Best California king memory foam mattress
Ever since Rihanna sang California King Bed, we’ve been dreaming of a good night’s sleep on a California king size mattress.

Why we chose the Layla Hybrid mattress: The Layla Hybrid tops our list as the best California king mattress, particularly because this king bed is conveniently flippable, with a softer and firmer side to choose from. The soft side is extra plush and pressure relieving, perfect for any side sleeper who wants a cushiony feel. The firm side isn’t super firm. It’s more around a six out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it great for most sleeping positions. I also think heavy side sleepers will like the firm end because it’ll feel like a soft mattress with a good balance of support.
The Layla Hybrid California king bed consists of layers of gel memory foam, support foam, pocketed coils and a center layer of copper-infused foam. The center foam mattress layer is designed to draw heat away from the sleeper’s body to help cool them off while they sleep, while simultaneously adding antimicrobial properties to prevent bacteria buildup in the mattress. I think the memory foam feels light and airy, compared to a bed like the Nectar that feels more dense and firm.
If you sleep with a partner, there will be sufficient space and the edges will feel properly supportive (for those of you who sleep next to a bed-hot). This thick memory foam mattress has extra strong, 16-gauge coils around the perimeter to strengthen the edges. The memory foam also does a great job at isolating motion.
Pros:
- Two firmness levels in one mattress (flippable design)
- Strong hybrid construction accommodates all body types
Cons:
- Its cost is on the expensive side
- It gives some resistance to combination sleepers
