The lovechild of an innerspring mattress and a foam (or latex) mattress, the hybrid offers the best features of both. Hybrids are at the top of the mattress food chain for a reason. They’re more durable, supportive, and comfortable than any other mattress type. Based on our hands-on, data-backed testing process, we determined that the overall best hybrid mattress is the Helix Dusk Luxe.

Why it’s the best

Have you ever heard of a hybrid mattress that not only has the best bits of an innerspring mattress and a memory foam mattress combined but also that of a latex mattress?

You have now.

The Helix Dusk Luxe offers the responsiveness of an innerspring and the contouring of memory foam as well as the support of a mattress made out of latex, which is why it is on the top of our list.

The funny thing is, the Helix Dusk Luxe doesn’t even contain pure latex foam – it does, however, contain layers of proprietary memory foam alternatives including one that’s blended with a bit of latex – yet it somehow still retains that bouncy and responsive latex foam feel.

The Helix Dusk Luxe is perfect for those who suffer from back pain since it provides zoned support (thanks to its coil unit) as well as compression (thanks to its proprietary foam layers).

Specs at a glance

Helix Dusk Luxe Performance

The Helix Dusk Luxe sits on a 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale, giving it a medium-firm feel.

Although medium-firm mattresses can usually accommodate most sleeper types, I found the Helix Dusk Luxe to be a bit too firm for petite side sleepers.

If you’re a back or stomach sleeper, however, then you’ll be golden.

Since the Helix Dusk Luxe is a hybrid, it can absolutely accommodate heavier-set sleepers as well as those who share a bed.

We rate the Helix Dusk Luxe a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Aside from the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress’ four (yes, four) comfort layers, it also features a pillow top which provides more than enough compression and contouring but without the stuck in the mud feel thanks to its coil unit and latex foam blend.

We rate the Helix Dusk Luxe an 8 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Although the Helix Dusk Luxe doesn’t contain any actively cooling materials, it still did a pretty good job of keeping heat retention at bay thanks to its pocketed coil unit as well as its Tencel cover that’s both breathable and cool to the touch.

We rate the Helix Dusk Luxe a 7 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

While it’s certainly not the worst, I did experience a very tiny amount of motion transfer when I tried the Helix Dusk Luxe out with a partner. It won’t really be an issue unless you share a bed with a partner who’s heavier than you are.

We rate the Helix Dusk Luxe a 7 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Again, not the worst I’ve tried but for some reason, even with its reinforced edge coils, the Helix Dusk Luxe is lacking when it comes to the edge support department. Although you won’t roll off the edge of the bed at any time, if you’re a heavier-set sleeper you may not be able to utilize the entire mattress surface.

Alternate pick: Helix Midnight Luxe

If you’re a strict side sleeper and want something from Helix, you can also check out the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress.

Featuring a plush pillow top, the Helix Midnight Luxe provides ample compression and pressure relief suitable for strict side sleepers (despite its medium-firm feel).

The Helix Midnight Luxe also performs extremely well when it comes to motion isolation, making it a great option for couples.

#2. Saatva Classic

Pros

• Suitable for all sleeper types
• Comes in multiple firmness options
• Good for couples

Cons

• Expensive
• Edges can be too firm

Why it’s one of the best

The Saatva Classic is a long-standing favorite for many reasons, but the best I can give you is that there’s quite literally almost no fault to be found with it.

Made up of a blend of individually wrapped coils and gel-infused memory foam, the Saatva Classic features a Euro pillow top that offers deep compression without any of the sinkage as well as responsive support to help with spinal alignment.

Another thing that’s of note is Saatva’s very own antimicrobial treatment called Guardin – each and every Saatva mattress is treated with it. Guardin is a botanical-based treatment that helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew.

In fact, the Saatva Classic is so well-made that one of its supposed attributes is actually working against it – its edges (which helps give the mattress its superior edge support) are raised a little too high, which makes it a bit too firm for comfort.

Specs at a glance

Saatva Classic Performance

You can choose between three firmness options with the Saatva Classic mattress – medium-soft, medium and medium-firm.

This means that there’s a firmness level for every sleeping position, whether stomach or back sleeper or side and combination sleeper.

The Saatva Classic mattress’ dual coil unit provides ample support for sleepers of every shape and size.

We rate the Saatva Classic a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Designed with comfort at the forefront (what good mattress isn’t?), the Saatva Classic’s simple construction of gel memory foam and steel coils provide both the contouring that only a memory foam mattress can give as well as the responsive support of an innerspring so you get compression without any of the sinkage.

We rate the Saatva Classic a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Even with just the cooling gel-infused memory foam, the Saatva Classic sleeps extremely cool, even more so than a lot of other popular mattress brands out there that tout a gazillion different cooling mattress materials that, in reality, are nothing more than marketing jargon.

We rate the Saatva Classic an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

I barely felt any motion transfer when I tried the Saatva Classic out with a partner, making it one of the better options for those who share a bed with a partner or a pet.

We rate the Saatva Classic a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Ever heard the saying ‘too much of a good thing can be a bad thing’? This is what the Saatva Classic’s edge support is like. The high density foam edges surrounding the perimeter of the mattress are set just a little too high, giving the edges of the Saatva Classic a firmer and somewhat uncomfortable feel. We have to knock back a couple of points for that.

Alternate pick: Saatva Latex Hybrid

If you prefer a latex hybrid mattress, check out the Saatva Latex Hybrid.

Similar in construction to the Saatva Classic, the Saatva Latex Hybrid features latex foam layers instead of memory foam, giving you a more buoyant and responsive feel that’s still big on pressure relief.

#3. Bear Natural

Pros

• Suitable for all sleeper types
• Good for couples
• Naturally hypoallergenic
• Responsive yet pressure relieving

Cons

• Edge support is average
• Might be too soft for some

35% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE35

Why it’s one of the best

Out of the thousand hybrid latex mattresses out there, very few have that plush, hotel bed-like feel. Thankfully, we’ve got brands like Bear out there doing God’s work. 

The Bear Natural is a latex hybrid mattress that features a plushness that you usually associate with memory foam, yet it somehow still retains a springy and responsive nature which means there’s no stuck-in-the-mud feel.

Made from a blend of Talalay foam with a coil unit that features different gauged coils, the Bear Natural helps provide extra support right where you need it.

Pure latex is also naturally cooling and hypoallergenic, which makes the Bear Natural one of the safer mattress options (especially if you have kids).

Specs at a glance

Bear Natural Performance

The Bear Natural sits on a 4.5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a medium-soft feel.

This level of firmness is best for both strict side sleepers and combination sleepers. Strict back and stomach sleepers may find that their spine dips in a little too much.

We rate the Bear Natural a 9.5 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

The latex foam and proprietary foam layers of the Bear Natural work seamlessly together to create a plush but very responsive sleeping experience that’s akin to sleeping on a 5-star hotel bed.

We rate the Bear Natural a 7.5 when it comes to cooling.

The Bear Natural has great cooling capabilities due to the Talalay latex. That, plus the Bear Natural’s coil unit – which allows for continuous air flow – makes for one very cooling mattress.

We rate the Bear Natural an 8.5 when it comes to motion isolation.

While latex can be a bit springier than man-made foam, the Bear Natural’s latex foam and proprietary foam combo did a really good job at absorbing any cross mattress movement, making it an excellent choice for those who share a bed.

We rate the Bear Natural a 7 when it comes to edge support.

Though not the worst, the Bear Natural mattress disappoints me a little with its edge support. Sure it contains reinforced edge coils yet I found myself sinking into the edge of the bed while I sat on it.

35% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE35

Alternate pick: Bear Star Hybrid

If you prefer something a bit firmer with better edge support, check out the Bear Star Hybrid.

Made from Bear’s very own Serene gel foam, which is one of their gel-infused memory foam alternatives, the Star Hybrid offers contouring and compression that you normally only find with classic memory foam mattresses while still retaining the support and durability associated with hybrids.

Unlike the Bear Natural, the Star Hybrid comes in a medium-firm which can accommodate all sleeper types.

#4. Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe

Pros

• Extremely cooling
• Offers responsive support
• Pressure relieving
• Features a soft, plush pillow top

Cons

• Motion isolation could be better
• Poor edge support

25% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE25

Why it’s one of the best

With three different firmness options to choose from, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress has something for every sleeper type, but what I liked best about it is that it’s extremely cooling.

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe features a copper-infused hyperelastic foam as well as a cool-to-the-touch GalcioTex cover – both of which help do away with heat retention – making it the perfect choice for those that tend to sleep hot.

Pressure relief is another area where the Aurora Luxe really shines – its combination of three different proprietary comfort foam layers plus the plush pillow top provides great contouring, which eases pressure off your main pressure points (no matter your preferred sleeping position).

Specs at a glance

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Performance

You get three different firmness options to choose from with the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe: soft, medium and firm.

The soft version is perfect for strict side sleepers as well as combination sleepers, while the medium version can accommodate most other sleeper types. The firm is best for those who sleep predominantly on their backs or stomachs.

We rate the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 10 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

You read that right.

A 10 out of 10.

The mattress offers deep compression as well as excellent pressure relief – no matter your preferred sleeping position – thanks to its solid combo of proprietary foam layers coupled with a plush pillow top that gently hugs and contours your body.

We rate the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Like I said previously, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe features not only a cool to the touch GlacioTex cooling cover but it also contains a copper-infused foam layer that immediately dissipates any heat, making it one of the most cooling mattresses I’ve ever tried.

We rate the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

If you share a bed, the Aurora Luxe may not be your best bet since I did experience quite a bit of motion transfer when I tried the mattress out with a partner and you will too, especially if you’re a light sleeper.

We rate the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

For some reason, even with reinforced edges, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe falls flat when it comes to edge support, meaning there’s literally no support at all. You will, sadly, roll off the edge if you sleep close to or on it.

25% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE25

Alternate pick: Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid

If you need a hybrid mattress that comes in not-so-standard sizes such as an RV Queen, check out the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid.

Featuring three layers of comfort foam, the Signature Hybrid offers maximum pressure relief as well as responsive support, and the best part – it comes in not-so-common mattress sizes that can fit any space.

#5. Avenco Original Hybrid Plus

Pros

• Great edge support
• Budget friendly
• Perfect for strict back and stomach sleepers
• Pressure relieving

Cons

• Not suitable for side sleepers
• Poor motion isolation

6% off coupon code: Sleepline

Why it’s one of the best

Back and stomach sleepers are a minority when it comes to sleeping positions, so we often don’t get a lot of love when it comes to mattresses made specifically for us.

Well, the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus changes that.

Targeted specifically towards those who sleep on their backs or stomachs, the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus features a firm surface that helps provide proper spinal alignment, without compromising on pressure point relief.

The Avenco Original Hybrid Plus is a pretty affordable mattress that’s perfect if you’re on a budget or if you’re looking for an extra mattress for your guest bedroom.

Specs at a glance

Avenco Original Hybrid Plus Performance

The Avenco Original Hybrid Plus sits on a 7 on the mattress firmness scale which gives it a true firm feel.

This level of firmness is only suitable for strict back or stomach sleepers and will absolutely be too firm for those who sleep on their sides (or even combination sleepers).

We rate the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus a 7 out of 10 when it comes to pressure relief and comfort.

Ok, hear me out. This only gets a 7 purely for the fact that it can only accommodate back and stomach sleepers and not side sleepers. If you belong to the former then rest assured that you will get more than enough pressure relief as well as responsive support.

We rate the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus an 8 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

The mattress performs brilliantly when it comes to cooling thanks to its gel-infused memory foam layer and pocketed coil unit, which work in tandem to help dissipate any heat.

We rate the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus a 6 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

If it’s just you sleeping on the bed then this shouldn’t be an issue, but if you share a bed with a partner, you will experience quite a good amount of motion transfer. It’s especially bouncy, I tell you that now.

We rate the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Of course the Avenco Original Hybrid Plus performs well when it comes to edge support. How could it not with its double whammy of reinforced edge coils and foam edge reinforcements? You get to utilize all of the mattress surface, giving you more bang for your buck.

#6. Naturepedic EOS Classic

Pros

• Natural and all-organic
• Customizable
• Responsive and pressure relieving
• Naturally cooling

Cons

• Expensive
• Poor edge support

15% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE15

Why it’s one of the best

A latex hybrid that’s customizable at any time that you want to change its firmness?

YES.

The Naturepedic EOS Classic is a certified organic and all-natural mattress that allows you to change its firmness just by shifting its layers around depending on your preferred sleeping position or let’s be honest – your mood.

Of course you also get the same responsive support that you would expect from a high-end latex mattress thanks to its layers of certified-organic Talalay latex foam as well as its recycled steel pocketed coils.

Pure latex is naturally cooling and hypoallergenic, making the Naturepedic EOS Classic one of the safest mattresses you can lay your head on.

Specs at a glance

Naturepedic EOS Classic Performance

We’re all usually used to only being able to choose just one firmness option then being forced to live with that for the rest of the mattress’ lifespan, but the Naturepedic EOS Classic is different.

You get to pick and choose different firmness options just by shifting its layers around. This means it is suitable for all sleeper types including side sleepers and combination sleepers.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

The latex foam layer combined with the PLA comfort layer work together to create a plush yet very responsive sleeping experience that helps keep pressure off your main pressure points.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Aside from the naturally cooling latex foam layer, the Naturepedic EOS Classic also contains organic cotton and organic wool batting that’s proven to be temperature regulating, which means you stay cool and fresh at any time of the day.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9.7 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

Despite its latex foam layer and pocketed steel coils, the Naturepedic EOS Classic is neither too bouncy nor springy and I barely felt any movement when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

This is definitely due to the fact that you can move its internal layers around which means the Naturepedic EOS Classic cannot contain any reinforced edge coils. So thanks to that feature, you can unfortunately say goodbye to edge support.

#7. Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid Mattress

Pros

• Great for couples
• Fully organic
• Fiberglass-free
• Offers responsive support

Cons

• Medium version may be too firm for petite side sleepers
• Not as compressing as memory foam

Free mattress protector coupon code: Sleepline

Why it’s one of the best

A hybrid mattress that’s fully organic, fiberglass-free and budget-friendly?

Just a few years ago you’d be hard-pressed to find one that hits all three, but now you’ve got companies like Sweet Zzz offering excellent latex hybrid mattresses that check all the boxes (without being too expensive, either).

Made up from pure, organic latex, the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid features micro-coils in its coil unit, giving it an extremely responsive feel while still providing enough pressure point relief.

Another thing I liked about the Honey Hybrid is its motion isolating capabilities, which make it an excellent choice for couples.

Specs at a glance

Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid Mattress Performance

The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid comes in three firmness options – medium soft, medium firm and firm.

This gives every sleeper type an option.

The SweetZzz Honey Hybrid’s medium-firm option skews a little towards the firmer side so strict side sleepers may find that it doesn’t provide them with the pressure relief they need.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid a 7.5 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

You might think this is a little low but I promise you, you’ll still get ample pressure relief. If you’re looking for deep compression and contouring like what you’d get from traditional memory foam mattresses, look elsewhere though.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid an 8.5 when it comes to cooling.

It should come as no surprise that the Honey Hybrid sleeps cool due to the fact that it contains both latex and wool, both of which are known to be naturally temperature regulating. Hot sleepers should definitely keep this mattress on their radar.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid an 8.5 when it comes to motion isolation.

For a mattress that contains latex foam and two different layers of coils with no man-made foam whatsoever, the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid absorbs cross mattress movement, which makes it a great option for couples.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid a 9.5 when it comes to edge support.

You and I can thank the micro-coil layer here because it also acts as a reinforced edge coil system. This is one of the best hybrid mattresses that I’ve ever tried when it comes to edge support.

#8. WinkBeds EcoCloud

Pros

• Good for heavier-set individuals
• Very cooling
• Suitable for back and stomach sleepers
• Exceptional edge support

Cons

• Not suitable for strict side sleepers
• Poor motion isolation

Why it’s one of the best

Although most (if not all) hybrid mattresses are already geared toward heavier-set individuals, it can sometimes be difficult to find one that’s suitable for heavyweight people who are strict back and stomach sleepers.

The WinkBeds EcoCloud is a hybrid mattress that accommodates heavier-set sleepers that sleep predominantly on their backs or stomachs, but also provides a plush sleeping experience that’s, yes, akin to sleeping on a cloud (albeit a pretty firm cloud).

Another thing that’s of note with the WinkBeds EcoCloud is its edge support, which is one of the best I’ve ever encountered. Having good edge support means you get to utilize all of the mattress surface.

Specs at a glance

WinkBeds EcoCloud Performance

The WinkBeds EcoCloud sits on a 6 on the mattress firmness scale, which means it has a medium-firm feel.

But here’s the kicker – if you are a lightweight side sleeper, you might find the EcoCloud to be a little too firm for comfort to the point where you might end up with pressure point issues, so I only recommend this mattress to back and stomach sleepers.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 7 out of 10 when it comes to pressure relief and comfort.

If you’re a side sleeper, you can go ahead and opt out now, but back and stomach sleepers will get more than enough pressure relief with the WinkBeds EcoCloud thanks to its latex foam layer that contours the body (without any sinkage).

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Since the the mattress contains latex foam layers as well as a pocketed coil unit, there’s no heat retention whatsoever, making it a good option for those who tend to sleep extremely hot.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

Unfortunately, due to its springier nature, the WinkBeds EcoCloud does not really absorb a lot of cross mattress movement, which isn’t ideal for those who share a bed with a partner.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Reinforced edge coils surround the perimeter of the mattress, giving it extra edge support. You won’t feel as though you are in danger of rolling off the edge of the bed when you lay on the WinkBeds EcoCloud.

Alternate pick: The WinkBed

If you’re a strict side sleeper, check out the OG WinkBed mattress.

The WinkBed mattress has four different firmness levels to choose from, including one that’s made specifically for heavier-set sleepers.

It’s also plush and pressure relieving – so much so that it is one of the mattresses that we recommend for those who suffer from chronic body pain.

#9. Happsy Organic Mattress

Pros

• Certified organic
• Fiberglass-free
• Cooling
• Offers responsive support

Cons

• Poor edge support
• Slight motion transfer

15% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE15

Why it’s one of the best

When you hear the terms clean, green, and organic; you immediately think “expensive”. But what if I told you that the Happsy Organic mattress is as clean and green as they come and won’t cost you an arm and a leg?

Affordable and budget-friendly, the Happsy Organic mattress, however, does not skimp on quality and you still get premium, high quality materials such as GOLS-certified latex, organic wool, and organic cotton as well as recycled steel coils.

That also means you get a similar premium and high-quality sleeping experience as the more expensive latex hybrid mattress brands out there.

Specs at a glance

Happsy Organic Mattress Performance

The Happsy Organic mattress comes in two different firmness options: a medium-soft and a medium-firm.

A 4.5 on the mattress firmness scale, the medium-soft version is perfect for those who sleep only on their sides as it gives them more than enough pressure relief for their main pressure points which are typically the shoulders and hips.

The medium-firm version is a 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale and is best for stomach and back sleepers.

We rate the Happsy Organic mattress an 8 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

While you don’t get that cuddled-in compression that you typically get from memory foam (since this mattress is made out of latex), you still get enough pressure relief. The mattress also provides zoned support which helps with proper spinal alignment.

We rate the Happsy Organic mattress a 9 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

You’re probably tired of hearing this by now, but in case you got this far and still don’t know, pure latex is naturally cooling. The Happsy Organic mattress does not retain heat. It also features an organic wool batting that adds to its temperature regulating capabilities.

We rate the Happsy Organic mattress a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

I’ll be honest – you may feel some very, very slight motion transfer, especially if you share a bed with a partner who’s way heavier than you are (but it’s nothing too crazy).

We rate the Happsy Organic mattress a 6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Alas, no mattress is perfect and this one, as outstanding as it is, performs poorly when it comes to edge support. You will roll off the edge of the bed.

#10. Nolah Original Hybrid

Pros

• Suitable for heavier-set sleepers
• Cooling
• Responsive and pressure relieving
• Suitable for all sleeper types

Cons

• Poor edge support
• Slight off gassing

Why it’s one of the best

Sometimes you just want a hybrid mattress without all the bells and whistles – one that’s simple yet good enough to stand on its own, without the help of any [insert overhyped and overused marketing jargon here].

That’s the Nolah Original Hybrid for you.

There are only four layers to Nolah Original Hybrid, but even if the mattress construction is simple, this mattress packs a punch.

That’s because the Nolah Original Hybrid features targeted zoned coils that offer more support in areas you need it the most; the lumbar area, your shoulders, your legs (basically everywhere).

For this reason alone I can safely say that the Nolah Original Hybrid is great for those who suffer from chronic back pain.

Specs at a glance

Nolah Original Hybrid Performance

The Nolah Original Hybrid sits squarely on a 5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a true medium feel. This means it’s suitable for all sleeper types including strict back sleepers and combination sleepers.

We rate the Nolah Original Hybrid a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

The Nolah Original Hybrid contains two different types of proprietary memory foam alternatives that offer the same type of contouring as classic memory foam, which means you get great pressure relief. Unlike standard memory foam you won’t get the dreaded stuck-in-the-mud feel.

We rate the Nolah Original Hybrid an 8 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Surprisingly, the Nolah Original Hybrid doesn’t contain any actively cooling materials, but it still performs very well when it comes to keeping heat retention at bay. This mattress is a good choice for hot sleepers.

We rate the Nolah Original Hybrid a 10 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

Hybrid mattresses aren’t exactly known for their ability to isolate cross-mattress movement, but the Nolah Original Hybrid’s proprietary foam layers good. Really good. I didn’t feel any movement AT ALL when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Nolah Original Hybrid a 6.6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

This is where the this mattress falls short (it was going so well). The edge support on the Nolah Original Hybrid is practically non-existent, so don’t expect to be able to utilize the entirety of the mattress surface. Sorry.

Alternate pick: Nolah Evolution 15

If you prefer something a bit more robust and with better edge support, check out the Nolah Evolution 15.

Soft and luxurious, the Evolution 15 is thicker than the Original Hybrid, which means there’s a whole lot more going on, such as thicker edge coils and a Euro pillow top.

How we chose these mattresses

We picked these mattresses based on a complete list of factors that we believe make up a great hybrid mattress. We base them off the following criteria:

• Pressure relief – Everyone has pressure points, so this is important when it comes to choosing the right mattress. We chose mattresses that offer maximum pressure relief.
• Cooling – Sleeping hot is the number one cause of sleeplessness. Choosing mattresses that offer superb cooling capabilities is crucial to getting a good night’s sleep.
• Firmness – Mattress firmness correlates to one’s preferred sleeping position, so we chose mattresses that suit most, if not all, sleeping positions from back sleeping to stomach sleeping and side sleeping.
• Motion isolation – Picking a mattress that offers good motion isolation is important if you share a bed with a partner. We chose mattresses that are suitable for couples.
• Edge support – Not only does edge support help (and protect) those who prefer sleeping close to the edge of the bed, having a mattress with good edge support also provides you with a wider mattress surface.
• Durability – We chose mattresses that we know will last long and ones that come with reasonable return policies.
