Best Full/Double Mattress of 2024

Who It’s Best For: In our test lab, the Helix Midnight provided the best support to side and back sleepers who weigh under 230 pounds. It also got high marks from stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.

Feel: The Helix Midnight has a medium firm (6) feel that contours to your pain points without losing structural integrity. This stable surface has a touch of bounce that keeps you from feeling stuck in one place.

What It’s Made Of: At the top of the mattress are two foam layers, one made with conforming memory foam and the other with a resilient polyfoam. A thick layer of individually wrapped coils adds sturdiness and is buttressed by a base of high-density polyfoam.

What We Don’t Like: You may not get enough support from this full mattress if you weigh over 230 pounds and sleep on your stomach or back.

Who It’s Best For: Based on our in-house testing, the Nectar is best suited for side sleepers under 230 pounds who benefit from its gentle cradling of the hips and shoulders. Back sleepers under 230 pounds also found it highly supportive.

Feel: The immediate feel when you rest on the Nectar is one of light contouring as the foam layers gently adapt to your body. But you’ll also notice that the mattress doesn’t swallow you up, so you feel supported and stable.

What It’s Made Of: A key player in the performance of the Nectar Mattress is its top layer of memory foam that is infused with gel beads to reduce heat buildup. Below it is a layer of polyfoam that protects against sinkage. The base layer is durable, high-density polyfoam.

What We Don’t Like: For people over 230 pounds, the contouring of this mattress may feel excessive, and they may feel less stability around the edge of bed.

Who It’s Best For: The Signature Hybrid performs well for all types of sleepers. The medium firm (6) suits most back and stomach sleepers, but the medium soft (4) and firm (8) models provide options that can meet almost anyone’s sleep needs.

Feel: This mattress gives you an instant sense of support as it lightly hugs your lower back, shoulders, and other pressure points. At the same time, it feels supportive and bouncy enough that you can adjust your sleeping position without resistance.

What It’s Made Of: The cover of the Signature Hybrid is made with a quilted fabric with the option to layer on a plush, cooling pillow-top. Responsive polyfoam in the top layer gives a mix of bounce and cradling, and the base 8-inch layer of coils is the source of edge support and stability.

What We Don’t Like: The mattress doesn’t have deep hug for sleepers who like to sink into their mattress. You’ll need to pay $99 for return shipping if you decide to make a return.

Who It’s Best For: This mattress can deliver great results for sleepers across the board. Sleepers over 230 pounds generally prefer the firm (8) WinkBed Plus. The medium firm (6) model gives the best support to back and side sleepers under 230 pounds.

Feel: The WinkBed feels well-cushioned, including around the lumbar spine where many sleepers experience back pain. The mattress feels sturdy and provides substantial edge support.

What It’s Made Of: A Euro-style pillow-top is quilted with gel-infused foam that enhances pressure relief, and a denser gel-infused polyfoam sits below to limit sinkage. In the support core, pocketed coils with a reinforced perimeter give the mattress its bounce and a stout, dependable feel.

What We Don’t Like: If you share your full-size mattress with a bed partner, you’ll be able to feel vibrations on the mattress surface when they get in and out of bed or adjust their sleeping position.

Who It’s Best For: Thanks to its firmness level and notable contouring, the Nolah Original is ideal for side sleepers under 130 pounds and great for those under 230 pounds. Its motion isolation also makes it popular with couples.

Feel: The Nolah Original 10 has a firmness level of medium (5). You’ll immediately notice how heavier areas like the hips and shoulders sink comfortably into the foam layers with just enough pushback to keep you from pushing too deeply into the mattress.

What It’s Made Of: This all-foam mattress has a Tencel cover and three interior layers. The top layer is a zoned, copper-infused AirFoam created by Nolah that effectively cushions pressure points. Beneath it is another layer of AirFoam and then a thick base made of high-density polyfoam.

What We Don’t Like: Sleepers over 230 pounds will usually find that this mattress is too soft and contouring. If the mattress doesn’t work for you, you’ll have a $99 return shipping fee deducted from your refund.

Who It’s Best For: The Birch Luxe is ideally suited for back and stomach sleepers under 230 pounds and side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. It’s also an outstanding option for hot sleepers and eco-conscious shoppers.

Feel: The Birch Luxe has a medium firm (6) feel, and it gently cradles the body to relieve pressure. But it also has considerably more bounce than most hybrids, and its surface stays consistently cool.

What It’s Made Of: Under the organic cotton cover is a layer of organic wool batting and thick comfort layers made with responsive organic latex. The support core is made of durable and heavy-duty pocketed coils with extra support around the perimeter.

What We Don’t Like: A downside of the bouncy materials is that there’s more motion transfer, which may be an issue if you or your bed partner are a light sleeper.

Who It’s Best For: The Sapira Chill is exceptional for people who sleep hot, and it provides excellent support to people under 230 pounds. The firm (7) model is better for most stomach and back sleepers and the medium (5) or medium firm (6) is a match for most side sleepers.

Feel: As the name says, the Sapira Chill feels cool and crisp, resisting overheating even in hot climates. It also has a mix of bounce and contouring that feels both supportive and inviting.

What It’s Made Of: The mattress has four foam layers, each of which adds a different element to the overall feel. The base layer is made of zoned coils that are individually wrapped for a more even performance. Gel-infused foams and temperature-regulating fabrics resist heat buildup.

What We Don’t Like: Even on the firmest model, stomach sleepers over 230 pounds may experience a lack of support. The softest mode can feel less stout when lying or sitting near the edge of the bed.

Who It’s Best For: The Bear Elite Hybrid gives effective support to side, back, and stomach sleepers. The most popular model is medium firm (6), which works well for most people under 230 pounds. The firm (8) option suits those over 230 pounds, and the medium (5) is better for those who want more plushness.

Feel: Although the feel is different among the three firmness options, every Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress is responsive and adaptable, giving your body targeted support. The mattress also feels cool through the night and stable around the perimeter.

What It’s Made Of: In the cover, Bear includes a Celliant textile engineered to decrease heat buildup. In the interior layers, there is copper-infused memory foam, responsive zoned polyfoam, and a support core of pocketed coils. A dense foam pad sits at the bottom for added stability.

What We Don’t Like: The mattress can emit a noticeable odor right after you take it out of the box, and you’ll want to keep your bedroom ventilated so that the smell dissipates within a day or two.

Who It’s Best For: The Helix Kids mattress is best for children under 13 regardless of their sleeping position. Its medium soft (4) side is generally best from ages 8 through 13, and the medium firm (6) side is best for ages 3 through 7.

Feel: The Helix Kids mattress feels bouncy and responsive, making it easy for kids to move on the mattress. At the same time, it has gentle cushioning to help kids feel comfortable and supported.

What It’s Made Of: The cover is made of soft, breathable Tencel with a water-repellent coating. The hybrid interior has a core of pocketed coils that are strengthened around the perimeter. On one side of the coils is gel-infused memory foam, and the firmer side has responsive polyfoam.

What We Don’t Like: The mattress is more expensive than many other mattresses for kids. Although it can be used after age 13, it may become less supportive for adolescents, especially if they have a higher body weight.

Who It’s Best For: The Kiwi Organic is an excellent choice for people who prioritize both pressure relief and eco-conscious mattress design. It feels most supportive to side sleepers under 230 pounds and back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.

Feel: The firmness level of the Kiwi Organic is medium (5). It cushions your body to relieve pressure, but it doesn’t hug you tightly. It sleeps cool, and its bounciness means that you can easily adjust your sleeping position during the night.

What It’s Made Of: The Kiwi Organic is a hybrid mattress with a thick base layer of pocketed coils that are arranged into seven zones of support, including a reinforced lumbar area. Above the coils is a 2-inch layer of organic latex. The cover is made of cotton and wool, both of which are certified organic.

What We Don’t Like: You are likely to sense a lack of support from this mattress if you weigh over 230 pounds.
