Siena is a sister brand to big names in the mattress world, like Nectar and DreamCloud. All of the beds in its collection have one thing in common—affordability. Take the Siena 10” Signature Memory Foam Mattress, which is just $359 for a queen. That alone piqued our interest, but to see if there’s more to the Siena than a budget-friendly price tag, the Mattress Clarity team performed a series of tests aimed at identifying its strengths and weaknesses.
As a group, we’ve tested over 500 mattresses and more than 150 sleep accessories. In 2024 alone, our mattress reviews helped some 5,900 people find a new bed. We used that experience and expertise, plus added insight from Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, to evaluate the Siena 10” Signature so we can make recommendations about the kinds of sleepers who might find it most comfortable.
Mattresses with very low price tags aren’t always known for their materials and construction, but the Siena 10” Signature surprised us with its overall performance. The memory foam layers offered excellent motion isolation, but still managed to stay comfortably cool. Memory foam has a tendency to trap heat, so this temperature regulation was a little unexpected. Ultimately, we found the value-priced Siena 10” Signature to be a good fit for most back sleepers and fans of a firmer memory foam feel.
The Siena Original Mattress delivers budget-friendly, all-foam comfort with medium firmness, great for back and side sleepers seeking value. Learn more in our video review.
Siena Mattress Performance: My Overall Rating
All of our mattress reviews use the Mattress Clarity testing methodology. It’s how we evaluate the individual performance metrics, materials and construction, and overall buying experience of all the beds we test. The Siena mattress ultimately earned 4.1/5 stars, with high scores in motion isolation, pressure relief, and cooling. The lowest scores came in edge support and responsiveness, but that’s pretty typical for mattresses made without coils.

I Recommend the Siena Mattress For…
- Value shoppers – The Siena Signature is very economically priced, so it could be a great choice for those who are shopping on a tight budget.
- Back and side sleepers – This slightly firmer-than-average memory foam bed tested really well for back and side sleeping, with plenty of contouring in its layers of foam to cradle the hips and shoulders and fill in the lumbar zone.
- Fans of a classic memory foam feel – It’s a memory foam mattress, and it has the signature hugged sensation of beds twice its price.
I Don’t Recommend the Siena Mattress For…
- Certain stomach sleepers – While the Siena 10” Signature seems to have the necessary support, its firmer feel may not appeal to stomach sleepers who prefer more softness in the chest area.
- Combination sleepers – The slow-moving foam in this bed has a quicksand consistency that doesn’t lend well to ease of movement or bounce, so combination sleepers are likely to find it’s a challenge to switch positions comfortably.
- Most heavyweight sleepers – At just 10 inches tall, sleepers with more weight are going to sink in more deeply and run into the support layers. That can pose some comfort concerns. We also wonder about the longevity of the Siena 10” Signature under higher body weights. A mattress designed to accommodate the needs of heavier sleepers is probably going to be the better choice.
How Firm Is the Siena Mattress Mattress?
Siena doesn’t use a firmness rating for its Siena 10” Signature, instead describing a medium-firm “sweet spot.” Mattress Clarity tester Livvi DiCicco spent some time considering the bed’s feel on her back, side, stomach, finding that it veered slightly firmer than a true medium-firm. Since firmness is subjective and dependent on factors like body weight and sleep style, we use a firmness scale of 1 to 10. A lower number indicates softness, while a higher number means a firmer feel.
“This bed has a super dense feel,” Livvi said. “You can feel a bit of cushioning, but you’re almost immediately greeted by a firmer foundation. You sink in more the longer you lie on it and get more pressure relief. On my side, my hips are lower than my shoulder, but it’s not causing me any pain or outward discomfort.” She rated it a 7/10 in this position.
Livvi gave the Siena 10” Signature the same firmness rating when she tested it on her back. “Back sleeping is great on this firmer mattress,” she reported. “Your butt sinks in just right so your body remains aligned. It’s super contouring, thanks to that dense memory foam feel. The gap in my lower back is completely filled in.”
When she flipped to her stomach, Livvi found the mattress felt even firmer. “I think this bed is plenty supportive for stomach sleepers; however, I’m well-endowed, and it’s a bit too unyielding in the chest area,” she explained. “If you have a larger bust, there might not be enough pressure relief in this area of the comfort layer, which could cause discomfort.” She rated the Siena Signature a 7.5/10 for stomach sleeping.

How Does the Siena Mattress Feel for Different Body Types and Sleeping Positions?
Beds can feel different to different people, and that’s because individual factors like body type and sleep style can affect how a mattress feels. For the most useful take on all the beds we test, we have Mattress Clarity testers from different weight classes assess the bed in different sleeping positions.
| Sleeper Weight | Side Sleepers | Back Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
| Light (under 130 lbs) | Good | Good | Good |
| Average (130-230 lbs) | Good | Excellent | Good |
| Heavy (over 230 lbs) | Good | Good | Unpleasant |
Heavyweight Tester – Over 230 lbs
“It’s a good budget mattress option for the price point,” said Matt Schickling. “It’s impressive for how cheap it is.”
Average-weight Tester – 130 to 230 lbs
“This bed has a super-contouring feel but also a strong support foam base, so you don’t sink in too far,” said Livvi DiCicco.
Siena Mattress In-Depth Test Results
Pressure Relief
Pressure relief is an important feature in a mattress because no matter how we sleep, certain parts of our bodies are under more stress and tension than others when we lie down. A mattress that absorbs this pressure well helps keep aches and pains from developing. Memory foam usually does the job nicely. It responds to heat and pressure to mold around the body’s curves, evenly distributing body weight. Our testers evaluated the Siena 10” Signature on their backs and sides to get a sense of its pressure relief, and it earned a relatively high average score of 4.1/5 stars.
Livvi is an average-weight sleeper between 130 and 230 pounds, and she gave the mattress 4 stars for its pressure relief when she lay on her side. “My hips definitely feel lower than my shoulders, but not in a way that I find uncomfortable. This bed has a super-contouring feel but also a strong support base, so you don’t sink in too far,” she said. It was an even better experience on her back. “My hips and butt are sinking in nicely, but not too far,” she explained. “Unlike how it was on my side, my shoulders feel in line with the rest of my body. I’d recommend this for back sleepers over side sleepers, but if you’re a combination sleeper, I think you’ll be comfy enough.” In this position, she gave the Siena Signature 5 stars.
Our heavyweight tester, Matt Schickling, fared a little better than expected on this bed, particularly given its 10-inch height. “On my side, I’ll still say it’s pressure relieving. My hips are sinking more than I want them to, and there’s more pressure on my shoulder, but not too much,” he reported. “It’s so foam-ish that it’s going to be decent for pressure relief. I’m noticing the lack of responsiveness in this bed more than anything.” He gave the bed 3.5 stars on his side.
Like Livvi, Matt’s experience improved on his back: “I feel like it contours quite nicely on my back.” But he added that he feels quite “stuck” in the Siena Signature. “If you love pressure relief while being in quicksand, then this is the bed for you,” he said. “I am currently making a Matt-sized mold in this bed, but I have no pressure points.”
Edge Support
Edge support describes the stability of a mattress along the sides compared to the center. When a mattress has good edge support, it means more room to spread out without worrying about sliding off. It’s also an important feature for those who have the kind of mobility issues that make it hard to get in and out of bed. Plus, according to Dr. Dasgupta, good edge support is a sign of a bed’s durability. All-foam beds don’t generally perform well in this category because they lack coils, and that was the case here. The Siena 10” Signature earned its lowest score with 3.2/5 stars based on three separate tests.
Livvi first assessed the mattress by sitting on the side with her feet on the floor. “There’s definitely a lot of sagging underneath my weight, but it doesn’t feel like it’s enough to make me slip or slide off,” she noted. “The mattress itself has a dense, squishy feel. It’s not super soft, so I think it holds its shape well even as it compresses. I’d say it’s great for a foam bed.” She gave the Siena Signature 4 stars.
Next, Livvi lay on the side of the mattress—and it quickly became clear that this was a little more precarious. “Surprisingly, I think it’s worse when I’m lying down. I feel like I’m slipping off a lot more,” she said, adding that it was likely related to how her body weight was distributed when she was lying down versus sitting down. “It’s especially noticeable on my back and side, lots of dipping beneath my hips,” she added. “It’s a little unnerving, and as someone who sleeps with one leg off the bed, I wouldn’t say it has the best edge support.” This time, Livvi gave the mattress 3 stars.
The third test involved placing weighted stacks on the side of the Siena Signature and using a ruler to measure the depth of collapse. We use three stacks that represent light, medium, and heavyweight sleepers. The bed sank 4 inches under the lightest stack, 5 inches under the medium stack, and 7 inches for the heavy stack, earning 4, 3, and 2 stars, respectively. It aligns with our overall impression that the edge support isn’t great on the Siena 10” Signature. And while that’s pretty typical of memory foam beds, it could be an issue for couples looking to maximize their sleep space.
Cooling
For all its benefits, memory foam isn’t known for its ability to sleep cool. But the Siena Signature surprised us, earning 4/5 stars in this category. Livvi used a thermal gun to take an initial surface temperature of 70.7 degrees. She spent seven minutes resting on the bed before taking a second reading. The all-foam mattress warmed by 5.9 degrees, which indicates pretty decent temperature regulation.
Livvi also assessed the bed while she lay on it. While she pointed out that the studio was cold on testing day, she didn’t feel the Siena Signature heating up beneath her. “It’s definitely not an actively cooling mattress, but I think it will remain pretty temperature neutral,” she said. “Perhaps the bed’s thinner profile is doing it some favors.” Still, she suggested that very hot sleepers might want to consider an innerspring or hybrid mattress for better airflow.
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation can be a really important feature for people who share their bed with any kind of partner (human, canine, or feline). According to Dr. Dasgupta, this feature describes a bed’s ability to keep movement from rippling across the entire surface, which can be the difference between a peaceful night or ongoing disruptions from a co-sleeper. Memory foam usually does an excellent job of dampening motion transfer, and we weren’t surprised when the Siena Signature got its highest score in this category with 4.67/5 stars.
Livvi began our motion isolation tests with the ripple test. She placed a glass of water on one side of the Siena Signature and then got in and out of bed on the side, observing how her movements affected the water. “The water barely moved when I got in and out of the bed, a sign of some pretty dang good motion isolation,” she reported. “The glass didn’t budge at all, compared to some jostling I’ve seen from other beds. It makes sense to me as this bed feels super dense and doughy.” She gave the mattress a full 5 stars for its performance here.
In test two, Livvi actively rolled around on the other side of the bed to see whether this type of movement affected the water. It did, but not by much. “There’s a bit more movement when I’m switching positions, but this is likely because I’m closer to the glass more than anything,” she said. “Any rippling is so minute I might’ve missed it.” Livvi gave the mattress 4.5 stars for this test.
For the third test, we replaced the water glass with a human partner. Livvi lay on one side of the bed while a teammate climbed in and out and rolled around on the other side. “You can hear your partner’s movements more than you can feel them,” she noted. “Smaller things like shifting and rolling were easily stifled. I could feel the bed dip and rise whenever Kenny got in and out of bed, but it felt far away. I’m an extremely light sleeper, so always take my rating with a grain of salt. But I think a lot of couples, light sleepers included, are going to be more than happy on this mattress.” For this test, Livvi gave the Siena Signature another 4.5 stars.
Response
The flip side of motion isolation is how well a mattress responds. Some people prefer a bed with enough bounce to comfortably change positions, but that ease of movement isn’t a hallmark of memory foam. This material has a slow-moving feel that hugs you closely, so the Siena Signature’s 3.5/5 stars in this category is actually a little higher than expected.
To test responsiveness, Livvi lay on the bed and switched between different sleeping positions to determine how easy or challenging it was. “The mattress has a super-doughy feel,” reported Livvi. “The top layer is more of that slow-moving, cushy memory foam, but the foundational layer(s) below it are a bit more sturdy. It causes some difficulty in moving around, especially rolling, but I wouldn’t call it impossible.” Still, she noted that combination sleepers will have to put in a bit more effort to change positions.
Sinkage: Light
To test sinkage on the Siena Signature, Livvi placed a 53-pound kettlebell in the center of the bed and used a ruler to measure how far it sank. It was 2.5 inches, which qualifies as low sinkage. That’s likely because this bed is on the thinner side at 10 inches, so you sink into the support layer more readily than you might on a thicker mattress.
Bounce: High
All-foam beds don’t generally get a high bounce score, but the Siena mattress did. Livvi bounced a weighted medicine ball from six feet up onto the center of the mattress, using a yardstick to see how far it went. It flew upward a full 18 inches, which qualifies as high bounce. Again, that’s likely because the ball rebounded off the sturdier support layer.
Noise
Foam beds aren’t always as silent as you’d think they’d be. The foam can make a slow hissing sound when it’s under pressure as air escapes. But the Siena 10” Signature fared pretty well. “This mattress is basically quiet,” Livvi said. “The cover makes some noise as it’s a little loose and shifts around as you move, but the actual mattress itself is pretty silent. I think with some thick sheets you won’t notice the cover shifting around.”
Sex
To calculate a score for sex, we average the scores from response, edge support, and noise. The Siena Signature ended up with 3.73/5 stars, which is decent. The best mattresses for sex tend to respond quickly, which better accommodates couples during their sexual activities, and keep them secure if those activities take them to the edges of the bed. The Siena Signature earned its lowest scores in these two categories, but it had a high noise score. While there are probably better mattresses for sex, this one shouldn’t be an outright hurdle to amorous activities.
Adjustable Base Compatibility
A lot of people need a mattress that works on an adjustable base, so we always test every bed to see how well it works with one. The Siena 10” Signature got 5/5 stars here. “Just like it conforms to your body, it’s malleable and works great, especially in the zero gravity position,” reported Livvi. She did notice that the foot of the bed didn’t sit quite flush with the base, but that’s pretty typical, since there isn’t a ton of weight on this end of the bed to weigh it down.
Siena Mattress Customer Experience Scores
Beyond how it feels and how it performs, there’s the actual buying experience that goes along with a new mattress. Here’s what to expect if you decide to move ahead with the Siena Signature.
Trial Period
Given the bargain basement price tag, Siena offers a pretty reasonable sleep trial. It’s 180 nights, which gives you six whole months to test it out. It’s not as generous as the 365-night sleep trials offered by other brands, but it’s still plenty of time to decide whether this bed is right for you.
Like most brands, Siena asks that you give the Signature a full 30 days before initiating a return. It can take some time to adjust to a new bed. If you don’t like it after that grace period, Siena returns are free within the 180-night trial unless you paid additional delivery charges to Alaska and Hawaii. Those fees won’t be included in your refund.
Warranty
Siena offers a straightforward 10-year warranty that covers manufacturer defects. On the surface, it doesn’t seem as generous as the limited lifetime warranties offered by other brands. But many of those offer prorated charges for replacements beyond the first 10 years, so it’s not as sweet of a deal as it seems. Siena’s warranty is reasonable given the materials and construction in the Signature.
Unboxing and Moving
Livvi had no issues opening the box and moving the bed. She said the rolled mattress slid right out when they turned the box over. She gave the Signature a full 5/5 stars here.
Readiness After Unboxing
Once we removed the plastic to this bed-in-a-box, the Siena began decompressing immediately. It’s technically ready to sleep on in just a few hours, but it can take up to 24 hours to fully expand so it’s best to give it a day before you hop in. Still, Livvi gave the bed another 5/5 stars.
Off-gassing
Memory foam usually has some degree of off-gassing, and that was the case here. “You can smell something when you shove your face into the mattress, but it isn’t too noticeable,” said Livvi. “Opening the bed didn’t cause a nice whiff of off-gassing, it was mild.” She gave the Siena Signature 4/5 stars.
Siena Mattress Construction
After all of our tests, we take a look at the materials behind the performance by cutting into the cover. It gives us a better idea of the layers and construction.
Mattress Height & Weight
The clue is in the name—the Siena 10” Signature is 10 inches tall. A queen size weighs 68 pounds.
Materials
The Siena 10” Signature has a simple four-layer construction that includes the top fabric and bottom cover. Instead are two memory foam layers—one for comfort and one for support.
Layers
The mattress has a breathable cover that Livvi found soft and sturdy. Below are two memory foam layers. “The first is a plusher, sparkly blue layer, which gives the bed its cushioning comfort,” said Livvi. “The second is a denser, squishy white layer, which makes up the bulk of the mattress and its support.” There’s also a durable outer cover around the sides and bottom.
The foams in the Siena Signature are CertiPUR-US certified, which means they’ve met high standards for materials, emissions, and product durability and performance. They’re also free of ozone depleters, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances.
How to Try and Buy the Siena Mattress Mattress
Siena mattresses are available on the company website at sienasleep.com or on Amazon. They aren’t available in brick-and-mortar stores, so there isn’t a way to see the mattress in person before purchase. That’s what the 180-night sleep trial is for!

Siena Mattress vs. Nectar Classic
The Nectar Classic is a memory foam model, but it has a more balanced foam feel than the Siena Signature. We think that makes it easier to move around and change positions, but those who prefer the classic slow-moving feel of memory foam will probably be happier with the Siena.
Both mattresses share a 7/10 firmness rating, making them a touch firmer than the industry standard medium-firm feel and good options for back sleepers. While the Nectar mattress is affordably priced, with a queen around $650, the Siena 10” Signature is priced much lower. On the other hand, the Nectar has a lengthy 365-night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty.
Siena Mattress vs. DreamCloud Mattress
The DreamCloud Classic Mattress is another memory foam pick, and it’s affordably priced with a queen retailing for $799. It has a trademarked CloudQuilt cover with cooling fibers, plus a five-layer construction that includes a contouring memory foam layer, an adaptive support layer, and a stabilizing foundation layer. That makes the DreamCloud two inches taller than the Siena.
The DreamCloud Classic has a firmer feel, closer to an 8/10 on the firmness scale, and we think it’s a good fit for back sleepers. But again, fans of a traditional memory foam feel will likely prefer the Siena Signature. It offers more pressure relief and contouring, so it’s a better choice for most side sleepers, too.
Siena Mattress vs. Awara Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress
The Awara Natural Luxury Hybrid Mattress is made with certified organic latex, which gives it a firmer, more responsive feel. We rated it an 8/10 on the firmness scale, and it earned 5 stars in responsiveness. The coils also contributed to enhanced edge support.
If you prefer the feel of memory foam, the Siena 10” Signature is the better option, but those who prioritize sustainability will appreciate the certifications of the Awara. They include Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Eco-Institut, and Wools of New Zealand.
Latex boosts durability, but it also adds to the bottom line. While the Awara is economically priced given its eco-friendly materials and construction, it’s still more expensive than the Siena. A queen Awara is $849 compared to $359 for the Siena. But like the Nectar, the Awara has a 365-night trial and a lifetime warranty.
