Shopping for a new mattress is very personal. Your sleeping position and body composition play a huge role, so what's comfortable for others might not be for you. Of course, your preferences for a cooling, bouncy, responsive, or contouring mattress also come into play, making things even more complicated. Luckily, that doesn't mean mattress shopping is a shot in the dark. Below, we've rounded up the best mattresses for most people, focusing on models that offer a comfortable feel for a range of side, back, and combination sleepers and deliver good all-around performance. While many mattresses (at any price) use lower-quality foam, we've also considered durability when possible.
We've tested more than 70 mattresses on a standardized test bench so you can compare how they feel and perform for your specific weight and sleeping position. Below, you'll find our recommendations for the best models.
We also recommend mattresses for side sleepers. If you're looking for a specific size, you might be interested in the best king or best queen mattresses. We also recommend mattresses for heavy people and memory foam mattresses.
