SELF Certified Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid Mattress
Why It’s Worth It: The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid Mattress surpassed our reviewer’s expectations for creating cool, comfy sleep. Each mattress contains an eight-inch core of over 1,000 individually wrapped and zoned coils, as well as a top layer of contouring CopperFlex foam and cooling gel GlacioTex beads. Buyers can choose from three firmness levels for their mattress (soft, medium, and firm), which come with varying levels of elastic, cloud-like TitanFlex foam, gel swirl memory foam, and firm VariFlex foam. As a bonus, the Aurora comes in the widest range of sizes of our tested mattresses (including sizes for RVs).
Review: “There is no need for my old four-inch memory foam topper thanks to this new mattress. My sleep quality has improved and I have noticed that I don’t wake up as frequently in the middle of the night. If you’re also a side-sleeping, overheating, back-pain-complaining kind of person, then it’s definitely for you.” —SELF reviewer

SELF Certified Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress
Why It’s Worth It: Not to be confused with the Nova Hybrid, the Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress contains even more ergonomic zones filled with up to 78 cooling gel pods placed under the waist and lower back that offer additional support on top of the foam—a win for anyone with back pain, muscle aches, or who’s a back sleeper. Our reviewer praised how comfy the bed-in-a-box is and how supported their ankles, knees, hips, and lower back felt: “I was able to lay down on my back and feel perfectly satisfied—I didn’t have to shift around to find the perfect position.”
Review: “In my mind, the best kind of mattress melds into the background of your life, so much so that you never have to think about it: You just sleep deeply, refreshingly, and well. That’s what this Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress does. My partner and I just sleep better with it, so much so that we never even talk about mattresses anymore—the aches and pains that come with sleep just aren’t there anymore.” —SELF reviewer
