Everything Mattress is a practical stop for shoppers who want to try hybrids in person and leave with a clearer sense of what “supportive” or “plush” really feels like.
For this review, we tested five popular hybrids that mirror the decisions most people make in that showroom: two Limited Edition models (Firm and Plush), a premium DreamCloud option, a budget-friendly Ashley Chime, and a firmer Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid built for straighter alignment.

Product Overview
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price* (Queen) | Overall Score |
| Limited Edition Firm Hybrid (Sierra Sleep by Ashley) | Strong lumbar support; firm feel; sturdy edges | Too firm for many side sleepers; modest pressure relief | Back sleepers; heavier sleepers who like a firm surface | Around $700–$800 | 4.4 / 5 |
| Limited Edition Plush Hybrid (Sierra Sleep by Ashley) | Deep pressure relief; cushioned top; quiet coils | Too soft for strict stomach sleepers; edges feel less locked-in | Side sleepers; lighter to average bodies | Around $750–$850 | 4.3 / 5 |
| DreamCloud Premier Hybrid | Balanced feel; plush euro-top; strong support core | Heavy to move once set; takes space to unbox | Mixed-position sleepers; couples who want a compromise | Around $1,400–$1,700 | 4.6 / 5 |
| Ashley Chime 12" Hybrid | Accessible price; gentle contour; lower motion transfer | Average durability; limited support for very heavy bodies | Guest rooms; teens; lighter adults | Around $500–$700 | 4.1 / 5 |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper 12" Hybrid Firm | Noticeable spine alignment; responsive surface; stable edges | Too firm for many petite side sleepers; some motion from coils | Back sleepers; combo sleepers who prefer a firmer feel | Around $1,000–$1,300 | 4.5 / 5 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Across this lineup, the biggest divider is surface feel. The Limited Edition Firm Hybrid and the Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid run noticeably firmer and do the best job keeping hips from sinking. The Limited Edition Plush and the Chime lean softer and more forgiving at the shoulders and hips.
DreamCloud Premier Hybrid landed in the middle for us: it feels cushioned right away, but the support underneath keeps the bed from collapsing when you settle in. It was also the easiest a one-bed compromise for couples option in our room.
If you’re shopping on value, the Chime gives you a hybrid build at an entry price, but the tradeoffs show up at the perimeter and in long-session support. If you want a firmer, steadier platform—especially at the edges or you’re a heavier sleeper—the Limited Edition Firm and the Serta are the safer bets.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
We kept the testing process consistent so the differences came from the mattresses—not the setup. Each model got multiple full nights, plus repeatable daytime checks for motion isolation, edge support, and temperature.
For support and alignment, we watched how the hips and low back settled in different positions and compared notes across body types. Pressure relief came from longer side-sleep sessions, focusing on shoulder and hip comfort over time.
Cooling, responsiveness, and motion isolation were measured the same way on every bed: quick-rebound checks when changing positions, partner disturbance tests, and temperature feel over extended sessions. Durability and value are informed estimates based on materials, build, and warranty terms.
Everything Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Limited Edition Firm Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
This is the mattress we reached for when we wanted the most “held up” feeling in the group. On my back, my hips stayed lifted and my lower back didn’t dip, even after a long day at a desk.
It’s also one of the easier firm beds to sleep near the edge on. Sitting to put on shoes and lying close to the perimeter felt stable, which matters if you share a smaller size or tend to sprawl.
The tradeoff is immediate on your side: the surface doesn’t give much at the shoulder. If you need deep contouring for pressure points, the Plush version or DreamCloud is the smoother fit.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Firm, supportive feel that keeps hips elevated | Can feel too firm for lighter side sleepers |
| Good cooling for a coil-based hybrid | Limited deep contour around shoulders |
| Strong edge support for sitting and sleeping near the border | Very firm feel may bother people who like a plush top |
| Quiet coil operation during position changes | Average pressure relief for long side-sleep sessions |
Details
- Type: Firm hybrid (foam + pocketed coils)
- Feel: Firm, around 8/10 in our testing
- Height: About 12"
- Best for: Back sleepers and heavier bodies who want a flatter surface
- Motion/response: Easy to move; moderate motion isolation
- Cooling: Coil airflow helps; firmer foams don’t trap as much heat
- Trial/returns: Terms depend on the retailer; warranty is typically 10-year limited
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.8 | Kept hips and low back level on back-sleep sessions. |
| Pressure Relief | 3.6 | Works best on your back; side sleepers may want more give. |
| Cooling | 4.3 | Stayed comfortable in longer sessions; coils help airflow. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.1 | Controlled movement reasonably well for a firm hybrid. |
| Edge Support | 4.8 | Stable edge for sitting and sleeping close to the border. |
| Responsiveness | 4.5 | Quick rebound; rolling and repositioning felt easy. |
| Durability | 4.5 | Firm foams and coil unit should resist impressions for most users. |
| Value | 4.2 | A solid firm hybrid at a midrange price point. |
| Overall Score | 4.4 / 5 | Best suited to sleepers who want firm, straightforward support. |
Limited Edition Plush Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
The Plush Hybrid is the one we pointed side sleepers toward first. It has a softer top that lets the shoulder settle in without the “stuck” feeling you can get on deeper memory foam.
On my side, pressure built more slowly than on the Firm model, and Mia noted she could stay in one position longer before feeling that familiar hip and shoulder nag.
If you’re a strict stomach sleeper or you like a very firm surface, this one can feel a little too forgiving through the midsection—especially at higher body weights.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Plush top that cradles shoulders and hips | Softer feel can reduce support for heavy stomach sleepers |
| Good pressure relief for side sleepers | Edges feel less rigid than the firm version |
| Comfortable for mixed positions at average weights | Can feel warm to very hot sleepers during long nights |
| Coils stay fairly quiet during motion | Not ideal for people who want a very firm surface |
Details
- Type: Plush-leaning hybrid (foam + pocketed coils)
- Feel: Plush, around 5.5/10 in our testing
- Height: About 12"
- Best for: Side sleepers and lighter-to-average bodies
- Motion/response: Good motion control; moderate bounce
- Cooling: Generally neutral; deeper cushioning can warm up
- Trial/returns: Terms depend on the retailer; warranty is typically 10-year limited
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.1 | Supportive overall, but softer through the middle than firm models. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.7 | Strong shoulder and hip comfort for side sleeping. |
| Cooling | 4.0 | Slept fairly neutral; not the coolest in the group. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.2 | Absorbed partner movement well in our tests. |
| Edge Support | 3.9 | Decent, but not as braced as the firm options. |
| Responsiveness | 4.0 | Easy enough to move, with a slightly plusher feel. |
| Durability | 4.2 | Should hold up well, though softer foams may show wear sooner. |
| Value | 4.4 | Good comfort-per-dollar if you need more pressure relief. |
| Overall Score | 4.3 / 5 | Our top pick here for side sleepers who want a hybrid feel. |
DreamCloud Premier Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
DreamCloud Premier Hybrid was the “most finished” feeling mattress in the room. The surface has that plush, hotel-style cushion, but it doesn’t collapse when you settle into it.
Back sleeping stayed aligned, and side sleeping felt comfortably cradled without making it hard to roll over. That mix is why it was the easiest recommendation for couples with different preferences.
It’s also the bulkiest bed we tested. Once it’s unboxed, plan on leaving it in place—moving it around a tight room takes effort.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Balanced medium-firm feel that suits many positions | Heavy and bulky; harder to move in tight stairwells |
| Excellent pressure relief for side and combo sleepers | Euro top may feel too plush for very firm-bed fans |
| Strong support from tall coil unit and transition foams | Premium pricing, even with discounts |
| Very good motion isolation for couples | Thick profile may require deep-pocket sheets |
Details
- Type: Luxury hybrid with a plush euro-top feel
- Feel: Medium-firm, around 6.5/10 in our testing
- Height: About 13"
- Cover: Quilted top panel with a euro-top style build
- Best for: Mixed sleepers and couples who want one-bed balance
- Cooling: Breathable for a cushioned mattress; coils aid airflow
- Trial/warranty: When purchased direct, it typically includes a long trial and lifetime limited warranty
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.7 | Stayed aligned on back sleep without feeling rigid. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.8 | Cushioned enough for shoulders and hips in side sleep. |
| Cooling | 4.5 | Impressively breathable for a thick comfort stack. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.6 | Among the calmest options for partner movement. |
| Edge Support | 4.4 | Stable edge for most sleepers; not “hard” but supportive. |
| Responsiveness | 4.4 | Slightly slower to move on than firmer hybrids, but manageable. |
| Durability | 4.8 | Build and support core suggest strong long-term performance. |
| Value | 4.3 | Pricier, but delivers a premium feel and well-rounded performance. |
| Overall Score | 4.6 / 5 | The best all-around option in this group for most sleepers. |
Ashley Chime 12" Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
The Chime 12" Hybrid is the value play: a straightforward hybrid that feels comfortable quickly, without demanding a big budget. For a guest room, starter apartment, or teen bedroom, it’s easy to live with.
On my side, the foam layer took pressure off my shoulder better than I expected at this price. The center support is fine for lighter sleepers, but the mattress flexes more under heavier hips than the higher-end options.
Edge support is the giveaway that this is a budget build. Sitting and sleeping near the perimeter felt less secure, especially for larger bodies.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Budget-friendly price within the Everything Mattress range | Support may feel limited for heavier sleepers |
| Comfortable medium feel with gentle contour | Cooling performance lands at average, not advanced |
| Works well for guest rooms or teens | Motion control trails the pricier hybrids |
| Easy to move and set up due to lighter build | Edge support feels modest compared with premium models |
Details
- Type: Budget hybrid (foam comfort layer + pocketed coils)
- Feel: Medium, around 6/10 in our testing
- Height: About 12"
- Best for: Guest rooms, teens, and lighter adults
- Pressure relief: Better than expected for the price
- Edge support: Average; less stable for heavier sleepers
- Trial/returns: Retailer-dependent; warranty is commonly 10-year limited
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 3.9 | Adequate for lighter sleepers; heavy hips sink more than on premium beds. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.3 | Comfortable for side sleeping in shorter-to-moderate sessions. |
| Cooling | 3.8 | Average; foam holds more warmth than the coil-forward options. |
| Motion Isolation | 3.9 | Decent for couples, especially in the center of the bed. |
| Edge Support | 3.7 | Noticeable compression at the perimeter. |
| Responsiveness | 4.0 | Not sluggish, but not as quick as firmer hybrids. |
| Durability | 3.9 | Better for occasional use than long-term heavy daily loading. |
| Value | 4.6 | Strong value if budget is the priority. |
| Overall Score | 4.1 / 5 | A practical hybrid when cost matters more than premium refinement. |
Serta Perfect Sleeper 12" Hybrid Firm
Our Testing Experience
This Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid is the “straight spine” option in the lineup. For back sleeping, it held my hips up without feeling like a board, and it stayed consistent over longer nights.
It’s more responsive than the Plush Limited Edition and the Chime, which helped combination sleepers move around without fighting the surface. Edge stability was also strong when sitting or sleeping near the border.
For smaller side sleepers, the firmness can still be the dealbreaker. You get alignment, but you may not get enough shoulder depth unless you add a softer topper.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong alignment for back sleepers | Firm feel can bother petite side sleepers |
| Good cooling through gel foams and breathable cover | Motion transfer remains noticeable during aggressive turning |
| Responsive surface that supports easy movement | People seeking plush cushioning may find it too stiff |
| Reassuring big-brand presence and broad availability | Price feels high for shoppers on tight budgets |
Details
- Type: Firm hybrid in the Perfect Sleeper line
- Feel: Firm, around 7.5/10 in our testing
- Height: About 12"
- Best for: Back sleepers and firmer-feel combination sleepers
- Cooling: Strong overall, helped by breathable coils and a cooler-feeling cover
- Edge support: One of the strongest in this group
- Trial/warranty: Varies by retailer; direct programs commonly include a trial and a 10-year limited warranty
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.7 | Excellent alignment support, especially for back sleeping. |
| Pressure Relief | 4.0 | Good for a firm bed; side sleepers may need more cushion. |
| Cooling | 4.4 | Stayed cooler than most foam-forward hybrids we tested. |
| Motion Isolation | 4.1 | Very good for a responsive coil hybrid. |
| Edge Support | 4.4 | Stable edge for sitting and sleeping near the perimeter. |
| Responsiveness | 4.6 | Quick to move on and easy to reposition. |
| Durability | 4.6 | Support core and build suggest strong longevity. |
| Value | 4.1 | Good performance, though pricing depends heavily on retailer promos. |
| Overall Score | 4.5 / 5 | A strong pick for shoppers who prioritize firmness and alignment. |

How to Choose the Everything Mattress?
If you’re not sure how to choose a mattress, start with your main sleep position and how much “give” you like at the shoulders and hips. If you’re mostly on your side, a plush-to-medium surface (Limited Edition Plush or DreamCloud) usually keeps pressure points calmer through the night.
If you’re primarily a back sleeper—or you’ve had that familiar low-back dip on softer beds—the firmer hybrids (Limited Edition Firm or Serta Perfect Sleeper) did a better job keeping our hips level and our spines straighter.
Hot sleepers should also weigh the comfort stack. In our room, the coil-forward builds (Limited Edition Firm and Serta) stayed the most consistently cool, while foam-heavy options can hold more warmth over longer sessions.
For couples, the sweet spot is usually “stable but not stiff.” DreamCloud balanced motion control, pressure relief, and support better than the rest, which is why it was the easiest compromise pick.
Limitations
This group is heavily hybrid-focused. If you want an all-foam bed with a deep memory-foam hug, or you prefer latex’s springy feel, you’ll likely need to look beyond these picks.
Also, the budget models deliver comfort quickly, but they’re not built for the same long-term workload as the premium hybrids. If you’re heavier, share a bed nightly, or need very strong edge stability, prioritize the firmer, higher-scoring builds.

In practice, the clearest, most standardized policies usually come from buying direct from a brand. When you purchase through a retailer, the comfort-exchange window, pickup fees, and return eligibility can change, so it’s worth reading the fine print before you check out.
FAQs
Are these Everything Mattress picks good for lower-back pain?
They can be, as long as you choose enough support. In our testing, the Limited Edition Firm Hybrid and the Serta Perfect Sleeper hybrid did the best job keeping the hips from dropping, which is often the difference-maker for lower-back comfort.
Which option worked best for strict side sleepers?
The Limited Edition Plush Hybrid was the most consistently comfortable for shoulder and hip pressure. DreamCloud Premier Hybrid was a close second if you want more of a cushioned, “luxury hotel” surface.
Do any of these mattresses sleep hot?
None felt like a heat trap in a normal room, but foam-heavy beds can warm up over longer sessions. The coil-forward, firmer hybrids (Limited Edition Firm and Serta) stayed the coolest in our lineup.
Which mattress is easiest to move on?
The firmer hybrids were the quickest to reposition on. The Limited Edition Firm and the Serta had the most immediate pushback, while DreamCloud felt a bit slower because of its thicker comfort layer.
How do these choices handle motion for couples?
DreamCloud did the best overall job of dulling partner movement without feeling stuck. The Limited Edition Plush also performed well, while the firmer hybrids can pass along a little more bounce.
Which one is best for heavier sleepers?
If you’re heavier and want a firm, stable surface, the Limited Edition Firm Hybrid was the safest pick. It held our hips up and stayed stable near the edge compared with the softer options.
Is the Ashley Chime 12" Hybrid durable enough for everyday use?
For lighter sleepers and guest-room use, it’s a practical choice. If you’re heavier or expect years of nightly use, the higher-scoring hybrids are a safer long-term bet.
Do I need a box spring with these hybrids?
Most hybrids work best on a supportive base: a platform, a slatted frame with minimal gap, or a compatible foundation. The key is even support—check the brand or retailer requirements to protect the warranty.
What firmness should I pick if I’m not sure?
If you rotate positions or share a bed, medium to medium-firm is usually the easiest place to start. In this group, DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is the most flexible middle-ground option.
Are these mattresses compatible with adjustable bases?
Most modern hybrids are adjustable-base friendly, but the details vary by model. If you plan to use an adjustable base, confirm that the mattress is approved for bending and that it won’t void the warranty.
