Below, you\u2019ll find ten of the best coil-free mattress options available in 2023. We chose these products after assessing a broad range of spring mattress alternatives under various criteria, including value for money, material quality, comfort, support, pressure relief, temperature control, and durability. Therefore, any of the mattresses on this list are a great deal and should provide many years of comfortable sleeping.<\/p>\n
However, not every mattress on this list will suit every individual. Which one you should pick depends on a broad range of considerations. Some people will require a firm mattress without springs, while others may be happier with a plush model or an organic latex bed. We’ll explain more about how to choose the right bed for you in our buyer’s guide later in the article.<\/p>\n
1. Loom and Leaf – Best Non Spring Mattress (Editor’s Choice)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Loom_and_Leaf_mattress-1.jpg\")
The Loom and Leaf mattress is the brainchild of the popular mattress retailer Saatva.<\/strong><\/em> Of all the beds in this article, the Saatva is our favorite mattress without metal springs. It offers an impressive range of premium features for a fair price tag.<\/p>\nThis mattress comes in two firmness settings. You can choose between ‘relaxed firm,’ which is Saatva\u2019s term for medium-firm, and firm. We recommend the relaxed firm option for most sleepers because it combines the support that front and back sleepers need with exceptional pressure relief for side sleepers. However, if you have a higher body weight and sleep on your front or back, the firm version may suit you well.<\/p>\n
This mattress is environmentally friendly and made using renewable resources. Its manufacturing process reduces carbon emissions. It’s also a healthy choice for your sleeping environment because it is non-toxic and doesn’t contain any nasty chemical fire barriers. It\u2019s also compatible with any frame or foundation, including adjustable models.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nHigh-Density Foam Foundation:<\/strong> This mattress has a foundation layer made from dense polyfoam that is durable and supportive. It provides a stable base and prevents premature sagging while giving you the support you need for your lower back and joints.<\/p>\n5lb Foam Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense foundation is a layer of 5lb high-density memory foam. This layer prevents you from coming into contact with the stiffer foundation and provides extra support for your lumbar region. It also improves the bed’s conforming ability, allowing it to mold comfortably to your body and release tension.<\/p>\nGel Comfort Layer:<\/strong> The top comfort layer features cooling gel-infused memory foam for exceptional temperature control and pressure relief. It has an extra support zone around the lower back to keep your spine in a healthy alignment and reduce discomfort and strain.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress\u2019 cover is made from a soft, cooling organic cotton material with an antimicrobial treatment to keep your bed fresh. This treatment is made from natural botanical ingredients, and there\u2019s also a natural fire barrier derived from thistles. Therefore, this bed is free from chemical flame retardants and other undesirable substances.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Zoned lumbar support<\/li>\n

2. Puffy Lux (Best Cheap Spring Free Mattress)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Puffy_mattress-1.jpg\")
We recommend this bed for most of our readers because it has a comfortable medium firmness that should suit most sleeping styles and builds. It\u2019s 12 inches thick, somewhat thicker than average for its category. Overall, the Puffy Lux should provide an ideal sleeping environment for almost anyone.<\/p>\n
This mattress accommodates all sleepers pretty well because it combines a highly supportive polyfoam base layer with pressure-relieving memory foam comfort layers. Therefore, it provides the robust back support that heavier individuals need without applying joint pressure if you have an average or light bodyweight. It is supportive enough for front and back sleeping while allowing deep enough compression for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n
This ability to meet most people’s needs makes the Puffy Lux a good choice for combi sleepers (people who change between two or more positions while they sleep) and couples who can’t agree on what makes a comfortable mattress. Its all-foam construction also limits motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other, so you shouldn’t feel your partner moving around or fidgeting while you try to get a good night’s sleep. It’s virtually silent, so you won’t get the irritating squeaking that you’d expect from a coil spring mattress.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Puffy Lux\u2019s dense structure allows it to resist dust mites, so it’s an excellent pick for those with dust allergies. It’s also free from latex and carries the Certi-Pur certification, so it doesn’t contain any VOCs or harmful chemicals that could make you unwell. This feature also means that you\u2019ll experience less unpleasant off-gassing, a common problem with memory foam, than you would with most of its competitors.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nDense Polyfoam Core:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux mattress starts with a 7-inch core layer of dense, supportive polyfoam that provides exceptional lumbar and joint support. This layer is somewhat thicker than average for a memory foam bed and makes it more supportive than many of its competitors.<\/p>\nPolyfoam Transition Layer:<\/strong> The transition layer features 2 inches of polyfoam at a lower density than the support core. This layer acts as a bridge between the comfort system and the core. It provides extra cushioning, stopping your body from sinking through the softer memory foam layers and contacting the dense layer below.<\/p>\nGel Foam Comfort System:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux’s comfort system has a dual-layered design. The the1.5-inch lower polyfoam layer is less dense than the layers below and offers comfortable padding and support. The layer above features 1.5 inches of soft, adaptable memory foam that can conform to your body to prevent painful or uncomfortable pressure. This layer contains tiny gel particles that carry away body heat to keep you cool and comfortable, allowing for better temperature regulation than most memory foam beds.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Incredible back support<\/li>\n
- Deep pressure relief<\/li>\n
- Suits most sleeping styles and builds<\/li>\n
- Decent temperature control<\/li>\n
- High-quality materials<\/li>\n

3. Idle Gel Foam<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Idle_Mattress.jpg\")
The Idle Gel Foam mattress is one of our favorite non-coil mattress products for people who are on a very tight budget. It has a super-comfortable medium feel that should suit most sleeping positions and body types. It\u2019s firm enough to support front and back sleeping but also provides deep pressure relief for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n
The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 12-inch thickness profile, making it above average for a memory foam mattress and more supportive than many of its competitors. Its all-foam construction provides excellent motion isolation and noise control for couples who don’t want to be disturbed at night.<\/p>\n
If you need a softer mattress, Idle Sleep also sells a plush bed without coils that offers many of the same benefits. This mattress is an ideal option for side sleepers with very low body weights or low body fat percentages that find a medium mattress puts uncomfortable pressure on their joints.<\/p>\n
The most impressive feature of the Idle Sleep mattress range is its incredible returns policy. All Idle Sleep mattresses come with an exceptional 18-month sleep trial, the most extended period available in the industry. This trial takes the risk out of buying a mattress online by allowing you a generous timeframe to get used to your new bed and return it if you don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nDense Foam Foundation:<\/strong> Like most mattresses of its type, the Idle Sleep Gel Foam mattress begins with a layer of ultra-dense polyfoam for back and joint support. This layer measures 7-inches thick, above average for a typical memory foam bed, and has a significantly higher density than most of its competitors. Therefore, it provides outstanding support and improved durability.<\/p>\nPerforated Transition Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense base, you’ll find a 2-inch layer of transitional polyfoam. This layer stops you from sinking through to the hard foam below and provides a little extra support. It also features perforations for added ventilation, making the mattress’s structure more breathable and improving temperature control.<\/p>\nIdle Cooling Buoyancy Foam:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 3-inch comfort system made from the company\u2019s unique Cooling Buoyancy foam. This foam is more responsive than regular memory foam with a little more bounce, but it still provides outstanding pressure relief and comfort. It features a cooling gel infusion to prevent overheating at night.<\/p>\nWashable Cover:<\/strong> Finally, a quilted fabric cover that can react to your body heat helps keep you cool and comfortable. However, it can also warm you up in chilly temperatures. Unlike many of its competitors, you can unzip the Idle Gel Foam\u2019s cover and wash it to keep your bed fresh and clean. There\u2019s also a natural fire barrier, so you don\u2019t need to worry about inhaling any harmful chemical flame retardants.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Medium firmness suits most sleeping positions and builds<\/li>\n

4. Saatva Zenhaven<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Zenhaven_mattress.jpg\")
The Zenhaven mattress is an ideal option if you want a non-spring mattress made from 100% natural latex. While it\u2019s not the most affordable mattress available, its high-quality and natural materials justify the high price tag. If you can\u2019t afford to pay for your Zenhaven bed in one go, you can take advantage of the company’s 0% monthly financing options through Klarna if you meet the lending criteria.<\/p>\n
The Zenhaven has an unusual flappable structure that lets you pick between two firmness settings: ‘luxury plush,’ which translates as medium-soft, and ‘gentle firm,’ which is medium-firm. We recommend the gentle firm side for most sleepers because it provides the support and pressure relief that you need in any sleeping position. However, the luxury plush side may be a better option if you have a low body fat percentage or suffer from joint pressure and discomfort on a firmer bed.<\/p>\n
Unlike many no-spring mattresses, the Saatva Zenhaven mattress has five distinct support zones to encourage your spine into the best possible alignment. This structure provides outstanding support for your lower back while offering the softness you need for pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nTalalay Latex Support Core:<\/strong> The Zenhaven\u2019s support core features layers of highly dense natural Talalay latex foam. These layers are naturally breathable to help you sleep cool yet provide the robust support you need to minimize joint and back pain.<\/p>\nZoned Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress features a 100% natural latex comfort layer that provides a cozy yet cooling sleeping surface. It can adapt to your body to provide maximum pressure point relief. The comfort layer features a 100% natural latex foam layer that feels comfortable to sleep on without overheating. It can adapt to your curves for maximum pressure point relief. This layer has five supportive zones that feel firmer around your lower back and softer in high-pressure areas like the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\nNew Zealand Wool:<\/strong> You’ll find a layer of organic, chemical-free New Zealand wool underneath the top cover. This layer provides a little extra cushioning and makes the mattress more breathable for added temperature control. It also has moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable in hot weather. This layer acts as a natural fire barrier, so there’s no need for any potentially harmful flame-retardant chemicals.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Zenhaven has a comfortable, quilted organic cotton cover. This material is exceptionally breathable and won\u2019t trigger any night-time allergies. Saatva treats this cover with a botanical agent called Guardin to guard against bacteria and other microbes.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Feels comfortable in any position<\/li>\n

5. EOS Trilux Organic Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/EOS_Classic_Organic_Mattress.jpg\")
This high-quality organic latex mattress is one of our top springless mattress options for couples. It comes with a split firmness option, which means that each partner can select their preferred firmness for their own side of the bed. It has the widest selection of firmness settings of any mattress on our list, with a full range from ultra-soft to extra-firm. Therefore, everyone should be able to find an EOS Trilux Organic mattress firmness setting to suit their sleep style and build.<\/p>\n
The springless construction of the EOS Trilux mattress also means that it is virtually silent, and it resists motion transfer across the surface of the bed. Therefore, you shouldn\u2019t feel your partner tossing and turning in the night or getting up for late-night restroom visits.<\/p>\n
This bed is also an excellent choice for people who want a mattress without coils and\u00a0 wish to avoid memory foam<\/a>, polyfoam, and synthetic ingredients. It features 100% natural materials, including organic latex, wool, and cotton. This construction also means that the mattress provides superior temperature control and is hypoallergenic, perfect for people with dust allergies. There\u2019s also a wool-free vegan version if you follow a plant-based lifestyle.<\/p>\nKey Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nCustomizable Latex Layers:<\/strong> Each EOS Trilux mattress starts with three 3″ layers of supportive organic latex foam, adding up to 9 inches of latex altogether. You can unzip the cover and swap the layers around to change your bed’s firmness and feel to suit your unique needs. You can also change the internal layers for free for the first 90 days.

6. Plushbeds Natural Bliss Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Plushbeds_mattress.jpg\")
The Plushbeds Natural Bliss mattress is an excellent option if you’re looking for a vegan coil-free mattress because it’s free from wool and other animal products. It gets its support from 100% natural latex foam that’s supportive and breathable. It’s also relatively affordable for a natural latex bed, although it’s still quite pricey. However, there are monthly financing arrangements available if you qualify.<\/p>\n
This mattress can accommodate almost any sleeping position and body type because it comes in a full firmness range: soft, medium, medium-firm, and firm. We recommend the soft and medium settings for lighter side sleepers who need maximum pressure relief, while the firm version is best for heavier back and front sleepers who need full support. The medium-firm setting should suit almost anyone and is a great choice for couples with varying sleep styles or body types.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nOrganic Support Core:<\/strong> The Natural Bliss mattress’s support core features 100% organic Arpico latex that provides exceptional lumbar support and encourages your spine into an ideal alignment. While it is ultra-supportive, it’s also relatively breathable to stop you from overheating at night.<\/p>\nLatex Comfort Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense support core comes a comfort layer featuring 100% natural latex.

The result is a safe and healthy mattress that still meets all federal fire safety standards.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Natural Bliss mattress has a knitted fabric cover made from organic cotton.

7. Ghostbed<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ghostbed_mattress.jpg\")
This super-affordable latex and memory foam bed is ideal for people who want a foam mattress without springs on a tight budget. The Ghostbed mattress combines a dense polyfoam core, adaptable gel-infused memory foam, and breathable latex foam to create a spring-free mattress that\u2019s incredibly cooling and supportive.<\/p>\n
The Ghostbed is available in medium-firm only. However, this firmness setting should suit most sleepers and bodies pretty well because it provides the ideal balance of support and pressure relief. It\u2019s a little firmer than some other medium-firm mattresses we\u2019ve reviewed, so we recommend it for average and heavier sleepers in any position. It may feel a bit too firm for slimmer individuals who sleep on their sides.<\/p>\n
This mattress is an excellent choice for couples because it provides superior motion isolation and doesn’t make any annoying squeaking or creaking noises when you move around. It’s also flexible enough to use on an adjustable bed or any other supportive frame or foundation.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nHigh-Density Support Core:<\/strong> The Ghostbed mattress starts with a supportive foundation made from 7.5 inches of high-density polyfoam. This base has a pretty firm feel and provides robust spinal support, but it doesn\u2019t feel too hard to sleep on comfortably. This layer provides the bed with a stable, durable core and encourages optimal spinal alignment.<\/p>\nGel Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Next comes 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam with a cooling open-cell structure. This structure, combined with the gel particles, allows heat to escape so that you don\u2019t end up hot and sweaty. It also adapts to your body to provide cushioning comfort and prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\nAerated Latex Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress has a 1.5-inch comfort layer made from supportive latex foam that can also adapt to your shape to prevent tension around the hips and shoulders. This layer has an aerated structure to help it sleep cooler, which also gives the bed a pleasantly springy feel. The latex used in the Ghostbed is non-allergenic, making it suitable for people with mild latex allergies. However, we recommend checking with your doctor first if your allergy is severe.<\/p>\nSoft Cover:<\/strong> The Ghostbed has a cover made from a soft viscose\/polyester blend fabric. This material is highly durable and breathable, so it shouldn\u2019t cause overheating. It\u2019s also exceptionally stretchy, allowing it to flex with your body movements so that you can get the most out of the bed\u2019s pressure-relieving abilities.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Suits most sleeping positions<\/li>\n

8. Latex for Less<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Latex_for_Less_mattress.jpg\")
The Latex for Less mattress gives shoppers on tight budgets the opportunity to enjoy the support and breathability of a latex mattress without spending a fortune. While it\u2019s not as cheap as many polyfoam or memory foam springless mattresses, it\u2019s exceptionally affordable for a natural latex bed. If you can\u2019t afford to pay in a lump sum, there are financing deals available if you meet the lending criteria.<\/p>\n
This mattress has an innovative dual-sided structure that allows you to change the firmness at home by simply flipping it over. One side is firm, which provides robust support for heavier front and back sleepers. Meanwhile, the medium side is ideal for most sleeping positions and body types and allows deeper pressure relief for side sleepers.<\/p>\n
You can purchase the Latex for Less mattress in two thickness profiles: 7 inches or 9 inches. Both profiles are somewhat thinner than average, but the 9-inch version should provide enough support for people with average or below-average body weights. However, very heavy individuals may prefer a thicker brand. The thinner version is slightly cheaper and is ideal for children and lighter teens and adults.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nFirm Latex Core:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress starts with a layer of firm, 100% natural Dunlop latex foam. If you prefer a firmer bed, this is the side that you sleep on. If you sleep on the medium side, this layer acts as a support core to encourage a healthy spinal alignment.<\/p>\nMedium Latex Layer:<\/strong> This layer features natural Talalay latex foam with a softer feel and a pleasant amount of bounce. It has a medium firmness that can adapt to your body’s curves and provide the deep shoulder and hip pressure relief you need for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\nNatural Wool Fire Barrier:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress doesn’t contain any potentially harmful chemical or fiberglass flame retardants. Instead, it uses a natural wool layer as a fire barrier that also makes the mattress more breathable and wicks away sweat while you sleep. This feature allows the bed to meet federal fire safety standards while providing a safe, healthy sleeping environment.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> This mattress features an unwoven stretch cotton cover that\u2019s certified organic and pesticide-free. The material feels delightfully soft and cozy and provides a comfortable sleeping surface.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Dual-firmness<\/li>\n

9. Essentia Tatami<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Essentia_Tatami_mattress.jpg\")
The Tatami mattress by Essentia is an excellent option for people with latex allergies that still want the contouring and breathability of organic latex foam. The manufacturer removes the allergy-causing proteins from the latex to create an entirely hypoallergenic sleeping environment.<\/p>\n
The Tatami mattress combines hypoallergenic latex foam with memory foam for an outstanding balance of support and pressure relief. It’s relatively expensive, although we think it comes at a fair price considering its broad range of premium features. If you believe the Tatami mattress is right for you, but you’re on a tight budget, there are financing options available. Essentia offers 0% APR financing arrangements through third-part lender Affirm if you meet the borrowing criteria.<\/p>\n
Essentia describes the firmness of the Tatami mattress as ‘mid contour,’ which we assessed to be medium to medium-firm. It provides the reliable support you need for a healthy spinal alignment with a softer, more adaptable comfort layer that reduces pressure and provides a soothing sleeping surface. This firmness should suit most sleeping positions and builds and is an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, you may find it too firm for comfort if you have a low body fat percentage, especially if you sleep on your side.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nLatex Support Foam:<\/strong> The Tatami mattress has a 7-inch support core made from natural, organic Hevea latex foam. This material provides a stable base for the bed and offers outstanding spinal support, encouraging a healthy spinal alignment. While the support is relatively robust, this layer can adapt to your body shape to prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\nNatural Memory Foam:<\/strong> This mattress features a 1-inch natural memory foam comfort layer that gently cradles your body for maximum pressure relief. It provides soothing cushioning around high-pressure areas like the hips and shoulders, ensuring a comfortable night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Tatami has a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover that feels pleasantly soft to the touch. It\u2019s highly breathable, allowing heat to escape and keeping you at a comfortable temperature while you sleep. The cover features a convenient zipper so that you can remove and launder it to keep your bedding fresh.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Suits most sleeping positions<\/li>\n

10. Avocado Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sleepaim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Avocado_Green_Mattress-1.jpg\")
The Avocado Latex mattress is one of the best non-spring mattress options if you prefer a firm bed. It measures around 7.5 on the mattress firmness scale, making it ideal for front and back sleepers and those that want a bouncier, more responsive all-foam bed. However, we don\u2019t recommend it for average weight or lighter side sleepers.<\/p>\n
This mattress is certified organic and formaldehyde-free, and the production process minimizes waste and carbon emissions. It’s also biodegradable, so you don’t need to worry about contributing to the landfill problem further down the line when it’s time to replace your bed. Therefore, the Avocado Latex mattress is exceptionally environmentally friendly. It\u2019s also safe and non-toxic, providing the healthiest possible sleeping environment.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nConvoluted Latex Foam:<\/strong> The Avocado Latex mattress provides outstanding back support thanks to its convoluted latex foam core. Each layer has a wavy design that allows the mattress to conform slightly to your body and allows a little bounce without feeling too responsive. This feature also makes the bed more breathable and minimizes motion transfer, which is great news for couples.<\/p>\nZoned Support:<\/strong> This mattress has firmer support in the midsection, providing outstanding back support and encouraging the best possible spinal alignment. It\u2019s softer at the end sections to provide the pressure relief you need around the shoulders and hips, reducing joint tension and discomfort.<\/p>\nHand Tufting:<\/strong> Every Avocado mattress features hand-tufted wool rosettes to hold the mattress together.

Why You Should Consider A Mattress Without Springs<\/strong><\/h2>\nSpring mattresses may feel uncomfortable for certain sleepers. People with low body fat percentages may find that a spring mattress doesn’t let their body sink in deeply enough, putting uncomfortable pressure on their joints. Even individuals with an average or higher body weight may find that a spring mattress doesn’t provide adequate pressure relief.<\/p>\n
Another common problem with spring mattresses is that they have a lot of open spaces inside. While these spaces make spring mattresses cool and breathable, they also provide an opportunity for a dust mite infestation, which could be especially problematic for people with dust allergies. A hypoallergenic foam or latex mattress has a denser structure that stops dust mites from burrowing inside.<\/p>\n
Some couples also find spring mattresses unsuitable because they transfer motion across the sleeping surface, which means you may feel your partner shifting around or getting up to use the bathroom. While pocket-sprung mattresses isolate movement better than those with continuous coils, they are unlikely to isolate motion as effectively as an all-foam bed.<\/p>\n
Finally, spring mattresses tend to sag sooner than their foam counterparts. While a pocket-sprung mattress will be more durable than a continuous coil model, it will most likely have a slightly shorter lifespan than a memory foam bed and a significantly shorter lifespan than a latex mattress.<\/p>\n
Types of Spring Free Mattresses<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you’re keen to avoid coils, there’s good news- there are plenty of spring-free options available. Before choosing a brand or model, it’s essential to know the different spring-free mattress types and what they mean for your sleep and comfort. The main types of non-coil mattresses are as follows:<\/p>\n
1. Polyfoam<\/strong><\/h3>\nPolyfoam is short for polyurethane foam. It is an exceptionally affordable material if you want to buy a spring-free mattress on a budget. Many innerspring mattresses have comfort layers made from polyurethane foam, so you may have already experienced sleeping on this material without realizing it.<\/p>\n
A mattress made entirely from polyfoam usually has a layer of high-density foam at the base to provide support and one or more layers of softer foam above for pressure relief and comfortable cushioning.<\/p>\n
Polyfoam mattresses have the advantage of being dust mite resistant. They also do a decent job of minimizing motion isolation so that you aren’t disturbed by your partner’s movements at night.<\/p>\n
However, there are a few disadvantages to polyfoam mattresses. Very cheap polyfoam beds may contain harmful chemicals, so it’s crucial to choose a USA-made bed certified as containing very low levels of any toxic substances. This type of bed also tends to have pretty weak edge support and may not be as durable as other mattresses.<\/p>\n
2. Memory Foam<\/strong><\/h3>\nMemory foam<\/a> is a specially-engineered polyfoam originally invented by NASA to provide comfort and protection in aircraft seats. Pioneered as a mattress material by Tempur-Pedic<\/a>, it is now best-known for providing cradling comfort to sleepers. However, you can buy a wide range of memory foam products nowadays, including padded bath mats, cushions, and even slippers.<\/p>\nThe most significant advantage of memory foam is that it can react to your body heat, allowing it to mold closely to your shape. This feature makes it exceptionally comfortable and relieves pressure, including around the shoulders and hips. Therefore, many people who suffer from painful joints find that memory foam mattresses provide much-needed relief.<\/p>\n
Memory foam mattresses are dust-mite resistant and offer outstanding motion isolation, which means they dampen movement across the bed. Therefore, they’re popular with couples who want to get an undisturbed night’s rest.<\/p>\n
However, there are some potential drawbacks to owning a memory foam mattress. Memory foam has a dense structure that acts as a heat trap, which could cause you to sleep uncomfortably warm. However, many modern manufacturers reduce this problem by engineering their foams to be more breathable. If you sleep hot but like the idea of a memory foam bed, try looking for breathable, \u2018open-cell\u2019 foams and heat-wicking infusions such as gel or copper.<\/p>\n
Memory foam beds can also produce an unpleasant off-gassing smell when you first unpack them and may contain potentially harmful chemicals. The smell should disappear with a thorough airing, but it’s essential to only buy from the USA and Canada and check your bed carries a certification like GreenGuard-Gold or Certi-Pur to make sure it is non-toxic.<\/p>\n
You may find that memory foam lacks edge support and durability, although mattresses containing higher-density foams can be impressively long-lasting. Some people also dislike the feeling of sinking into the bed, which some describe as ‘sinking into quicksand.’ Ultimately, whether you like the sensation of sleeping on memory foam is a matter of personal taste. If you want to avoid memory foam, you can check out our favorite mattresses without memory foam here<\/a>.<\/p>\n3. Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\nLatex mattresses are the most expensive in the world of non-spring mattresses, but they offer an incredible range of benefits that many sleepers will enjoy. Latex is a natural material that offers the same pros as memory foam but without many drawbacks. It’s also exceptionally durable, so you should consider a latex bed to be a long-term investment.<\/p>\n
Unlike memory foam beds, latex mattresses tend to sleep relatively cool because they have a breathable structure. They are relatively adaptable, allowing your body to sink in comfortably and relieving pressure. They\u2019re also dust mite-resistant, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n
However, not all latex is created equal. If you choose a mattress containing cheaper synthetic latex, it may contain certain chemicals that you wouldn\u2019t want in your sleeping environment and release an off-gassing odor. Therefore, it’s essential to look for a natural or organic latex mattress to be sure of getting a healthy product.<\/p>\n
While there are few drawbacks of a latex mattress, the cost may be off-putting to some shoppers. There are plenty of fairly-priced, budget-friendly options available, but they are still likely to be more expensive than other mattress types. Most models are also unsuitable for people with latex allergies. However, some companies remove the latex proteins that trigger allergic reactions to make them safe for latex allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n
How to Choose The Best Mattress Without Coils<\/strong><\/h2>\nOnce you’ve decided which mattress type is best for you, it’s time to consider other factors to get the best product for you. The different features, firmnesses, and jargon you\u2019ll encounter when trying to \u00a0buy a mattress without coils can make your head spin, but help is at hand. In this section, we\u2019ll talk you through the process step by step to help you choose your ideal spring-free bed.<\/p>\n
1. Choose Your Firmness<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe first step towards choosing the correct mattress brand and model is to figure out which firmness you need. While you may assume that a soft mattress is always the most comfortable option, which firmness you choose comes down to your body type and sleeping preferences. So, which firmness should you pick?<\/p>\n
\n- Soft<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most people don\u2019t need a soft mattress, and many will find an ultra-plush bed unsupportive. However, side sleepers with very low body fat percentages often find a soft mattress comfortable because it can relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders, even if you have bony joints.<\/p>\n
\n- Medium<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium mattresses suit most sleepers relatively well because they provide a decent balance of support and pressure relief. Generally, they\u2019re a good choice for light and average-weight sleepers in any position. However, people with higher bodyweights may require firmer support, especially if they sleep on their front or back.<\/p>\n
\n- Medium-Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium-firm mattresses are easy to come by because a lot of mattress companies choose this as their only firmness setting. That’s because almost everyone should find a medium-firm mattress comfortable regardless of their sleeping style or build. You’ll sometimes hear medium-firm mattresses referred to under other names, including ‘universal comfort’ or ‘luxury firm.’ These beds are an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, side sleepers with low body weights may find them too firm.<\/p>\n
\n- Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Firm mattresses are most suitable for people who sleep on their front or back who have back pain. They are highly supportive, but they are likely to feel too hard for most side sleepers. Firm mattresses can be a good choice if you have a higher-than-average body weight.<\/p>\n
\n- Extra-Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Extra-firm mattresses are usually too firm for most people to feel comfortable, and you shouldn\u2019t believe the myth that an extra-firm mattress is always best for back pain. However, this type of bed can be helpful if you sleep on your front or back and have a very high body weight and lower back discomfort. Generally, we don\u2019t recommend buying an extra-firm mattress unless your doctor or chiropractor tells you it\u2019s necessary. You may hear extra-firm mattresses called \u2018orthopedic\u2019 beds.<\/p>\n
\n- Split or Dual Firmness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you and your partner have different sleep needs and don’t think a universal comfort mattress is right for you, a split firmness mattress could provide the solution. Not all manufacturers offer split firmness, but this option allows each partner to pick the feel of their side of the bed.<\/p>\n
If you’re unsure which firmness you need, a dual-firmness mattress could be a suitable option. Dual-firmness mattresses have a different firmness on each side, allowing you to change the feel by flipping it over. For example, you can buy beds that are medium on one side and firm on the other. You can also purchase customizable mattresses that allow you to personalize the firmness in your own home by unzipping the cover and rearranging the layers. However, this type of mattress is relatively rare.<\/p>\n
2. Check for Durability<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s important to check that any mattress you\u2019re considering is durable and long-lasting, or you could end up having to shell out on a replacement sooner than you may like. Fortunately, there are plenty of durable beds without springs available.<\/p>\n
If durability is the most critical factor for you, a latex mattress is the longest-lasting non-spring mattress type available. While latex is relatively costly, it could save you money in the long run and allow you to avoid the hassle of replacing your bed after just a few years.<\/p>\n
If you prefer a polyfoam or memory foam mattress, you should pick a bed that uses dense, durable foams. Check reviews carefully to determine what lifespan you should expect from any bed you’re considering. You can find our selection of the most durable mattresses<\/a> here.<\/p>\n3. Look for a Hypoallergenic Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\nFortunately, springless mattress models are less likely to cause allergies than their sprung counterparts because they contain dense foam components. It\u2019s hard for dust mites to penetrate foam mattresses, so you’re less likely to suffer from night-time coughs and sneezes. Spring mattresses contain large internal spaces, ideal environments for dust mites to thrive.<\/p>\n
If you want to buy a latex mattress, you should exercise caution if you have a latex allergy. However, don\u2019t assume that latex is entirely off-limits. Some manufacturers remove the allergy-causing latex proteins from their foams to prevent reactions.<\/p>\n

4. Consider Lifestyle and Ethical Factors<\/strong><\/h3>\nNowadays, many people are keen to make more ethical choices with the products they consume. As veganism and plant-based lifestyles become more popular, many mattress manufacturers now produce vegan-friendly mattresses that are entirely free from animal products.<\/p>\n
If you want to make an environmentally-friendly choice, you’ll find plenty of options in the review section of this article. Organic mattresses are kind to the planet and are also non-toxic and exceptionally safe, although they are more expensive than their non-organic counterparts. However, you may feel that spending a little more is worth it to avoid potentially toxic chemicals. There is no single organic certification for mattresses, so it’s important to check the credentials of each material used.<\/p>\n
5. Check the Certifications<\/strong><\/h3>\nUnfortunately, some manufacturers of no-spring mattresses use potentially toxic chemicals to make their foams. These substances are harmful to the planet and can cause breathing problems and other health issues, especially if you have a pre-existing respiratory complaint like asthma.<\/p>\n
Luckily, it’s relatively easy to find a mattress that is guaranteed safe to sleep on. Various independent bodies test mattresses to check that they don’t release dangerous levels of any chemical or other substance that could make you unwell. Choosing a certified mattress is the simplest way to choose a safe, healthy bed. Certi-Pur<\/a> and GreenGuard Gold<\/a> Gold are the most common certifications, and most high-quality mattresses carry at least one of them.<\/p>\n6. Watch Out for Fiberglass<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany cheap mattresses use fiberglass as a fire barrier, and you\u2019ll find it included in some premium brands as well. While a fire barrier is crucial for safety, fiberglass is an undesirable mattress ingredient because it can cause skin irritation and breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n
The other potential drawback of mattresses with fiberglass is that millions of tiny shards can escape if you remove the cover, causing massive problems in your home. It’s incredibly difficult to clean up fiberglass, and you may need to call in a professional cleaning service to solve the issue. Simply leaving the mattress cover in place is no guarantee of safety because even a tiny hole or tear in the fabric can release a surprising amount of fiberglass into your living space.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, plenty of mattress brands use safe, healthy alternatives to fiberglass that still meet federal fire safety standards. Natural wool and certain plant-based fibers also provide effective fire-retardant properties. None of the mattresses featured in this article contain fiberglass, and you can find plenty more
The Loom and Leaf mattress is the brainchild of the popular mattress retailer Saatva.<\/strong><\/em> Of all the beds in this article, the Saatva is our favorite mattress without metal springs. It offers an impressive range of premium features for a fair price tag.<\/p>\nThis mattress comes in two firmness settings. You can choose between ‘relaxed firm,’ which is Saatva\u2019s term for medium-firm, and firm. We recommend the relaxed firm option for most sleepers because it combines the support that front and back sleepers need with exceptional pressure relief for side sleepers. However, if you have a higher body weight and sleep on your front or back, the firm version may suit you well.<\/p>\n
This mattress is environmentally friendly and made using renewable resources. Its manufacturing process reduces carbon emissions. It’s also a healthy choice for your sleeping environment because it is non-toxic and doesn’t contain any nasty chemical fire barriers. It\u2019s also compatible with any frame or foundation, including adjustable models.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nHigh-Density Foam Foundation:<\/strong> This mattress has a foundation layer made from dense polyfoam that is durable and supportive. It provides a stable base and prevents premature sagging while giving you the support you need for your lower back and joints.<\/p>\n5lb Foam Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense foundation is a layer of 5lb high-density memory foam. This layer prevents you from coming into contact with the stiffer foundation and provides extra support for your lumbar region. It also improves the bed’s conforming ability, allowing it to mold comfortably to your body and release tension.<\/p>\nGel Comfort Layer:<\/strong> The top comfort layer features cooling gel-infused memory foam for exceptional temperature control and pressure relief. It has an extra support zone around the lower back to keep your spine in a healthy alignment and reduce discomfort and strain.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress\u2019 cover is made from a soft, cooling organic cotton material with an antimicrobial treatment to keep your bed fresh. This treatment is made from natural botanical ingredients, and there\u2019s also a natural fire barrier derived from thistles. Therefore, this bed is free from chemical flame retardants and other undesirable substances.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Zoned lumbar support<\/li>\n

2. Puffy Lux (Best Cheap Spring Free Mattress)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\nWe recommend this bed for most of our readers because it has a comfortable medium firmness that should suit most sleeping styles and builds. It\u2019s 12 inches thick, somewhat thicker than average for its category. Overall, the Puffy Lux should provide an ideal sleeping environment for almost anyone.<\/p>\n
This mattress accommodates all sleepers pretty well because it combines a highly supportive polyfoam base layer with pressure-relieving memory foam comfort layers. Therefore, it provides the robust back support that heavier individuals need without applying joint pressure if you have an average or light bodyweight. It is supportive enough for front and back sleeping while allowing deep enough compression for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n
This ability to meet most people’s needs makes the Puffy Lux a good choice for combi sleepers (people who change between two or more positions while they sleep) and couples who can’t agree on what makes a comfortable mattress. Its all-foam construction also limits motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other, so you shouldn’t feel your partner moving around or fidgeting while you try to get a good night’s sleep. It’s virtually silent, so you won’t get the irritating squeaking that you’d expect from a coil spring mattress.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Puffy Lux\u2019s dense structure allows it to resist dust mites, so it’s an excellent pick for those with dust allergies. It’s also free from latex and carries the Certi-Pur certification, so it doesn’t contain any VOCs or harmful chemicals that could make you unwell. This feature also means that you\u2019ll experience less unpleasant off-gassing, a common problem with memory foam, than you would with most of its competitors.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nDense Polyfoam Core:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux mattress starts with a 7-inch core layer of dense, supportive polyfoam that provides exceptional lumbar and joint support. This layer is somewhat thicker than average for a memory foam bed and makes it more supportive than many of its competitors.<\/p>\nPolyfoam Transition Layer:<\/strong> The transition layer features 2 inches of polyfoam at a lower density than the support core. This layer acts as a bridge between the comfort system and the core. It provides extra cushioning, stopping your body from sinking through the softer memory foam layers and contacting the dense layer below.<\/p>\nGel Foam Comfort System:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux’s comfort system has a dual-layered design. The the1.5-inch lower polyfoam layer is less dense than the layers below and offers comfortable padding and support. The layer above features 1.5 inches of soft, adaptable memory foam that can conform to your body to prevent painful or uncomfortable pressure. This layer contains tiny gel particles that carry away body heat to keep you cool and comfortable, allowing for better temperature regulation than most memory foam beds.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Incredible back support<\/li>\n

3. Idle Gel Foam<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Idle Gel Foam mattress is one of our favorite non-coil mattress products for people who are on a very tight budget. It has a super-comfortable medium feel that should suit most sleeping positions and body types. It\u2019s firm enough to support front and back sleeping but also provides deep pressure relief for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n
The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 12-inch thickness profile, making it above average for a memory foam mattress and more supportive than many of its competitors. Its all-foam construction provides excellent motion isolation and noise control for couples who don’t want to be disturbed at night.<\/p>\n
If you need a softer mattress, Idle Sleep also sells a plush bed without coils that offers many of the same benefits. This mattress is an ideal option for side sleepers with very low body weights or low body fat percentages that find a medium mattress puts uncomfortable pressure on their joints.<\/p>\n
The most impressive feature of the Idle Sleep mattress range is its incredible returns policy. All Idle Sleep mattresses come with an exceptional 18-month sleep trial, the most extended period available in the industry. This trial takes the risk out of buying a mattress online by allowing you a generous timeframe to get used to your new bed and return it if you don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nDense Foam Foundation:<\/strong> Like most mattresses of its type, the Idle Sleep Gel Foam mattress begins with a layer of ultra-dense polyfoam for back and joint support. This layer measures 7-inches thick, above average for a typical memory foam bed, and has a significantly higher density than most of its competitors. Therefore, it provides outstanding support and improved durability.<\/p>\nPerforated Transition Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense base, you’ll find a 2-inch layer of transitional polyfoam. This layer stops you from sinking through to the hard foam below and provides a little extra support. It also features perforations for added ventilation, making the mattress’s structure more breathable and improving temperature control.<\/p>\nIdle Cooling Buoyancy Foam:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 3-inch comfort system made from the company\u2019s unique Cooling Buoyancy foam. This foam is more responsive than regular memory foam with a little more bounce, but it still provides outstanding pressure relief and comfort. It features a cooling gel infusion to prevent overheating at night.<\/p>\nWashable Cover:<\/strong> Finally, a quilted fabric cover that can react to your body heat helps keep you cool and comfortable. However, it can also warm you up in chilly temperatures. Unlike many of its competitors, you can unzip the Idle Gel Foam\u2019s cover and wash it to keep your bed fresh and clean. There\u2019s also a natural fire barrier, so you don\u2019t need to worry about inhaling any harmful chemical flame retardants.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Medium firmness suits most sleeping positions and builds<\/li>\n

4. Saatva Zenhaven<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Zenhaven mattress is an ideal option if you want a non-spring mattress made from 100% natural latex. While it\u2019s not the most affordable mattress available, its high-quality and natural materials justify the high price tag. If you can\u2019t afford to pay for your Zenhaven bed in one go, you can take advantage of the company’s 0% monthly financing options through Klarna if you meet the lending criteria.<\/p>\n
The Zenhaven has an unusual flappable structure that lets you pick between two firmness settings: ‘luxury plush,’ which translates as medium-soft, and ‘gentle firm,’ which is medium-firm. We recommend the gentle firm side for most sleepers because it provides the support and pressure relief that you need in any sleeping position. However, the luxury plush side may be a better option if you have a low body fat percentage or suffer from joint pressure and discomfort on a firmer bed.<\/p>\n
Unlike many no-spring mattresses, the Saatva Zenhaven mattress has five distinct support zones to encourage your spine into the best possible alignment. This structure provides outstanding support for your lower back while offering the softness you need for pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nTalalay Latex Support Core:<\/strong> The Zenhaven\u2019s support core features layers of highly dense natural Talalay latex foam. These layers are naturally breathable to help you sleep cool yet provide the robust support you need to minimize joint and back pain.<\/p>\nZoned Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress features a 100% natural latex comfort layer that provides a cozy yet cooling sleeping surface. It can adapt to your body to provide maximum pressure point relief. The comfort layer features a 100% natural latex foam layer that feels comfortable to sleep on without overheating. It can adapt to your curves for maximum pressure point relief. This layer has five supportive zones that feel firmer around your lower back and softer in high-pressure areas like the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\nNew Zealand Wool:<\/strong> You’ll find a layer of organic, chemical-free New Zealand wool underneath the top cover. This layer provides a little extra cushioning and makes the mattress more breathable for added temperature control. It also has moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable in hot weather. This layer acts as a natural fire barrier, so there’s no need for any potentially harmful flame-retardant chemicals.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Zenhaven has a comfortable, quilted organic cotton cover. This material is exceptionally breathable and won\u2019t trigger any night-time allergies.

6. Plushbeds Natural Bliss Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Plushbeds Natural Bliss mattress is an excellent option if you’re looking for a vegan coil-free mattress because it’s free from wool and other animal products. It gets its support from 100% natural latex foam that’s supportive and breathable. It’s also relatively affordable for a natural latex bed, although it’s still quite pricey. However, there are monthly financing arrangements available if you qualify.<\/p>\n
This mattress can accommodate almost any sleeping position and body type because it comes in a full firmness range: soft, medium, medium-firm, and firm. We recommend the soft and medium settings for lighter side sleepers who need maximum pressure relief, while the firm version is best for heavier back and front sleepers who need full support. The medium-firm setting should suit almost anyone and is a great choice for couples with varying sleep styles or body types.<\/p>\n

This material is somewhat softer than the support layer and can mold your body’s shape to reduce tension around the shoulders and hips- ideal for side sleepers.<\/p>\nNatural Fire Barrier:<\/strong> Instead of a chemical fire barrier containing harmful toxins, the Natural Bliss mattress has a natural layer made from plant fibers. It also includes zero fiberglass or any other substance that could damage your health. The result is a safe and healthy mattress that still meets all federal fire safety standards.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Natural Bliss mattress has a knitted fabric cover made from organic cotton.

7. Ghostbed<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis super-affordable latex and memory foam bed is ideal for people who want a foam mattress without springs on a tight budget. The Ghostbed mattress combines a dense polyfoam core, adaptable gel-infused memory foam, and breathable latex foam to create a spring-free mattress that\u2019s incredibly cooling and supportive.<\/p>\n
The Ghostbed is available in medium-firm only. However, this firmness setting should suit most sleepers and bodies pretty well because it provides the ideal balance of support and pressure relief. It\u2019s a little firmer than some other medium-firm mattresses we\u2019ve reviewed, so we recommend it for average and heavier sleepers in any position. It may feel a bit too firm for slimmer individuals who sleep on their sides.<\/p>\n
This mattress is an excellent choice for couples because it provides superior motion isolation and doesn’t make any annoying squeaking or creaking noises when you move around. It’s also flexible enough to use on an adjustable bed or any other supportive frame or foundation.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nHigh-Density Support Core:<\/strong> The Ghostbed mattress starts with a supportive foundation made from 7.5 inches of high-density polyfoam. This base has a pretty firm feel and provides robust spinal support, but it doesn\u2019t feel too hard to sleep on comfortably. This layer provides the bed with a stable, durable core and encourages optimal spinal alignment.<\/p>\nGel Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Next comes 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam with a cooling open-cell structure. This structure, combined with the gel particles, allows heat to escape so that you don\u2019t end up hot and sweaty. It also adapts to your body to provide cushioning comfort and prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\nAerated Latex Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress has a 1.5-inch comfort layer made from supportive latex foam that can also adapt to your shape to prevent tension around the hips and shoulders. This layer has an aerated structure to help it sleep cooler, which also gives the bed a pleasantly springy feel. The latex used in the Ghostbed is non-allergenic, making it suitable for people with mild latex allergies. However, we recommend checking with your doctor first if your allergy is severe.<\/p>\nSoft Cover:<\/strong> The Ghostbed has a cover made from a soft viscose\/polyester blend fabric. This material is highly durable and breathable, so it shouldn\u2019t cause overheating. It\u2019s also exceptionally stretchy, allowing it to flex with your body movements so that you can get the most out of the bed\u2019s pressure-relieving abilities.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Suits most sleeping positions<\/li>\n
- Excellent support<\/li>\n
- Deep pressure relief<\/li>\n
- Cooling sleep technologies<\/li>\n
- Suitable for people with mild latex allergies<\/li>\n

\n- Only available in medium-firm<\/li>\n
- May feel too firm for lighter side sleepers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
8. Latex for Less<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Latex for Less mattress gives shoppers on tight budgets the opportunity to enjoy the support and breathability of a latex mattress without spending a fortune. While it\u2019s not as cheap as many polyfoam or memory foam springless mattresses, it\u2019s exceptionally affordable for a natural latex bed. If you can\u2019t afford to pay in a lump sum, there are financing deals available if you meet the lending criteria.<\/p>\n
This mattress has an innovative dual-sided structure that allows you to change the firmness at home by simply flipping it over. One side is firm, which provides robust support for heavier front and back sleepers. Meanwhile, the medium side is ideal for most sleeping positions and body types and allows deeper pressure relief for side sleepers.<\/p>\n
You can purchase the Latex for Less mattress in two thickness profiles: 7 inches or 9 inches. Both profiles are somewhat thinner than average, but the 9-inch version should provide enough support for people with average or below-average body weights. However, very heavy individuals may prefer a thicker brand. The thinner version is slightly cheaper and is ideal for children and lighter teens and adults.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nFirm Latex Core:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress starts with a layer of firm, 100% natural Dunlop latex foam. If you prefer a firmer bed, this is the side that you sleep on. If you sleep on the medium side, this layer acts as a support core to encourage a healthy spinal alignment.<\/p>\nMedium Latex Layer:<\/strong> This layer features natural Talalay latex foam with a softer feel and a pleasant amount of bounce. It has a medium firmness that can adapt to your body’s curves and provide the deep shoulder and hip pressure relief you need for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\nNatural Wool Fire Barrier:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress doesn’t contain any potentially harmful chemical or fiberglass flame retardants. Instead, it uses a natural wool layer as a fire barrier that also makes the mattress more breathable and wicks away sweat while you sleep. This feature allows the bed to meet federal fire safety standards while providing a safe, healthy sleeping environment.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> This mattress features an unwoven stretch cotton cover that\u2019s certified organic and pesticide-free. The material feels delightfully soft and cozy and provides a comfortable sleeping surface.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Dual-firmness<\/li>\n
- Sleeps most sleep styles and body types<\/li>\n
- Excellent back support<\/li>\n

9. Essentia Tatami<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Tatami mattress by Essentia is an excellent option for people with latex allergies that still want the contouring and breathability of organic latex foam. The manufacturer removes the allergy-causing proteins from the latex to create an entirely hypoallergenic sleeping environment.<\/p>\n
The Tatami mattress combines hypoallergenic latex foam with memory foam for an outstanding balance of support and pressure relief. It’s relatively expensive, although we think it comes at a fair price considering its broad range of premium features. If you believe the Tatami mattress is right for you, but you’re on a tight budget, there are financing options available. Essentia offers 0% APR financing arrangements through third-part lender Affirm if you meet the borrowing criteria.<\/p>\n
Essentia describes the firmness of the Tatami mattress as ‘mid contour,’ which we assessed to be medium to medium-firm. It provides the reliable support you need for a healthy spinal alignment with a softer, more adaptable comfort layer that reduces pressure and provides a soothing sleeping surface. This firmness should suit most sleeping positions and builds and is an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, you may find it too firm for comfort if you have a low body fat percentage, especially if you sleep on your side.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nLatex Support Foam:<\/strong> The Tatami mattress has a 7-inch support core made from natural, organic Hevea latex foam. This material provides a stable base for the bed and offers outstanding spinal support, encouraging a healthy spinal alignment. While the support is relatively robust, this layer can adapt to your body shape to prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\nNatural Memory Foam:<\/strong> This mattress features a 1-inch natural memory foam comfort layer that gently cradles your body for maximum pressure relief. It provides soothing cushioning around high-pressure areas like the hips and shoulders, ensuring a comfortable night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\nOrganic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Tatami has a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover that feels pleasantly soft to the touch. It\u2019s highly breathable, allowing heat to escape and keeping you at a comfortable temperature while you sleep. The cover features a convenient zipper so that you can remove and launder it to keep your bedding fresh.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Suits most sleeping positions<\/li>\n
- Excellent spinal support<\/li>\n
- Comfortable pressure relief<\/li>\n

- Relatively pricey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
10. Avocado Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Avocado Latex mattress is one of the best non-spring mattress options if you prefer a firm bed. It measures around 7.5 on the mattress firmness scale, making it ideal for front and back sleepers and those that want a bouncier, more responsive all-foam bed. However, we don\u2019t recommend it for average weight or lighter side sleepers.<\/p>\n
This mattress is certified organic and formaldehyde-free, and the production process minimizes waste and carbon emissions. It’s also biodegradable, so you don’t need to worry about contributing to the landfill problem further down the line when it’s time to replace your bed. Therefore, the Avocado Latex mattress is exceptionally environmentally friendly. It\u2019s also safe and non-toxic, providing the healthiest possible sleeping environment.<\/p>\n
Key Features<\/strong><\/h4>\nConvoluted Latex Foam:<\/strong> The Avocado Latex mattress provides outstanding back support thanks to its convoluted latex foam core. Each layer has a wavy design that allows the mattress to conform slightly to your body and allows a little bounce without feeling too responsive. This feature also makes the bed more breathable and minimizes motion transfer, which is great news for couples.<\/p>\nZoned Support:<\/strong> This mattress has firmer support in the midsection, providing outstanding back support and encouraging the best possible spinal alignment. It\u2019s softer at the end sections to provide the pressure relief you need around the shoulders and hips, reducing joint tension and discomfort.<\/p>\nHand Tufting:<\/strong> Every Avocado mattress features hand-tufted wool rosettes to hold the mattress together. Therefore, it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or glue to hold the layers together. This construction also makes the bed significantly more durable and stable, so you can trust it to provide long-lasting comfort and support.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/div>\n\n- Zoned back support<\/li>\n
- Decent pressure relief<\/li>\n
- Ideal for front and back sleepers<\/li>\n

- Relatively expensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why You Should Consider A Mattress Without Springs<\/strong><\/h2>\nSpring mattresses may feel uncomfortable for certain sleepers. People with low body fat percentages may find that a spring mattress doesn’t let their body sink in deeply enough, putting uncomfortable pressure on their joints. Even individuals with an average or higher body weight may find that a spring mattress doesn’t provide adequate pressure relief.<\/p>\n
Another common problem with spring mattresses is that they have a lot of open spaces inside. While these spaces make spring mattresses cool and breathable, they also provide an opportunity for a dust mite infestation, which could be especially problematic for people with dust allergies. A hypoallergenic foam or latex mattress has a denser structure that stops dust mites from burrowing inside.<\/p>\n
Some couples also find spring mattresses unsuitable because they transfer motion across the sleeping surface, which means you may feel your partner shifting around or getting up to use the bathroom. While pocket-sprung mattresses isolate movement better than those with continuous coils, they are unlikely to isolate motion as effectively as an all-foam bed.<\/p>\n
Finally, spring mattresses tend to sag sooner than their foam counterparts. While a pocket-sprung mattress will be more durable than a continuous coil model, it will most likely have a slightly shorter lifespan than a memory foam bed and a significantly shorter lifespan than a latex mattress.<\/p>\n
Types of Spring Free Mattresses<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you’re keen to avoid coils, there’s good news- there are plenty of spring-free options available. Before choosing a brand or model, it’s essential to know the different spring-free mattress types and what they mean for your sleep and comfort. The main types of non-coil mattresses are as follows:<\/p>\n
1. Polyfoam<\/strong><\/h3>\nPolyfoam is short for polyurethane foam. It is an exceptionally affordable material if you want to buy a spring-free mattress on a budget. Many innerspring mattresses have comfort layers made from polyurethane foam, so you may have already experienced sleeping on this material without realizing it.<\/p>\n
A mattress made entirely from polyfoam usually has a layer of high-density foam at the base to provide support and one or more layers of softer foam above for pressure relief and comfortable cushioning.<\/p>\n
Polyfoam mattresses have the advantage of being dust mite resistant. They also do a decent job of minimizing motion isolation so that you aren’t disturbed by your partner’s movements at night.<\/p>\n
However, there are a few disadvantages to polyfoam mattresses. Very cheap polyfoam beds may contain harmful chemicals, so it’s crucial to choose a USA-made bed certified as containing very low levels of any toxic substances. This type of bed also tends to have pretty weak edge support and may not be as durable as other mattresses.<\/p>\n
2. Memory Foam<\/strong><\/h3>\nMemory foam<\/a> is a specially-engineered polyfoam originally invented by NASA to provide comfort and protection in aircraft seats. Pioneered as a mattress material by Tempur-Pedic<\/a>, it is now best-known for providing cradling comfort to sleepers. However, you can buy a wide range of memory foam products nowadays, including padded bath mats, cushions, and even slippers.<\/p>\nThe most significant advantage of memory foam is that it can react to your body heat, allowing it to mold closely to your shape. This feature makes it exceptionally comfortable and relieves pressure, including around the shoulders and hips. Therefore, many people who suffer from painful joints find that memory foam mattresses provide much-needed relief.<\/p>\n
Memory foam mattresses are dust-mite resistant and offer outstanding motion isolation, which means they dampen movement across the bed. Therefore, they’re popular with couples who want to get an undisturbed night’s rest.<\/p>\n
However, there are some potential drawbacks to owning a memory foam mattress. Memory foam has a dense structure that acts as a heat trap, which could cause you to sleep uncomfortably warm. However, many modern manufacturers reduce this problem by engineering their foams to be more breathable. If you sleep hot but like the idea of a memory foam bed, try looking for breathable, \u2018open-cell\u2019 foams and heat-wicking infusions such as gel or copper.<\/p>\n
Memory foam beds can also produce an unpleasant off-gassing smell when you first unpack them and may contain potentially harmful chemicals. The smell should disappear with a thorough airing, but it’s essential to only buy from the USA and Canada and check your bed carries a certification like GreenGuard-Gold or Certi-Pur to make sure it is non-toxic.<\/p>\n
You may find that memory foam lacks edge support and durability, although mattresses containing higher-density foams can be impressively long-lasting. Some people also dislike the feeling of sinking into the bed, which some describe as ‘sinking into quicksand.’ Ultimately, whether you like the sensation of sleeping on memory foam is a matter of personal taste. If you want to avoid memory foam, you can check out our favorite mattresses without memory foam here<\/a>.<\/p>\n3. Latex<\/strong><\/h3>\nLatex mattresses are the most expensive in the world of non-spring mattresses, but they offer an incredible range of benefits that many sleepers will enjoy. Latex is a natural material that offers the same pros as memory foam but without many drawbacks. It’s also exceptionally durable, so you should consider a latex bed to be a long-term investment.<\/p>\n
Unlike memory foam beds, latex mattresses tend to sleep relatively cool because they have a breathable structure. They are relatively adaptable, allowing your body to sink in comfortably and relieving pressure. They\u2019re also dust mite-resistant, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n
However, not all latex is created equal. If you choose a mattress containing cheaper synthetic latex, it may contain certain chemicals that you wouldn\u2019t want in your sleeping environment and release an off-gassing odor. Therefore, it’s essential to look for a natural or organic latex mattress to be sure of getting a healthy product.<\/p>\n
While there are few drawbacks of a latex mattress, the cost may be off-putting to some shoppers. There are plenty of fairly-priced, budget-friendly options available, but they are still likely to be more expensive than other mattress types. Most models are also unsuitable for people with latex allergies. However, some companies remove the latex proteins that trigger allergic reactions to make them safe for latex allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n
How to Choose The Best Mattress Without Coils<\/strong><\/h2>\nOnce you’ve decided which mattress type is best for you, it’s time to consider other factors to get the best product for you. The different features, firmnesses, and jargon you\u2019ll encounter when trying to \u00a0buy a mattress without coils can make your head spin, but help is at hand. In this section, we\u2019ll talk you through the process step by step to help you choose your ideal spring-free bed.<\/p>\n
1. Choose Your Firmness<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe first step towards choosing the correct mattress brand and model is to figure out which firmness you need. While you may assume that a soft mattress is always the most comfortable option, which firmness you choose comes down to your body type and sleeping preferences. So, which firmness should you pick?<\/p>\n
\n- Soft<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most people don\u2019t need a soft mattress, and many will find an ultra-plush bed unsupportive. However, side sleepers with very low body fat percentages often find a soft mattress comfortable because it can relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders, even if you have bony joints.<\/p>\n
\n- Medium<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium mattresses suit most sleepers relatively well because they provide a decent balance of support and pressure relief. Generally, they\u2019re a good choice for light and average-weight sleepers in any position. However, people with higher bodyweights may require firmer support, especially if they sleep on their front or back.<\/p>\n
\n- Medium-Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium-firm mattresses are easy to come by because a lot of mattress companies choose this as their only firmness setting. That’s because almost everyone should find a medium-firm mattress comfortable regardless of their sleeping style or build. You’ll sometimes hear medium-firm mattresses referred to under other names, including ‘universal comfort’ or ‘luxury firm.’ These beds are an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, side sleepers with low body weights may find them too firm.<\/p>\n
\n- Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Firm mattresses are most suitable for people who sleep on their front or back who have back pain. They are highly supportive, but they are likely to feel too hard for most side sleepers. Firm mattresses can be a good choice if you have a higher-than-average body weight.<\/p>\n
\n- Extra-Firm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Extra-firm mattresses are usually too firm for most people to feel comfortable, and you shouldn\u2019t believe the myth that an extra-firm mattress is always best for back pain. However, this type of bed can be helpful if you sleep on your front or back and have a very high body weight and lower back discomfort. Generally, we don\u2019t recommend buying an extra-firm mattress unless your doctor or chiropractor tells you it\u2019s necessary. You may hear extra-firm mattresses called \u2018orthopedic\u2019 beds.<\/p>\n
\n- Split or Dual Firmness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you and your partner have different sleep needs and don’t think a universal comfort mattress is right for you, a split firmness mattress could provide the solution. Not all manufacturers offer split firmness, but this option allows each partner to pick the feel of their side of the bed.<\/p>\n
If you’re unsure which firmness you need, a dual-firmness mattress could be a suitable option. Dual-firmness mattresses have a different firmness on each side, allowing you to change the feel by flipping it over. For example, you can buy beds that are medium on one side and firm on the other. You can also purchase customizable mattresses that allow you to personalize the firmness in your own home by unzipping the cover and rearranging the layers. However, this type of mattress is relatively rare.<\/p>\n
2. Check for Durability<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s important to check that any mattress you\u2019re considering is durable and long-lasting, or you could end up having to shell out on a replacement sooner than you may like. Fortunately, there are plenty of durable beds without springs available.<\/p>\n
If durability is the most critical factor for you, a latex mattress is the longest-lasting non-spring mattress type available. While latex is relatively costly, it could save you money in the long run and allow you to avoid the hassle of replacing your bed after just a few years.<\/p>\n
If you prefer a polyfoam or memory foam mattress, you should pick a bed that uses dense, durable foams. Check reviews carefully to determine what lifespan you should expect from any bed you’re considering. You can find our selection of the most durable mattresses<\/a> here.<\/p>\n3. Look for a Hypoallergenic Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\nFortunately, springless mattress models are less likely to cause allergies than their sprung counterparts because they contain dense foam components. It\u2019s hard for dust mites to penetrate foam mattresses, so you’re less likely to suffer from night-time coughs and sneezes. Spring mattresses contain large internal spaces, ideal environments for dust mites to thrive.<\/p>\n
If you want to buy a latex mattress, you should exercise caution if you have a latex allergy. However, don\u2019t assume that latex is entirely off-limits. Some manufacturers remove the allergy-causing latex proteins from their foams to prevent reactions.<\/p>\n
You can find plenty of high-quality hypoallergenic mattresses in the review section of this article. If you want to explore additional options, you can find our favorite hypoallergenic mattresses here.<\/p>\n
4. Consider Lifestyle and Ethical Factors<\/strong><\/h3>\nNowadays, many people are keen to make more ethical choices with the products they consume. As veganism and plant-based lifestyles become more popular, many mattress manufacturers now produce vegan-friendly mattresses that are entirely free from animal products.<\/p>\n
If you want to make an environmentally-friendly choice, you’ll find plenty of options in the review section of this article. Organic mattresses are kind to the planet and are also non-toxic and exceptionally safe, although they are more expensive than their non-organic counterparts. However, you may feel that spending a little more is worth it to avoid potentially toxic chemicals. There is no single organic certification for mattresses, so it’s important to check the credentials of each material used.<\/p>\n
5. Check the Certifications<\/strong><\/h3>\nUnfortunately, some manufacturers of no-spring mattresses use potentially toxic chemicals to make their foams. These substances are harmful to the planet and can cause breathing problems and other health issues, especially if you have a pre-existing respiratory complaint like asthma.<\/p>\n
Luckily, it’s relatively easy to find a mattress that is guaranteed safe to sleep on. Various independent bodies test mattresses to check that they don’t release dangerous levels of any chemical or other substance that could make you unwell. Choosing a certified mattress is the simplest way to choose a safe, healthy bed. Certi-Pur<\/a> and GreenGuard Gold<\/a> Gold are the most common certifications, and most high-quality mattresses carry at least one of them.<\/p>\n6. Watch Out for Fiberglass<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany cheap mattresses use fiberglass as a fire barrier, and you\u2019ll find it included in some premium brands as well. While a fire barrier is crucial for safety, fiberglass is an undesirable mattress ingredient because it can cause skin irritation and breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n
The other potential drawback of mattresses with fiberglass is that millions of tiny shards can escape if you remove the cover, causing massive problems in your home. It’s incredibly difficult to clean up fiberglass, and you may need to call in a professional cleaning service to solve the issue. Simply leaving the mattress cover in place is no guarantee of safety because even a tiny hole or tear in the fabric can release a surprising amount of fiberglass into your living space.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, plenty of mattress brands use safe, healthy alternatives to fiberglass that still meet federal fire safety standards. Natural wool and certain plant-based fibers also provide effective fire-retardant properties. None of the mattresses featured in this article contain fiberglass, and you can find plenty more
5lb Foam Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense foundation is a layer of 5lb high-density memory foam. This layer prevents you from coming into contact with the stiffer foundation and provides extra support for your lumbar region. It also improves the bed’s conforming ability, allowing it to mold comfortably to your body and release tension.<\/p>\n Gel Comfort Layer:<\/strong> The top comfort layer features cooling gel-infused memory foam for exceptional temperature control and pressure relief. It has an extra support zone around the lower back to keep your spine in a healthy alignment and reduce discomfort and strain.<\/p>\n Organic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress\u2019 cover is made from a soft, cooling organic cotton material with an antimicrobial treatment to keep your bed fresh. This treatment is made from natural botanical ingredients, and there\u2019s also a natural fire barrier derived from thistles. Therefore, this bed is free from chemical flame retardants and other undesirable substances.<\/p>\n This mattress accommodates all sleepers pretty well because it combines a highly supportive polyfoam base layer with pressure-relieving memory foam comfort layers. Therefore, it provides the robust back support that heavier individuals need without applying joint pressure if you have an average or light bodyweight. It is supportive enough for front and back sleeping while allowing deep enough compression for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n This ability to meet most people’s needs makes the Puffy Lux a good choice for combi sleepers (people who change between two or more positions while they sleep) and couples who can’t agree on what makes a comfortable mattress. Its all-foam construction also limits motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other, so you shouldn’t feel your partner moving around or fidgeting while you try to get a good night’s sleep. It’s virtually silent, so you won’t get the irritating squeaking that you’d expect from a coil spring mattress.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the Puffy Lux\u2019s dense structure allows it to resist dust mites, so it’s an excellent pick for those with dust allergies. It’s also free from latex and carries the Certi-Pur certification, so it doesn’t contain any VOCs or harmful chemicals that could make you unwell. This feature also means that you\u2019ll experience less unpleasant off-gassing, a common problem with memory foam, than you would with most of its competitors.<\/p>\n Dense Polyfoam Core:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux mattress starts with a 7-inch core layer of dense, supportive polyfoam that provides exceptional lumbar and joint support. This layer is somewhat thicker than average for a memory foam bed and makes it more supportive than many of its competitors.<\/p>\n Polyfoam Transition Layer:<\/strong> The transition layer features 2 inches of polyfoam at a lower density than the support core. This layer acts as a bridge between the comfort system and the core. It provides extra cushioning, stopping your body from sinking through the softer memory foam layers and contacting the dense layer below.<\/p>\n Gel Foam Comfort System:<\/strong> The Puffy Lux’s comfort system has a dual-layered design. The the1.5-inch lower polyfoam layer is less dense than the layers below and offers comfortable padding and support. The layer above features 1.5 inches of soft, adaptable memory foam that can conform to your body to prevent painful or uncomfortable pressure. This layer contains tiny gel particles that carry away body heat to keep you cool and comfortable, allowing for better temperature regulation than most memory foam beds.<\/p>\n The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 12-inch thickness profile, making it above average for a memory foam mattress and more supportive than many of its competitors. Its all-foam construction provides excellent motion isolation and noise control for couples who don’t want to be disturbed at night.<\/p>\n If you need a softer mattress, Idle Sleep also sells a plush bed without coils that offers many of the same benefits. This mattress is an ideal option for side sleepers with very low body weights or low body fat percentages that find a medium mattress puts uncomfortable pressure on their joints.<\/p>\n The most impressive feature of the Idle Sleep mattress range is its incredible returns policy. All Idle Sleep mattresses come with an exceptional 18-month sleep trial, the most extended period available in the industry. This trial takes the risk out of buying a mattress online by allowing you a generous timeframe to get used to your new bed and return it if you don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n Dense Foam Foundation:<\/strong> Like most mattresses of its type, the Idle Sleep Gel Foam mattress begins with a layer of ultra-dense polyfoam for back and joint support. This layer measures 7-inches thick, above average for a typical memory foam bed, and has a significantly higher density than most of its competitors. Therefore, it provides outstanding support and improved durability.<\/p>\n Perforated Transition Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense base, you’ll find a 2-inch layer of transitional polyfoam. This layer stops you from sinking through to the hard foam below and provides a little extra support. It also features perforations for added ventilation, making the mattress’s structure more breathable and improving temperature control.<\/p>\n Idle Cooling Buoyancy Foam:<\/strong> The Idle Gel Foam mattress has a 3-inch comfort system made from the company\u2019s unique Cooling Buoyancy foam. This foam is more responsive than regular memory foam with a little more bounce, but it still provides outstanding pressure relief and comfort. It features a cooling gel infusion to prevent overheating at night.<\/p>\n Washable Cover:<\/strong> Finally, a quilted fabric cover that can react to your body heat helps keep you cool and comfortable. However, it can also warm you up in chilly temperatures. Unlike many of its competitors, you can unzip the Idle Gel Foam\u2019s cover and wash it to keep your bed fresh and clean. There\u2019s also a natural fire barrier, so you don\u2019t need to worry about inhaling any harmful chemical flame retardants.<\/p>\n The Zenhaven has an unusual flappable structure that lets you pick between two firmness settings: ‘luxury plush,’ which translates as medium-soft, and ‘gentle firm,’ which is medium-firm. We recommend the gentle firm side for most sleepers because it provides the support and pressure relief that you need in any sleeping position. However, the luxury plush side may be a better option if you have a low body fat percentage or suffer from joint pressure and discomfort on a firmer bed.<\/p>\n Unlike many no-spring mattresses, the Saatva Zenhaven mattress has five distinct support zones to encourage your spine into the best possible alignment. This structure provides outstanding support for your lower back while offering the softness you need for pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n Talalay Latex Support Core:<\/strong> The Zenhaven\u2019s support core features layers of highly dense natural Talalay latex foam. These layers are naturally breathable to help you sleep cool yet provide the robust support you need to minimize joint and back pain.<\/p>\n Zoned Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress features a 100% natural latex comfort layer that provides a cozy yet cooling sleeping surface. It can adapt to your body to provide maximum pressure point relief. The comfort layer features a 100% natural latex foam layer that feels comfortable to sleep on without overheating. It can adapt to your curves for maximum pressure point relief. This layer has five supportive zones that feel firmer around your lower back and softer in high-pressure areas like the shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n New Zealand Wool:<\/strong> You’ll find a layer of organic, chemical-free New Zealand wool underneath the top cover. This layer provides a little extra cushioning and makes the mattress more breathable for added temperature control. It also has moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable in hot weather. This layer acts as a natural fire barrier, so there’s no need for any potentially harmful flame-retardant chemicals.<\/p>\n Organic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Zenhaven has a comfortable, quilted organic cotton cover. This material is exceptionally breathable and won\u2019t trigger any night-time allergies. Saatva treats this cover with a botanical agent called Guardin to guard against bacteria and other microbes.<\/p>\n The springless construction of the EOS Trilux mattress also means that it is virtually silent, and it resists motion transfer across the surface of the bed. Therefore, you shouldn\u2019t feel your partner tossing and turning in the night or getting up for late-night restroom visits.<\/p>\n This bed is also an excellent choice for people who want a mattress without coils and\u00a0 wish to avoid memory foam<\/a>, polyfoam, and synthetic ingredients. It features 100% natural materials, including organic latex, wool, and cotton. This construction also means that the mattress provides superior temperature control and is hypoallergenic, perfect for people with dust allergies. There\u2019s also a wool-free vegan version if you follow a plant-based lifestyle.<\/p>\n Customizable Latex Layers:<\/strong> Each EOS Trilux mattress starts with three 3″ layers of supportive organic latex foam, adding up to 9 inches of latex altogether. You can unzip the cover and swap the layers around to change your bed’s firmness and feel to suit your unique needs. You can also change the internal layers for free for the first 90 days. This freedom to personalize the bed makes it a great option if you’re unsure which firmness you need or think your needs may change over time.<\/p>\n Plant-Based PLA Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress has a plant-based comfort layer that provides a little extra padding and a comfortable, cozy sleeping surface. It is exceptionally breathable to keep you cool and comfortable, and it doesn\u2019t contain and potentially harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n Organic Quilt and Cover:<\/strong> This mattress has an organic top quilt made from cotton and natural wool. This layer isn’t just comfortable to sleep on- it also provides extra breathability and wicks away sweat while you snooze. On top, you’ll find an organic, removable cotton cover with a zipper that lets you reorder the latex layers as required.<\/p>\n This mattress can accommodate almost any sleeping position and body type because it comes in a full firmness range: soft, medium, medium-firm, and firm. We recommend the soft and medium settings for lighter side sleepers who need maximum pressure relief, while the firm version is best for heavier back and front sleepers who need full support. The medium-firm setting should suit almost anyone and is a great choice for couples with varying sleep styles or body types.<\/p>\n Organic Support Core:<\/strong> The Natural Bliss mattress’s support core features 100% organic Arpico latex that provides exceptional lumbar support and encourages your spine into an ideal alignment. While it is ultra-supportive, it’s also relatively breathable to stop you from overheating at night.<\/p>\n Latex Comfort Layer:<\/strong> Above the dense support core comes a comfort layer featuring 100% natural latex. This material is somewhat softer than the support layer and can mold your body’s shape to reduce tension around the shoulders and hips- ideal for side sleepers.<\/p>\n Natural Fire Barrier:<\/strong> Instead of a chemical fire barrier containing harmful toxins, the Natural Bliss mattress has a natural layer made from plant fibers. It also includes zero fiberglass or any other substance that could damage your health. The result is a safe and healthy mattress that still meets all federal fire safety standards.<\/p>\n Organic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Natural Bliss mattress has a knitted fabric cover made from organic cotton. This material is ultra-breathable for maximum cooling, and it can wick away sweat to keep you dry and comfortable.<\/p>\n The Ghostbed is available in medium-firm only. However, this firmness setting should suit most sleepers and bodies pretty well because it provides the ideal balance of support and pressure relief. It\u2019s a little firmer than some other medium-firm mattresses we\u2019ve reviewed, so we recommend it for average and heavier sleepers in any position. It may feel a bit too firm for slimmer individuals who sleep on their sides.<\/p>\n This mattress is an excellent choice for couples because it provides superior motion isolation and doesn’t make any annoying squeaking or creaking noises when you move around. It’s also flexible enough to use on an adjustable bed or any other supportive frame or foundation.<\/p>\n High-Density Support Core:<\/strong> The Ghostbed mattress starts with a supportive foundation made from 7.5 inches of high-density polyfoam. This base has a pretty firm feel and provides robust spinal support, but it doesn\u2019t feel too hard to sleep on comfortably. This layer provides the bed with a stable, durable core and encourages optimal spinal alignment.<\/p>\n Gel Transitional Layer:<\/strong> Next comes 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam with a cooling open-cell structure. This structure, combined with the gel particles, allows heat to escape so that you don\u2019t end up hot and sweaty. It also adapts to your body to provide cushioning comfort and prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\n Aerated Latex Comfort Layer:<\/strong> This mattress has a 1.5-inch comfort layer made from supportive latex foam that can also adapt to your shape to prevent tension around the hips and shoulders. This layer has an aerated structure to help it sleep cooler, which also gives the bed a pleasantly springy feel. The latex used in the Ghostbed is non-allergenic, making it suitable for people with mild latex allergies. However, we recommend checking with your doctor first if your allergy is severe.<\/p>\n Soft Cover:<\/strong> The Ghostbed has a cover made from a soft viscose\/polyester blend fabric. This material is highly durable and breathable, so it shouldn\u2019t cause overheating. It\u2019s also exceptionally stretchy, allowing it to flex with your body movements so that you can get the most out of the bed\u2019s pressure-relieving abilities.<\/p>\n This mattress has an innovative dual-sided structure that allows you to change the firmness at home by simply flipping it over. One side is firm, which provides robust support for heavier front and back sleepers. Meanwhile, the medium side is ideal for most sleeping positions and body types and allows deeper pressure relief for side sleepers.<\/p>\n You can purchase the Latex for Less mattress in two thickness profiles: 7 inches or 9 inches. Both profiles are somewhat thinner than average, but the 9-inch version should provide enough support for people with average or below-average body weights. However, very heavy individuals may prefer a thicker brand. The thinner version is slightly cheaper and is ideal for children and lighter teens and adults.<\/p>\n Firm Latex Core:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress starts with a layer of firm, 100% natural Dunlop latex foam. If you prefer a firmer bed, this is the side that you sleep on. If you sleep on the medium side, this layer acts as a support core to encourage a healthy spinal alignment.<\/p>\n Medium Latex Layer:<\/strong> This layer features natural Talalay latex foam with a softer feel and a pleasant amount of bounce. It has a medium firmness that can adapt to your body’s curves and provide the deep shoulder and hip pressure relief you need for comfortable side sleeping.<\/p>\n Natural Wool Fire Barrier:<\/strong> The Latex for Less mattress doesn’t contain any potentially harmful chemical or fiberglass flame retardants. Instead, it uses a natural wool layer as a fire barrier that also makes the mattress more breathable and wicks away sweat while you sleep. This feature allows the bed to meet federal fire safety standards while providing a safe, healthy sleeping environment.<\/p>\n Organic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> This mattress features an unwoven stretch cotton cover that\u2019s certified organic and pesticide-free. The material feels delightfully soft and cozy and provides a comfortable sleeping surface.<\/p>\n The Tatami mattress combines hypoallergenic latex foam with memory foam for an outstanding balance of support and pressure relief. It’s relatively expensive, although we think it comes at a fair price considering its broad range of premium features. If you believe the Tatami mattress is right for you, but you’re on a tight budget, there are financing options available. Essentia offers 0% APR financing arrangements through third-part lender Affirm if you meet the borrowing criteria.<\/p>\n Essentia describes the firmness of the Tatami mattress as ‘mid contour,’ which we assessed to be medium to medium-firm. It provides the reliable support you need for a healthy spinal alignment with a softer, more adaptable comfort layer that reduces pressure and provides a soothing sleeping surface. This firmness should suit most sleeping positions and builds and is an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, you may find it too firm for comfort if you have a low body fat percentage, especially if you sleep on your side.<\/p>\n Latex Support Foam:<\/strong> The Tatami mattress has a 7-inch support core made from natural, organic Hevea latex foam. This material provides a stable base for the bed and offers outstanding spinal support, encouraging a healthy spinal alignment. While the support is relatively robust, this layer can adapt to your body shape to prevent uncomfortable pressure.<\/p>\n Natural Memory Foam:<\/strong> This mattress features a 1-inch natural memory foam comfort layer that gently cradles your body for maximum pressure relief. It provides soothing cushioning around high-pressure areas like the hips and shoulders, ensuring a comfortable night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n Organic Cotton Cover:<\/strong> The Tatami has a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover that feels pleasantly soft to the touch. It\u2019s highly breathable, allowing heat to escape and keeping you at a comfortable temperature while you sleep. The cover features a convenient zipper so that you can remove and launder it to keep your bedding fresh.<\/p>\n This mattress is certified organic and formaldehyde-free, and the production process minimizes waste and carbon emissions. It’s also biodegradable, so you don’t need to worry about contributing to the landfill problem further down the line when it’s time to replace your bed. Therefore, the Avocado Latex mattress is exceptionally environmentally friendly. It\u2019s also safe and non-toxic, providing the healthiest possible sleeping environment.<\/p>\n Convoluted Latex Foam:<\/strong> The Avocado Latex mattress provides outstanding back support thanks to its convoluted latex foam core. Each layer has a wavy design that allows the mattress to conform slightly to your body and allows a little bounce without feeling too responsive. This feature also makes the bed more breathable and minimizes motion transfer, which is great news for couples.<\/p>\n Zoned Support:<\/strong> This mattress has firmer support in the midsection, providing outstanding back support and encouraging the best possible spinal alignment. It\u2019s softer at the end sections to provide the pressure relief you need around the shoulders and hips, reducing joint tension and discomfort.<\/p>\n Hand Tufting:<\/strong> Every Avocado mattress features hand-tufted wool rosettes to hold the mattress together. Therefore, it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or glue to hold the layers together. This construction also makes the bed significantly more durable and stable, so you can trust it to provide long-lasting comfort and support.<\/p>\n Spring mattresses may feel uncomfortable for certain sleepers. People with low body fat percentages may find that a spring mattress doesn’t let their body sink in deeply enough, putting uncomfortable pressure on their joints. Even individuals with an average or higher body weight may find that a spring mattress doesn’t provide adequate pressure relief.<\/p>\n Another common problem with spring mattresses is that they have a lot of open spaces inside. While these spaces make spring mattresses cool and breathable, they also provide an opportunity for a dust mite infestation, which could be especially problematic for people with dust allergies. A hypoallergenic foam or latex mattress has a denser structure that stops dust mites from burrowing inside.<\/p>\n Some couples also find spring mattresses unsuitable because they transfer motion across the sleeping surface, which means you may feel your partner shifting around or getting up to use the bathroom. While pocket-sprung mattresses isolate movement better than those with continuous coils, they are unlikely to isolate motion as effectively as an all-foam bed.<\/p>\n Finally, spring mattresses tend to sag sooner than their foam counterparts. While a pocket-sprung mattress will be more durable than a continuous coil model, it will most likely have a slightly shorter lifespan than a memory foam bed and a significantly shorter lifespan than a latex mattress.<\/p>\n If you’re keen to avoid coils, there’s good news- there are plenty of spring-free options available. Before choosing a brand or model, it’s essential to know the different spring-free mattress types and what they mean for your sleep and comfort. The main types of non-coil mattresses are as follows:<\/p>\n Polyfoam is short for polyurethane foam. It is an exceptionally affordable material if you want to buy a spring-free mattress on a budget. Many innerspring mattresses have comfort layers made from polyurethane foam, so you may have already experienced sleeping on this material without realizing it.<\/p>\n A mattress made entirely from polyfoam usually has a layer of high-density foam at the base to provide support and one or more layers of softer foam above for pressure relief and comfortable cushioning.<\/p>\n Polyfoam mattresses have the advantage of being dust mite resistant. They also do a decent job of minimizing motion isolation so that you aren’t disturbed by your partner’s movements at night.<\/p>\n However, there are a few disadvantages to polyfoam mattresses. Very cheap polyfoam beds may contain harmful chemicals, so it’s crucial to choose a USA-made bed certified as containing very low levels of any toxic substances. This type of bed also tends to have pretty weak edge support and may not be as durable as other mattresses.<\/p>\n Memory foam<\/a> is a specially-engineered polyfoam originally invented by NASA to provide comfort and protection in aircraft seats. Pioneered as a mattress material by Tempur-Pedic<\/a>, it is now best-known for providing cradling comfort to sleepers. However, you can buy a wide range of memory foam products nowadays, including padded bath mats, cushions, and even slippers.<\/p>\n The most significant advantage of memory foam is that it can react to your body heat, allowing it to mold closely to your shape. This feature makes it exceptionally comfortable and relieves pressure, including around the shoulders and hips. Therefore, many people who suffer from painful joints find that memory foam mattresses provide much-needed relief.<\/p>\n Memory foam mattresses are dust-mite resistant and offer outstanding motion isolation, which means they dampen movement across the bed. Therefore, they’re popular with couples who want to get an undisturbed night’s rest.<\/p>\n However, there are some potential drawbacks to owning a memory foam mattress. Memory foam has a dense structure that acts as a heat trap, which could cause you to sleep uncomfortably warm. However, many modern manufacturers reduce this problem by engineering their foams to be more breathable. If you sleep hot but like the idea of a memory foam bed, try looking for breathable, \u2018open-cell\u2019 foams and heat-wicking infusions such as gel or copper.<\/p>\n Memory foam beds can also produce an unpleasant off-gassing smell when you first unpack them and may contain potentially harmful chemicals. The smell should disappear with a thorough airing, but it’s essential to only buy from the USA and Canada and check your bed carries a certification like GreenGuard-Gold or Certi-Pur to make sure it is non-toxic.<\/p>\n You may find that memory foam lacks edge support and durability, although mattresses containing higher-density foams can be impressively long-lasting. Some people also dislike the feeling of sinking into the bed, which some describe as ‘sinking into quicksand.’ Ultimately, whether you like the sensation of sleeping on memory foam is a matter of personal taste. If you want to avoid memory foam, you can check out our favorite mattresses without memory foam here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Latex mattresses are the most expensive in the world of non-spring mattresses, but they offer an incredible range of benefits that many sleepers will enjoy. Latex is a natural material that offers the same pros as memory foam but without many drawbacks. It’s also exceptionally durable, so you should consider a latex bed to be a long-term investment.<\/p>\n Unlike memory foam beds, latex mattresses tend to sleep relatively cool because they have a breathable structure. They are relatively adaptable, allowing your body to sink in comfortably and relieving pressure. They\u2019re also dust mite-resistant, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n However, not all latex is created equal. If you choose a mattress containing cheaper synthetic latex, it may contain certain chemicals that you wouldn\u2019t want in your sleeping environment and release an off-gassing odor. Therefore, it’s essential to look for a natural or organic latex mattress to be sure of getting a healthy product.<\/p>\n While there are few drawbacks of a latex mattress, the cost may be off-putting to some shoppers. There are plenty of fairly-priced, budget-friendly options available, but they are still likely to be more expensive than other mattress types. Most models are also unsuitable for people with latex allergies. However, some companies remove the latex proteins that trigger allergic reactions to make them safe for latex allergy sufferers.<\/p>\n Once you’ve decided which mattress type is best for you, it’s time to consider other factors to get the best product for you. The different features, firmnesses, and jargon you\u2019ll encounter when trying to \u00a0buy a mattress without coils can make your head spin, but help is at hand. In this section, we\u2019ll talk you through the process step by step to help you choose your ideal spring-free bed.<\/p>\n The first step towards choosing the correct mattress brand and model is to figure out which firmness you need. While you may assume that a soft mattress is always the most comfortable option, which firmness you choose comes down to your body type and sleeping preferences. So, which firmness should you pick?<\/p>\n Most people don\u2019t need a soft mattress, and many will find an ultra-plush bed unsupportive. However, side sleepers with very low body fat percentages often find a soft mattress comfortable because it can relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders, even if you have bony joints.<\/p>\n Medium mattresses suit most sleepers relatively well because they provide a decent balance of support and pressure relief. Generally, they\u2019re a good choice for light and average-weight sleepers in any position. However, people with higher bodyweights may require firmer support, especially if they sleep on their front or back.<\/p>\n Medium-firm mattresses are easy to come by because a lot of mattress companies choose this as their only firmness setting. That’s because almost everyone should find a medium-firm mattress comfortable regardless of their sleeping style or build. You’ll sometimes hear medium-firm mattresses referred to under other names, including ‘universal comfort’ or ‘luxury firm.’ These beds are an excellent option for couples and combi-sleepers. However, side sleepers with low body weights may find them too firm.<\/p>\n Firm mattresses are most suitable for people who sleep on their front or back who have back pain. They are highly supportive, but they are likely to feel too hard for most side sleepers. Firm mattresses can be a good choice if you have a higher-than-average body weight.<\/p>\n Extra-firm mattresses are usually too firm for most people to feel comfortable, and you shouldn\u2019t believe the myth that an extra-firm mattress is always best for back pain. However, this type of bed can be helpful if you sleep on your front or back and have a very high body weight and lower back discomfort. Generally, we don\u2019t recommend buying an extra-firm mattress unless your doctor or chiropractor tells you it\u2019s necessary. You may hear extra-firm mattresses called \u2018orthopedic\u2019 beds.<\/p>\n If you and your partner have different sleep needs and don’t think a universal comfort mattress is right for you, a split firmness mattress could provide the solution. Not all manufacturers offer split firmness, but this option allows each partner to pick the feel of their side of the bed.<\/p>\n If you’re unsure which firmness you need, a dual-firmness mattress could be a suitable option. Dual-firmness mattresses have a different firmness on each side, allowing you to change the feel by flipping it over. For example, you can buy beds that are medium on one side and firm on the other. You can also purchase customizable mattresses that allow you to personalize the firmness in your own home by unzipping the cover and rearranging the layers. However, this type of mattress is relatively rare.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to check that any mattress you\u2019re considering is durable and long-lasting, or you could end up having to shell out on a replacement sooner than you may like. Fortunately, there are plenty of durable beds without springs available.<\/p>\n If durability is the most critical factor for you, a latex mattress is the longest-lasting non-spring mattress type available. While latex is relatively costly, it could save you money in the long run and allow you to avoid the hassle of replacing your bed after just a few years.<\/p>\n If you prefer a polyfoam or memory foam mattress, you should pick a bed that uses dense, durable foams. Check reviews carefully to determine what lifespan you should expect from any bed you’re considering. You can find our selection of the most durable mattresses<\/a> here.<\/p>\n Fortunately, springless mattress models are less likely to cause allergies than their sprung counterparts because they contain dense foam components. It\u2019s hard for dust mites to penetrate foam mattresses, so you’re less likely to suffer from night-time coughs and sneezes. Spring mattresses contain large internal spaces, ideal environments for dust mites to thrive.<\/p>\n If you want to buy a latex mattress, you should exercise caution if you have a latex allergy. However, don\u2019t assume that latex is entirely off-limits. Some manufacturers remove the allergy-causing latex proteins from their foams to prevent reactions.<\/p>\n You can find plenty of high-quality hypoallergenic mattresses in the review section of this article. If you want to explore additional options, you can find our favorite hypoallergenic mattresses here.<\/p>\n Nowadays, many people are keen to make more ethical choices with the products they consume. As veganism and plant-based lifestyles become more popular, many mattress manufacturers now produce vegan-friendly mattresses that are entirely free from animal products.<\/p>\n If you want to make an environmentally-friendly choice, you’ll find plenty of options in the review section of this article. Organic mattresses are kind to the planet and are also non-toxic and exceptionally safe, although they are more expensive than their non-organic counterparts. However, you may feel that spending a little more is worth it to avoid potentially toxic chemicals. There is no single organic certification for mattresses, so it’s important to check the credentials of each material used.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, some manufacturers of no-spring mattresses use potentially toxic chemicals to make their foams. These substances are harmful to the planet and can cause breathing problems and other health issues, especially if you have a pre-existing respiratory complaint like asthma.<\/p>\n Luckily, it’s relatively easy to find a mattress that is guaranteed safe to sleep on. Various independent bodies test mattresses to check that they don’t release dangerous levels of any chemical or other substance that could make you unwell. Choosing a certified mattress is the simplest way to choose a safe, healthy bed. Certi-Pur<\/a> and GreenGuard Gold<\/a> Gold are the most common certifications, and most high-quality mattresses carry at least one of them.<\/p>\n Many cheap mattresses use fiberglass as a fire barrier, and you\u2019ll find it included in some premium brands as well. While a fire barrier is crucial for safety, fiberglass is an undesirable mattress ingredient because it can cause skin irritation and breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n The other potential drawback of mattresses with fiberglass is that millions of tiny shards can escape if you remove the cover, causing massive problems in your home. It’s incredibly difficult to clean up fiberglass, and you may need to call in a professional cleaning service to solve the issue. Simply leaving the mattress cover in place is no guarantee of safety because even a tiny hole or tear in the fabric can release a surprising amount of fiberglass into your living space.<\/p>\n Fortunately, plenty of mattress brands use safe, healthy alternatives to fiberglass that still meet federal fire safety standards. Natural wool and certain plant-based fibers also provide effective fire-retardant properties. None of the mattresses featured in this article contain fiberglass, and you can find plenty more \n
