Finding the best hypoallergenic mattress is important if you’re trying to keep your nighttime allergies, asthma, or any irritations at bay. These beds are equipped with materials to fight against dust, dust mites, mold, dander, and allergens — you know, all the stuff you don’t want to be sleeping on or have growing near your skin. Because there are a lot of different types of hypoallergenic mattresses on the market today, we rounded up our picks for the best hypoallergenic mattresses of the year to help you on your bed shopping journey.
Of course, if you’re spending your well-earned money on a new mattress, you’re not just looking for a bed that’s going to help keep your allergies in check. You’re most likely also looking for the right mattress for your body type, preferred sleeping position, and cooling needs. That’s why our Sleepopolis mattress testers put all of our beds through a series of tests to determine exactly what kinds of sleepers they will (or won’t) work best for. These tests include — but definitely aren’t limited to — a pressure map test to determine pressure relief, a motion transfer test to see if couples will be able to feel the movements of their partner, and scoring each mattress’s firmness (with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest).
All of our recommendations for these mattresses will be outlined in the Pros and Cons section of each bed’s mini review, so make sure you check that section out before clicking “purchase” on your new bed. Keep on reading this roundup to find the hypoallergenic mattress that’s best for you.

What We Look For In The Best Mattresses For Allergies
Allergen Resistant Materials
We know that if you are looking for the best mattresses for allergies, then allergen-resistant material is important to you. Because of this, we made sure to test the materials on each of these mattresses to make sure they are resistant to allergens.
Easy to Clean
Keeping your mattress clean is especially important when looking for one that is good for people with allergies, so we included lots of options for easily cleanable mattresses to avoid having allergic reactions to anything in your mattress.
Moisture-Wicking and Breathable
Keeping your mattress dust, hair, and other allergen-free starts with a breathable construction. We tested all of these mattresses for breathable construction and moisture-wicking material to help keep your allergies at bay while you sleep. To do this, we looked out for certified organic materials that are known to help reduce allergies, like latex, and checked for CertiPUR-US certified mattresses, meaning that they are free from any harmful chemicals or heavy metals.

Best Overall Hypoallergenic Mattress – Saatva Latex Hybrid
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a firm yet bouncy bed. The latex foam and coils make this mattress very supportive, which can appeal to back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and sleepers weighing over 250 pounds. This bed is also very responsive, which makes it a solid choice for combination sleepers who need to easily change sleeping positions without getting stuck. We consider the Saatva Latex Hybrid to be a durable mattress made with high-quality materials, and the lifetime warranty indicates it should last you for many years to come.
What our tester says:
“The Saatva Latex Hybrid definitely has cooling under control. Latex is a naturally cooling material, allowing this mattress to regulate body temperature and provide a cool sleeping experience. Plus, the same individually wrapped coil layer that gives the Saatva Latex Hybrid its bounce also allows for air to flow through the mattress, adding to its overall breathability.” – Bridget Chapman, former senior product editor
Expert Opinion
We picked the Saatva Latex Hybrid as our best hypoallergenic mattress for a variety of reasons. Of course, this mattress is fantastic for those with allergies, but it also wins big in the support department. And because of its firm, bouncy feel, it should appeal to a variety of folks, including back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and heavy people. The mattress scored a 7.5 on our firmness scale, making it firmer than the industry standard for a medium-firm bed (which is set at a 6.5 on our scale). This rating means that the Saatva Latex Hybrid has a good balance of comfort and stability in its construction.
Best Hypoallergenic Mattress for Combination Sleepers – DreamCloud
With soft foam and a sturdy layer of innerspring coils, the DreamCloud strikes a balance between comfort and support — a little bit of contouring up top and on-top-of-the-bed feel that comes from the bottom. It’s a fairly firm mattress that we think is most comfortable for back sleepers. It also has some luxury touches such as a cashmere-blend cover that are reminiscent of a high-end hotel. Learn more in our DreamCloud video review.
What our tester says:
“I really like how luxurious this mattress feels and how it could work for a variety of sleepers. Along with that, I found that the breathable cashmere cover helps the DreamCloud sleep cool throughout the night. Thanks to its medium-firm to firm support, I think the DreamCloud is a durable mattress. It balances support with plenty of pressure relief for back sleepers.” – Bridget Chapman, former Sleepopolis senior product editor
Expert Opinion
The DreamCloud definitely has more of an “on top” feel to it, rather than allowing its sleepers to “sink” further into its layers. This makes this mattress a great fit for combination sleepers, as they will be able to more easily switch positions and move around on top of their mattress without feeling stuck. This mattress also scored a 7 on our firmness scale, making it slightly firmer than the industry standard for a medium-firm bed.
Best Hypoallergenic Mattress for Couples – Nectar Premier
The Nectar Premier is a luxurious all-foam mattress equipped with quality materials. A moisture-wicking cover and gel-infused comfort layer create a cooling, thermoregulating mattress for hot sleepers. Perhaps its strongest attribute is its next-level pressure relief. Six inches of foam work to contour sensitive areas, but the high-density foam at the bottom of the bed provides plenty of support. Watch our video review to learn more.
What our tester says:
“My favorite thing about the Nectar Premier is its great pressure relief. This medium-soft mattress is a great fit for side sleepers looking for plush comfort. It might also be a nice fit for sleepers who deal with shoulder pain.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
Expert Opinion
The Nectar Premier is a 13-inch all-foam mattress, and every inch of memory foam used in the construction of this bed is CertiPUR-US certified, so it’s free from any harmful chemicals or heavy metals. The cover layer on this mattress is also quilted with polyethylene fibers, which work hard to wick away heat and create a cool-to-the-touch feel.
Best Hypoallergenic Mattress for Side Sleepers – Nolah Natural
The Nolah Natural is made with eco-friendly Talalay latex and supportive coils. This mattress has GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic wool, cotton, natural latex, and recycled steel. The latex makes this mattress responsive, which is great for couples and combination sleepers. This material is also naturally hypoallergenic and cooling, which can help hot sleepers prevent overheating. For more information, watch our video review.
What our tester says:
“It has a very soft, plush feel that provides you some cushioning as well. I’d say you’re going to feel more “on top” of this bed than “in it” — thanks to its bouncy latex.” – Bridget Chapman, former senior product editor.
Expert Opinion
The Nolah Natural is an 11-inch mattress made with both hypoallergenic and eco-friendly materials, including Talalay latex, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified wool, GOTS certified organic cotton, and recycled steel coils. These coils also include zoned support, so certain areas of this mattress should feel slightly firmer, like around the hips, while other areas, like the lower back and shoulders, should add more pressure relief for the sleeper.
Best Organic Hypoallergenic Mattress – Birch
The Birch Natural is a latex mattress utilizing individually wrapped coils for added support. This mattress specializes in cooling and responsiveness, and the firmer nature suits back and stomach sleepers well. Perhaps the most special part about this mattress is the material quality. Not only is the Birch organic, but it has also earned multiple certifications for safe production and materials. For more information, check out our video review.
What our tester says:
“One of my favorite things about the Birch is how cooling it is. I think any hot sleeper will be satisfied by this breathable bed. It’s definitely one of the most cooling mattresses available thanks to its wool and latex layers. These cooling materials also make it one of my favorite organic mattresses.” – Madison Schaper, Sleepopolis staff writer
Expert Opinion
The Birch Natural is an eco-friendly, all-natural, 11-inch bed that uses organic Fair Trade cotton, New Zealand wool, Talalay latex, and pocketed coils. This mattress is also Greenguard Gold certified, which means that it won’t release high levels of chemical emissions or volatile organic compounds. And, as an added bonus, the cover of the Birch is also fire-retardant.
Best Firm Hypoallergenic Mattress – Helix Dawn
The Helix Dawn is one of the firmest mattresses offered by the company. Its construction provides good comfort for heavy people and stomach sleepers, both of whom need extra support to keep from sinking uncomfortably below the mattress surface. Like the other Helix mattresses, it can be upgraded to the Luxe version if you’re willing to pay a little extra for luxury features. To learn more, check out our video on Helix mattresses.
What our tester says:
“I really appreciate how supportive these mattresses are. Stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and heavy people (those over 250 pounds) could all benefit from the firm feel of this bed. No matter which model you choose, the Helix Dawn really delivers on lumbar support.” Logan Block, former Sleepopolis content director and mattress tester
Expert Opinion
The Helix brand offers a wide variety of mattresses, and the Helix Dawn is the firmest bed in their standard line. This hybrid mattress combines contouring memory foam and supportive pocketed coils for a great balance of support and comfort. We found the firm feel of the Helix Dawn to be a nice fit for stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and heavyweight sleepers alike, as it allows for more stability and durability.
Best Hypoallergenic Mattress for Back Pain – WinkBeds EcoCloud
If you’re looking for a mattress made with high-quality, organic materials, then look no further than the WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress. This bed is packed with sustainable materials, including organic cotton, sustainable New Zeland wool, natural Talalay latex, and recycled steel coils. The quilted cover gives this bed an initial plush feel, and the sturdy coils below provide lift and support. We especially like this bed for back sleepers, as it has the perfect balance between pressure relief and lumbar support. We also think hot sleepers would enjoy the breathable materials that work to keep the bed cool all night.
What our tester says:
“The EcoCloud is a great mattress for back sleepers. it has zoned support, which is meant to help promote a neutral spinal alignment, especially when back sleeping.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
Expert Opinion
You can rest assured knowing you’re sleeping on eco-friendly materials with the WinkBeds EcoCloud. This mattress includes an organic cover made from cotton and sustainable New Zealand wool. There’s also a 4-inch layer comfort layer of Talalay latex included in the EcoCloud, which is antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic. This mattress also scored a 6.5 on our firmness scale, which is the same score as the industry standard for a medium-firm mattress.
Best Cooling Hypoallergenic Mattress – Bear Star Hybrid
The Bear Star Hybrid is a softer hybrid mattress with memory foam and innerspring coils. It offers pressure relief, contouring, and solid support for many sleeper types, but especially back, side, and combination sleepers. For more information, check out our video review.
What our tester says:
“After testing out the Bear Star, I found it to be really cozy. I loved how plush the surface of the mattress felt as I was lying on it, but I still felt super supported. Lying on my back and my side, I felt comfortable and would definitely sleep on this at night in my own home.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
Expert Opinion
An upgraded version of what was formerly known as the Bear Hybrid, the Bear Star Hybrid is a mattress created with a ton of cooling technology. The brand offers Celliant in its optional cover, gel-infused memory foam in its comfort layer, and pocketed coils in its base layer — all of which help to dissipate body heat and keep sleepers cool throughout the night. Personally, we found this mattress to offer cushiony support that felt comfortable for multiple sleeping positions.
Best Hybrid Hypoallergenic Mattress – Brooklyn Bedding Ecosleep
The Brooklyn Bedding EcoSleep mattress is an organic, latex hybrid mattress that’s supportive, bouncy, and natural. We think this bed is a great pick for heavy weight sleepers (those weighing over 250 pounds), and these folk should feel supported and comfortable. We also like this firm mattress for stomach sleepers, as it can help keep their hips propped up and promote proper spinal alignment. If you sleep on your back and prefer a firmer feel, then this mattress could be a nice choice. We also appreciate how cool this mattress sleeps due to its breathable latex foams and airy coils.
What our tester says:
“The EcoSleep is a responsive mattress. Changing positions will probably be easy for most people. Even if you sink into the latex a bit, you’re not going to get much of a contouring feel from this mattress.” – Logan Block, former content director
Expert Opinion
The best part about hybrid mattresses is the way they balance comfort and support, but unfortunately, not all are made to fight allergens. Luckily, the Brooklyn Bedding Ecosleep uses eco-friendly and hypoallergenic materials throughout its construction, and the most unique part is that this mattress is flippable. One side is firm (a 7.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale), and the other is extra-firm (8 out of 10). All of this sturdiness and firmness is a result of the Ecosleep’s hybrid construction, which uses responsive latex foams and a six-inch layer of support coils. But regardless of which side you choose, this hybrid bed is, of course, hypoallergenic. And it’s all topped off with a cozy cotton-wool blend cover.
Who Needs a Hypoallergenic Mattress
A mattress company typically specifies on their website if the materials used are hypoallergenic, but you can also ask them via phone or online chat to be sure. Hypoallergenic mattresses use materials that are safe on your skin and are unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. They can be beneficial for:
- Those with allergies or asthma
- Anyone fighting off a cold, congestion, or coughing
- Folks with sensitive skin
- Kids
What to Consider When Buying the Best Hypoallergenic Mattress For You
The right hypoallergenic mattress for you is going to depend on a variety of factors, like your sleeping position, body type, sleep style, and whether or not you share the bed with a partner. To help you narrow in on what will suit your needs best, let’s go over some of the different components to keep in mind while mattress-shopping.
Also, be sure to check out mattress buying guide for even more tips and information.
Quality Mattress Materials
We’ve covered a few different mattress types in this roundup and we’ll cover their differences below. Many sleepers who struggle with allergies are often comfortable on a sustainable mattress or one made with eco-friendly and organic materials, as these beds are unlikely to activate their allergies. If this sounds like you, we recommend looking for mattresses that receive third-party certifications for using natural materials and ethical practices. You can check out our guide to mattress certifications to learn more, in addition to perusing our roundup of the best organic mattresses.
- Foam: Memory foam mattresses are known for their ability to mold around your body and provide pressure relief. Memory Foam is a polyurethane foam that has viscoelastic properties. You can check out our roundup of top-rated memory foam mattresses to learn more.
- Innerspring: Innerspring mattresses are primarily made of coils and utilize a traditional spring or pocketed coil system. Coils in a mattress provide a more traditional and bouncy feel. Check out some of our favorite innerspring mattresses to learn more.
- Hybrid: A hybrid mattress typically combines a coil-based foundation with foam layers on the top, typically memory foam or latex foam. Hybrids can vary in feel and firmness, as you can see in our roundup of the best hybrid mattresses.
- Latex: A latex mattress is made with latex foam derived from either Talalay or Dunlop latex. Latex foams are made from natural sap from rubber trees. Latex mattresses typically combine latex with coils or poly foams. They tend to be durable, bouncy, and cooling. It’s also worth noting that latex is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to mold, mildew, and dust mites.
What Mattress Material is the Most Hypoallergenic
While all mattresses can be made with hypoallergenic materials, latex is known to be hypoallergenic due to its porous construction and natural material. Innerspring mattresses can also be a good choice for sleepers with allergies because they are breathable and don’t trap allergens as much as other materials. However, foam mattresses made with right materials can certainly be hypoallergenic as well.
Organic and Hypoallergenic Certifications
While there are plenty of non-organic mattresses that may be hypoallergenic or have hypoallergenic properties, a lot of organic and natural beds are also often hypoallergenic, making them some of the top choices for sleepers with allergies. If you are looking for a mattress that is hypoallergenic, you may want to keep an eye out for some of these certifications.
- CertiPUR-US certified foams are made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP, or TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates, as regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They also produce low VOC emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million).
- GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified latex is produced in an environment where all materials and manufacturing processes to make latex adhere to strict and specific global organic standards.
- GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified materials are produced in an environment where all materials and manufacturing processes to make textiles adhere to strict and specific global organic standards.
- GreenGuard-certified applies to a mattress that has been tested to ensure that its chemical and particle emissions meet acceptable indoor-outdoor air quality pollutant guidelines (low emission). A GreenGuard-certified mattress is often labeled with the certification GREENGUARD Gold.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified latex has been tested for the presence of 100 known harmful substances.
- USDA-Certified Organic applies to a mattress that has been produced without a prohibited method or substances; testing is regularly overseen by a USDA-authorized certifying agent.
- eco-INSTITUT certification comes from the Eco Institut in Cologne, Germany, which has independently tested various products for polluting chemicals and harmful emissions for over 25 years. If a mattress is eco-INSTITUT certified, it’s free of even the smallest amounts of hazardous chemicals, VOCs, formaldehyde, phthalates, pesticides, heavy metals, and more. It’s also unlikely to have any sort of off-gassing period.
How can a mattress exacerbate or mitigate allergy symptoms?
“A mattress can make your allergies worse if it attracts dust mites, promotes the growth of mold, and/or is made of allergenic materials. On the other hand, a mattress that is made of hypoallergenic materials, is easy to clean, and has good ventilation can help you sleep better if you struggle with allergies.” – Dr. Raj Dasgupta MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM
Sleeping Position
Here’s a quick rundown of the different sleeping positions and what we recommend.
- Back sleepers: These sleepers need a mattress that’s going to help promote spinal alignment and healthy sleep posture by offering support and pressure relief. They usually do best on hybrid or innerspring mattresses.
- Side sleepers: Side sleepers do well on soft or contouring beds, like memory foam mattresses or many hybrid mattresses.
- Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers tend to do best on a firm mattress since it allows their hips to be lifted and in line with their shoulders. This ultimately helps prevent back pain. We think they do well on innerspring and hybrid mattresses.
- Combination sleepers: These are sleepers who switch between two or more sleeping positions at night. They typically want a responsive mattress so they don’t feel stuck in the bed while trying to switch positions. A lot of beds can cater to their needs, like latex mattresses, hybrid mattresses, and innerspring mattresses.
Breathability and Cooling
Hypoallergenic mattresses may have a plethora of qualities that make them hypoallergenic, but one of the best qualities is a breathable construction that helps the mattress not trap common allergens such as dust or pet hair. For this reason, we recommend looking for breathable coils, porous foams, and latex in your mattress.
Breathable materials can also help keep the mattress cool, which you may enjoy if you are a hot sleeper or prefer to stay cool throughout the night. Our thermal gun test is one of the best ways to test for cooling. We use a thermal gun that can read the temperature of a specific location and register body heat. We use this tool by having one of our expert testers measure the temperature of the mattress normally and then measure it again after laying on it for 5 to 10 minutes. We consider anything below an 8-degree difference to be good cooling, and below a six-degree difference to be great cooling.
Are Spring Mattresses More Hypoallergenic than Foam Mattresses?
They can be. Because innerspring mattresses are more breathable than foams like memory foam, they can be more hypoallergenic. However, latex is considered a foam, and that is one of the most hypoallergenic materials you can find for a mattress. A foam mattress made with the right materials can be just as hypoallergenic, if not more, than spring mattresses made with non-hypoallergenic foams.
Firmness and Body Type
Firmness is an important aspect of all mattresses, and every sleeper has a unique preference for the kind of firmness they like. Further, different firmness levels may be better for different types of sleepers and may be more useful for specific kinds of pain or pressure relief.
We used our expertly developed and tested firmness scale to evaluate the firmness level of every single mattress in this list, and every mattress we test at Sleepopolis. The firmness scale ranks mattresses from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most firm, and we generally consider 6.5 to be medium-firm. We use this scale by having one of our expert mattress testers lay on each mattress in various sleeping positions. Our testers use the firmness scale to explain and understand the level of support, comfort, and pressure relief each mattress can potentially provide.
It is important to note that beds are typically going to feel firmer to lightweight sleepers than they do heavyweight sleepers. If you’re heavier in weight, you’re also going to need more support from a bed. We typically recommend heavier sleepers look at the best innerspring mattresses or one that was designed with them in mind. They can also refer to our roundup of the best mattresses for heavy people to see some options tailored for them.
Price and Company Policy
Hypoallergenic mattresses can be more expensive than other kinds of mattresses. This is because sourcing and approval of organic or hypoallergenic materials can be more expensive and time-consuming than other materials. However, there are certainly ways to find affordable hypoallergenic mattresses. We recommend shopping around holidays like Memorial and Labor Day or looking out for online exclusive sales.
We also suggest looking into companies that offer sleep trials that are at least 100 nights, meaning you can try the mattress for 100 nights to be sure you love it. This can help you be sure you made the right choice and be confident this is the mattress you want. Warranties are also important for mattresses, especially those that are more expensive because they should last you at least 8 to 10 years. We recommend looking for companies who offer a 10-year warranty at the least.
How Much Should I Spend on a Hypoallergenic Mattress?
This is up to you. Your budget and how much you want to spend is an entirely personal choice. However, we can tell you that most hypoallergenic mattresses cost $1,500 and $2,300 before sales or discounts. More expensive mattresses do not necessarily mean they are made better or with better materials, but it is important to consider that a hypoallergenic mattress may be more pricey than a non-hypoallergenic mattress.
Hypoallergenic Bedding
A hypoallergenic mattress is nothing without hypoallergenic bedding that can also help keep allergens at bay. We recommend natural materials like cotton, bamboo, wool, linen, and silks that are tightly woven and naturally resist dust mites, mold, and mildew. These fabric’s construction can help prevent allergens from sticking to the sheets, but they are also lightweight and breathable which will help avoid trapping dust mites or animal hair and keep them from growing mildew or other allergens. You can look through our recommendations of the best bed sheets to learn more.
Pillows can also be hypoallergenic, and we generally recommend latex pillows that are breathable and porous to help avoid trapping common household allergens. You can check out our picks for the best pillows to find the right one for you. You may also want to opt for bedding that can be washed easily and regularly, as keeping your sheets and comforters clean can help to avoid allergic reactions when sleeping.
FAQs
What are some other healthy types of mattresses?
Organic/natural mattresses. Along with being hypoallergenic, they’re free of toxins, moisture-wicking, and more naturally breathable than non-organic mattresses.
How do I tell if my mattress contains toxic materials or not?
You’ll want to check if your mattress has received third-party certifications, such as the OEKO-TEX certification and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification. OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 means your bed is free from harmful chemicals. GOTS applies to the mattress’ cover, and means it’s certified organic.
What hypoallergenic bedding do you recommend?
We recommend looking for natural materials, like cotton, wool, silk, and bamboo. You can also purchase a hypoallergenic mattress cover for even more protection.
How can I prevent allergens or dust mites from being on my mattress?
Clean your bed twice a year and wash your sheets/bedding weekly. Check out our full mattress cleaning guide for more information.
How We Chose These Mattresses
Our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches has reviewed more than 220 products in our mattress lab, running each one through tests such as pressure-mapping and measuring motion transfer with a seismometer. From there, we give every bed an overall score based on materials, comfort, support, cooling, and edge support. We also factor in brand performance with categories such as value and warranty.
For the mattresses on this page, we considered whether they’re made with hypoallergenic and eco-friendly materials, what types of sleepers they would work for, how budget-friendly they are, and more. Click here to learn more about our methodology.
