Mattress price scale:

$ = Budget: $799 and below

$$ = Average: $800 to $1,699

These reflect MSRP or list prices. Sales might make a mattress less expensive, but are always changing.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature is a bed that accommodates all sleeping positions and body types. It’s an objectively comfortable mattress and the price is very reasonable. That’s why it’s earned the spot as best overall hybrid mattress. The Signature mattress isn’t flashy, but it’s a quality hybrid bed for an affordable price. The company manufactures its own beds, which may be why it can sell them for less.

The Layla Hybrid mattress has a lot to offer. It’s one of the handful of beds on the market that’s meant to be flipped; the Layla Hybrid has a different firmness level on each side to accommodate different kinds of sleepers. The soft side is perfect for just about any side sleeper looking for a cushy, comfy feel. But if you need a little more support, the firm side is the ideal firmness for heavier side sleepers who want some extra reinforcement for the back and spine.

The Saatva mattress has one of the most supportive, durable constructions I’ve seen in a hybrid mattress as it uses two different coil layers. In the base layer, there’s a system of extra-strength dual coils that’s essentially a coil inside a coil. This makes the bed ultra supportive and durable. Above that is a thin “Lumbar Zone Active Spinal Wire” that helps keep your spine in a neutral alignment. It’s a subtle but impressive feature. Don’t worry, you don’t actually feel wire in the bed.

If you’re dealing with back pain, the Amerisleep AS2 Hybrid is a great option. Designed for back or stomach sleepers, this medium-firm mattress helps maintain proper spinal alignment. Amerisleep uses a proprietary plant-based memory foam called Bio-Pur that contours to your body without any of that slow-sinking feeling and helps dissipate warmth, rather than trapping it and making you sweat. One of our team members suffering from back pain tried this bed and gave it her stamp of approval because it’s pressure relieving and promotes proper spinal alignment at the same time.

It has cooling technology that actually works, is offered in three different firmness levels for any sleeping position, contains over 1,000 pocketed coils in the base layer for maximum support, and has a very comfortable neutral-foam feel that’s more responsive and bouncy than memory foam.

You’ve probably heard of the retail giant Walmart, but what you may not be too familiar with is its bed-in-a-box line called Allswell. I’d argue that they’re some of the best cheap mattresses you can buy while still getting a quality product. They’re simple hybrid mattresses without any bells or whistles, but that’s what you want when you’re looking for an ultra affordable bed.

Other hybrid mattresses we’ve tested

The CNET Sleep editors have tested over 100 mattresses and put in countless hours trying out the industry’s most popular (and unpopular) beds. With so many to choose from, our lists omit a few well-qualified contenders. Here are other hybrid mattresses we’ve tested that were runner-ups when making this best hybrid mattress list. 

• : For side sleepers and plush-mattress lovers, the Puffy Lux mattress checks a lot of boxes. I compare it to a big supportive marshmallow. It’s made with memory foam, but it’s not as dense as a lot of popular memory foam beds. Instead, it’s light, airy and a little more responsive. This bed is ultra pressure-relieving, but you also get support from the steel coils in the foundation layer. 
• : Helix offers six base model mattresses that have a range of different firmness levels from soft to firm. You can take Helix’s Sleep Quiz to match you with the perfect mattress based on your sleeping position and other personal metrics. Each mattress is a hybrid with a responsive, soft foam feel that I anticipate most couples and solo sleepers will like. 
• Purple Hybrid mattress: The Purple Hybrid was on our best hybrid mattresses list, but it was recently discontinued. It’s been replaced with the new Purple Restore mattress.

How we test the best hybrid mattresses

During our years of testing mattresses, we’ve refined a process that focuses on a few key factors: firmness and feel; durability; and performance. We assess each bed with the average sleeper in mind. 

Firmness and feel

Firmness and feel are the first things we assess. They’re what help narrow down which beds are suitable for you. Think of firmness as how hard or soft the mattress is. Feel is where we get handsy with the mattresses. How does the bed bounce back when we move around on it? Does it have a traditional memory foam feel, or is it more like bouncy latex foam? Each bed’s firmness and feel are noted in our reviews.

Durability 

We can estimate the durability of a mattress based on what it’s made from. Pocketed coils help hybrid mattresses last longer than all-foam mattresses because they have more structure. All-foam mattresses are more susceptible to sagging. That’s why so many people opt to spend a little more and get a hybrid mattress. 

Edge support

When we say edge support, we’re talking about how strong the perimeter of the mattress is. The best hybrid mattresses tend to perform pretty well in this category. While testing, we lay on each edge of the bed to determine how sturdy it is. It doesn’t have good edge support if we feel like we might roll off. 

Motion isolation

Motion isolation is important for people with a partner who moves around at night. You of course don’t want that movement to wake you up. We jump and bounce on the bed to test how much movement travels across the bed. Additionally, we place a glass of water on the mattress and roll toward it to see if it tips over. 

Temperature

Sleeping hot is one of the most common annoyances people face. We look at the materials and construction of a mattress to assess how hot or cool the bed sleeps. Certain materials like gel memory foam and phase-changing covers can help keep you from heating up at night.

What to consider when shopping for a hybrid mattress

Finding your perfect hybrid mattress should come down to these key points: your dominant , your body type, relevant health conditions, mattress materials and your budget. The position you sleep in most during the night will help you determine your ideal . Your weight should help you determine whether you should opt for the extra support of a  or a regular foam mattress. Your budget will help you narrow down the beds you can and can’t afford. Lastly, different health conditions require different characteristics, and materials help determine whether or not you’ll find the bed comfortable.

Sleeping position

• Side sleepers typically sleep most comfortably on soft to medium mattresses because they relieve pressure from major joints like your hips and shoulders, rather than push into them. 
• Back and stomach sleepers need a bed on the opposite side of the spectrum, medium to firm, because they offer proper spinal support to prevent back pain. 
• Combination sleepers have two options: choose the firmness level that caters to their primary position or a medium firmness level that caters to all sleeping positions.

Body type

• People who weigh under 230 pounds have the option between foam and hybrid beds; it just depends on the amount of support you’re looking for. Those under 150 pounds, though, can skip hybrid beds all together if they want because they don’t need the extra support.
• I recommend hybrid beds to people over 230 pounds because they’ll last longer (this is important if you spend a lot of money on your new bed) and they’ll be much more supportive for the body. 

Health conditions

• Hot sleepers, women suffering from menopause or people experiencing hot flashes can find a cool-sleeping mattress that absorbs and redistributes heat, or offers a ton of airflow. 
• Those with arthritis or joint pain may want a soft, pressure-relieving mattress on the medium to soft side that cradles the hips and shoulders for maximum comfort. 
• People who suffer from back pain may sleep most comfortably on a medium-firm mattress profile. It offers ample support and pressure relief at the same time, to prevent the back from sagging and cradle pressure points. 

Materials

• Memory foam is known for its motion-isolating and pressure-relieving abilities. Some people also love the hugging feel. However, people who switch positions often can sometimes run into resistance since it’s so slow to respond to pressure. 
• Latex foam can be synthetic or natural/organic. Either way, it offers airflow, is more durable and supportive than most foam mattresses. On the other side of the token, natural latex can get expensive and they tend to be on the firm side. 
• Poly foam is a synthetic foam that bounces more than memory foam but is more soft than latex foam. Most comfy couch cushions are made with this foam. it’s breathable and affordable, but may not be as durable as other foams. 
• Coils or innersprings are made from steel and provide extra support and durability for mattresses. 

Budget

• The most affordable bed-in-a-box mattresses can go for a few hundred dollars. 
• Your typical bed-in-a-box mattress costs between $850 and $1,200. 
• Hotel luxury and premium mattresses typically cost over the $1,200 range. 

Best hybrid mattress FAQs

What is a hybrid mattress?

Like a hybrid car that fuses gas and electric, a hybrid mattress combines pocketed coils with comfy foam to give you a supportive but comfy sleeping surface that’s more comfortable to snuggle up to than the old traditional innerspring mattresses. 

How much do hybrid mattresses cost?

Hybrid mattresses come in a range of different costs. A basic hybrid mattress will cost around $1,300 before discounts, but there are plenty of options under $1,000 if you want a budget hybrid mattress. There are also luxury hybrid mattresses that cost $1,600 and up. 

Are hybrid mattresses any good?

Yes. A hybrid mattress offers additional support and durability than all-foam mattresses thanks to the steel innersprings or coils in the foundation layer, and more comfort than a traditional innerspring mattress. A foam bed will last you around six or seven years while a hybrid mattress can last 10 to 12 years.
