If you like a mattress that feels like a hug, you might consider a memory foam mattress. Memory foam is usually soft and highly contouring, which helps with pressure relief. Since it's typically slow-moving, memory foam mattresses can offer good motion isolation, which is ideal if you sleep light or with a partner who tosses and turns. However, mattresses with a memory foam upper layer can respond slowly, making some sleepers feel unpleasantly stuck instead of comfortably cuddled.
We've tested over 45 mattresses, and below you'll find our recommendations for the best mattresses with memory foam. Our recommendations include both foam and hybrid models, but all have memory foam comfort layers.
