Juno Mattress: Too Good To Be True?
Our Verdict
Juno Mattress could be a good option for short-term use or your guest bedroom, but I would not recommend it to anyone else. If not for the easy return policy, I would have wasted a few hundred bucks on a mattress that says it “does it all” but falls short on many performance criteria. For a little more investment, mattresses like The Endy offer great value for money and better longevity.

Purchasing and Returns
Unboxing and First Impressions
The Juno mattress is possibly the lightest bed-in-a-box I’ve received, which is no surprise as this is a pretty thin mattress. Although handling it was easy, unboxing it led to a nightmare, as there was a strong off-gassing smell that did not dissipate for almost 2 months. Even after trying to air it out, this odour would not go away, which caused me and my husband to have headaches for weeks! My first impression of the mattress was, therefore, not very positive.
Construction
1. Juno Knit Cover
A stretchy, soft knit cover
2. 2” Cooling Gel Foam
Meant to contour your body and provide temperature regulation
3. 6” Support Foam
This layer is supposed to provide support and minimize motion transfer.
Comfort
Even as an average-weight sleeper (I weigh 127 lbs), Juno Mattress was too unstable for me. There was almost no bounce on it, which resulted in back and shoulder pain for me, and the sinkage made it almost impossible to get out of bed. I did not feel this mattress relieved any pressure from my body; instead, my spine felt arched overnight, and my shoulders contoured too deep. As the mattress height is only 8 inches, I could feel the foundational foam through all layers, which was very uncomfortable.
Firmness
Juno Mattress lacks in firmness and leans towards the softer side, scoring 3 out of 10 on our firmness scale. Unless you are a lightweight side sleeper, this mattress lacks firmness to offer optimal support for you. I feel this is mostly due to the low-quality foam used in the mattress construction, while there is no reinforced support from the foundational foam. Although the mattress retails for a low price, the lack of firmness makes this mattress unsuitable for many.
Motion Transfer
Memory foams are known to perform better in isolating motion, and Juno was fairly good in this area. Other than when my partner got in and out of bed, I could not feel any movements on this bed. However, if you’re a light sleeper, you may find better alternatives with far superior motion isolation to help you get undisturbed sleep.
Cooling
If there was one performance criterion where Juno could significantly improve, it is the cooling. As a hot sleeper, my partner was thoroughly disappointed in the lack of airflow and cooling on this mattress, and on some hot nights, I, too, woke up with night sweats. The 2” gel foam is of poor quality, and it does not even keep the surface of the mattress cool. I doubt there could be much difference in upgrading to their Cool+ Cover.
Edge Support
Although there is no firm border or reinforced edge support in the mattress construction, Juno did a fairly good job of keeping the perimeter of the mattress stable. While sitting and lying close to the edge of the mattress, I felt stable enough without slipping or falling off. However, my partner, who weighs around 200 lbs, felt some sinkage around the edges, causing him to feel unbalanced.
Sinkage and Responsiveness
There isn’t much sinkage on this mattress; however, due to low bounce, it can feel uncomfortable to move and get in and out of bed. My partner noticed 2-3 inches sinking on the mattress, indicating there could be slight sinkage for heavier people. The mattress takes longer to recover from your movements, which could feel frustrating to combination sleepers.
How does it suit different sleeping positions?
Side Sleepers
Lightweight side sleepers who prefer extremely soft mattresses will find the Juno comfortable.
Back Sleepers
I do not recommend this mattress to back sleepers as it lacks firmness and support and could result in back and shoulder pains.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers should explore alternatives with firmer construction, as the Juno will not provide adequate support to keep their midsection aligned. The Silk & Snow S&S Firm could be a better option for them.
Combination Sleepers
Combination sleepers toss and turn and switch positions throughout the night, which requires better performance in motion isolation and responsiveness than Juno. They would also prefer a medium-firm or medium-plush mattress to suit more to their sleeping needs.
Lightweight Sleepers
Juno can provide adequate comfort without compromising support; however, the mattress’ lack of firmness can be unappealing to some.
Heavy People
Heavier individuals must steer clear of Juno and invest in firmer mattresses from durable brands like Silk & Snow, Endy, and Casper.
Should You Buy the Juno Mattress?
Juno mattress performs fairly well in motion transfer and edge support but falls short in many other areas, such as pressure relief, cooling, firmness, and durability. For the low price point, this mattress can be used short-term, such as for vacation homes and for a growing child. However, I would not recommend this mattress for long-term use for anyone other than lightweight sleepers.
For a few hundred bucks more, you can invest in high-quality mattresses that can last you a long time, such as The Endy Mattress, and Silk & Snow S&S. These alternatives display better cooling, firmness, motion isolation, and support to suit a wide range of sleepers and are well worth your investment.
