5-star average rating from 2,401 reviews at Leesa

This mattress from Leesa is a hybrid, which means it’s made with a combination of soft, contouring memory foam material and individually wrapped coil springs, which promote airflow and support, according to the brand. It has six individual layers, including a breathable cover at the top, a ventilated foam layer, a recovery layer and a responsive support layer closer to the bottom. It falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to firmness and comes with a 10-year warranty.

Helix Sunset Luxe Mattress

4.5-star average rating from 1,099 reviews at Helix

This mattress, which I featured in our round up of the best mattresses for back pain, is excellent for those looking for some relief. It has a soft feel but also has enough firmness to provide pressure point relief to the body and reduce pain, according to experts I spoke to. It’s also great for side sleepers in particular, because it helps properly support the lumbar spine (the lower back).

Nectar Gel Memory Foam Mattress

4.3-star average rating from 7,175 reviews on Amazon

This medium-firm mattress from Nectar is great for both back support and those looking for a more budget-friendly option. I also included this mattress in our guide to mattresses for back pain because it has a great amount of spinal support, cooling properties, firmness and motion transfer.

Brooklinen Percale Core Sheet Set

4.5-star average rating from 17,777 reviews at Brooklinen

This sheet set, which includes one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases, is the perfect choice for super hot sleepers. Their airy percale construction helps wick sweat and keep you cool while you sleep. They have a crisp and durable feel that softens and gets more flexible over time and after washes, and won’t pill, according to the brand. I regularly cover bedding and have slept in Brooklinen’s percale sheets and can attest to how cooling they are, especially as a hot sleeper.
