Best California King Mattress

Amerisleep's AS5 comes with a proprietary memory foam known as Bio-Pur, which is highly responsive and can quickly recover whenever you move around the bed, adding some motion isolation. It's highly supportive thanks to its medium-firm density, which relieves pressure and assists with spinal alignment. For taller sleepers or couples with chronic back pain, the California King size AS5 Hybrid is a solid choice.

Aside from being remarkably responsive, the Bio-Pur foam is well ventilated and breathable, leaving sleepers cool all night long. It's also well known for offering more than enough motion isolation, thus preventing sleep disruptions for couples and tall sleepers. But since the underlying layer of ActiveFlex memory foam has more bounce, there's more motion transfer on the AS5 Hybrid model than the AS4.

The AS5 boasts a 7-inch comfort system that features three layers that play a vital role in generating significant pressure relief. For instance, the memory foam layers conform deeply to smooth out pressure points, while the ActiveFlex foam protects your body from sinking out of line. Not to mention its zoned polyfoam that's tailored to match up to five different sections of your body.

With the AS5 Hybrid, you get a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and a 20-year warranty.

We were looking for a truly soft california king mattress that we could really just sink into, this is the best mattress for that. The Puffy Lux sure didn’t disappoint. This mattress was great to lie on with the Puffy Original added layer of comfort, not to mention the internal foam layers and coils that keep you supported throughout the night.

These layers will keep you comfortable and help relieve some of your pain and pressure points. No matter what kind of sleeper you are, this is a great mattress option.

This mattress doesn’t feel too hot either, unlike other foam options and it's one of the best memory foam style beds out there. We slept on this mattress comfortably and felt cool throughout the night. The support of this foam is meant to relieve the pressure on your hips and spine, cradling your body well. This is because the Puffy Lux is made with four foam layers that provide different benefits.
First, there’s the cover.

This cover will help air flow easily off of the mattress. Then there’s the comfort layer of 2 inches of gel memory foam, which includes microbeads that trap less heat and let you sink into the mattress. Don’t forget about the contour layer with another 2 inches of memory foam, along with the transition layer of a firmer poly foam and coils that will prevent you from sinking too far. All in all, this will give you lots of support and comfort all through the night.

Puffy also has a great selection of mattress toppers, sheets, pillows, foundations and more so you can bundle and get everything you need in one place.

This Diamond california king mattress has some of the best edge support of the mattresses we’ve tested. Since it has a hybrid construction that merges the qualities of memory foam with inner spring, you get the best of both worlds. While you can choose between three different firmness levels of support (plush, medium firm, and firm), they all feel like a good representation of the firmness level.

What really stood out to us was how cool this mattress sleeps. Yes, ‘it sleeps cool’ is a common claim for hybrid mattresses. Unfortunately, the foam in most mattresses still retains a lot of heat. While a lot of other mattresses use a special layer of foam to create a cooling feel, the Diamond mattress has a special cover to do that. The Faith mattress does have a special layer to regulate temperature, but the CoolTouch cover is what really takes the cake.

When it comes to motion isolation, this mattress impressed us. We couldn’t feel any motion transfer throughout the night. That said, it’s still responsive enough to roll over when you need to. Here’s another thing we really liked: the edge support. Nobody likes feeling like they’re about to roll off the bed, and that was a non-issue.

This mattress is also backed by a 20 year warranty, which is about twice the industry average.

If you love a soft, plush california king mattress, you’ll want to check out the Keetsa Tea Leaf Dream. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of support you can feel. We found that the support is a lot more noticeable around the hips and shoulders, which is a refreshing balance. Some soft mattresses sink too much, which can really negate the support they should have. Thankfully, that isn’t the case with this mattress. It has wrapped coils in between layers of memory foam. It felt like there was some push back, in a good way.

You definitely get a cradling feeling, and the foam starts contouring to your body pretty quickly too. While memory foam mattresses are known to have good motion isolation, we found that this one does even better than most. Considering that it’s a hybrid mattress and not just a memory foam mattress, that’s pretty impressive. You could try (and try hard) to get motion to transfer across the mattress, but the other side still won’t move.

It’s not the coolest mattress of those we tested, but it still kept a fairly neutral temperature throughout the night. The coils let plenty of air through, which also helps keep too much heat from building up. Another nice thing about the coil and foam combination is that there’s better support. 

As far as sleep positions go, this Cool Bliss california king mattress was one of the best we tested for side sleepers. If you like to switch up sleep positions though, don’t worry. Even when moving to the back or stomach sleeping positions there’s an even amount of support. Another nice thing is that it doesn’t seem to sink or sag, even when you’re sitting in bed.

We were definitely fans of the latex material. Since it’s combined with foam, you get the contour of memory foam, with the support and responsiveness of latex. It gives you the feel of being held on cushions, without sinking in. A bonus for people that really struggle with back pain is the different foundations you can choose from, to tailor your support.

As you might guess from the name, this mattress is designed to keep you cool, even if you’re a really hot sleeper. The foam has a special gel inside that keeps body heat away, and moving out of the mattress.

We realized that keeping cool is one of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep. Beyond the gel infused foam, there’s also a special cooling cover. This was one of the more impressive parts, since it was obviously cooling the mattress and wicking away moisture. 

Choosing a mattress when you’re part of a couple is certainly harder than choosing one for just yourself. The idea is that you get proper support no matter what position you sleep in, with a ton of cooling layers. Even if you’re not a hot sleeper, if your partner is, it’s important to have a mattress that keeps you both from burning up. Naturally, that was one of the things we had to check out.

The Luff california king mattress does a great job of staying cool, which was a relief. The other nice thing is that there are separate layers that provide targeted support to all the different pressure points. It does still have a higher firmness level and feel than your typical plush mattress, but we chalk that up to the targeted support. That makes it ideal for couples that can’t choose between a firm and soft mattress.

We noticed the contouring feel pretty much right away, which is a signature trait of any memory foam mattress. Unlike other foam mattresses that stay ‘contoured’ for a while even after you move, this mattress adapts quickly. It’s also easy to move around or switch positions without the feeling of getting stuck. While we’d say it’s best for side and back sleepers, it was still comfortable enough to roll on your stomach too.
