MyPillow keeps its mattress lineup simple: a contouring all-foam bed, a 12-inch two-sided coil model, and a 10.5-inch one-sided coil model. The choice comes down to feel. The foam mattress absorbs movement and cushions the shoulders and hips, while the coil beds feel firmer, cooler, and easier to move across. Prices change often with promotions, so this review focuses on the differences that matter after the sale ends: support, pressure relief, temperature control, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge stability, and likely durability.

MyPillow Mattresses at a Glance
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyPillow Foam Mattress | 3.9/5 | Deepest pressure relief; least motion transfer | Softer edges; slowest rebound | Side sleepers and movement-sensitive couples |
| Two Sided Coil Quilted Mattress | 4.1/5 | Strong support; sturdy edges; easy movement | Most motion transfer; least contouring | Back sleepers and combination sleepers |
| MyPillow Encased Coil Quilted Mattress | 4.0/5 | Balanced support; stable edges; quick response | Less pressure relief and motion control than foam | Combination sleepers who want a traditional coil feel |
What Stood Out Across the Lineup
MyPillow Foam Mattress: This is the clear choice for side sleepers and anyone easily disturbed by a partner. It gave Mia the best shoulder and hip cushioning, and its slow-moving surface kept disturbances contained. The trade-off is a softer sitting edge and more warmth than either coil bed.
Two Sided Coil Quilted Mattress: This model earned the highest overall score because it delivered the strongest support and edge stability without making position changes difficult. Marcus found it cooler than the foam bed, and Jamal could roll from side to back with little resistance. Light sleepers should expect to feel more partner movement.
Encased Coil Quilted Mattress: The one-sided coil model is the most balanced of the three, though not the highest-scoring overall. It has a touch more cushioning than the two-sided bed while keeping the quick response and dependable perimeter that make coils practical for combination sleepers.

How We Evaluated Each Mattress
Each mattress spent several weeks in the same room with the same foundation and bedding. Our mattress testing process combines overnight use with repeatable checks. We assessed support through alignment and next-morning stiffness; cooling through 30-minute surface-temperature readings; and pressure relief during extended back- and side-sleeping sessions. For motion isolation, we dropped a 10-pound ball from 6 inches and averaged three accelerometer readings 24 inches away. We also timed foam recovery, compared center and perimeter compression under a 44-pound load, and watched for permanent changes after repeated use.
MyPillow Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Foam Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The foam mattress expanded to its full 10-inch profile within 48 hours and felt steady rather than deeply sink-in soft. It reshaped around the body instead of pushing back, which made side sleeping noticeably easier on the shoulders and hips. Under a 44-pound load, the center compressed 1.8 inches; at 2 inches from the edge, compression increased to 2.5 inches. That difference matched what we felt while sitting: sleeping near the side was comfortable, but tying shoes at the edge felt less secure than it did on either coil model.
Movement stayed remarkably contained. The three ball-drop trials averaged 0.18 g at the sensor, the lowest reading in the group. The surface took 2.7 seconds to recover 90% of its height after the load was removed, so turning required a little more effort. After 30 minutes of lying down, the cover rose 5.7°F, confirming that the bed sleeps warmer than the coil models even though the fabric initially feels cool.
What we liked
-
The strongest shoulder and hip cushioning in the lineup, especially during long side-sleeping sessions
-
Excellent motion control for couples who wake easily when the other person changes position
-
A calm, stable surface that works well for reading without the springiness of coils
Who it is best for
-
Lightweight and average-weight side sleepers who want contouring without a deeply sunken feel
-
Couples, solo sleepers, and anyone particularly sensitive to movement
Where it falls short
-
The perimeter compresses more during extended sitting than either coil model
-
Slow recovery makes it less appealing to people who prefer a lively, springy surface
-
It retains more warmth under heavy bedding than the two coil beds

Two Sided Coil Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The 12-inch two-sided model felt the firmest and most upright as soon as we lay down. Hips stayed level during back sleeping, and rolling from side to back required almost no push from the arms. A 44-pound load compressed the center by 1.4 inches and the area 2 inches from the edge by 1.7 inches—the smallest center-to-edge difference in the group. That stability made sitting down, standing up, and using the full width of the mattress feel secure.
The surface recovered 90% of its height in 0.8 seconds after the load was removed, which explains its quick, easy movement. Its temperature rose 3.6°F after 30 minutes, 2.1°F less than the foam bed. The trade-off was motion: the ball-drop trials averaged 0.43 g, and a partner sitting down was easy to feel from the other side. Pressure relief was adequate for short side-sleeping periods, but the firm surface became noticeable at the shoulder during longer sessions.
What we liked
-
The strongest hip and lower-back support in the lineup for back sleeping
-
Fast recovery that makes repeated position changes feel almost effortless
-
The most dependable edge for sitting, standing, and sleeping close to the perimeter
Who it is best for
-
Back sleepers who prefer a flat, firmly supported surface
-
Combination sleepers who turn frequently and dislike slow foam
-
Hot sleepers who want more airflow through the support core
Where it falls short
-
Partner movement travels farther across the surface than it does on the foam model
-
The firm top gives pressure-sensitive shoulders less room to settle

Encased Coil Mattress
Our Testing Experience
This 10.5-inch one-sided model sits between the other two in feel. Its top has more give than the two-sided coil bed, but the encased springs keep the body lifted rather than cradled. The 44-pound load compressed the center by 1.6 inches and the area near the edge by 1.9 inches. That small difference was noticeable in daily use: scooting to the side and standing up felt stable without the rigid perimeter of the firmer two-sided model.
Recovery to 90% took 1.0 second, so rolling from back to side felt quick and controlled. After 30 minutes, the surface was 4.1°F warmer, placing it between the two-sided coil and foam beds. Motion isolation also landed in the middle, with the ball drops averaging 0.36 g. Side sleeping was comfortable for moderate stretches, but the foam mattress remained the better option when the shoulder or hip needed deeper cushioning.
What we liked
-
A useful balance of cushioning, midsection support, and fast response
-
Stable edges for sitting and getting in or out of bed
-
Smoother back-to-side transitions than the foam mattress
Who it is best for
-
Average-weight back sleepers who want structured support with a little surface give
-
Combination sleepers who dislike slow foam but find the two-sided model too firm
-
People who rely on a steady edge when getting into or out of bed
Where it falls short
-
It allows more partner disturbance than the foam mattress
-
Its comfort layers do not cushion sensitive shoulders as deeply as the foam model

How the Scores Compare
| Mattress | Overall | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foam Mattress | 3.9/5 | 3.8/5 | 4.5/5 | 3.7/5 | 4.4/5 | 3.8/5 | 3.3/5 |
| Two Sided Coil | 4.1/5 | 4.5/5 | 3.9/5 | 3.9/5 | 3.3/5 | 4.3/5 | 4.2/5 |
| Encased Coil | 4.0/5 | 4.4/5 | 3.9/5 | 3.8/5 | 3.4/5 | 4.1/5 | 4.2/5 |
The Two Sided Coil earned the highest overall score on the strength of its support, edge stability, and sturdy construction. The Foam Mattress led decisively in pressure relief and motion isolation. The Encased Coil did not win a category, but it stayed close to the leaders in most of them, making it the most balanced option for shoppers who want some cushioning without giving up coil response.
Which MyPillow Mattress Should You Choose?
Start with your primary sleep position and how often you move. Side sleepers who need the shoulder and hip to sink in should choose the Foam Mattress. Back sleepers and people who change positions frequently will get stronger alignment and quicker movement from the coil models. Choose the Two Sided Coil if firm support and edge strength matter most; choose the Encased Coil if you want a little more surface cushioning.
Temperature and partner disturbance can break the tie. The two coil beds allowed more airflow and stayed cooler, while the foam model did the best job of keeping movement on one side of the bed. If you regularly sit at the perimeter, either coil model is the safer choice.
What to Consider Before Buying
All three mattresses lean supportive, and the lineup does not include a truly plush option. The coil models can feel too firm under pressure-sensitive shoulders, while the foam bed gives up edge stability and some temperature control to gain deeper cushioning. MyPillow’s six-month money-back period is generous compared with many retail beds, but it is shorter than the full-year trials offered by the alternatives below. Pricing also changes frequently, so compare the final cart price rather than relying on a headline discount.
How MyPillow Compares With Three Alternatives
Why choose MyPillow: The lineup makes the trade-offs easy to understand. The Foam Mattress favors contouring and motion control, while both coil models favor support, airflow, and easy movement. All three arrive compressed by FedEx, and the two coil options provide firmer edges than many boxed foam beds.
Saatva Classic: Saatva is the better fit if you want to choose among three comfort levels and two heights or prefer in-room setup instead of unboxing a mattress yourself. Its 365-night trial and lifetime warranty are substantially longer than MyPillow’s coverage, though a return or exchange carries a $99 processing fee. It also costs more than the MyPillow coil beds.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid: The 12-inch DreamCloud is the closer value comparison for the Two Sided Coil. Both have a firm, responsive feel, but DreamCloud adds a quilted foam top and offers a 365-night trial with a Forever Warranty. Its queen price was $699 when checked, well below the current MyPillow list prices, though promotional pricing can change.
Nectar Premier Memory Foam: The 13-inch Nectar Premier gives foam fans a deeper, more enveloping contour than the MyPillow Foam Mattress. It also includes a 365-night trial and Forever Warranty. Its queen price was $999 when checked. Choose MyPillow for a steadier, less deeply cradled foam feel; choose Nectar when pressure relief and a longer trial matter more.
How to Get the Best Results
-
Give the mattress several nights before deciding whether its firmness works for you.
-
Use a breathable protector and lighter comforter on the foam model to limit heat buildup.
-
Choose a coil model if you sit at the edge every day or need extra leverage when standing.
-
Rotate the mattress on a regular schedule to distribute wear, especially if you sleep on the same side each night.
-
Use a stable foundation; flexible or uneven support can change how the mattress feels and wears.
-
Choose the foam model if partner movement is one of your main sleep disruptions.
FAQs
Which MyPillow mattress is best for side sleepers?
The Foam Mattress is the clear choice. It produced the deepest shoulder and hip cushioning and the highest pressure-relief score, making it the best fit for lightweight and average-weight side sleepers.
Do the coil models have better edge support than the foam model?
Yes. Both coil mattresses compressed less near the perimeter and felt steadier while sitting and standing. The foam model was comfortable for sleeping near the edge but less secure during extended sitting.
Which mattress isolates motion best?
The Foam Mattress isolates movement best. Its ball-drop trials produced the lowest vibration reading, while both coil beds transferred more motion when someone shifted or sat down.
