The Best Memory Foam Mattress of 2024
The ProAdapt Medium mattress from Tempur-Pedic has earned the distinction of being the best memory foam mattress of 2024. 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 2024
Stearns & Foster earned the best innerspring mattress of 2024 with the Lux Estate Tight Top Mattress. The new addition this year is that TEMPUR-Indulge foam is included. 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 2024 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 2024
The best hybrid mattress of 2024 is the Allure Medium Hybrid from Cindy Crawford Home. Per Cindy herself, “Great style is timeless. This new collection is designed to inspire, help create a look that’s fresh, and provide lasting comfort for years.” Our mattress experts were highly impressed with this model when selecting this year’s best hybrid bed.
100% Gel Infused Foam provides maximum comfort with the added benefit of wicking away heat from the body for a cooler, more restful, deeper sleep throughout the night. The cover for this mattress also includes REPREVE® technology, which recycles plastic bottles out of the ocean into cooling fibers. The V-Coil is also a great innovation because it’s the best design for support. Plus, it’s 38% more bendable when combined with an adjustable base!
The 2024 Best Mattress for Back Sleepers
The Testimony Medium Mattress from Sealy Posturepedic is the best mattress for back sleepers in 2024. The fact that Sealy has reinforced the center third of the mattress won our mattress experts over in selecting this year’s best bed for back sleepers. If you sleep on your back primarily, this mattress is ideal for you to sleep on.
The combination of Posturepedic Technology, the Response Pro Encased Coil System, and the comfort foams in this mattress are unbeatable for back sleepers. Sealy Posturepedic technology is one of the longest and most trusted support systems in the industry. All back sleepers will find the Testimony Medium mattress to be the most comfortable and supportive bed to sleep on for many years to come.
The 2024 Best Mattress for Side Sleepers
The 2024 best mattress for side sleepers is the Harmony Driftwood Bay Plush Hybrid from Beautyrest. Side sleepers need extra support and comfort for their hips and shoulders while they lay on a bed. You’ll get this from the Driftwood Bay with Beautyrest’s famous pocketed coils and Precision Support System.
Our mattress experts were challenged when testing mattresses for side sleepers, a group of people who have more support needs than anyone else. The Driftwood Bay Plush Hybrid mattress outperformed all other models. Regardless of your body size, if you’re a side sleeper, your best option is this 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 Mattress with the Best Sustainability for 2024
A new category for the Best Mattresses of the Year, our mattress experts could not ignore all the effort Serta put into creating a bed made with materials up to 70% sustainable. The all-new iComfrtECO S15GL Hybrid Mattress earned this distinction with materials made with recycled plastics and fully sustainable plant-based materials. If eco-friendly products are essential to you, like they are for Gardner White, this mattress is an ideal choice!
The CoolTemp Cover is made using REPREVE® technology, which recycles plastic bottles out of the ocean and turns them into cooling fabrics for bedding. The coils in this hybrid mattress are made with 85% recycled steel, and the Terra Fusion Memory Foam incorporates up to 30% plant-based materials.
