Our verdict
The Luxe Nova Hybrid is our side-sleeper-focused pick because its combination of comfort foams and sprung support can provide more cushioning around the shoulder and hip than our firmer recommendations. Its available firmness options also make it more flexible than describing it as a single fixed medium-soft mattress.
Best for
- Side sleepers
- Lighter sleepers who find firm mattresses uncomfortable
- Buyers wanting a softer feel with sprung support
- Anyone with shoulder or hip pressure on a firm mattress
Consider an alternative if
- You sleep mainly on your front
- You want a firm, support-led surface
- You want the lowest possible price
- You prefer natural fillings
Why we picked the Luxe Nova Hybrid
We selected the Nova as our side-sleeper pick because softer comfort layers over springs are a construction commonly chosen by side sleepers who want cushioning with underlying support — softness where the body is widest, support where it is not.
The cooling-gel layers also mean it does not sleep as warm as a soft all-foam mattress typically would, which is why it appears in our cooling shortlist too.
It is currently:
- our Best For Side Sleepers mattress
- included among our Top 3 for Side Sleepers
- included among our Top 3 Cooling Mattresses
At £611 King it costs more than the Emma Original but offers a distinctly softer feel that firm-averse sleepers will notice immediately.

Is it good value for money?
You are paying a premium of roughly £125 over our all-round pick for a specialist feel. If you are a committed side sleeper, that is money well spent; if you switch positions through the night, it is less clear-cut.
The one honest caution is longevity: softer comfort layers can show settlement sooner than firm builds, so the guarantee terms are worth reading before ordering.
Who should buy the Luxe Nova Hybrid?
The committed side sleeper
You spend most of the night on your side and wake with shoulder or hip pressure on your current mattress.
Lighter sleeper
Firm mattresses feel hard rather than supportive to you because you do not sink into them at all.
Softness-with-support buyer
You want a plusher surface but are not willing to give up the support and airflow of a sprung core.
