Best mattress for couples

As a couple, you’re faced with tough decisions — among them which mattress you’ll lay your heads on together. You like a bed that’s softer than clouds, but your partner likes something as hard as a rock. Maybe that old memory foam has sunk the two of you sinking toward each other when you’d rather sleep your separate ways.

Relationships are full of compromises, sure. But if you’re tossing and turning all night, it’s time to break up with your old bed. Not each other.

How will my sleep quality improve with a new mattress?

Sharing a bed with someone isn’t all snuggles and butterflies. It can make for a lot of tossing and turning, neck and shoulder pain and maybe even an elbow to the face — no matter how much your partner swears they don’t remember it.

While we can’t guarantee that a new bed will keep the covers where they belong, we can help you find a mattress that gets you both sleeping soundly.

Bottom line

If you wake up grumpy, your saggy old bed might be to blame. Not your partner. Do your relationship — and sex life — a favor by upgrading your mattress to something that’s better suited to both of your needs.

Not sure which mattress is the right pick for you and your love? Compare a range of online mattress brands before making a decision.

Frequently asked questions

• What’s the ideal mattress size for a couple?

  Queen is the default standard size for most couples. If you’re stuck on a full, upgrading to a larger mattress could help you both sleep better. If you have kids or pets who regularly share the bed, springing for a king or California king provides yet more room.

• What is motion isolation?

  It’s how effective a mattress keeps you from waking every time your partner rolls over in bed. If your bed doesn’t isolate movement well, you’ll feel every little move they make.

• What is a dual mattress?

  Dual mattresses allow you to customize each side of the bed to cater to the different needs of you and your partner. Helix is a brand offering such a mattress, providing the option to personalize firmness levels so that you don’t have to compromise.
