W1.27 vs W2.15: Which Wright Mattress Is Right for You?

Wright Bedding makes two mattresses. The W1.27 ($1,995 Queen) is an 11-inch all-foam mattress with a classic contouring memory foam feel and minimal motion transfer. The W2.15 ($2,155 Queen) is a 12-inch hybrid with pocket coils, more bounce, stronger edge support, and the coolest sleep of the two. Both are medium-firm and both come with the same 120-night trial and 15-year warranty, so the choice mostly comes down to feel, temperature, and about $160.

The two mattresses side by side

W1.27 Memory Foam W2.15 Hybrid
Type All-foam, 4 layers Hybrid (foam over pocket coils)
Height 11" 12"
Top layer 1.5" 3Below gel-infused memory foam (4 lb, 10 ILD) 1" 3Below gel-infused memory foam, copper-infused with an active thermaphase cooling surface
Transition layers 2" polymer-reinforced ZeroG (3 lb, 18 ILD) + 1.5" ZeroG (5 lb, 20 ILD) 2" ZeroG (3 lb, 18 ILD) + 1" ZeroG (5 lb, 20 ILD)
Base 6" base foam (1.8 lb, 30 ILD) 8" triple-zoned, triple heat-tempered pocket coils
Firmness Medium-firm Medium-firm
Feel Contouring, cradling Responsive, some bounce
Cooling Gel-infused cool-touch top, crosshatch-ventilated layers, mesh side panels All of that, plus a copper-infused thermaphase top and airflow through the coil base; sleeps cooler than all-foam
Edge support Good Stronger, with reinforced coil edges
Motion transfer Minimal Low, but coils add some bounce
Queen price $1,995 $2,155

How are they built differently?

Both mattresses start with the same idea: a 3Below gel-infused memory foam surface over ZeroG transition foam, tuned for the balance of comfort and support our sleep study pointed to. The difference is what sits underneath. The W1.27 rests on 6 inches of dense base foam. The W2.15 swaps that for 8 inches of triple-zoned, triple heat-tempered pocket coils with reinforced edges. Same design language on top, very different foundation below. You can see the full development story in Inside Wright's R&D.

What do they feel like?

The W1.27 has the feel people picture when they think of memory foam: you settle in and the mattress shapes itself around your shoulders and hips. It stays medium-firm, so you never feel stuck, but the character is calm and cradling. In our testing it suits about 90% of sleepers, whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, and whether you're heavier or lighter.

The W2.15 feels more like a great hotel bed, which makes sense, because it is one. The coils push back a little as you move, so it's easier to change positions or sit on the edge. If you've slept at the High Line Hotel in New York, you've slept on a W2.15. It's also our highest-rated bed: the W2.15 has higher customer ratings than any other mattress we've found, including Tempur-Pedic, Saatva, and Casper. We last re-checked in June 2026.

Which one sleeps cooler?

The W2.15. Both mattresses use 3Below gel-infused foam, crosshatch-ventilated layers, and breathable mesh side panels, and both are covered in a quilted top built for airflow. The W2.15 adds two things: a copper-infused top layer with an active thermaphase cooling surface, and an open coil base that lets air move through the whole mattress. If you run hot at night, that's your pick. The full breakdown is in How Wright Keeps You Cool.

Which has better edge support?

The W2.15, clearly. Its coil unit has reinforced edge support, so sitting on the side of the bed or sleeping near the edge feels stable. The W1.27 holds its own for an all-foam mattress, but foam edges will always compress more than reinforced coils. If you share a bed and use every inch of it, the hybrid earns its price difference here.

What about couples and motion transfer?

This is where the W1.27 wins. All-foam construction absorbs movement, so a partner turning over or getting up early barely registers on your side. The W2.15 is still quiet by hybrid standards, but coils are springier by nature. Light sleepers sharing a bed tend to prefer the W1.27; couples who prioritize edge room and cooling tend to go W2.15.

What do they cost?

So which one should you pick?

Pick the W1.27 if:

  • You love the contouring feel of memory foam
  • You share a bed with a restless partner and want minimal motion transfer
  • You want the lower price ($160 less in a Queen)
  • You use an adjustable base; the W1.27 works on any flat surface, including adjustable bases

Pick the W2.15 if:

  • You sleep hot; the copper-infused thermaphase top and coil airflow make it our coolest mattress
  • You want bounce and an easier time changing positions
  • Edge support matters, whether for sitting or sleeping near the side
  • You want the bed boutique hotels chose for their guests

Either way, the trial takes the risk out. You get 120 nights at home, and if it's not right, we pick it up free and refund you in full. How that works: Trial, Warranty, and Delivery, Explained.

Frequently asked questions

Are the W1.27 and W2.15 the same firmness?

Yes, both are medium-firm. The difference is character: the W1.27 contours and cradles, while the W2.15 is more responsive with some bounce from its pocket coils.

Is the W2.15 worth the extra money?

If you sleep hot or care about edge support, yes. The W2.15 adds a copper-infused thermaphase cooling top and an 8-inch zoned coil base with reinforced edges for $160 more than the W1.27 in a Queen.

Which Wright mattress is better for couples?

Light sleepers usually prefer the W1.27 because its all-foam build keeps motion transfer minimal. Couples who want cooling and strong edges usually prefer the W2.15.

Which mattress do Wright's hotel partners use?

The W2.15 hybrid is installed in Wright hotel partners, including the High Line Hotel in New York City.
