“We call it the drug bed because it’s like a drug and we don’t want to get out of bed! We have never experienced such comfort. We are sleeping so much better.” What the reviews say: “This was the best decision we made about our bed,” writes one reviewer. It comes in soft, medium and firm options, though we recommend the soft model for side sleepers, lightweight sleepers and those who prefer the feeling of a plush bed. (Although this mattress technically retails for $1,332, Brooklyn Bedding regularly offers sales that help bring the price down.) This mattress blends a base of nearly 1,000 individually-wrapped coils with two memory foam comfort layers: one layer to help relieve pressure around the shoulders and hips, and another, more responsive foam layer so you can switch positions easily. The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is one of our favorite affordable hybrid mattresses, and is a great choice for those searching for a soft bed under $1,000. Type: Hybrid | Firmness: Soft (3), medium (5) or firm (7) | Trial: 120 nights | Warranty: 10 years “ has helped get rid of pressure point pain in shoulders and hips, and it’s easy to sleep in any position.” What the reviews say: This model has a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews-customers consistently rave about how comfortable the bed is. “It is both supportive and soft at the same time,” writes one reviewer. Another added bonus is that this mattress is flexible enough that it’s compatible with adjustable bases. It’s also ultra-plush, with a rating of two on a firmness scale of one to 10 according to the company.

As a result, you’ll get individualized support along with comfort and cooling features. It has a layer of pressure-relieving memory foam that cushions your body while also adapting to movement, plus a proprietary transition layer that adds more support under your head, back and legs and extra cushion under your hips and shoulders.

The Amerisleep AS5 is crafted with foam that hugs you while you sleep, and designed to be more responsive than other foam mattresses.
