  1. Cooling Cover: The fabric layer you lie on. It is often a quilted or knit panel; breathable weaves help move heat and moisture away from the body, which is one input to how warm a bed sleeps.
  2. Comfort Layer: Softer foam or latex near the surface that contours around shoulders and hips. This is where most pressure relief comes from.
  3. Transition Layer: A slightly firmer layer that keeps heavier areas from sinking straight through to the coils and helps damp motion before it spreads.
  4. Core Support: Individually wrapped coils, usually framed by firmer edge material. Coils keep the spine aligned, let air circulate and largely determine edge support and long-term durability.

Understand

Your mattress shouldn’t be chosen by a star rating alone.

A star rating averages thousands of bodies, positions and preferences into one number. It can’t tell you whether a firm hybrid will hold a stomach sleeper level, or press into a side sleeper’s shoulder.

Fit depends on you. So we score each mattress against the way you sleep, not against everyone else.

One mattress. Two sleepers.

  1. Side sleeper48 out of 100Weak match
  2. Stomach sleeper75 out of 100Good match
Real v0.2 engine scores. Both sleepers weigh 170 lb, prefer a medium feel and sleep neutral; only position changes. At about 8.5/10 it sits above the side sleeper’s range (3–6/10) and inside the stomach sleeper’s range (6–9/10).

Three things move the answer more than anything else.

Your position sets the range.

Side sleepers need shoulders and hips to sink in; stomach sleepers need the hips held up. Each position gets its own comfort range on a 1–10 scale (here for 130–179 lb).

  • Side: 3 to 6 out of 10
  • Back: 5 to 8 out of 10
  • Stomach: 6 to 9 out of 10
  • Combination: 5 to 8 out of 10

Your body moves it.

More weight compresses the comfort layers further, so the range a side sleeper needs climbs with body weight.

  • Side sleeper, Under 130 lb: 2 to 5 out of 10
  • Side sleeper, 130–180 lb: 3 to 6 out of 10
  • Side sleeper, 180–230 lb: 5 to 8 out of 10
  • Side sleeper, 230 lb and over: 6 to 9 out of 10

Your temperature reweights it.

For a side sleeper, cooling counts for 14.2% of the score by default and 24.8% once you tell us you run warm.

Match

Your mattress should adapt to your sleep.

Change any answer and the top match changes with it. The 864 core profiles were scored ahead of time, and pain, edge and budget are scored as you choose them, all by the same v0.2 engine your full match uses. A sponsored placement is never shown here as a top match.

Strong match

Purple Restore Hybrid

Hybrid · about 5.5/10 firm

  • Its firmness (about 5.5/10) sits inside the 3–6/10 range that keeps a side sleeper at your weight aligned.
  • Strong pressure relief: at about 5.5/10 firmness, shoulders and hips can settle in rather than press against the surface. That matters most for side sleepers.
