The Best Mattress of 2025

“It was hard for me to find fault with the Helix Midnight Luxe. It didn’t have any obvious weak points and to me just felt comfortable, cool, and sturdy.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

Why We Like It
Gentle contouring from the Midnight Luxe’s foam layers means most sleepers receive adequate cushioning without the deep “hug” that can occur with soft memory foam, and the zoned coils give the surface an inviting bounce when you get in and out of bed. This responsiveness helps you change sleep positions easily and move across the mattress.

Standout Feature
Temperature control is a defining quality of the Helix Midnight Luxe. Air circulates throughout the coil system to maintain a comfortable interior temperature for the mattress, while a breathable Tencel cover offsets heat retention from the foam layers. You can upgrade to a cooling cover made of phase change fabric if you tend to sleep excessively hot or sweat during the night.

The Midnight Luxe’s comfort system consists of two memory foam comfort layers over dense transitional polyfoam. These materials conform to your figure and alleviate pain and pressure in sensitive areas, but uncomfortable sinkage shouldn’t be an issue — especially if you primarily use the side or back sleep positions. Thick, multi-zone pocketed coils create a strong support system and add springiness to the surface.

“I loved the dependable edge support on the WinkBed, which meant I could sleep near the edge without feeling like I would roll off onto the floor. I found the firmness level of the Luxury Firm model to be just right.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

Why We Like It
We found that the Luxury Firm WinkBed performs well in areas where hybrids often fall short. One example is motion isolation, which we test by having two people lie side by side on each mattress. Neither tester noticed much motion transfer across the surface when the other person moved around on their side of the bed, so the mattress is a good option if you are easily awakened by your sleep partner’s movements at night. At the same time, the coils are responsive enough to create some bounce on the surface. Most of us were able to move across the mattress without sinking or feeling trapped.

Most of our testers found that the foam layers conform to the body without too much give or sinkage. We also noticed extra pushback around the midsection, where the coils are zoned to feel stronger. This pushback kept the back and stomach sleepers on our team from sinking too much around our lower back and hips – a common source of discomfort for people who use these positions. The Luxury WinkBed also excels in cooling thanks to the Tencel cover and a good amount of airflow through the coils.

“On the DreamCloud, I could feel the memory foam gradually contour to my hips and shoulders, letting me naturally settle into a comfy and supported posture.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid features a comfort system with two layers, beginning with gel-infused memory foam to give the surface a plush feel. Transitional polyfoam prevents your body from sinking too deeply into the mattress. We found that the combination of adaptive memory foam and responsive polyfoam results in noticeable cushioning without a lot of sinkage.

Individually pocketed coils make up the support core. These coils reinforce the bed well, especially beneath the torso and hips, but we didn’t notice too much motion transfer during our motion isolation tests.

Why We Like It
The DreamCloud Classic Hybrid provides a comfortable, balanced feel thanks to its plush cushioning layers and a strong support system. Hot sleepers, couples, and people with back pain can all benefit from the luxury hybrid design. Since the mattress is medium firm (6), the highest ratings came from side and back sleepers on our team.

Standout Feature
Temperature control is an area where the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid performs exceptionally well. This can be attributed to steady air circulation through the coils, as well as a breathable cover quilted with cooling fibers that helps the surface stay comfortable. Our temperature sensors picked up very little heat buildup.

“Unlike a lot of other foam beds I’ve tested, the CopperFlex Memory Foam Mattress wasn’t too soft. There was a light hug from the foam, but I never felt like I was being swallowed up by the mattress.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam is a standout mattress thanks to its sophisticated, six-layer design with plush comfort layers and a strong support system. A medium firm (6) model, the CopperFlex creates a comfy balance of cushioning and stability with zoned construction to keep your entire body on an even plane. During performance tests, our team was particularly impressed with the CopperFlex’s motion isolation, pressure relief, and temperature control – and the approachable sticker price should be a major selling point to budget-conscious shoppers.

Why We Like It
The CopperFlex offers substantial quality and strong performance across the board, yet its sticker price falls well below that of the average memory foam model. Hands-on tests show the mattress is an especially great match for side sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds, back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds, and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. Couples should appreciate how well the CopperFlex absorbs and isolates movement, minimizing the potential for motion-related sleep disturbances in the process. We also recommend the mattress to hot sleepers who have had bad experiences with memory foam in the past – the cooling components work as intended to maintain a comfortable surface temperature.

Standout Feature
There’s a lot to like about the CopperFlex, but we’re singling out the zoned transitional polyfoam as its standout feature. This layer feels firmer around the torso and hips, where many sleepers need extra pushback. As a result, you’re less likely to sink into the mattress. Zoned layers are common in hybrids, but somewhat rare for foam mattresses. This feature, coupled with the sturdy base layers, should appeal to people who have found other models lacking in support for their midsections.

“The Saatva classic has some bounce and pushback, which I actually really liked. It still had enough cushioning, especially around my lower back, and it was great to be able to move around easily on top of the bed.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

The Saatva Classic has a Euro-top padded with two foam layers, followed by a transitional layer of pocketed microcoils and a support core of robust, low-gauge hourglass coils made from recycled steel. Thanks to this “coil-on-coil” design, most of our testers noticed a fair amount of bounce that prevented them from sinking or feeling stuck as they moved across the mattress. We also noticed very little roll-off when testing the bed for perimeter support by lying and sitting along the edges. This was especially true for the Classic’s firmest, tallest design.

Why We Like It
Thanks to its innovative coil-on-coil construction, the Saatva Classic is well suited to people looking for a bouncy, supportive mattress that won’t sink too much beneath their weight. Free White Glove delivery should also incentivize those who would rather not set up a new mattress on their own. Couriers drive the mattress directly to your residence, assemble it in a room of your choice, and remove your old mattress or box spring upon request. This type of delivery service usually starts at $150, so you may want to go this route if you need help setting up your new mattress — the Saatva Classic is pretty heavy.

“Just by looking at it, I immediately noticed how tall this mattress is. The extra layers seem to pay off since I felt extremely well supported with no aches and pains.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Nolah Evolution is available in three firmness levels that correspond to medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8) on our test lab’s firmness scale.

The foam layers may absorb some heat, but air circulation through the coils and a cooling fabric in the cover both helped offset this heat retention. The Nolah Evolution 15 is a good choice for side sleepers who enjoy the hug of foam but tend to overheat on all-foam beds.

Why We Like It
We’ve tested many hybrid beds, but this model stands out with exceptionally thick foam layers on top and a substantial 15-inch profile. The quilted Euro-top cradles your body and is followed by adaptive polyfoam layers, all of which conform closely to your body and alleviate pressure points. A support core of coils is designed with three zones to further enhance pressure relief where it’s needed most. The perimeter is lined with reinforced coils to boost edge support.

“All three firmness options have their benefits, but I was partial to the medium firm model. It had the right amount of give to accommodate my body but also had a bit of bounce to it. I liked that I didn’t have to choose between way too hard or way too soft.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

All Signature Hybrid models consist of three polyfoam layers with a plush quilted surface. The density and thickness of each foam layer varies between firmness options, but you’ll always feel cushioning and cradling after climbing into bed. Variflex transitional foam has a slightly responsive feel to keep your body from sinking too deep, and the thick coil core ensures plenty of support.

Why We Like It
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid comes in three firmness options — medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (8) — and we found pressure relief was a standout feature across all models. The foam layers cradled our bodies to minimize pressure buildup, and we were also impressed by the foam’s strong motion isolation in the two softer models. If your sleep is frequently disrupted by a restless partner, this feature can be a real asset.

Standout Feature
One standout feature of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is the optional pillow-top with a GlacioTex cooling cover, which is a phase change material engineered to regulate temperature on the surface. Although the cooling component costs extra, it may be a lifesaver for hot sleepers looking to offset heat retention from the foam layers.

“I got deep, restorative sleep on the Bear Elite Hybrid. A big part of that was that I didn’t overheat thanks in large part to the specialty fabric in the cover that is engineered to dissipate heat and support muscle recovery.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Elite Hybrid is available in medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8) options. All models begin with a top layer of memory foam that contours to the body to alleviate pressure while ensuring your weight is evenly distributed across the surface. This layer is also infused with copper meant to reduce heat buildup. Transitional polyfoam adds a bit of extra cushioning and prevents your body from sinking too deeply into the support core. Pocketed coils make up the core, offering targeted support to prevent uncomfortable sinkage. A perimeter reinforcement helps the mattress bear your weight along the edges. The coils rest on a polyfoam base layer to prevent shifting. A breathable quilted cover encases the mattress, giving the surface a plush initial feel. The cover is made with Celliant and phase change material (PCM), both engineered to maintain a neutral temperature on the surface.

Why We Like It
Most of us agreed that the Bear Elite Hybrid’s foam hybrid design makes it a great choice for sleepers seeking a supportive mattress with even cushioning for pressure points. The medium option earned the highest ratings from back and side sleepers under 130 pounds since these sleepers need ample cushioning for the shoulders, hips, and spine. The medium firm option was best suited to side sleepers who weighed at least 130 pounds and back sleepers up to 230 pounds, while the firm performed best for side and back sleepers over 230 pounds and most stomach sleepers. Cooling was one of the Elite Hybrid’s most notable strengths. The Celliant and PCM cover and steady airflow through the coils kept our hot sleepers comfortable throughout testing. Our sensors detected minimal heat buildup.

“The Botanical Bliss gently cradled my pain points, including around my shoulders. And I had no issues with sinking too deeply into the mattress. I thought its temperature control was another major plus.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

You can choose between three heights — 9 inches, 10 inches, or 12 inches — as well as medium firm (6) or firm (7) feels. Each version begins with a soft and breathable organic cotton cover and a layer of organic wool. Both materials naturally wick away heat and moisture, helping you stay cool and dry. This is followed by a layer of Talalay latex that balances contouring with subtle bounce. The thick support core is composed of one to two layers of Dunlop latex, depending on the height. Dunlop is firmer and denser than Talalay latex.

Why We Like It
The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss combines organic latex and other eco-friendly materials to deliver personalized comfort and support. With a choice of two firmness levels and the added assurance of PlushBeds’ comfort exchange program, the mattress is a comfortable choice for a wide range of sleepers. The mattress holds certifications from GOTS, GOLS, and GREENGUARD Gold, indicating that the materials comply with certain safety and environmental standards.

Standout Feature
One of the standout features of this mattress is PlushBeds’ 100-night comfort exchange program, which lets you order an additional comfort layer if you decide your initial mattress purchase is too soft or firm.

“For me, the design of the Sparrow delivered impressive results. One big benefit was that I barely noticed any vibrations when there was movement on the other side of the mattress. That made it easier to sleep through the night without unwanted awakenings.” –Garen Glazier, Product Testing Team Member

The Sparrow is designed with three layers of foam over a 6-inch coil system. A top memory foam layer closely cradles your body, followed by a polyfoam Energex layer with a responsive feel and another polyfoam layer with enhanced support. The Energex layer varies in firmness depending on the model you choose, but our testers found that all three models offer a well-cushioned surface.

Why We Like It
The Sparrow is available in three different firmness options – soft (3), medium (5), and firm (7) – but during tests, the firm model earned high marks from many of our testers, especially back and side sleepers over 130 pounds. Side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers up to 130 pounds enjoyed the medium model. The soft model earned good reviews from side sleepers up to 130 pounds, but side sleepers in heavier weight categories may prefer a firmer option.

Standout Features
Some heat buildup is to be expected for beds with foam comfort systems, but the Sparrow felt temperature-neutral for many of our testers – even those who normally sleep hot. Phase change material infused into the cover offsets heat retention. Meanwhile airflow through the coil system helps ventilate the mattress to keep it cool.

Thanks to the thick foam comfort system, the mattress excelled at motion isolation tests in our sleep lab. This means you’ll feel very little motion transfer when your sleep partner shifts in the middle of the night. The bed also offers excellent pressure relief, especially in the soft and medium models. This appealed to testers who typically experience pressure buildup in the shoulders, hips, or spine.

“This mattress is built to give extra support to heavier parts of the body, and I could feel that support around my hips and lower back. I also just got a certain peace of mind knowing that the mattress was made with eco-friendly materials.” –David Rubin, Director of Product Testing

The Eco Organic Mattress is medium firm (6) and our testers noted gentle cushioning, robust support, and easy movement across the surface. The mattress was especially popular with the stomach sleepers on our testing crew. The latex comfort layer is firm and responsive compared to memory foam, so deep sinkage was not an issue, and zoned coils deliver some much-needed support around the midsection. Temperature control is another strong point. We detected very little heat buildup on the surface, and the mattress slept cooler than the majority of foam beds we’ve tested. The latex is ventilated and the coils promote steady airflow, so there is plenty of circulation to help the interior of the mattress stay cool. The organic cotton cover and wool fire barrier are both breathable as well, and the wool wicks moisture away from the body on humid nights.

Why We Like It
The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress should meet the needs of any stomach sleeper seeking a firm, supportive, and responsive sleep surface. Hot sleepers should enjoy the breathable components of this latex hybrid design. Avocado has also earned a reputation for sleep products made mostly or entirely from sustainable materials. The latex, cotton, and wool have all been certified as organic. The company also used offset projects to achieve carbon negative shipping. Even the wrapping paper in the mattress delivery box is produced through eco-friendly means. While many latex hybrids – including most Avocado models – are on the expensive side, the Eco Organic Mattress is modestly priced for shoppers with tight budgets.
