Best Mattress for Couples Video Review

Chosen by Experts and Advocates

Two people sharing a bed can lead to overheating, movements that disturb one another, and excess strain on your mattress as it has to support more weight. Our team of certified sleep science coaches has helped select the mattresses for couples to help combat such problems, as they perform well in the categories of motion isolation, temperature regulation, durability, or all three. To learn more, check out our review process.

Nerd’s Pick: DreamCloud Premier

Pros of the DreamCloud Premier

Very responsive

Great edge support

Cons of the DreamCloud Premier

Poor temperature regulation

The DreamCloud Premier earns our “Nerd’s Pick” award because it’s so versatile. Not only is it pressure-relieving and supportive, but it also works for all sleeping positions and body types. A luxurious tufted cashmere top gives you a “hotel bed” feeling, and the six-layer hybrid construction of memory foam and coils brings both comfort and durability to the table. It’s responsive due to the naturally hypoallergenic latex layer, which gives the mattress an extra level of bounce.

What our testers say: “The euro top, cashmere cover, and high profile all give the DreamCloud Premier a more luxurious feel.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the DreamCloud Premier

• Back sleepers–Average and lightweight back sleepers especially will love this mattress as it promotes proper spinal alignment to ensure a good night’s rest. Heavyweight sleepers may need something more supportive.
• Combination sleepers–The DreamCloud Premier’s responsiveness means you can easily toss and turn throughout the night without feeling like you’re sinking. 

Who Might Not Like the DreamCloud Premier

• Couples who are light sleepers–If you and your partner are easily woken up by movement, it’s possible that you might feel your partner moving on the other side of this mattress.
• Hot sleepers–Though the DreamCloud Premier is a hybrid mattress and is therefore more cooling than foam, there isn’t any targeted cooling technology, so be aware if you tend to wake up in a sweat.

Other User Reviews

Coming in at 4.5 out of 5 stars on DreamCloud’s site, the DreamCloud Premier receives a majority of positive reviews. Customers praise it for its comfortability while still being firm and ability to relieve pain. Negative reviews focus around people finding the bed either too soft or too firm for their specific needs.

Best Mattress for Side Sleepers: Helix Midnight Luxe

Pros of the Helix Midnight Luxe

Great for combination sleepers

Cooling features

Pressure relief for back pain

Cons of the Helix Midnight Luxe

Not budget friendly

Average motion isolation

The Helix Midnight Luxe is the best mattress for couples or co-sleepers who prefer sleeping on their sides. We noticed barely any pressure build-up along the sides of our testers, regardless of body type (lightweight, average-weight, and heavyweight). The Midnight Luxe does a decent job of isolating motion, which is important for those who share a bed. It earned high scores for durability, pressure relief, motion isolation, edge support, and temperature regulation. The hybrid construction has a medium-firm feel that caters to just about all sleeping positions—perfect for couples with different preferences.

What our testers say: “The Midnight Luxe offers great alignment to sleepers of all sizes. It also offers great pressure point relief for average-weight and heavyweight side sleepers.” – Becca, Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Helix Midnight Luxe

• Combination sleepers–If you’re someone who likes to move around and switch positions in the night, the Helix Midnight Luxe is a great option due to its responsiveness.
• Hot sleepers–Though topped with foam, this mattress has plenty of breathable layers to help it remain temperature-neutral for hot sleepers.

Who Might Not Like the Helix Midnight Luxe

• Budget shoppers–With the name “Luxe,” this bed is priced more like a luxury mattress, so be wary if you’re on a budget.
• Couples who are light sleepers–The Helix Midnight Luxe only has average motion transfer, so if you or your partner is a light sleeper, you’ll probably feel each other moving in bed.

Other User Reviews

On Helix’s website, the mattress scores 4.5 out of 5 stars. Negative reviews come mostly from side sleepers who found the mattress too firm and therefore uncomfortable for their tastes. Positive reviews cite pain relief, easy set-up, and overall comfort.

Best Memory Foam Mattress for Couples: Nectar Original Mattress

Pros of the Nectar

Good pressure relief

Great motion isolation

Cons of the Nectar

Not very cooling

Lacking edge support

Memory foam mattresses can usually be counted on to have solid motion isolation, and the Nectar is no exception. This performance factor creates “zones” in which motion waves get absorbed rather than being pushed across the surface of the bed. This means that your partner can toss and turn on their side while you sleep soundly on the other. As a medium-firm foam mattress, sleepers with different comfort preferences will experience both support and the comfort of a classic memory foam “hug.”

What our testers say: “During our testing, the Nectar did an excellent job of cutting down on motion transfer.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Nectar

• Couples who toss and turn–With stellar motion isolation, you won’t feel your partner moving during the night.
• Average-weight back and side sleepers–The Nectar offers just the right amount of support and pressure relief for average back and side sleepers.

Who Might Not Like the Nectar

• Hot sleepers–As an all-foam mattress with only some cooling gel, the Nectar can still tend to get quite hot.
• Those who need edge support–If you sleep on the edge or sit on it in order to get out of bed, you may find yourself sinking into the mattress.

Other User Reviews

With thousands of reviews on Nectar’s website, the Nectar mattress has an average 4.8 out of 5 stars. The majority of negative reviews found the bed too firm, too soft, or thought it started to sink too quickly. But positive reviews praise its comfort and cushioning ability.

Best Innerspring Mattress for Couples: WinkBed

Pros of the WinkBed

Cooling features

Durable for its price

Firm options give great bounce

Cons of the WinkBed

Below-average motion isolation

Not ideal for memory purists

Handmade to order in the USA, the WinkBed combines a comfort layer of gel-infused polyfoam, a cotton lumbar pad and lots of innersprings: a transitional layer of 2.5 inches of pocketed microcoils atop a base layer of 7.5 inches of even more pocketed coils. This layer gives the bed a responsive, springy yet conforming surface. For those couples who sleep hot, the WinkBed features a natural eucalyptus-derived Tencel cover (think cooling) and a Euro-pillow top with gel-infused foam (even more cooling). The WinkBed is a long-lasting, durable mattress at a nicer price point than other luxury beds with similar features.

What our testers say: “With some great features like temperature regulation, strong edge support, and responsive materials, as well as having a variety of firmnesses to choose from, the WinkBed will work well for a wide variety of sleepers.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the WinkBed

• Hot sleepers–A TENCEL cover and gel-infused memory foam add great cooling features to the WinkBed, making it great for hot sleepers.
• Combination sleepers–The firmer options of this bed are responsive enough to provide tossers and turners easier movement throughout the night.

Who Might Not Like the WinkBed

• Couples who are light sleepers–Though responsive enough for combination sleepers, the motion isolation isn’t the greatest on this bed, so you might feel each other moving around throughout the night.

Other User Reviews

On the WinkBeds site, the WinkBed earns a 4.8 out of 5 stars. Most negative reviews focus on problems with delivery and removal. But overall, people seem satisfied and consider the bed supportive and sturdy.

Pros of the Bear Elite Hybrid

Responsive and bouncy

Motion isolation

Cons of the Bear Elite Hybrid

Expensive for budget shoppers

If you and your partner are after a mattress that accommodates sexual activity, look no further than the Bear Hybrid. With a perfect ease-of-movement score of 5/5, moving around and switching positions on the Bear Hybrid is a breeze. The Bear Hybrid does a good job of regulating temperature, meaning you can stay cool while you work up a sweat. This mattress has a solid durability score, so if things get a bit intense you don’t need to worry too much about damaging the structural integrity of the bed.

What our testers say: “The best mattresses for sex are quiet, responsive, and cooling; and the Bear Elite is all three.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Bear Elite

• Hot sleepers–The Bear Elite has breathable coils and cooling foam to ensure that you stay cool throughout the night or throughout any bedroom activities.
• Combination sleepers–With amazing responsiveness, you should find it easy to move around on the bed while you sleep.

Who Might Not Like the Bear Elite

• Side sleepers–This bed might be too firm to cushion pressure points for those who sleep on their side.

Other User Reviews

According to Bear’s website, the Bear Elite scores about 4.5 out of 5 stars. Most negative reviews have customers saying the bed was either too firm or too soft for their personal preference, while others noticed the lack of edge support.

Best Budget Mattress: Emma Hybrid Comfort

Pros of the Emma Hybrid Comfort

Responsive

Good for combination, back, and stomach sleepers

Cons of the Emma Hybrid Comfort

Not the best pressure relief for lightweight sleepers

Not so great motion isolation

The Emma Hybrid Comfort can help you and your partner get a great night’s sleep at an affordable price, especially with current seasonal sales. Not only designed to help you sleep better, this mattress also scored perfectly on our ease-of-movement test, meaning you shouldn’t have any trouble switching positions during sex. It also comes with a generous 365-day trial period, so you can buy with peace of mind.

What our testers say: “The best mattresses for sex are quiet, responsive, and cooling. With that in mind, this mattress has everything you (and your partner) could ask for.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Hybrid Comfort

• Combination sleepers–The responsiveness that makes the Emma CliMax great for sex is also great for combination sleepers who need ease of motion as they change sleeping positions. 
• Back and stomach sleepers–With just the right amount of support for your back and hips, both stomach and back sleepers should sleep comfortable on this bed.

Who Might Not Like the Hybrid Comfort

• Lightweight sleepers–The Emma Hybrid Comfort may be too firm to provide pressure relief for lightweight sleepers, especially those who sleep on their side.
• Couples who sleep light–This is another bed with only average motion isolation that might not cut out all the movements of your partner on the other side of the mattress.

Other User Reviews

This is a new mattress, so Emma’s site doesn’t have many reviews yet, but early customers already rate it an impressive 5 out of 5 stars. So far, users rave about the mattress’ cooling abilities.

Nolah Evolution – Best Luxury Mattress for Couples

Pros of the Nolah Evolution

Cooling

Pressure relief for back and side sleepers

Great for lightweight sleepers

Cons of the Nolah Evolution

Expensive

Not great for heavyweight sleepers

The Nolah Evolution reminds us of the mattresses in five-star hotels: it’s tall (15”), has a plush pillow top, cooling foam layers, and a supportive coil system. The Evolution has a luxury price tag, but it works for all sleeping positions and body types, and it scored above average in every performance category. 

This bed is great for couples who sleep hot because of its cooling features. Couples who toss and turn should be thrilled with its motion solation. Nolah gives its customers 120 nights to try this bed out as well as a Lifetime warranty.

What our testers say: “If you’re looking for a cooling hybrid with a balanced feel of comfort, support, and hotel-like quality, the Nolah Evolution could be a great option for you. It’s definitely not the cheapest option out there, but you’ll get all the bells and whistles that you’d expect with a luxury mattress.” – Becca, Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Nolah Evolution

• Back and side sleepers–The many supportive and cushioning foam layers of the Nolah Evolution allow for comfortable pressure relief on the hips, shoulders, and lumbar region for those who sleep on their back and side.
• Hot sleepers–The bed’s breathable construction with graphite-infused foam and coils, combined with cooling fibers in the cover make for a great temperature-regulating option for hot sleepers.

Who Might Not Like the Nolah Evolution

• Budget shoppers–The Nolah Evolution is on the pricier side than its original counterpart, so if you’re looking for a deal, you may want to choose something else from our list.
• Heavyweight sleepers–The plush top of this mattress may be too soft and therefore unsupportive for heavier sleepers.

Other User Reviews

Earning a 4.9 out of 5 stars on Nolah’s website, the Nolah Evolution seems to be a hit. Negative reviews tend to focus on personal preference or regrets about ordering the wrong firmness. Overall, customers are satisfied with the feel and comfort. Many reported their aches and pains disappearing after making the switch to Nolah Evolution.

Best Mattress for Combination Sleepers: Brooklyn Bedding Sedona Elite

Pros of the Sedona Elite

Temperature regulation features

Great motion isolation

Great for back sleepers

Cons of the Sedona Elite

Not the best for stomach sleepers

Lacking edge support

Thanks to the Brooklyn Bedding Sedona’s layers of ultra-soft foam and contouring foam, sensitive areas are cradled, comforted, and supported. The Sedona does a great job of keeping couples cool with advanced temperature regulating features. If you’re easily awoken by your partner’s movements, the Sedona’s wonderful motion isolation should help with that. For these reasons, the Sedona makes for an excellent mattress option for combination sleepers.

What our testers say: “The Sedona Elite is also great for average-weight combination sleepers, so long as you don’t spend too much time sleeping on your stomach.” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Sedona Elite 

• Couples who are light sleepers–Even though the Sedona Elite has pretty good responsiveness, its foam top layer provides great motion isolation, so you won’t feel your partner moving as you try to sleep.
• Those with sensitive joints–This mattress’ expert cushioning abilities can help with pain relief from sensitive joints as it delicately cradles them while providing pressure relief.

Who Might Not Like the Sedona Elite

• Firm fans–This is a softer bed, so if you prefer something firm, look elsewhere, like our best firm mattresses.
• Stomach sleepers–Similar to the above point, stomach sleepers who need a firm bed to support their hips probably won’t find that in the Sedona Elite.

Other User Reviews

On Brooklyn’s website, the Sedona Elite ranks 4.8 out of 5 stars. Reviews are generally positive and complaints seem to be related to personal preference or comparisons with other Brooklyn Bedding mattresses.

Best Mattress for Heavy Couples: Saatva Solaire

Pros of the Saatva Solaire

Customizable air chamber

Responsive

Great motion isolation

Cons of the Saatva Solaire

Can be noisy when shifting firmness

Expensive

The Saatva Solaire includes layers of organic cotton, Talalay latex and gel-infused memory foam, plus a moisture barrier, vulcanized air chambers and a power edge enclosure. The Solaire remote-operated air chamber allows you 50 options for firmness that you can adjust with the touch of a button; lightweight, average-weight, and heavy sleepers will be able to find comfort and support in these 50 firmness options. While still at a high price point, this bed offers the latest in technological innovation for sleepers at a reasonable price point compared to similar mattresses, so everyone can access luxurious sleep,

What our testers say: “Rather than use low-quality, soft polyfoams along the mattress surface, Saatva instead incorporates Talalay latex, a material well-known for its resilience. ” – Loren, Lead Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Saatva Solaire

• Sleepers who want firm and soft–If you’re someone who needs different firmness on different nights, the Saatva Solaire’s customizable air chamber will allow you to set the firmness yourself for your specific needs.
• Couples who are light sleepers–With both great responsiveness and motion isolation, you probably won’t feel your partner on the other side of the mattress, allowing for uninterrupted sleep.

Who Might Not Like the Saatva Solaire

• Budget shoppers–As a luxury adjustable mattress, the Saatva Solaire runs a high price, though it is on the cheaper side for most adjustable air beds.
• Mattress purists–Similar to budget, if you’re not looking for anything fancy, check out our other options for the best mattresses for heavy sleepers.

Other User Reviews

On Saatva’s website, the reviews for the Saatva Solaire are overwhelmingly positive, coming in at 4.8 out of 5 stars. Customers praise both the delivery and the high quality of the bed. Negative reviews say that the beg can sag around the perimeter, while others say they don’t believe an adjustable mattress is for them. However, these reviews also cite amazing customer service from Saatva when it comes to returns and exchanges.

Best Cooling Mattress for Couples: Puffy Lux Hybrid

Pros of the Puffy Lux Hybrid

Cooling and breathable

Great motion isolation

Cons of the Puffy Lux Hybrid

Not the best option for heavyweight sleepers

Not a great fit for most stomach sleepers

Keeping cool at night can be a challenge, especially with an extra source of body heat in the bed. Thankfully, the Puffy Lux Hybrid provides breathability and temperature regulation to keep you and your partner comfortable. The motion isolation on the Puffy Lux Hybrid is superb, which is an important factor for couples that move around in their sleep. Its medium firmness is a great fit for most side-sleeping couples, but it likely won’t provide enough support for heavyweight back or stomach sleepers.

What our testers say: “This bed reminded me of a bean bag because of the sinking feeling I experienced when I sat down on it.” – Rachael, Editor & Mattress Tester

Who Might Like the Puffy Lux Hybrid

• Hot sleepers–Hybrid beds are already cooler than their all-foam counterparts, but the Puffy Lux Hybrid has extra features to ensure coolness, including aptly named Cooling Cloud Foam to create a breathable, cooling construction.
• Couples who are light sleepers–Especially on the softer side, this mattress’ great motion isolation should ensure that neither partner interrupts the other as you toss and turn.

Who Might Not Like the Puffy Lux Hybrid

• Heavyweight sleepers–This bed comes in at 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, so it’s too unsupportive for heavier folks, who might end up sinking into the mattress.

Other User Reviews

The Puffy Lux Hybrid boasts several 5 star reviews on its site from customers who credit the comfort of the mattress and its ease on their aches and pains for their high ratings.

Mattress Buyers Guide for Couples

Motion Isolation

If you change sleep positions throughout the night, toss and turn, or get out of bed, you’re creating motion that could wake up your partner. Many mattresses, particularly memory foam mattresses and natural latex mattresses are great for isolating motion because they reduce motion transfer and absorb the shock of movement. However, note that if a mattress is good at absorbing movement, it will be less responsive, which can impede motion during sex. It’ll be your decision which feature is most important.

Noise Reduction

Noise goes hand in hand with motion transfer. If movement is absorbed by the mattress, noise likely will be, too. Again, memory foam, because of its nature, will naturally make less noise than a hybrid mattress for example. If you are a noisy lover (in terms of movement) then memory foam or latex mattress will be better, but again, it’s less responsive nature will make necessary bounce more of a challenge.

Support and Durability

Support and durability are super-important for couples with different weights. Foam and latex mattresses take on more wear than hybrid mattresses that have the added support of inner coils. In addition, the inner steel coils can add firmness and therefore increase support to those who need it based on their sleeping position or chronic back and joint pain. Speaking of which, if you do suffer from chronic pain, we suggest you take a look at our best mattresses for back pain and best mattresses for hip pain.

Sex

As we stated above, it is a decision whether buoyancy is more important or noise reduction. You can make the final call about which feature is more important. Although, we will say we think regardless of your choice, your nocturnal activities will go on as scheduled.

Optionality 

There are some mattresses on the market—multiple options that we’ve reviewed—that are flippable. Typically, one side will be softer than the other, which can be a great option for couples whose firmness preferences change from time to time. When this happens, instead of buying a new mattress, you can just conveniently flip it over. If you’re wondering, “Is my mattress flippable?” you should probably check the company website. Also check out our Best Customizable Mattresses for more flexible options.

Size & Weight Limit

Queen and King size mattresses will likely be where you and your partner want to focus your search. Both offer enough space for the average couple, but of course the King will provide you with more room to spread out or toss and turn. With the extra space that the King provides, however, comes a higher price tag.

It’s important to keep in mind that most mattresses have a weight limit of 600 pounds, sometimes more in Queen- and King-size models. If you and your partner have a combined weight limit of over 600 pounds, it’s important to make sure your mattress can accommodate that without speeding up its wear. Check out our Best Mattress for Heavy Sleepers for more options.

 If you still cannot decide on which size will be best for you, take a look at our Queen vs. King mattress comparison.

Cooling

Mattresses typically absorb heat. For sleepers who experience high body heat, it can make for a sweaty, restless night. An innerspring mattress will transfer heat better than foams because of its open-cell construction. However, many newer foams have been engineered with temperature regulation technology to allow for better heat transfer. If you or your partner is a hot sleeper, you’ll want to choose one of our best cooling mattresses  whether it is a foam or hybrid mattress. 

Edge Support

Depending on what size mattress you’re on you might find that one or both of you end up spread out on the far reaches of the mattress surface, simply because you want a little bit of space from your partner. If this happens to you regularly, you’ll definitely want to look for a mattress with good edge support, as this will ensure a strong perimeter that will help keep it from dipping under your weight as you get further away from the center.

Pros & Cons of Mattress Types For Couples

Memory Foam Mattresses for Couples

Memory foam is a great option if good motion isolation and noise from movement is your concern. On the flip side, memory foam does poorly in responsiveness, which can impede movement during sex. It also has poor edge support compared to other types and some foams trap heat.

Latex Mattresses for Couples

Latex foams also isolate motion and reduce noise from movement. It is more responsive than memory foam and allows for better movement. But, like memory foam, latex can have poor edge support. For some great options, check out our list of the best latex mattresses.

Innerspring Mattresses for Couples

Innerspring mattresses are bouncy in a way that the other materials aren’t, making them great for couples who move around a lot. If it contains pocketed coils, an innerspring can also do a solid job isolating motion. Though they can get very noisy, especially as they age, so if you live in an apartment with thin walls or you live with children or another roommate, innerspring may not be the best bet.

Hybrid Mattresses for Couples

Hybrids also are good on motion isolation and noise since they are a combination of foam and coils. They are also very responsive, which can help for ease of movement during sex. Hybrid mattresses are noisier than memory foam and latex, but not quite as noisy as innerspring. To learn more, head over to our article on the best hybrid mattresses.
