Best Mattress for Adjustable Beds of 2024

Who It’s Best For: So long as you choose a firmness option that matches your needs, the WinkBed offers a comfortable sleep for people of all body types and sleep position preferences.

Feel: The WinkBed’s feel varies between firmness options due to their different designs, which range from the gentle “”hug”” of the Softer model to the responsive bounce of the WinkBed Plus.

What It’s Made Of: All four WinkBed models feature a pocketed coil support core. The Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer models pair a Euro-top with polyfoam layers, while the WinkBed Plus uses both natural latex and polyfoam in its comfort system.

What We Don’t Like: The WinkBed is better at isolating motion than many other hybrid mattresses, but very light sleepers might still find that they notice when their sleep partner rolls over or changes position. It is also important to choose the right firmness option, which in some cases may involve returning your chosen model for a different option.

Who It’s Best For: Although designed with side sleepers in mind, the Helix Midnight also works well for back sleepers. However, stomach sleepers and anyone above 230 pounds may find that it lacks the support they need.

Feel: The Helix Midnight’s comfort system provides plenty of soothing pressure relief without sacrificing support, giving it a cozy but balanced feel that we rate as medium firm (6).

What It’s Made Of: The Helix Midnight has a five-layer design that incorporates memory foam, pocketed coils, and three different polyfoam densities. The standard cover is polyester, although a cooling GlacioTex fabric cover is available for an additional cost.

What We Don’t Like: The Helix Midnight sleeps warmer than some of its hybrid competitors, although upgrading to the GlacioTex fabric cover may provide better temperature control. The mattress also lacks the edge support suggested by its reinforced edges, which may make it less suitable for people with mobility concerns.

Who It’s Best For:

Nectar’s all-foam Classic, Premier, and Luxe mattresses are ideal for sleepers who enjoy the deep contouring and cradling of memory foam. Our tests show side sleepers are particularly well suited to these models. If you’d like a bit more firmness and bounce, one of Nectar’s hybrid models will probably be a better match.

Feel: Nectar foam mattresses hug the body closely, creating a deep cradle that molds to your body’s unique curves. All three of these models are medium firm (6). The Classic Hybrid is also medium firm, while the Premier Hybrid and Luxe Hybrid are firm (7) — these models contour to a lighter extent and don’t sink as much beneath your weight.

What It’s Made Of: All Nectar foam mattresses feature three-layer designs, but differ in terms of how thick the top two layers are. The same is true of Nectar’s hybrids. All-foam models are constructed with high-density base foam in their support cores, whereas the hybrids contain pocketed coils for extra reinforcement and bounce.

What We Don’t Like: Since Nectar mattresses are designed with foam layers, the initial off-gassing odor can be strong and overwhelming for the first few nights. If you opt for one of the thicker models, you may also notice less support and more compression along the edges.

Who It’s Best For: While they should be careful to choose the right firmness option for their needs, the Evolution 15 is an appealing choice for side sleepers of all body types. Back and stomach sleepers over 130 pounds may also enjoy the firm model of this mattress.

Feel: The Evolution 15 is available in medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8). It has a unique feel that is fluffy yet conforming, with responsive zoned support that encourages proper spinal alignment but may take time for some sleepers to adapt to.

What It’s Made Of: The Evolution 15 incorporates proprietary materials, including heat-dissipating ArcticTex fibers in the organic cotton cover and a two-inch layer of zoned AirFoam polyfoam. Other components include a Euro-top with quilted polyfoam, multiple polyfoam layers, and an eight-inch pocketed coil support core.

What We Don’t Like: The Evolution 15 is a divisive mattress, as some sleepers love its unique feel while others dislike the amount of pushback and lack of deeply contouring pressure relief. Luckily, Nolah’s 120-night sleep trial lets customers take their time deciding whether it’s right for them.

Who It’s Best For: The Essential contains foam comfort layers, but won’t conform as closely to the body as other foam hybrids we’ve tested. Back and stomach sleepers should appreciate the gentle contouring and sturdy support of this mattress.

Feel: Our team has rated the Essential as medium firm (6). There’s minimal cushioning in the comfort system with two polyfoam layers, so expect some light contouring as opposed to the deep hug many associate with memory foam. The coils also deliver a strong bounce in response to your movements.

What It’s Made Of: Thin layers of polyfoam and dense transitional foam make up the comfort layers, while the support core contains pocketed coils and base foam. A cover made from a cotton-polyester blend encases the mattress. The Essential measures just over 10 inches thick, so you won’t need to buy deep-pocket sheets.

What We Don’t Like: The Essential is quite bouncy, and this may affect sleep for couples and co-sleepers. Side sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less may also find the mattress too firm — these sleepers typically need more plushness and cushioning.

Who It’s Best For: Side and back sleepers are likely to appreciate the Leesa Sapira regardless of their body type. Although the design is less effective for stomach sleepers, it is still a comfortable choice for those between 130 and 230 pounds.

Feel: Although you can feel the support in this medium firm (6) mattress, its cradling foam layers give it plenty of cushioning for the balanced feel many people look for in a hybrid mattress.

What It’s Made Of: The Leesa Sapira’s four-inch comfort system includes a memory foam layer sandwiched by polyfoam, providing the mattress with its gently conforming feel. Support is provided by high-density polyfoam and a six-inch layer of pocketed coils.

What We Don’t Like: Although the Leesa Sapira is a comfortable choice for most sleepers, its lack of support for stomach sleepers — particularly those below 130 pounds or above 230 pounds — may take it out of the running for some couples.

Who It’s Best For: The Layla Hybrid is most comfortable for sleepers above 230 pounds, regardless of their preferred sleep position. Side sleepers under 130 pound, as well as back and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, may also find the Layla Hybrid a good choice.

Feel: The feel of the Layla Hybrid depends on which side you choose. The soft side creates a deep cradling effect with exceptional pressure relief, while the firm side has a much more responsive feel with minimal contouring.

What It’s Made Of: The Layla Hybrid is built out from a six-inch pocketed-coil support core that is sandwiched between each side’s comfort system. Both sides feature the same materials — polyfoam and copper-infused memory foam — but the soft side is nearly twice as thick for a plusher feel.

What We Don’t Like: Despite being reversible, the Layla Hybrid is quite heavy and some people may find it difficult to flip without help. Also, while the firm side is the better option for many sleepers, it is less pressure-relieving and motion-isolating than the soft side.

Who It’s Best For: The Bear Elite Hybrid received excellent reviews from side sleepers of all body types, as well as back sleepers above 130 pounds. Stomach sleepers are less likely to enjoy this mattress, although the firmer models may appeal to some stomach sleepers above 130 pounds.

Feel: The Bear Elite Hybrid is available in medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8). It is designed to help prevent spinal misalignment and has a supportive-yet-cushioned feel. There is enough pressure-relieving contouring to leave most people feeling comfortably cradled, though some sleepers may find this makes it difficult to change positions.

What It’s Made Of: The Bear Elite Hybrid has a deceptively simple comfort system that consists of copper-infused memory foam and zoned polyfoam, with the latter featuring cut outs that improve both airflow and pressure relief. Pocketed coils and high-density polyfoam provide support, while the quilted cover with Celliant fibers and phase-change material is designed to help the mattress sleep cool.

What We Don’t Like: While the layer of memory foam provides exceptional pressure relief, its deeply-contouring cradle can make it difficult to roll over or change positions. This effect is particularly noticeable for people with mobility concerns, who may prefer a bouncier mattress with less sink.

Who It’s Best For: With 50 firmness settings to choose from, ranging from soft (3) to firm (8), the Solaire is designed to appeal to sleepers of all body types and sleep preferences. However, back and stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find it difficult to choose a firmness that works for their needs.

Feel: The feel of the Solaire can vary significantly depending on your chosen firmness level, but the comfort system ensures that support is always paired with targeted pressure relief. Despite this, it is easier to change positions or roll over than you might expect from the level of contouring.

What It’s Made Of: The Solaire has a complex design even when compared to other airbeds. Its adjustable firmness is provided by vulcanized rubber air chambers, which form the core of the bed. The comfort system includes many different materials, including an organic cotton and quilted polyfoam pillow-top, zoned Talalay latex, low-density gel-infused memory foam, and a protective layer of polyfoam and PVC sheeting over the air chambers.

What We Don’t Like: The Solaire’s major drawback is its cost. Airbeds are among the most expensive mattresses, and the Solaire’s price-point is at the upper end of average in this category.

Who It’s Best For: The Birch mattress is suitable for all sleepers who weigh more than 130 pounds, although side and stomach sleepers rank it slightly higher than side sleepers. People who weigh less than 130 pounds are unlikely to find this mattress comfortable.

Feel: The combination of soft Talalay latex and wool batting creates a comfort system that is bouncy and responsive while still feeling plush and cushioned. Unlike memory foam, latex provides pressure relief without close contouring or making you feel as though you are sinking into the mattress.

What It’s Made Of: Beneath its organic cotton cover, the Birch mattress features layers of wool batting and Talalay latex that has been ventilated for better airflow. Its support core includes pocketed coils with a reinforced perimeter, as well as additional wool batting.

What We Don’t Like: One of the few downsides of latex is that it isolates motion poorly when compared to synthetic foams. Most people are unlikely to notice, but light sleepers may find that they are disturbed when their partner rolls over during the night.
