Helix Sleep

Midnight Luxe Hybrid Mattress (14-Inch)

Use code LUXE25 at checkout to save on the best mattress we've ever tried. Out of the hundreds of options we tested, this strikes the best balance between features and price for most sleepers. Individually wrapped springs provide support and pressure relief, and six layers of cushioning mean it's cozy but not overly plush. Make sure you get deep-pocketed sheets to accommodate the 13-inch height.

The best hybrid mattress has a fabric cover that helps to wick away and disperse your body heat. If you're a hot sleeper, it can help alleviate your problems. And it can help with back pain as well thanks to its different types of coils arranged into three strategic zones. The pillow top can make the mattress feel softer than you might expect, so keep that in mind when you're choosing between the three firmness levels.

The best mattress for side sleepers has been a personal favorite among WIRED reviewers. It offers enough support to keep side sleepers' spines aligned without pushing things out of whack. This bed is bouncy and temperature-neutral, though you can pay a bit more for a cooling pillow top that will decrease the mattress's firmness.

CopperFlex Hybrid

This affordable mattress is even more accessibly priced for Labor Day. It's a little firm, but offers great contouring and pressure relief, and motion stays isolated. The bed also doesn't get too hot overnight. If you prefer a slightly softer bed, you might want to pair this one with a mattress topper.

S Performance Mattress

We quite like this inexpensive mattress. It's literally cool to the touch and therefore ideal for hot sleepers. And while you might think of cooling beds as being more suited to summer, they can also be nice in winter since they'll help prevent you from overheating under all those covers. It's available in three firmness levels—we think the softest would be too soft.

Our top firm pick for back pain is still fine for side sleepers. It's very firm, with five layers of foam and coils, so it might be a bit shocking at first. But the support will help prevent and possibly even alleviate sore spots and back pain, and it's a particularly good pick for couples where one person might crave additional support for their spine while sleeping. The phase change material helps keep you cool.

Bearaby

Second Skin Sheet Set

These bamboo sheets are a must-have, per resident sheets expert Nena Farrell. They're silky, soft, and cozy, with a supremely comfortable and lightweight drape. They'll make you feel sleepy right away and get even softer over time. We also like the color selection.

Quince

Premium Down Comforter

This is my favorite down comforter. I keep it on my bed as soon as it starts getting a little chilly out. It's fluffy and lofty, but still well-ventilated, and the construction of the baffle boxes and down-proof fabric means I'm never getting stabbed with a feather in my sleep. It feels very cloud-like and is available in three warmth levels.

Plush Organic Mattress Topper

Our favorite mattress topper is organic. It's made with cotton and latex, so it's soft but still slightly springy and supportive. It's nice and plush but won't turn your bed into something too squishy or cradling. While it doesn't have straps, it's heavy enough to stay put.
