Check out our top mattress ratings to find the best mattress brand to meet your needs.

The answer to each of these questions will affect the type of mattress that is best for you! There is no one mattress that is suitable for all of these options.

The Brooklyn Aurora mattress is an extremely cooling hybrid, and the best we have found for keeping you cool at night. It uses a lot of cooling technology and proprietary foam systems to earn it our top place as the best mattress for cooling. What are these innovations? The Brooklyn Aurora mattress consists of 6 layers, including the cover that allows your body heat to pass through it to the cooling layers below. Of the six layers three are proprietary:

TEnergex^TM: This is a proprietary open-textured foam, which feels like something between latex and memory foam (without the allergens of latex). It is extremely supportive while also cushioning your pressure points, and helps keep you cool.

TitanFlex^TM: TitanFlex is a hyperelastic foam that is more durable than latex, and so lasts much longer. It also has a cooling effect on your mattress and wicks moisture away from any area you are sweating it. So it keeps you cool by helping keep you dry.

TitanCool^TM: TitanCool is a proprietary phase change substance. It changes its phase from solid to liquid when it reaches a certain temperature (like ice melts to water), and that liquid can also absorb heat. It then evaporates the heat into the atmosphere, and then cools down again to a solid, ready to begin the cycle all over again.

These three substances can maintain the temperature of the mattress to an optimal 88 ^o F. The smooth weave cover allows this temperature drop to pass through to the sleeping surface of the mattress. The bottom 3 layers are a 1-inch memory foam layer, an 8-inch layer of individually encased 8" steel coils, and a 1-inch dense support layer for the springs.

7) Most Customizable Mattress: The Helix Mattress

Essential Information:

The Helix mattress is extremely customizable, with two options for each of Soft, Medium and Firm comfort levels. Each also has Standard and Luxe versions. There are also three special purpose mattresses available: Helix Nightfall for Plus sizes - large and tall, Helix Dual Balanced, with a soft feel on one side and firmer feel on the other for couples with different preferences and side sleeper support and pressure relief, and finally, Helix Dual Extra that also includes support and pressure relief for back and stomach sleepers.

The comfort foam is either a latex hybrid (ILD 10-20) that is reactive and cushions your body, or memory Foam Plus, a form of memory foam (ILD 10) that conforms to the shape of your body and cushions you for an amazingly refreshing sleep. The support layer is an ILD 20-55 high grade poly foam. You go through an online quiz so that the company can recommend the most suitable mattress to suit your specific needs. That's why we deem the Helix Mattress to be the most customizable.

Another reason is that you can use it with WinkBeds' optional cooling base. This is an active system using the company's coolControl ^TM that conditions and filters air through the mattress to maintain a regulated temperature. You can adjust the temperature each side of the mattress to suit the temperature preference of each individual. This is achieved by sending cool or warm air from the base up through the mattress.

• CertiPUR-US Certified
• OEKO-TEX Certified
• Made in the USA
• Thickness: 12".

The Dreamfoam Ipedic Sojourn 12" (formerly the Ultimate Dreams Supreme 12" Gel Memory Foam mattress) is an incredible mattress for the price. The reason for this is that it is a family owned company with lower manufacturing costs than the large better-known firms. The lower price does not come with lower quality, however, and this mattress definitely deserves its accolade of the best budget mattress for 2019.

1. It is constructed with a top layer of 1.5 inches of copper-infused memory foam. Normally, memory foam sleeps hot, but the copper conducts the heat which is then distributed throughout this layer resulting in a much cooler sleeping surface.
2. The second layer is 2.5 inches of a normal memory foam which offers a good level of support along with reduced pressure on your pressure points.
3. The third layer is a 2" transition layer of polyfoam that transitions between the memory foams and the firm high-density polyurethane foam base layer. This prevents you from suddenly hitting the firm layer - instead, it is a gentler transition.
4. The fourth layer is a polyfoam (polyurethane) base layer 6 inches thick. This provides a good level of support below the total 4 inches of memory foams.

The Dreamfoam Ipedic Sojourn 12" mattress contours beautifully to your body shape, while also providing the lower back support you need to maintain the natural shape of your spine. The copper-infused top layer makes sure you do not get too hot when enjoying this comfortable mattress.
