Wired Tested Over 100 Mattresses: Here Are the Best for 2026
After testing over 100 mattresses, Wired editors selected top performers including the Wolf Memory Foam Hybrid Premium Firm for couples, plus other standout models for various needs.
Wired has tested more than 100 mattresses and compiled a list of the best for 2026. The top pick for couples is the Wolf Memory Foam Hybrid Premium Firm mattress. This hybrid model offers a medium-firm feel (6.5 out of 10) with gel memory foam layers that provide pressure relief and spinal alignment. Its cooling cover and pocketed coils enhance airflow, making it suitable for hot sleepers. Prices range from $1,049 to $1,399, and it comes with a 101-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty.
Other recommended mattresses include the Helix Midnight Luxe, Leesa Sapira Chill, Bear Elite Hybrid, Nolah Evolution, Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Hybrid, Plank Firm Luxe, Birch Luxe Natural, Helix Kids, Bryte Balance Pro, Saatva Zenhaven, Casper Dream Hybrid, and DreamCloud Hybrid. Each was chosen for specific features like cooling, support, or eco-friendly materials.
Honorable mentions go to the Leesa Original Hybrid, which offers a bouncy feel and excellent edge support, and the Purple Mattress with its unique GelFlex grid that balances pressure relief and airflow. Both received praise but did not make the final cut.
