The best hybrid mattresses offer strong cooling, motion dissipation, and edge support. Most hybrid designs feature at least one polyfoam, memory foam, or latex comfort layer and a layer of pocket springs that provide additional support and responsiveness. As a result, you might prefer a hybrid over an all-foam design if you want to avoid the deadened feel of some all-foam models, since they always have at least a bit of bounce. Of course, you'll also want to shop for one with the right blend of support and pressure relief for your sleeping position and body type.
We've tested more than 70 mattresses, and over 45 of those are hybrids. Below, you'll find our recommendations for the best hybrid mattresses for most people. If you want to know more about how a mattress's specific components affect how it feels, you might be interested in our article about performance modeling. We also recommend the best mattresses for side sleepers, the best firm mattresses, and the best mattresses for seniors.
We've tested over 70 mattresses. We purchase each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of manufacturer influence. Each mattress undergoes the same tests to measure objective data on characteristics like firmness, cooling, and motion isolation, so you can easily compare results. Since we buy all our mattresses, we can tear them down layer by layer and isolate the mechanical properties of every component: quilted tops, foams, coils, and any special materials.

Best Hybrid Mattress
Side Sleeping8.3Back Sleeping8.5Stomach Sleeping8.6Longevity5.3Cooling8.9Motion Dissipation8.5Responsiveness5.0Firmness Level:Medium (47 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsBed-In-A-Box:YesPick if: You like hugging memory foam, and you're a hot sleeper.
Skip if: You feel constricted by memory foam, or durability is a priority.The best hybrid mattress we've tested is the Casper Snow. This Medium hybrid combines soft, slow-moving memory foam layers with firmer springs for a plush, enveloping feel and an impressive balance of support and pressure relief that works well for most sleepers, regardless of weight or sleeping position. You'll sink quite deeply into its comfort layers, and its low responsiveness gives it a hugging feel typical of memory foam.
Although memory foam has a reputation for holding onto heat, it offers an excellent cooling performance. Indeed, the biggest advantage of the Casper Snow is its cooling. If you're a hot sleeper, our heat transfer testing shows this mattress will keep you cool as you fall asleep and continue to dissipate heat throughout the night, ensuring you don't wake up uncomfortable. While it's a great option if you sleep with a partner since you won't feel your partner's every movement throughout the night, it won't be as comfortable if you also share your bed with your pets. That's because you'll likely feel like you're falling out of bed when sleeping close to the edge of the mattress, owing to its lackluster edge support. Also, unfortunately, it's not a durable option. It contains only low-quality foam, which makes it likely to show signs of wear and tear faster than mattresses with higher-quality foam.

Skip if: You're an average-weight or heavier back/stomach sleeper and want more support.The Helix Midnight Luxe 2025 is worth considering if you're looking to save some money and want a more responsive hybrid mattress. This Medium hybrid offers impressive pressure relief for side sleepers and, unlike the Casper Snow, won't make you feel hugged or stuck in place. Its motion dissipation and edge support make it a good choice for couples as well. You'll sink quite deeply into it, which gives it a pillowy, enveloping feel and helps relieve pressure on your arm and shoulder when you sleep on your side. While it's not as supportive as the Casper Snow, it still offers adequate support for most people, which helps ensure your hips don't sink in overly far and makes it suitable for combination sleepers as well as side sleepers. However, if you're average-weight or heavier and always sleep on your back or stomach, more support would be ideal.
It's also a good option for hot sleepers, especially if you often wake up later in the night feeling overheated. The mattress's sturdy edges give you a more comfortable sleeping space if you share it with a partner or pet, and its impressive motion isolation prevents you from feeling most movements. However, motion dissipates somewhat slowly, so bigger movements, like someone getting into bed, can make the mattress wobble for a moment.

Best Mid-Range Hybrid Mattress

Skip if: You're a lighter side sleeper, a hot sleeper, or durability is a priority.The Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge is a great mid-range option, especially if you always sleep on your side. This Medium hybrid available at Costco (U.S.) isn't nearly as supportive as the Helix Midnight Luxe 2025, so it's not as suitable for average-weight or heavier combination sleepers. However, a thick pillow top gives it a similarly enveloping feel and helps make it a great option for average-weight and heavier side sleepers. Its pocket coil support layer helps give it a bouncy, responsive feel, so you won't feel stuck in place.
This mattress's very sturdy edges make it a good choice for people who need a solid surface for getting in and out of bed and give couples more comfortable sleeping space. We measured excellent motion dissipation, so if you sleep with a partner, you won't feel most movements. It's cooling enough for most people, but if you're a hot sleeper, you'll want a mattress with slightly better cooling, especially if you usually feel overheated as you're falling asleep. Unfortunately, it's not the most durable option, since it only includes low-density foam, making it prone to showing signs of wear sooner.

Best Budget Hybrid Mattress
Side Sleeping7.6Back Sleeping7.4Stomach Sleeping7.3Longevity6.3Cooling8.2Motion Dissipation7.9Responsiveness8.7Firmness Level:Medium-Plush (40 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsBed-In-A-Box:YesPick if: You're looking for a budget-friendly mattress with a bouncy, responsive feel.
Skip if: You're a lightweight side sleeper or durability is a priority.The Casper Cooling Select Hybrid is worth considering if you want a more budget-friendly hybrid mattress, especially if you want better cooling. Like the Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge, it's available at Costco (U.S.) for both members and non-members. This Medium-Plush mattress's much worse motion isolation and edge support make it not as suitable for couples, and its comfort layers don't provide as much pressure relief for lighter people. However, it's very well-suited for average-weight and heavier combination sleepers, since it'll cushion pressure points when you sleep on your side and keep your spine decently aligned when you're on your back or stomach. Its bouncy, responsive design makes it feel easy to move around on.
We measured impressive cooling, especially overnight, so it's suitable if you're a hot sleeper and want to avoid a mattress that gets warmer and warmer as you sleep. While its motion isolation isn't as good as the previous picks, and you'll feel some smaller movements as well as larger ones, motion is mostly felt near the source and dissipates quickly, so you might not mind as long as you're not easily disturbed. Also, as you might expect from a budget-friendly mattress, it's only somewhat durable, with a mix of high-, good-, and low-quality foams.

Best Cheap Hybrid Mattress
Side Sleeping7.4Back Sleeping7.1Stomach Sleeping7.1Longevity5.8Cooling9.0Motion Dissipation7.5Responsiveness9.1Firmness Level:Medium (43 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsBed-In-A-Box:YesPick if: You want a good hybrid mattress for as little as possible.
Skip if: You're a lighter side sleeper or want a durable mattress.If you're looking for an inexpensive hybrid mattress, consider the IKEA VALEVÅG. This springy, responsive hybrid mattress doesn't let you sink in as much as the Casper Cooling Select Hybrid, so it's not ideal if you like enveloping mattresses. However, it's much less expensive, and if you're average-weight or heavier, it provides enough cushioning for comfortable side sleeping. Its superb overall cooling performance makes it worth considering if you're a hot sleeper looking for a cheap mattress, especially if you often feel overheated later in the night, since we measured exceptionally good cooling over eight hours.
This mattress also offers good overall motion dissipation, so your partner's movements aren't extremely noticeable. However, bigger movements are felt all over the mattress, so it's not ideal if you sleep lightly and motion isolation is a priority. Also, as you might expect for the price, it's not very durable. Both foam layers are made of lower-quality polyfoam and are prone to forming permanent indentations or impressions sooner.

Best Hybrid Mattress For Cooling
Side Sleeping7.1Back Sleeping6.8Stomach Sleeping6.7Longevity7.4Cooling9.9Motion Dissipation8.3Responsiveness9.3Firmness Level:Medium (45 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsBed-In-A-Box:YesPick if: You want the coolest possible mattress.
Skip if: You're an average-weight or heavier back/stomach sleeper or a lighter side sleeper.If you're a hot sleeper and cooling is a big priority, you might prefer the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid. This Medium hybrid mattress's outstanding cooling makes it a great option for persistently hot sleepers. It feels exceptionally cool when you first get into bed and performs equally well overnight, so overall, it's cooling enough for even the hottest sleepers. It's not as versatile as picks like the Casper Snow, so it doesn't work for as wide a range of sleepers, but it provides enough pressure relief for average-weight and heavier side sleepers and enough support for lighter back/stomach sleepers.
It's much less enveloping than the Casper Snow as well. You won't sink very deeply into it, and it's very responsive, which avoids making you feel enveloped or hugged, which is a plus if you're a hot sleeper. Otherwise, it's a decently durable option with good-quality foam layers that will help it resist sagging and maintain a consistent performance for longer. It offers great motion isolation, so you won't feel your partner's every move, and its sturdy edges make the sleeping surface feel a little bigger. However, if you're looking for a mattress for you and a partner, it's worth noting that it's not for everyone. It doesn't offer enough pressure relief for many side sleepers or enough support for many back/stomach sleepers. The mattress's grid-shaped comfort layer contributes to its fantastic cooling, but you can feel the grid under the mattress cover, which might bother some people.

Best Latex Hybrid Mattress

Skip if: You're a lighter side sleeper.If you want a more durable mattress or prefer a firmer feel, you might want the Avocado Green, our best latex hybrid. This Firm mattress's high-density latex comfort layer will help it resist indentations and impressions and make it a much more durable option than the Casper Snow. Because of its firmer feel, it doesn't offer as much pressure relief and isn't as suitable for lighter side sleepers, but it's a comfortable option for average-weight and heavier side sleepers, who will sink in more. It's also impressively supportive regardless of your weight, making it a versatile mattress suitable for back and stomach sleepers as well.
A springy latex comfort layer and bouncy coils give the mattress a responsive feel and make it feel easy to move around on. It offers fantastic cooling, especially over eight hours, so it's ideal for hot sleepers who often wake up later in the night feeling overheated. If you sleep with a partner, you won't feel most movements, although unlike the Casper Snow, motion dissipates somewhat slowly and bigger movements can make the mattress wobble. That said, its edge support is fantastic, so it's a good option for couples who want maximum comfortable sleeping space.

Sleep On Latex Hybrid:
The Sleep On Latex Hybrid is a very firm hybrid mattress. It's even more supportive than the Avocado Green and offers significantly better motion dissipation. However, it's not as cooling and provides much less pressure relief, so it's best suited for dedicated back and stomach sleepers.

FAQs
What is a hybrid mattress, and how is it different from memory foam?
Hybrid mattresses include one or more layers of foam, such as polyfoam or memory foam, and a spring support layer, which is usually made up of pocket coils. All-foam memory foam mattresses don't include a spring layer, and usually use firmer polyfoam for support. If you like mattresses with a hugging feel, check out our recommendations for the best memory foam mattresses.
Are hybrid mattresses better for hot sleepers?
Hybrid mattresses are often more cooling than all-foam mattresses because spring layers dissipate heat more efficiently than solid foam layers. However, it depends on a specific mattress's construction and cooling features. If you're a hot sleeper, you'll want a mattress with a cooling score of at least 8.
Are hybrid mattresses good for couples?
Many hybrid mattresses are suitable for couples. Most use individually wrapped pocket coils for support, which helps isolate motion, and some also use firmer coils for edge support, which helps maximize comfortable sleeping space for you and a partner. That said, if you sleep very lightly and want extremely strong motion isolation, you may get the best performance from an all-foam mattress.
