The Leesa Studio mattress has three layers of memory foam, all encased below a comfortable knit cover: a responsive memory foam top layer that contours to your body, a middle comfort cooling layer with micro air capsules, and a bottom stability layer. Commerce editor Audrey Lee found the mattress ultra-supportive, noting that it has a nice amount of give without being too soft (you can read her full Leesa Studio Mattress review here). It complements just about any sleep style—stomach sleepers, back sleepers who like to spread-eagle, or side sleepers who switch sides throughout the night.

Though it’s certainly on the thinner side at six inches, this Linenspa innerspring mattress has the most five-star reviews of any mattress on this list, with a whopping 43,162. With its tempered steel coils encased in foam and a quilted cover, this pick remains better suited for those who like a firmer feel, but its thin size makes it ideal for a bunk bed, day bed, trundle, or even an RV if you’re looking for an upgrade while you camp. Plus it’s especially economical at a price tag of about $200. (You can also purchase the mattress with a platform bedframe.)
