Best Hybrid Mattress for Side Sleepers for 2024 [CNET]

If you’re a side sleeper, you want your mattress to relieve pressure while providing ample support. CNET’s sleep experts tested and ranked the best hybrid mattresses for side sleepers.

At CNET, we’ve spent hundreds of hours testing mattresses. With so many beds to test and so few spots on our list, we aren’t able to showcase every quality hybrid mattress for side sleepers. However, we do want to give a few more beds the honorable mention they deserve.

Allswell Luxe: Allswell is known for its affordability, and we found the Allswell Luxe to be both affordable and good for side sleepers. This hybrid mattress is below $400 in a queen size, and a twin is a little less than $290. Despite the low price, the Luxe feels like other mattresses on this list. It’s around a medium-firm and has a bouncy feel to it. The bed uses memory foam and coils to support and help alleviate pressure points.
