How the construction changes the sleep experience
The useful question is what the materials and feel change for the sleeper. Here is the practical case for this exact model, along with the trade-offs to weigh.

Nest Starling is a 12.5-inch all-foam mattress with two inches of Energex and 1.25 inches of slow-response Memory Foam above convoluted support foam. Reverse the internal comfort-layer order to change the feel; the current mattress is not an elastic polymer-grid design.

- ✓The disclosed two-inch Energex and 1.25-inch memory-foam layers give a clear choice between a quicker response and a slower cushioning feel
- ✓Convoluted support foam and perimeter foam wedges provide a disclosed all-foam support design without springs
Who benefits most
Side sleepers
Cushioning at the shoulder and hip matters most; use the listed feel to judge how much give you want.
Back sleepers
Balanced contouring and surface support matter more than an especially deep or plush sink.
Pressure relief shoppers
The comfort layers should spread pressure without letting the body sink farther than preferred.
Nest Starling specs and fit
Change the foam order to refine an all-foam feel
Starling is a 12.5-inch all-foam mattress with two inches of Energex and 1.25 inches of titanium- and graphite-infused slow-response memory foam above convoluted support foam. The current construction is foam, despite the legacy 'grid' wording in its merchant address.
Match the construction to your preferences
The two comfort foams provide different surface responses. Nest says placing slow-response memory foam on top increases softness, while placing Energex on top increases firmness and responsiveness. Consider it if you want to experiment within that foam comfort range rather than commit to one layer order. The convoluted support layer has cut channels and foam edge wedges; it is not an elastic polymer grid or a pocketed-coil system. Choose a hybrid instead if spring response is a priority.
How you can change the feel
Open the zippered cover and reverse the internal comfort-layer order to change the feel. Do not turn over the whole mattress as you would Raven. Qualifying Starling purchases include one Lifetime Renewal Exchange (LRE) for a comfort layer during the trial or later. A full mattress exchange uses that benefit and does not create another free renewal.
A reversible layer order is not unlimited firmness customization: the same two foams remain inside. Deep foam cushioning can still feel warmer or slower to move on than you expect. The named cooling materials and airflow channels do not prove an independently measured temperature reduction.
Materials and performance expectations
Starling uses a THERMIC phase-change cover and CertiPUR-US certified foams. Titanium and graphite are foam infusions, not evidence of a separate grid layer. Foam certification does not mean the whole mattress is organic or emission-free.
SleepRanked has not hands-on tested cooling, pressure relief, motion transfer or durability. Fit observations are construction-based expectations, not measured outcomes or health promises.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- + Reversing the internal comfort-layer order lets you try Energex or slow-response Memory Foam nearest the surface without flipping the whole mattress
- + The disclosed two-inch Energex and 1.25-inch memory-foam layers give a clear choice between a quicker response and a slower cushioning feel
- + Convoluted support foam and perimeter foam wedges provide a disclosed all-foam support design without springs
- + A zippered comfort system and one Lifetime Renewal Exchange for qualifying purchases allow an eligible layer renewal during the trial or later
Cons
- - The same two comfort foams remain inside, so changing layer order is a limited feel adjustment rather than unlimited firmness customization
- - There is no pocketed-coil unit or elastic polymer grid; choose a hybrid if spring response is a priority
- - Foam infusions, the phase-change cover and airflow channels do not guarantee a measured cooling benefit or prevent a warm foam cradle
- - Lifetime Renewal Exchange is one-time, a full mattress exchange consumes it, and the original-delivery trial clock does not restart
