Hybrid Mattress Recommendations?

Hi, everyone! It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one overwhelmed by mattress shopping. Hopefully you all can help me narrow it down.

The sleepers: Me - 6', 160lbs. History of lower back problems. Light sleeper. Side sleeper and I toss and turn a lot. Wife - 5' 3", 125lbs. Has fibromyalgia and is almost always dealing with hip pain. Heavy sleeper. Side sleeper.

Current bed: Zinus king size memory foam mattress from Amazon on a platform bedframe. It's about 5-6 years old. It's supposed to be firm, but just feels hard. It feels like it has no give or contouring at all. I wake up sore and tired every day. I sleep better in hotels and guest beds. It was great at first, but I feel like I've been having these issues for the last 2 years or so.

What I think I want: King-sized medium-firm to firm hybrid mattress. No fiberglass if possible. I like the idea of using natural, non-synthetic materials but not sure if that truly affects the quality of sleep. I don't think we have any allergies or sensitivity to synthetic materials. Budget - around $1800. $2500 max if it's a really good mattress for the price.

I've looked at saatva memory foam hybrid, Brooklyn bedding signature hybrid, helix twilight/twilight luxe, and a few others. The reviews and comments vary wildy on these mattresses. Every time I think I find the one I want, I find a bunch of posts convincing me to reconsider.

I've enjoyed every hybrid mattress I've slept on as a house guest. We even have one in our guest bedroom. It's too soft even though it's supposed to be firm, but it's still more comfortable then my current mattress. It's a sealy (or serta?) that i bought on sale through wayfare so we kind of got lucky with that one.

I’m surprised no one has responded yet. I’m I am favoring the DreamCloud right now. The premier (middle model) has a 6.5/10 firmness rating. Also, you might be surprised and possibly overestimating how firm you really like your mattresses. Their website has a link to find in-person stores for you to try them out, though our area stores only stock the regular, most popular version, which is plusher than the premiere.

You can look up Silk and Snow Mattresses. They are made in Canada and don't contain fibreglass and are not expensive compared to other mattresses. They have a memory foam, hybrid and natural mattress to choose from. They are softer on top for side sleeping but supportive underneath. They ship to the US and Canada. Their memory foam mattress is maybe a 6/10 for firmness and their hybrid maybe a 7/10. The natural is a little bit firmer than the hybrid. We have the memory foam version and like it as its a bit softer and I havent had any pain on it. Most mattressesare too firm for me and I get pain but this is softer. There's also Emma mattresses in memory foam or hybrid. I ordered their memory foam mattress to try as well but haven't slept on it yet.

I like my saatva loom & leaf (relaxed firm). I'm mostly a back sleeper but tend to find my way to my sides in the middle of the night. I like that I can't feel my partner move around.

My guests always compliment our modern memory foam one too. I've been sleeping in the guest room lately due to feeling ill and have really enjoyed it as well. They have a great customer service and return policy. If you want $100: https://refer.saatva.com/kgreenia91

Hi there, did you ever find a good one? I’m in the same boat. My roommate just got nectar and it’s nice but contains fiberglass, trying to stay away from that as well.
