Top pick for this profile

Helix Plus

Match score 85 out of 100, Strong match.

Strong match for a side sleeper: strongest on support & alignment and cooling.

3 points ahead of Purple Restore Hybrid (82).

Why it fits this profile

  • Its firmness (about 7/10) sits inside the 5–8/10 range that keeps a side sleeper at your weight aligned.
  • Independent reviewers rate its cooling 8/10, which matters because you sleep hot.
  • Strong pressure relief: at about 7/10 firmness, shoulders and hips can settle in rather than press against the surface. That matters most for side sleepers.

Criteria

How these were ranked.

The same rules score every mattress. This profile changes how much each dimension counts. Full detail is in the methodology.

Cooling and motion pull in different directions

Cooling and motion isolation both count double for this profile. Coils move air but can pass movement along, so the engine flags a mattress that is likely to transfer motion.

Hybrid is a filter

Other construction types are left out before scoring. Your own match can include every type.
