Best Full/Double Mattress

Helix Sleep’s mattress lineup includes more than a dozen hybrid models specifically designed for certain types of sleepers. The Helix Midnight may be intended for side sleepers who weigh 130 to 230 pounds, but our testing shows back sleepers in the same weight range and lighter stomach sleepers also find the mattress quite comfortable. Its versatility can be attributed to a balanced medium firm (6) feel that combines the contouring of memory foam with robust coil support.

What It’s Made of

The mattress begins with a comfort layer of memory foam, followed by a transitional polyfoam layer. Individually pocketed coils reinforced with high-density polyfoam make up the support core. The coils are reinforced along the perimeter to create pushback when you sleep near the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed. A stretch-polyester cover encases the entire mattress.

How It Performed

The Midnight earns above-average ratings for pressure relief compared to other hybrids. The foam layers provide even cushioning for areas of the body prone to pressure buildup, such as the shoulders and hips. The transitional foam also serves as a buffer for the support core, so sleepers up to 230 pounds shouldn’t sink too deeply into the mattress.

Edge support is another strength of the Midnight. The reinforced coils allow you and your partner to use the entire mattress surface, so you shouldn’t feel confined to the middle during sleep or sex. Steady airflow through the coils also helps the mattress sleep cool.

The Midnight has a below-average price-point for a hybrid model, and Helix Sleep offers free ground delivery to all 50 states. Each order comes with a 100-night sleep trial that includes free return shipping, and those who choose to keep the mattress also receive a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Nectar is an all-foam mattress constructed with three memory foam layers. Compared to other all-foam models, the Nectar offers above-average edge support and great overall stability at an affordable price-point.

What It’s Made of

The mattress contains two comfort layers made of foam that conform closely and respond slowly, creating a deep, pressure-relieving cradle as your body sinks beneath the surface. The polyfoam transitional layer is a bit denser, and prevents you from sagging too deeply. The Nectar also contains a support core made from robust high-density polyfoam.

How It Performed

Like other memory foam mattresses, this model is very suited to people who constantly feel pressure points in their shoulders, hips, and other sensitive areas. Despite the Nectar’s medium firm (6) feel, the foam layers cushion the body to align the spine for side sleepers. The mattress is also supportive enough to keep back and stomach sleepers on an even plane without sinking too much beneath their heavier areas. The Nectar may also be a good choice if you share your full size mattress with another person. The surface absorbs motion and eliminates nearly all transfer across the surface, and the bed itself does not produce any noise.

The Nectar’s price-point is very affordable for a memory foam bed. The company also offers a 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty, both of which are much longer than average. Standard ground shipping is free for anyone in the contiguous U.S.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is available in three distinct firmness levels. This ensures most sleepers can find a comfortable option regardless of how much they weigh. Compared with other quality hybrids we’ve tested, the Signature has an approachable price-point that should accommodate a range of budgets.

What It’s Made of

The Signature Hybrid is constructed with a comfort layer of TitanFlex polyfoam and a transitional layer of VariFlex foam. The latter has a latex-like quality that gives it a responsive and springy feel, while the TitanFlex contours more closely. The firm (8) feel features more transitional foam and a thinner comfort layer, while the medium soft (4) and medium firm (6) feels have more TitanFlex foam.

All Signature Hybrid models are constructed with pocketed coils and base layers of high-density polyfoam. These components stabilize the mattress to maintain an even sleep surface. The coils are also reinforced along the perimeter to minimize sinkage when owners get out of bed or sleep near the mattress edges. A knit cover completes the design.

How It Performed

Each firmness level for the Signature Hybrid performed well in a few areas. The medium soft models feel quite plush on the surface, making this option best-suited to side sleepers who want deep cushioning for the shoulders and hips. We also found that this feel provided the best motion isolation. The medium firm option is more supportive and probably a better fit for side sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. Lastly, the firm option barely contours at all and is quite stable. Those who weigh more than 230 pounds will likely prefer this firmness level.

All firmness options performed well in temperature control, edge support, and ease of movement.

In addition to the six standard mattress sizes, you can choose an Olympic queen, split California king, or a handful of short and RV-friendly sizes. Shipping is free throughout the contiguous U.S., and each purchase is backed by a 120-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

If you live with back pain, you should prioritize a mattress that cradles and cushions sore spots in the shoulders, lumbar region, and hips. The WinkBed is a foam hybrid with a thick comfort system and ultra-supportive coils. These components ensure even contouring with minimal sinkage around the midsection.

What It’s Made of

Customers select from four firmness levels for their WinkBed. These include the Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer models. In terms of firmness, these mattresses are considered medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (7), respectively. You can also choose the WinkBed Plus (8), which is specifically designed for people who weigh more than 230 pounds.

A layer of adaptive foam quilted into the WinkBed’s cover gives the mattress a plush surface feel. Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer models contain a polyfoam comfort layer that conforms evenly as your body settles. The WinkBed Plus features a latex layer that makes the surface feel bouncy, which can help you move more easily across the mattress.

The support core consists of pocketed coils arranged in a zoned formation. Thicker coils located beneath the torso and hips help keep your body on an even plane, while thinner coils cradle lighter areas of your body such as the head, shoulders, and hips. The perimeter coils are also reinforced to reduce sinkage. A cover made of Tencel encases the mattress.

How It Performed

We tested all four of the WinkBed’s firmness levels and found unique strengths for each one. The Softer model provides the deepest cushioning and feels highly adaptive. This was the most popular design among our team’s side and back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. Our back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds gave stellar ratings to the Luxury Firm, as did side sleepers of 130 to 230 pounds. We found this design to be the most balanced, with moderate contouring and sturdy support from head to toe. Testers on our team weighing more than 230 pounds also appreciated the extra reinforcement from the Firmer and WinkBed Plus models.

Temperature control was another area where the WinkBed excelled across all firmness levels during our tests. The Tencel cover is both breathable and moisture-wicking, resulting in a surface that feels comfortable at all times, and the coils generate enough airflow to keep the interior cool. We were also impressed by the excellent edge support and ease of movement. Even the Softer model sank very little when we sat along the perimeter and moved across the surface.

WinkBeds offers free ground shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. Your order comes with a 120-night sleep trial. If you decide your initial firmness selection is not right for you, the company allows you to exchange the original mattress for a new model at no extra charge. The replacement also receives a 60-night trial period. All WinkBed mattresses are covered under a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.

The Nolah Original is a 10-inch all-foam mattress designed with cushioning foams that conform to relieve pressure points. Side sleepers typically exert a lot of pressure on the shoulders and hips, so the generous cushioning can help avoid painful pressure buildup.

What It’s Made of

A top layer of proprietary AirFoam conforms to the body while providing a slightly bouncy feel. A second layer of transitional polyfoam prevents the body from sinking into the support core but still provides moderate cushioning. The core is composed of a thick layer of high-density polyfoam that provides the support needed to keep the spine aligned and prevent the hips from sinking in.

How It Performed

The Nolah Original falls at a medium, or a 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale. This makes it ideal for side sleepers and those who weigh less than 130 pounds. Sleepers in this weight category often experience pressure points from firmer mattresses, as they don’t exert enough pressure on the mattress to feel a firmer bed’s cushioning. The plush foams also absorb motion well, keeping co-sleepers from waking each other at night.

Six standard sizes are available, as well as a split king size for adjustable beds. Nolah offers a 120-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty, with free shipping in the contiguous U.S.

Eco-conscious shoppers willing to spend a bit more on a mattress with organic materials will enjoy the Birch Luxe. The mattress boasts Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Rainforest Alliance certifications, ensuring that the materials are sustainably sourced and ethically produced.

What It’s Made of

A quilted Euro-top cover made from GOTS-certified organic cotton gives the Luxe’s surface a plush feel. Underneath is a breathable organic wool-rayon blend layer that acts as a natural fire barrier. Next is an organic cashmere and wool layer, followed by two layers of organic wool. These layers encourage steady airflow through the comfort system while adding a bit of cushioning. Rainforest Alliance-certified natural latex rounds out the comfort system, offering gentle cradling to relieve pressure points without sinking too deeply.

The support core features pocketed coils in a zoned configuration. Thicker coils are placed in the center of the mattress to provide targeted support to the midsection. Meanwhile, thinner coils cradle the legs and upper body. The thicker coils also reinforce the perimeter of the bed, helping it bear your weight when you sit or sleep near the edges. Underneath is another wool-rayon layer for stability.

How It Performed

Thanks to the medium firm (6) feel, we found the mattress best suited side sleepers, particularly those who weigh at least 130 pounds. The cushioning from the wool layers and the latex helped relieve pressure in the hips and shoulders without excessive sinkage. Our back and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds also enjoyed the responsive feel.

Temperature regulation was one of the Luxe’s standout features during our tests. We attribute this to the steady airflow through the coils and the breathable wool, cashmere, and latex comfort layers. Thanks to the bouncy feel, we also recommend the mattress for couples who prioritize responsiveness for sex. We could move across the mattress easily, and the reinforced perimeter prevented us from slipping off the edges.

Birch ships free to customers in all 50 states. Mattress purchases come with 100-night sleep trials, during which you can test the mattress and return it for a full refund anytime after the 30-night break-in period. The Birch Luxe is backed by a 25-year warranty.

Beds with thick foam layers have a tendency to trap heat, but the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid mitigates this issue with thermoregulating features that help keep it cooler than other foam hybrids we’ve tested. The mattress is available in three firmness options to accommodate different types of sleepers.

What It’s Made of

The mattress is 14 inches thick, which is considered a high profile, and you can opt for a medium (5), medium firm (6), or firm (7) model. All firmness options begin with a soft knit cover infused with cooling fibers. The cover is quilted with gel-infused polyfoam to create a gently plush surface, followed by polyfoam and memory foam layers to enhance contouring. Beneath is a polyfoam with higher density to buffer you from the coil support core.

The coils are zoned to reinforce support to the lower back, which helps promote spinal alignment. The edges are also bolstered to minimize sagging along the perimeter, benefiting sleepers who enjoy using the full surface of the bed.

How It Performed

One of the bed’s biggest strengths is pressure relief thanks to the thick foam comfort system. These foam layers excel at cushioning your body to minimize pressure buildup. That said, the sturdy coils prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress, ensuring proper support and healthy sleep posture. Another key strength is the temperature-regulating design. The cooling fibers in the cover and gel infusion in the top layer of polyfoam minimize heat retention on the surface, while air circulation through the coils ventilates the bed’s interior.

The multiple firmness options allows you to pick the model best suited to your sleep position and body type. We found the medium design was most comfortable for side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds, while the medium firm fared well with side sleepers at least 130 pounds and back sleepers up to 230 pounds. The firm model earned the highest marks from side and back sleepers over 130 pounds and stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds.

Leesa offers free shipping throughout all 50 states. You’ll receive a 100-night sleep trial with your purchase, with a 10-year warranty to further back the mattress.

If you’re a hot sleeper, a mattress constructed with breathable materials can help ensure a comfortable night’s rest any time of year. The Bear Elite Hybrid excels at cooling thanks to various components in the comfort system and support core, as well as a cover that actively dissipates body heat on contact. Our team found the mattress sleeps significantly cooler than most of the other memory foam hybrids we’ve tested in our lab.

What It’s Made of

The Elite Hybrid’s topmost layer is composed of memory foam. A copper-gel infusion helps offset the foam’s heat-retaining properties. The transitional polyfoam layer is divided into five firmness zones to provide extra support for the chest, stomach, and hips while cradling lighter areas of the body.

Pocketed coils and dense base foam make up the Elite Hybrid’s support core. Thicker coils line the perimeter to push back against your weight and limit sinkage when you lie close to the edges or get in and out of bed. Air also circulates steadily throughout the coil system for extra breathability. A cover made with Celliant fabric encases the mattress. Celliant is a cutting-edge textile engineered to capture and release heat, maintaining a cool-to-the-touch feel at all times.

How It Performed

Our team tested all three of the Elite Hybrid’s firmness levels. The medium (5) design contoured very closely, earning favorable ratings from our side and back sleepers under 130 pounds. The firm model (8) delivers excellent support and conforms to a minimal extent. This design was most popular among our side sleepers over 230 pounds and our back and stomach sleepers of at least 130 pounds. If you’re looking for a balance of cushioning and reinforcement, the medium firm (6) Elite Hybrid should meet your needs.

During our tests, the Elite Hybrid demonstrated excellent temperature control. Our thermal sensors detected little to no heat buildup on the surface, and none of our testers felt uncomfortably warm. Pressure relief was another testing highlight. The foam layers adapt to your body and alleviate soreness along the spine, but the transitional layer pushes back enough to prevent excessive sinkage. Other strong areas include edge support and ease of movement.

The Elite Hybrid is competitively priced, and all customers receive two complimentary pillows with their purchase. Bear offers standard ground shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. Your order comes with a 120-night trial period, and you’ll also receive a lifetime warranty against structural defects if you choose to keep the mattress after the trial ends.

The Helix Kids Mattress is a flippable hybrid bed with different firmness levels on each side, with each firmness catering to different sleep preferences and body types. This dual-sided design allows the mattress to grow with your child from toddler to teen years.

What It’s Made of

The mattress features a soft side with a medium soft (4) feel, aimed at older children, and a firm side that rates medium firm (6), designed with younger children in mind. The firmer side begins with a layer of dense polyfoam that gently contours to the body while providing ample support for growing bodies. The softer side begins with a memory foam layer that offers deeper contouring than the opposite side, creating a comfortably plush surface.

Both sides share a support core of pocketed coils that provide ample pushback but also gently cradle the body. The coils are reinforced around the perimeter so the bed won’t sag when your child sits or sleeps close to the edges. A breathable Tencel cover encases the entire mattress with a plant-based water-repellent treatment designed to protect the mattress from spills and nighttime accidents.

How It Performed

Both sides, especially the softer side, excel in pressure relief, making the bed well suited for kids who sleep on their sides and experience sharp pressure points in the shoulders and hips. The soft side’s plush surface also absorbs movement effectively, so your child won’t feel much movement if sharing the bed with a parent or pet. Reinforced edges can also help prevent children from rolling off the bed in the middle of the night.

Helix mattresses are backed by a 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty. Helix ships free to all 50 states.

The Kiwi Organic Mattress from My Green Mattress is a latex hybrid that offers the best of both worlds when it comes to support and contouring. The responsive feel offers plenty of support for your body while still cradling sensitive pressure points like your shoulders and hips. The zoned design delivers extra contouring where it’s most needed.

What It’s Made of

The mattress begins with a layer of wool batting that lightly cushions your body and acts as a flame retardant. This is followed by a layer of Dunlop latex, which has a slightly buoyant feel that gently conforms to your body. Beneath is a pocketed coil support core that generates sturdy support for the entire mattress. This layer is zoned to bolster the lower back and promote healthy spinal alignment. The perimeter of the bed is lined with reinforced coils to prevent excessive sagging when you sit or sleep near the edges. A breathable organic cotton cover encases the mattress.

While many beds come with organic claims, the Kiwi Organic Mattress has certifications to back up these claims. The latex carries certification from the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) to ensure the material was organically sourced, and the wool and cotton are both organically certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).

How It Performed

The Kiwi Organic Mattress has a medium (5) firmness that’s perfectly suited for side sleepers up to 230 pounds. These sleepers experienced just enough pressure relief for the shoulders and hips without sinking too deep into the bed to cause awkward spinal alignment. Back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds also found the mattress comfortable. One of the bed’s biggest strengths was temperature regulation, due in large part to the natural cooling properties of latex, wool, and cotton. The bed’s responsive surface received high marks for ease of movement, as well.

My Green Mattress offers a generous 365-night sleep trial to try the mattress at home. It’s also backed by a 20-year warranty. Shipping is free to addresses in the contiguous U.S.
