Best Hybrid Mattresses (2025): Sleep Better with These Top Picks

The DreamCloud is my favorite hybrid mattress across the board, earning an overall score of 4.4. This mattress combines foam layers with a sturdy coil base to provide a balanced feel of comfort and support. Despite its high-quality materials, the DreamCloud is surprisingly affordable, often priced under $1,000 after discounts. With a firmness rating of 7 out of 10, the DreamCloud offers a medium-firm feel, which makes it awesome for back sleepers, although side sleepers may find it a bit too firm for comfort.

I found that the DreamCloud performed solidly in most categories. Support, for example, is one area where the DreamCloud excels, earning a 4.5 out of 5. Thanks to its individually wrapped coils, I felt excellent spinal support and noticed hardly any sinkage while lying on this bed. The foams on top are slightly softer, but the coils do a great job of lifting the body and promoting neutral spinal alignment, particularly for back sleeping.

Its edge support was equally impressive, earning another 4.5 out of 5. When I sat on the edge, the mattress didn’t collapse much, and I felt very stable and secure. The DreamCloud is a solid option for couples or anyone who likes to spread out across the entire bed. I also think this bed could work for folks with mobility issues who need a sturdy surface to bear down on while standing up.

When it comes to cooling, I’d rate the DreamCloud at 4 out of 5. Like most hybrid mattresses, the coils help promote airflow and regulate temperature. The mattress also features cooling gel in its memory foam layer, which works to dissipate body heat. I used a thermal gun during testing, and the temperature increase after 5 minutes of lying on the bed was only 7 degrees, indicating the mattress has good cooling properties.

My fellow mattress tester, Bridget Chapman, agreed, saying, “I found that the breathable cashmere cover helps the DreamCloud sleep cool throughout the night.”

The only area the DreamCloud suffers in is motion isolation. I only gave it a 3.5 out of 5 in this category because I felt some noticeable disturbances when one of my fellow testers tossed and turned on the opposite end of the bed. This means lighter sleepers may feel the movements, especially if your partner is a restless sleeper.

The Helix Midnight Luxe is one of the best mattresses for side sleepers because its medium-soft feel provides the perfect balance of cushioning and support. Thanks to its zoned coils, the Midnight Luxe promotes excellent spinal alignment, earning it a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 for support.

The mattress’s cover layer does a great job of contouring your body. The pillow top provides enough cushioning around the hips and shoulders while offering enough lift for a neutral spine. Pressure relief is also exceptional, scoring a perfect 5 out of 5. 

Whether you sleep on your side or back, this mattress helps alleviate pressure in key areas, making it ideal for those with back, shoulder, or hip pain. Nichole Mondshein, one of my fellow mattress testers, said, “I’d especially recommend this mattress to sleepers who suffer from back pain since there’s extra plushness, plus the zoned support helps promote a healthy, straight spinal alignment.”

Stomach sleepers, however, may want to opt for a firmer option to ensure adequate support. As a stomach sleeper myself, I felt my hips sink in more than the rest of my body. While this isn’t unusual for a mattress with a pillow top, excessive sinkage around the hips can cause these sleepers to experience misalignment in their spine. This misalignment can lead to discomfort and potentially result in lower back pain over time.

Cooling is another area where the Helix Midnight Luxe excels. Thanks to its Tencel cover, I could immediately feel how breathable the mattress was. The cooling gel in the Midnight Luxe’s pillow top and memory foam layer further enhance its cooling properties, meaning this bed should help hot sleepers stay cool and dry through the night. After using a thermal gun to measure the spike in temperature after lying on it for 5 minutes, I found the temperature increase was just 3.3 degrees — some of the best cooling results I’ve seen.

There aren’t many drawbacks to the Helix Midnight Luxe, as it excels across all the categories that matter most in a hybrid mattress. This mattress scored a 4 or higher in support, cooling, and responsiveness. However, one area where it falls a bit short is the sleep trial. 

At 100 nights, it’s shorter than what we’ve seen other premium mattress brands provide, so we gave it a 3.5 out of 5 in the trial period category. While this might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, a longer sleep trial could provide added peace of mind for those looking to test the mattress thoroughly before committing.

If you’re a combination sleeper, the WinkBed may be your hybrid mattress match made in heaven. Combo sleepers need something bouncy and supportive to keep them from feeling stuck when changing their sleeping position. This bed earned a 4 and 4.5 out of 5 in our responsiveness and support categories, respectively, making it a home run for this type of sleeper. 

While testing the Luxury Firm version of this mattress, I immediately noticed how bouncy and responsive it was. With its “on top” feel, I found it easy to transition between positions, whether on my back, side, or stomach.

The WinkBed also had surprisingly good motion isolation. Usually, when a mattress is this responsive, you can expect it to do a less-than-stellar job at isolating motion to one side of the bed. However, that is not the case with the WinkBed.

Despite its coils, I didn’t notice much movement on my side of the bed when my colleague moved around on the opposite end of the mattress. I gave the WinkBed a 4 out of 5 for motion isolation because you’ll likely sleep undisturbed even if your partner is a combination sleeper.

“This makes the WinkBed an excellent choice for couples,” said mattress tester Nichole Mondshein. “It’s responsive enough for sex, yet isolates motion well enough that you won’t feel your partner tossing and turning.”

The WinkBed is also great for hot sleepers, featuring a breathable, extra-tall coil layer, a moisture-wicking Tencel cover, and a gel-infused Euro pillow top — all designed to enhance airflow, regulate temperature, and help you stay cool throughout the night. I tested the bed with a thermal gun and found a 7-degree temperature increase after 5 minutes of lying on it. Based on those results and features, the WinkBed earned a 4.5 out of 5 for cooling.

For pressure relief, the WinkBed impressed with even pressure distribution on my back, while my side showed some slight pressure buildup at the hips and shoulders. With a firmness rating of 7 out of 10, the WinkBed leans a bit firmer, which may result in less contouring for strict side sleepers.

Similarly, lightweight sleepers (under 130 pounds) may also feel like they’re not getting enough cushioning, and those with joint pain could experience discomfort in key pressure points like the hips and shoulders.

Looking for a hybrid mattress on a budget? The Silk & Snow Hybrid delivers the most bang for your buck. At just $850 for a queen-size mattress (full retail), it offers a great balance of quality and affordability, making it my top pick in the budget hybrid category. Even better, it frequently goes on sale, so you may be able to score an even better deal. Despite its lower price tag, the Silk & Snow Hybrid is made with high-quality materials and earned an impressive 4 out of 5 stars in the value category.

Cheaper mattresses tend to sag and lack support. However, that is not the case with the Silk & Snow Hybrid. Its zoned pocketed coils do an excellent job of providing targeted support across the body. I gave this mattress a strong 4.5 out of 5 for support, because I was able to find the right level of firmness in every sleeping position. 

The high-density memory foam comfort layer also adds a bit of cushioning, allowing for a slight sinkage that enhances comfort and alleviates pressure. For this reason, I gave the Silk & Snow Hybrid a solid 4 out of 5 in the pressure relief category. The Silk & Snow offered even pressure distribution in my back and side sleeping positions, though I did notice a bit of pressure buildup around the shoulder when side sleeping. This may be a consideration for shoulder pain sufferers, though most back and side sleepers will likely find ample contouring and relief.

The Silk & Snow Hybrid also excels in motion isolation, scoring another 4.5 out of 5 and showing minimal disturbance on our seismograph, which measures how much motion transfers across the mattress surface. This makes it a great choice for couples, as you’re unlikely to be disturbed by your partner (or pet) moving at night.

As my fellow mattress tester Amelia Jerden noted, “In all our tests, the Silk & Snow Hybrid performed quite well, showing very little motion transfer. You may feel some of the larger movements from a partner or pet, like getting in and out of bed, but overall I think this bed is effective at isolating most motion.”

Edge support, however, is where the Silk & Snow Hybrid falls a bit short. While the foam-encased coils provide some reinforcement, I experienced noticeable sinkage when sitting on the edge of the mattress, leading to a score of 3.5 out of 5 in this category. That said, the bed felt stable when lying along the edge. Most sleepers shouldn’t have any issues here; however, I would not recommend this bed to folks with mobility issues or couples who like to spread out on the mattress.

If you’re a hot sleeper who often wakes up drenched in sweat, the Leesa Sapira Chill is a game-changer. I was genuinely impressed by its immediate cool-to-the-touch sensation. I gave this mattress a 4.5 out of 5 for cooling, thanks to its gel-infused foam, breathable pocketed coils, and a cooling fiber cover. Using my thermal gun, I saw a 6.3-degree temperature increase on the surface of the mattress after lying on it for five minutes, indicating excellent cooling.

RELATED: Best Cooling Mattresses for Hot Sleepers

One of my fellow mattress testers, Bridget Chapman, echoed my thoughts, saying,“I feel that the Sapira Chill is one of the best cooling mattresses. Your body temperature drops when you sleep, so chances are this mattress will have a lower temperature in your home at night.”

I tested the Medium-Firm model, which I found perfect for back and side sleepers. The foam layer provided cushioning, yet the pocketed coils underneath offered ample lift and zoned support. I could feel the bed adjust to my shoulders and hips, giving me just the right amount of support without feeling like I was sinking in. Despite its plush feel, I felt on top of the bed rather than in it, thanks to the responsiveness of the coils. Overall, I gave it a 4.5 and 5 out of 5 for support and responsiveness, respectively.

The Leesa Sapira Chill is also a rare case where a mattress has excellent responsiveness and motion isolation. Typically, responsive hybrid beds are not the best at isolating motion, meaning you will likely feel your partner moving on the other side of the bed. However, that is not the case with the Sapira Chill. 

I used a seismograph to measure how much motion traveled from one side of the bed to the other, and it only showed a slight, minimal disturbance. I gave it a 4 out of 5 for motion isolation because you shouldn’t feel your partner tossing and turning — though you may feel them getting in and out of bed.

For pressure relief, I gave the Leesa Sapira Chill a perfect 5 out of 5. The pressure map showed mostly blue, indicating little to no pressure buildup, especially while resting on my back. Side sleepers will likely find it comfortable, though those with hip pain may prefer the Plush model for a bit more cushioning.

The Sapira Chill is one of those mattresses I find hard to fault, scoring a 4 or higher in most categories. If I had to critique something, I would say that their sleep trial and warranty leave something to be desired. While a 100-night trial and 10-year warranty are the industry standard, some brands offer 365-night trials or lifetime warranty coverage. 

This might be a slight drawback if you want extra peace of mind when making a big purchase like this. That said, the quality and performance of the mattress still make it a strong contender for anyone looking for a cooling hybrid.

The Saatva Classic is easily one of the best mattresses for back sleepers who need a supportive and comfortable hybrid bed. What sets this mattress apart is its unique coil-on-coil construction. It features two layers of coils — one for support and one for comfort — which work together to provide excellent spinal alignment. After testing it, I gave the Saatva Classic a perfect 5 out of 5 for support.

The dual coil layers lift the sleeper and prevent any excessive sinking, while the memory foam layer adds a touch of cushioning and is zoned to provide extra support where sleepers need it most. The 3-inch pillow top offered just the right amount of contouring to relieve pressure, while the coils kept me from sinking too deeply into the mattress, which is ideal for back sleepers who need a balance between pressure relief and firm support.

Edge support was another category where the Saatva Classic earned a perfect 5 out of 5. When I sat on the edge, I barely felt any sinkage, and the mattress felt just as supportive at the edge as it did in the center. The Saatva is an excellent option for people with mobility issues who need reliable support to get in and out of bed.

My fellow mattress tester, Nichole Mondshein agreed with my rating here, saying “The Saatva Classic should be the gold standard for all mattresses in terms of edge support. I would recommend the Saatva Classic to anyone who has any type of mobility issue and needs additional support getting in and out of bed.”

The Saatva Classic also earned a 4.5 out of 5 for pressure relief. The Luxury Firm model provided a nice balance of support and pressure relief when I slept on my back. While I felt some mild pressure at my hips while side sleeping, I think most back sleepers will find this mattress ideal. Also, side sleepers will probably be comfortable on the Softer model.

While there are many things to love about this mattress, motion isolation is not the Saatva Classic’s strongest suit, only earning a 3.5 out of 5 in this category. While testing the Saatva with another mattress tester, I confirmed my initial suspicion: The two coil layers cause quite a bit of bounce.

While the pillow top cover did absorb some motion, I could feel everything my colleague was doing on the other side of the bed as they switched between different sleeping positions. In other words, if you’re sensitive to your bedmate’s movements, you’ll probably want to find something with better motion isolation.

Finding the right balance between cushioning and support is key for back pain relief, and a hybrid mattress often provides the best solution. Dr. Raj Dasgupta, Sleepopolis’s chief medical advisor, further explains, “Hybrid mattresses can be helpful for lower back pain due to their blend of support and comfort from innerspring coils and foam layers. They may aid in distributing body weight, aligning the spine, and reducing pressure points.”

The Nolah Evolution hybrid mattress excels on both fronts. During testing, I felt well-supported, and the coils helped me feel lifted and stable. I gave this bed a 4.5 out of 5 for support because it offers the firm yet comfortable feel that back pain sufferers need to alleviate pressure while maintaining alignment.

Similarly, the Nolah Evolution also has strong edge support, thanks to the 8-inch coils and supportive memory foam around the perimeter. I felt secure and stable while on the edges of the mattress, which is a big plus for anyone who needs reliable edge support for getting in and out of bed.

In my hands-on testing, I also found the Nolah Evolution performed well in motion isolation, earning another 4.5 out of 5 here. After dropping a 10-pound steel ball on the bed and using our seismograph to measure the vibrations, I saw minimal motion transfer from the impact site to the other side of the bed. In other words, restless sleepers and couples won’t be disturbed by each other’s movements. Although this mattress has some bounce from the coils, the foam helped keep things quiet and still.

Cooling was another impressive feature of the Nolah Evolution. The bed’s cooling design earned a 4.5 out of 5 thanks to its breathable coils and cooling layers of foam. The cooling fibers in the first comfort layer make the mattress feel immediately cool to the touch and provide some much-needed relief for hot sleepers. As someone who tends to sleep hot, I didn’t overheat during my time on the bed, which is always a big win.

My fellow mattress tester, Bridget Chapman, noted “Although memory foam is known for trapping body heat, I think the cooling technology inside the Nolah Evolution should help it sleep cool and make it a good bed for hot sleepers.”

Finally, the Nolah Evolution earns an almost-perfect 4.5 out of 5 for pressure relief. Its medium-firm feel and zoned support gave me optimal pressure relief around my lower back. The Evolution helped keep my spine aligned and cushioned my lumbar region while lying on my back.

Side sleepers will also appreciate how the foam layers cushion the hips and shoulders, making it great for both back and side sleepers with back pain. Stomach sleepers, however, may find that the Nolah Evolution doesn’t offer enough lift around their hips, which could lead to lower back pain over time.

Fans of soft mattresses that offer contouring and pressure relief in extra measure should look no further than the Bear Elite Hybrid. I tested the Medium model, which I rated at a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it a medium-soft bed that strikes a nice balance for back and side sleepers. However, if you want an even softer feel, the Soft model would be a great choice, especially for side sleepers dealing with hip pain, as it provides more sinkage and contouring around the joints.

“Feel-wise, the Bear Elite Hybrid is very plush and offers optimal body contouring and pressure relief,” said mattress tester Nichole Mondshein. “But as much as it has a nice, cushiony feel, the coils make it easy to move around.”

Many sleepers prefer softer mattresses because they’re adept at alleviating pressure and minimizing discomfort around sensitive areas like the hips, shoulders, and lower back. The Bear Elite Hybrid delivers on this front, earning it a 4.5 out of 5 in this category. When I laid on my back, I didn’t detect any significant pressure buildup in my back, hips, or shoulders. 

On my side, I felt a little more pressure build around my shoulders and knees. I don’t think this will be an issue for most side sleepers; however, those with sensitive joints may want to go with the Soft model of this mattress for additional cushioning.

Support is another area where the Bear Elite Hybrid shines, earning a 4.5 out of 5. The mattress features two layers of coils, which kept my spine well-aligned and provided a lot of lift. The top foam layer is zoned for support, with five different firmness levels designed to support different parts of the body. I felt stable and well-supported, and while the bed offered nice contouring, it didn’t let me sink too far in. The contouring was plush but didn’t sacrifice support.

Edge support was equally impressive, scoring yet another 4.5 out of 5. I felt very secure while sitting and lying along the edge, with just a bit of sinkage when I applied my full weight to the perimeter. However, it didn’t feel unstable, and I didn’t feel like I would roll off the bed. The sturdy edges are beneficial for anyone who shares a bed, those with mobility issues, or anyone who likes to spread out while they sleep.

The Bear Elite Hybrid scored 4.5 out of 5 in most categories, but fell short in responsiveness at 4 out of 5. This score is impressive for a soft mattress, as many combination sleepers should still be able to move around on this bed. However, heavier sleepers (over 250 pounds) in this category may feel stuck in the Elite Hybrid’s layers when switching between different sleeping positions.

If you’re looking for one of the best mattresses for heavy people with serious support, the Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus is built for you. This mattress is specifically designed for people weighing over 250 pounds, providing the support needed to prevent sagging and ensure proper spinal alignment. 

To give you a clearer picture of what to expect, I enlisted my powerlifter friend, Paulie, to help test the bed. He found the initial sinkage to be comfortable, but overall, the mattress still offered plenty of lift and support. 

He rated the Titan Plus a firm 7.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. Heavy sleepers should feel well-supported, with a slight amount of sinkage, while lighter individuals will likely find it firmer.

During my testing, I found that the Titan Plus really excelled in support, earning it a perfect 5 out of 5. It’s built to handle up to 1,000 pounds of weight, with a 6-inch layer of heavy-duty coils designed to support even the heaviest sleepers. These heavy-duty coils provide excellent lift, preventing sleepers from sinking too far into the mattress. There’s also a layer of dense memory foam that adds extra support and comfort, keeping your spine in proper alignment throughout the night.

The Titan Plus’ cooling performance also impressed me, earning a solid 4.5 out of 5. The tall coil layer allows for plenty of airflow, preventing the mattress from trapping heat. Using my thermal gun, I found that the Titan Plus had a temperature increase of just 6 degrees after 5 minutes of me lying on it, which is great news for heavy sleepers who tend to overheat at night.

The mattress offers good pressure relief, particularly for back and stomach sleepers, scoring 4 out of 5. The firm feel is great for maintaining spinal alignment, especially for stomach sleepers who need the added lift for their hips. 

“I’d recommend the Titan Plus to stomach sleepers,” my fellow mattress tester, Nichole Mondshein, added. “It has enough firm support to keep their hips in line with their shoulders, promoting a straight spinal alignment.”

However, strict side sleepers might find the firmness a bit too much, as there was some pressure buildup at the shoulder when I tested it on my side.

If you’re a heavy sleeper, the Titan Plus is sure to give you the support you need; check out our full Titan Plus mattress review for more details. Want to explore other options for heavy people? Check out the Helix Plus.

If you’re someone who appreciates the finer (and greener) things in life, the Birch Luxe Natural is a top-tier choice. I gave this mattress a 4 out of 5 for materials for its combination of eco-conscious materials and modern design to create a comfortable and earth-friendly experience. Made with organic wool, cotton, and Talalay latex, the Birch Luxe Natural feels like something you’d expect in a high-end hotel. The Talalay latex layer is also naturally breathable and cooling, and the coils also help with airflow, keeping the bed from trapping heat.

RELATED: Best Organic and Natural Mattresses

“Not only does the Birch Luxe look and feel luxurious, but it also features some truly premium materials,” said fellow mattress tester Bridget Chapman. “The latex provided excellent pressure relief, while the individually wrapped coils offered great support.”

This latex hybrid mattress is a bit on the firmer side, making it an excellent pick for back and stomach sleepers who need a balance of plush comfort and support. Support is one of the Birch’s strong suits, earning a rating of 4 out of 5. The individually wrapped steel coils provide zoned support, with firmer coils around the center for added lumbar support. The natural latex layer adds an extra boost, helping to keep your spine aligned. When lying on my stomach and back, I felt well-supported, with the coils lifting my hips in line with my shoulders to maintain neutral spinal alignment.

The pressure relief on the Birch Luxe is solid for back sleepers, earning a 4 out of 5. Looking at the pressure map, I saw mostly blue and green in the back-sleeping position, indicating a good balance of pressure relief and support. However, side sleepers might feel some pressure at the hips and shoulders, and I’d recommend a softer mattress for those sleepers to get more contouring around those joints.

Tthe edge support on the Birch Luxe Natural was decent, but not the best I’ve seen, scoring only a 3.5 out of 5. While I didn’t feel overly secure sitting on the edge of the bed (I did feel some slipping), I felt more supported when lying closer to the edges. It’s still a good option for couples or those who like to spread out, but if you have mobility issues, you might want a mattress with stronger edge support.
