Best Hybrid Mattress of 2025

Helix has an extensive line of hybrid mattresses designed for specific types of sleepers in terms of position and body type. The Helix Midnight Luxe is one of the brand’s most popular offerings thanks to a balanced medium firm (6) design that cushions and contours to your body while providing sturdy overall support. Our testing found these qualities make the mattress particularly well-suited to side sleeping.

How It Performed

The mattress performed best among our side sleepers over 130 pounds and most back and stomach sleepers under 230 pounds. The memory foam contoured evenly to reduce pressure for our testers without sinking too much. Reinforced coils along the perimeter limit sinkage when you get in and out of bed. We also found the coils promote enough airflow to help the mattress sleep cool despite memory foam beneath the surface.

A mid-range sticker price makes the Midnight Luxe a compelling choice if you want a well-made hybrid option.

Construction Breakdown

The construction of the Midnight Luxe starts with a Tencel cover that feels smooth and soft, and we found it retains little heat. Below the cover, the comfort system includes two layers of memory foam. Our testers noted these layers compress to accommodate pressure points, but with slightly more bounce and minimal heat buildup compared to other foam hybrids we’ve tested.

Beneath the memory foam is a layer of transition polyfoam. This material felt firmer, working along with the support core to keep you from sinking too far into the bed. The Midnight Luxe’s support core has pocketed coils over dense base foam.

As in other hybrids we’ve tested, these coils improved edge support and responsiveness while transferring less motion than old-fashioned coils. The base foam serves as a shock-absorbing base for the coils.

Comfort is a subjective mattress quality — what feels nice for you might be downright painful for someone else — but some models come closer to “universal comfort” than others. The Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid is a great example of a mattress that caters to a wide swath of sleepers. Available in three firmness levels, the Sapira Chill features a comfort system with thick foam layers over zoned, perimeter-reinforced coils. This design offers a nice balance of cushioning, support, bounce, and temperature control, as well as excellent motion isolation for couples and pressure relief.

How It Performed

During hands-on tests, our side and back sleepers under 130 pounds enjoyed the close contour of the medium (5), while back and stomach sleepers over 230 pounds preferred the light conforming and robust support of the firm (7) model. The balanced medium firm (6) design was far and away the most popular model with our team and earned particularly high ratings from testers between 130 and 230 pounds.

The medium model earned the most favorable ratings for motion isolation and pressure relief, but we found that all three perform well in these areas — especially compared to other hybrids we’ve tested. Temperature control is another standout strength. The open-cell foam layers don’t retain too much heat, and the coils promote plenty of airflow to help the mattress maintain a comfy interior temperature.

Construction Breakdown

The Sapira Chill Hybrid contains four foam comfort layers, beginning with 2 inches of adaptive polyfoam sewn to the Euro-top cover. Layers of memory foam and polyfoam add to the surface’s cushy feel, while a fourth layer of transitional foam creates a comfy buffer between your body and the support core.

Pocketed coils and high-density base foam provide excellent overall stability for the mattress. The coils are zoned with thicker springs resting beneath your midsection — this prevents the heaviest areas of your body from sinking too deeply into the mattress. Extra perimeter reinforcement also reduces compression when you lie close to the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed.

Choosing the right firmness is key to sleeping comfortably on the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid. You can return the mattress and exchange it for a model with a different firmness level for up to 100 nights after the delivery date.

Hybrids are among the most expensive mattress types, but some models manage to be relatively affordable without sacrificing quality or performance. Take the CopperFlex Hybrid, one of the newest offerings from Brooklyn Bedding. Six individual layers create a comfy balance of cushioning, support, and bounce, allowing you to sleep soundly without bothersome pressure buildup, yet the sticker price falls well below average for hybrid models.

How It Performed

As a medium firm (6) mattress, the CopperFlex Hybrid fared well among side and back sleepers on our testing team who weigh up to 230 pounds. It was particularly popular with testers who use these positions between 130 and 230 pounds. Side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may prefer the all-foam CopperFlex, which is also medium firm but noticeably plusher and more adaptive.

We were impressed with the CopperFlex Hybrid’s abilities to alleviate pressure points and isolate motion, as coil mattresses tend to struggle in these categories. We attributed strong performance in both areas to the deep comfort system, which contains four foam layers. Sleepers get the close contour they need to reduce pressure buildup along the spine, but the zoned transitional layer prevents them from sinking too deeply. The foam also acts as a muffler for the coils to minimize motion transfer.

Construction Breakdown

The CopperFlex Hybrid’s comfort system contains four layers, beginning with adaptive polyfoam and copper-infused memory foam encased in a Euro-top cover. Another memory foam layer creates additional cushioning, giving the surface an invitingly plush feel when you get into bed, but the fourth layer of zoned transitional polyfoam pushes back against the weight in your midsection to keep your body on an even plane.

The support core consists of pocketed coils over high-density base foam. Thicker coils run the length of both sides to stabilize the perimeter when you sleep close to the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed.

The Saatva Classic is a luxury hybrid that comes in three different firmness options to cater to your unique sleep preferences. With coils in both its support core and comfort system, the Saatva is an innovative take on the traditional innerspring that provides a solid balance of support, pressure relief, and bounce.

How It Performed

You can opt for soft (3), medium firm (6), or firm (8) designs in 11.5- and 14.5-inch profiles. The firm feel was best suited to our testers weighing at least 130 pounds, especially those who sleep on their backs or stomachs. Lighter sleepers who use these positions and side sleepers across all weight groups should feel more comfortable on the soft or medium firm models.

We found cooling to be a major strength of the Saatva Classic. Two coil layers circulate air to help the mattress maintain a comfortable temperature, and the cover is composed of breathable organic cotton. The coil layers also reinforce the edges to prevent sinkage and help you easily get in and out of bed.

Construction Breakdown

We appreciated the Saatva’s luxurious Euro-top design with a moisture-wicking organic cotton cover. The comfort system contains adaptive materials that cushion the body and lighten the impact on your pressure points.

A foam lumbar pad beneath the lower back promoted spinal alignment for our testers, and this is followed by a layer of pocketed microcoils to enhance the bed’s responsiveness. The support core features recycled-steel hourglass coils encased in high-density foam around the perimeter that prevented us from slipping off at the edges.

If you prefer a hybrid mattress that offers cushioning while staying responsive, the WinkBed is a first-rate choice. The mattress earns high marks for its overall performance and comfortability. While the bed has a sturdy feel, it also delivers notable pressure relief that we found can help alleviate back pain at night.

How It Performed

The WinkBed comes in three firmness levels — Softer (4), Luxury Firm (6), and Firmer (7) — as well as the WinkBed Plus (8), designed specifically for sleepers over 230 pounds. Depending on the firmness you choose, the WinkBed offers distinct benefits.

The Softer WinkBed earned high marks from our side and back sleepers under 130 pounds, who prefer a bit of extra cushioning. The Luxury Firm model was the most versatile and balanced. Our back and stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds benefitted from this mix of cushioning and support.

Side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds enjoyed this feel as well. Side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds enjoyed the Firmer WinkBed. The WinkBed Plus was a hit among our testers over 230 pounds across sleeping position groups.

Construction Breakdown

All models begin with a quilted Euro-top composed of gel-infused polyfoam inside a Tencel cover. The Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer WinkBeds feature a firmer layer of SupportCell polyfoam beneath the pillow-top.

Our testers noted this proprietary material offers even contouring, but a dense composition enables it to push back moderately against your body and keep you from sinking into the core. For additional support, the WinkBed Plus features a layer of latex.

The support core is composed of pocketed coils. These springs are arranged to give the mattress a more robust feel around the edges and in other key support zones. Because they are individually wrapped, each coil retains an independent range of motion, allowing them to react directly to your body’s pressure. As a result, we found these coils can cut down on motion transfer and provide greater spinal support.

The Nolah Evolution 15 is a quintessential hybrid mattress, offering an even mix of support and cushioning to ensure healthy sleep posture. Available in three different firmness options, the mattress should feel comfortable for a wide array of sleeper types.

How It Performed

Thanks to the three firmness options, the Nolah Evolution suits a variety of sleepers. Our testing team found the medium (5) feel best suited to side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds. The medium firm (6) and firm (8) options were popular among our back- and stomach-sleeping testers.

The three models also had slight differences in performance. All performed well when it came to responsiveness, temperature regulation, and ease of movement, but the medium firm and firm models excelled in these categories.

The firm model also performed slightly better in edge support, making it an excellent choice if you have trouble getting in and out of bed. In terms of pressure relief, the medium feel outperformed other models. Our testers with sharp pressure points and lower back pain benefited from this model.

Construction Breakdown

A cover made from proprietary ArcticTex fabric encases the mattress, which begins with polyfoam quilted into the Euro-top. ArticTex fabric is designed to keep the surface cool to the touch. Next is a layer of proprietary AirFoamICE, a graphite-infused polyfoam meant to conduct heat away from the body to regulate temperature. Our testers noted this layer also gently cradles the body to relieve pressure buildup in the joints.

Two dense polyfoam transitional layers prevent you from sinking excessively and help evenly distribute your weight. Pocketed coils in the support core are zoned around your midsection and the perimeter for extra reinforcement. The coils rest on a base layer made from recycled plant fibers. The bottom half of the encasement features handles, so you can easily move the mattress around.

Pressure buildup during sleep is common, especially if your mattress feels too soft or too firm. The Bear Elite Hybrid is available in three designs, each with a distinct feel to accommodate specific body types and sleep positions. All three models feature adaptive foam layers that contour closely and robust coils that cushion to keep your body on an even plane.

How It Performed

The medium (5) Elite Hybrid earned favorable ratings from our side and back sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds, who enjoyed the deep cushioning and close conforming. Our back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds preferred the firm (8) design for its strong support and gentle contouring. If you weigh 130 to 230 pounds, you may find the medium firm (6) model most comfortable. This mattress proved to be the most balanced of the three.

The Elite Hybrid excelled during our temperature control tests. None of our testers reported excessive warmth, and our thermal sensors detected little to no heat retention on the surface. Ease of movement was another highlight. The zoned transitional and support layers deliver enough bounce to prevent sinkage when you move across the surface and sit along the perimeter.

Construction Breakdown

The Elite Hybrid begins with a memory foam comfort layer, followed by a polyfoam transitional layer. The latter is divided into five firmness zones, resulting in a firmer feel beneath the midsection and more give for the head and legs. Pocketed coils and dense base foam make up the support core. The coils are also zoned to reinforce heavier areas of the body.

Celliant fibers and phase change material woven into the cover are intended to dissipate heat. As a result, the Elite Hybrid’s surface should feel cool at all times. A 14-inch profile makes this mattress a high-profile model, so you may need deep-pocket sheets.

Due to its unique flippable design, the Layla Hybrid offers you two firmness levels in one mattress: medium soft (4) and firm (7). This flexible design accommodates a diverse range of sleepers, ensuring optimal support and pressure relief for most people regardless of body type or preferred sleep position.

How It Performed

The Layla Hybrid suited most of our testers across body types and sleeping positions thanks to the reversible design. The firm side was more popular among our testers who weigh more than 230 pounds, who experience better spinal alignment and support for their hips and shoulders with a thinner comfort layer.

Meanwhile, testers below 230 pounds appreciated the deep pressure-relieving cradle of the medium side. The zoned polyfoam transitional layer and pocketed coils support the heavier areas of your body, such as the hips and shoulders, while cushioning your head and neck.

The two sides had slight variations in their performance across our testing criteria. Couples who prioritize motion isolation and noise absorption may appreciate the softer model. The thicker foam comfort system absorbed most movement transfer when our testers rolled across the mattress. The firmer model conforms to the body less, which earned it higher marks in our temperature control tests. Our heat guns detected minimal heat buildup on the surface.

Construction Breakdown

The mattress starts with a memory foam comfort layer on each side that adapts to the body to relieve pressure. These layers are infused with copper meant to keep the bed’s surface cool. Underneath is a zoned polyfoam transitional layer that offers pushback to the midsection and reduces sinkage. The softer side features thicker comfort layers for extra cushioning, while the firmer side’s thinner comfort system ensures an even sleep surface.

Pocketed coils make up the shared support core, offering targeted support to prevent uncomfortable sagging. The bed also features a reinforced perimeter, ensuring sleepers can comfortably use the entire sleep surface without slipping off. A breathable cover made from a stretchy polyester, rayon, viscose, and poly-lycra blend encases the entire mattress.

Many hybrids are available in two or three firmness levels to account for different body types and sleep positions. With the DLX Premier Hybrid, you can choose from six firmness options. These include medium soft (4), medium firm (6), firm (8), and a split design with any of these feels on the left and right sides. This range of designs should accommodate virtually anyone, including co-sleepers who disagree on which level of firmness feels comfortable.

How It Performed

Our testing team evaluated all three of the Premier Hybrid’s standard firmness options, as well as a split medium soft and medium firm model. Side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds enjoyed the deep contour of the medium soft, whereas our testers who use these positions and weigh more preferred the medium firm or firm. Most stomach sleepers felt comfortable on the firm model, though some weighing less than 130 pounds gravitated toward the medium firm instead.

The Premier Hybrid’s thick foam layers ensure above-average motion isolation — even with the firm model, our testers felt very little movement lying side by side on the mattress. At the same time, the viscose batting keeps the surface cool and prevents the foam from trapping too much heat. The firm model excels at edge support and ease of movement, whereas the medium soft and medium firm are better fits if you deal with frequent pain or pressure points.

Construction Breakdown

The Premier Hybrid’s topmost layer contains shredded viscose, a plant-derived material known for its cooling and moisture-wicking abilities. The first foam layer is fairly adaptive, so there’s some initial plushness when you get into bed, while the next two layers are denser to prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress — though people over 230 pounds may still sink on the medium soft model.

The support core contains pocketed coils over dense base foam. Thicker coils line the perimeter to stabilize the mattress when you get in and out of bed or roll toward the edges while you sleep. A knit polyester cover encases the entire mattress. The profile measures 14 inches thick, so you may need to invest in a deep-pocket fitted sheet.

The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a well-rounded bed made of foam and a pocketed coil core. This balanced design is a good fit if you seek strong cushioning along the spine without sacrificing support for healthy sleep posture, even if you frequently switch positions at night.

How It Performed

Of all the sleep positions, side sleepers on our team found this bed most comfortable. This sleep position exerts extra pressure on the shoulders and hips, so the foam layers should minimize pressure buildup in these areas.

Our back sleepers up to 230 pounds also found this bed fairly comfortable. We found that this bed sleeps fairly cool, thanks to the air circulation through the coils. In addition, the foam layers aren’t exceptionally thick, so they contour your body less and ultimately trap less heat than thicker foam layers.

Construction Breakdown

The mattress begins with a layer of quilted polyfoam, followed by a layer of high-density memory foam. These layers closely contour to your body to alleviate pressure buildup. The support core is composed of pocketed coils that respond to your body but also push back to generate support. The coils are zoned with enhanced lumbar support to ensure your midsection won’t sink in excessively. A polyester and spandex cover is engineered to reduce antimicrobial growth.

If you’re looking for a wallet-friendly hybrid made from natural and organic materials, the Birch Mattress is a good place to start your search. The latex comfort system has a responsive feel that retains minimal heat, making it a great choice for hot sleepers. The sophisticated, medium firm (6) design should feel comfortable if you weigh up to 230 pounds, regardless of which sleep position you favor.

How It Performs

The Birch’s latex comfort layer provides moderate cradling for your hips and shoulders, while the coil system prevents your lower back from sinking too deeply. Our side, back, and stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds all received excellent support from this bed, with just enough cushioning to cradle their spines and alleviate pressure points.

Hot sleepers on our team also found the Birch comfortable thanks to the breathable wool and cotton layers, as well as ample air circulation between the ventilated latex and coils. Other strong performance categories during our tests included ease of movement and edge support. One area where the mattress earned below-average ratings was motion isolation — the bouncy surface may create disruptive motion transfer when you or your partner moves in bed.

Construction Breakdown

The bed features a cover made of organic cotton, a material that is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. This is followed by a natural wool fire barrier and an organic cotton batting layer. Next

is a layer of latex that gently cradles your body while providing strong support. The support core has a pocketed coil system. Extra reinforcement along the perimeter minimizes sinkage when you sleep near the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed.

Birch ships for free throughout the contiguous U.S. You have 100 days to try out the mattress and may return the bed for a full refund after the required 30-night break-in period. If you’re satisfied with your purchase, it’s covered under a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
