Glacier Mattress Review

About Glacier

Glacier Sleep launched in 2024 and brings a fresh emphasis on cooling, lumbar support, and eco-safe materials to the bed-in-a-box category. Proudly made in the U.S. and fiberglass‑free, Glacier mattresses integrate advanced proprietary technologies—like glacierTECH™ cooling covers, ChiroZONE™ quilting, and CarbonICE™ memory foam—to elevate overnight comfort and spinal alignment. There’s more than one reason Glacier mattresses are at the top of our Best Value and Best Cooling mattress categories.

The Original Hybrid reigns as Glacier’s entry-level model with its 12″ profile combining cooling cover, gel/graphite memory foam, ARCFlow® airflow layer, and individually wrapped coils. Stepping up, the Summit Hybrid adds a pillowtop and extra cooling fibers for a plusher feel. The flagship Apex Hybrid further enhances this build with copper-infused foam, deeper memory foam layers, and the top-tier glacierTECH Elite cover for maximum cooling and pressure relief.
