We face so many hurdles trying to attain a "good night's sleep." If it's not general late-night mind spirals, it's pesky noises. Or over caffeination. Or a room temperature that can't seem to ever get just right. Discomfort rears its ugly head in far too many ways! But the delightful fact of the matter is that we can get ahead of these irritating rest resistors, and one major move is securing an extra-comfortable mattress.
Everybody's different, so your perfect mattress match depends on how tall, firm, and supportive you prefer your bed to be, (as it goes for finding other perfect matches in this life, but I digress.) That's why we dove into the web to select 13 of the comfiest mattresses with rave reviews—and they fall under all sorts of different categories: firm, foam, innerspring, budget-friendly, you name it. If you're ready to improve the quality of both your sleep and general bed rotting experiences, read on.

Pros
- Reviews say that it maintains its firmness as the years go on
- Includes a removable cooling mattress cover
Cons
- Pricey
Tempur-Pedic beds have earned a rep for their extra adaptable foam material and their cooling technology. They tout the LuxeAdapt as their most advanced mattress yet—and the washable cooling cover is definitely a plus.
The Review: "Feel the Tempur difference and you'll be hooked, like I was. I've never fallen asleep faster, stayed asleep longer, or had a more restorative sleep until I slept on a Tempur-Pedic."

Pros
- Cooling

Don't you hate that saggy dip that mattresses get over time? This Sealy bed is produced with tech to resist just that. It also boasts a six-inch support foam layer that'll help alleviate problems like sleep apnea and soreness, since it supports spine alignment and even weight distribution.
The Review: "This is by far the best mattress I've owned, and I have had a few! Let me start off by saying this is a miracle for my back! I can get a good night's sleep without tossing or turning. It is breathable and has a cooling effect as well! I am very impressed with how it was delivered to the door all I had to do was open the box and it started inflating pretty quickly."
Type: Memory foam
Height: 13 inches

Sizes: Twin, Twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king
Trial Period: 120 nights
Pros
- Cooling
- Adjustable base friendly
Cons
- According to one reviewer, it takes a while for the packaging smell to go away
For those who want a super plush feel, but whose joints might need some structure and support, hybrid innerspring/memory foam beds are great. This particular bed is also built to isolate movement, so if you sleep with a partner that tosses and turns a bunch, your rest won't be affected.
The Review: "It's a very comfortable and well-constructed mattress—no backaches or pressure points. Highly recommend."
Type: Memory foam/innerspring
Height: 13.5 inches
Firmness: Plush
Sizes: Twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king, split Cal king
Trial period: 120 nights
Pros
- Quick delivery
- Cooling
Cons
- Not the best option for side sleepers, according to reviewers
This medium-firm pick from Nectar strikes the perfect plushness balance that it promises, so you can rest assured that sleepers that fall on either end of the firmness preference scale will adjust to this one's feel.
The Review: "This mattress is perfect for my sleep problems of bad back and constantly waking up throughout the night. First night I slept through the night, and woke up to my alarm feeling refreshed. According to the stats, it's a 6.5 firmness and I would agree that's about right. It was very easy to set up... just open the bags... you can hear it start to inflate. Rolled it out on my bed left it for the day came back and it was all inflated and ready to go."
Type: Gel memory foam
Height: 12 inches
Firmness: Medium-firm
Sizes: Twin, Twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king
Trial period: 365 nights
Pros
- The perforated layer increases airflow so that you don't get overheated
- The ergonomic layer addresses your body's pressure points
Cons
- Reviews say that after the unboxing, it takes a while for the chemical smell to go away
Want a bed with a cushy feel, but don't want to compromise on its support and structure? This hybrid mattress uses a foam-top layer that'll give you that cloud-like sensation, but it also has a springy bottom layer, with a firm border for edge support. V "hybrid" indeed.
The Review: "Side sleeper. The first mattress I’ve had that didn’t leave me with some kind of back pain. I can finally sleep in again! Honestly, I wasn’t sure about it the first two weeks, I was still having shoulder, and upper-back pain from side sleeping. But after a month I was waking up with no pain. Now my only problem is showing up to work on time!"
Type: Gel memory foam
Height: 12 inches
Firmness: Plush
Sizes: Twin XL, Full, king, California king
Trial Period: 100 nights
Pros
- Feels like a middle ground between a memory foam mattress and a traditional innerspring one
- Reviewers say that it's improved their neck and back pains
Cons
- The mattress' waffle grid quilting pattern might feel weird—sleepers can add a protector or cover to eliminate it
This piece from Purple has a special grid design on its top layer. That grid makes it so that the bed's build can evenly support your body and pressure points. This is an anti-neck-crick zone.
The Review: "A level up from memory foam or anything else really, as the gel layer conforms to the body and provides a healing support layer. Fine for both back and side sleeping, as advertised. I think it is worth the extra cost."
Type: Hybrid
Height: 12 inches
Firmness: Plush
Sizes: Twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king
Trial period: 120 nights
Pros
- Quick delivery
- Good price point
- Wide size range
Cons
- Includes springs that might be too noisy for some sleepers
This matty (Does this abbreviation have wings...y/n?) has a whopping total of 638 response-sensitive springs, in order to reduce motion and give your body targeted support. If innerspring beds are your thing, Sealy's got you.
The Review: "I purchased this bed for my father and he said he has never slept better in 77 years than with this mattress. Thanks for your speedy delivery, thanks for your customer care, and thanks for a high-quality mattress my father can enjoy!"
Type: Hybrid
Height: 13 inches

Pros
- Free in-room delivery and setup
- Motion free—great for restless sleepers
- Doesn't wear down after years of use
Cons
- Might feel too firm for some sleepers
At the end of a long day, some body-hugging memory foam will more than surely trigger a gratitude moment. The Loom & Leaf mattress subs 30 percent of the polyurethane in their foams with renewable oils, so it's snug and sustainably made.
The Review: "I didn't want a mattress where I could get seasick every time my husband moved (as I did on our old mattress). We decided on the Loom and Leaf Queen size, which was delivered within a week of our purchase. I'm sleeping so much better, my fibromyalgia is well under control, and I haven't had an episode of pain since sleeping on the new mattress. If/when we're ready to replace this mattress, or any other, we will definitely revisit Saatva."
Type: Memory foam
Height: 12 inches
Firmness: Relaxed firm

Trial period: 365 nights
Pros
- The medium firmness is great for those who don't want a bed that's too firm or super plush
- Reviews say that this bed improved their aches and pains after just a couple of nights sleeping on it
Cons
- A couple of reviewers flagged that this mattress is heavy, which can make changing the sheet more difficult
- Sleepers might not like the feel of the buttons that are sewn in
We love one-of-a-kind stuff over here, and the exclusive innerspring design on this bed is no exception. It adapts to support all sorts of sleepers (even you super intense tossers out there) and this one's got a cool-to-the-touch cover.
The Review: "I'm 5 months pregnant and I don't have a need to sleep with a body pillow for extra support, that's how amazing this mattress is. And I no longer toss and turn as much as I used to, trying to get comfortable. I'm also a side sleeper, and I feel this mattress has the perfect support for shoulders and hips."

Pros
- The infused phase change gel allows for temperature regulation
- There are sturdy side handles

- The chemical smell lingers for a few days after it's unboxed
This is a bed that's built to keep up with your ever-changing body temps. Novaform's mattress uses cooling memory foam, and has been infused with a temperature regulating gel, to keep your body heat in check throughout your rest.
The Review: "Firm, but with just the right amount of plushness. You won't sink in, but you won't feel like you're sleeping on the floor either. Honestly, really comfortable. My back pain that got worse with the other mattress we bought has completely resolved since sleeping on this mattress."
Type: Gel memory foam
Height: 14 inches
Firmness: Medium
Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king, cal King
Trial period: Not specified
Pros
- Made with natural materials
- Regulates your body temperature
Cons
- Reviews say it's heavy
Yes, it's breathable, sustainably made, and plush. But above all else? It's organic. Earthfoam uses organic cotton and wool, so this bed's the real deal.
The Review: "I searched high and low for a non-toxic mattress that wouldn’t totally blow my budget and settled on Earthfoam. Ordered the King Medium Firmness and it’s definitely as firm as I would ever want a mattress to be. It’s been an adjustment from our prior memory foam, but my husband and I do think our bodies prefer it. My only concern really is having to move this thing one day. It’s heavy and floppy and doesn’t have handles, but we’re enjoying it nonetheless."
Type: Earthfoam, natural rubber, organic wool, and cotton
Height: 8.5 inches
Firmness: Medium and firm
Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king
Trial period: 100 days
Pros
- Budget-friendly price
- 10-year limited warranty
Cons
- It takes 72 hours to fill up after unboxing it
Not only has this pick been getting a lot of love from shoppers for its durability, (this buy is in it for the long-haul) but Tuft & Needle has ensured that this medium-firm memory foam mattress contours to fit your body, versus the very uncomfortable reverse scenario.
The Review: "This is not a soft or firm mattress. I consider this a medium mattress, slightly on the firm side. I can't speak for back or stomach sleepers, because I'm solely a side sleeper, but my wife likes it and we bought one for her mother who also likes hers. I recommend trying it out at least a week, especially if you're new to this type of mattress, before determining it doesn't work for you, even if it initially feels too soft or too firm."

Trial period: 100 nights
Pros
- Low price
- Wide range of size and height options
Cons
- Some reviewers found that it doesn't expand 100% evenly out of the box
This firm hybrid mattress is a great pick for the folks who want a bit of motion isolation—so if you sleep with a partner that tends to toss around a lot, you'll barely notice.
The Review: "It's very firm but not hard. I had the best nights sleep last night that I've had in a very long time, thanks to this mattress. It is very supportive and comfortable. I am a side sleeper that turns frequently and I found myself turning last night much less than I usually do. We are coming off a twelve-year-old 10-inch Serta mattress and I am pleased as punch that we went with the 14-inch mattress this time. I'm really impressed with how tall it is. As a big and tall person, the height makes it real easy to get in and out of."

How to choose the best mattress
In order to make sure that you're picking the best comfy bed for you, you should take your budget and its temperature-regulation capabilities into account (especially if you're a hot sleeper.) But also, consider how you sleep. We tapped Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo, a board-certified spine surgeon at The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care for some expert intel.
Side sleepers need beds that'll conform to their body's curves. "A mattress that's too firm will place undue stress on the joints and back, leading to a greater risk of injury," says Dr. Okubadejo. "A soft-medium mattress is especially useful for pregnant women who can combine this position with supportive pillows to minimize stress to the abdomen."
Back sleepers should consider trying a medium-firm mattress with extra structure. "It provides zoned support while allowing for pressure relief. It'll enable a back sleeper to put less pressure on their necks and backs. It's a very durable mattress in this context as well."
Stomach sleepers could feel the most comfortable on a medium-firm or firm bed as well. "It'll keep your hips and spine in better alignment, thus decreasing the risk of developing pain in those regions. Stomach sleepers are at greater risk of straining their neck, shoulders and backs, so it's critical to have a mattress firm enough to keep the hips from driving into the bed, and maintain proper spinal alignment."
Combination sleepers switch up their sleep positions all of the time. A medium-firm mattress that's not too plush or too firm will accommodate the support and the softness that their different positions might need.
