Mattress Brands Tested To Date
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 Memory Foam Mattress list, we based our selections on the best-scoring mattresses, according to our battery of testing and formula-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 memory foam 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 memory foam mattress, we’re looking at a combination of overall scoring performance, materials, and US availability.
To be included within this list, all mattresses:
- Had to be classified (by our testing parameters) as a memory foam or memory foam hybrid
- Had to have a performance score of 8.81 or higher.
- Had to be available for purchase within the USA.
- In addition to these inclusion rules, memory foam hybrids were limited to the best 4 performing hybrids by score, as memory foam hybrids oftentimes have better overall performance than traditional (all-foam) memory foam mattresses. However, all-foam memory foam mattresses have other benefits and we wanted our list to include top performing memory foam hybrids and all-foam memory foam models.

Glacier Apex
Best For
- Great value, 14% less expensive than the average memory foam hybrid
- Above-average performance in 6 out of 10 categories
- Exceptionally good pressure relief and edge support
Considerations
- Low bounce from memory foam is not the best for sex
- Slower material response, but not terrible
- The 14″ thickness may not match low-profile aesthetics
Our Verdict
The Glacier Apex is a 14.25″ memory foam hybrid mattress that incorporates two types of memory foam, followed by poly foam, transitioning into a pocketed coil unit. These foams feel modern and are effective at providing better cooling while maintaining great pressure relief.
Unsurprisingly for a memory foam mattress, the Apex has only moderate sinkage and low bounce.
The Glacier Apex has a single option for firmness, which is a medium-firm feel with a rating of 6 out of 10.
From our performance tests, the Apex emerged with the highest score of any memory foam mattress tested to date. At 9.27, its score is the #1 best memory foam hybrid and is within the top 6% of all mattress types.
A queen-size Apex mattress costs $1,399, which is 14% less than the average memory foam hybrid price, a savings of $228 on a queen mattress. Not only is the Glacier Apex the best-performing memory foam hybrid we’ve tested to date, but the price being less than average makes it feel like an absolute steal.

Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid
Best For
- Exceptionally low motion trasnfer
- Robust edge support for sitting and lying
- Excellent cooling performance
Considerations
- Somewhat slower material response, but still pretty fast
- Off-gassing time takes 8 days, longer duration than average
- Good sex performance, but not incredible
Our Verdict
The Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid is a 12″ memory foam hybrid that outperforms its all-foam counterpart as well as many mattresses on this list. It features a simple and high-quality 3″ memory foam atop an 8″ pocketed coil unit with a 1″ layer of support foam at the base.
The Amerisleep has a modern memory foam design, where we measured deeper sinkage and moderate bounce levels. While retaining a classic memory foam sensation, it also has better cooling and faster response time.
The AS3 Hybrid has a medium feel, with a firmness level of 5 out of 10. If you prefer a softer mattress, consider the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid, or for a firmer option, choose the Amerisleep AS2 all-foam mattress.
In our performance tests, the AS3 Hybrid has an overall score of 9.25, placing this mattress in the top 7% of all mattresses tested to date. If we look exclusively at memory foam hybrids, that score places it within the top 4%.
A queen AS3 Hybrid is $1,449, making it 11% less expensive than the average memory foam hybrid. Considering its high performance, the AS3 Hybrid is an exceptional value and a great choice overall.

Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid
Best For
- Fantastic for sex with extremely high levels of bounce
- Outstanding cooling performance (10/10)
- Super supportive edge for sitting and lying due to perimeter-reinforced foam
Considerations
- Much higher motion than most memory foam mattresses
- Only has 2.5″ of comfort material, which isn’t ideal for heavier people
- $99 return fee
Our Verdict
The Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid is an 11.5″ thick memory foam hybrid mattress with memory foam and pocketed coils. It has a balanced feel with a plush pillow-top cover.
It offers a minimal level of sinkage and an extremely high level of bounce, which gives it a very lively feel to its surface. You won’t have to worry about feeling overly enveloped or stuck in the mattress. This could be an especially attractive feel for back or stomach sleepers.
The mattress comes in a single firmness option that is a 6 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. This gives it a medium-firm feel.
The Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid has an overall performance score of 9.18, which ranks it among the top 10% of all mattresses tested to date.
At $1,699, it’s 4% more expensive than the average memory foam hybrid (with above-average performance), making it a solid value. After testing over 360+ mattresses, Saatva consistently performs at the higher end, and this model is no exception. If motion transfer isn’t a huge issue for you, then this is a fantastic mattress.

Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid
Best For
- Outstanding cooling performance, perfect 10/10 score
- Fantastic pressure relief with 7.0″ comfort layer
- Budget price, under $1K
Considerations
- Slightly slower material response time
- Low level of bounce (6.15″) makes sex worse
- $99 return fee
Our Verdict
The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is a 14.5” hybrid mattress made of a combination of poly foam, memory foam, pocketed coils, and support foam. It has a cooling cover that provides softness and helps to limit heat retention.
This mattress has moderate levels of sinkage and low levels of bounce. It has a balanced feel, but the transitional memory foam does keep motion and movement to a minimum.
The CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is available in a single firmness, 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and with a medium-firm feel.
In our performance tests, the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid earned an overall score of 8.97, making it the highest-ranking memory foam hybrid that also falls below $1,000. Looking at all mattresses tested to date, the CopperFlex Pro ranks in the top 24%, compared to the 360+ mattresses tested to date.
Priced at only $999 for a queen mattress, this is 39% less expensive than the average memory foam hybrid. For the best bang for your buck and a memory foam feel, the CopperFlex Pro is the mattress to beat.

Novosbed
Best For
- Extremely low motion transfer (2.66 m/s²)
- Excellent pressure relief and cooling
- Available in three firmness levels, good for a wide range of sleepers
Considerations
- Sex performance is hindered by low bounce
- Slightly slower material response time
- 10″ profile isn’t ideal for heavier people
Our Verdict
The Novosbed is a memory foam mattress with a little less comfort material compared to some models on this list, but also with fantastic performance nevertheless. With 4″ of memory foam (in 3 distinct layers), it manages to breathe well and has a relatively fast material response.
The mattress offers a high degree of contour and hug, albeit with only minimal sinkage. It also has a fairly low level of bounce.
One of the best features of a memory foam mattress in this price range is its availability in multiple firmnesses. The Novosbed comes in three firmness options —Soft (4), Medium-Firm (6), or Firm (8).
The Novosbed scored an 8.87 in our performance tests, which puts it within the top 30% compared to all mattress types we’ve tested to date.
While its performance may be a bit lacking in a few distinct areas, its price is hard to beat. At $999, the Novosbed is slightly cheaper than the average memory foam mattress and 32% less expensive than average, considering all mattress types tested. For those looking for a great memory foam mattress that doesn’t break the bank, this is it.

Dreamcloud Premier
Best For
- Fast material responsiveness, especially for memory foam
- Great pressure relief, with a 4.0″ comfort layer
- Long 365-night trial period + lifetime warranty
Considerations
- Worse sex performance, largely due to the lower bounce levels
- Cooling is decent, but certainly not the best that we’ve seen
- 13.5″ thick design may not work well for low-price aesthetics
Our Verdict
The DreamCloud Premier is a 13.50″ memory foam mattress made of memory foam, transitional poly foam, and a support foam base.
The DreamCloud Premier is available in a single firmness level — medium-firm, rating a 6 out of 10 on our firmness chart.
This mattress has moderate sinkage and low levels of bounce. For sleepers looking for a more traditional memory foam feel, this mattress hits the spot.
In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 8.83, ranking the mattress in the top 35% of all mattresses tested to date. Looking exclusively at memory foam mattresses, this mattress ranks among the top 14% of mattresses.
The DreamCloud Premier is $1,199 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 19% more expensive than the average memory foam mattress (costing an extra $189 for a queen mattress). If you’re on a tight budget, there may be lower-priced options, but given the higher performance, the DreamCloud Premier is a solid value.

Saatva Contour5
Best For
- Surprisingly fast material responsiveness
- Outstanding edge support for sitting, lying, and sex
- Exceptional pressure relief with an extra thick comfort layer (6.25″)
Considerations
- Higher motion transfer than most memory foam mattresses
- Sex will be more strenuous due to lower bounce
- More expensive than the other picks on this list
Our Verdict
The Saatva Contour5 is a 12.25″ memory foam mattress designed with high-quality memory foam, transitional poly foam, and support foam. This matterss ships via full service delivery (uncompressed, two guys set it up, and remove your old mattress). It also looks and feels like a true luxury mattress.
This mattress has minimal sinkage and a very low level of bounce. If you want to avoid a sinking feeling or are concerned about feeling trapped in the foam layers, the Contour5 could be the right choice for you.
The Contour5 is available in two firmness levels: medium-firm (6) and firm (8). The medium-firm option is generally more suitable for most sleepers, while the firm version may be a better option for heavier sleepers or those who sleep on their back or stomach.
From a performance standpoint, this mattress falls within the top 16% of all memory foam mattresses with a score of 8.82. Across all mattresses, it is within the top 36% based on all 360+ we’ve tested so far.
However, its price is another story. Saatva, with its white glove delivery, high-end materials, and premium branding, gives its mattresses a higher price. At $2,699, the Contour5 is quite a bit more than the average mattress and 166% more expensive than the average memory foam mattress.
Even so, if you have it within your budget, the Saatva Contour5 is a fantastic memory foam mattress choice.

Nectar Ultra
Best For
- Incredibly good cooling performance, especially for a memory foam mattress
- Motion transfer is well below average (7.06 m/s²)
- Ultra-thick (7.0″) comfort layer helps provide outstanding pressure relief
Considerations
- Very slow response time
- Back and stomach sleepers may find sinkage too extreme (3.06″)
- Good, but not great edge support
Our Verdict
The Nectar Ultra is an ultra-thick memory foam mattress made up of a 15″ combination of memory foam, poly foam, and support foam. It is a powerhouse for cooling and pressure relief performance.
It has extremely deep sinkage and very low levels of bounce, which give it a feeling of being cradled or enveloped by the memory foam. With a polarizing feel, it can also be quite challenging to move around, more so than any other mattress on this list.
The Nectar Ultra is only available in a medium firmness level, which is a 5 out of 10 rating on the firmness scale.
With a total score of 8.81, performance on the Nectar Ultra is mixed, but it’s still good enough to be within the top 19% of memory foam mattresses.
The price of a queen-size Nectar Ultra is $1,799, which is 77% more than the average memory foam mattress, costing sleepers an extra $783. All things considered, this mattress could still be well worth the money if deep sinkage, dramatic contour, outstanding cooling, medium firmness, and pressure relief are your top priorities.

Puffy Cloud
Best For
- Highly responsive surface
- Excellent pressure relief despite thin design (only 10″ thick)
- Low motion transfer
Considerations
- Strong smell that lasts much longer than average
- 10″ profile may not be suitable for heavier people
- Sitting edge support could be better (4.5″ of sitting sinkage)
Our Verdict
The Puffy Cloud is a 10″ memory foam mattress made of gel memory foam, transitional poly foam, and a support foam base. On top, they use a thin, breathable mesh cover that goes a long way to improve cooling.
The Puffy Cloud is available in a single firmness level — medium, which is a 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, where 10 is the most firm.
This mattress has deep sinkage and moderate levels of bounce, which creates a dramatic contour around the body while still being moderately easy to move around on.
Unlike other Puffy models that have thicker quilted covers, this thin cover keeps costs low and allows for the memory foam to form a more exacting hug, especially for deeper parts of the body. Furthermore, the 3-layer, all-foam design is a proven economic build that balances cost and performance.
In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 8.81, ranking the mattress in the top 19% of all memory foam (all-foam) mattresses tested to date.
The Puffy Cloud is $949 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 36% less than the average. When looking at only memory foam models, it is still 5% less expensive. All-in-all, the Puffy Cloud is affordable and performs excellently in most categories, with the one major downside of a long off-gassing duration.
