Best Latex Mattresses of 2023: Top Picks From Our Test Lab

The WinkBeds EcoCloud exemplifies everything we like about latex hybrids. The mattress has a medium (5) feel with a zoned design in both the comfort layer and support core. This construction helps maintain even support for your entire body, including areas where you carry a disproportionate amount of weight. As a result, the mattress is particularly well suited to people with pain and pressure points in their shoulders, back, and hips.

How It Performed

During our tests, the EcoCloud earned favorable ratings from side and back sleepers on our team weighing up to 230 pounds. Stomach sleepers on our team across all weight groups also felt comfortable on the mattress. The combination of gentle cushioning and robust coil support makes the EcoCloud an appealing choice for a wide range of sleepers.

We detected little heat buildup when testing the mattress for temperature control. This can be attributed to the breathable cover, moisture-wicking fire barrier, latex that retains minimal heat, and a coil system that promotes steady air circulation. The zoned coils also maintain even support throughout the interior and along the perimeter, so our testers noted minimal sinkage during our edge support and ease of movement tests.

What It’s Made of

The EcoCloud consists of a Talalay latex comfort layer over a pocketed coil support core. Measuring 4 inches thick, the latex creates a highly responsive feel with considerable bounce when you get into bed. This layer feels firmer and more supportive around the lower back, with gentler cradling for lighter areas of the body. The coils are also zoned for extra support in areas where you carry more weight.

A breathable organic cotton cover encases the entire mattress, and a layer of wool batting is sewn into the top surface. Wool has natural moisture-wicking properties to help you stay dry and comfortable on hot and humid nights. The EcoCloud measures 12.5 inches thick, making it a high-profile mattress.

The mattress is competitively priced for a latex hybrid and shipping is free throughout the contiguous U.S. WinkBeds includes a 120-night sleep trial with each order. Should you decide to keep the EcoCloud, you’ll also receive a lifetime warranty covering structural defects for as long as you retain original ownership.

If you live with chronic or frequent back pain, then you should choose a mattress that cushions sore areas without sinking too much beneath your weight. The all-latex PlushBeds Botanical Bliss is available in medium firm (6) and firm (7) feels, and 9-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch profiles. You can also swap out the top layer if your initial choice doesn’t feel comfortable, allowing you to further optimize the mattress to meet your personal needs.

How It Performed

We personally tested both firmness levels and all three profiles for the Botanical Bliss. Generally speaking, the medium firm (6) feel was most comfortable for our side and back sleepers up to 230 pounds. The firm (7) feel earned more favorable ratings from our back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds. Our testers weighing more than 230 pounds also appreciated the extra support of the 10-inch and 12-inch profiles.

All of the mattress’ latex layers are ventilated to promote airflow throughout the interior, and each model is topped with moisture-wicking wool batting to ensure a cool, comfortable surface. As a result, most versions of the Botanical Bliss received high marks during our temperature control tests. The latex is adaptive enough to alleviate pressure and isolate motion, but the material’s responsiveness also allowed our testers to move across the surface without sinking excessively.

What It’s Made of

Each Botanical Bliss begins with an inch of wool batting sewn into the cover, which acts as a moisture-wicking fire barrier. The 9-inch and 10-inch models contain a top layer of Talalay latex, followed by two Dunlop latex support layers. The 12-inch model adds a third Dunlop layer to the support system. A breathable organic cotton cover encases the entire mattress.

The Botanical Bliss holds an impressive number of environmental certifications. These include USDA, GOTS, and GOLS organic certifications, as well as a Forest Stewardship Council certification for the rubber trees used to produce the latex. GREENGUARD Gold and eco-INSTITUT certification mean the mattress has been tested against rigorous standards for chemical emissions. Lastly, the Control Union certification indicates the mattress’ materials and production create a relatively small carbon footprint.

The Botanical Bliss’ sticker price depends on the selected profile, but shipping is free for all orders in the contiguous U.S. PlushBeds’ 100-night comfort exchange allows you to order a new top layer for the mattress if your first choice feels too firm or too soft. This service and return shipping during the 100-night window are both free of charge. The mattress is further backed by a lifetime warranty.

The Eco Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress a good option for eco-conscious consumers with limited budgets. Both the cotton and wool have received GOTS certifications, ensuring these materials are sustainably grown and responsibly sourced. Additionally, the coils are constructed using upcycled steel. That said, the mattress carries a price-point that’s significantly below average for a latex hybrid model.

How It Performed

The mattress is sold in medium (5) and medium firm (6) designs, allowing you to choose a design based on your body type and sleep position. Our team personally tested both versions of the Eco Terra. The medium feel earned favorable ratings from side sleepers across the board, and back and stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds. This model contours closely, resulting in deep cushioning for your body – especially around the shoulders and hips. Our back and stomach sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds felt comfortable on the medium firm model, which still conforms but to a slightly lesser extent.

Responsive Talalay latex over zoned pocketed coils helped the mattress perform well during our ease of movement and edge support tests. We encountered little resistance on the surface, and most of our testers did not sink excessively when positioned along the perimeter. Like other latex hybrids we’ve tested, the Eco Terra also earned high marks for temperature control. We’ve attributed the mattress’ exceptional cooling to its breathable cover, moisture-wicking fire barrier, ventilated latex comfort layer, and a coil system that promotes steady air circulation.

What It’s Made of

The medium and medium firm Eco Terra models feel distinct from one another, but share similar designs. The latter’s Talalay latex comfort layer is slightly denser with an indentation load deflection of 29 to 31, allowing it to feel firmer than the medium model’s latex layer. Both models contain zoned pocketed coils, and are encased in organic cotton covers. Organic wool fire barriers are sewn into the covers.

Compared to other latex hybrids we’ve tested, the Eco Terra is very affordably priced, and shipping is free for all U.S. orders. The mattress comes with a 90-night sleep trial, and returns are allowed after you’ve slept on it for at least 30 nights. Eco Terra also backs the mattress with a manufacturer’s warranty covering structural defects for up to 15 years.

Saatva’s Zenhaven delivers a high-end, reversible design. This all-latex mattress features a medium soft (4) feel on one side and a firm (7) feel on the other, so you’ll most likely find at least one surface comfortable and sufficiently supportive regardless of how much you weigh or which sleep position you prefer. Saatva sweetens the deal with additional perks for shoppers, such as free White Glove delivery and a year-long trial period.

How It Performed

The Zenhaven’s sleep surfaces feel distinct from each other, and our testers were divided on which felt most comfortable. The medium soft feel earned the most favorable ratings from our side sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds, and back and side sleepers under 130 pounds. We’ve found during mattress tests that people who fall into these categories need extra cushioning to sleep comfortably. Our side sleepers weighing at least more than 230 pounds preferred the firm side, and the same was true for our back and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. This surface offered stronger support for testers who sank too much on the medium soft side.

Saatva is known for using high-quality materials, and the Zenhaven is no exception. Dense Dunlop latex layers make up the mattress core. Since this type of latex is associated with above-average durability, we expect the Zenhaven to perform for at least 8 years. The medium soft side earned high marks during our pressure relief tests, while the firm side performed better for edge support. We detected little heat buildup on either surface, and both sides were responsive enough to facilitate mostly sink-free movement.

What It’s Made of

While each side of the Zenhaven has a different firmness level, both share similar designs. A GOTS-certified organic cotton cover encases the entire mattress. Extra quilting around the lumbar region helps alleviate pain and pressure in your lower back. A layer of GOTS-certified New Zealand wool acts as a fire barrier while keeping you cool by wicking moisture away from your body. All Zenhaven models are treated with Guardin, a plant-based antimicrobial agent intended to safeguard the mattress from harmful bacteria.

The comfort layer on each side is divided into five firmness zones to give you extra reinforcement around the torso and hips, and gentler cradling for lighter areas of the body. A thick, shared support core of ultra-dense Dunlop latex is sandwiched between the comfort systems. All latex layers are ventilated with small holes to promote airflow throughout the interior.

Saatva is one of the only online mattress brands to offer free White Glove delivery to all contiguous U.S. customers. On your scheduled delivery date, couriers set up the mattress in a room of your choice and remove your old mattress and box spring upon request. This service normally costs at least $100. The company’s generous sleep trial spans 365 nights in length, and those who keep their Zenhaven also receive a lifetime warranty against structural defects.

Your ideal mattress largely depends on which sleep position you primarily use. If you’re a side sleeper, you’ll probably feel most comfortable on a mattress that cushions and contours to your shoulders and hips – two areas of the body prone to pressure buildup when you use this position. The Nolah Natural 11 features two latex layers that adapt to your unique curves, helping to ensure less pressure in these areas while keeping your body on an even plane, followed by a strong coil system that prevents you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.

How It Performed

The Natural 11 is medium firm (6) with a balanced feel. Ratings were strong across the board with our testing team, but the mattress performed particularly well with our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds, our back sleepers up to 230 pounds, and our stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. All of these testers received adequate cushioning and support from the Natural 11, and sinkage was not a major issue for most of us.

The coils are zoned to reinforce the midsection and push back against compression along the perimeter. As a result, the mattress earned favorable ratings during our edge support and ease of movement tests. Breathability was another area where the Natural 11 performed well. Testing the mattress for temperature control, our thermal sensors picked up little body heat and none of us felt uncomfortably warm.

What It’s Made of

The Natural 11’s comfort system contains two layers of Talalay latex, both ventilated to promote airflow near the surface. The second layer is denser and more supportive, serving as a buffer between your body and the support core. Thick pocketed coils create a sturdy base for the mattress. The coils feel especially robust beneath the torso and hips, and you shouldn’t sink too much when sleeping near the edges or getting in and out of bed.

A breathable cover made of organic cotton encases the entire mattress. Another cooling element is the fire barrier made of natural wool, which wicks away moisture for maximum comfort and dryness on humid nights. As its name implies, the Natural 11 measures 11 inches thick. This makes it a medium-profile mattress, and relatively low to the ground compared to other latex hybrids we’ve tested.

The mattress comes in seven sizes, including a split king. An approachable sticker price and free shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. make the Natural 11 a good option for shoppers with tight budgets. Nolah backs the mattress with a 120-night sleep trial. You can opt out of the trial period and reduce your up-front costs, though this means you won’t be able to return the mattress for a refund at any point. A lifetime warranty against structural defects is included with all orders. You may also purchase an accident protection plan covering stains and other physical damage for up to 10 years.

Comfort is a subjective quality that varies from person to person, but we’ve tested a number of mattresses that seem to transcend comfort preferences across different sleeper types. The Birch is a prime example. This medium firm (6) latex hybrid is designed with balance and moderation in mind, resulting in a mattress that provides close cushioning without sacrificing support or responsiveness.

How It Performed

The Birch was popular among our testers across the board. Our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds received adequate cushioning for their shoulders and hips – two common areas of pressure buildup for those who primarily use this position. The Birch’s coil system also delivered plenty of reinforcement for our back sleepers weighing 130 to 230 pounds, and our stomach sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds.

Temperature control was another area where the Birch performed well during our tests. The mattress contains two layers of wool batting over the comfort layer, creating a surface that sleeps cool and provides excellent moisture control. The Talalay latex and pocketed coils work together to maintain a bouncy surface that we found easy to move across, and the perimeter did not sink much when we tested the mattress for edge support.

What It’s Made of

Like many other latex hybrids we’ve tested, the Birch begins with wool batting sewn into the cover that acts as a natural fire barrier. Wool’s moisture-wicking qualities also help keep you dry, and a second wool layer provides additional cooling. The comfort layer is composed of Talalay latex, creating a light and bouncy feel with gentle contouring for your shoulders and hips. The support core’s pocketed coils are thick and robust, with extra reinforcement along the perimeter to protect the edges from deep sinkage.

The Birch’s organic cotton cover has earned certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), a leading authority for sustainably sourced fabrics. The latex also carries a Rainforest Alliance certification, indicating the rubber trees used to produce the latex are grown and harvested using eco-friendly means.

The Birch’s sticker price is well below average for a latex hybrid and shipping is free for customers in all 50 states. Your order includes two Birch pillows at no extra cost. The sleep trial runs for 100 nights, and those who keep their mattress receive a warranty covering structural defects for up to 25 years.

Latex hybrids tend to be some of the more expensive options on the market, but the Silk & Snow Organic maintains a competitive price-point. The mattress also boasts several certifications, making it a great choice for eco-conscious shoppers.

How It Performed

Our team’s side and back sleepers awarded the mattress high ratings thanks to the medium firm (6) feel and balanced design. Side sleepers found significant contouring for pressure in their hips and shoulders, while back sleepers enjoyed the supportive and even sleep surface. Our stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds also found the mattress comfortable, but we recommend seeking a firmer mattress if you fall into another weight category.

Like many other latex mattresses, the mattress excelled in our temperature control tests. Latex’s natural breathability and steady airflow through the coil support core helped maintain a cool surface that registered minimal heat buildup. We highly recommend the mattress for couples who prioritize a responsive surface for sex. The combination of bouncy latex and coils made the bed easy to move across during our tests. The latex layers also absorb a good amount of movement and most noise, so it’s a decent choice if you share the bed with a restless sleep partner.

What It’s Made of

The comfort system begins with a layer of Joma wool that gives the surface a plush feel while doubling as a natural fire barrier. Underneath is a layer of GOLS-certified Dunlop latex that cradles your body to relieve pressure in your joints and lower back. Pocketed coils in a zoned configuration make up the support core. Thicker coils in the center of the mattress prevent midsection sagging, while thinner coils near the head and foot of the bed cradle lighter areas of the body. Extra coils line the perimeter for sturdy edge support. A breathable, GOTS-certified organic cotton cover encases the mattress.

Silk & Snow offers free shipping to the contiguous U.S. and provincial Canada. Purchases come with 100-night sleep trials, during which you can test the mattress and return it anytime after a 30-night break-in period. The Silk & Snow Organic is backed by a 15-year warranty against structural defects.

Latex hybrids often earn high ratings in our ease of movement and edge support tests, and the Latex for Less Hybrid Latex Mattress is no exception. Thanks to the responsive feel, combination sleepers should have no trouble changing positions at night.

How It Performed

The mattress’ performance slightly depends on the firmness level you choose. Our side sleepers weighing 130 to 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds, enjoyed the medium (5) model. Sleepers in these categories should notice cradling for sore spots without sinking too deeply. Meanwhile, side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds and most back and stomach sleepers will appreciate the firm model’s even surface.

Breathable components like cotton, wool, and latex helped the mattress excel in our temperature control tests. Our heat guns detected minimal heat retention. Like many other latex hybrids, we also recommend this model if you and your partner prioritize responsiveness for sex. Thanks to latex’s naturally bouncy feel and supportive perimeter, we could move across the mattress easily without slipping near the edges.

What It’s Made of

Both models start with a wool comfort layer that cushions the surface and acts as a natural fire barrier. Dunlop latex cradles, rather than adapts, to your body to alleviate pressure buildup. Pocketed coils in the support core keep the body on an even plane, preventing excessive sinkage and reinforcing the perimeter of the mattress. The mattress cover is made from breathable, GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Customers living in the contiguous U.S. are eligible for free shipping. A 120-night sleep trial allows you to test the mattress and return it for a full refund. The Latex for Less Mattress is backed by a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Spindle Organic Latex Mattress has an adjustable feel made with natural and durable materials. The mattress’ adjustable design also allows you to customize the firmness at any time.

How It Performed

Each Organic Latex Mattress comes with medium soft (4), medium (5), and firm (7) Dunlop latex layers. You can unzip the cover and rearrange the layers to create the most comfortable configuration for you and your partner. Our testers weighing less than 130 pounds preferred a soft-to-firm arrangement from top to bottom, resulting in a plush surface with decent support. Those weighing 130 to 230 pounds felt more comfortable with the top two layers reversed. This created a firmer surface feel with extra transitional cushioning. If you weigh more than 230 pounds, we recommend placing the firmest layer on top.

All three latex layers are ventilated for optimal airflow and the cover is breathable organic cotton, so the mattress performed quite well during our temperature control tests. We also found that the latex layers are adaptive enough to reduce motion transfer and alleviate pressure for side sleepers, but also bouncy and conducive to movement across the surface. Edge support varies by layer configuration. For the strongest perimeter, you should place the firm layer above the other two.

What It’s Made of

Each 3-inch latex layer has a distinct feel and cushioning level. That said, all three are composed of dense Dunlop latex that responds to your movement with a light bounce. A 1-inch layer of organic batting encased in the mattress acts as a fire barrier and also keeps the surface cool and dry. This brings the total profile up to 10 inches, so the Organic Latex Mattress toes the line between low- and medium-profile. The cotton and wool hold GOTS certifications and the latex is GOLS-certified, so the mattress should appeal to eco-conscious shoppers who prefer to buy sustainably made products.

Spindle’s 25-year Comfort Exchange program allows you to order additional latex layers if you’re dissatisfied with the initial set, or if one of the layers deteriorates over time. Each layer is available with a 30% discount. This exchange may be suitable if you find the mattress too soft and want to invest in a third firm layer, or vice versa.

The Organic Latex Mattress appears expensive at first glance, but Dunlop latex is a highly durable material and the Comfort Exchange option further extends the lifespan if you’re willing to pay extra down the road. All customers in the contiguous U.S. qualify for free shipping, and Spindle backs the mattress with a year-long sleep trial and 10-year warranty.

If you’re looking for a bed that helps you avoid overheating during sleep, latex mattresses are a safe bet due to their natural cooling properties. The Avocado Green Mattress is no exception. The latex hybrid design is cushioned with wool, which is known for its excellent breathability. The result is a moderately plush surface that retains minimal heat.

How It Performed

The mattress has a firm (7) feel with excellent responsiveness that can be attributed to the coil support core and buoyant latex. During tests, back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds gave the bed high marks. Side sleepers over 230 pounds also found the mattress comfortable, but those in lighter weight categories received insufficient cushioning for the shoulders and hips.

Cooling was one of the bed’s biggest strengths during testing. The comfort system is made entirely of naturally cool materials, and air circulated freely through the coils, so we noticed no heat buildup. The surface was very easy to move around on, which may appeal to sleepers who don’t enjoy beds with a lot of sinkage. This is also a perk for couples who prefer responsive surfaces for sex.

What It’s Made of

The Avocado Green Mattress begins with a cover composed of soft, airy cotton. Underneath is a layer of organic wool, which is not only breathable but also excels at wicking away moisture. Next you’ll find several inches of Dunlop latex that combines gentle contouring and support. Beneath is a thick support core made of pocketed steel coils zoned to deliver extra support and pressure relief where they’re most needed. The wool and cotton have been certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), while the latex carries certification from the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS).

Avocado offers a 365-night sleep trial and 25-year warranty with the Green Mattress. Shipping is free to addresses in the contiguous U.S.

The Dreamfoam Latex is a versatile mattress with multiple firmness and thickness options. Regardless of the design you choose, we found the mattress excels at gentle contouring without compromising on support.

How It Performed

The mattress is available in three firmness options that correspond to medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (8) on our 10-point firmness scale. You can also choose between a 10-inch or 12-inch profile. During testing, back and side sleepers up to 230 pounds gravitated toward the two softer options. The firm option felt most comfortable to back and side sleepers over 230 pounds and stomach sleepers across all weight categories.

The two softer options gently cradle the body and helped relieve pressure buildup in many of our testers, while the firmest option offered moderate cushioning for our sleepers over 230 pounds. All models performed very well in temperature regulation tests, due largely in part to the cooling properties of latex and strong ventilation through the coil core. Our testers also observed strong edge support.

What It’s Made of

The Dreamfoam Latex Mattress begins with a quilted foam top that conforms closely to your body’s curves and joints. Beneath is a layer of Talalay latex with a responsive feel that moderately cradles your body while also generating pushback. The support core is composed of sturdy pocketed coils that offer strong support, with thicker perimeter coils for reinforcement along the edges. The 12-inch model contains a thicker coil layer than the 10-inch model and also features a zippered cover, which makes cleaning and maintenance easier.

Dreamfoam offers a 120-night sleep trial, which is a standard trial length compared to other beds on the market. The bed is also backed by a 10-year warranty. Shipping is free to addresses in the contiguous U.S.
