1. Best Mattress Overall: Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid

The AS3 Hybrid is our editor’s choice for the best mattress overall due to its comfort, design, and responsiveness. The bed is supportive, breathable, affordable, and eco-friendly. Thanks to its medium feel, the AS3 Hybrid feels perfectly suited for most sleeping positions. Hot sleepers can also find cooling relief when they lie on the AS3 Hybrid.

We also recommend the AS3 Hybrid for couples who want to share a bed without discomfort. Two people often have different ideas of how soft or firm a bed should feel, and this can make choosing a mattress challenging. The AS3 Hybrid’s balanced medium feel falls into that sweet spot of “just right” for most sleepers.

Every hybrid mattress from Amerisleep has a top layer of their special Bio-Pur® foam, and the AS3 Hybrid is no exception. Bio-Pur® foam contains plant-based oils which creates more responsiveness and breathability than just traditional memory foam.

The support layer is a sturdy layer of pocketed coils, while the final layer is base foam. This core provides comfortable, durable support and resists sagging and permanent indentations. The coils are also individually wrapped for better motion isolation, with reinforced coils along the side for edge support.

Amerisleep is committed to providing quality, eco-friendly mattresses. In addition to the top layer including plant-based materials, all Amerisleep foams are CertiPUR-US® certified. 

Each Amerisleep AS3 comes with free shipping, a 100-night sleep trial, and a 20-year warranty.

2. Best Hybrid Mattress: Zoma Hybrid

Zoma has built its reputation as a favorite mattress among professional athletes. Their mattresses focus on promoting faster recovery and optimal pressure relief so you can sleep deeper and wake up refreshed. We love the Zoma Hybrid because of its cooling and bouncy qualities.

Gel memory foam makes up the first layer of the Zoma Hybrid. The memory foam yields to pressure, quickly hugging your body’s curves as you lie down. The infused gels wick heat away from your body, enabling faster cooling.

The second layer of the Zoma Hybrid is Reactiv™ foam. As the name suggests, Reactiv™ foam’s purpose is to react to your movements, ensuring you don’t feel stuck in a bed that’s too slow to adapt.

The third layer of the Zoma Hybrid is a thick base of pocketed coils. Thanks to the coils, the spine remains aligned, while the coils along the side are firmer so you have an easier time sliding out of bed. The resilient foam underneath the coils ensures they stand strong after years of use.

Of course, you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from sleeping on the Zoma Hybrid or one of the company’s other mattresses. The design can help side and back sleepers, hot sleepers, and people with back pain experience better sleep.

When you pick the Zoma Hybrid as your next mattress, you also receive the security of a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty. 

3. Best Luxury Mattress: Nolah Evolution 15

As the thickest mattress on our recommendation list, we can assure you that the Nolah Evolution 15 is packed full of luxurious features. The bed’s primary focus is on maintaining a pleasant chill in all conditions, and shoppers can choose one of three firmnesses for the ultimate comfort.

The surface of the Evolution 15 consists of a cooling Euro topper with a breathable gusset border that enables quick heat dispersion. The cover fabric is also manufactured for a stay-cool-to-the-touch feel, so sleepers can stretch out and enjoy a pleasant chill.

Underneath all of these materials is pressure-relieving AirFoamICE™, engineered for maximum comfort and featuring a graphite infusion. This AirFoamICE™ foam is followed by a supportive and resilient foam and a transition foam layer for increased responsiveness.

The main support layer is pocketed coils with a ring of edge support, making it easy to slide in and out of bed in the morning.

The Nolah Evolution has a lifetime warranty and a 120-night sleep trial. To save on the mattress, shoppers can choose to remove the sleep trial at checkout.

4. Best Mattress for the Money: Vaya Hybrid

When it comes to an affordable mattress that doesn’t skimp on quality, our top suggestion is the Vaya Hybrid. 

The Vaya Hybrid has an affordable three-layer design. The top layer is their exclusive Vaya Comfort Foam, while the bottom layer is durable coils atop of supportive base foam.

Vaya’s comfort foam is designed to feel conforming yet responsive, supportive yet lightweight. The material offers a hug-like cushion in every position, feeling soft without any unwanted sinkage. Thanks to the adaptable nature of Vaya Comfort Foam, you can easily move across the surface.

The base coil layer promotes a healthy spine alignment in all three sleep positions. The consistent support from this layer also works to minimize pressure build-up, ensuring you wake up refreshed instead of sore or achy.

Every foam inside Vaya mattresses are certified by CertiPUR-US®, ensuring the mattress is free of harmful materials. Vaya also produces all of its mattresses in the USA.

The Vaya Hybrid is compatible with various bed bases, from platform bed frames to slatted foundations to adjustable bases. 

Every Vaya Hybrid includes a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

5. Best Innerspring Mattress: Saatva Classic

Many sleepers enjoy the feel of a bouncy traditional innerspring mattress, but they also love the pressure relief offered by memory foam. The Saatva Classic possesses stellar responsiveness provided by two coil layers, one that’s pocketed coils and another that’s a standard base of innerspring coils.

The Classic is topped with a 3-inch Euro pillow top filled with soft fibers and plush foam, surrounded by an organic cotton fabric cover. These materials establish a cool, clean, and pressure-relieving sleeping surface. The cotton is also treated with an exclusive Guardin™ botanical treatment, engineered to limit the growth of harmful bacteria and microbes.

Next is a layer designed to provide back support by combining a spinal support active wire with high-density memory foam. The design provides a boost of pressure relief and back support.

The third layer consists of pocketed coils, used to increase contouring comfort instead of providing the bed’s main support. These wrapped coils rest on top of a tempered steel coil base. The base is ringed by high-density foam rails for edge support and minimal sagging.

The Classic is available in three different firmness, ensuring the mattress can suit most sleeping styles. The mattress is backed by a 180-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty.

6. Best Cooling Mattress: Chill Hybrid by Sealy

Sleeping hot is one of the worst ways to mess up your sleep schedule. You can wake up sweating and sticky in the middle of the night and take what feels like forever to fall back asleep. For a complete night of restful sleep, it’s important to have a cooling mattress that relaxes you and keeps you in deep slumber.

The Chill Hybrid is one of our top recommendations when it comes to coolness, relying on phase change materials, conforming foam and supportive pocketed coils for comfortable sleep. This 12-inch mattress features a balanced medium feel that can suit most sleeping styles, providing what most hot sleepers and people in warmer areas of the country need for comfort.

The cover fabric has phase change material technology that keeps heat from building up on the surface. Even as your body continues to release excess heat while you sleep, the mattress stays cool throughout the night.

Underneath the cover is premium memory foam, ready to conform without letting heat buildup. Sealy lets you upgrade to the Extra Chill Hybrid for an added charge, and the difference between the two models is that this memory foam layer features added phase change materials for increased coolness.

The base of the Chill Hybrid is pocketed coils, which let air circulate freely between the springs. The coils themselves respond well to sleepers yet also isolate movements, while the sides are reinforced for edge support.

The Chill Hybrid also has a memory foam counterpart, and both options ship free and come with a 100-night trial period and a 10-year warranty.
