Why we chose the Nectar Premier Hybrid: The best overall mattress on Amazon is the Nectar Premier. It’s a 13-inch thick mattress that’s a memory foam lover’s dream. It’s more responsive than the Nectar Original mattress, meaning it won’t be as dense and slow-moving. There’s no question it still feels like memory foam.
The Nectar Premier is available in an all-foam and hybrid construction. The hybrid version will give you more support and durability in the long run, especially for heavier people. You’ll also get a bit more bounce and airflow thanks to coils, although it sacrifices some motion isolation.
The Nectar Premier is around medium firmness. Any sleeping position can sleep comfortably on it. It’s an excellent choice for couples with different sleeping positions and who need a bed that accommodates both.

- Has a true memory foam feel

Why we chose the Tuft and Needle Hybrid: A hybrid bed contains foam and steel coils. This typically makes them more durable and more expensive, but not in this case. I think the Tuft and Needle Nod Hybrid is the best mattress to buy on Amazon that has a coil and foam construction.
Tuft and Needle are up there in popularity with Nectar, and the Nod is its Amazon-exclusive bed. The hybrid model is 10 inches thick and has a three-layer construction fit with 6-inch coils and two layers of foam. It’s a safe pick because it’s generally comfortable for any sleeping position or body type and is cheaper than most competitors.
A Tuft and Needle Nod Hybrid mattress in a queen size will usually run you around $999, but can sometimes be found on sale for less.

Pros
- Suitable for all sleeping positions
- It’s a cheap mattress option that supports all body types
Cons
- Might feel too soft for a heavy back or stomach sleeper

Why we chose the Lucid Memory Foam mattress: The Lucid 10-inch memory foam mattress on Amazon checks boxes for people who like the dense, hugging feel of memory foam and want to pay a minimum price. It’s one of the cheaper picks on our list next to the AmazonBasics mattress.
The primary comfort layer in this all-foam mattress is gel memory foam, which helps regulate temperature better than traditional memory foam. It also has a slow-responding feel that takes a few moments to respond to pressure and bounce back to normal. You get the slow, sinking feeling of memory foam with the Lucid mattress. Memory foam lovers of all sleeping positions can enjoy the Lucid 10-inch Memory Foam bed because it’s available in all firmness levels.

Pros
- Multiple firmness levels to choose from
- Accommodating for all sleeping positions
Cons
- Not ideal for people over 230 pounds in the long term

Why we chose the Awara Premier: Latex mattresses are a hot commodity on Amazon, as a few of our picks are sold out or nearly so. The Awara Premier is the premium version of one of our personal favorites, the Awara 10-inch Hybrid.
This one is 12 inches thick with 8-inch pocketed coils, four inches of latex foam and a natural wool and organic Euro-top. It looks and feels like a fancy mattress but has good value. Mattresses made with natural latex are hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and eco-friendly. Considering this and its strong hybrid construction, it could sell for over $1,650. A queen size goes for about $1,400 on Amazon.
Pros
- Its medium-firm feel makes it ideal for back, stomach and combo sleepers
- Good for all body types
- Made with sustainably sourced and green materials
Cons
- A little too firm for strict side sleepers
- It’s the most expensive bed on our list
