Ashley Mattress Reviews

When I lined up these Ashley Mattress models in our test studio, the mix felt familiar. This brand shows up in big-box aisles, on Amazon pages, in local furniture stores, under all kinds of lighting and sales banners. People bump into Ashley long before they ever Google boutique mattress brands.

In my view, that kind of reach needs some honest pressure. Our crew spent weeks rotating through five mainstream Ashley mattress designs, from the all-foam Chime 12 to the plusher Gruve and Mt Dana hybrids. I kept chasing one simple question during those nights: how far can these value-driven beds really go for real bodies with real sleep issues.

From the perspective of a working reviewer, the team mix matters almost as much as the foam recipe. I, Chris Miller, move between back and side, with a stubborn lower back that complains after long desk days. Marcus brings a heavier frame and runs hot. Mia protects her shoulders like they owe her money. Jenna keeps one eye on partner motion every night. Jamal drops in for bounce checks and edge-sitting drills. That kind of rotating cast gave these Ashley mattress reviews some messy, useful context.

Testing Team Takeaways

From my perspective, this group of Ashley Mattress models behaves like a ladder of complexity. The Chime foam mattress sits near the bottom rung on price, yet still handled my lower-back issues better than I expected. When I lay on my back after long writing days, my hips sank just far enough for the foam to level my spine. During side-sleep stretches, that same foam wrapped my shoulders in a slow, gradual hug, although heat built up a bit during summer-like thermostat experiments.

Marcus came in with different demands. Under his heavier frame, the Chime 12 foam compressed fast during the first hour, then settled into a flatter plane. He kept saying, “I need the coils to push back under my hips,” which pushed him toward the Chime 10 Hybrid and the Anniversary pillow top. On the Chime Hybrid, he could sit on the edge to tie shoes without sliding off, and he liked the stronger pushback around his lower back. Heat still sat under his torso during long nights, but less than on the all-foam bed, thanks to the coil cavity beneath the gel foam layer. 

Mia’s nights looked different again. Her lighter frame floated higher on the Chime Hybrid, leaving her shoulders a bit under-served in side-sleep mode. She kept rubbing her upper arm in the dark and muttering, “Too firm right here for me.” Then she shifted to the Gruve 12 Hybrid and immediately relaxed. The thicker comfort package and plush feel gave her that “soft pocket” around her shoulders without losing support under her waist. On Mt Dana’s Euro top, she described a slower, deeper cradle that still left her neck neutral, which matters a lot when she curls into that semi-fetal posture. 

Jenna watched the lineup through the lens of a partner sleeper. She ran repeated “get in, get out” drills with a weighted dummy on the other side of the bed. On the Chime 12 foam, she felt movement but never that sharp jolt that wakes light sleepers. Motion came through more clearly on the Anniversary pillow top, which uses a traditional coil structure with a plush surface. She shrugged and said, “You trade some stillness for this kind of bounce.” For her, the Gruve and Mt Dana hybrids hit the best compromise between couple-friendly motion control and ease of repositioning near the edges.

What We Tested and How We Tested It

The test cycle ran across multiple weeks, with the same crew moving through the same sequence of beds. I wanted my back to feel each mattress after real workdays, not just lab-style sprints. Under those circumstances, we focused on support, pressure relief, cooling behavior, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge strength, and expected durability.

Each mattress went through a structured “day one, week one, week three” pattern. We logged first-impression comfort, break-in changes, and late-night aches. Marcus and I handled most of the edge-sitting drills, sliding toward corners and measuring compression depth with a rigid ruler. Mia spent extra time in side-sleep positions, rotating from left to right and flagging any sharp pressure along shoulders or hips.

For cooling, we used a consistent room temperature and similar bedding sets, then tracked perceived warmth across the night. Jenna ran partner-motion tests with a weighted dummy and then with Jamal climbing in and out of bed. Jamal also handled bounce checks, pressing down and releasing near the center, judging how quickly the surface pushed him back. From the perspective of future durability, we watched for early impressions or body outlines, especially under Marcus.

Those observations fed into numerical scores. I anchored support scores around spinal alignment and hip positioning. Pressure-relief numbers followed Mia’s long side-sleep runs and my own shoulder comfort sessions. Motion isolation depended heavily on Jenna’s partner drills. Value scores combined street pricing, construction details, and real comfort performance during those weeks.

Ashley Mattress: Our Testing Experience

Ashley Chime 12" Memory Foam Mattress – “Best Budget Ashley Mattress for Small Spaces”

Our Testing Experience

My first night on the Chime 12 felt almost suspiciously simple. Foam, cover, box, done. When I dropped onto my back, the top layer compressed under my pelvis, then slowed down and spread the load toward my mid-back. Under those circumstances, my lower spine followed a steady arc, which my desk-tight muscles appreciated.

During side-sleep stretches, my shoulders sank in more than my hips. That kind of tilt usually bothers my neck, yet here the transition foam under the memory layer kept things from bending too far. I still felt some heat under my ribs by early morning, which fits an all-foam budget mattress with gel but no complex cooling tech.

Marcus gave the Chime 12 a harsher workout. His heavier build sank quickly through the comfort layers, then met the firm base foam. He rolled to his stomach and grumbled, “I’m right on the core, but it holds me straight.” That line fit what we saw on his alignment checks. His hips stayed level, although he missed the lifted feel he gets from a true hybrid. Edge sitting compressed the border almost to the frame under his weight, which matters for people who sit to dress every morning.

Mia treated this mattress as a budget side-sleeping experiment. Her lighter frame floated higher on the surface, so she never hit the firmest foam layer. When she curled onto her right side, she described a gentle “nested” feeling around her shoulder, with only a touch of numbness after long stretches. That kind of response makes sense for lighter bodies on medium-firm foam. She still preferred later nights on the Gruve, but she tagged the Chime 12 as a “totally workable cheap backup bed.”

In my view, the Chime 12 shines most under smaller or average-weight sleepers who want strong motion isolation and low cost. Guest rooms, first apartments, and secondary bedrooms fit this kind of mattress. Hot sleepers or very heavy users should consider the hybrids before committing.

Ashley Chime 10" Hybrid Mattress – “Best Ashley Mattress for Firm Hybrid Support”

Our Testing Experience

The Chime 10 Hybrid felt like a different species the moment my back hit the surface. Coil pushback came through the foam stack right away. My hips did not sink as deeply as on the Chime 12, which gave me a taller, firmer ride. Under my desk-tired lower back, that firmer base felt reassuring, especially during those evenings when I wanted a short reset nap before heading back to email.

Marcus clicked with this mattress faster than I did. He lay on his back, shifted to his stomach, then looked over and said, “This is the first one that actually lifts me.” His hip region stayed well supported, and he felt less swallowed than on the all-foam bed. During edge-sitting drills, he could plant both feet, lean forward, and still feel the perimeter hold him more firmly. That response tracks with the individually wrapped coil unit and reinforced edge foam described in Ashley’s materials. 

Jenna treated the Chime Hybrid as a “wake-up test bed.” She climbed in after Marcus had rolled around and paid attention to motion ripple. Movement felt more pronounced than on the Chime foam mattress, which she expected from an inexpensive hybrid. She still considered it manageable, especially for couples who do not wake at every shift. Repositioning came easily, thanks to the quicker surface response. She rolled from back to side without that stuck-in-foam sensation.

For me, this mattress landed squarely in the firm-yet-usable category. Back sleeping felt solid. Side sleeping remained workable, though my shoulders wanted more cushion after long sessions. Under these circumstances, I would recommend the Chime 10 Hybrid for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers who enjoy a firmer hybrid at a tight budget.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Firmer, lifted feel that helps many back and stomach sleepers	Less deep contouring for strict side sleepers
Better edge support than the all-foam Chime	Motion transfer higher than foam sibling
Easy movement for combination sleepers	Comfort layers feel thinner for heavier users

Ashley Gruve 12" Hybrid Mattress – “Best Plush Ashley Mattress for Side Sleepers”

Our Testing Experience

The Gruve 12 Hybrid changed the tone in the room the first night. I lay down and felt a thicker, plusher comfort package that let my shoulders ease in without losing the coil structure underneath. Back sleeping still felt supported, yet the top foam stack blurred some of the sharp pushback that shows up on firmer hybrids.

Mia staked her claim on the Gruve early. She slid onto her left side, settled in, then stayed there longer than usual on a fresh test mattress. Later she summed it up with, “This kind of top finally lets my shoulder relax.” Her lighter frame never crashed through to the coils. Pressure mapped more evenly along her outer hip and shoulder, which matters for side-sleepers who run into numb arms on firmer builds.

Marcus tested the Gruve from a different angle. Under his weight, the plush feel stayed present, but he could sense the 680-count wrapped coil unit supporting his hips. He still preferred the slightly firmer Mt Dana for long runs, yet he respected how the Gruve held him steadier than he expected from the marketing word “plush.” Edge sitting felt solid, especially compared with the all-foam Chime. 

Jenna’s couple-focused tests gave the Gruve another win column. When she climbed in after Marcus had shifted around, she felt minor ripples yet no sharp jolts. Rolling from side to back stayed easy. The surface let her pivot without that sticky slow-foam drag. Under those circumstances, she called the Gruve “the first Ashley mattress here that balances bounce and calm for couples.”

I see the Gruve 12 Hybrid as a sweet spot for side sleepers, lighter bodies, and combination sleepers who want plush comfort without losing coil support. Hot sleepers still need breathable bedding, yet the coil cavity and cooling foam helped keep my back less clammy than on the Chime 12.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Plush top that still hides firm support underneath	Heavier sleepers may want an even burlier coil unit
Very friendly to side sleepers and lighter frames	Not the firmest option for strict stomach sleepers
Good balance between motion control and easy movement	Price sits higher than entry-level Chime models

Details

• Price (queen): often around $500–$750, depending on store and promotions
• Type: plush hybrid mattress
• Thickness: 12" profile
• Firmness: medium to medium-plush in our experience
• Construction: cooling gel memory foam over comfort foam, transition foam, and about 680 individually wrapped coils with reinforced edges 
• Cover: soft-touch knit fabric designed to feel plusher than basic lines
• Cooling: gel-infused foam plus airflow around and through coil unit
• Pressure relief: generous cushioning around shoulders and hips, especially for side sleepers
• Responsiveness: moderate bounce from the coil core with a soft initial landing

Ashley Mt Dana Euro Top Plush Mattress – “Best Luxury Ashley Mattress for Pressure Relief”

Our Testing Experience

When we unboxed the Mt Dana Euro Top, the extra height looked almost theatrical next to the Chime beds. Lying down confirmed that impression. The Euro-top panel wrapped around my shoulders and hips, spreading pressure more slowly than the thinner Gruve comfort system. Under that plush surface, the zoned coil unit held my lumbar region in a firmer channel, especially when I stayed on my back. 

During side-sleep trials, I felt my ribcage sink gradually, yet my midsection never sagged into a hammock shape. That pattern tracked well with the center-third support design described in the product specs. Mia fell for this mattress quickly. She curled onto her side, then shifted into her usual semi-fetal posture. Her first comment came out quietly: “My shoulder finally feels padded but not twisted.” Later in the week, she still ranked Mt Dana highest for pure side-sleep comfort.

Marcus approached Mt Dana with some skepticism, expecting too much softness under his build. Instead, he found a balance he actually liked for long sessions. The Euro top let his shoulders and chest settle, while the firmer zoning under his hips kept him level. He called it “plush where I want it, structured where I need it.” Edge drills showed strong stability, which makes sense for a thicker hybrid with a reinforced perimeter.

Jenna noticed a touch more motion transfer than on the Chime foam mattress, yet she still considered Mt Dana acceptable for couples. The thicker foam stack blurred coil movement better than the Anniversary pillow top during her “partner in and out” tests. Repositioning required slightly more effort than on the Gruve, thanks to the deeper Euro-top cradle, yet she never felt stuck.

In my view, Mt Dana works best as an upgraded primary mattress for people who want luxury-leaning comfort without boutique pricing. Side sleepers, combination sleepers, and those with shoulder or hip sensitivity sit squarely in that target.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Deep Euro-top cushioning with zoned support beneath	Heavier profile; harder to move or rotate
Strong pressure relief for shoulders and hips	Price noticeably higher than Chime and some Gruve deals
Solid edge and core support for diverse sleepers	Motion isolation trails pure foam options slightly

Details

• Price (queen): often about $700–$1,000, depending on retailer and height variant
• Type: Euro-top hybrid mattress
• Thickness: around 15" in many configurations
• Firmness: medium-plush under our testers
• Construction: Euro-top foam package over gel memory foam in the center third, transition foams, and a zoned wrapped-coil support unit; reinforced edge rails for perimeter stability 
• Cover: higher-end knit fabric with a more traditional, cushioned aesthetic
• Cooling: gel memory foam in the lumbar region plus airflow routes within the coil core
• Pressure relief: standout performance for side sleepers and combination sleepers with joint sensitivity
• Responsiveness: moderate bounce filtered through the Euro-top panel
• Durability: robust coil unit and denser foams project a longer service life than many entry-level beds
• Motion isolation: good, though not at Chime-foam levels
• Edge support: strong for both sitting and sleeping right near the border
• Shipping: usually delivered via scheduled furniture delivery rather than simple boxed shipping
• Trial period: defined by retailer; Ashley-branded stores often rely on comfort-exchange style programs
• Warranty: generally 10-year limited warranty for structural defects

Ashley Anniversary Edition Pillow Top Mattress – “Best Ashley Mattress for Traditional Innerspring Feel”

Our Testing Experience

The Anniversary Edition Pillow Top felt like stepping back into a classic mattress shop, in a good way. I dropped onto the surface and felt an immediate pillow-y softness, then a quicker spring engagement from the coil unit underneath. Back sleeping felt comfortable, with my hips supported and my shoulders cushioned. Side sleeping worked too, although less delicately than on Mt Dana. 

Marcus liked the straightforward support. His frame pressed through the pillow layer into the firmer coil region. During stomach-sleep experiments, his hips stayed level instead of sinking, which matters for his lower back. He commented, “This feels like the beds I grew up on, just a bit more cushioned.” Edge sitting turned into another highlight. The perimeter held him firmly, even when he shifted toward the corners.

Jenna’s experience brought out the main trade-off. She ran her usual partner-motion drills and felt more movement than on the foam-forward models. The classic coil-driven bounce spread energy across the surface. Under those circumstances, she still saw a viable option for couples who like a livelier mattress. She simply flagged it as less ideal for very light sleepers sharing with restless partners.

I treated the Anniversary Edition as the “springy anchor” in this Ashley mattress group. Combination sleepers who like an easy roll, people who grew up on innerspring beds, and shoppers who dislike deep foam cradles can find a familiar rhythm here. Side sleepers with very sharp shoulder sensitivity might still prefer Mt Dana or Gruve.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Classic innerspring bounce with a cushioned top	Higher motion transfer than foam-heavy models
Strong edge feel for sitting and couples sharing space	Pressure relief lags slightly behind Mt Dana for sore shoulders
Supportive feel for back and combination sleepers	Not ideal for people who prefer deep, slow foam hug

Details

• Price (queen): typically $650–$950, with variations by height and retailer
• Type: pillow-top hybrid or innerspring-style mattress
• Thickness: about 13"
• Firmness: medium in our combined impressions
• Construction: pillow-top foam package, center-third gel memory foam, upholstery foams, and a coil support system beneath; reinforced perimeter for edge use 
• Cover: quilted top with a plusher hand feel
• Cooling: coil airflow plus gel-infused center-third foam
• Pressure relief: comfortable cushioning, though less sculpted than Mt Dana’s Euro-top setup
• Responsiveness: lively bounce suited to active sleepers and combination patterns

• Motion isolation: moderate; some partners may feel turning and getting up
• Edge support: strong for both sitting and nightly use along the sides
• Shipping: commonly delivered via furniture trucks or white-glove services

Mt Dana leads this Ashley mattress group on pressure relief and overall refinement, followed closely by Gruve for side-sleep comfort and couple-friendly performance. Chime 12 owns motion isolation at a lower price, while the Chime Hybrid and Anniversary mattress cater more to sleepers who prefer a firmer, bouncier ride. Trade-offs revolve mainly around motion control versus bounce, plus deep contour versus elevated support.

Best Picks

• Best Ashley Mattress for Side Sleepers and Pressure Relief – Ashley Mt Dana Euro Top Plush
  This model gave Mia the most consistent shoulder comfort and kept my hips steady. Zoned coils, a deep Euro top, and strong edge performance make it the standout for primary beds with a plush lean.
• Best Budget Ashley Mattress for Guest Rooms – Ashley Chime 12" Memory Foam Mattress
  Street pricing stays low, yet back and side sleepers still get real contour and strong motion isolation. Guest rooms, first apartments, and lighter nightly users benefit from that mix of cost control and comfort.
• Best Traditional-Feel Ashley Mattress for Active Sleepers – Ashley Anniversary Edition Pillow Top Mattress
  The lively coil system and cushioned pillow top suit combination sleepers who roll frequently. Strong edge support and a classic spring feel set it apart in these Ashley mattress reviews.

How to Choose the Ashley Mattress?

From the perspective of real sleepers, Ashley’s catalog breaks into a few practical lanes. People must start with body weight, position habits, and tolerance for bounce or hug. Then budget and room role decide which lane matters more.

Light-weight side sleepers often sit in Mia’s territory. Under those circumstances, the Ashley Gruve 12" Hybrid and Mt Dana Euro Top Plush make more sense. Both models allowed her shoulders to nestle without harsh pressure. Gruve saves money and still gives strong relief. Mt Dana deepens the cradle and adds more luxury touches.

Average-weight back sleepers live closer to my profile or Carlos’s template. For that group, the Chime 10" Hybrid and Mt Dana stand out. The Chime Hybrid keeps hips lifted with a firmer coil feel at a lower price. Mt Dana adds a cushier surface with zoned support when users want comfort upgrades.

Hot sleepers who struggle with foam warmth can lean toward the hybrids. Chime 10" Hybrid, Gruve, and Anniversary Edition all route air through coil cores, with gel foams adding another cooling nudge. Among those, Anniversary feels bounciest. Gruve and Mt Dana feel more balanced between coziness and airflow.

Heavier couples, or partners who share every inch of a queen, gain more from strong edge performance. Chime 10" Hybrid, Gruve, Mt Dana, and Anniversary all handled sitting and edge sleeping better than the Chime foam bed. People who hate deep foam hug will likely favor the Anniversary Edition Pillow Top for its classic spring lift.

Ultra-tight budgets, starter apartments, and occasional-use rooms almost always push toward the Ashley Chime 12" Memory Foam Mattress. That kind of mattress still supports average bodies respectably, absorbs motion well, and arrives in a simple box that survives narrow staircases.

Limitations

These Ashley Mattress models deliver solid value, yet they never pretend to be handcrafted boutique pieces. Very heavy sleepers above a certain weight range may still want thicker, denser builds or upgraded coil systems beyond what Chime and Gruve offer. People who require an extremely firm sleeping surface may find even the Chime Hybrid and Anniversary mattress a bit too forgiving through the shoulders.

Shoppers hunting for natural latex, organic textiles, or certifications beyond standard foams will not find that focus here. The line leans toward conventional polyfoams and memory foams with standard covers. Ultra-sensitive hot sleepers may still run into warmth on the all-foam Chime 12, even with gel infusions, especially under heavy bedding.
