The Best Memory Foam Mattress of 2025
FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!
The ProAdapt Medium mattress from Tempur-Pedic has earned the distinction of being the best memory foam mattress of 2025. New this year is the Tempur-APR® Support Layer, their most pressure-relieving material ever. The medium comfort makes it a great choice for sleep partners with different comfort preferences, but both still enjoy a memory foam feel from their beds.
Our mattress experts chose this model because of Tempur-Pedic’s long history of developing the best comfort foams for bedding and this year’s inclusion of the Tempur-APR® Support material. When it comes to comfort and support from a memory foam mattress, there is none better than the ProAdapt Medium mattress.
The Best Innerspring Mattress of 2025
FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!
Stearns & Foster earned the best innerspring mattress of 2025 with the Lux Estate Tight Top Mattress. The new addition this year is the inclusion of TEMPUR-Indulge foam. This foam was exclusively developed for Stearns & Foster by the sleep experts at Tempur-Pedic. As a medium comfort, this bed is an excellent choice for sleep partners who have different comfort preferences but also like the traditional innerspring feel.
Our mattress experts chose this mattress as the best innerspring for 2025 because of the pressure-relieving and body-aligning IntelliCoil innersprings. Their unique design consists of a taller, more flexible outer coil that compresses more easily under light pressure to support your whole body and a shorter, more tightly wound inner coil that only activates under greater pressure to provide relief at pressure points.
The Best Hybrid Mattress of 2025
The best hybrid mattress of 2025 is the Beautyrest Black Series 3 Medium Hybrid. Gardner White’s mattress experts were highly impressed by the innovations that Beautyrest offered in their hybrid design for this year. Beautyrest Black has long been known as a luxury collection of mattresses, but for 2025, they knocked it out of the park with their hybrid models!
The ContourFit Design creates a surface that cradles your body, relieving pressure with contouring FORM HD Material and optional Self-Response Latex for added responsive support. Cooling features like the Sleep Climate Surface and Micro Diamond Memory Foam ensure a refreshing sleep, while the FORM HD Material improves airflow for lasting comfort. This mattress delivers exceptional support, motion separation, and pressure relief, offering a luxurious sleep experience tailored to your needs.
The 2025 Best Mattress for Back Sleepers
The Sentinel Medium Eurotop Mattress from Kingsdown is the best mattress for back sleepers in 2025. All Kingsdown mattresses are handmade with an eye for detail and high quality. Each mattress is topped with a gusseted layer of specialty quilt foams, underpinned by a high-performance core for optimized support.
The wave support system with multi-gauge coils offers variable responses to the shoulders, hips, and lumbar area. Combining that with a layer of tempered micro coils, and 1″ of solid plush foam, and people will really enjoy sleeping on this best mattress for back sleepers.
The 2025 Best Mattress for Side Sleepers
The 2025 best mattress for side sleepers is the Summit Martius Plush from Serta’s Perfect Sleeper collection. Side sleepers require extra pressure relief and support for their hips and shoulders for optimal comfort while sleeping. This mattress delivers that and so much more!
Our mattress experts were challenged when testing mattresses for side sleepers, a group of people who have more support needs than anyone else. Ultimately, the combination of Talalay latex, EverCool Supreme Memory Foam, and Cool Twist Gel Memory Foam make for a plush comfort surrounding side sleepers’ bodies.
The 2025 Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers
The Blissful Extra Firm Hybrid Mattress from Cindy Crawford Home is the 2025 best mattress for stomach sleepers. People who sleep on their stomachs really need solid support since the human body isn’t ideally designed for sleep in this position. However, those who prefer this position need a comfortable and supportive bed.
The Blissful Extra Firm boasts an innovative new innerspring design called the V-Coil. This system offers superior support and contouring with fewer coils than other, more traditional innerspring systems. The firm comfort will also properly align your spine for ideal support and comfort while sleeping on your stomach.
The Best Cooling Mattress of 2025
FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!!
Our experts have chosen the TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze Medium Hybrid Mattress as the best cooling mattress of 2025. Tempur Pedic knocked this one out of the park with so many different layers of cooling material. If you sleep hot, forget the fan and try a LuxeBreeze Medium Hybrid mattress!
This one was probably the easiest decision for our mattress experts. As soon as the topic of the best cooling mattress was brought up, the Breeze mattresses were immediately suggested. The tipping point was medium comfort, which is good for everybody, and hybrid construction for maximum comfort and support.
The Best Mattress for Back Pain in 2025
Trying to sleep with back pain is extraordinarily difficult, so getting the 2025 best mattress for back pain is crucial. The Regalia Luxury Firm Mattress from Kluft is the ideal mattress for reducing back pain. Decadent materials, including ultra-plush horsehair, custom TerraPur™ latex, and luxury wool, provide the comfort needed for relieving excess pressure.
The Original Marshall pocket coil system features a pre-compressed, muslin-wrapped, slightly barreled coil spring, which—when nestled together—creates an independent suspension system for superior uplifting support. Revolutionizing comfort, the handcrafted quality of our proprietary pocket coil springs delivers full-body contouring support for unparalleled comfort. All these layers of support material make for an ideal comfort and support system to help alleviate back pain while sleeping.
The Best Pillowtop Mattress in 2025
The best pillow top mattress for 2025 is the Series 4 Plush Pillow Top from Beautyrest Black. This mattress is the standard by which all other pillowtop mattresses are measured. Its super comfy pillowtop will encourage you to drift off to sleep, while its patented T3 coil system supports you throughout the night.
When you think of a pillowtop mattress, you think of a super mushy bed that feels like sinking into a bean bag chair. Nothing could be farther from the truth when considering the C Class Plush Pillowtop. Our experts did their due diligence, and rest assured that this mattress is the absolute best pillow top model available today.
The 2025 Best Mattress for Kids & Teens
The Victor Medium from Serta is the 2025 best mattress for kids and teens. This is a traditional innerspring mattress that has a medium comfort level, which works for all types of growing bodies.
This mattress from Renovo features a comfortable inner core of foam that relieves pressure and aligns the spine for a restful sleeping experience. It will work great for kids of all ages. This is also economical for parents on a budget who need a high-quality mattress without breaking the bank.
The Softest Mattress of 2025
The softest mattress in 2025 is the Night Stars 5000 Luxe Top Plush Mattress from Aireloom. Choosing the softest mattress proved to be challenging for our mattress experts. A lot of options are soft, but which is the softest? There was the challenge!
The choice for the softest mattress came down to which one felt like sleeping on a cloud or a giant marshmallow. You can definitely sink into the Night Stars 5000 and get the plush comfort feel. For anyone who really prefers a super soft feeling surface, this is the mattress for you!
The Firmest Mattress of 2025
The firmest of the firm, almost like sleeping on the floor, the firmest mattress of 2025 is the Sentinel Ultra Firm Euro Top from Kingsdown. This bed is akin to sleeping on a large futon mattress on the floor, and it’s very, very firm. Anyone who prefers the firmest feeling surface to sleep on will love this mattress.
Gardner White’s mattress experts debated which really firm mattresses to choose for this list. The decision to go with the Sentinel Ultra Firm was based on customer feedback, the popularity of the model in terms of sales nationwide, and the construction materials used to make this model. The Sentinel Ultra Firm is the best firm mattress choice.
The Best New Technology Mattress of 2025
The bed with the greatest advancements in technology for 2025 is the ActiveBreeze Smart Bed from Tempur-Pedic. The Active Breeze features a dual-zone climate system that allows each sleep partner to control the temperature on their side of the bed. The Tempur-Ergo ProSmart Base uses specially designed fans to quietly circulate cool or warm air up through the mattress for the ultimate comfortable night’s sleep.
The ActiveBreeze mattress is a hybrid design that uses a dual-chambered air-distribution layer to evenly circulate cool or warm air pumped from the ProSmart base. Additionally, you can pair the ActiveBreeze bed with the Sleeptracker-AI app on your smartphone to learn more about your sleep quality, allowing you to personalize your sleep system more. Let’s also not forget that the ProSmart is an adjustable base that allows you to customize your sleep position for maximum comfort.
