Casper Snow Max, GhostBed Massage Hybrid, Denver Mattress Doctor's Choice Plush mattresses — Coils in innerspring mattresses, like these three (clockwise from right) from GhostBed, Denver Mattress, and Casper, add buoyancy and breathability.

Sleek foam mattresses may dominate in the virtual bedrooms of our social feeds, but innerspring mattresses are far more popular in real life. They account for 53 percent of those purchased new since 2015, according to Consumer Reports’ 2023, 2024, and 2025 Mattress Brand Comfort and Satisfaction member surveys of 75,317 mattresses. (Only 24 percent of the purchases were foam mattresses, and just 12 percent were adjustable air, beds the other two categories we test.)

Best Mattresses for: Side Sleepers Back Sleepers Value Couples Motion Isolation

Best Innerspring Mattress

These two innerspring mattresses suit a wide range of sleepers and earn the highest marks in our most important tests.

Best for Side Sleepers

With only one side of the body bearing all the weight, side sleepers especially appreciate cushy pressure relief along with good spine support. This recommended mattress does both handily.

Best for Back Sleepers

With your body weight distributed evenly across the mattress, you need a responsive coil system that cradles your hips and shoulders while still keeping your spine aligned.

Best Value

This CR Recommended mattress isn’t the cheapest in our ratings, but it’s a top performer that delivers great value.

Best for Couples

Sharing an innerspring can be tough if you wake up whenever you feel your partner move. A clever mattress design can help prevent you from filing for a sleep divorce.

Best Motion Isolation

Innerspring mattresses, by definition, are springy, and movements at one spot may be felt at another. But individually wrapped coils and other design tricks can help mute that motion transfer.
