But as with conventional foam and innerspring mattresses, there’s no single hybrid mattress that’s perfect for everyone. And chances are good you’ll have to try a range of beds to find one that’s “just right.”
In this guide, we share what to expect as you shop for a hybrid mattress—and we offer three of our favorite options to help you get started.
Our pick
With its balance of cuddly, durable foam and just-springy-enough coils, this hybrid has consistently pleased our testers since 2018.
A favorite through multiple rounds of testing, the 11-inch-thick Leesa Sapira Hybrid balances curve-conforming cushion with a little bounce.
We love that the foam is a dense (and therefore durable) 4 pounds per cubic foot. The cover looks and feels equally substantial, too. The coils for a queen exceed 1,000 in number, offering pressure-relieving support; each coil is individually pocketed to keep sleep partners from waking each other up with their tossing and turning. The Leesa Sapira Hybrid is medium-firm, so it caters nicely to those who sleep in all three positions, though side-sleepers who prefer softer mattresses may find it too firm.
For most folks, including those who weigh over 200 pounds, this mattress should hold up through its 10-year warranty without sagging. You can return it within 100 days for a complete refund.
Our pick
The Tempur-Adapt (Medium Hybrid)’s abundant memory foam hugs your body’s every contour. And with the help of more than 1,000 coils, it offers a sturdy, medium-firm feel and great edge support.
The 11-inch-thick Tempur-Adapt (Medium Hybrid) is huggier, slightly firmer, and less bouncy than the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. So it may be a dream for people who like a slow, sinky hug and need just a teensy bit of springiness to help them shift in bed more easily.
The memory-foam layers are a durable 4½ pounds per cubic foot, with sturdy edge support. A good option for back- and stomach-sleepers, the mattress feels medium-firm. But with its meticulous pressure-relieving properties, it should also suit side-sleepers who prefer firmer beds.
We think the Tempur-Adapt should last at least up to its 10-year warranty for most people, including those who weigh over 200 pounds. If you don’t like the Tempur-Adapt, you can return it within 90 days for a refund (minus shipping costs, which can exceed $100).
Our pick
A layer of coils—including firm ones around the perimeter—gives the WinkBed resilience and sturdy edge support. And the thick pillow top loosely cradles without feeling sticky or sinky.
In its construction and feel—complete with sturdy edges, plenty of support coils, and a quilted (instead of a sock) cover—the 13½-inch-thick WinkBed (Luxury Firm) is closer to an innerspring than to a hybrid. But its thick polyfoam pillow top gives it a foamy medium-firm feel that has pleased our testers over multiple years.
The quality of the components (high-density foam and thick coils) makes this mattress a good investment for those who find it comfortable.
It also comes with a lifetime warranty and a 120-day trial period.
