Best Mattress for Couples: Minimal Motion Transfer for Uninterrupted Sleep

Most couples find medium firmness (like our AS3) provides the best compromise. However, if your preferences differ significantly, consider a Split King that allows each partner to select their ideal firmness.

Look for mattresses with zoned support (like our HIVE® technology) that provide targeted pressure relief while maintaining spinal alignment regardless of weight differences.

Yes! Our medium-feel mattresses like the AS3 are designed to accommodate multiple sleep positions, making them ideal for couples who sleep differently.

Our memory foam mattresses excel at absorbing movement, with the AS4 and AS5 providing the most comprehensive motion isolation for restless sleepers.

At minimum, we recommend a Queen, but King or California King provides the ideal space for couples. For those with vastly different preferences, Split King allows for complete customization.

Memory foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses with individually pocketed coils are generally the best for minimizing motion transfer. Our Bio-Pur® memory foam, for instance, is designed to absorb movement and prevent it from disturbing your partner. For the absolute best motion isolation, our AS3, AS4, and AS5 models excel due to their conforming comfort layers. View our detailed comparison of mattress types for more information.

A medium firmness, like that of our AS3, often provides a good balance of comfort and support for couples with different preferences. Our AS3 Hybrid is another great option, offering a medium feel with added bounce and motion isolation. You can also consider a Split King mattress, which allows each partner to choose their own firmness level.

Yes, we offer Split King options for many of our models. This allows each partner to customize their side of the bed to their individual comfort and support needs. Split Kings are also ideal for use with adjustable bases, allowing independent adjustment of each side.

A mattress with good support and motion isolation, like our memory foam or hybrid models, should minimize motion transfer regardless of weight differences. However, heavier individuals may prefer a slightly firmer mattress for optimal support. Our zoned support technology helps accommodate weight differences while maintaining motion isolation. For more information, read our guide on choosing the right mattress for different body types.

Our mattresses are designed with features specifically aimed at reducing motion transfer. For instance, our memory foam mattresses, like the AS3, use Bio-Pur® foam that conforms to your body and absorbs movement. Our hybrid models, like the AS3 Hybrid, utilize individually wrapped coils that move independently, preventing motion from spreading across the mattress. Watch Dr. Jordan Burns explain motion isolation technology for a more detailed explanation.

A mattress with excellent motion isolation is essential if you and your partner have different sleep schedules. Our memory foam and hybrid models are designed to minimize disruptions when one partner gets in or out of bed or changes positions during the night.
