The Most Comfortable Mattress of 2026

Thanks to the responsive pocketed coils, pillow-top design, and thick foam comfort system, the Midnight Luxe performed well during our motion isolation tests, preventing too much movement from rippling across the surface. Our testing showed that the mattress also sleeps cool, due in part to the strong airflow through the coils. We recommend the mattress for most sleepers up to 230 pounds, though we observed that side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds benefit the most from the bed’s balance of pressure relief and support.

Construction Breakdown

The Midnight Luxe has a quilted pillow-top design, beginning with polyfoam and gel-infused memory foam layers that contour closely to the body to relieve pressure points. Beneath is a polyfoam transitional layer that prevents you from sinking too far into the bed. Next is a substantial pocketed coil support core, providing significant support and allowing for airflow throughout the mattress. The coil layer also provides extra support in the lumbar area as well as along the bed’s perimeter.

For the cover, you may choose between a breathable Tencel cover or a GlacioTex Cooling cover, which is a fabric that keeps the surface cool using phase change technology. Note that the latter carries an additional cost.

Most of our testing team gave high marks to the CopperFlex, with side sleepers of at least 130 pounds and back sleepers up to 230 pounds awarding the mattress its most favorable ratings. Stomach sleepers under 130 pounds should also find the CopperFlex comfortable and sufficiently supportive, whereas back and stomach sleepers over 230 pounds may need a firmer mattress.

We were greatly impressed with the CopperFlex during our tests for motion isolation and pressure relief. Both can be attributed to the bed’s all-foam construction with plush layers in the comfort system, which absorb movement and cradle the body to reduce pressure buildup. Our team also found the mattress sleeps cool — some heat retention may occur, but the CopperFlex outperforms most competing foam models.

Construction Breakdown

The CopperFlex contains six individual layers, beginning with a thin strip of adaptive polyfoam quilted to the cover. Two memory foam layers give the comfort system a cushy, adaptive feel, and a copper fiber infusion helps the mattress stay cool. The transitional foam is divided into three firmness zones to feel firmer and more supportive beneath your torso and hips. A support core consisting of two high-density polyfoam layers provides great overall stability, and the cover is made of GlacioTex fabric that’s designed to dissipate body heat on contact.

After testing each firmness level for the WinkBed, we noticed specific strengths for all four options. The medium soft (4) model contoured closely to distribute our testers’ weight and alleviated pressure along the spine. This design was most popular among our side and back sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds. If you want a more balanced feel, you should consider the medium-firm (6) feel, which provides light conforming and excellent overall support. Our back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds awarded the most favorable ratings to this design.

The firm (7) and Plus (8) models should provide adequate reinforcement if you weigh more than 230 pounds, regardless of your sleep position. These versions of the WinkBed also earned excellent ratings for edge support, and none of us had trouble moving across their surfaces. Another area where the WinkBed performed well is temperature control, due to its cooling Tencel cover and steady air circulation through the coils.

Construction Breakdown

Standard WinkBed models are available in medium-soft, medium-firm, and firm designs. These mattresses feature adaptive polyfoam quilted into their covers, followed by polyfoam comfort layers. The WinkBed Plus is constructed with responsive latex instead of a second foam layer. As a result, the Plus felt bouncier and more supportive than the other three models.

All WinkBeds contain pocketed coil support cores. This layer is divided into different zones based on coil gauge, or thickness, creating more pushback beneath your torso and hips and gentler cradling for lighter areas of your body. A cover made of breathable, moisture-wicking Tencel fabric encases the mattress.

During our tests, the Sapira Hybrid earned high marks from our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and our back and stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds. Side sleepers enjoy the close yet even contouring and pressure relief along the spine. Meanwhile, back and stomach sleepers can lie comfortably without sinking too deeply around the midsection.

Steady airflow through the comfort and support systems helped the Sapira Hybrid excel during our temperature control tests, as did the open-cell foam layers and breathable cover. The responsiveness should provide enough bounce for sex, but the foam layers absorbed a good deal of movement when we tested the mattress for motion isolation.

Construction Breakdown

The Sapira Chill Hybrid’s comfort system consists of gel-infused adaptive polyfoam, standard polyfoam, and transitional memory foam layers. How dense and supportive these materials feel depends on which firmness level you select, though all provide at least a little cushioning on the surface.

The pocketed coil support core is zoned to create extra pushback beneath your torso and hips. A base layer of high-density foam provides additional stability. A knit polyester cover bearing Leesa’s signature stripe pattern encases the mattress.

You can choose between three firmness levels for your Classic: soft (3), medium firm (6), or firm (8). You can also choose between two thickness options. This wide range of options ensures most people can find a comfortable feel regardless of body type or general preferences.

During our tests, the deep cradling of the soft model felt most comfortable to testers who sleep on their side and weigh up to 130 pounds. The medium-firm model offered a balance of cushioning and support that earned high marks from our side and back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. The firm model felt most comfortable to testers who weigh over 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers above 130 pounds.

We found temperature control was one of the Classic’s biggest strengths, due to the breathable organic cotton cover and the dual coil design, which allows plenty of steady airflow through the mattress. As a result, we recommend the mattress for people who tend to sleep hot.

Construction Breakdown

The mattress features a Euro-top cushioned with polyfoam and memory foam, resulting in a plush feel on the surface. Beneath is a transitional layer composed of pocketed minicoils that respond to your body while also providing pushback to balance out the contouring foams above. A support core of sturdy hourglass coils made the Classic feel exceptionally stable during our performance tests, especially along the edges.

The Evolution 15 comes in three firmness levels — medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8). Our side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds enjoyed the softest model’s deep contouring for pressure points. The mid-range model was the most versatile, earning its highest ratings from side sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds, back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds, and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. Our back sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds and stomach sleepers over 230 pounds enjoyed the firmest model’s even support.

Couples who value motion isolation may prefer the softest model, which absorbed most noise and movement transfer in our tests. We recommend the two firmer models for those who prioritize a responsive surface for sex. All three models excelled in temperature regulation, thanks to the breathable coils and cover material.

Construction Breakdown

The Euro-top quilted with polyfoam is followed by two layers of polyfoam. The top polyfoam layer features a graphite infusion meant to conduct and dissipate heat away from the body, and a thinner polyfoam transitional layer acts as a buffer between the foam layers and the coils.

The support core consists of pocketed coils, which are zoned to provide extra support to your midsection and prevent excessive sinkage. Additional coils are zoned along the perimeter of the mattress for extra edge support. The support core rests on a polyfoam base layer to prevent shifting. A quilted cover made from proprietary ArcticTex fiber designed for cooling encases the mattress.

Based on our hands-on tests, the medium firm (6) Lull Original Premium is a good match for most side sleepers. Ratings were particularly high from our side sleepers weighing 130 pounds or more. Back sleepers up to 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds should also receive adequate support from this mattress, but heavier people who use these positions will probably sink too much.

As we mentioned up top, motion isolation is one of the Lull Original Premium’s defining strong points. All four foam layers work together to absorb even the slightest ripples of movement. During motion isolation tests, we noticed very little motion transfer lying side by side on the mattress. Pressure relief is another benefit because the foam cradles your body to keep your spine aligned. However, the mattress earned lower ratings for edge support and ease of movement — two performance areas where all-foam models often struggle compared to innersprings, hybrids, and latex beds.

Construction Breakdown

The Lull Original Premium begins with a layer of open-cell memory foam sewn to the cover. This material is quite plush and adaptive, but its breathable composition helps ensure minimal heat retention. Additional comfort layers of memory foam and adaptive polyfoam add to the plush surface feel, but these layers are denser from top to bottom to prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.

Transitional polyfoam creates a cushy buffer between your body and the support core, which contains high-density base foam to stabilize the mattress. A soft rayon-blend cover encases the Lull Original Premium, which measures 12 inches thick.

Trial, Shipping, and Warranty

The Original Premium’s sticker price is on par with industry averages, and standard ground shipping is free of charge if you reside in the contiguous U.S. Lull also offers a generous 365-night sleep trial with each order, and your purchase is further backed by a lifetime warranty if you end up keeping the mattress after the return period ends.

Three firmnesses are available: medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8), which appealed to many of our testers. Our testing found the softest model best suited for side and back sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds who enjoyed the extra cushioning. The medium-firm model was the most versatile, appealing to side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. Our side and back sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds and stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds appreciated the firmest model’s support.

The Elite Hybrid foam layers absorb most movement to prevent nighttime disruptions for you and your partner when the other person changes positions or tosses and turns. The foam layers also earned the mattress high marks in our pressure relief tests, significantly reducing pressure buildup in our testers’ joints.

Construction Breakdown

The Bear Elite Hybrid contains a comfort layer of memory foam infused with copper, which is intended to reduce heat buildup. Zoned transitional polyfoam offers a firmer feel under heavier areas of the body to prevent excessive sinkage, especially in the midsection.

Pocketed coils reinforce the sleep surface to keep your body on an even plane. The coils rest on a polyfoam base layer for additional stability. Another notable feature of the mattress is its cover made from Celliant Sleep Recover Technology. This proprietary fabric is designed to sleep cool and help your body recover during the night.

Shipping is free throughout the contiguous U.S. Bear’s 120-night sleep trial gives you ample time to test out the mattress, and you’ll also receive a lifetime warranty against structural defects.

The Glacier Summit Hybrid is medium firm (6). As such, the mattress was popular among most side and back sleepers on our team. Side sleepers of at least 130 pounds and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds were particularly impressed, as were combination sleepers who use both positions between 130 and 230 pounds.

During temperature control tests, our thermal sensors registered minimal heat retention on the Summit Hybrid’s surface. We also noticed the cover felt cool to the touch, even after lying on the mattress for several minutes. Other performance areas where the Summit Hybrid earned standout ratings include motion isolation and pressure relief. The reinforced perimeter felt fairly sturdy, as well, so the mattress received favorable ratings for edge support.

Construction Breakdown

The Summit Hybrid’s comfort system begins with a memory foam lumbar pad resting on adaptive polyfoam. This pad is meant to provide extra cushioning to the lower back, and a graphite infusion helps to minimize heat buildup on the surface. Transitional memory foam adds to the plush feel while also pushing back against your weight and creating a buffer between your body and the support core.

Pocketed coils and high-density base foam deliver excellent overall stability for the Summit Hybrid. Thicker coils line the mattress perimeter to make the edges feel secure when you get in and out of bed. A cover woven with cooling, moisture-wicking fibers encases the mattress. At 13 inches, the mattress is on the thicker side but should still be compatible with standard fitted sheets.

If you choose to keep it, your purchase is backed by a lifetime warranty against structural and material defects.

Most side sleepers on our testing team enjoyed the deep contouring and cushioning of the medium soft Premier Hybrid. This design hugs your body closely, so side sleepers get the extra padding they need for their shoulders and hips.

That said, some of our side sleepers over 230 pounds needed more support and preferred the medium firm model. This was also true of our back and stomach sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. If you’re looking for maximum reinforcement, the firm design should meet your needs.

Since the Premier Hybrid contains 4 inches of foam cushioning, the mattress isolates motion better than most competing hybrids. The viscose fiber layer also does a good job of keeping the surface cool — most testers noticed minimal heat retention, even on the softer models.

Construction Breakdown

The Premier Hybrid’s comfort system consists of viscose fiber batting sewn to the bottom of the cover, followed by three foam layers. Each foam layer is progressively firmer and denser, so you get some nice cushioning near the surface and extra pushback to keep your body on an even plane. Pocketed coils in the support core are reinforced with high-density base foam, resulting in excellent overall stability — though the firm model feels sturdiest. Thicker coils along the perimeter help reduce sinkage when you sleep close to the edges or get in and out of bed.

Thanks to the two different feels, the Layla performed well across many sleeping positions and weight groups. Our testing team found the softer surface great for side sleepers, those under 130 pounds, and people with pain in their joints. Meanwhile, the firmer side ranked highly among back and stomach sleepers on our team, especially those between 130 and 230 pounds.

Foam mattresses are prone to heat retention, but the Layla slept quite cool compared to many other foam models we’ve evaluated with heat-mapping tests. Both sides ranked above average in temperature regulation, but the firm side performed particularly well in this area. We attribute this to the firmer feel and less sinkage, which limits heat-trapping. Copper and gel infusions are also designed to keep the foams cooler.

Couples may appreciate the softer side for its strong motion isolation. We noticed that the thicker comfort layers on this side absorbed most movement transfer, reducing sleep disruptions for co-sleepers.

Construction Breakdown

The softer side starts with a 3-inch layer of copper- and gel-infused memory foam. This layer deeply contoured to the body during our tests, which relieved pressure buildup in the joints and lower back. Underneath is a 2-inch polyfoam transitional layer that is zoned to support the midsection and prevent excessive sinkage. We found this layer also evenly distributed weight to help you maintain healthy spinal alignment.

On the firm side is a thinner comfort layer made from the same copper- and gel-infused memory foam. The shared support core is composed of a 4.5-inch layer of high-density polyfoam. This layer helps prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress. A cover made from a stretch blend of polyester, rayon, viscose, and poly-lycra encases the mattress.
