About KOVA Core

Picking a KOVA Core model by feel

The easiest way into the Core range is to decide how firm you want the surface, then narrow by height and cooling. Core runs from very firm to genuinely plush, and the models are built differently enough that one visit usually settles it.

  • Firmest: the Atlas 14-inch hybrid pairs a 900-coil pocketed unit with 5-zone ergonomic reinforcement and an Ice-Tech quilted cover. It is the Core model we show back and stomach sleepers first, alongside our wider range of firm mattresses for stomach sleepers.
  • Firm with a lower profile: the Ridge 11-inch hybrid uses a heavy-duty coil unit of up to 960 coils with reinforced edges under a cotton knit cover, which suits standard-height frames and platform beds.
  • Balanced medium: the Cove 13-inch euro-top adds copper-infused memory foam over the same reinforced coil system, and the Ice-Tex 12-inch hybrid puts a cooling Ice-Tex knit cover over more than 960 coils for shoppers who sleep warm.
  • Softest: the Solis 15-inch plush euro-top and the Aurora ET 13-inch euro-top hybrid, with its Ice Knit cooling cover, give at the shoulder and hip, which is why they sit near the top of our list of mattresses for side sleepers.

The simplest beds in the range

Not every bed needs a coil unit. The KOVA Basic is a 7-inch mattress with a firm, high-density foam core, made for spare rooms, bunk beds and short-term use, and it comes in Twin, Full, Queen and King. The Milan is an 11-inch firm innerspring with a euro-top profile and a gray cotton cover, a dependable choice for a guest room or a first apartment. Both regularly show up among our mattresses under $1,000, along with several of the Core hybrids.

Core or Lux?

If you like the idea of KOVA but want gel or graphite cooling foams, wool-quilted tops or an all-foam option in four feels, take a look at the KOVA Lux collection. A good test is to lie on one Core and one Lux model with the same firmness, back to back, and decide whether the upgrade is worth it to you. Several Core models, including the Ridge, Cove, Ice-Tex, Aurora ET and Milan, are also offered in California King and Split King, which matters if you are pairing the mattress with an adjustable base.

Questions, answered

What is KOVA Core?
KOVA Core is the everyday tier of KOVA, Mattress On Demand's own store-exclusive mattress line, so a showroom is the only place to try it. It spans eight models: the 7-inch foam Basic and 11-inch firm Milan innerspring, the 11-inch Ridge and 12-inch Ice-Tex hybrids, the 13-inch Cove and Aurora ET euro-tops, and the 14-inch Atlas and 15-inch Solis hybrids.
Is KOVA Core a good choice for a guest room, a dorm or a first apartment?
Yes, and that is what the Basic 7-inch foam and the Milan 11-inch firm innerspring are built for: a real mattress at the entry of the range for a guest room, a dorm or a first place. If the bed will be slept on every night instead, the Ridge or Ice-Tex hybrids step you up to a proper pocketed coil unit.
Which KOVA Core model is firm, and which is plush?
Firm runs through the Milan 11-inch innerspring, the Ridge 11-inch hybrid and the Atlas 14-inch hybrid. The Cove 13-inch euro-top is the medium, and the Solis 15-inch plush euro-top is the softest in the tier. The Basic 7-inch foam, Ice-Tex 12-inch and Aurora ET 13-inch carry no firmness label, so they are worth lying on in the showroom.
Can I buy KOVA online, or only in store?
KOVA is store-exclusive, so our Richmond, Katy and Rosenberg, TX showrooms are the only places to lie on one before you buy. A Certified Sleep Science Coach can compare Core models against each other and against the national brands we carry, side by side in the same visit.
What sizes does KOVA Core come in?
Every Core model is offered in twin, full, queen and king. Twin XL is available on all of them except the Basic 7-inch foam, and the Milan, Ridge, Ice-Tex, Cove and Aurora ET add California king plus a split king for adjustable bases.
Does KOVA Core come with the same warranty as the brand-name mattresses?
Yes, KOVA carries exactly the same cover as the national brands we sell: our Limited Lifetime Warranty and our 365-Night Comfort Guarantee. The Comfort Guarantee gives you a 30-night adjustment period and then an exchange within 365 nights of delivery, one exchange per customer, for a model of equal or greater value.
What is the difference between KOVA Core and KOVA Lux?
Core is the everyday tier and Lux is the upgrade, where the materials step up. Core covers the full range of feels on standard foams and coil units, while Lux adds gel memory foam in the Arc Chill and Arie Chill hybrids, a wool-quilted cooling top on the Copper Lux, and graphite-infused memory foam in the KOVA Graph. Both are showroom-only.
