For a traditional coil mattress or for a mattress that combines springs and foam, we’ve reviewed the best innerspring mattresses and the best hybrid mattresses.
If you’re on a tighter budget, check out our guide to the best cheap mattresses (under $500).
Our pick
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress
Combining the best elements of memory-foam and spring mattresses, this has better cooling and a thicker cover than the competition, and it comes at a great price.
The 11-inch Leesa Sapira Hybrid has remained a strong favorite through multiple rounds of testing. Hybrid mattresses feature both foam and coils, and this mattress’s memory-foam top provides good pressure relief, while its spring layer adds a gentle bounce.
The high-quality, durable materials make it a good value, and we think it would work well for stomach-, back-, and side-sleepers, as well as for those who weigh more than 200 pounds.
It comes with a 100-day trial period and a 10-year warranty.
Our pick
Tempur-Adapt (Medium Hybrid)
With a luxurious slow-sinking foam and sturdy edge support, this feels leagues ahead of most mattresses we tried. But it’s also relatively pricey.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $2,200.
Tempur-Pedic’s least expensive model is one of the best hybrid memory-foam mattresses we tested, and it’s a good option if you want the classic curve-conforming feel of a Tempur-Pedic bed without spending $3,000 to $5,000 for a queen.
The 11-inch Tempur-Adapt has a pronounced hug. Yet it feels completely supportive (including at the edges, so you don’t fall off), which many of our testers loved.
The line’s Medium Hybrid version also has a coil layer that keeps you from feeling completely stuck in foam. It’s suitable for a range of sleep positions and body types, including for people who weigh more than 200 pounds,
It comes with a 10-year warranty and a 90-day trial period. But if you return this mattress, you’ll have to pay steep shipping costs.
Our pick
Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)
A thick quilted top and high foam densities make this feel more substantial and durable than mattresses that cost less than $1,000. It arrives unboxed, so it’s also less likely to off-gas in your home.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $1,700.
Saatva’s Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm) was the best-looking and arguably the best-feeling springless model we tested. Its thick quilted cover prevents the top from feeling spongy, and there’s virtually no motion transfer.
Compared with cheaper all-foam mattresses, the 12-inch Loom & Leaf is made with denser foam, which may help it last longer (and also makes it good for people who weigh over 200 pounds). It comes in two firmness levels, and should work for a variety of sleep positions.
The lifetime warranty and 365-day trial period are particularly generous. But if you do end up returning the Loom & Leaf, you’ll have to pay a shipping fee of nearly $100.
Our pick
Novaform ComfortGrande
This Costco favorite is a great value, with foam as dense as many mattresses that cost twice as much. Testers loved its cuddly yet supportive feel, but some found it too firm.
Wirecutter testers who like the 14-inch Novaform ComfortGrande, sold by Costco consistently note its comfortably supportive feel and good value. It has a loose-cuddly sensation without a pronounced memory-foam sink.
We think it’s best for back- and stomach-sleepers, or for side-sleepers who like firmer mattresses. Its foam densities suggest it should be durable, though it’s not the best pick for people who weigh more than 200 pounds.
The Novaform ComfortGrande comes with a 20-year warranty. And, thanks to Costco’s generous return policy (the best we’ve seen), you can arrange for a free pickup and full refund at any time.
Our pick
Tuft & Needle New Original
With a soft top and firm under layer, this mattress feels supportive yet cushioned. It’s also easier to move around on, because it’s not made with memory foam.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $896.
Because the Tuft & Needle New Original doesn’t have a memory-foam top, it’s easier to move around on than most bed-in-a-box mattresses, which is why we recommend it for people who rotate frequently throughout the night.
It’s a great choice if you want the convenience and affordability of a foam bed without the sinking sensation of memory foam. However, this mattress probably isn’t durable enough for those who weigh more than 200 pounds (as is true of most under-$1,000 queen mattresses).
It comes with a 100-day trial and a 10-year warranty.
Our pick
Zenhaven
Good latex mattresses are expensive, but we think this one is a decent value. It should prove more durable and breathable (and thus feel cooler) than many foam mattresses.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $2,474.
If you prefer latex mattresses, which tend to be more breathable, durable, and springier than memory-foam or polyfoam models, Saatva’s Zenhaven offers the best combination of comfort and value of those we’ve tested.
The 10-inch Zenhaven feels supple but still supportive, with a springiness similar to that of a traditional coil mattress. It’s a good choice for back- or stomach-sleepers, or for side-sleepers who prefer a firmer mattress. The two-sided Zenhaven is flippable and has two firmness levels: medium-firm and a bit firmer.
Zenhaven offers a 365-day trial (though you have to pay a shipping cost of nearly $100 to return the mattress) and a lifetime warranty.
