Tom's Guide Verdict

The Siena Premier Hybrid mattress offers exceptional support in all sleeping positions without feeling too stiff, but the foams used to make it don't contour as much as some of our testers would have liked. Barring its middling motion isolation, this affordable hybrid mattress is a solid performer, with a build quality reminiscent of higher-tier models. We rate it as a worthy alternative to the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid, recommending it as a solid all-rounder for couples wanting a firm yet supportive mattress on a budget.

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review in brief

Siena Sleep makes budget mattresses in a box and is the sister company to Nectar Mattress, DreamCloud, and Awara. We rate the Siena Memory Foam Mattress as the best cheap mattress to buy online so we've been really keen to test out the newer and more expensive Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress ($450 for a queen) to see if it's as good a value as its popular all-foam counterpart.

We slept on the Siena Premier Hybrid for one month and also performed a series of objective tests. Our full Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review is below, with detailed notes on its pressure relief, edge support, and motion isolation, among other key areas of performance.

But if a cursory glance is all you need, here's an abridged version...

Siena Premier Hybrid specs

Type: Hybrid
Materials: Memory foam, polyfoam, wire coils
Brand-Rated Firmness: 7/10
Height: 10”
Trial Period: 180 nights
Warranty: 10 years
Sale Price: From $254 at Siena

Right away, the Siena Premier Hybrid looks more 'expensive' than the flagship Siena Memory Foam Mattress, with black piping bordering the grey-striped polyester cover and side carry handles for easy rotation. Inside, you'll find a core of 7" individually wrapped springs, 1" layer of gel-infused memory foam, and a 2" support layer of polyfoam.

Our testing panel rates the Siena Premier Hybrid an 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale, a notch above the 7 in the brand's self-assessment. Despite its firmness, our testers found it comfortable in nearly all positions. The springy surface made it easy to move about.

There's plenty of give, but not much contouring. This suited our lightweight sleepers just fine, but our average to heavyweight testers would have liked more of a hug for their shoulders and hips. Our lead tester settled on a half-turned position between her side and front to reduce pressure on her hips.

The reinforced coils along the perimeter were steady for sitting and sprawling, and the airflow from the coils resulted in temperature-neutral sleep. Motion isolation was a glaring weakness; light sleepers are likely to feel their partners fidget or get up.

After a month with the Siena Premier Hybrid, we believe it gives the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid a run for its money; the DreamCloud is the second highest-ranking mattress in our guide to this year's best mattresses for all sleepers. Yes, you'll sacrifice some features by paying a smaller price, but if you didn't know the Siena was a budget mattress, you might mistake it for a mid-range hybrid.

That's our Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review summed up. For more information on price, performance, and customer feedback, keep scrolling...

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: Price & trial

  • A budget hybrid that's always on sale for up to 60% off
  • Includes a 180-night trial — generous for this price point
  • Also comes with a 10-year warranty

Siena's most expensive mattress is still a bargain in the wider market, with a queen-size Siena Premier Hybrid regularly selling for $424.

However, you can ignore the 'total value' price as an evergreen Siena mattress sale cuts as much as 60% off the suggested retail cost.

Here’s how much you can expect to pay for the Nectar Premier Hybrid as of May 2025:

  • Twin MSRP: $836 (regularly on sale for $254)
  • Twin XL MSRP: $855 (regularly on sale for $339)
  • Full MSRP: $931 (regularly on sale for $382)
  • Queen MSRP: $1,016 (regularly on sale for $424)
  • King MSRP: $1,199 (regularly on sale for $509)
  • Cal king MSRP: $1,199 (regularly on sale for $509)
  • Split king MSRP: $1,709 (regularly on sale for $678)

It's not a bad value if you're looking for a queen-size mattress under $500. Siena offers a 180-night risk-free mattress trial, which is longer than what we even see from some luxury brands. There's also a 10-year warranty, which is within the industry average.

The only add-on Siena provides is a complete sleep accessory bundle for $99 (up to a $499 value). It includes a mattress protector, a sheet set, and up to two cooling pillows.

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress: twin $836 $254 at Siena SleepSiena's most expensive mattress is still a bonafide budget buy, with a queen-size going for less than $450 during regular Siena mattress sales. It's much lower than Siena's "total value" of $1,016, but you can ignore that figure as it's never sold at that price.

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: Design

  • A 10" hybrid of two foam layers and a bed of 7" springs
  • All sides of the mattress have three rows of reinforced coils
  • Fire-retardant knit sock doesn't contain glass fibers, per the brand

The 10" Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress comprises three internal layers: a 1.5" layer of gel memory foam on top, followed by 2" of support foam and a 7" bed of individually-wrapped wire coils. All sides of the mattress feature three rows of reinforced springs for edge support.

Siena uses CertiPUR-US-certified foam in its mattresses. According to a brand representative, the Siena Premier Hybrid doesn't contain fiberglass but instead has a sock made from other fire-retardant materials.

The top cover is 100% polyester, while the bottom cover has a shift-resistant design and side carry handles. Removing the cover will void the mattress warranty; the brand says doing so could disrupt the integrity of the mattress layers. (Any surface-level stains should be spot-treated.)

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: Comfort & support

  • We rate it an 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale
  • Firm yet forgiving with a responsive, supportive surface
  • However, some sleepers may like a more contoured feel

Siena rates its Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress a 7 out of 10 on its firmness scale. Our testers feel it's a notch above that at an 8 out of 10, placing it in 'firm' territory.

But for as firm as it is, the Siena Premier Hybrid offers plenty of give. In our objective pressure relief test, we measured a 3" sink from a 50lb weight. That's the same amount we tallied for the softer Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress, and quite impressive for a firm bed.

Overall, our testing panel found the Siena Premier Hybrid comfortably supportive in nearly every position. The bouncy surface made for great ease of movement, as well.

Most of our panel was pleased with the Siena Premier Hybrid's level of pressure relief, but a couple of testers wished for more contouring along the lumbar (while back sleeping) and hips (while side sleeping).

Our 5ft4in, 150lb lead tester said it felt like the mattress was collapsing under her weight when side sleeping. This led to some hip discomfort, prompting her to sleep in a half-turned position to better distribute her weight.

Sleepers over 150lbs (or those who carry more weight in one area) may have a similar experience to our lead tester. Our lightweight sleepers (under 130lbs) didn't have this issue.

Our lead tester also missed the dedicated lumbar zone and pillow top of her previous mattress during a bout of sciatica. Still, the Siena Premier Hybrid provided enough comfort to aid her recovery, as did sleeping with a pillow between her legs for a couple of nights.

For firmer support without sacrificing ample pressure relief, the Siena Premier Hybrid strikes a keen balance. However, if you want a decidedly firm mattress with minimal to no give, check out the Plank Firm Mattress.

Score: 4 out of 5

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: Delivery & setup

  • Fast, free delivery to our doorstep, but ask for help with setup
  • Our mattress was comfortable enough to sleep on the first night
  • Minimal off-gassing, which had dissipated by the morning

Delivery is fast and free. Our twin-size Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress arrived at our tester's doorstep within two days of placing an order.

Setup is straightforward, but you can scan the QR code on the box for instructions to make sure you're doing it correctly. Siena no longer includes a pocket blade to cut through the many feet of plastic, but we found it easy enough to tear and remove by hand. (Have a pair of scissors just in case.)

Our tester was able to set up her twin-size test mattress on her own, but it did require some muscle on her part. If you have a larger bed size, we recommend asking someone to help. (For reference, a twin size weighs 56lbs while a queen size is close to 90lbs.)

According to the manufacturer's tag, our test model was made in November 2024, about five months after we received it. Naturally, there was some off-gassing as the mattress took shape, but it cleared by the next day. (It helped that we had a window open due to the nice weather.)

Siena says that it may take up to 72 hours for the mattress to completely expand. For better or worse, our tester was able to sleep on it the same night she received it, as it had already felt supportive enough.

Note that your mileage may vary here, and giving your new boxed mattress time to air out is strongly recommended.

Score: 4 out of 5

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: Performance

  • Motion isolation could be better
  • Sleeps temperature-neutral
  • Sturdy edges for sitting or lying against
  • Held up well after one month of use

We slept on a twin-size Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress for one month, evaluating it in key performance areas according to our mattress testing methodology. Here's how we rate it in motion transfer, temperature regulation, edge support, and build quality.

Motion transfer

The Siena Premier Hybrid is a very springy mattress — after all, most of its 10" profile is made up of 7" fabric-wrapped coils. We wondered how much of an impact that would have on its ability to isolate movement.

Since a twin mattress is a single-sleeper, we ran a drop test using a 10lb kettlebell and an empty wine glass to simulate someone getting in or out of bed.

We dropped the weight from 6" above the surface at 4", 12", and 25" away from the glass. We repeated each drop twice for insurance.

When we dropped the weight from 4" away, the empty wine glass fell over both times. This means you're likely to feel when your partner changes positions.

The glass swayed but stayed upright when we dropped the weight from 12" and 25" away. This suggests that lighter motions from a partner (such as getting up or down) may still jostle a light sleeper.

We also observed the kettlebell after each drop. It bounced a fair distance from its original points of contact. The coils return plenty of energy to the surface — which is great for ease of movement but not for dampening it.

If you and your partner are light sleepers or operate on different schedules, we'd advise against the Siena Premier Hybrid. For beds with superb motion isolation, take a look at our guide to the best mattresses for couples.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Siena Premier Hybrid in a split king, allowing you and your partner to effectively share a bed while lying on separate surfaces. This is rare to see from a budget mattress brand.

Score: 3.5 out of 5

Temperature regulation

During our month-long test, outside temperatures swung from unusually warm to noticeably crisp, but we did our best to maintain a consistent room temperature of around 70°F. We alternated between cotton and bamboo sheets and used a lightweight poly-cotton blend quilt.

Our lead tester didn't have any profound episodes of overheating during her time with the Siena Premier Hybrid. The mattress is light on the foams and heavy on the coils, which helps with airflow.

The polyester top cover is cozy, but it won't be as breathable as natural fibers such as cotton or wool. For most sleepers, it should be enough. Chronically hot sleepers will want to browse the best cooling mattresses instead.

Score: 4 out of 5

Edge support

The Siena Premier Hybrid is surrounded by three rows of thicker coils for edge support. To gauge the effectiveness of this design, we placed a 50lb weight on the perimeter — the same weight we dropped in the center to gauge pressure relief — and measured the sink.

The edge compressed to just under 3". That’s deeper than we’d like for a mattress with reinforced sides, but it's on par with the sinkage we recorded in the middle, which shows an even level of edge-to-edge support.

In real-world use, our testers felt secure while sitting or leaning over the edge. They noticed a bit of fabric bunching under their thighs, and the corners were noticeably softer, but they otherwise felt steady.

The Siena Premier Hybrid gets a passing grade from us here, but for an affordable bed that aces this category, we recommend the Plank Firm.

Score: 4 out of 5

Build quality and durability

Most of our testing panel couldn't believe they were sleeping on a budget mattress — they felt the quality was indicative of a much higher cost. That's a testament to Siena's parent company, Resident, which also manufactures Nectar, Awara, DreamCloud, and Cloverlane.

Our test mattress was battle-ready from the first night we slept on it. After a month of nightly use, it's still in fine shape. We can only speculate how the Siena Premier Hybrid will fare after several years, but with proper maintenance, expect it to last about as long as its 10-year warranty.

Score: 4 out of 5

Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress review: User reviews

As of May 2025, the Siena Premier Hybrid has a 4.5-star rating out of 5 from nearly 3,000 reviews at Siena Sleep. The mattress is also available at Amazon, where it has a 4.4-star rating out of 5 from nearly 100 reviews.

Positive comments come from shoppers who find it a great value for money, with many people saying it strikes the right balance of soft and hard. Reviewers also like the fast and free delivery.

Critics say the mattress is too firm, with some claiming it's led to back and joint pain. Several reviewers also report premature sagging, while a few heavier sleepers say that they sank low enough to feel the springs.

From a value standpoint, the Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress is absolutely worth its budget-friendly price tag. The build quality rivals some of the best mid-range hybrids we've tried, and the 180-night risk-free trial is among the longest in the entire mattress industry.

Beyond that, we recommend the Siena Premier Hybrid Mattress for sleepers who want a firm level of support without feeling like they're lying on a plank of wood. The buoyant surface makes it easy to change positions, and for the most part, our testers could rest comfortably on their backs, stomachs, or sides.

However, the foam comfort layers cushion rather than contour, which was an issue for our heavier sleepers. Our lead tester dealt with pressure buildup in her hip when side sleeping, and one of our back-sleeping testers would have liked the mattress to better conform to his lumbar.

The edge support is above average, while most people should find it sleeps at a comfortable enough temperature. Motion isolation is its one glaring weakness; light sleepers who share a bed should consider the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid, another low-cost bed-in-a-box (and a sibling of the Siena).

Siena runs an evergreen sale, so you don't have to time your purchase. However, if you're concerned about tariffs on imported goods, there could be a price increase. Although the mattress is built in the United States, some of the components may come from overseas.
