Aireloom mattresses are some of the most luxurious in the bedding market. They feature top-tier foams, meticulously crafted coils, springs, and stitches, and an upscale look and feel. The company divides its mattresses into five different collections, and this article will be looking at the Preferred Collection, which is a more affordable set of beds than some of Aireloom’s fancier options.
According to the company, they were inspired by the “simplicity and elegance of California living” to create this line. In fact, back in 2017, the line was redesigned to deliver an updated look on retail floors. It’s been described as a “freshened-up collection,” that features a newly designed plaid border fabric.
Let’s dive into the eight mattresses featured in this collection in our Aireloom Preferred Collection review to see if any sound up your bedroom alley.
The Preferred StreamLine Mattress collection is made of eight more affordable, but still high-quality beds from luxury brand Aireloom.

The Company: Aireloom
Before we spell out all the details of these eight mattresses, let’s take a step back to talk about Aireloom as a company, which has an elite and rich background. Aireloom was founded in the early 1940’s by King Karpen — Karpen was not a king, but he did create mattresses that were said to be for “royalty.” His mattresses were made with top-quality materials, like thick layers of silk, cashmere, wool, and cotton. It was marketed for Hollywood’s elite and soon nicknamed the “Rolls Royce” of mattresses. Aireloom ended up in the bedrooms of many celebrities and even made its way to the White House!
Aireloom was bought by Earl Kluft in 1992. Then, in 2015, the privately held global mattress manufacturer and retailer The Flex Group acquired E.S. Kluft & Co. Today, Aireloom is owned by a large corporation, yet still gives off the feeling you’re shopping from a small, artisanal brand.
Aireloom Preferred Mattress Collection
The collection we’re going to dive into today is Aireloom Preferred mattress collection, which includes three different categories with unique mattress within each:
Preferred Luxetop Designs™
- Luxetop™ | M¹ Micro Coils | Firm
- Luxetop™ | M¹ Micro Coils | Plush
- Luxetop™ | M² Micro Coils | Plush
Preferred Streamline Designs™
- Streamline™ | Plush
- Streamline™ | Luxury Firm
- Streamline™ | Extra Firm
Preferred Channel Streamline Designs™
- Channel Streamline™ | Plush
- Channel Streamline™ | Firm
All of these mattresses are unique, but the Preferred mattresses as a whole all feature Aireloom’s Tencel® New Age fabric, which is only used in a few Aireloom collections. Underneath the Tencel® is Celsion Latex to help you regulate heat and provide pressure relief. Let’s dive into how these mattresses are the same — and different — so you can have a better idea of what could be a good choice for you.
Preferred Luxetop™ Designs
Surface Materials
The quilt on the Preferred Luxetop™ mattress is the same quilt as the Streamline™ Designs surface materials. For this quilt, the top is a layer of Tencel® fabric, a sustainable fabric regenerated from wood cellulose that is known for being super soft and flexible, providing cooling support. Underneath this are layers of silk, wool, and HiLoft FR fibers. Then comes Aireloom’s Pillowflex™ layer, which is unique quilting foam that Aireloom claims is more resilient than other similar materials — used as an alternative to traditional quilting foams. This layer gives an extra feeling of plush and cushion. Then comes a layer of Plush Graphite foam for the plush mattresses in this collection; the firm beds will have a layer of Convoluted foam. All of these layers are held together by a stretchy and cool layer of cotton tricot backing.
Comfort Layer
Between the three mattresses in the Preferred Luxetop™ Designs, the difference in comfort layer is simply how thick each layer is, which will lead to different levels of thickness and support. The Luxetop™ M¹ Micro Coils – Firm will have the thinnest comfort layer and the Luxetop™ M² Micro Coils – Plush will be the thickest layer. The comfort layer itself is comprised of six layers; the top is a layer of CelsionPLUS™, which is a latex foam made it help your body maintain a consistent body temperature throughout the night. Underneath is an all-natural Talalay Latex, and below that is Aireluxe trademarked foam. Next comes eight pounds of cotton. Then we get to the coils. Depending on the mattress, the comfort layer will either have M2 or M1 microcoils, both with a 19 gauge. These microcoils are made from thin and flexible steel coils that offer additional pressure relief and resilience. These microcoils are placed above the “main” coil system. Last comes visco elastic memory foam for contouring qualities and deep pressure relief.
Support System
The support system for these mattresses includes a high-density encased perimeter support to help with edge support and to ensure you don’t feel like you’re falling off the bed. Then comes the Support-flex™ coils system, which are Individually wrapped coils that allow each coil to react independently of each other, helping to improve motion control. This all stays in place with 49 hand-tied outertufts. The full perimeter coil count is 1,052 coils for a King, and 842 for a Queen.
Box Spring
The box spring is on a V-Shaped Semi-Flex Grid foundation with metal corner guards. The box spring is available in 9 inches of five inches, depending on if you want a high or low bed profile. While you can use your own box spring, Aireloom highly recommends using theirs in order to ensure longevity. However, if you want to use your own, Aireloom says to make sure it’s in good condition, or else it may compromise the feel of your entire bed setup.
Preferred Streamline™ Designs
These mattresses will be very similar to the Luxetop™ Design collection. The biggest difference is the comfort layer, which is a little less complex, making these mattresses more affordable.
The Preferred StreamLine Mattress collection is made of eight more affordable, but still high-quality beds from luxury brand Aireloom.

Surface Materials
Like we mentioned above, the surface level for these three mattresses — the Streamline™ Plush, Luxury Firm, and Extra Firm — is the same as the Preferred Luxetop™ mattresses. The top is a layer of Tencel® fabric followed by layers of silk, wool, and HiLoft FR fibers. Next is the Pillowflex™ layer followed by either Plush Graphite foam or a layer of Convoluted foam. All of these layers are held together by a stretchy and cool layer of cotton tricot backing.
Comfort Layer
The comfort layer for these three mattresses will be comprised of a top layer of CelsionPLUS™, that latex foam that helps regulate body temperature and keep sleepers cool. Underneath is Aireluxe™ foam and an eight pound layer of cotton. The microcoils for this comfort layer vary slightly from the Luxetop™ mattresses; these are 17 gauge versus 19 gauge for the Luxetop™ Designs. A lower gauge will make the mattress feel more firm.
Support System
The support system for these mattresses start with the high-density encased perimeter support. Next is the support-flex coil system, which is the same gauge count as the Luxetop beds: 15 or 13 3/4 gauge individually wrapped coils. The full perimeter coil count is the same, too, coming is at 1,052 coils for a King and 842 for a Queen. The difference here is there are 36 hand-tied outer-tufts, compared to 49 in the Luxetop Design models.
Box Spring
The box spring is also the same; it’s on V-Shaped Semi-Flex Grid foundation with metal corner guards., and comes in a 9” or 5” profile.
Preferred Channel Streamline™ Designs
Surface Materials
The quilt for the Channel Streamline™ Design mattresses is very similar to the other two categories above. The only difference is there is no Pillowflex layer, so these beds won’t feel as plush and soft.
Comfort Layer
The comfort layer is also less complex, making these beds good options for people who need more firm support when they sleep. The top is 3.5 pounds of Airegelle™, an advanced gel, followed by a high-density, Aireluxe foam and a layer of memory foam.
Support System
Once again, the support system is near-identical for this category. What makes these mattresses different is there are 15 hand outer tufts, versus 36 and 49 in the other two models. The coil count is the same!
Box Spring
The box spring is on a V-Shaped Semi-Flex Grid foundation with metal corner guards and is available in a 9” or 5” profile.
Aireloom Preferred Mattress Collection Feel
The three different “categories” in this collection will feel pretty different. The first one we went through — the Luxetop™ Designs — will feel the most “luxurious” since it has the most complex comfort layer and has the most hand-tied outertufts. These mattresses also put the most emphasis on using both microcoils and different layers of foam and cotton, providing a true “hybrid” feel.
In general, hybrid beds are designed to offer the best features of springs and foam while minimizing their negative qualities. They’re less bouncy than innerspring mattresses but still designed to contour to the body like foam mattresses. They also do a good job at providing a cool sleeping surface, something memory foam doesn’t have the best reputation for. Read our best hybrid mattress page to learn more about hybrids as well as find some of our top picks in this style.
The Luxetop™ Designs and Streamline™ Designs mattresses both have a layer of Pillowflex™ to provide an extra cushioned and pillow-top feel. The Channel Streamline™ Designs mattress might be more simple than the other two, but still has layers of memory foam, silk, wool, and Talalay cotton. If you want something complex that still has the qualities of a sturdy and soft hybrid mattress, this might be a great option for you.
All three categories within this collection are designed to provide good edge support and minimize motion control.
Lastly, you can tell how soft or firm these mattresses will be based on its name. Here’s a breakdown of them all:
Aireloom Preferred Mattress Collection Vs. Others
All of these mattresses are hybrids, providing qualities that both hybrid and foam mattress are known for: pressure relief, high-response spring, and cooling qualities.
The hybrid mattress closest in feel — and price tag — to this Aireloom Preferred collection is likely the Beautyrest Black mattress, which has pocketed coil technology, luxury comfort foam, and memory foam. If you’re interested in the Luxetop Designs category, these mattresses will feel the most similar to Beautyrest.
If you want the feel of innersprings and memory foam, then check out Tomorrow Sleep, which is a hybrid bed with a memory foam comfort layer. If you want an Aireloom memory foam option similar to Tomorrow Sleep, then stick with the Luxetop™ or Channel Streamline™ Design mattresses. The Streamline™ Design mattresses are the only ones without a layer of memory foam.
Lastly, if you want a solid hybrid bed without a high price tag (this Aireloom collection is in the $2,000-$3,000 range) consider the DreamCloud which has both foam and wrapped coil components, or The WinkBed, which has a double coil construction.
