Best Mattress for Menopause

The Awara Natural Hybrid Mattress combines natural Dunlop latex with a sturdy pocketed coil core for a responsive, supportive feel. The sustainably sourced cotton and wool cover helps regulate surface temperature, which can be particularly helpful for those with menopause symptoms.

How Does It Feel?

The pocketed coil support core encouraged good spinal alignment for most of our testers, especially those weighing over 230 pounds. However, our side sleepers under 130 pounds felt they didn’t get enough pressure relief around the hips and shoulders.

Our tests also showed that the mattress stays quite cool. The cotton and wool cover naturally wicks away heat and moisture, while the pocketed coils circulate air throughout the core. The mattress is also very easy to move on without transferring much motion, making it a good fit for co-sleepers.

Why We Like It 

We found that the Awara Natural Hybrid Mattress provides notable pressure relief as well as good support. The responsive latex slightly contours the body, while the pocketed coil core minimizes deep sinkage. In addition, the breathable materials help prevent the uncomfortable heat retention common during menopause. The lengthy 365-night sleep trial and below-average price also make this mattress a great value.

The WinkBed is a durable hybrid available in four firmness levels: Softer, Luxury Firm, Firmer, and Plus. The quilted Euro-top cushions pressure points, while the zoned pocketed coil core evenly distributes body weight, making this a comfortable option for many sleepers regardless of weight or sleep position.

How Does It Feel?

The WinkBed’s sturdy hybrid construction supports a variety of sleep styles. Our testers who sleep on their side reported that the Softer and Luxury Firm models provided a comfortable amount of sinkage. Back and stomach sleepers preferred the contouring of the Luxury Firm and Firmer styles, though stomach sleepers over 230 pounds found that the Firmer model had less give. We also noted that the reinforced edges of the mattress prevented significant sagging, and the Tencel cover was soft and cool.

Why We Like It 

When experiencing menopause symptoms, finding a mattress that fits your specific needs is important. With its four distinct firmness options, the WinkBed can accommodate a variety of sleep positions and body weights. The quilted pillow-top cradles pressure points without increasing body heat, and the mattress’ robust edge support gives you room to get comfortable without experiencing sagging around the edges of the bed. Free shipping to the contiguous U.S. and a limited lifetime warranty are also great perks.

The 17-inch Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress has a plush comfort system that blends layers of natural wool, alpaca fiber, cotton, silk, mohair, microcoils, and Dunlop latex. These layers are reinforced by an 8-inch pocketed coil core to provide extra pushback to the lumbar region, giving this mattress a nice balance of pressure relief and support that could work well for those with menopause symptoms.

How Does It Feel?

This mattress’ thick comfort system allows you to sink in more deeply than the average hybrid. Our side sleepers under 230 pounds reported that this sinkage eased pressure points on the hips and shoulders. Our back sleepers under 130 pounds also enjoyed the deeper contouring. However, the plush surface was too soft for our stomach sleepers and for back sleepers over 130 pounds.

The pocketed coil core provides good bounce, while the plush comfort layers reduce motion transfer. This means that co-sleepers shouldn’t notice as much when their partner moves in bed.

Why We Like It 

Because they conform so closely to the body, plush mattresses can trap a lot of heat. However, we found that the Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress regulates temperature well. Its heat- and moisture-wicking materials can be especially welcome during hot flashes. Our tests also showed that the mattress excels at pressure relief, thanks to its substantial comfort system and zoned pocketed coil core.

Puffy’s Lux Hybrid is 12 inches thick with a medium (5) firmness level. Cooling Cloud memory foam, Plush Dual Cloud polyfoam, and Climate Comfort polyfoam form the comfort system. These conforming foam layers are designed to resist heat buildup and provide good pressure relief, which can be particularly helpful for those with menopause symptoms.

How Does It Feel?

The mattress’ moderate firmness provided a good balance of pressure relief and support for our side and back sleepers under 230 pounds. The medium (5) feel was sturdy enough to reinforce the midsection for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. However, our stomach sleepers over 130 pounds reported that the mattress was too soft to provide enough support.

Conventional memory foam tends to trap heat, but we found that the cooling gel infusions in the Puffy Lux offset this tendency. The mattress also transferred very little motion and was quiet when our testers changed positions.

Why We Like It 

Pressure relief is important for sleepers with back pain, and we found that the adaptive foams in the Puffy Lux Hybrid provided just the right amount of cushioning for most of our testers. The upper memory foam layer hugs the body without inhibiting movement, and it retains less heat than traditional memory foam. The strong motion isolation will also make this mattress a good option for those who share a bed.

Brooklyn Bedding’s Aurora Luxe is a hybrid mattress that comes in three firmnesses and incorporates cooling technology like phase change material (PCM), gel infusions, and open-cell foams. The comfort system combines responsive polyfoam and pressure-relieving memory foam, while the zoned pocketed coil core reinforces good spinal alignment.

How Does It Feel?

The medium firm (6) model worked well for most of our testers regardless of weight and sleep position. Its moderate contouring eased tension while limiting deep sinkage. The balanced support and pressure relief of the medium soft (4) version appealed to our testers weighing less than 130 pounds. Our stomach and back sleepers over 130 pounds appreciated the firm (7) model’s minimal contouring, and its sturdier surface also promoted even spinal alignment for side sleepers over 230 pounds.

Our tests showed that the mattress’ various cooling features were quite effective regardless of the firmness level. The GlacioTex cooling cover helped regulate surface temperature, while the open-cell foams circulated air throughout the comfort system.

Why We Like It 

We were impressed with the Aurora Luxe’s blend of cooling technology, pressure relief, and support. The adaptive polyfoam provided good spinal alignment, while the softer memory foam relieved tension. The combination of a cooling cover and open-cell foams also helped to regulate temperature, and the three firmness options make this hybrid a versatile choice.
