The Best Flippable Mattress of 2025

“What I found unique about the Layla Mattress was the really distinct feel of the two different sides even though there’s a quality foam to offer cushioning on both sides. I preferred the softer side but liked having the option of flipping to a firmer feel.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Layla Memory Foam Mattress is a flippable all-foam bed with medium soft (4) and firm (7) sides. This model offers exceptional pressure relief for side sleepers without the heat buildup that’s common in memory foam mattresses.

Why We Like It

The removable cover is made of a breathable polyester, rayon, viscose, and poly-lycra blend. The medium soft side has a 3-inch layer of copper gel-infused memory foam designed to improve temperature regulation and reduce microbial growth. Underneath, a 2-inch layer of zoned polyfoam adds extra support below the hips and shoulders to encourage healthy spinal alignment. The polyfoam also has grooved channels to promote airflow. Our side sleepers under 230 pounds were most comfortable on this thick comfort system.

How Does It Feel?

On the firm side, a 1-inch layer of copper gel-infused memory foam provides pressure relief without too much sinkage. Our back and stomach sleepers of all weights appreciated this added support. The thinner comfort system also prevented our side sleepers over 230 pounds from sinking too deeply into the mattress.

A support core made of 4.5 inches of firm, high-density polyfoam adds durability and minimizes motion transfer. Partners who are sensitive to each other’s movements may prefer the medium soft side, although our testing showed that the firm side also effectively absorbed vibrations. Our team found it easier to move around and get in and out of bed on the firm side, but the medium soft side cradled testers’ shoulders and hips exceptionally well.

“Not many flippable mattresses are made with latex, which gives this mattress its notable bounce. That springy feel meant that I never felt trapped in the bed. Another huge plus for me was that both sides of this mattress stayed very cool through the night.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

The Latex for Less Mattress is a flippable all-latex model that comes in different profiles and firmness levels. This range of options makes it comfortable for a wide variety of sleepers, and at a significantly lower price-point than other latex models we’ve tested.

Why We Like It

The Latex for Less Mattress excels at temperature neutrality, which we attribute to the natural cooling properties of latex. The moisture-wicking wool on both surfaces acts as a fire barrier while also maintaining a cool surface. A breathable cotton cover encases the entire bed.

The latex carries certification from the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) while the wool and cotton are certified organic by the Global Organic Cotton Standard (GOTS). Sleepers who prioritize eco-friendly construction can rest assured this bed is made with sustainability in mind.

How Does It Feel?

The mattress is available in two profiles — 7 and 9 inches. Both have a reversible design with a medium (5) feel on one side and firm (7) feel on the other. The models are bouncy and responsive, due to the all-latex design, but the thicker options have an extra layer of latex that boosts overall support while enhancing contouring on the surface.

Side sleepers on our team preferred the thicker models since these offer stronger pressure relief for the shoulders and hips. Back sleepers generally preferred the firm side of both profiles, while stomach sleepers under 130 pounds gave highest ratings to the medium side. Sleepers over 230 pounds, regardless of sleep position, may prefer a mattress with a better mix of support and cushioning.

“I really liked the cushioning for my hips and shoulders, but the Amore Mattress really won me over with its motion isolation. It absorbs vibrations, so you barely feel a thing when someone moves on the other side of the bed.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

As you might expect, reversible mattresses cost more on average than single-sided models. The Copper 2-Sided Mattress from Amore Beds is a notable exception. With a sticker price that’s on par with the average all-foam mattress, we recommend this model if you’re shopping with a limited budget and hope to make a high-value purchase.

Why We Like It

Both sides of the mattress are designed for the same medium firm (6) feel. After testing it firsthand, our team members noted light contouring and sturdy overall support. Our side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and back sleepers up to 230 pounds were particularly impressed with the mattress’ balanced feel.

You can choose between profiles of 8, 10, or 12 inches. Each features the same general design consisting of memory foam comfort layers, polyfoam transitional layers, and a shared support core of high-density foam. We recommend the shortest profile for children, adults with mobility limitations, and anyone else who feels more comfortable getting on and off thinner mattresses. The 10-inch and 12-inch models offer slightly more cushioning, but our testing shows a consistent medium firm feel across all three profiles.

How Does It Feel?

Two covers are available. You can opt for organic cotton, a naturally soft and breathable material that can help offset uncomfortable heat retention from the foam layers. If you’re an exceptionally hot sleeper, the copper ion cover might be a better fit. The fabric is woven with copper fibers intended to dissipate body heat on contact, resulting in a cool and comfortable surface at all times. Neither cover affects the overall price-point.

During our hands-on tests, we’ve found that the Copper 2-Sided Mattress provides excellent motion isolation. The foam layers absorb movement and reduce motion transfer to a significant extent, making the mattress a good option for couples. The mattress also performed well when we tested it for pressure relief. Using body-mapping technology, we noticed minimal pressure buildup for most of the testers on our team.

“The DLX Classic has a balanced performance that I really appreciated. I could feel the two foam layers soften impact around my joints, but, at the same time, there was a degree of stability and bounce from the metal coils in the core of the mattress.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

While most reversible mattresses have a different feel on each side, the DLX Classic approaches this construction differently. Both surfaces share the same firmness level, but you can choose from medium soft (4), medium firm (6), or firm (8) designs based on your body type, sleep position, and personal preference.

Why We Like It

Excellent temperature control is a major strength we observed during our hands-on tests. Both the coil system and convoluted transitional layer promote steady internal airflow, so foams in the comfort system shouldn’t retain too much heat. The medium soft model absorbs movement well and alleviates pressure along the spine, while the firmer models performed better in testing areas like edge support and ease of movement.

Side and back sleepers under 130 pounds should enjoy the deep contouring and cushioning of the medium soft feel. Those who use these positions and weigh between 130 and 230 pounds — as well as stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds — will probably prefer the balanced feel of the medium firm design. If you weigh more than 230 pounds, chances are you’ll need the extra support and pushback of the firm feel.

Standout Features

The mattress is available in profiles of 12 and 14 inches. Both share the same general construction, but foam layers are slightly thicker for the 14-inch model. Two foam layers make up the comfort system. The first is adaptive with varying degrees of contour depending on which firmness you select, while the second is meant for transitional support and shouldn’t conform very much. Shared pocketed coils are located in the middle between the two comfort systems.

The Classic is very reasonably priced compared to other flippable hybrids on the market today, and DLX Mattress ships free of charge to customers in the contiguous U.S. Each order includes a 120-night sleep trial, and if you keep your mattress, it’s further backed by a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.

“Lying on the Raven feels like a gentle embrace with a bit deeper hug on the side with medium firmness. Something that stood out to me, though, was that the mattress slept cool even though it was contouring to hips, shoulders, and lower back.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Nest Bedding Raven is a foam hybrid that stands out from other reversible models by incorporating phase change material into its design. Apart from this cooling feature, the mattress is notable for combining gentle cushioning with sturdy support — an ideal design for promoting healthy spinal alignment.

Why We Like It

The Raven’s cover material is infused with phase change material (PCM), which is engineered to regulate temperature and prevent overheating on the surface. This helps minimize some of the heat retention that foam is known for. Airflow through the coils also plays a big role in maintaining temperature neutrality.

How Does It Feel?

The Raven is designed with a pocketed coil support core sandwiched between foam comfort layers. The softer side has a medium (5) feel, with a memory foam layer for comfort. The firmer side has a firm (7) feel with polyfoam as its comfort layer. Both sides feature polyfoam quilted into the polyester-spandex cover.

Side sleepers gravitated toward the softer side, since this group usually needs deeper cushioning for the shoulders and hips. Back and stomach sleepers will likely prefer the firm side, since these sleep positions require sturdier support. All sleepers over 230 pounds, regardless of sleep position, preferred the firm side.

“It’s right in the name, and when trying it in person, there’s no mistaking the firmness of this mattress. Personally, the extra firm side was too hard for me, but I can see why some people prefer it. On either side, this is a mattress that won’t sag, even around the edges.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

The majority of mattresses sold today fall between medium soft and medium firm, or a 4 to 6 on the firmness scale. This aligns with our industry research, which has found that most people value “balance” as one of the most important mattress qualities. However, there are certainly outliers who prefer their mattresses either very soft or very firm. If you’re looking for a very firm bed, the flippable, all-foam Plank Firm should suit your needs.

Why We Like It

One side of the mattress is considered firm (7). We noticed some light contouring on this side, which comes from padding material quilted to the cover and a comfort layer of TitanFlex foam. TitanFlex has a responsive feel that makes it closer to latex than memory foam in terms of support and bounciness. The opposite side is extra firm (9), and only has the padding material.

Our testing shows certain types of sleepers feel more comfortable on exceptionally firm mattresses than others. For instance, people who weigh more than 230 pounds typically need a mattress that won’t sink too much around the midsection and interfere with even spinal alignment. Testers on our team who fall into this weight group rated both sides of the Plank Firm as either good or excellent. The same holds true for most back and stomach sleepers, who generally need less cushioning and more support than side sleepers.

How Does It Feel?

The flippable Plank Firm is ideal for anyone who has struggled to find a mattress that feels supportive enough. Both sides feel exceptionally firm, and a lightweight design allows for easy rotations. If you enjoy sleep surfaces that feel flat as a board, then the extra firm surface should do nicely. We’ve tested very few mattresses that match the even support of the Plank Firm’s extra firm side.

People who sleep hot on foam are also good matches for this mattress. A firmer feel means less sinkage and more surface airflow, as evidenced by our temperature sensor readings. If you’re someone who sleeps very hot, you can order a PCM cooling panel to be sewn onto both sides of the Plank Firm. We tested models with or without the panel and both sleep reasonably cool, but the PCM panel offers a noticeable boost.
