The MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid is built around one clear reason to buy: it pairs a plush, body-contouring comfort stack with a serious cooling story. Copper-infused AeroFusion Memory Foam, ActiveTemp phase change material, and a breathable knit cover all aim at the same problem, namely sleepers who overheat on ordinary memory foam. Underneath sits a 6 inch pocketed coil unit with foam encasement, so you get the cushioning of foam with the push-back of springs. The listed price is **$2,499.00 USD**, and the model ships in two firmness versions, 1.0 Firmer and 3.0 Plusher. If you sleep hot and want a deep, cushioned feel rather than a firm platform, this is the MLILY hybrid aimed at you.

Who is the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid for?
This mattress targets hot sleepers who like a plush, cushioned surface and want pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. The comfort stack is built around memory foam, so the feel is one of sinking in rather than resting on top. Side sleepers and combination sleepers who prefer softness should feel at home here, especially in the 3.0 Plusher version. The 1.0 Firmer version exists for buyers who want the same cooling construction with a more supportive, less enveloping surface.
It also suits shoppers who value a hybrid build. The 6 inch individually pocketed spring layer gives the mattress a responsive core, and the foam encasement around the coil unit defines the perimeter. If you want an all-foam bed, this is not it; the springs are a defining part of the design.
Two groups get the most out of this model. The first is the sleeper who has tried standard memory foam and woke up warm, since the Midnight ICE layers cooling elements at every level of the comfort stack rather than relying on a single gel pad. The second is the shopper who wants a soft surface but still wants the push-back of coils underneath, which is exactly the balance a hybrid is designed to strike. Buyers who can try the mattress in person before ordering also gain an advantage here, because MLILY works with a network of over 1,500 retail partners where every comfort level can be tried side by side with a trained sleep specialist.

How does the cooling construction work?
The cooling story runs through four separate elements. The knit cover breathes so airflow creates a cooling sensation at the surface. Beneath it, 1.5 inches of copper gel AeroFusion memory foam carries an ActiveTemp phase change material coating, which releases or absorbs body heat to regulate passive temperature during sleep. The next layer, 2.5 inches of gel AeroFusion memory foam, uses micro-channels to optimize airflow and temperature regulation. Finally, the fabric wrapping on each pocketed spring improves airflow through the coil unit itself.
Phase change material is the most distinctive piece here. MLILY describes it as a coating on specialty foams that helps promote deeper sleep without interruption by tracking the body’s natural temperature cycle, which drops to induce sleep and rises to wake you up. Combined with the copper infusion and the gel foams, the design is clearly oriented toward sleepers who run warm on standard memory foam.
What separates this from a single-feature cooling mattress is the layering. The cover handles the first contact, the copper gel foam handles the layer closest to the body, the micro-channeled gel foam handles the middle of the comfort stack, and the coil fabric handles the support core. Each element addresses heat at a different depth, which is a more complete approach than a cooling cover alone.
What is the feel and support like?
The feel is plush and contouring. MLILY positions Midnight ICE as a step up in cushioning from the original Midnight, adding two inches of plush foam for enhanced pressure relief and body-contouring support. Memory foam dominates the upper comfort stack, so expect a hugging sensation rather than a floating one. The 2.5 inch Gentle Flex foam layer adds a durable, breathable, elastic base that resists permanent deformation while providing the firmness the support core needs.
The 6 inch pocketed coil unit is the backbone. MLILY manufactures its own springs, and the pocketed design lets the mattress be rolled and compressed for shipping while still supporting and conforming to the body. The foam encasement around the coil system firms up the perimeter. Two firmness versions let you choose your position on the softness scale: 1.0 Firmer for a more supportive feel, 3.0 Plusher for maximum cushioning.
Because both versions share the same seven-layer structure, the difference between them is one of degree rather than kind. The 1.0 Firmer keeps the cooling build intact while giving sleepers more resistance under the hips and shoulders, which suits back sleepers and anyone who wants cushioning without a deep sink. The 3.0 Plusher leans further into the enveloping memory foam feel and suits side sleepers who need the surface to give way at the shoulders.

Who should NOT buy the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid?
Skip this mattress if you want a firm, on-top-of-the-bed feel. Both firmness versions are built around a plush comfort stack, and the 3.0 Plusher in particular is designed for deep cushioning. Stomach sleepers who need a rigid surface to keep the hips aligned, or anyone who dislikes memory foam’s hug, should look elsewhere in the MLILY range or at a firmer innerspring. Also pass if you need a size outside Twin XL, Queen, King, and California King, since those are the configurations listed for this model. Finally, if your budget sits well below $2,499, this is a premium-tier pick within the MLILY lineup rather than a value play.
Shoppers who prioritize an at-home trial above all else should also weigh the buying path carefully. MLILY’s Midnight ICE listing centers on free shipping and a retail partner network rather than an at-home trial, so the try-before-you-buy route runs through a store rather than your bedroom. If lying on the mattress in your own sleep position for several weeks is non-negotiable, that is a meaningful difference in how you will evaluate the purchase.
How does it compare to the Saatva Classic?
Both are coil-based mattresses with premium positioning, but they solve different problems. The Midnight ICE Hybrid is a cooling memory foam hybrid with a plush, contouring feel and phase change material in the comfort layer. The Saatva Classic is an innerspring with a 3 inch Euro pillow top, a dual-coil design using over 1,000 recycled carbon steel coils in full size and up, and three comfort levels rated 3/10, 5 to 7/10, and 8/10. Saatva pairs its mattress with a 365-night home trial, free white-glove delivery including in-room setup and old mattress removal, and a lifetime warranty.

World Sleep Almanac score: 7.2/10
The World Sleep Almanac editorial score is our own rating, judged on five criteria and explained in one line each. It is not a lab test.
- Cooling materials and construction: 8/10 copper gel memory foam, ActiveTemp PCM, a cooling knit cover, and airflow through the pocketed coils give this model one of the more layered temperature stories in its class.
- Firmness choice: 7/10 two versions, 1.0 Firmer and 3.0 Plusher, cover a useful range, though both sit on the plush side of the scale.
- Price at size parity: 6/10 the $2,499.00 USD listing is a premium figure, and it is a single listed price rather than a size-by-size ladder.
- Materials and construction: 7/10 seven named layers, a fiberglass-free flame barrier, and a brand that manufactures its own pocketed springs.
- Retail access and support: 7/10 over 1,500 retail partners for an in-person try, plus the same MLILY warranty wherever you buy.
Verdict: the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid is a plush, cooling-focused hybrid for sleepers who run warm and want a contouring memory foam feel over pocketed coils, with two firmness versions to choose from. Shoppers who want a home trial, an innerspring feel, and free setup should look at the Saatva Classic instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid good for hot sleepers?
It is built specifically for that problem. The cooling design runs through a breathable knit cover, 1.5 inches of copper gel AeroFusion memory foam with ActiveTemp phase change material, 2.5 inches of gel AeroFusion memory foam with micro-channels for airflow, and fabric wrapping on each pocketed spring that improves airflow through the coil unit. Four separate elements address heat at different depths of the mattress rather than relying on one feature.
What is the difference between 1.0 Firmer and 3.0 Plusher?
Both versions share the same seven-layer structure and the same cooling construction, so the difference is softness rather than temperature control. The 1.0 Firmer gives more resistance under the hips and shoulders and suits back sleepers who want cushioning without a deep sink. The 3.0 Plusher leans further into the enveloping memory foam feel and suits side sleepers who need the surface to give way at the shoulders.
Does the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid have springs?
Yes. The support core is 6 inches of individually pocketed springs with foam encasement, sitting above 1.5 inches of Flex Support base foam. MLILY manufactures its own springs, and the pocketed design allows the mattress to be rolled and compressed for shipping while still supporting and conforming to the body. The foam encasement firms up the perimeter.
Is there fiberglass in this mattress?
No. The flame barrier is listed as a fiberglass-free FR inner cover, described by MLILY as a safe and effective flame-retardant layer without the disadvantages of fiberglass and other fire-retardant chemicals.
Which sizes does the Midnight ICE Hybrid come in?
The listed configurations are Twin XL, Queen, King, and California King, each available in 1.0 Firmer or 3.0 Plusher.
Can I try the MLILY Midnight ICE Hybrid before buying?
MLILY works with a network of over 1,500 retail partners where you can lie on every comfort level side by side with a trained sleep specialist. The same MLILY warranty applies wherever you buy, whether through a retail partner or the brand’s own store page.
