Nolah Evolution Mattress review: My sweetest sleep yet

I love my bed.
I know, that doesn't make me special — like, who doesn't love their bed? But I do; I love my bed, and I'm often hesitant to make changes to things that work for me, even when they're in desperate need of a replacement.
Then, an opportunity arose. Enter Nolah mattresses.
I had no idea at the time, but I'd soon come to love my bed even more. I watch TV from my bed, work from my bed, read in bed, and most importantly, sleep in bed.
After using the Nolah Evolution 15 mattress for just about a month, here's what I thought.

About Nolah
Nolah is not just a mattress brand, but a 'sleep technology' company dedicated to pain-free sleep. To the Nolah team, 'the dream is to perfect the sleep experience for customers of all sleep positions, sizes, ages, and budgets.'
Using premium materials like AirFoam and a proprietary HDMax Tri-Zone coil system, Nolah mattresses are designed to address vulnerabilities with ergonomic solutions that target common pain points like your hips and spine.
The brand currently offers seven different mattress models, all of which target different needs. There's the Nurture, made from Talalay latex and designed specifically for kids' beds; the Signature, which offers the most pressure relief with more AirFoam layers; the Original, an AirFoam mattress for any sleeping type, and the one we tested, the Evolution, which is Nolah's most popular mattress with 'the best cooling and comfort features,' is also one of the best mattresses for side-sleepers.

Our review of the Nolah Evolution 15 mattress
Nolah Evolution delivery and unboxing
The Nolah Evolution was my first 'mattress in a box' experience, so suffice it to say I was very intrigued by the whole enterprise. Previously, I'd bought mattresses from furniture stores, so it was always delivered to my house already opened up, fluffy, and ready to sleep on. That's obviously not the case with boxed mattresses, but the entire process was much simpler than I expected.
The mattress arrived on my doorstep and while I was able to drag the box inside myself, it was quite heavy, so moving it into the bedroom and actually beginning the unboxing process was definitely a two-person job. Nolah's instructions, sent to me in an email shortly after ordering the mattress, were easy to understand and simple to follow.
Step one: open one end of the box and slide the mattress roll out.
From there, we were instructed to pick up the entire mattress roll, plastic wrap still intact, and align it on the base of the bed frame. Then, it was time to cut the plastic wrap and unroll, releasing the vacuum sealing that kept the mattress tightly rolled up.
Angela Tricarico
Once you've cut through the plastic significantly enough, the mattress will spring open and expand quickly. All that was left to do was position the mattress correctly and let it continue to expand.
All in all, it took about 5 minutes from box to bed, and not much longer after that to fully expand.
Nolah Evolution 15 construction
The Nolah Evolution mattress has seven internal layers, all serving different functions. Here's a little bit more about them.
Cooling Quilted Euro Topper: a 2-inch breathable foam topper that cushions your curves while drawing heat away from the body. AirBreath Heat Escape Gusset: a 4-inch border that aids air circulation by letting body heat escape rather than accumulating inside the mattress, keeping the foam layers cool, fresh, and dry. Zoned AirFoam HD: This high-density foam layer heightens pressure relief for side sleepers, with enhanced flexibility around the shoulders and firmer support around the lumbar region. CoreComfort Foam: another foam layer provides an additional 2 inches of pressure relief and head-to-toe support. EverAdapt Transition Foam: placed right above the coil layer, this 1-inch layer of foam adds a subtle bounce and absorbs fluctuations from the coils below (so you won't feel it when your partner moves or gets out of bed). HDMax Tri-Zone Coils and Reinforced Edges: at 8 inches, the thickest layer of the mattress offers deep support and durability with individually wrapped coils made for motion isolation and grouped into three zones for targeted support. Thicker perimeter coils increase edge support. Stabilizing Base Foam: The coil layer rests on top of one final foam foundation layer, increasing overall stability.
Angela Tricarico
All of these layers are encased in an extra-strong fabric border with carrying handles and a non-skid backside to keep your mattress stable on a bed frame or foundation. The top of the Evolution mattress is covered with a soft cotton ArcticTex cover that keeps you cool and protects the mattress from damage.
Sleeping on the Nolah Evolution mattress
For a long time, a new mattress seemed like more of a hassle than it was worth, so the one on my bed had stuck around a while. I'm talking years — I had my pre-Nolah mattress since at least high school, and despite searching all over it, I couldn't even figure out what brand it was.
I know what I like, though, and that's another reason I was hesitant to make a big change. What if I get this mattress, go through the entire process of moving my old one, and set up this new one just to end up hating it?!
Angela Tricarico
Nolah's 120-night sleep trial eased some of the nerves that came with buying and installing a mattress I hadn't gotten the chance to test out in a store beforehand.
I'll just get this out of the way now: I love the Nolah Evolution mattress, and even after over a month of use, I haven't been able to find a major flaw. I don't like an overly plush mattress, so the 'firm' firmness has been perfect. On its own scale, Nolah rates the firmness of the 'firm' mattress as a 7-8, putting it closer to 'wood log' than 'jello' on a spectrum.
Per The Sleep Foundation, a 7-8 firm mattress has virtually no sinkage and minimal conforming.
Firmness, check. It's just how I like it.
Onto the next major criteria: how do I feel after a good night's sleep?
In my sleeping experience (all 27 years of it), there's always one major sign that the mattress I'm sleeping on, as a side-sleeper, just isn't for me: hip and lower back pain. It happens nearly every time I sleep in a hotel and it definitely made college dorms a bit of a struggle.
When I woke up the morning after my first restful sleep on the Nolah Evolution, my hips didn't hurt, and I knew that if that pain hadn't started overnight on that first night, it likely wouldn't develop the longer I slept on it — and so far, it hasn't.
The only minor flaw I've found, and I mean minor, is the mattress height. At 15 inches, it's quite tall, so depending on your bed frame, you may find yourself having to do a little hop to get up on it at night, like I do. You'll likely feel a little more elevated, too, depending on your old mattress' height.
Nolah Evolution mattress pricing
The Nolah Evolution 15 mattress is available in seven different sizes. Here's how much they cost, before any deals or discounts.
Size: Price: Twin (38″ x 74″) $1,460.00 Twin XL (38″ x 80″) $1,727.00 Full (54″ x 75″) $1,994.00 Queen (60″ x 80″) $2,127.00 King (76″ x 80″) $2,394.00 California King (72″ x 84″) $2,394.00 Split King 2x (38″ x 80″) $3,454.00
Nolah shipping, warranty, and sleep trial
All of Nolah's mattresses, including the one I received, ship free via FedEx from the brand's warehouse in Arizona. Mine shipped on March 26 and arrived on my doorstep five days later on March 31.
All of the mattresses also come with a 120-night sleep trial to ensure your mattress of choice is the right one for you. During the trial period, you'll be able to request an exchange or return your mattress for a full refund. You'll have to pay $99.00 for pickup and return shipping if you choose to return your mattress.
Nolah mattresses are also covered by a limited lifetime warranty. For the first 10 years from the original purchase date, the mattress is warranted against non-excluded defects in the workmanship or materials at no additional cost to the customer. Beyond the first 10 years, users will have to pay a prorated replacement charge that changes depending on how long they've had the mattress.
The final verdict
If you, like me, consider yourself someone hesitant to jump on the mattress-in-a-box trend, take this as a sign that it's 100% worth it.
When you consider all of the factors, including the incredibly easy setup, sleep trial, price, and warranty, the Nolah Evolution 15 is an excellent mattress that will be sure to bring you sweet dreams.
How we tested
Angela Tricarico
I've been sleeping on the Nolah Evolution 15 for about a month at the time of writing.
As noted above, I switched from a very old mattress, and to make it comfortable, I've had to put a memory foam mattress pad on top. I could immediately feel the difference between using a mattress and a mattress pad combination vs. this new mattress, with a cooling foam topper built in. It's a small thing that actually makes a massive difference.
It's been quite warm in my house, so I've been sure to note how the cooling technology of the mattress works, as well.
To provide the most comprehensive review I could, I tested the mattress based on these criteria: comfort level, pressure relief, edge support, and temperature regulation.
Comfort level: For me, a comfortable mattress means something on the firmer side, that's not too plush and has minimal sinkage. The firm Nolah Evolution 15 mattress is the perfect balance of firmness with a softer top that has led to nothing but sweet dreams.
Pressure relief: As a side-sleeper, if I'm sleeping on the wrong mattress, my hips will know it immediately. The Nolah Evolution offers full-body support, with a specific focus on the hips and lower back, to relieve pressure from those points. I haven't woken up with hip or back pain yet; so far, so good!
Edge support: This is a big consideration, due to the fact that I've been sleeping on a twin mattress. If I'm not completely centered on the mattress, I'm automatically drifting toward an edge. Thanks to the thicker coils around the perimeter of the mattress, the edge support is increased. I don't feel like I'm going to roll right off the side if I happen to get closer to the edge in my sleep. It's a bit softer on the edges, but it's still just as supportive as the center of the mattress.
Temperature regulation: I started testing this mattress during a perfect time: it's not yet hot enough to warrant turning the air conditioning on, but it's not cold either. I knew I would be putting Nolah Evolution's cooling factors to the test. I don't use cooling sheets or anything in that realm, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this mattress doesn't trap body heat. Obviously, where you sleep is going to be warmer, but it cools quickly and makes for an incredibly pleasant sleeping environment.
FAQ
How to choose the right mattress for you
Mattresses are one of those things where 'one size fits all' does not apply. While the different sizes are standardized, the varying firmnesses will be what makes a mattress the right one for you. According to The Sleep Foundation, your sleep position and height/weight are major factors in determining which one is best for you.
Extra Soft to Soft (1-3 out of 10) : Often comfortable for side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds
: Often comfortable for side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds Medium Soft to Medium Firm (4-6 out of 10) : Moderate support, less sinkage. Sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds usually enjoy a good balance of contouring and support.
: Moderate support, less sinkage. Sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds usually enjoy a good balance of contouring and support. Firm to Extra Firm (7-10 out of 10): Offers exceptional support for sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds and stomach sleepers
How often should you replace a mattress?
Under normal conditions, The Sleep Foundation recommends replacing a mattress every 6-8 years.
Various factors, including the materials a mattress is made from, will determine a specific mattress' lifespan. If it's noticeably saggy, noisier than normal, or negatively affecting your sleep, it might be time to shop for a new mattress.

How to find the best crypto to buy now

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, platforms like Best Wallet can provide the real-time insights and analytics needed to navigate the often chaotic world of crypto. Advertisement Are You Crypto Curious? How to start crypto trading today Best Wallet Download a trusted exchange app — Start by choosing a licensed crypto exchange. We recommend starting with the Best Wallet app, available for both iOS and Android. Create and verify your account — Sign up using your email, Google, or Apple ID. To complete registration, you'll need to verify your identity with a government-issued ID and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. Fund your account — Deposit money into your account by linking a bank account or credit card or even using gift cards. Choose an option that best fits your lifestyle. Buy your first cryptocurrency — Use the app's marketplace or swap tool to purchase crypto by entering the ticker symbol — like BTC for Bitcoin or ETH for Ethereum — and follow the prompts to complete the transaction. Choose how to store your crypto — Decide whether you'll keep your crypto in the exchange, move it to a digital wallet (hot wallet), or store it offline (cold wallet) for extra protection. LEARN MORE When evaluating cryptocurrencies, Martin Leinweber, director of digital asset research and strategy at MarketVector Indexes, suggests focusing on fundamentals. 'Identify cryptocurrencies through research into their fundamentals, such as network security, adoption rates, and GitHub activity, while using platforms like CoinMarketCap for market insights, keeping in mind their highly speculative risks,' he says. Advertisement Ethereum is the second most valuable cryptocurrency when measured by market capitalization. Alvaro – That means understanding a coin's technological foundation, the problem it aims to solve, its active user base and developer contributions. Tools like on-chain analytics and blockchain explorers can help investors gauge activity levels, while whitepapers and roadmaps provide a sense of long-term vision. But no matter how solid a project appears, volatility is always a risk in crypto. Advertisement Bitcoin and Ethereum still lead the pack by market cap and adoption. 'Large-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, valued for its store-of-value narrative, and Ethereum, known for its robust smart contract ecosystem, are often considered leaders due to their market dominance and adoption, but all remain highly speculative,' says Leinweber. Bitcoin is often dubbed 'digital gold,' while Ethereum's programmable blockchain powers everything from NFTs to decentralized finance (DeFi). Both have established track records and strong community support — but they're not without risk. Emerging contenders like Solana and Avalanche have drawn attention for their scalability and lower fees. Advertisement 'Among newer tokens, projects like Solana stand out for their high-throughput capabilities,' says Leinweber, adding that even these require scrutiny of 'their whitepapers and team credibility.' Finding the best crypto to buy requires more than just reading headlines. Investors should evaluate a project's 'tokenomics,' development activity, partnerships and community strength. 'Assess their technological innovation, market traction, and developer activity, using data from whitepapers, on-chain analytics, and reputable reports, but recognize their speculative nature,' Leinweber advises. When evaluating cryptocurrencies, experts suggest to focus on the fundamentals. WESTOCK – In addition to platforms like Best Wallet and CoinMarketCap, crypto Reddit forums, Discord groups and podcasts can provide insight into how a project is being received by the wider community. Long-term investors should prioritize sustainable growth and real-world utility. 'Large-cap tokens like Bitcoin, often seen as digital gold, and Ethereum, powering decentralized applications, are frequently favored for long-term potential due to their established ecosystems,' Leinweber says. Before buying, take a close look at whether the project aligns with trends like scalability, modularity, or interoperability — key themes in the evolution of blockchain tech. Cross-checking data from independent sources is essential. Advertisement If you're investing for the long haul, Bitcoin and Ethereum remain go-to options. 'Large-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, with its institutional backing, and Ethereum, with its vast developer ecosystem, are often highlighted for their relative stability, but their speculative nature means significant risks remain,' Leinweber warns. Long-term investors should prioritize sustainable growth and real-world utility. Travis – Emerging coins with strong fundamentals, a dedicated development team, and growing adoption might also offer upside — but they come with higher risk. That's why even long-term plays require regular re-evaluation. Advertisement New tokens often capture attention with bold promises and viral marketing, but caution is key. Look for projects with transparent leadership, detailed roadmaps, and meaningful use cases. Leinweber points to Solana as an example of a newer token showing strong throughput capabilities but emphasizes its speculative nature. With no history to fall back on, newer projects demand heightened scrutiny. Reading the whitepaper, understanding the community, and watching how the project delivers on early milestones can reveal a lot. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your ideal crypto depends on your risk tolerance, investment timeline and interest in particular sectors—like DeFi, gaming, or infrastructure. Advertisement Leinweber notes that even the most established coins carry risk. 'Decisions should be informed by deep research into project fundamentals and market dynamics, acknowledging the potential for sharp fluctuations,' Leinweber says. Diversifying across market caps and use cases can help spread risk while offering exposure to innovation. Staying informed is non-negotiable. 'Trusted sources like CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph and The Block provide in-depth coverage of large-cap tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while X offers real-time updates from developers and insiders,' Leinweber says. Advertisement 'Though all crypto markets remain speculative and prone to misinformation.' Experts say Solana is an example of a newer token showing strong throughput capabilities, though they warn of its speculative nature. Art_Photo – Cross-verifying news is essential. Look for direct quotes, links to official channels and data-backed reporting. Platforms like Best Wallet also offer curated news that filters out the noise. Even the best advice comes with a disclaimer. 'Look to reputable analysts, industry whitepapers, and platforms like X for insights, but their speculative nature means even expert advice carries uncertainty,' Leinweber says. For financial guidance tailored to your situation, consulting a licensed advisor is wise. Pair that with your own research and you'll be in a better position to make informed decisions. In the end, the best crypto to buy now is the one that aligns with your goals, backed by solid fundamentals and a community that believes in its future.

How Senate Republicans want to change the tax breaks in Trump's big bill

WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans are taking slightly different approaches when it comes to the tax cuts that lawmakers are looking to include in their massive tax and spending cuts bill. Republicans in the two chambers don't agree on the size of a deduction for state and local taxes. And they are at odds on such things as allowing people to use their health savings accounts to help pay for their gym membership, or whether electric vehicle and hybrid owners should have to pay an annual fee. The House passed its version shortly before Memorial Day. Now the Senate is looking to pass its version. While the two bills are similar on the major tax provisions, how they work out their differences in the coming weeks will determine how quickly they can get a final product over the finish line. President Donald Trump is pushing to have the legislation on his desk by July 4th. Here's a look at some of the key differences between the two bills: The child tax credit currently stands at $2,000 per child. The House bill temporarily boosts the child tax credit to $2,500 for the 2025 through 2028 tax years, roughly the length of President Donald Trump's second term. It also indexes the credit amount for inflation beginning in 2027. The Senate bill provides a smaller, initial bump-up to $2,200, but the bump is permanent, with the credit amount indexed for inflation beginning next year. Trump promised on the campaign trail that he would seek to end income taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits. Also, he would give car buyers a new tax break by allowing them to deduct the interest paid on auto loans. The House and Senate bills incorporate those promises with temporary deductions lasting from the 2025 through 2028 tax years, but with some differences. The House bill creates a deduction on tips for those working in jobs that have customarily received tips. The House also provides for a deduction for overtime that's equal to the amount of OT a worker has earned. The Senate bill comes with more restrictions. The deduction for tips is limited to $25,000 per taxpayer and the deduction for overtime is limited to $12,500 per taxpayer. The House and Senate bills both provide a deduction of up to $10,000 for interest paid on loans for vehicles made in the United States. And on Social Security, the bills don't directly touch the program. Instead, they grant a larger tax deduction for Americans age 65 and older. The House sets the deduction at $4,000. The Senate sets it at $6,000. Both chambers include income limits over which the new deductions begin to phase out. The caps on state and local tax deductions, known in Washington as the SALT cap, now stand at $10,000. The House bill, in a bid to win over Republicans from New York, California and New Jersey, lifts the cap to $40,000 per household with incomes of less than $500,000. The credit phases down for households earning more than $500,000. The Senate bill keeps the cap at $10,000. That's a non-starter in the House, but Republicans in the two chambers will look to negotiate a final number over the coming weeks that both sides can accept. The House bill prohibits states from establishing new provider taxes or increasing existing taxes. These are taxes that Medicaid providers, such as hospitals, pay to help states finance their share of Medicaid costs. In turn, the taxes allow states to receive increased federal matching funds while generally holding providers harmless through higher reimbursements that offset the taxes paid. Such taxes now are effectively capped at 6%. The Senate looks to gradually lower that threshold for states that have expanded their Medicaid populations under the Affordable Care Act, or 'Obamacare,' until it reaches 3.5% in 2031, with exceptions for nursing homes and intermediate care facilities. Industry groups have warned that limiting the ability of states to tax providers may lead to some states making significant cuts to their Medicaid programs as they make up for the lost revenue in other ways. The Medicaid provision could be a flashpoint in the coming House and Senate negotiations. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., was highly critical of the proposed Senate changes. 'This needs a lot of work. It's really concerning and I'm really surprised by it,' he said. 'Rural hospitals are going to be in bad shape.' The House bill would allow companies for five years to fully deduct equipment purchases and domestic research and development expenses. The Senate bill includes no sunset, making the tax breaks permanent, which was a key priority of powerful trade groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Republicans in both chambers are looking to scale back the clean energy tax credits enacted through then-President Joe Biden's climate law. It aimed to boost the nation's transition away from planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions toward renewable energy such as wind and solar power. Under the Senate bill, the tax credits for clean energy and home energy efficiency would still be phased out, but less quickly than under the House bill. Still, advocacy groups fear that the final measure will threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive up household energy costs. The House bill would allow millions of Americans to use their health savings accounts to pay for gym memberships, with a cap of $500 for single taxpayers and $1,000 for joint filers. The Senate bill doesn't include such a provision. The House reinstates a charitable deduction for non-itemizers of $150 per taxpayer. The Senate bill increases that deduction for donations to $1,000 per taxpayer. Republicans in the House bill included a new annual fee of $250 for EV owners and $100 for hybrid owners that would be collected by state motor vehicle departments. The Senate bill excludes the proposed fees.
