The Best Mattress for Snoring

“It’s hard to beat the personalized comfort of the Solaire since you can change the firmness with a touch of a button. That makes it great for adapting to your body when taking other steps to stop snoring, such as using an adjustable frame or sleeping on your side.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

Why We Like It

The Solaire brings customization to the next level with 50 firmness levels and dual-side adjustability for larger sizes. Memory foam and latex layers give the surface more cushioning and contouring compared to the average airbed mattress.

The support core features vulcanized rubber air chambers that are about 6 inches thick. A multidirectional baffle box construction disperses air evenly for consistent support. Vulcanization hardens the rubber in order to improve the core’s durability. The chambers are encased in foam, which strengthens edge support while also concealing the air inflator. The foam absorbs motion and sound well, so co-sleepers shouldn’t be disturbed as much by their partner’s movements.

At 13 inches thick, the mattress is a little taller than average. Sizes queen and larger have separately adjusting sides, which is ideal for couples with different preferences. Smaller sizes operate uniformly via a single remote.

Saatva’s Solaire Adjustable Firmness Mattress is designed with versatility in mind. You can adjust the firmness of the bed from soft (3) to firm (8), with 50 different feels in total. The mattress also pairs nicely with an adjustable bed frame, which can elevate the head and may reduce snoring.

The mattress features a soft Euro-top covered in breathable organic cotton. A 2-inch layer of plush polyfoam is quilted inside the cover for extra padding. The quilted surface is zoned to provide targeted support to the lumbar region, helping to boost pressure relief.

Next is a layer of Talalay latex that contours to the body without causing too much sink. Zoning delivers variable support, depending on where your weight is concentrated, while tiny perforations are engineered to promote breathability. A layer of memory foam cradles sleepers to ease tension. Gel infusions are designed to offset heat retention that can occur due to the foam’s close hug. A barrier layer of PVC sheeting and polyfoam below is meant to protect the air chambers from moisture damage.

“I loved the balance of comfort and sturdy support from the GravityLux. I found the medium firm model to be best for side sleeping, which is the position that really cuts down on my snoring.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

Why We Like It

The WinkBeds GravityLux builds on the standard memory foam mattress with a zoned layer to prevent excessive sinkage around your heavier areas. Three firmness options ensure that most people can find a comfortable design regardless of their body type or sleep position.

Mattresses that deliver top-notch lumbar support can also help manage snoring by promoting good sleep posture. The WinkBeds GravityLux uses both plush and firm foam layers to balance pressure relief with stability. This combination can be beneficial for snorers and people with back pain. The versatile model comes in three firmness levels: medium soft (4), medium (5), and firm (7).

The mattress has a soft and breathable Tencel cover derived from eucalyptus. A 2-inch layer of gel-infused polyfoam is quilted inside the cover for extra padding. Next is AirCell memory foam, which molds to the unique contours of your body for targeted pressure relief. The foam has tiny air capsules designed to enhance breathability while also limiting motion transfer.

A transitional layer of zoned polyfoam gives sleepers extra support where weight is concentrated. The heavier lumbar region receives greater pushback, while the legs and shoulders receive more give and gentler cradling. A final base layer of high-density polyfoam stabilizes the upper layers. The mattress has a total height of 12 inches.

We found the medium soft (4) model best suited to people under 130 pounds, particularly side sleepers. The side and back sleepers on our team weighing 130 to 230 pounds felt comfortable on the medium (5) model, as did stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. The firm (7) option received favorable ratings from our stomach and back sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds, as well as side sleepers over 230 pounds.

“The Nectar Luxe won me over by keeping vibrations isolated to just one side of the bed. For me, that meant virtually no disruption when my bed partner moved around. The mattress itself is also really quiet, even when you get in or out of bed.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

Why We Like It

We found the Nectar Luxe especially well suited to side sleepers due to its close, even contouring and deep cushioning for the shoulders and hips. The mattress also limits heat retention with cooling components near the surface and absorbs most movement to significantly reduce motion transfer.

Nectar’s Luxe Mattress features a thick memory foam comfort layer that provides excellent pressure relief. By cushioning pressure points around the hips and shoulders, this all-foam model can help snorers who are trying to make the change to side sleeping. The high-density support core reinforces good sleep posture, which in turn may help regulate snoring by keeping airways open. The mattress has a moderately firm feel that rates as a 6 on our 10-point firmness scale.

The mattress’ quilted cover has cooling fibers designed to disperse heat. Below is a thick layer of plush memory foam that cradles pressure points along the spine. The layer is infused with phase change material designed to draw in and release body heat.

A layer of transitional polyfoam redistributes body weight in order to maintain the natural curve of the spine. The base is composed of sturdy, high-density polyfoam. Completing the mattress is a non-slip base cover for extra stability. The mattress measures 14 inches thick, so it may require fitted sheets with deep pockets.

“The adaptive foams in the Helix Midnight Luxe did an awesome job of cushioning my lower back, hips, and shoulders. That helped me sleep comfortably and stay on my side so that my snoring was dramatically reduced.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

Why We Like It

The Helix Midnight Luxe combines foam layers on top with a sturdy coil support core on the bottom. The foam conforms closely enough to your body to cradle pressure-prone areas but the coils prevent your body from sinking in too deep. Side and back sleepers up to 230 pounds gave the bed especially high marks, since the bed offered just enough cushioning for the shoulders, hips, and spine, but still kept the lumbar area in a neutral position.

How Does It Feel?

The Midnight Luxe has a medium firm (6) feel with impressive cushioning on the surface, thanks to the adaptive foam layers and zoned coils that push back against your midsection. The foam not only relieves pressure buildup, it also absorbs noise and makes for a quieter sleep experience for those sensitive to creaky beds at night. Airflow through the coils helps keep heat retention at bay, but you can also upgrade to a cover made of phase change material if you tend to overheat during sleep.
