Best Hypoallergenic Mattress (2025): Say Sayonara to Nighttime Sniffles

The DreamCloud mattress is my top pick for the best hypoallergenic mattress for several reasons. First, its high-quality materials include a gel-infused memory foam layer, dense transitional polyfoam, and sturdy innerspring coils. If you have allergies, you can also rest easy knowing that you won’t have a reaction to the DreamCloud at night, thanks to its cashmere cover layer, which is  naturally resistant to dust mites and other common allergens, making it more hypoallergenic than other options. Further solidifying its quality, the mattress earned a 4.5 out of 5 or higher in key testing categories like pressure relief, edge support, and responsiveness.

What we love most about the DreamCloud is its versatility. Our mattress testers found that its excellent pressure-relieving performance makes it a great fit for a wide range of sleepers. Based on their feedback, I gave it a 4.5 out of 5 in this category.

“The DreamCloud does a stellar job relieving tension around the lower back,” said mattress tester Bridget Chapman. “As I sank into this bed, I could feel its top layers of foam filling in the space at my lumbar region for some pleasant pressure relief.”

The DreamCloud also earned another 4.5 out of 5 for its edge support. Thanks to its pocketed coil layer, the perimeter of this mattress feels just as supportive as it does in the middle of the bed. Our mattress testers had no trouble sitting and lying down along the edges of the bed. This is a big plus for couples who like to sprawl out to the far reaches of the mattress and folks with mobility concerns who need a strong surface to bear down on in the morning.

However, the DreamCloud’s real crown jewel is its stellar responsiveness, which earned it a perfect 5 out of 5 in this category. If a mattress is responsive, it makes it easy for you to move around and change positions. This is a perk for combination sleepers who frequently toss and turn to get comfortable at night.

While the DreamCloud is a versatile option that could suit a variety of sleepers, I wouldn’t recommend this mattress to people who are sensitive to motion and folks with hip pain. Our mattress testers gave it a motion isolation score of 3.5 out of 5, meaning it’s about average.

“I thought it did a decent job, especially for a bouncy hybrid mattress,” said Bridget. “However, I think you’re still likely to be bothered by your partner or pet’s movements at night, especially if they get in and out of bed a lot.”

And despite the DreamCloud’s near-perfect pressure relief score, our testers noticed a little bit of pressure buildup in their hips while testing this mattress on their sides. This shouldn’t be an issue for most sleepers, but sleepers with hip pain would probably fare better on a softer mattress.

The Nolah Natural is an 11-inch mattress made with hypoallergenic and eco-friendly materials, including organic latex, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic wool, GOTS-certified cotton, and recycled steel coils. It’s also a side sleeper’s dream come true thanks to its excellent performance in the pressure relief, edge support, and responsiveness categories, where it earned a 4 out of 5 or higher.

A challenge that side sleepers face when mattress shopping is finding one that is supportive enough to keep their spines in healthy alignment yet soft enough to cradle sensitive areas like their hips and shoulders. Fortunately, side sleepers can enjoy both on this mattress, thanks to its ultra-soft and breathable organic cotton cover and supportive innerspring coils. Our mattress testers gave its pressure relief a 4.17 out of 5 because it struck an even balance of contouring and support in the side-sleeping position.

“I like that this mattress is a little firmer,” said mattress tester Erin Chiles. “I’m not sinking in too much, and I feel comfortable and supported on my side.”

Edge support was another category the Nolah Natural mattress performed well in, earning a near-perfect 4.8 out of 5. Side sleepers can sleep anywhere on this bed, knowing they will get the same sturdy support even on its furthermost corners.

“I was really impressed with the edge support lying down,” said mattress tester Riley Otis. “I didn’t feel any significant sinkage or sagging, and I think this bed would allow couples to fully spread out and sleep right up to the edge.”

Like most natural latex mattresses, the Nolah is a slam dunk for combination sleepers, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 in responsiveness. If you’re a side sleeper who frequently switches between your side and back or side and stomach, you should have no trouble changing positions on this mattress.

However, as great as the Nolah Natural is for side and combination sleepers, it’s not perfect. I wouldn’t recommend this bed to folks who get very hot at night, as its cooling was only average. Our testers also found that it had less-than-stellar motion isolation, meaning if you are easily disturbed, you will probably feel every movement your partner or pet makes on your side of the bed.

Every inch of the Nectar Premier is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it’s free from VOCs (volatile organic compounds), harmful chemicals, and heavy metals. The cover layer on this mattress also has polyethylene fibers, which work hard to wick away heat and create a cool-to-the-touch feel. During testing, the Premier excelled in cooling and edge support, earning a 4 out of 5 in both categories. This mattress is a fantastic option for couples who sleep hot or want a mattress that lets them spread out at night.

If you and your partner prefer the slow-sinking feel of memory foam but are worried about its heat-trapping tendencies, the Nectar Premier might be the bed you’ve been wishing for. Unlike most other all-foam models, the Nectar Premier does a great job of regulating temperature. When our testers measured its surface temperature before and after lying on it for 5 minutes, they found that it only increased by 6.6 degrees. Based on these results, our mattress testers awarded it a 4 out of 5 for cooling, which is impressive for a memory foam mattress.

“After lying on it for 5 minutes, the mattress only felt a little warmer to the touch,” said mattress tester Dan Caffrey. “But when you get up and push your hand into it, it immediately feels cool again.”

The Nectar Premier is also a solid pick for couples who tend to gravitate toward the edges of the mattress. Our testers gave it a 4 out of 5 in the edge support category because they felt secure while sitting and lying on the perimeter of the mattress. Robust edge support is another impressive feat for the all-foam Premier because most memory foam models tend to collapse as you move toward the outer reaches of the bed.

“Despite being able to feel some sinkage, I felt very supported while lying near the edge of the mattress,” Dan said.

However, there are a couple of things to be aware of before buying Nectar Premier. If you or your partner are sensitive to movement, I suggest looking for a mattress with better motion isolation. Dan found that its motion-dampening abilities were about average. If your partner is a particularly restless sleeper, you will likely feel them tossing and turning throughout the night.

Dan also found it somewhat challenging to switch between different sleeping positions on this bed.

“I struggled just a little bit to switch from my back to my stomach,” he said. “But everything else was pretty easy. I have the Nectar Classic at home, and it’s more responsive than this one.”

Thanks to its natural bouncy latex, the Saatva Latex has a more “on top” feel that prevents sleepers from sinking too far into its layers. Our testers gave this mattress a 5 out of 5 in responsiveness because its firm and bouncy construction enabled them to easily maneuver between sleeping positions. In other words, this bed is perfect for combination sleepers in the market for a hypoallergenic option.

Combination sleepers, or folks who switch between multiple sleeping positions throughout the night, need a responsive mattress that enables them to move around without feeling trapped. Our testers found that the Latex Hybrid is more responsive than most innerspring mattresses thanks to its combination of bouncy latex and innerspring coils and awarded it a perfect 5-star rating in the responsiveness category.

“The latex construction made this mattress feel very springy, which helped me switch positions,” said mattress tester Riley Otis. “I found it easy to move around on this bed. It also has a lot of lift, so I never felt trapped in the foam.”

However, superb responsiveness often comes at the price of motion isolation, and the Saatva Latex Hybrid is no exception. Riley and her fellow mattress testers thought this mattress had lackluster motion-dampening abilities.

“When lying on the bed with my testing partner, I could feel pretty much every movement she made,” Riley said. “I could feel the vibrations traveling to my side of the mattress. Her tossing and turning jostled my body around. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this bed to light sleepers.”

Our testers also found that the Saatva Latex Hybrid had just average edge support. While they felt more supported lying down on the perimeter of the mattress, they found more sinkage when sitting on the edges and corners of the bed. Based on their feedback, I wouldn’t recommend the Latex Hybrid to folks with mobility concerns who need a sturdy surface when getting up in the morning.

Sleepopolis Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta says, “A mattress can worsen your allergy symptoms if it attracts dust mites, promotes mildew and mold growth, or is made of allergenic materials.” Fortunately for allergy sufferers, the Birch Natural is a fully organic hypoallergenic mattress backed by top-tier certifications, including GREENGUARD Gold, GOTS, and Eco-INSTITUT. Better yet, our mattress testers gave it a 4 out of 5 or higher in motion isolation and responsiveness — two categories that normally don’t play nice with each other.

Our mattress testers gave the Birch 5 stars for responsiveness thanks to its springy natural latex and coils, which make it easy to move around on — something that’s great for both combination sleeping and sex.

“It’s super-easy to switch between different positions on this bed,” said mattress tester Dan Caffrey. “I don’t feel much sinkage when I roll over, and I have no problem moving from my back to side to stomach.”

The Birch Natural also has surprisingly good motion isolation for a bed filled with bouncy latex and springy coils. Our testers gave it a 4 out of 5 in the motion isolation category because of its solid performance on our couples test, in which one tester lies blindfolded on one side of the bed as another tester gets in and out of bed and moves around on the other.

“I felt a little bit of movement coming from my testing partner’s side of the bed, but not too much,” Dan said. “The Birch has surprisingly good motion isolation overall.”

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a perfect mattress, and the Birch is no exception. We would not recommend this mattress to side sleepers who suffer from aches and pains or people who sleep extra-hot. During testing, our mattress testers felt some pressure buildup along their shoulders and hips while lying on their sides. They also felt it heating up as they were lying down on it. While most sleepers should feel comfortable and cozy on the Birch, we’d recommend looking for a better cooling mattress if you typically wake up covered in sweat.

The Helix brand offers numerous mattresses, and the Helix Dawn is the firmest bed in its standard line. This hybrid mattress combines hypoallergenic memory foam layers and supportive pocketed coils for balanced support and comfort. Our mattress testers found the firm feel of the Helix Dawn to be a nice fit for stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and heavyweight sleepers alike. We were impressed by its overall performance and awarded it a 4 out of 5 or higher in responsiveness, edge support, and cooling.

Like many other firm hybrid mattresses, the Helix Dawn has excellent responsiveness. Our testers gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 in this category because they were impressed by how easy it was to maneuver on the Helix Dawn.

“This is a very bouncy, responsive mattress,” said mattress tester Dan Caffrey. “Its firmness and hybrid construction made it easy to switch positions. I felt no sinkage or difficulty of movement whatsoever when moving from my back to my side to my stomach.”

We also found that the Helix Dawn has extra-sturdy edge support, meaning it’s just as firm and supportive at the perimeter as it is in the center. We gave it a strong 4 out of 5 in this category because, aside from a slight dip while sitting on the edge, our testers felt secure while lying down and switching positions on either side of the mattress.

“I felt adequately supported while lying near the edge,” Dan said. “I could feel the perimeter dipping a little while on my side, but not to the point where I felt unstable.”

Last but not least, the Helix Dawn is also a solid choice for hot sleepers. We test cooling by using a thermal gun to measure the temperature of the mattress surface before and after lying on it for 5 minutes. During this test, we found that it increased by 7.8 degrees, which indicates good temperature regulation. Our testers gave this a 4 out of 5 for its cooling overall.

However, the Helix Dawn is not without its shortcomings. Our mattress testers found it performed weaker in motion isolation and side-sleeping pressure relief and gave it a 3 and 2.7 out of 5 in those categories, respectively.

Long story short, we would not recommend this firm mattress to folks with restless pets or partners, as they will likely feel every movement coming from the opposite side of the bed. We also think it’s a bit too firm for strict side sleepers. These folks will not get the gentle contouring and cushioning they need around high-pressure areas like their shoulders and hips.

If you buy the WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress, you can rest assured knowing you’re sleeping on hypoallergenic and organic materials. This mattress includes a cover made from cotton and sustainable New Zealand wool and a 4-inch comfort layer of Talalay latex, which is antimicrobial and non-toxic. However, the icing on the organic cake is the incredible performance for back pain relief. Our mattress testers gave it a 5 and 4.5 for support and edge support, respectively, which are crucial for alleviating back pain.

Many sleepers suffer from back pain due to a lack of support as they sleep. A supportive mattress should prop up the area around your hips to keep your spine in a neutral position with the rest of your body. Maintaining proper sleep posture is more important than you think; one study even found that it helps prevent pain and spinal issues.

“A suitable mattress can help ease back pain by providing proper support that keeps your spine aligned naturally, reducing muscle strain,” explains Dr. Dasgupta. “It also distributes your body weight evenly and relieves pressure points that can cause discomfort. The mattress adapts to your preferred sleeping position, whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper.”

Our mattress testers awarded this mattress a perfect 5 out of 5 for support and a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 for edge support, meaning that no matter where sleepers find themselves on this mattress, they should get ample support and pressure relief around their lower lumbar spine.

“I think the EcoCloud is a great organic mattress for back sleepers,” said mattress tester Nichole Mondshein. “It has zoned support, which should help promote a neutral spinal alignment, especially when lying on your back.”

While the EcoCloud is ideal for back sleepers, we wouldn’t recommend it to side sleepers under 130 pounds or couples who are sensitive to movement at night. Side sleepers in this weight category will likely need something softer to cushion their hips and shoulders. Meanwhile, couples sensitive to motion will likely feel every little stir in the middle of the night.

“While testing the EcoCloud with a colleague, I could feel everything they were doing from the moment he got into bed to when he switched between various sleeping positions and left,” Nichole said. “In other words, this mattress is probably not the best choice for couples with a restless partner.”

The Bear Star Hybrid is a hypoallergenic mattress created with cooling in mind. The brand features Celliant in its optional cover, gel-infused memory foam in its comfort layer, and pocketed coils in its base layer, all of which help promote airflow, dissipate body heat, and keep sleepers cool throughout the night. My fellow mattress testers and I gave the Star Hybrid a strong 4 out of 5 in cooling, alongside high scores in edge support and responsiveness.

If you tend to sleep hot, I think the Bear Star Hybrid is a viable option to help keep the sweating at bay. I measured the surface temperature of the Star Hybrid before and after lying on it for 5 minutes to see how much heat it trapped and found that it increased by about 7 degrees. 

After getting up and touching the area I lay on, I felt the pillow-top mattress cover was just a tad warmer than before I got into bed. I thought its minimal heat retention was impressive, considering pillow tops are notorious for transforming into a furnace after absorbing body heat. Based on its performance, I gave it a 4 out of 5 for cooling.

My fellow mattress tester, Livvi DiCicco, and I also loved the Star Hybrid’s robust edge support and awarded it a 4.6 out of 5 in this category. 

“Lying down on each position, I felt pretty secure,” Livvi said. “If I was super-close to the edge, I noticed a teeny amount of sinkage.”

Responsiveness, however, was where the Bear Star Hybrid really shined. It was very easy to roll around and switch between different sleeping positions. I had no trouble whatsoever with this mattress. Livvi and I gave it a perfect 5 out of 5 in the responsiveness category because of how easy it was for us to maneuver.

The only areas where the Star Hybrid faltered were side-sleeping pressure relief and motion isolation. While lying on my side, I didn’t feel any pressure relief or contouring around my hips or shoulders. I also felt all of Livvi’s movements on my side of the bed during the couples motion isolation test, meaning that folks with restless partners should probably choose a different mattress.

The best part about hybrid mattresses is how they balance comfort and support, but sadly, not all can ward off allergens. Fortunately, that”s not the case with the Brooklyn Bedding EcoSleep. The EcoSleep uses Earth-friendly and hypoallergenic materials throughout its construction and earned a 4 out of 5 or higher in responsiveness and edge support.

If you’re someone who tosses, turns, rolls, and changes positions throughout the night, you need a mattress that doubles as a springboard for your nightly gymnastics. The good news is our mattress testers found the EcoSleep incredibly easy to move around and awarded it a 4.5 out of 5 for responsiveness.

“I love how responsive the EcoSleep is,” said mattress tester Logan Block. “Changing positions will probably be easy for most people. Even if you sink into the latex a bit, you’re not going to feel stuck in this mattress.”

If your dreams cause you to travel to the far reaches of the mattress, you will not have to worry about falling off of the EcoSleep. Thanks to its robust edge support, you should feel as secure on the mattress perimeter as you do in the center. Our mattress testers gave the EcoSleep a 4 out of 5 in edge support.

“I only felt a tiny dip while sitting on the side of the bed,” Logan said. “Otherwise, lying down on the very far reaches felt stable and secure.”

All that said, we wouldn’t recommend this mattress to strict side sleepers or couples. The EcoSleep model is probably not ideal for folks who sleep on their sides because of its subpar pressure relief in the shoulders. Additionally, sleepers with a partner may have trouble because of the high amount of motion transferred across the mattress.
