Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Layla Memory Foam over the Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed. It scores higher in cooling, motion isolation, pressure relief and delivers stronger overall value. The Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed is the better choice only if you have a strong preference for that brand's specific feel or design.
Layla Memory Foam vs Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed: What Actually Differs
The Layla Memory Foam is a memory foam build, while the Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed is a smart bed — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Layla Memory Foam stands 10.5" tall versus 8" for the Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed — a 2.5" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. Both sit at roughly 5.5/10 on the firmness scale — a medium feel — so neither one is the answer if you need a dramatically different support level. The single largest performance gap is in motion isolation: the Layla Memory Foam rates noticeably higher than the Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed, which is the deciding factor if that dimension is high on your list. Queen pricing lands within $40 of each other ($949 vs $909), so price is essentially neutral — pick on feel and features rather than budget.
Which Is Better For Your Sleep Style?
Higher pressure-relief rating, which is what protects hip and shoulder contact points in the side position.
Firmness of 5.5/10 is closer to the medium-firm sweet spot back sleepers need for lumbar support (vs 5/10).
Firmer at 5.5/10 vs 5/10 — stomach sleepers need the extra support to keep the pelvis from sinking and arching the lower back.
Cooling rating not available for one or both mattresses — spec not available.
stronger perimeter / edge support — the two specs heavier sleepers should weight most.
Softer at 5/10 vs 5.5/10 — lighter sleepers compress less, so they typically need the softer of two options to get proper contouring.
Higher motion-isolation rating, which means less disturbance when a partner moves or gets out of bed.
