Thick mattresses can make or break your sleep. Too thin may lead to spinal misalignment; too thick means it could become difficult for you to move around freely on the bed.
10 inches is often an appropriate thickness for most individuals, providing sufficient support and lightweight portability.
1. Signature Hybrid by Brooklyn Bedding
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress is an attractive hybrid mattress featuring foam and pocketed coils to provide both comfort and support. This mattress has a medium-firm feel, making it suitable for most sleepers but possibly too soft for some stomach or back sleepers. However, this option could be suitable for combo sleepers who switch sleeping positions throughout the night.
This mattress boasts a layer of gel swirl memory foam to keep the mattress cool, combined with a layer of 7.5” high-density foundation foam to produce a medium-firm feel. An EcoSleep hybrid version with more firm support is also available.
The cover is made of premium-feeling cotton blend fabric that’s both breathable and soft to the touch, featuring deeper areas of tufting for additional softness and compressibility. Plus, its tufted design helps maintain a neat appearance, which is essential for regular bed use.
If you are a heavy sleeper, I would highly suggest this mattress due to its ample support in the center of the mattress, which will keep your hips and spine aligned properly while sleeping on it. It would also work well for average weight side and combo sleepers due to its balanced feel; lightweight stomach sleepers may find this too soft for their preferences though.
This mattress boasts a low motion transfer rating and should effectively isolate movement from your partner, helping ensure no disruption of sleep is experienced in shared bedrooms.
2. Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Mattress
Tempur-Pedic has long been known for their pressure-relieving memory foam products, from aircraft seats for NASA aircrafts to their most popular mattresses. Each mattress boasts three unique properties that make them great for reducing motion transfer, supporting your weight and decreasing risk of back pain.
Sleep is essential to health, and getting enough quality restful rest can improve problem-solving skills and memory performance. Tempur-Pedic mattresses reduce motion transfer by adapting to your movement so that you can fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer; in addition, their memory foam construction cushions hips and shoulders while sleeping for additional soreness relief.
Tempur-Pedic mattresses not only reduce motion transfer, but they also support your body weight and feature memory foam technology that conforms to your individual curves for superior comfort. Their foams also cradle spine and shoulders to reduce back pain and shoulder discomfort for an excellent sleeping experience across most positions.
The Tempur-Cloud mattress is an all-foam mattress featuring two layers of memory foam to cradle your body and provide excellent pressure relief. A dense polyfoam core reinforces these comfort layers to prevent deep sinkage; with its medium firmness rating suitable for most sleepers.
Tempur-Pedic stands apart from other luxury brands by not providing full specifications of its mattresses, making it difficult to assess their quality. Their showrooms and national advertising campaigns also generate substantial overhead that increases prices significantly; online retailers typically offer similar quality mattresses at much more reasonable rates.
3. Tempur-Pedic Gel Memory Foam Mattress
Tempur-Pedic has become one of the most sought-after mattresses in the US due to its proprietary TEMPUR material that gently conforms around your body. Unfortunately, its popularity comes with higher memory foam material prices when compared with newcomers who can provide similar pressure relieving effects.
This mattress is an all-foam or hybrid with two layers of TEMPUR material atop polyurethane foam for medium firmness. The core layer contains high density TEMPUR material to provide support and durability while its top soft layer offers comfort.
TEMPUR mattresses are specially engineered to reduce motion transfer between partners who share sleeping arrangements, making it an excellent choice for couples who sleep together. Furthermore, its two layers work to keep it cooler than most memory foam options while offering excellent bounce and edge support. Unfortunately, its slower response and slightly increased sinkage make it less suitable for heavier sleepers than average.
The Tempur-Adapt is an excellent option for back and stomach sleepers seeking maximum pressure relief in those positions, while being slightly too firm for side sleepers who might prefer something softer like our #1 pick, the Nectar or, for extra support needs, our #4 choice, Puffy.
The Tempur-Adapt is an expensive memory foam mattress, but its luxurious feel makes up for it with excellent pressure relief, motion isolation and cooling features. Ideal for lightweight to average-weight back and stomach sleepers who can afford its high price tag; for budget-minded shoppers looking for a similar feel but without spending as much, Leesa Studio may be your perfect alternative; costing approximately one quarter as much while providing similar performance or feel to Tempur-Adapt. Alternatively consider Casper Nova Hybrid Mattress or Loom & Leaf Mattress as alternatives with similar price tags and similar feel!

5. Serta iComfort Hybrid Mattress
Serta’s hybrid models combine memory foam and coils for optimal support with plenty of deep bounce, perfect for sleepers looking for something with supportive yet deep cushioning qualities. Their 1025 iComfort Hybrid Support System boasts individually wrapped coils which feel soft at first touch but become firmer as more weight is applied, while their CF2000 and CF4000 Hybrid Firm models feature stronger coils than their Medium or Plush models – Serta also adjusts spring strength accordingly to vary firmness level between models to customize firmness levels as desired by sleepers.
All iComfort hybrid mattresses feature a layer of carbon fiber memory foam that promotes cool sleep by channeling heat away from the body and cooling technology works effectively – which makes this mattress ideal for people who sleep hot! Customers have raved about how effective the cooling technology works! Reviews from satisfied customers speak volumes.
The iComfort Hybrid Collection comes in various sizes and styles to accommodate different types of sleepers. For side sleepers, the iComfort Blue Max mattress is ideal, while back or stomach sleepers should look into CF2000 or CF4000 models as these offer back or stomach support respectively. In general, however, its moderate firmness makes it suitable for most individuals.
Serta Mattress Company is dedicated to environmental sustainability, using eco-friendly materials in its mattress manufacturing process. According to their website, priority is given for saving energy and minimizing waste during manufacturing – an exceptional practice which helps lessen its impact on the environment.
As with other Serta mattresses, the iComfort Hybrid mattress is CertiPUR-US certified to ensure the materials used don’t contain any toxic or ozone-depleting chemicals, while also meeting environmental standards and emitting low emissions.
