These Are The 3 Best Foam Mattresses Of 2025, According To Consumer Reports

The sheer volume of mattress types, styles, and materials on the market these days, not to mention the hefty price points behind them, can make finding the perfect mattress feel like an elusive dream. Consumer Reports sought to help in the search with its report on the best mattresses of 2025. The organization's team lab-tested 250 mattresses, narrowing down the list to 20 of the best mattresses across three categories — all-foam mattresses, innerspring mattresses (including hybrid models that use both coils and foam), and adjustable air mattresses — to determine the top contenders in each. Three mattresses topped the list in their all-foam category: Casper The One, Essentia Grateful Eight Organic, and Earthfoam Organic Medium. 

Considering the mattress type is a great place to start when choosing the best mattress for you, because each suits different types of sleepers. All-foam mattresses are hailed for relieving pressure and are ideal for those who love the feeling of 'sleeping on a cloud' with minimal resistance. They run the gamut from super soft memory foam, which contours to the body, to latex foam, which feels more springy and tends to be firmer — as far as foam mattresses go, anyway. They won't hold a candle to the firmness of other mattress types, but they can provide enough support for most sleepers, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. The range of firmness options, combined with that coveted cradled feel and excellent motion isolation, catapulted all-foam mattresses into the spotlight in recent years. Plus, foam mattresses are the most common type of bed-in-a-box mattress and can be conveniently shipped straight to your door. But if you sleep hot, beware — foam mattresses tend to retain heat more than other types.

Of the three all-foam mattresses that received the highest ratings from Consumer Reports, the Casper The One mattress comes in as the most affordable, starting at $749 for a twin-size mattress (and on sale at the time of writing for $599). It was a standout for its motion stabilization, so you are less likely to notice your partner tossing and turning through the night. The organization recommends it for petite and average-sized back sleepers as well as side sleepers of all sizes, and it boasts a high owner satisfaction rating from Consumer Reports' member surveys.

The Earthfoam Organic mattress is comparable in price to Casper The One (starting at $799 for a twin bed), and Consumer Reports says the medium-firm mattress is the best bed-in-a-box option for supporting back sleepers. It somehow provides that sinking feeling and noticeable support all at once. Consumer Reports' premium all-foam pick is the Essentia Grateful Eight Organic mattress, starting at $1,784. It's recommended for back and side sleepers and is highly rated for customer comfort. Both Essentia and Earthfoam mattresses are made with organic, ethically sourced materials, making them a good choice for the environment as well. All three foam mattresses come compressed and rolled in a box, and buyers should take care to open the vacuum-sealed mattress properly to prevent a dangerous unfurl.
