Hi there -- Thanks for your question. There really is no universal better or worse here. You can find a full range of quality in both gel memory foam options and hybrid options, so your decision should really start with determining which type is going to be a better match for your particular needs and preferences, starting with making sure you choose a mattress that will be a proper fit for your needs from a spinal alignment and pressure relief standpoint.

My suggestion would be to start with our mattress matching quiz, which will go through the key factors to consider and will help you to quickly narrow the universe of options to mattresses that best match your other needs and preferences (you might even find a third type of mattress is a better match for you than either gel memory foam or hybrid). From there you can watch or read our reviews of those mattresses to make sure they really do meet your needs, including in the adjustable base compatibility department.

If you haven't already taken it, you can find the GoodBed Match Quiz here:

I hope that's helpful.
