When you're shopping for a new mattress, the amount of information to sift through can keep you up at night. Narrowing down your search to a few trusted brands can help. The best mattress brands consistently offer a good balance of support and pressure relief, so you can sleep comfortably no matter your body type or sleeping position. Their mattresses also provide great motion isolation and responsiveness, so it's easy to move around without feeling every time your partner shifts in their sleep. They should also keep you cool throughout the night, even if you sleep hot. Although most manufacturers don't make particularly durable mattresses, the best mattress brands use at least some dense, high-quality foam.
We've tested mattresses from 31 brands, and below are our picks for the eight best mattress brands. They're not listed from best to worst; instead, we've ordered them alphabetically, so you can find the best mattress brand for you. If you're looking for more mattress shopping resources, check out our mattress size guide, our rundown of the different types of mattresses, or find out what all those mattress certifications really mean.
We've tested over 70 mattresses. We purchase each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of manufacturer influence. Each mattress undergoes the same tests to measure objective data on characteristics like firmness, cooling, and motion isolation, so you can easily compare results. Since we buy all our mattresses, we can tear them down layer by layer and isolate the mechanical properties of every component: quilted tops, foams, coils, and any special materials.

Beautyrest

We have the brand to thank for the invention of pocket springs, along with the technology that enabled their mass production. This breakthrough led to the flagship Simmons Beautyrest Mattress, which featured Thomas Edison, George Bernard Shaw, and Eleanor Roosevelt in its marketing. These days, Beautyrest is one of four brands the company operates (Serta, Beautyrest, Simmons, and Tuft and Needle). They mostly make hybrid mattresses, often featuring quilted sleeping surfaces. Their mattresses provide a good blend of responsiveness and motion isolation, but often use lower-quality foam, which can lead to permanent indentations sooner.
The Beautyrest Mattress is the best Beautyrest mattress we've tested. This mattress has a decent balance of pressure relief and support, making it a good option for average-weight and lighter back sleepers, as well as average-weight and heavier side sleepers. It provides impressive motion isolation, so you don't feel much movement across the mattress, even if you have a sleeping partner who tosses and turns. It's also quite cooling, though if you sleep hot, you might still feel warm as you fall asleep. Unfortunately, it uses mostly low-density, low-quality foam, so it's not very durable, and you may notice sagging or indentations that affect its support performance and feel sooner.

Casper

The company has been around since 2014, when it began selling mattresses through a direct-to-consumer model, at a time when most mattresses weren't available online. Of course, the concept took off, and now Casper is one of many bed-in-a-box brands. Their mattresses are available at a range of prices, from budget to mid-range, and they tend to be quite versatile, working well for a variety of sleepers. In particular, they do an excellent job of dissipating motion, so they're a great choice if you sleep lightly. They offer a good combination of pressure relief and support, too, which helps keep your spine aligned and reduces pressure points.
The Casper Snow is our top recommendation from the brand, and it's a premium hybrid mattress with a Medium firmness level. It's particularly well-suited for combination sleepers and couples, since it offers remarkable versatility, with excellent support and pressure relief for people with a wide range of body types and sleeping positions. We recommend it as our top pick in a number of categories, including best mattress. As the name suggests, it's cooling enough for hot sleepers, especially after the first hour of the night. It also offers excellent motion isolation. However, its plush and enveloping comfort layers give it a hugging feel, so if you don't like the slow-moving feel of memory foam, you might find it constricting.

Helix Sleep

Each of these brands is advertised to a slightly different audience, with Helix being the most general, meant to suit "every body." Of course, no mattress is a perfect fit for everyone, but Helix's mattresses do offer pretty good all-around performance. They're responsive, dissipate motion well, offer fantastic edge support, and are cooling enough for most people. They also tend to be fairly durable, though they still use some low-quality foam layers, which decrease the overall longevity of their offerings.
The Helix Midnight Luxe 2025 is our top pick by Helix Sleep. It's a Medium hybrid mattress, so it's a good fit for average- to heavier-weight side sleepers and lighter back and stomach sleepers. The memory foam layers help dissipate motion effectively, so it's a good choice if you sleep lightly or with a partner. It's also very responsive, so while you feel comfortably cradled, it's still easy to move around. Cooling is also a strong point for this mattress; it transfers heat efficiently enough to keep hot sleepers from waking up overheated. And while the quilted top uses low-quality foam, the layers below are denser, making the mattress reasonably durable overall.

It's part of FXI Inc., a foam manufacturer that also owns a few other mattress brands, including Sleep Innovations, which also sells memory foam mattresses and toppers. Novaform mattresses are available at Costco (U.S.) as well as some other online retailers. Their budget-friendly mattresses are often well-suited for sleeping with a partner, since they offer decent support for people in a range of weight categories and have strong motion isolation. However, edge support can be a weak point, and all-foam models can have a sluggish or constricting feel.
The Novaform Legacy is our top Novaform recommendation. This budget-friendly Firm hybrid has an impressive support performance that makes it a good option for light and average-weight back and stomach sleepers. Its contouring memory foam comfort layers help it offer great pressure relief for side sleepers in the heavier-weight category, but don't create a hugging or constricting feel. It's cooling enough for hot sleepers and has amazing motion dissipation. However, it doesn't have good edge support, so it's not ideal if you sleep near the side of the mattress or want to maximize comfortable sleeping space.

Purple
Side Sleeping7.1Back Sleeping6.8Stomach Sleeping6.7Motion Dissipation8.3Responsiveness9.3Cooling9.9Longevity7.4Mattress Type:HybridBed-In-A-Box:YesFirmness Level:Medium (45 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsUpper Comfort Foam @ Lumbar:Elastic Polymer GridPurple mattresses stand out for one unique component: the waffle-shaped purple topper the brand calls the 'GelFlex Grid.' It's made of a type of buckling-column gel, a product developed in the 1990s for medical applications, such as wheelchair cushions. It's designed to stay firm under light pressure but to collapse under firmer pressure, providing support, pressure relief, and increased airflow. Purple uses a proprietary hyper-elastic polymer and grid design, which the company has patented and uses across its mattress lineup. Thanks to this unique upper layer, their mattresses are extremely responsive and exceptionally cooling, though users typically either love or hate the grid's feel, so it's worth testing out Purple mattresses in person if possible.
The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid offers outstanding cooling and is our pick for the best Purple mattress. In fact, it's our pick for the best cooling mattress overall, and it's a great option if you find no mattress provides the cooling you want. Its Medium feel makes it an ideal pick for average- to heavier-weight side sleepers and a great choice for lighter-weight back and stomach sleepers. However, people who don't fall into one of these categories, and especially lighter side sleepers, should avoid it. That said, if it suits your body type and sleeping style, it performs well; otherwise, it doesn't. It's extremely responsive, so you'll never feel stuck in place, and its great motion isolation makes it suitable for couples. It's also decently durable. It only has one layer of polyfoam, but it's of good quality, so it shouldn't start to form indents too quickly.

Saatva

They make a wide range of mattresses, including latex, dual-sided, adjustable firmness, and crib mattresses, as well as dog beds and Murphy beds. Their level of support and pressure relief depends heavily on your sleeping position and body type, so it's a good idea to consider these factors when choosing. Their mattresses tend to be very responsive, so they're a good option if ease of movement is a priority for you. They offer good cooling, so the brand is worth a look if you tend to sleep hot. That said, their motion dissipation is usually just decent, so you may want to look elsewhere if you sleep lightly or sleep with a partner.
The best Saatva mattress we've tested is the Saatva Latex Hybrid. Despite its firmer feel, this high-end mattress offers good pressure relief and support for most people and most sleeping styles, though lighter-weight sleepers are the exception. If you fall into that category, it won't provide enough pressure relief, leading to painful pressure at the shoulder and hip. This mattress stands out in two areas: responsiveness and cooling. It bounces back practically instantly when compressed, so your movements are supported, and you never feel restricted. It's also cooling enough for hot sleepers, especially those who tend to wake up overheated later in the night. Longevity is also a plus for this mattress, as it uses high-quality latex, though it's worth noting that this is an exception rather than the rule for Saatva mattresses.

Sleep On Latex

The company later developed 'Pure Green' latex, which is naturally sourced and organic latex manufactured in Sri Lanka. Today, they offer a small lineup of mattresses, including an all-foam and a hybrid model, along with toppers and pillows. Their mattresses are assembled in a U.S. factory and are made of certified organic materials, such as cotton and wool, as well as latex.
Our top pick from the brand is the Sleep On Latex Hybrid. This high-end model stands out for its fantastic overall support performance and durable design. This mattress's bouncy latex comfort layers won't let you sink in very far, and it doesn't offer enough cushioning for side sleepers in general, but it's very well-suited for stomach and back sleepers, especially in the average-weight and heavier categories. It's not ideal for anyone who likes pillowy, enveloping mattresses, but if you value ease of movement or just prefer a firmer feel, it's worth considering. The high-quality latex comfort layer will resist forming permanent indentations and impressions. The mattress also has a flippable design, which may also help increase its durability even more. Otherwise, it offers impressive all-round performance, with superb cooling for hot sleepers and incredible motion isolation for couples.

Tempur-Pedic
Side Sleeping7.7Back Sleeping7.4Stomach Sleeping7.2Motion Dissipation9.4Responsiveness3.4Cooling7.7Longevity6.2Mattress Type:FoamBed-In-A-Box:NoFirmness Level:Medium (48 Pa/mm)See all our test resultsUpper Comfort Foam @ Lumbar:Memory FoamInterestingly, Tempur-Pedic's story starts with an invention from NASA. In the '60s, the space agency developed viscoelastic (memory) foam, a slow-moving foam used to cushion astronauts during test flights. After the space agency made the formula public, a Swedish foam firm developed a version tailored to sleep, calling it 'Tempur Material.' From there, the technology reached the U.S., where it was used to launch the Tempur-Pedic brand and gained traction quickly, thanks in part to the 'famous wine glass test.' Now, they make high-end mattresses, with the priciest going for more than $10,000. They're typically very contouring, with superb motion dissipation but low responsiveness, offering a hugging feel that can be cozy or cloying, depending on your preferences.
The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt is our pick for the brand, and it's a high-end all-foam mattress with a Medium feel, making it a good fit for lighter to average-weight back and stomach sleepers, as well as heavier side sleepers. It's our recommendation for the best memory foam mattress, thanks to its highly contouring feel, fantastic motion dissipation, and good cooling. However, the flip side is that it lacks bounciness and responsiveness, which is typical of memory foam, making it hard to shift sleeping positions and leaving you feeling stuck in place. Like most of the other options listed here, this mattress isn't particularly durable. It uses two layers of good-quality foam and two layers of low-quality foam, so it may begin to sag before mattresses with good-quality foam throughout.
