FlexiSpot’s mattress lineup leans value-first: a handful of hybrid mattresses and one all-foam option built for simple setup and a straightforward feel. In our testing, the hybrids were the most balanced for support and temperature control, while the foam model stood out for motion isolation and pressure relief. The trade-off is edge stability—if you sit or sleep near the perimeter, the foam bed feels less secure than the hybrids.

Testing team takeaways
Across all four beds, the U3 felt like the most complete option: it kept my lower back supported without creating sharp pressure at my shoulders and hips. Marcus preferred the U2’s firmer, more on-top feel—especially on warmer nights when he’s quick to notice heat buildup. Mia consistently favored the EGO Copper for joint comfort and low motion transfer, but she also called out the softer edges. The U1 was our value pick: stable and easy to move on, but less forgiving for long side-sleep stretches.

How we tested
We rotated each mattress through real nightly sleep, morning sit-and-stand routines, and low-light position changes, consistent with our How We Test Mattresses framework. We also repeated edge sitting, near-edge lounging, and quick-roll tests to see how each bed handled everyday use.
We scored Support by checking lumbar stability and hip sink; Cooling by tracking heat buildup and cover feel; and Pressure Relief by monitoring shoulder and hip hot spots during long side-sleep blocks. Motion Isolation came from partner-style movement tests, Responsiveness from how easily we could roll and reset, Edge Support from seated and near-edge sleep, and Durability from materials cues plus how the feel settled after repeated use.
FlexiSpot mattresses: our hands-on experience
13" Premier Hybrid Mattress (U3)

Our testing experience
On the U3, my hips settled in without my lower back dipping. I’d start on my side, read for a bit, then roll onto my back—each move felt predictable instead of sticky. Marcus ran his usual edge test (sitting to tie his shoes), and the perimeter stayed planted rather than slowly sliding away. On longer nights, it stayed supportive without feeling board-like, and the coil-driven airflow helped keep heat from lingering once the comfort layers warmed up.
What we liked
-
Stable midsection support that kept my hips level through the night
-
Confident edge feel for sitting and near-edge sleeping
-
Cooling stayed consistent instead of spiking after the first hour
Who it is best for
-
Combination sleepers who rotate between back and side
-
People who want a medium-firm feel with noticeable contouring
-
Couples who use the outer third of the bed regularly
Where it falls short
-
Not the quietest surface for extremely motion-sensitive sleepers
-
If you want a deeply plush, slow-melting foam feel, this won’t mimic that

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong edge stability | Not “dead still” on motion |
| Balanced contour + support | Less plush than a deep all-foam bed |
| Cooling holds up overnight | - |

12" Plus Hybrid Mattress (U2)

Our testing experience
The U2 felt more on top than the U3—less of a slow settle-in and more of a steady platform. It still had enough cushion that my shoulders didn’t go numb, and it rebounded quickly after position changes. Marcus liked it right away on warmer nights because the surface stayed comfortable instead of holding onto heat. When I did my late-night rollovers, I could turn without thinking; it didn’t tug at my shoulders, and my hips stayed level when I ended up flat on my back.
What we liked
-
A support-forward feel that stayed consistent through the night
-
Cooling feel stayed steady after the first hour
-
Quick, clean movement when switching positions
Who it is best for
-
Back sleepers who want a stable surface with some contour
-
Hot sleepers who dislike dense, slow foam heat retention
-
People who want a medium-firm feel without the “plush top” sensation
Where it falls short
-
Side sleepers with sharp shoulder sensitivity may want more cushion depth
-
Motion control is solid, but foam still beats it for “quietest” feel

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Support-first feel that stays even | Less plush pressure relief than thicker hybrids |
| Cooling gel foam noted in product description | Some motion is still noticeable compared with all-foam |
| Easy mobility when turning | - |

| Durability | 4.2 | Held its feel well across the test cycle |
| Overall Score | 4.2 | Best for sleepers who want steadier support over plushness |
10" Classic Hybrid Mattress (U1)

Our testing experience
The U1 felt like the simplest of the hybrids—in a good way. There’s less cushion on top, so my spine found a neutral line quickly, especially on back-sleep nights when my lower back runs tight. It was also easy to move on during half-awake rollovers. The trade-off showed up during long side-sleep stretches: Mia’s shoulder pressure built faster here than on the U3 or the foam model. For a guest room or a budget-first primary bed, though, it stayed stable and predictable night after night.
What we liked
-
Stable, straightforward support that keeps you from sinking too deep
-
Easy mobility for combination sleepers who rotate often
-
Value positioning without feeling flimsy
Who it is best for
-
Budget-focused shoppers who still want a hybrid feel
-
Back sleepers and occasional stomach sleepers who want less sink
-
Guest-room setups where broad comfort matters more than “luxury plush”
Where it falls short
-
Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders/outer hips may want more cushion
-
If you want the most muted motion, foam will do better

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Simple, stable hybrid feel | Less pressure relief for side sleepers |
| Gel memory foam layer noted | Not as quiet as all-foam for motion |
| Easy to change positions | - |

MLILY EGO Copper Gel Memory Foam Mattress

Our testing experience
The EGO Copper had the quietest surface in this group. When I rolled from side to back, the top felt more conforming—less bounce, more settle—which helped with shoulder pressure right away. Mia liked it for side sleeping because she could sink in enough to avoid joint pinch without feeling twisted at the neck. Motion control was the clear standout: when someone got up or shifted, the disturbance stayed localized instead of rippling across the bed. The trade-offs showed up at the edges and during quick turns: it doesn’t give you that spring-assisted lift, and sitting on the perimeter felt less supportive than the hybrids.
What we liked
-
Very strong motion isolation and a calmer surface feel
-
Pressure relief that suits long side-sleep blocks
-
A more “wrapped” foam contour for shoulders and hips
Who it is best for
-
Light sleepers who wake easily from partner movement
-
Side sleepers who need joint comfort more than bounce
-
People who prefer the quieter, slower feel of foam
Where it falls short
-
Edge-dependent sleepers who sit or sleep near the perimeter
-
Hot sleepers who prefer coil-driven airflow over foam contouring

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent motion isolation | Softer edge feel than hybrids |
| Strong pressure relief for side sleepers | Less bounce for quick turns |

On scores, the U3 is the most even performer—no weak category, and it leads on overall balance. The U2 is close, with a clear tilt toward support and quicker movement, and it stayed comfortable through our warmer-night rotations. The EGO Copper dominates Motion Isolation and Pressure Relief, but its Edge Support is the most obvious trade-off. The U1 reads like a value hybrid: steady support and easy mobility, with the clearest pressure-relief limitation.
How to choose a FlexiSpot mattress
Start with sleeping position and how warm you run. If you rotate between back and side—or you want one bed that covers the widest range of sleepers—start with the U3. If you sleep hot or prefer a steadier medium-firm surface, the U2 is the safer pick. If budget is the priority and you mostly sleep on your back, the U1 is the straightforward choice. If you’re a light sleeper or you want deeper pressure relief for side sleeping, the EGO Copper is the best match.
Limitations
These models lean toward practical, value-first builds rather than a long menu of firmness options. The hybrids don’t fully match the dead-quiet motion of dense foam, and the foam model can’t match the edge stability of a reinforced hybrid. If you spend a lot of time perched on the edge, the EGO Copper is the weakest fit. If you have very sensitive shoulders and sleep on your side all night, the U1 is the riskiest match.

Pro tips for FlexiSpot
-
Give the surface time to settle before judging firmness on day one.
-
For side sleepers on the hybrids, use a slightly plusher pillow to keep the neck level when the shoulder sinks.
-
If you run hot, use breathable sheets and skip thick mattress protectors that block airflow.
-
Test edge support the way you actually live: sit to put on socks, then lie near the edge for 10 minutes.
-
For motion sensitivity, place the bed on a stable platform bed or frame and keep slats evenly spaced to reduce bounce.
-
On the foam model, rotate regularly to keep the feel even across the surface.
-
If you wake with low-back tightness, adjust pillow height first, then reassess mattress feel.
-
Keep a consistent bedroom temperature for at least a week; cooling impressions change when the room changes.
-
For couples, do a “get-in/get-out” routine test before committing to a long-term setup.
