How We Test Our Products
Our team of sleep specialists have reviewed more than 500 mattresses, using proprietary analysis and hands-on testing to establish easy-to-understand scores.

Need help finding the right mattress?
The Nectar is an affordable all-foam mattress that offers lots of pressure relief and body contouring. It works well for most side sleepers, because it helps cushion shoulders and hips. It is also a good option for couples, because it isolates motion well. However, the Nectar mattress isnโt supportive enough for most stomach sleepers and heavyweight people.
The Leesa Original is a firm mattress made entirely of foam. Despite this construction, it earned a perfect cooling score from our testing team. It's a well-rounded bed, with scores of 4 or above in every key testing category. However, we'd recommend a more supportive model for stomach sleepers, and it won't be soft enough for people who want a plush bed.
The Brooklyn Bedding is a value-packed bed offered in multiple firmnesses. It was a solid performer across all testing parameters with one exception: cooling. Its pressure relief and motion isolation were standouts, and our team found it cozy no matter which sleeping position we tried.
The WinkBed is a versatile mattress that provides zoned support and cooling comfort for a fair price. This bedโs excellent responsiveness makes it a good fit for combination sleeper that want a bed thatโs easy to move around on.
The Loom & Leaf is a luxury memory foam mattress that delivers a subtle hug-like sensation. Upgraded lumbar support makes it ideal for back sleepers, and we were impressed by the bedโs outstanding motion isolation and responsiveness. While the former isnโt unusual for memory foam, ease of movement isnโt common for this material. The Loom & Leaf scored very well in our edge support tests โ also atypical for all-foam models โ making it a great option for couples who appreciate the feel of memory foam. Our only quibble? It wasnโt especially cool.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is offered in three firmness levels and features a durable hybrid construction. Our testers found that this mattress blends soft comfort with firm support to deliver quality pressure relief for sleepers. Those who sleep with a restless partner, may want to steer clear because of its subpar motion isolation, and despite having cooling in its name, this mattress didnโt blow us away in that category.
The Bear Original is an all-foam bed available at a budget-friendly price. It has a firm surface that felt best to us when we were lying on our backs. Although it received below-average scores for pressure relief, it's well-rounded otherwise.

It is also a good option for couples, because it isolates motion well. However, the Nectar mattress isnโt supportive enough for most stomach sleepers and heavyweight people.
This is one of the softest beds you can order from Helix, and according to our testers, it feels heavenly while youโre resting on your side. Its cushiony foams really cradle the hips and shoulders, while the springs beneath provide enough support for lightweight and average-weight side sleepers. Back and stomach sleepers should find something firmer.
The WinkBed is a versatile mattress that provides zoned support and cooling comfort for a fair price. This bedโs excellent responsiveness makes it a good fit for combination sleeper that want a bed thatโs easy to move around on.
The Leesa Sapira Chill is a cool, comfortable bed that pairs a plush pillow top with supportive zoned coils. Itโs available in three firmness options, so many sleepers should be able to choose a model that works for their sleeping position. This isnโt the cheapest option for a cooling mattress, though, but we'd consider it plenty worth it.
The Helix Midnight Luxe is a premium medium-firm mattress that offers a hotel-like feel for a relatively affordable price (when sales are available). Its zoned support and supportive coil layers make it a great option for back sleepers. The only element in which it scored below average was responsiveness, so if you like a super bouncy bed or youโre a restless combination sleeper, consider another model.
The Sunset Luxe is one of Helixโs softest options in its luxury hybrid collection. However, it provides plush pressure-relieving comfort while maintaining optimal spinal support for a variety of sleeper types. It also demonstrated excellent responsiveness, making it particularly great for couples and combination sleepers.
The Helix Midnight Elite is one of the brand's premium mattresses that has a soft, hotel quality feel, balancing comfort and support to maintain proper spinal alignment for back and side sleepers. It's a great fit for anyone looking for pressure relief without sacrificing the plush, comfort feel.

The Titan Plus Luxe is a medium-firm hybrid intended for heavyweight sleepers. We found its responsiveness a good match for combination sleepers, though back and stomach sleepers should also fare well, thanks to a notably lifted feel. We werenโt terribly impressed with the bedโs edge support or pressure relief, and weโd steer most side sleepers to models with more contouring. Those who prefer a firm feel and want a mattress engineered to support more weight should fare well.

The Saatva Solaire is a 13-inch adjustable model with 50 firmness settings, including dual-firmness options for queen sizes and larger. While thatโs ideal for couples with different firmness preferences, the Solaire came up short in our tests of responsiveness and motion isolation. This high-end mattress also stayed comfortably cool, but we canโt recommend it for combination sleepers or light sleepers who share the bed with restless sleepers.
The Saatva Rx mattress is a luxury bed designed with one mission: pressure relief. Its cushiony feel should cradle sore joints while its coils contribute to balanced support.

Our Expertโs Take
The Zonli Classic Futon Mattress has a thinner profile than many other folding beds on this list. Itโs 2.5 inches thick, which means it folds and rolls up quickly into a lightweight package. This thickness also means it feels quite firm, which can be beneficial for anyone seeking steady, even support or relief from back pain. Its memory foam core should keep it from feeling too floor-like as your guests sleep, meditate, or even practice yoga on its tufted surface.
What We Love About the Zonli Classic Futon Mattress
- The attached straps allow you to roll this lightweight futon mattress into a neat, storable shape.
- It comes in six colors, including fun ones like olive green and cinnamon.
- You can hand- or machine-wash it (though the brand recommends hand washing and laying it flat to dry).
What to Keep in Mind About the Zonli Classic Futon Mattress
- It will arrive at your door compressed, and may need up to 3 days to expand to its full thickness.
- It doesnโt come with a cover, so you may want to purchase one to protect it from dust and allergens.
Other User Reviews
This folding futon mattress has largely positive customer feedback, earning an average score of 4.9 out of 5 stars from 143 reviews on the Zonli website. Multiple people point out that its firmness helped with their or a partnerโs back pain. On the other hand, some complaints cite that itโs a bit too thin for comfort.

Our Expertโs Take
If youโre eyeing futon mattresses for their appealing minimalist design, but want the most modern option available, then we recommend the Airweave Japanese futon. Although its high price is often a deterrent for buyers, those who are committed to sleeping on a simple, foldable mattress canโt do much better than this one. Itโs made with a material called Airfiberยฎ, which the brand claims is extremely supportive and breathable. You can place it directly on the floor, on a frame, or even on top of an existing mattress to make the surface firmer and more bracing.
What We Love About the Airweave Japanese Futon
- Airfiberยฎ is mostly made ofโyou guessed itโair. This makes it much more breathable and cooling than traditional futon materials.
- The entire futon is washable and hypoallergenic.
- You can try sleeping on it for up to 90 days, then return it easily if itโs not a good fit.
What to Keep in Mind About the Airweave Japanese Futon
- A queen-size model of this folding mattress costs more than $2,000 before sales.
- Although returning the futon will get you a refund, the brand will also charge a $199 transportation fee and 15% recycling fee.
Other User Reviews
The Airweave has an impressive average of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 134 reviews on its site. Most customers seem pleased with the firmness and high quality of the futon; those who have qualms mention that despite their hopes, it wasnโt able to help them with their specific type of back pain.

Our Expertโs Take
This futon bed has a traditional shikibuton look and construction, meaning it mimics the Japanese beds that are often used nightly and folded away or aired out during the day. Furthermore, itโs made entirely of organic cotton (and organic cotton stuffing)โno synthetic fabrics at all. The cotton construction should mean it stays breathable and soft, but it does come with considerable care instructions.
What We Love About the Organic Futon Bed
- Depending on how much cushion youโd like to experience, you can choose between a 3- and 5-inch thickness for this futon. No matter what you choose, itโll have been handmade in San Francisco.
- Not many folding mattresses can say that theyโre made with just one key ingredient, and an organic one at that. The cotton inside this fold-up bed is pesticide-free and naturally cooling.
What to Keep in Mind About the Organic Futon Bed
- To prevent indentations from forming in the futon, it needs to be regularly flipped and rotated, as well as aired out. The Futon Shop also recommends placing it on a mat or pad rather than laying it on the floor.
- Handles are, well, handy to have on any bed that youโll be moving a lot, but adding them to this futon bed costs extraโ$90, to be exact.
Other User Reviews
This organic futon currently has 202 reviews on The Futon Shopโs website, and the vast majority awarded the bed a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Customers say that itโs helped with their back pain and that they appreciate the lack of synthetic materials. A few complaints mention that itโs a bit heavy and hard to move.

The Sweetnight is available in three sizes, but I want to focus on the queen-size mattress. It is 60โ wide and 80โ long and is generally larger than the majority of folding mattresses. You and your partnerโor your guestsโwill have plenty of room to stretch out and move around. Whatโs more, you shouldnโt be overheating on the Sweetnight: Its breathable cover and cooling infusions prevent it from trapping too much body heat.
What We Love About the Sweetnight Folding Mattress
- Not only does the foldable design of the Sweetnight make it convenient to transport, it also comes with a handy storage bag. This makes it a great option for those who plan on taking the Sweetnight on camping trips, or anyone who wants to pack it up and store it away in a guest room closet.
- The Sweetnight is made with a breathable mesh cover, cooling gel, and bamboo charcoal. These materials can improve the temperature regulation of the product, which is important because memory foam tends to trap heat.
What to Keep in Mind About the Sweetnight Folding Mattress
- According to some unhappy customers, the Sweetnight Folding Mattress may not fully expand when opened. One user reported that his mattress only even got as thick as 2.5โ, despite the company describing it as 4โ thick.
- Another common complaint amongst reviewers is that the zippers on the mattress cover were broken upon arrival. If the zippers are not functional you will not be able to access the inside of the mattress or remove the cover.
Other User Reviews

Our Expertโs Take
Folding mattresses are great affordable options for guest rooms and camping but, if youโre on a really tight budget, take a look at the Cozzzi. Even the largest model is under $200 at full price. But, donโt let the low price fool you. The Cozzzi is still a high-quality investment. It features high-density foam that is both durable and comfortable. The Cozzzi is also one of the firmest folding mattresses on this list. This makes it a great bed for back sleepers and stomach sleepers who are in need of some more support.
What We Love About the Cozzzi Trifold Foldable Mattress
- The Cozzzi has a firm feel that helps it stand out from the softer mattresses on this list. Because itโs on the firmer side, this folding mattress will likely be more appealing to back sleepers and lightweight stomach sleepers. Find more beds for stomach sleepers here.
- You might have some concerns about hygiene if your mattress is in direct contact with the floor, or you want to use it for different sets of guests in the future. However, the good news is that the Cozzzi has an easy-to-remove cover that is fully machine washable.
What to Keep in Mind About the Cozzzi Trifold Foldable Mattress
- Many of the 1-star reviews for the Cozzzi state that the folding mattress only expanded to a thickness of 2โ, despite the company claiming that it is 4โ thick. Upon further research, it seems that some of the Cozzziโs that are shipped do not have this problem, while others do. So, if you order you might be rolling the dice as to whether the product you receive is fully functional.
Other User Reviews
The Cozzzi has an average score of 4.3 out of 5 based on 1,651 ratings on Amazon. Users seem to appreciate the convenience and portability of the mattress, especially for camping. There are some, however, who were unhappy to find that the Cozzzi never fully expanded.

Our Expertโs Take
If you donโt want guests to sleep close to (or right on top of) the floor, youโll want to look at a high-quality folding cot like the Lucid Rollaway Folding Guest Bed. This steel-framed bed boasts springs that support a comfortable 4โ memory foam mattress. The mattress and bed fold together for quick storage and setup. The Lucidโs frame even features wheels that make it much easier to transport the bed from storage to your guestโs sleeping spot.
What We Love About the Lucid Rollaway Folding Guest Bed
- Where a traditional folding mattress on its own rests on the floor, the Lucid comes with a metal cot that provides elevation and support for the sleeper. This allows the mattress to still be portable and convenient, but also provide the feeling of a traditional sleep experience.
- The mattress and cot are easy to assemble and do not require the use of tools.
What to Keep in Mind About the Lucid Rollaway Folding Guest Bed
- As we mentioned in the cons above, while the addition of the cot will likely provide comfort and support, it also makes this mattress a little bit more difficult to store. It doesnโt take up much space, but it does take up more space than the other products on this list.
Other User Reviews
Based on 2,287 ratings on Amazon, the Lucid Rollaway Folding Guest Bed has an average score of 4.1 out of 5. Many of the 5-star reviews call out the cot as being comfortable and easy to assemble. As far as 1-star reviews go, quite a few of them describe the cot as being poorly manufactured and not providing enough support.
Latest Updates: In 2025, we expanded this list by researching and adding folding mattresses from Zonli, Airweave, and The Futon Shop. We also removed the Cushy Form Floor mattress because it became unavailable on Amazon.

FAQs
Are folding mattresses comfortable?
Folding mattresses can be very comfortable and are a good alternative to air mattresses. However, when compared to standard mattresses, they are thinner and rarely as comfortable. They should only be used for a short period of time, such as for guest visits and camping trips.
Can you fold a mattress with springs?
No, you cannot fold a mattress with springs. You should only fold a mattress that is designed to do so.
Does folding a mattress damage it?
If you fold a standard memory foam, hybrid, or innerspring mattress, you could damage it. Folding an actual folding mattress is, of course, fine. However, a standard mattress could lose its shape and warp if you try to fold it.
