All of the mattresses on this list would suit your combined weight perfectly well. My go to pick for you and your partner would be the Winkbed - naplab.com/go/winkbed-mattress

7 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. Slightly firm feel.

@@NapLabReviewsthank you!!

@@jazzfreak5000 My pleasure!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that to our list of mattresses to test / review.

Indeed - overall performance is pretty solid, especially at this price point. Softness is always tough...as what's too soft for one person will be too firm for another. Based on the 290+ mattresses I've tested I found this to be a pretty typical medium-firm feel.

Thank you! 😄

A memory foam mattress called Loom and Leaf - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/loom-leaf-review/ I've been using it as my personal mattress since 2017.

The feel is similar, given that they are both natural latex hybrids with a transitional poly foam layer. However, the Owl is slightly higher performance due to its better pressure relief and better cooling.

@ thank you very much!

@@kayleyh8591 My pleasure!

Oh love the review. My question is would be a different feel with the hybrid version vs the all form version?

They are similar, but the Cooling Select is a new and different model.

@@NapLabReviews Is the Cooling Select better? Does it actually sleep cooler?

@@kendarcie6613 No, I don't think so (but that's just a guess as I haven't tested the all foam Cooling Select). However, I have tested the Cooling Select Hybrid, which is modestly better in terms of cooling. You can see how the Casper Select and Casper Cooling Select compare here - naplab.com/tools/side-by-side-mattress-comparison-tool/?_mattress_name_dropdown=casper-cooling-select%2Ccasper-select

I don't believe they have changed the design. In my view, Nest Bedding's assessment of the firmness is simply wrong. If you want a firm feel I am afraid your daughter would simply find this far too soft. Take a look at the Plank Firm Natural - naplab.com/go/plank-firm-natural-mattress This sounds more like what you're looking for.

Thanks very much! We had a lot of fun shooting the intro and our editor did an amazing job.

You can find our SleepOnLatex review here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/sleeponlatex-review/ We'll be testing EarthFoam early in 2025!

@@NapLabReviewsamazing! I bought one and have been loving it. However, I did add a 3” topper. I was surprised to see the relatively low rating!

@@megansuter3911 Nice! I'm glad to hear it's working out well for you.

Based on my reading of their return policy, it seems that Zinus pays for someone to pickup the mattress. So there is no charge for the customer. It's only if you had them take your old mattress and/or box spring + you file for a return that they will then charge you $75. www.zinus.com/pages/support?a=What-is-Zinus%27-return-policy---id--AEKGv37rRn-p3YtNgU8D_g

That's interesting. It's quite rare for someone with a lighter weighted body to experience the Purple as too soft. Usually it's the other way around. In any case, it sounds to me like we need to get you something with a slightly firmer feel and less sinkage. Take a look at the following mattresses, I think they could all be a good fit for you: Birch - naplab.com/go/birch-mattress Bear Elite (firm version) - naplab.com/go/bear-elite-hybrid-mattress Winkbed (firm version - naplab.com/go/winkbed-mattress

No, not any more at least (my wife and I did for the first 120 I tested). Our new sex testing methodology uses a more objective protocol. Our sex score is a simple equation where we look at 5 different factors. Each factor is given a specific weight based on how important we think that factor is for most people. We test for bounce, edge support, cooling, pressure relief, and noise. You can see our specific testing process here - naplab.com/how-we-test-mattresses/#h-sex

My pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful 😄

Sinkage is a measure of how far the body compresses or "sinks" into the mattress. In general, mattresses with more sinkage are softer and mattresses with less sinkage are firmer. However, it's not an absolute rule. There are mattresses that allow for more sinkage, but then have a harder, firmer support layer of coils and/or foam. As a result, the body is able to sink down more easily through the top layers and hit a firmer set of layers. More sinkage doesn't necessarily mean a mattress is hotter, but in general, it is true that the more foams wrap around the body the warmer the feeling can be. Here, it really depends on the quality of the foams, design of the mattress, type of foams, and any cooling materials within the cover. That will dictate how cool / hot the mattress will be.

Nice! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so much!

@NapLabReviews Thanks. Solid review, spot on. 5*

@@EVCalgary Thank you!

Indeed! I'm glad you found it interesting. You might also be interested to know that based on our on-going sleeper priority survey (27,000+ responses), sex is the 5th biggest priority for sleepers and 27% of people say it is an important feature on the mattress.

Yep! I'm still here. The weight is for individual sleepers. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

@NapLabReviews awesome. Do you have any thoughts on the tempur pedic that costco sales. I've seen a ton of mixed reviews on it all over. Don't know what's reliable or not

@@AdnanJeilani-g1n You can find my full review of the Tempurpedic Supreme (this is the model Costco sells) here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/tempurpedic-supreme-review/

Is it better, yes, absolutely. Is it significantly better, no, I don't think so. Even so, for a difference of just $200 I think it's worth the extra cost given the performance increase, but depending on your finances it may not be worth it for you. You can see how the two compare here - naplab.com/tools/side-by-side-mattress-comparison-tool/?_mattress_name_dropdown=douglas%2Cdouglas-alpine

Yep...it is honestly just insane to me that Tempurpedic is as expensive as it is and yet they are still trying to save themselves a few bucks by using fiberglass.

@ crazy , although I assume it’s a lot less bad than the examples we see here . They know ppl who can afford a 4k mattress can afford to sue them

Functionally? I would guess there is virtually no difference. The extra 2" of foam is going to be on the bottom of the mattress, so it's just a firm support foam. It's not likely to significant impact the comfort or performance compared to the 12" version.

@ Thank you so much!

@@SoFloGal12 My pleasure!

Leesa Legend and Helix Midnight Luxe are very similar in terms of performance. You can see a side by side comparison here - naplab.com/tools/side-by-side-mattress-comparison-tool/?_mattress_name_dropdown=helix-midnight-luxe%2Cleesa-legend As far as I am aware, the Leesa Legend at Costco is not the same Leesa Legend on Leesa.com. In addition, we tested the Leesa Legend from Leesa.com, not Costco. As a result, I don't expect our performance findings for the Leesa Legend would match the Leesa Legend from Costco.com. Regarding zoning - my feeling is that it shouldn't be a major issue, but admittedly it's hard to say. Over the years I've had sleepers of all body weights and all weights reach out to me with both complaints and love for zoning. Some love the zoning, some hate it. But in any case, there doesn't seem to be any clear pattern on which sleepers will love / hate it. It really seems to be more personal preference than anything. All that said, a majority of sleepers seem to be unbothered by it or like the zonal support.

I wouldn't say the quality of the Helix Midnight Luxe declined, but the material layered design did change slightly, which did negatively impact performance slightly. The Midnight Luxe went from being a ranked #10 overall to being ranked #31 overall (out of 280+ mattresses). That still makes it an amazingly good mattress, but also one that lost some ground with this redesign. Regarding Leesa Legend - As far as I am aware, the Leesa Legend at Costco is not the same Leesa Legend on Leesa.com. In addition, we tested the Leesa Legend from Leesa.com, not Costco. As a result, I don't expect our performance findings for the Leesa Legend would match the Leesa Legend from Costco.com.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can definitely add that one to our list to try and review in the future.

@NapLabReviews awesome thank you

@@whoaitswes My pleasure!

It's the Floyd with the headboard - floydhome.com/products/the-bed-frame?variant=36971988156578 Great frame. We've of course got one in the studio for testing, but I also bought one 2 years ago for personal years. Really been impressed and happy with both. The one in the studio has proven to be extremely durable. I've been testing on it since 2021 and it gets moved around a ton, mattresses dropped on it, etc. and it's holding up really well. It's already taken way more damage than any normal use frame would have to take.

Here are several options that will give you a feel / firmness softer than that of the Casper Dream. Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid - naplab.com/go/amerisleep-as3-hybrid-mattress Leesa Legend - naplab.com/go/leesa-legend-mattress Nolah Signature - naplab.com/go/nolah-signature-mattress

Thanks for sharing your experience (though I'm sorry to hear it went so poorly).

Yes, it is still the #1 scoring mattress we've tested. All scores on NapLab.com have been updated. You can see the complete ranked list here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/

In general, you're right, mattresses with more foam sleep cooler than those with less foam. However, what you're not factoring in is: 1) quality of foams 2) phase change cooling materials in the cover Ghostbed's foam quality is massively better than Sealy's Carver. In addition, the cooling materials within Ghostbed's cover give it a noticeable cool-to-the-touch feel. Sealy Carver has no such cover. When combined with the foam quality issues and lack of airflow it becomes a warmer mattress compared to Ghostbed.

@@NapLabReviews Thank you. Also, I heard something that you are related, or were related to one of the mattress makers? What are your affiliations?

@@kendarcie6613 Related? No, not that I am aware of. I am the only member of my immediate and extended family that anything to do with the mattress industry (as far as I am aware).

@@NapLabReviews haha, I think you know what I mean.... financially related directly or indirectly? For instance, I see you praising Ghostbeds and hear you get some sort of money from them.

@@kendarcie6613 Oh I see, sorry that I misunderstood you. Yes, we use referral links for mattresses that we test and review (including Ghostbed). Virtually every mattress we test / review has referral links and we use those to financially support our work so that my small team and I can do this work full time. NapLab is a business. In order to pay for our operational expenses and allow the NapLab team to earn a living NapLab.com uses referral links. When you use our links to purchase a product or service NapLab may earn a referral commission. These referral links don’t cost you anything extra. They simply tell the respective company that you came from NapLab.com. These referral links financially support NapLab and let us keep doing what we do best, creating great reviews. Our referral links may influence the products we review and write about (in addition to where those products appear on NapLab). Our referral links do not affect our scores, which are based on our testing and scoring process. Companies don’t pay us to review their products and they cannot pay us to rank or score them highly. In addition, we don't do any type of sponsored content, pay to play content, pay for score, pay for ranking, pay for placement, or anything of the sort. You can see more about how we make money here - naplab.com/about/#how-we-make-money - as well as a complete list of every brand that's sent us free mattresses for testing + the brands we have / don't have referral links for.

My pleasure. I'm glad it was helpful. Out of curiosity, what was their response regarding fiberglass? The last time I emailed them they gave me a clear answer that "no" they don't use fiberglass (though they did previously).

Yes, that's it exactly. Materials that aren't glued together (which is what almost all other mattress brands do) are simply going to move around more and not feel as well connected or cohesive.

The short answer is no. However, all foam mattresses, especially those with more traditionally formulated memory foam, do retain heat and therefore sleep warmer. That said, many other types of all foam mattresses sleep notably cooler. Those with modern memory foam, poly foam, and latex, specifically. Also, foams of a higher quality breathe better and retain less heat. Lastly, more expensive mattresses are able to include more advanced cooling covers, which also help to increase cooling performance. Our list here - naplab.com/best-mattress/best-mattress-for-cooling/ - has a ton of high performance, cooler mattresses that you'll likely find better suited to your needs.

No particular reason, it's just a model we haven't been able to get to yet. I can definitely add it to our list though. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@NapLabReviews The iflip is a very popular costco mattress

I hadn't heard that, but it does seem possible. I see that on an old version of the page it said it was Talalay, but the new version doesn't mention anything. That would seem to indicate that something about the latex changed. 2020 version - web.archive.org/web/20210604014030/www.saatva.com/mattresses/saatva-latex-hybrid While in general I do think the Talalaly is better for comfort layers, it doesn't mean that no side sleepers will like the mattress. Honestly, it's just impossible for me to say for sure without confirming what changed and then testing the mattress if there have been changing. I'll put this back into my testing queue and see if we can get a new test out. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

In April of 2024 we updated our scoring system from version 1.1 to 1.2. These changes impacted every score on site, with all scores going down, as it is more difficult to score the highest scores with our 1.2 system. This page has a complete breakdown of all of our changes - naplab.com/how-we-test-mattresses/explaining-our-2024-updates/ When we made these updates we were able to update all of our scores on NapLab.com to the new 1.2 scoring system. However, videos on our TH-cam channel published prior to the score updates we weren’t able to update, so those videos have the original 1.1 scores. You can always find the current and most up-to-date scores here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/

It has a zipper, but it's not washable. It is spot clean only.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure that model gets added to our lists.

DreamCloud is a good option for growing kids, but there are numerous other good options as well. In my view, it makes the most sense to go with more budget-friendly / vaulted-oriented mattresses designed for adults. In general, I avoid "kid" mattresses, as they typically thinner and not made to the same durability standards as an adult mattress. An adult mattress will last through the toddler, kid, and teenage years without issue. To that end, I would recommend any of the mattresses on this list - naplab.com/best-mattress/best-affordable-mattress/

I just watched your other kid mattress reviews and I don't want a traditional "kids" mattress because I want it for longevity

@@penelopemedley Yep, I agree. Don't buy a kids mattress. Buy an adult mattress. One of the models listed here would work great for you. naplab.com/best-mattress/best-affordable-mattress/
