Mattress Winners Selected
Each best list is put through a customized performance analysis with specialized consideration given to our objective & data-driven performance tests. In addition, we consider mattress type, design, materials, value, price, and more.
For our Best Hybrid Mattress list, we based our selections on the best-scoring mattresses, according to our battery of testing and formulaic-driven scoring.
Our tests analyze performance across 8 critical factors, including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company. In addition, we also test sinkage and bounce (though these are not scoring factors).
Our tests include objective and quantifiable data whenever possible. In addition, we use subjective assessment supported by data to round out our testing process.
Our scores are based on mathematical formulas and equations that utilize inputs from our data-driven testing.
In choosing the best hybrid mattresses, we looked at the totality of all of our tests, scores, data, and reviews to date. We analyzed this data alongside our established best mattress framework here.
When selecting the best hybrid mattress, we’re looking at a combination of overall scoring performance, firmness, and US availability.
To be included within this best-of list all mattresses:
- Had to have a firmness between 4-7 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. This ranges from soft to medium-firm and covers a wide range of sleeper preferences
- Had to have a performance of 9.24 or higher
- Had to be available within the USA
- Latex and latex hybrid mattresses were limited to the top 2 picks by score. Latex has a polarizing feel that some love and some hate. It’s a far more polarizing feel than poly foam or memory foam. See our best latex mattresses list for more.
Outliers that met the criteria above, but were still excluded for other reasons are listed below.

Luxury Pick
Helix Midnight Elite
9.21 Overall Score
With a performance score of 9.21 overall, the Elite has a slightly lower overall performance score but also a few advantages including over the Midnight Luxe—better cooling, better edge support, and more bounce. In addition, the Elite has 8.0″ of material above the pocketed support coils whereas the Luxe has only 5.0″ of material. For some sleepers, this can provide big pressure relief advantages.

- Fantastic edge support, only 3.25″ of sinkage at the edge
Quick Specs
- Thickness: 15″ thick

Our Verdict
The Nolah Evolution 15 is a 15″ hybrid mattress that uses comfort poly foams with a pocketed coil base for high-profile comfort and support, with a Euro top cover.
It offers a balanced feel with deep sinkage (14% deeper than average) and moderate bounce (10% less bounce than average). Despite the deep sinkage, this mattress still has a very fast material response time, and great cooling.
This mattress is available in three different firmnesses—soft (4), medium (5.5), and firm (8), where 10 is the most firm.
The Nolah Evolution has a performance score of 9.28 overall, which ranks it among the top 10% of all mattresses tested to date.

Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid
Best For
- Modern memory foam feel with a balance of contour and fast response
- Medium firmness with great pressure relief
Quick Specs
- Thickness: 12″ thick
- Cover: Thin, cooling cover
- Trial: 100-night trial
- Returns: Free returns
- Warranty: 20-year
Our Verdict
The Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid mattress is a 12″ tall hybrid with a thin, washable cover and a modern memory foam feel.
It has a 3″ top layer of memory foam, which provides hug and contour, while balanced by a pocketed coil base for limited heat retention and fast response.
This mattress is available in one firmness, 5 out of 10, which is a medium feel. For a softer feel, check out the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid.
This mattress has a fantastic performance score of 9.25 overall, which ranks as #1 for all memory foam hybrids and in the top 10% among all mattress types we’ve tested to date.
The AS3 hybrid mattress costs $1,499 for a queen, which is 3% higher than the average price for a hybrid, comparing all hybrids tested to date. The difference in a queen mattress is only $56, so fairly negligible, especially given its high performance.
I would recommend the Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid for sleepers who like the feel of memory foam, but also want improved cooling, more bounce, better sex performance, and great edge support.

Softer Feel
Amerisleep AS5
9.24 Overall Score
The Amerisleep AS5 shares many similarities with the AS3, but it also has a softer feel (3.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale). Despite the soft feel, it maintains great cooling, fast response, and excellent edge support. Pressure relief is also incredible. The AS5 Hybrid is arguably the best soft mattress I’ve tested to date, and one of my all-time favorites overall.
