Shopping for a new mattress can feel so personal, as your sleeping position, body composition, and preferences for traits like cooling or bounciness all affect which mattress is right for you. That doesn't mean mattress shopping is a shot in the dark. We've tested over 40 mattresses on a standardized test bench so you can compare how they feel and perform with data. We also recently updated our testing methodology so you can see how a mattress performs for your specific weight and sleeping position, based on its support and pressure relief performance. You can check out the Test Bench 1.1 Changelog for all the details.

We've also taken into account how mattresses perform for cooling, motion dissipation, and edge support. Here, we'll recommend the best mattresses for most people with options for different sleeping positions and some picks for people with different priorities as well.

If shopping for a mattress is making you lose sleep, our How To Choose A Mattress guide goes into more detail about how to find a mattress with the right feel and firmness for you using our reviews. For a more detailed look at mattress firmness, how it affects support and pressure relief, as well as how we measure it, read our firmness guide.
