The final verdict
Ultimately, the Airweave 30 is one of the most interesting beds I’ve ever tested. Though it wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea, I can see strict back and stomach sleepers looking for an ultra-firm option with a responsive, firm feel really preferring this mattress — that is, if you have the money to spend up for it.
You might like the Airweave 30 mattress if:
- You want a truly firm mattress
- You’re interested in trying a unique feeling mattress
- You want a proprietary material endorsed by athletes
- You’re an average to petite-sized person with money to spend
You might not like the Airweave 30 bed if:
- You’re looking for a hybrid mattress for heavier people
- You want a more traditional bed with an accommodating feel
- You want a firmness that works for all sleep styles
- You’re on a super strict budget
Other mattresses from Airweave
In addition to the Airweave 30, the brand also has a few more mattresses for you to consider. There’s the Airweave mattress, which is pretty much the brand’s flagship bed that’s a bit more affordable. Then, you have two more premium options known as the Airweave 50 and the Airweave 70. These beds have thicker profiles and incorporate more comfort elements, making them softer than the 30.
How does Airweave compare to other mattresses?
Airweave 30 vs. Original Purple
These two mattresses are some of the most unique beds you can find online, and for good reason. Both have proprietary materials used for comfort. In the case of the Airweave 30, it’s AirFiber. For Purple, it’s the GelFlex Grid. These materials give them distinctly feels that are also pretty different. The AirFiber provides a lot of support and sturdiness but not much pressure relief, making the Airweave 30 a truly firm bed. The GelFlex Grid found within the Original Purple gives the bed equal parts support and pressure relief. This factor makes this option a bit softer at a proper medium on our scale.
Airweave 30 vs. Titan Plus
When it comes to firm online beds, these are probably two of the firmest I’ve tested so far. Both are around a proper firm on our scale but for completely different reasons. The AirFiber in the Airweave 30 gives the bed a substantial amount of pushback and resistance. For the Titan Plus, its thicker gauge coils and firm comfort panels give the bed its truly firm profile. The Titan Plus is much more affordable than the Airweave 30, but both beds are great options for primary back and stomach sleepers looking for firmer mattresses.
Airweave 30 mattress FAQs
While the AirFiber material may seem superficial at first glance, there’s a lot more to this stuff than meets the eye. Firstly, it’s completely washable, so you can actually rinse the material if it happens to get dirty. This makes it hypoallergenic, as there’s not much surface area for allergens or bacteria to accumulate on. Given its semi-weaved design, this material is also super breathable, which provides a nice advantage for hot sleepers seeking a cooler-sleeping bed. Lastly, the firmness of the AirFiber blocks varies from side to side, so you can flip them over or rotate them around the mattress, making the bed quite customizable.
