Tom’s Guide Sleep Awards 2025: All the winners across every major category
We've crowned this year’s best products to help you sleep better, from mattresses and pillows to sunrise alarm clocks and sleep trackers
Our first ever Tom's Guide Sleep Awards is drawing to a close, so we thought we'd bring all of winners together here in one big final celebration.
From mattresses and pillows to sunrise alarm clocks and sleep trackers, these are the products we've tested, rated and now recommend for better sleep in 2025 and beyond.
Below, you'll find a list of all our winners across every category, and why they beat the competition to take home their very own Tom's Guide Sleep Award.
Many of them have dropped in price thanks to this year's Black Friday mattress and sleep deals too, so now is a great time to stock up on our favorite products to help you sleep better for less.
Mattresses: Meet all our winners
A good night's sleep starts with a good mattress. That's why we spend so long rigorously testing each mattress we review (learn more about how we test mattresses). There were multiple mattress awards up for grabs this year, with the top award being Mattress of The Year.
The Saatva Classic is the top-rated option in our best mattress buying guide and after multiple rounds of voting, and looking through all our Saatva Classic mattress review data and testing panel notes, we decided to crown the Saatva as the winner of our main Tom's Guide Sleep Award for 2025.
In fact, this luxury innerspring hybrid took home several awards, including best luxury mattress and best hybrid mattress.
Then we have best cheap mattress winner the Siena Signature, a budget bed that outperformed many premium rivals during testing, and best mid-range mattress the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid, a luxury-looking bed in a box without the luxury price tag.
Here's the full list of winners from the mattress category...
Best mattress of the year: Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic is the highest scoring mattress we've tested, and the run-away winner of our top sleep award thanks to its excellent blend of comfort, support and temperature control. As we say in our Saatva Classic mattress review, this is simply the comfiest mattress for most people in every sleeping position.

Best cheap mattress: Siena Signature
The Siena Signature takes home our budget mattress award because it provides the support you'd expect from a mattress with a much higher price. As we say in our Siena Signature mattress review, if you're looking for a queen under $500, this truly is the best cheap mattress you'll find.

Best mid-range mattress: The DreamCloud Classic
A fantastic value mattress in a box that outperformed many more expensive luxury rivals in our recent retesting, and our mid-range mattress winner because of its excellent build quality and performance for the lower price tag. Read our DreamCloud Classic review to learn more.

Best luxury mattress: Saatva Classic
Yes, it's the Saatva Classic again, and we have good reason to make it our luxury mattress winner: it's a premium design hand-crafted from premium materials that can only be found in the best luxury mattresses.

Best memory foam mattress: Nectar Premier
The winner of our all-foam mattress award would need to provide memory foam's famous body-hugging feel we love without the notorious stuffiness we hate — and the Nectar Premier is the best memory foam mattress for creating that balance.

Best cooling mattress: Bear Elite Hybrid
During our vigorous retesting of our favorite mattresses, the Bear Elite had the fastest cooling rate of them all (learn more in our Bear Elite Hybrid mattress review). Not only did it win our cooling bed of the year award, it's also the best cooling mattress we've ever tested.

Best side sleeper mattress: Helix Midnight Luxe
While the Saatva Classic excels at side sleeper pressure relief, our voters felt the Midnight Luxe delivered the classic sink-in pillowtop softness synonymous with the best mattresses for side sleepers. No wonder it took home our side-sleeper bed award.
> See the Midnight Luxe, from $1,048 at Helix
Best stomach sleeper mattress: Helix Dawn
The best mattresses for stomach sleepers deliver support that's firm enough to keep the hips and back in healthy alignment, which is exactly what the Helix Dawn mattress does. It has a simple, no-frills design, and it's excellent value for money considering the high support it delivers.
> See the Helix Dawn, from $749 at Helix
Best mattress for back pain: Saatva Classic
We crowned the Saatva Classic our back pain bed winner winning mattress for those with back pain thanks to its outstanding lumbar support that keeps sleepers comfy and supported. Its customizable firmness also makes it the best mattress for back pain to suit all types of sleepers.

Best mattress topper: Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper
Aren't in the market for a new mattress? Look to the best mattress topper of the year, the Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Topper, instead. Our bed topper award winner, the cooling upgraded Tempur-Adapt offers Tempur-Pedic's signature luxury without you have to buy the brand's luxury-priced mattresses. Read our Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper to learn more.

Pillows
Rest your head on these cushioning and supportive pillows. Different sleep positions needs different headrests, so we've tested the best pillows for all kinds of sleepers, including the adjustable one-size-fits-all design that is the Coop Original Pillow.
The universally comfortable Coop Original Adjustable Pillow won best pillow overall, while underdog Nest Bedding beat out the likes of big-name brands such as Tempur-Pedic and Purple to win the best side sleeper pillow.
Here's a full list of all the best pillows we tested this year, including our favorite pillows for back and front sleepers:
Best pillow: Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow
The best pillow for you should be one that supports your sleep position, which is why the recipient of our main pillow award is the Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow. With an adjustable design that offers one-size-fits-all comfort, the Coop Original pillow offers cloud-like support for all sleep types.

Best pillow for side sleepers: Nest Bedding Easy Breather Side Sleeper Pillow
This side sleeper pillow award winner pillow has an ergonomic curved design that looks pretty weird, but is actually super-comy for side sleeping. With a customizable support and comfort, the Nest Bedding Easy Breather Side Sleeper Pillow is hands-down our the best pillow for side sleepers this year.

Best pillow pillow for stomach sleepers: Tempur-Pedic Tempur Cloud Pillow
Our stomach sleeper pillow award winner is low enough to keep your neck comfortable when front sleeping, with your spine in healthy alignment to prevent pain. We rate Tempur-Pedic Tempur Cloud Pillow as practically perfect for front sleeping, and it's great value when on sale.

Best pillow for back sleepers: Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow
Back sleepers need somewhere in between the low loft of a stomach-sleeper pillow and the high loft of a side sleeper, meaning the adjustable, Goldilocks-comfort of Coop Original Pillow is the winner of the best pillow for back sleepers award.

Bedding
There's a lot more to bedding that just sheets. In fact, bedding can be just as important to your sleep as mattresses are.
The best weighted blankets like the five-star YNM Weighted Blanket are keeping us cozy, the best mattress toppers like the Tempur-Adapt + Cooling are enhancing and rescuing our uncomfortable mattresses, and the best mattress protectors like the waterproof Coop Ultra-Tech are keeping are bedrooms clean and accident proof.
Of course, sheets and comforters are an important part of our sleep setups, so we've honored the naturally refreshing Coop Cotton Percale Sheet Set and the year-round the Layla All-Season Down Alternative Comforter, too. Here's a full list of the award-winning bedding:
Best mattress protector: Coop Sleep Goods Ultra Tech
The best mattress protector needs all-bases-covered protection, including a waterproof design. Enter the Coop Sleep Goods Ultra Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector, tested by us and proven to stand up to tea spills, water, urine and more. We crowned it our mattress protector winner thanks to its powerful waterproofing and soft, breathable feel.

Best weighted blanket: YNM Original Weighted Blanket
The best weighted blankets provide cozy, deep pressure therapy, and the YNM Original Cotton Weighted Blanket does just that. It promotes feelings of calm and restfulness, and offers a great variety of weights. No wonder it's our weighted blanket winner.

Best comforter: Layla All-Season Down Alternative Comforter
The best comforter need to provide cozy hug in winter and refreshing comfort in the summer, and the Layla All-Season Down Alternative Comforter does just that (as the name suggests) and is ultimately the winner of our comforter sleep award.
> See the All-Season Down Alternative Comforter, from $159 at Layla Sleep
Best bed sheets: Coop Cotton Percale Sheet Set
We selected our bed sheet winner based on how it feels, how easy it is to clean, and how compatible it is with all types of mattresses, which is why we thinks the ultra-soft, machine-washable, and deep-pocketed Coop Cotton Percale Sheet Set has some of the best bed sheets around.

Sleep tech
Sleep tech has never been as advanced, accurate, or high tech as it has been in 2025, so we were excited to pick the winners in this category (even though it was hard to choose).
With its outstanding sound quality and modern design, the Hatch Restore 3 won best sunrise alarm clock, while the snore-masking Soundcore Sleep A30 won best earbuds. But the star of the sleep tech category has to be the best smart bed, the Eight Sleep Pod 4.
This high-tech baby acts as a temperature-controlling sleep-tracking mattress cover. And speaking of tracking, resident sleep-tech expert Eve Davies was thrilled with what the wearable Oura Ring 4 could do and named it the best sleep tracker of the year. So, here's a round-up of the best sleep tech this year:
Best smart bed: Eight Sleep Pod 4
The Eight Sleep Pod 4 is so good at tracking, inducing, and enhancing sleep that it won the smart bed award despite not being an actual smart bed; as we explain in our Eight Sleep Pod 4 smart mattress cover review, this is a smart bed cover that transforms pretty much any 'dumb' mattress into a top-rated smart bed instead.

Best sleep tracker: Oura Ring 4
The best sleep trackers are accurate, comfortable to wear, and capable of pointing out what's going wrong with your sleep and how to improve it. The Oura Ring 4 boasts more in-depth sleep tracking than its predecessors and generated the most accurate data out of all the trackers we tested. A worthy winner of our sleep tracker award.

Best sunrise alarm clock: Hatch Restore 3
We found that the Hatch Restore 3 sunrise alarm clock provided everything a great sunrise alarm clock should. Its great value for money, holds an extensive library of sounds, and looks stylish and modern on your bedtime table. Our body clock Sleep Award winner is the one we want to wake up next to every morning.
> See the Hatch Restore 3, from $140 at Hatch
Best sleep earbuds: Soundcore Sleep A30
Sleep earbuds can help drown out any noise that's keep you awake at night, as well as enabling you to listen to sleep sounds or sleep meditations to help you fall asleep faster. We crowed the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds our winners because they're comfy, have snore-resistant features, and excellent sound quality.
