Best Luxury Mattress

Motion isolation refers to a bed’s ability to prevent movement from traveling across the mattress. That means if you’re tossing and turning, your partner won’t feel your movement and experience sleep disturbance. I test motion isolation in mattresses using a seismometer test. I drop a 10-pound steel ball onto the bed from three different heights, and a seismometer on the other side of the bed measures the disturbance. The seismometer displays the results on a graph where the larger the lines, the higher the motion transfer, and the more likely you are to feel a partner’s movements.

The Saatva Classic is a bouncy, innerspring mattress made with two layers of coils. Because the coils make the bed so responsive, it’s easy for motion to travel across the mattress. Looking at the seismograph, I see some pretty harsh lines that indicate a lack of solid motion isolation. These aren’t terrible results, but sleepers with a restless partner may wake up due to motion.

If you’re looking for solid support, the Saatva has you covered. With two layers of sturdy coils, this bed lifted my body up and prevented me from sinking too far. A layer of zoned support memory foam helps keep the spine in a neutral position, thus preventing pain. This layer comes with Saatva’s Spinal Wire for additional back support. When laying on this bed, I felt super supported and secure.

When assessing mattresses for cooling, I first look at their materials and construction. Coil layers allow for air to flow in and out of the mattress without becoming trapped, and the Saatva has two coil layers for double the breathability. I thought the mattress felt breathable, and I think hot sleepers could appreciate this bed.

I next use a thermal gun to measure how much the bed heats up after laying on it for five minutes. I first record the initial mattress temperature, then lay on it for five minutes and take the mattress’s temperature again. If it heats up more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit, we consider it to have poor cooling capabilities. 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, 5 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, and less than 5 degrees indicates excellent cooling. When I performed this test on the Saatva, I found a temperature increase of 9.3 degrees, meaning it has good cooling abilities.

Edge support refers to the strength of the perimeter of the mattress. Ideally, the mattress’s edges will be just as supportive as the center of the bed. Strong edges can make a mattress feel bigger and allow sleepers to fully spread out without falling off the bed. Strong edges can also indicate durability, as weak edges can lead to premature sagging. The edge support on the Saatva is some of the most impressive I have ever seen in mattresses. When I sat on the edge of the bed, I felt super secure and lifted. I used a yardstick to measure how much the layers collapsed and was pleased to find less than half an inch of sinkage. I think this bed could appeal to people with mobility issues who rely on strong edges to get in and out of bed.

I evaluate pressure relief in mattresses using the pressure map test. I first roll a specialized mat onto the mattress and then lay on it in a variety of sleeping positions. This mat is able to sense pressure and translate the results into a graphic using thermal imaging. Areas displaying blue and green indicate low pressure, while areas displaying red and yellow indicate high pressure buildup.

I tested the Luxury Firm version of the Saatva. When I take a look at the pressure map, I see mostly blue and green when back and side sleeping. This means the Saatva is relieving pressure at the hips, back, and shoulders. I think this model is best for back sleepers because it finds a great balance between support and pressure relief. Stomach sleepers may find better relief from the Firm model, while side sleepers may find even more pressure relief from the Plush Soft model.

When I performed the seismometer test on the Helix Midnight Luxe, I found pretty average results. The lines on the seismograph weren’t huge, and their compactness tells me the motion doesn’t travel too much. However, I also performed the red wine test on this bed. This test involves placing a glass of red wine on one side of the bed and then tossing and turning on the other side. If the wine glass stands strong and the liquid doesn’t move, then we know the bed can isolate motion well. When doing this on the Midnight Luxe, the wine glass tipped over and spilled wine onto the bed. These results combined with the seismometer results indicate that this bed may not be the best at isolating motion, and you may feel a partner tossing and turning at night.

The Helix Midnight Luxe offers excellent support from every layer. The main support system in the bed is a layer of 1,000 individually wrapped coils that are zoned for support, meaning their firmness fluctuates depending on the part of the body they’re supporting. Under the coils is a layer of DuraDense foam. This layer adds additional structure to the bed and prevents the sleeper from sinking in too far, which can throw the spine out of alignment. When I slept on my side and back, I felt very lifted and supported. I think this mattress could be great for sleepers struggling with back pain and is even supportive enough for sleepers weighing over 250 pounds.

The Helix Midnight Luxe is packed with cooling technology that makes it a great choice for hot sleepers. First and foremost, the individually wrapped coils add space to the bed so air can flow in and out without getting trapped. The pillow top layer is also quilted with gel foam, and the comfort layer contains Copper Gel Memory Foam. Copper and Gel are two cooling materials that help with temperature regulation and draw heat away from the body. This bed comes with a Tencel cover, which is known for being soft, breathable, and cooling. If you’re a very hot sleeper, you can opt for the GlacioTex cooling cover for an additional cost.

When I used the thermal gun on the Midnight Luxe, I found a temperature increase of only 3.3 degrees after laying on the bed for five minutes. This indicates excellent cooling, which is unsurprising considering all the cooling technology inside the mattress.

The standard model of the Helix Midnight has two reinforced edges, but the Midnight Luxe model is reinforced on all four sides. When sitting and sleeping on the edges, I felt stable and didn’t feel like I was about to slip off the bed. Overall, I’m very pleased with the edge support on this bed and think it could be a good choice for couples or folks who simply want to spread out.

Taking a look at the Helix Midnight Luxe’s pressure map, I see only blue and green when side sleeping. This means the mattress is cradling the sensitive joints and preventing pressure (and therefore pain) from building. I thought the pillow top added some initial softness, yet the coils still kept me lifted. These are great results, which is why I gave the mattress 5 out of 5 stars for pressure relief.

I thought the motion transfer on the DreamCloud Premier was pretty good. This bed contains layers of memory foam up top, which help absorb motion and prevent it from traveling to the other side of the bed. The lines on the seismograph are very closely compacted, meaning the movement doesn’t ripple across the mattress too much. I think this bed could be good for couples, especially if one or both partners are light sleepers.

I gave the DreamCloud Premier 5 out of 5 stars for support because of its 8.5-inch pocketed coil layer that kept me lifted and supported. I felt a bit of sinkage from the top foam layers, but I overall felt more “on” the bed than “in” the bed. Although it’s a firmer mattress, it wasn’t too firm and still had a plush feeling that I enjoyed.

The moisture-wicking and breathable Mongolian cashmere blend cover kicks off the cooling in the DreamCloud Premier and gives it a cool-to-the-touch feel. This mattress also contains a tall layer of coils that gives the bed an airy construction and helps prevent heat trapping. I was a bit concerned by the amount of foam in this mattress because it doesn’t contain any gel or copper infusions that help dissipate heat. However, I thought it slept decently cool.

When I used my thermal gun on the mattress before and after laying on it for 5 minutes, I found a temperature increase of 13.5 degrees. This indicates decent cooling, but hot sleepers may want a mattress with a few more cooling features.

I found solid edge support on the DreamCloud Premier. The sinkage wasn’t concerning when I sat and laid near the edges, and I think the coils put in a lot of work to keep this bed standing strong. If you like to use the entire surface of the mattress, you should appreciate the edges on this bed.

Looking at the pressure map, I see entirely blue when I was back sleeping. There’s also very low pressure building when sleeping on my stomach. I think this bed could be a good choice for either of those sleeping positions, especially if the sleeper suffers from joint pain. However, I did see a bit of pressure forming along my shoulder when side sleeping. Most side sleepers should be comfortable on this bed, but side sleepers with preexisting shoulder pain may want to check out the new memory foam version of the DreamCloud Premier for even more pressure relief.

I’ll admit I was a bit worried about the WinkBed’s motion isolation results because of its bouncy coil layer. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the WinkBed’s seismograph. The pillow top and foam layer did a lot to help absorb motion and prevent it from traveling too harshly. I think you’re unlikely to wake up because of a partner’s tossing and turning. At most, you may feel larger movements, such as getting in and out of bed.

Although the WinkBed is a hybrid mattress, it feels very similar to a traditional innerspring mattress, which is known for being very supportive. When I lay on the bed, I felt myself being lifted up and out of the structure by the extra-tall layer of individually wrapped coils. These coils are zoned for support, so they’re softer or firmer depending on where the body needs more lift. I felt most supported when back sleeping, but I think side sleepers will also feel very supported and comfortable on this bed.

The WinkBed contains an extra-tall layer of coils that add tons of space inside the bed for air to flow. The bed also comes with a moisture-wicking and breathable Tencel cover and a gel-infused Euro pillow top that helps draw heat away from the body. The Tencel cover helps this bed feel cool to the touch, which hot sleepers can appreciate. When using my thermal gun on the WinkBed, I found a 7-degree temperature increase after laying on the mattress for 5 minutes. These are good results, and I think hot sleepers can sleep cool on this bed.

When sitting directly on the edge of the WinkBed, I felt pretty stable and secure. I used a yardstick to measure the sinkage and found the layers had only collapsed by less than half an inch. Laying directly on the side of the mattress felt a bit less stable, but I still didn’t feel at risk of slipping off the bed. The WinkBed performed well overall in this category, so I’d recommend it to couples.

The WinkBed comes in three models, and I tested the Luxury Firm version, which has a medium-firm feel. Taking a look at the pressure map, I think this bed is an excellent choice for back sleepers. The pressure was evenly distributed, and I think this bed could help relieve back pain. I can see a bit of pressure building at the hips and shoulders when sleeping on my side. If you’re a combination sleeper and don’t spend the entire night on your side, then you should be fine on his bed. However, strict side sleepers may want the Softer model for a bit more contouring at those sensitive joints.

When I performed the seismometer test on the Saatva Rx, I was very satisfied with the results. The lines on the graph aren’t too abrupt or large, and most spikes calm down pretty quickly. When I dropped the ball from the tallest height, which represents jumping on the bed, I saw some harsher lines. I think you’re unlikely to be disturbed by regular tossing and turning or getting in and out of bed, especially if you’re not a particularly light sleeper.

As a mattress designed for joint pain, it’s not surprising that the Saatva Rx is incredibly supportive. The first layer is a half-inch of gel-infused memory foam that’s zoned for support. The foam’s firmness fluctuates depending on what part of the body it’s supporting and where the sleeper needs more support. Below is a 1-inch micro coil layer that’s encased in high-density foam. Next is a layer of 8-inch pocketed coils that make up the mattress’s primary support system. When laying on this bed, I felt incredibly supported in every sleeping position while still enjoying the plush, comforting feel.

As a hybrid mattress, the Saatva Rx is very breathable due to its 8-inch pocketed coil layer. The cotton cover is naturally breathable, which hot sleepers can appreciate. Although foam can be known to trap heat, the Saatva Rx’s foam is infused with gel, which helps draw heat away from the body and promotes cooling. The foam caps on top of the coils are infused with graphite, another cooling material, to help with further temperature regulation.

When testing the bed’s temperature with my thermal gun, I found an 8-degree increase after 5 minutes of lying on the bed. This qualifies as good cooling. These results combined with the cooling construction makes the Saatva Rx a nice choice for hot sleepers.

The Saatva Rx contains a layer of coils that contain firmer caliber spring coils around the edges for reinforced edge support. However, I did notice a good amount of sinkage when sitting directly on the edge of the bed. When sleeping on the edges, there was less sinkage and I felt more secure. Overall, I think the Saatva Rx has good edge support, but people with mobility issues may want a bed with even stronger edges.

The Saatva Rx performed very well on my pressure map test. In both the back and side sleeping positions, I saw mostly blue and green, which indicates low pressure buildup. The bed is designed for people experiencing joint pain, and I think it lives up to its promise. I would definitely recommend this mattress to people experiencing hip, shoulder, or back pain.

When we take a look at the Nolah Evolution’s seismograph, we can see very small lines without harsh spiking. There are responsive coils in the mattress, but the foam layers up top do a great job absorbing the motion and preventing the sleeper on the other side from feeling it. I think couples can appreciate this bed’s motion isolating abilities and are unlikely to be disturbed by a partner’s tossing and turning.

The Nolah Evolution is a very supportive mattress containing HDMax EcoSupport Coils. As the main support system, the coils keep the sleeper lifted and prevent them from sinking too far into the bed. When I lay on the bed, I found a lot of support at my joints from the two comfort layers and the transition layer. The high-density foam at the bottom of the mattress rounds everything out and adds an extra supportive boost for the coils to bounce off of.

I think the Nolah Evolution is a great choice for hot sleepers. The first comfort layer contains Nolah’s ArticTex fibers designed to prevent the foam from getting too hot. The second comfort layer is made from Nolah’s AirFoam Ice, which is similar to the Nolah AirFoam but is infused with graphite for more temperature regulation. The coil layer cools down the bed even more by adding space for hot air to flow in and out without becoming trapped. I haven’t tested this bed yet with the thermal gun, so stay tuned for those results.

The 8-inch layer of patented HDMax EcoSupport coils help the Nolah Evolution maintain strong edge support. These edges are reinforced with Edge-Tech support foam that’s wrapped around the coil layer. When I sat directly on the edge, I felt a bit of sinkage yet still felt very stable and secure.

As a true medium-firm mattress, the Nolah Evolution does a great job balancing support with pressure relief. Looking at the pressure map, we see blues and greens when back and side sleeping, meaning the pressure is very low. The top layers of foam did a great job contouring around my hips, shoulders, and back, so I’d recommend this bed to side and back sleepers experiencing joint pain.

When testing the Aurora Luxe for motion isolation, I found decent results. The seismograph doesn’t display a lot of harsh, spiking lines, and the disturbance was pretty small overall. I think light sleepers who are easily awoken may be disturbed by a restless partner, but most sleepers should be able to sleep soundly. You may feel larger movement, but typical tossing and turning shouldn’t be an issue.

I gave the Aurora Luxe 5 out of 5 stars for support because it’s constructed from high-quality foams and a layer of zoned support coils. The foam helps with initial support, but it’s the 8-inch coil layer that’s the main support system in this bed. The coil’s firmness fluctuates throughout the bed depending on what part of the body needs the firmest support. When laying on this mattress, I feel a lot of lift, yet the mattress is still very cozy and comfortable.

I was very impressed by the cooling technology inside the Aurora Luxe. The bed contains a layer of gel-infused memory foam that helps draw heat away from the body. There’s also a layer of copper-infused foam that’s been treated with Brooklyn Bedding’s TitanCool phase change material that helps make the foam breathable. A layer of coils helps promote more airflow and breathability. 

When using the thermal gun on the Aurora Luxe, I found a 5-degree temperature increase after 5 minutes of resting on the bed. This means the mattress has excellent cooling abilities and could be a great choice for hot sleepers.

When I sat on the Aurora Luxe’s edges, I felt a good amount of support. There was some slight sinkage, and I used a yardstick to measure exactly two inches of collapsed layers. I’m not concerned by this sinkage because the top layers are made from compressible foam. I think the bed has solid edge support that makes it a good choice for couples.

If we take a look at the pressure map results for the Aurora Luxe, we can see nice pressure relief at the hips and back. I think sleepers struggling with pain in those areas could find some relief on this mattress. I tested the Medium model, but I would recommend the Soft model to sleepers with shoulder pain.

I was very impressed with the motion isolation on the Bear Elite Hybrid. When we take a look at the seismograph, we can see pretty small lines. The only large spike I observed came from dropping the steel ball from the tallest height, which represents someone jumping on the bed. I think typical tossing and turning or even getting in and out of bed shouldn’t disturb you or your partner unless you are particularly light sleepers.

With not just one coil layer, but two coil layers, the Bear Elite Hybrid is an incredibly supportive mattress. This construction adds a lot of lift to the bed, and I could feel it propping my spine into the proper position. I also felt a lot of support from the foam contour layer. This layer is zoned for support, so it’s softer or firmer depending on which part of the body it supports. I think this layer works nicely with the coils to create a comfortable yet sturdy sleeping surface.

With double the coils, the Bear Elite Hybrid offers double the room for air to flow in and out without becoming trapped. A layer of copper-infused memory foam adds additional cooling, as this material helps draw heat away from the body and keep the sleeper from overheating. Bear also offers an optional cooling cover made from Celliant, a phase change material that can help with cooling. This cover is available for an additional cost upon checkout, and I thought it helped a lot with cooling. 

When I tested the bed’s temperature increase after five minutes of laying on it, I discovered it heated up by 10 degrees. This qualifies as decent cooling, so I would recommend this mattress to hot sleepers. If you’re a very hot sleeper, I would recommend purchasing the optional cooling cover.

The edge support on the Bear Elite Hybrid was quite good. Edge-to-edge coils along the perimeter help reinforce the mattress and combat premature sagging. When I sat on the edge of the bed, I felt just a bit of sinkage. However, I still felt supported and lifted and thought the edges were just as strong as the center of the mattress. I would recommend this bed to both couples and people with mobility issues.

The Bear Elite Hybrid is offered in three firmness levels, and I tested the Medium model in this review. I found great pressure relief at the back, hips, and shoulders when sleeping on my back, so I think these sleepers could really like this mattress. When side sleeping, I saw a bit of pressure forming at the joints. This may not be a problem for some side sleepers, but those who have preexisting joint pain will probably find more contouring on the Soft model.

Based on the seismometer results, I think the Leesa Sapira Chill does a good job isolating motion. I don’t think the line spiking on the graphic is out of control, and most sound sleepers should be able to sleep through a partner’s tossing and turning without being disturbed. At most, you might feel your partner getting in and out of bed.

The main support system in this mattress is a layer of individually pocketed coils that are zoned for support to promote proper spinal alignment. The Leesa Sapira Chill also contains a layer of foam that helped contour my body and ease me onto the coils. I felt the most supported when back sleeping, as this mattress did a wonderful job filling in the space at my lumbar region and keeping me lifted.

As you can tell from its name, the Leesa Sapira Chill was designed for hot sleepers. The first thing I noticed about this bed was its initial cool-to-the-touch feel. According to Leesa, the mattress cover contains cooling fibers designed to keep the skin at 88 degrees. The bed also contains gel-infused foam and breathable coils for extra cooling. 

When I used my thermal gun on this bed, I found a temperature increase of 6.3 degrees after five minutes of lying on it. This indicates good cooling abilities, and I’d definitely recommend this mattress to sleepers prone to overheating.

When I sat and lay on the edge of the Leesa Sapira Chill, I felt super secure and stable. The edges did a great job keeping my body lifted and preventing me from falling off the bed. I think couples could appreciate the strong edge support on this bed, as it can allow both partners to fully spread out.

I was overall very impressed with the motion isolation results for the Sterns & Foster Lux Estate. As you can see on the graph, the lines are quite small, and I don’t see any out of control spikes. The motion ripples seem to calm down pretty quickly, so I’d say this mattress is a good choice for couples, especially if one or both partners toss and turn.

I gave the Lux Estate 5 out of 5 stars for support because it promotes spinal alignment for most body types and sleeping positions without sacrificing comfort. The main support system in this mattress is a layer of Stern & Foster’s proprietary IntelliCoil innerspring system. I think this layer gives the bed a super solid foundation and helps keep the sleeper lifted and supported. Above these coils are TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam and IntelliCoil MicroLayer. These two materials work together to provide initial support as the sleeper is eased onto the main coil system.

The Luxe Estate is a great option for hot sleepers seeking a cooling mattress. Straight away, I noticed some cooling from the breathable and moisture-wicking Tencel cover. The coil layer and micro coils help add space inside the bed for air to flow freely without getting trapped. This mattress also has air vents on its sides, which makes it even more breathable. I haven’t tested this bed with my thermal gun yet, so stay tuned for those results. Overall, I’d say this bed sleeps incredibly cool.

I think this mattress has solid edge support. I felt lifted even when lying down directly on the edge of the bed, and I didn’t feel like I was about to slip off the mattress. There was a bit of sinkage from the pillow top, but that’s to be expected. Overall, I’d recommend this bed to people who like to spread out or sleep near the edge.

The Lux Estate did a great job relieving pressure regardless of the sleeping position. Back sleepers can appreciate the overwhelming amount of blue on the pressure map, indicating they are unlikely to experience back, shoulder, or hip pain. Since this mattress is pretty firm, side sleepers may experience pressure building on this model. I’d recommend the Soft model to side sleepers, the Medium model to back sleepers, and the Firm model to stomach sleepers.

Typically, all-foam mattresses are better at absorbing motion, while mattresses containing coils tend to let motion travel and ripple across the bed. Since the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt is an all-foam bed, it’s not surprising that it performed well on my motion isolation test. Looking at the seismometer results, the lines aren’t too harsh or out of control. I think this bed does a good job isolating smaller movements, such as tossing and turning. At most, you may feel larger movements like getting in and out of bed.

Without supportive coils, this mattress is more pressure relieving than supportive. This bed is quite soft due to the layers of contouring memory foam up top. Below, we find a layer of high-density poly foam. This layer adds shape to the mattress and prevents the sleeper from sinking too far into the bed. However, I will say that not all sleeping positions and body types will feel supported on this bed. I’d recommend this mattress to lightweight and average weight side sleepers.

Memory foam has a reputation for trapping heat. Without the use of coils, this bed isn’t as airy and breathable as some of the other beds on this roundup. However, it does have some cooling features, like the Phase Change Material in the mattress cover that helps draw heat away from the body. If you’re a hot sleeper, you may need a mattress with a few more cooling features.

I wasn’t overly impressed with the edge support on the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt mattress. Since it doesn’t contain coils or reinforced edges, I felt a lot of sinkage when sitting and lying on the edges. This isn’t the worst edge support I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely not the best. Solo sleepers may not mind this, but people with mobility issues or people wanting to spread out may want a bed with stronger edges.

I was very impressed with the TEMPUR-LuxeAdapt’s ability to relieve pressure. Since it’s a soft, foam mattress, it offers a lot of sinkage and body contouring. Side sleepers or people with sensitive joints can appreciate the comforting hug feeling around their hips, shoulders, and lumbar region.
