Mattress reviews

Every mattress we have slept on

9 mattresses, 273 nights of sleep, one rubric. Reviews are ordered by our overall score, which is calculated from seven measured sub-scores and never adjusted for commercial reasons.

We buy or independently request every mattress we test. If you buy through a link here we may earn a commission, which never affects our ranking. How this works.

Saatva9.4

Saatva Classic

The most supportive mattress we’ve tested for back sleepers and anyone who wakes with a stiff lower back. Traditional coil feel, hotel-grade finish, and it sleeps cool.

Innerspring hybrid$1,995 Queen32 nights tested
Helix Sleep9.1

Helix Midnight Luxe

Zoned coils that are firmer under the hips and softer under the shoulders. The best pressure-relief numbers we have measured on a mattress that still supports the pelvis.

Memory foam hybrid$1,899 Queen31 nights tested
Helix Sleep8.8

Helix Sunset Luxe

The softest mattress we recommend. Built for side sleepers under about 130 lb, where every medium-firm hybrid on this site will feel like a board.

WinkBeds8.7

WinkBed Plus

Built for sleepers over 300 lb, with a latex support layer and a reinforced coil unit. The highest support score we have recorded.

Latex hybrid$2,049 Queen30 nights tested
DreamCloud8.6

DreamCloud Premier

Not as supportive as the two hybrids above it, but close enough that we would recommend it if the budget stops around $1,400. The year-long trial removes most of the risk.

Foam hybrid$1,399 Queen30 nights tested
Nectar8.1

Nectar Premier

The best motion isolation we have measured, at a price that undercuts every hybrid on this site. The compromises are heat and edge support.
