Old bed feeling more like a furnace? Take a look at the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress. It’s one of the more cooling mattresses on our roster, due to the phase-change materials (or PCM) and cooling technology in the construction. The PCM allows the bed to adapt to body heat, creating a more cool environment throughout the night, while cooling fibers also do their job to capture thermal energy.
Our Pick: Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress
The Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress has won many accolades from our sleep team, who’ve ranked it as one of the best mattresses for athletes, side sleepers, and those with back pain. It’s just that good. As a hybrid model, it hits the sweet spot between supportive and plush, plus you can choose between three firmness levels depending on your preference. For some added cooling power, upgrade to the Celliant-infused mattress cover, which is designed to convert body heat into infrared energy for faster recovery.
Our Pick: Plank Firm Mattress
Sometimes a super-soft mattress just doesn’t cut it, especially for stomach sleepers. Enter: Plank’s Firm Mattress. As its name suggests, this is a firm bed that’s as sturdy and solid as a plank of wood—in a good way. It’s so supportive, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) even gave it a stamp of endorsement. Another cool trick: This mattress is flippable, which aids in the bed’s versatility and overall durability. On one side, it has a 8 out of 10 firmness, but if you flip it over, you get a 9 out of 10, extra-firm feel.
Our Pick: Birch Natural Mattress
We’ve got a pick for the eco-conscious, too. The Birch Natural mattress is an organic latex bed that’s equally supportive, responsive, and cooling. Sustainably sourced materials, like Talalay latex, wool, and organic cotton, provide you with a more supportive and breathable place to rest than traditional memory foam. Side sleepers might consider the Birch Natural too firm; if this is you, add an optional pillow top layer for more cushion.
Our Pick: Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress
