NEWay Mattress is a family-owned mattress retailer in South Ogden, Utah. Over four weeks, our team tested four models we were able to try at the store for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability. Below are the picks that stood out for side sleepers, firmer-feel shoppers, and anyone who hates feeling “stuck” in foam.
Table of Contents
Product overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helix Sunset Luxe | 4.3 | Big pressure relief, strong edge confidence | Too plush for heavier stomach sleepers | Side sleepers who want a soft feel |
| Puffy Lux Hybrid | 4.3 | Plush comfort with stable edges | Deep sink can feel “slow” | Combo sleepers who like a cushioned top |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Hybrid | 4.2 | Noticeably supportive through the midsection | Firmer surface can feel flatter on shoulders | Back/stomach sleepers who want structure |
| Therapedic SP 3000 Firm | 4.1 | Firm, steady, low “wobble” feel | Less immediate plushness | People who want a simpler, firmer build |
Testing team takeaways
Across four weeks of rotation, the Helix Sunset Luxe was the easiest on shoulders in side sleeping, but it ran too soft for extended stomach time. The Puffy Lux Hybrid delivered the most “hotel plush” feel while still staying secure at the edges. The Serta Perfect Sleeper Hybrid was the most dependable through the midsection and the easiest to move on, while the Therapedic SP 3000 Firm stayed steady and no-fuss for people who want a firm surface.

How we tested it
We cycled through back, side, and stomach sleeping, plus longer “real life” sessions reading and working in bed. Each tester focused on a different angle—pressure at the shoulder/hip, heat buildup, partner disturbance, and ease of movement—then we scored Support, Cooling, Pressure Relief, Motion Isolation, Responsiveness, Edge Support, and Durability on a 1–5 scale using the same routines we outline in our How We Test Mattresses guide on every mattress.
Neway Mattress: our testing experience
Helix Sunset Luxe
Our testing experience
On the Sunset Luxe, my hips settled in fast, and I paid attention to whether my lower back stayed supported when I rolled onto my back. After a few nights, the plush top felt predictable rather than surprising. In our longer side-sleeping sessions, Mia reported noticeably less shoulder pinch, but Marcus called it too soft once he moved to his stomach. Ethan liked how quiet it stayed during movement, though the deep contouring made quick turns take a bit more effort.

Deep pressure relief for side sleeping
-
Strong edge confidence when sitting and lying near the perimeter

Quiet, low-jostle feel during position changes

Heavier stomach sleepers who need firmer hip support

Puffy Lux Hybrid
Our testing experience
The Puffy Lux Hybrid felt “cushioned” right away, especially when reading or working in bed. When I rolled from side to back, there was a soft landing up top and steadier pushback underneath that helped keep my hips from dropping too far. Marcus noted the edge felt secure for sitting, while Mia did best when her pillow height matched the deeper shoulder sink. Ethan liked the comfort, but on restless nights he wanted a quicker, less sink-in surface.
What we liked
-
Plush top that feels comfortable immediately
-
Strong edge feel for sitting and lying near the perimeter
-
Good balance of cushion and support once you settle in

Serta Perfect Sleeper Hybrid
Our testing experience
This was the structure-first bed in our rotation. The cool-to-the-touch cover was obvious at first contact, then faded into the background. On my back, my midsection felt propped up; on my side, my hips stayed more level than on the softer beds, but Mia wanted more give at the shoulder on longer side sessions. Marcus preferred it for stomach sleeping because it resisted the “hammock” feel, and Ethan found it easy to turn on without any sticky resistance.
What we liked
-
Strong midsection support that keeps the torso stable
-
Easy turning and repositioning
-
Cooling features feel immediate at bedtime
Who it is best for
-
Back and stomach sleepers who want a firmer hybrid
-
Heavier sleepers who want to avoid sagging feel
-
Restless sleepers who prioritize easy movement
Where it falls short
-
Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders who need deeper contouring
-
People who want a plush, sink-in feel

Therapedic SP 3000 Firm
Our testing experience
The SP 3000 Firm felt straightforward and stable. The edge held up when I sat to put on socks, and the surface stayed level with less bounce and sway than the softer hybrids. My lower back felt fine on back sleeping, but side sleeping took more careful pillow and knee placement to keep my shoulder and outer hip comfortable. Marcus liked how it resisted sagging, and Ethan appreciated how quickly it recovered after movement.
What we liked
-
Firm, stable feel that resists saggy “hammock” impressions
-
Easy turning and quick recovery after movement
-
Low-jostle, steady surface for light sleepers
Who it is best for
-
Back and stomach sleepers who want a firmer mattress
-
Heavier sleepers who prioritize hip and lumbar support
-
People who dislike the slow, contouring feel of plush foams
Where it falls short
-
Lightweight side sleepers with sensitive shoulders
-
Anyone chasing a soft, pressure-melting top

In our scoring, Helix and Puffy tied for the top overall score but got there in different ways: Helix led on pressure relief, while Puffy felt more balanced across categories. Serta stood out for support and easy movement, and Therapedic leaned firm with strong motion control.
How to choose a Neway mattress
Start with sleep position and how much “hug” you like (see our How to Choose a Mattress guide). In our tests, Helix and Puffy were the softer, pressure-relieving options for side sleepers, while Serta and Therapedic felt firmer and easier to move on for back and stomach sleeping. If you’re heat-sensitive, prioritize breathable covers and quicker-moving foams. If you share a bed (see our Couples Sleep Guide), pay extra attention to motion isolation and edge confidence.
Limitations
This lineup mostly splits into soft vs. firm. The softer beds can under-support heavier stomach sleepers, while the firmer beds can feel flat at the shoulder for lightweight side sleepers. If you’re sensitive at the shoulders, prioritize pressure relief; if you’re chasing alignment, prioritize support and ease of movement.
Neway Mattress vs. alternatives
Neway’s practical advantage is selection: you can compare distinct feels—soft luxury hybrid through firm support beds—without hopping across multiple stores. If you want a more traditional innerspring experience with white-glove delivery and a long home trial, Saatva Classic is a strong alternative. If you want a value-leaning hybrid with a long trial and lifetime warranty, DreamCloud’s hybrid lineup is another straightforward option.
Pro tips for Neway mattresses
-
Give a new mattress 2–3 weeks before you call it “too firm” or “too soft.”
-
On plush models, a knee pillow and a thinner head pillow can help keep hips and neck aligned.
-
On firm models, a breathable topper can reduce shoulder pressure without changing the whole bed.
-
If you sleep hot, start with breathable sheets and lighter bedding before blaming the mattress.
-
Rotate the mattress (if the design allows) during the first few months to keep wear even.
-
If you use an adjustable base, confirm compatibility and pay attention to how the lumbar zone feels when raised.
-
In-store, mimic your real sleep position for at least 5 minutes so your body can settle into the foams.
