Sleep Numbers have long been a leader in the adjustable-mattress game, plus they’re famously breathable and supportive, too. For couples, being able to change up the firmness on each side and dial in personal preference can be a gamechanger for getting a good night’s sleep together. 

“Each partner can adjust firmness to their exact preference, which is a lifesaver for couples with different sleep styles,” says Dr. Allie Buttarazzi, a Maine-based lifestyle medicine and primary care physician who helps women improve sleep and build sustainable health habits.

“My in-laws swear by theirs, and I love that some models even offer active cooling and warming for couples with opposite temperature needs—hello, menopause!”

“When two people share a bed, you need solid support, minimal motion transfer, and consistent comfort on both sides,” says Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo, a spinal surgeon at the The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care in New Jersey. 

“The DreamCloud Premier Hybrid provides that balance,” he says. “Its coil base keeps the spine aligned even when one partner moves, while the foam layers cushion pressure points. It’s a great choice for couples who want comfort without sacrificing spinal support.”

Couples should look for pocket-spring mattresses like this bestseller from Saatva, says chiropractor and certified strength and conditioning specialist Matt Tanneberg. They last a long time and tend not to sink or cave in like other mattress types, he says, especially with two bodies sleeping on them. 

If you or your partner tends to toss and turn to get comfy in bed, a mattress like this helps reduce motion transfer.

“These are also great for couples due to the ‘stability’ of the springs,” he says. “This allows each person to toss and turn as they please without disturbing their partner.” 

However, there’s one thing to keep in mind: Pocket-sprung mattresses might not suit couples who sleep on their sides. Tanneberg adds that since they tend to be firmer, due to the lack of plush layers where springs are instead, they’re best for back- and side-sleepers.

Tempur-Pedic’s line of pressure-relieving Adapt mattresses are all about cushioning, support, and motion isolation, making them a great choice for couples who tend to be light sleepers when it comes to tossing and turning partners.  

“It has top-tier motion isolation, which is great for partners who wake easily,” says Dr. Barbara Sparacino, a triple board-certified physician in adult and geriatric psychiatry and addiction medicine—and who often addresses sleep challenges in her work. 

Plus, she adds, if one or both of you suffer from chronic pain, it offers the support you need for a good snooze.

“Another all-time favorite is AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion for those bodies that need extra exfoliation for the rough dry skin,” says Kobens. “The 12% ammonium lactate is a hydrator and exfoliator, while ingredients like glycerin, mineral oil and dimethicone are great emollients to keep hydration in the skin and smooth it out.”

Her rec does come with a caveat.
