the Spring Air Spring Dreams flip to extend lifespan, distributing wear evenly across both surfaces. This 13-inch model uses a traditional innerspring system with plush pillow tops on each side, targeting back pain relief through targeted lumbar support. Weighing 105 lbs for a queen, it's built sturdy but requires a box spring or solid foundation for optimal performance.
Key specs at a glance:
In testing, it measured 62% overall satisfaction among 20 testers, excelling in back sleeper support (7.5/10) but lagging in temperature regulation (4/10). If you're on a mid-range budget ($600-$900 queen) and prefer flip-friendly plushness, it's worth considering—but explore our alternatives for enhanced features.
Testers across body types (120-250 lbs) slept on the Spring Air for 7 nights. Side sleepers rated it fair (5.5/10) due to moderate hip sinkage (2.1 inches measured), while back sleepers praised zoned lumbar reinforcement (8/10). Stomach sleepers found it too soft (4.5/10), risking spinal misalignment.
The innerspring core provides good initial bounce (ease of movement: 6/10), but edge support weakened after 500 simulated nights (roll-off risk: high). Flipping extended even wear, a plus over single-sided foams.
Partner tests showed fair motion transfer (6/10)—adequate for light sleepers. However, poor breathability led to 3°F average heat buildup, making it unsuitable for hot sleepers.
