Considering how much time we spend (or wish we spent) in bed, getting the best mattress to help you clock enough high-quality hours is important. However, it's a big investment, and quite literally one of the most important buys you can make for your home, it's really important to figure out which one is right for you. 

Not sure where to start? Well, that's where we come in. We know that investing in a new mattress to suit your sleep style and circumstances can be a very personal process, which is why we've personally reviewed or rigorously researched every mattress featured in this buyer's guide.

We've considered all mattress types — memory foam, innerspring, and hybrid mattresses (the best of both worlds) — from a selection of price points to put together this list of the best mattresses for a range of sleepers. You'll see some recognizable brand names such as Casper, Saatva, and Avocado,  which have all been put through their paces to see if they deliver on their promises for a number of weeks — sometimes months. We've then based our reviews on how we found them in terms of comfort, support, and quality, plus what they're like to move around and unwrap.

It sounds like a lot to consider but it's so worth putting in the time to find your next mattress, especially when you're going to be sleeping on it for years to come. You'll find our top choice below, but it's also worth knowing that most mattress brands offer a trial so you can try before you buy, so to speak — which means that you could have up to one entire year until you commit to anything more long-term.

Once you've chosen the one, don't forget to pick up the best mattress protector to shield your new mattress from allergy triggers and accidental spills.

What is the best mattress to buy?

Livingetc knows design. We spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, bringing only our edit of the very best to you. Find out more about how we review.

In short, the best mattress you can buy is the Saatva Classic Luxury Hybrid Mattress. Beyond free White Glove Delivery, this made-to-order mattress offers the perfect mix of comfort and support, while also including eco-friendly characteristics. Plus a newly expanded year-long trial and lifetime warranty make this luxury mattress even more appealing.

We do, however, also love the Casper Original mattress, which is available as either memory foam or a hybrid, both at an incredible value, to suit the need you're looking to fill. 

If neither of those takes your fancy then you'll see that we have several more alternatives to explore. Our automatic price widgets will always show you the best prices which each mattress is available to buy for, too, so no more scouting around for the best deals either.

If you are searching for a memory foam mattress that doesn't lose its firmness (even after a whole year's worth of use), then this Nectar mattress will be your perfect match! 

Who will the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress suit? 
It will reign supreme for those who are looking for a completely risk-free experience that includes a decent memory foam mattress and is available at a fair price. 

What's the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress like to sleep on? 
Thanks to its memory foam filling, the Nectar Mattress will make your joints feel cushioned from night one. With regards to motion transfer, the Nectar is as good as any memory foam — and if sliding into your other half during the night is a massive bug-bear? Then, this mattress is the best find for you.

On the firmness front, Nectar is rated 6.5 on the website, which the company claims is "just right." Users will find this option is not too soft, not too firm, and after all, what could be better than that? No one wants a mattress that is too firm, trust us.

There’s nothing especially unusual about the Nectar’s construction but, as mentioned, it is reassuringly heavy, which is always a sign of quality.

Finally, the seven-zone base foam provides additional contoured support plus depth.

If you specifically want an organic mattress then our defacto go-to is Avocado Green. The hybrid is hand-tufted in Los Angeles, and the company owns and oversees the entire mattress production stages.

Who will the Avocado Green mattress suit?
In addition to the sustainability-minded, the Avocado Green mattress is most suited for stomach and back sleepers, while side sleepers might not find it gives enough cushion. Additionally, because of the super clean list of materials, those with chemical sensitivities or allergies will particularly benefit from this mattress as it's made without fire retardants, petroleum-based foams, or chemical adhesives. And vegans aren't excluded from a fully organic mattress either, with the chance to choose a PETA-approved version sans wool. 

What's the Avocado Green mattress like to sleep on?
We describe it as firm, but gentle. That said, side sleepers may prefer something a little softer and should opt for the pillowtop upgrade. It combines the natural cushioning materials with an internal, zoned, pressure-point support system for proper back support and extended durability.  The mattress molds to you without that sinking feeling associated with memory foam, nor is there that stuck sensation or difficulty getting in and out of bed, thanks to the coil's supportive reaction. 

Special features
Instead of chemical flame retardants, the Avocado green mattress uses an all-natural fire retardant: wool. It's also one of only three mattress brands in the world to be MADE SAFE Non-Toxic certified and is a carbon-negative company. It also has a host of other certifications including GREENGUARD Gold Certified, GOLS, GOTS and OEKO-TEX, FSC-certified, and Rainforest Alliance. 

Construction
Avocado offers some of the most insight into how its mattress is made than any other company we've seen. Underneath the hand-tufted organic cotton cover, is a two-inch layer of Dunlop latex, which is considered more sustainable than Talalay latex. Below the latex, up to 1,414 individually tuned, tempered steel coils, in three gauge sizes, are arranged in 5 distinct ergonomic zones. The bed also has a fully reinforced steel perimeter for solid edge support, finished with another one-inch layer of Dunlop latex at the base. The exterior has two handles to make moving and adjusting the mattress easier.

If you struggle with waking up hot in the night or find sleeping in the summer unbearable, then then the Puffy Lux Hybrid is sure to impress, providing stability, temperature control, and support for back pain.

Who will the Puffy Lux mattress suit? 
This mattress stays cool even through the hot summer nights, so we highly recommend it for too-warm sleepers. It's also extremely supportive for those dealing with back pain, thanks to the hybrid design. 

What's the Puffy Lux mattress like to sleep on? 
The Puffy Lux is designed to sleep cool, relieve pressure points, and minimize any back pain. While it's a hybrid, it definitely retains the characteristics one would love about foam,  including minimal motion transfer and that cradling feel.  

Special features
The Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress has a Stain-Resistant Cloud Cover that you can unzip and wash for a deep clean, and it's hypoallergenic. We've also almost always spotted Puffy gifting out free pillows, mattress protector, and a sheet set with purchase.

Vegan and extremely environmentally focused, the PlushBeds Natural Bliss mattress offers tons of options and customization in creating your dream mattress. 

Who will the PlushBeds Natural Bliss mattress suit? 
The Medium rates at a 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and should still be comfortable for all sleep types. In fact, 80% of customers opt for the medium. The Medium-firm is most well-suited to heavier people or those who sleep exclusively on their stomach or back, coming in at a firmer 8.5. Couples with different sleep preferences can choose a split style to accommodate both. 

What's the PlushBeds Natural Bliss mattress like to sleep on?
The Natural Bliss will give you the feeling of sleeping on the mattress, as opposed to in the mattress, which is occasionally the feel of memory foam. When sleeping on the side, hips and shoulders sink in enough for better spinal alignment and pressure relief while those on their backs and stomachs achieved the right combination of comfort and contoured support.  Latex also offers great temperature neutrality, so it won't leave you feeling warmer. There is some motion transfer, especially when you choose a thinner and firmer design.

Special features?
The latex layers of the mattress can actually be swapped if you need a softer or firmer design. This mattress also meets some of the strictest certifications in the industry, including Certified Organic Latex, Cotton, GREENGUARD Gold, FSC, eco-Institut, and Control Union. 

Construction? 
Plushbeds keep this latex mattress simple with a GOTS certified organic cotton cover, a natural Talalay latex layer and a thicker GOLS certified Arpico organic latex core, amount dependent on mattress depth. The Eco Fire Barrier is derived from natural plant cellulose fibers and hydrated silica, and exclusive to PlushBeds.

The Purple Hybrid Premier is particularly good for side sleepers, so if that's how you prefer to snooze, the generous serving of the iconic GelFlex Grid gives the feeling of sleeping on zero gravity. And if you're a combo sleeper, you're likely to find bliss too. 

Who will the Purple Hybrid Premier mattress suit? 
The cushiony Purple Hybrid is especially comfortable for side sleepers, though back and stomach sleepers will still enjoy the pressure relief. The combination of the pressure-relieving benefits of 3 inches of the GelFlex Grid with the buoyancy of individually wrapped coils

What's the Purple Hybrid Premier mattress like to sleep on? 
The Purple GelFlex Grid is that perfect mix of soft where you want and firm where you need it, and is quite literally like sleeping in a cloud or on air.  The Grid gives for shoulders and hips but remains supportive for the back and legs. The breathable nature of the grid, coupled with the support of coils will keep you from overheating at night. The top layers, are to the touch squishy, buoyant, and cradling, without making you feel stuck. Overall, it gets high marks for support, cushioning, air circulation, and pressure relief. 

Special features?
Purple's exclusive GelFlex Grid is a league of its own, a hyper-elastic polymer gel that offers pressure relief and is made with thousands of holes to enable better airflow. Far more responsive and breathable than memory foam, the consensus is the thicker the Grid, the better pressure relief, and airflow. 

Construction? 
Three inches of GelFlex Grid cradle the body and create a buoyant feel that’s supported by a layer of stainless steel coils, separated by a one-inch layer of polyurethane foam.  It uses a non-toxic knit barrier. If you want even softer, the Hybrid Premier 4 adds an extra inch of Grid while the Hybrid is a little firmer with a two-inch make up. 

What do you get for your money?

If you attest to the belief that there is a science to sleep, or love to be at the forefront of sleep technology, the Eight Sleep Pod is truly like no other mattress on the market.

Who will the Eight Sleep Pod Pro suit?
Whether you sleep hot and are constantly kicking off the blankets - or the complete reverse, the Pod allows you and your sleeping partner to individually control the bed's temperature range from a chilly 55°F  to a toasty 110°F. The tech doesn't stop there with valuable sleep insights and sleep coaching for those who love to track their sleep and go through data. Of course, for this technology, it's pricier than your typical foam mattress. 

What is the Eight Sleep Pod Pro like to sleep on?
Interestingly enough, Eight Sleep doesn't mention its comfort rating, but we believe the Pod Pro to fall between a medium and a medium-firm level. This is one high-tech mattress we haven't been personally able to see in person just yet, but existing users mention how it has changed their life, or one super-specific review called it "probably the highest ROI investment I have ever made." Interestingly rather than offering a typical review section, Eight Sleep links to all of its public mentions from reviews on Twitter, connecting you to real people, not just a first name, last initial. 

Special features
The mattresses' temperature is controlled via a special hydro-cooling technology, that requires the use of an external black rectangular tank filled with water, referred to as the Hub. Here, water flows through the Hub's hydro-engines to the cotton cover known as the Active Grid to keep the bed as warm or cool as you desire. It's designed to fit next to your nightstand and needs to be refilled every two to three months, though the app will notify you when the water level is low.

Personalized stats get sent daily straight to your smartphone about your sleep including sleep tracking metrics of time slept, deep sleep, and REM, as well as HRV monitoring with health reports on respiration, and heart rate. Here, the Active Grid cover also has sensors that track your biometrics and surrounding environment and will adapt temperature accordingly. It's sensitive enough to detect heartbeats and breathing patterns, yet thin enough to remain imperceptible while you sleep.

Construction
Now, let's talk about the memory foam mattress itself with five layers of cushiony support, including a 1-inch Comfort Blend topper that is integrated into the Active Grid for enhanced comfort and pressure-point relief. Below the deck, you'll find an AirFlow top layer, a Supportive Air technology layer for pressure relief, a FlexSpring Technology core for cradling support, and a premium base.


How often should I replace my mattress?

According to The Sleep Foundation, it is recommended that you replace your mattress every seven to eight years. It's likely that your mattress has become worn out long before you even realize it which is why this time frame is so important to bear in mind. 

Remember, a mattress protector – or a mattress topper – would be a good idea to keep your mattress feeling (and looking) like new so at the point of buying a new mattress, slip one of these on.

How to choose the best mattress for yourself?

Ultimately it depends on the level of support you need, the space you have, and your budget. The type of mattress – foam, innerspring, or hybrid – and materials used can also come into play at the point of choosing a mattress, based on your experience.

If you already have a bed frame then you'll just need to get the same size mattress to fit it. This will work in the same way if you want to upgrade from a double to a king. A number of brands sell mattresses and bedframes so to make life a little easier, it might be best to buy these at the same time. This way you can ensure that you can the correct bed frame and bed base to support the mattress adequately.

Have a little think about how you sleep, too. Are you a side, back, or front sleeper? Do you struggle to regulate your temperature during the night? This can all affect the type of mattress you opt for. If you're unsure, then do take advantage of the trials which brands are offering. These range from 100 to 365 nights which is plenty enough time to find the best mattress for you (and your partner) for free.
