The 13.25-inch construction combines copper gel-infused foam, individually wrapped coils, and a GlacioTex Cooling Cover that feels cool to the touch. Testers praise its neutral foam feel, which provides responsive pressure relief without the sinking sensation of traditional memory foam. Available in three firmness levels—Soft (medium-soft, 3), Medium (5), and Firm (medium-firm, 7)—it suits a wide range of sleepers. The optional pillow top adds plushness for those seeking a softer feel. Its breathable coil layer promotes airflow, and the copper-infused foam helps dissipate heat, making it ideal for those who sweat at night.

Its medium-firm feel (6/10) features two layers of memory foam, a responsive transition foam, and a pocketed coil base for airflow. The standard Tencel cover is breathable, but the optional GlacioTex cooling cover ($200 upgrade) enhances temperature regulation with cool-to-the-touch fibers. Copper-infused foam further aids heat dissipation. Testers highlight its excellent motion isolation and pressure relief, making it ideal for side and back sleepers, particularly those with back pain.

Available in Plush (4), Medium (6), and Firm (7) firmness options, it caters to various preferences. Testers praise its high-end feel, comparing it to mattresses costing $4,000+, with excellent pressure relief for side sleepers and robust support for back pain sufferers. The organic cotton and Merino wool cover wicks moisture, and the ventilated foam layer enhances breathability. Despite average edge support, its cooling performance is top-tier, making it a great choice for hot sleepers seeking a premium experience. Best for: side sleepers, those wanting a luxury feel. Price (Queen): ~$2,099.
Nest Bedding Finch Latex Mattress	An organic latex hybrid, the Finch is Business Insider’s top pick for cooling, thanks to its natural breathability and heat dissipation. Its 10-inch construction features organic cotton, Merino wool, and Talalay latex, with a pocketed coil base. The wool and cotton cover wicks moisture, while the ventilated foam and latex layers promote airflow, resulting in some of the lowest temperature readings in testing. Available in Medium (5) and Firm (7), it suits most sleepers, particularly back and stomach sleepers. Testers note its responsive bounce and eco-friendly materials, including Greenguard Gold certification, ideal for allergy sufferers. It’s backed by a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty, offering great value for an organic mattress. Best for: eco-conscious hot sleepers, back/stomach sleepers. Price (Queen): ~$1,599.

The mattress includes a lumbar zone for spinal alignment, making it ideal for back pain sufferers. Testers praise its heat dissipation, noting it sleeps cooler than many hybrids due to minimal foam. Free white-glove delivery and setup add value, and its sturdy edge support suits couples.

Price (Queen): ~$1,795.

Rated medium-firm (6), it’s supportive for back and side sleepers but may lack edge support for heavier users.
