I fear the Panda Hybrid Bamboo is playing games with me. When I first tried this mattress last year, it was among the firmest of all contenders in my mission to discover the best mattress. It was great-looking, easy to handle, and firm. Several months later, it’s great-looking, easy to handle, and … soft?
Not quite. But Panda’s mattress is a fine example of what happens to memory foam after you’ve slept on it for a few months. The initially solid sleeping surface adapts to your body, becoming softer and cosier. My tests with weights reassured me that the mattress was still supportive and not sagging, but it definitely wasn’t as firm as in those early weeks.
