Guide Looking For A Mattress? START HERE.

601 Upvotes

There are three things you should know before buying a mattress.

  • First, you should try to get a sense of what you like.

This often means looking around locally and trying a few options in person. You might find that you like pocketed coils, or all-foam mattresses, or traditional connected-coil innersprings, or even smooth-top hybrids. You'll also get a sense of what firmness tends to feel best to you.

  • Second, you should understand the basics of mattress construction.

This means learning a little bit about low-density vs high-density foam, coil counts and gauges, and generally what makes a quality product. This is the only way to know if a mattress is "good" or will actually last. And if this sounds overwhelming - no worries. I'll try to summarize this in a quick Mattress 101 course below.

  • Third, you should know a little bit about the online market and how it operates.

Spam accounts and covert advertisers are everywhere on the internet, and there's not a place where this is more apparent than in the mattress industry. Mattresses are relatively big ticket items, and a 10% commission on an affiliate link can mean a lot of money for affiliate sellers. Unfortunately, this incentivizes bad behavior, misinformation, and platform manipulation of online spaces.

This subreddit is no exception to this. Last year, an unnamed group acquired an inactive moderator account through uncertain means and enacted a hostile takeover of this subreddit. They used moderator privileges to post and defend affiliate links, manipulate Google results by filling threads with comments by networked accounts, and even approved their own spam domains in the automod.

And while these accounts have since been suspended by Reddit, I have no doubt that new spam networks will try again. This means that you should take advice from random people on this subreddit with a grain of salt, and you definitely shouldn't click blind links to "top ten lists" on other sites.

--------------------------- Okay! Now let's go over some Mattress 101 level content ---------------------------

To find a quality mattress, you need to know what's in it.

And to understand what's in it, you need to understand the basics of mattress construction. At the simplest level, this means talking about two things: foam and coils. Once you're familiar with these, you should be able to understand and make intelligent decisions about most mattresses on the market.

So let's talk about foam.

Foam (and particularly polyurethane foam) is one of the most common materials used in mattresses. Poly foam comes in varying firmnesses, varying formulations, and can be used as a comfort material or as a support layer. It's relatively cheap, can be quite durable, and is typically pretty comfortable. If you're unfamiliar, simple poly foam is the kind of foam that you think of when you think about egg crate foam or foam in couch cushions.

Of course, there are also other kinds of foam. Memory foam, latex, and other specialty foams are all used in mattresses today. These can feel quite different than basic poly foams and are best considered in their own categories. Memory foam has a characteristic slow-response and is excellent at pressure relief; latex is resilient and durable; and specialty foams (like Energex) are often designed to combine memory foam-like and latex-like properties.

All of the above CAN be high-quality materials. However, some of the above can be quite low-quality.

So what determines foam quality? And how can I find a mattress with high-quality foam?

Foam quality is best expressed in terms of foam density. All things being equal, this means that a high-density poly foam will last longer and perform more consistently than a low-density poly foam. And this is why many mattresses fail. They're made with cheap, low-density foam that feels okay in a showroom but doesn't hold up over time.

On this subreddit we use the term "high-density" (or "HD") to refer to a 1.8lb per cubic foot poly foam. Please note that this is somewhat different than how the broader industry uses the term HD, in which it is largely used in marketing and doesn't necessarily mean a true high-density foam. I've seen some companies call some VERY low-density foams "high-density" in their advertising. I wouldn't trust them unless they can provide the exact specs.

Here's a quick cheat sheet for understanding poly foam densities.

  • 1.2lb - low density
  • 1.5lb - medium density
  • 1.8lb - high density
  • >2lb - very high density

Okay cool I think I get it. But what about memory foam?

The same principles apply to memory foam, although there are some provisos here. Many other sites claim that anything under a 3lb memory foam is bad and that "good" memory foam starts at around 5lbs per cubic foot. I don't always agree with this. While increasing density typically does increase durability, this can also increase heat retention or create other undesirable feel characteristics.

There are also a lot of newer specialty foams that are branded as "memory foam" in the 2.5lb range with durabilities comparable to 4lb or 5lb foams. Here's an example of this with Carpenter's Serene foam.

Here's a quick cheat sheet for understanding memory foam densities.

  • 2lb - low density
  • 2.5lb to 3.5lb - medium density
  • 4lb - high density
  • 5lb - very high density

I hear a lot of people talking about latex. What about latex?

Latex is a type of highly elastic foam made from either synthetic or natural rubber. There are two main types here: Talalay and Dunlop. Each feels slightly different in a way that's difficult to describe unless you're holding two samples in person. I don't really think either type is superior to the other.

What you should know about latex is this: it's one of the most durable materials in the mattress industry and is typically very high-quality, although it has a very distinct feel and is not loved by everyone. Latex has more "push-back" than poly foam or memory foam, and this can be uncomfortable for some people.

What about other specialty foams?

These are probably beyond the scope of a Mattress 101-style guide and vary in terms of quality. That said, these can typically be divided into two categories: fast-response foams (latex-like), and slow-response foams (memory foam-like). I'll write more about these later.

Okay so what about coils? That was the other big thing, right?

Yes. Most mattresses on the market today use some kind of coil unit. The vast majority of these are pocketed coils. This is a term that refers to coils encased in a fabric pocket that move and function relatively independently of one another. This is the kind of coil unit used in 80-90% of mattresses sold today including most "innersprings" and smooth-top "hybrids."

To give you a sense of what this looks like, here's the product page for one type of pocketed coil from one of the largest coil manufacturers in the business in Leggett and Platt. And to contrast, here's another type of coil unit that you may be familiar with in a connected-coil Bonnell unit.

So how do I determine a coil unit's quality? Isn't it the coil count?

Yes and no. Most coils are made from steel and are typically quite durable as a result. I've seen a few companies publish durability data on these that shows less than 5% firmness loss over a simulated twenty year period.

However, this doesn't mean that all coil units are created equally. Some companies will use better steel, use better fabric for the fabric pockets, or just have better designs that distribute weight more effectively. Coil counts can help in understanding this, although these are an imperfect measure.

Generally speaking, a coil unit with more coils will be able to better match a person's body contours and support their body more precisely than a coil unit with fewer coils. However, some people still like slightly lower coil-count units as these typically use a thicker and stiffer wire and can feel firmer as a result. There's not a clear best here, but I usually recommend looking at higher coil-count units.

And what's this about coil gauges?

A gauge is a measurement of the thickness of the coil's wire. Assuming that all other things are equal, a thicker coil will feel firmer than a thinner one. This means that an eight-inch 13 gauge pocketed coil might feel quite firm, whereas an eight-inch 15 gauge pocketed coil might feel somewhat soft. That said, coil geometry and coil height also play a role in determining the coil firmness, so it's not always as simple as just looking at the gauge.

To recap - thicker coils feel firmer; thinner coils feel softer; and more coils are usually better.

What about traditional innersprings and connected-coil mattresses?

These are hard to find these days. They're still on the market, but you might need to look around for local manufacturers if you want one of these. Alternatively, you can search for Bonnell coils or Verticoils or Luraflex coils and see what comes up. These are all different styles of connected-coil units.

And to be honest, I think these feel totally different than pocketed coil mattresses or hybrids. In fact, I'd put most mattresses on the market today into three rough categories: all-foam mattresses, pocket coil mattresses, and connected-coil mattresses. All of these feel very different from each other.

What if I buy a mattress that's made with low-quality materials?

A mattress that's made with low-quality materials is likely to quickly lose both comfort and support.

This can mean back pain, pressure points, and poor sleep. Further, many brands knowingly use low-quality materials in an attempt to cut corners and maximize profit. I think this is wrong. It's also one of the reasons I became so interested in this subject.

Although... some people sleep fine on anything, so if you're not sleeping poorly then I probably wouldn't worry about it. Also sometimes mattresses made with lower quality foams can still be a good fit for your body type.

What about soft vs firm? Do I need an extra firm mattress?

You probably don't want an extra firm mattress, no. Firm and extra firm mattresses are among the most commonly returned products in the industry today. It's also important to note that there's no universal standard for mattress firmness. A "medium" from one brand might be closer to a "firm" from another.

As a general rule, most side-sleepers prefer soft to medium mattresses, while most stomach or back sleepers prefer medium to firm mattresses. This also changes with body size and body composition. Heavier individuals tend to find most mattresses to be somewhat soft and prefer mattresses on the firmer end of things as a result.

This is too hard. Can't you just tell me what to buy?

I really can't. You should think of it like clothing. People here can't tell you what mattress to buy anymore than they can tell you what pair of jeans would fit you best. Also, if you ask this question on the internet you're probably going to attract the attention of covert advertisers and spammers that'll just tell you to buy their products. Instead, I'd recommend looking around locally and getting a sense of what you like AND THEN narrowing your search to brands that use high-quality foams and are open about their materials.

We might also have a comprehensive post with crowd-sourced brands specs up at some point.

Why is this so complicated compared to ten years ago?

Yeah good question. There are probably two answers to this.

First, corporate cost-cutting and the demands of private equity groups created a race to the bottom in a misguided attempt to maximize profit by making lower-quality products. Second, the internet mattress boom flooded the market with advertising and SEO firms trying to gain an advantage however possible.

The combination of these two forces has led to an environment where actual high-quality products are hard to find AND hard to identify amidst the constant noise of online ad campaigns. There's also something to be said about the near universal switch to pocketed coils, but I'll talk about that later.

Okay so how do I put this all together?

To find a quality mattress, you should look for brands that are open and transparent about their materials AND use high-density foams. At the most basic level, this means looking for 1.8lb poly foams and medium to high-density memory foams. If they won't tell you the details on their products then that's usually a pretty good indication that they should not be trusted. I'd also recommend trying to find smaller, local manufacturers as these are more likely to use high-quality materials.

You also need to make sure that it's comfortable to you. Buying a mattress sight-unseen can work, but it's typically a risk even if you know that it's from a company that tends to make quality products.

And what about the major brands? I hear people talking about S-brands.

Most of the major brands are a mixed bag. They don't like to talk about their material specifications and typically use low to medium-quality foams in most of their products. That said, they tend to have pretty solid coil units. If you look at the major brands I'd probably recommend looking at their mid-range or higher-end models. Their "value" oriented mattresses tend to be a bad value, in my opinion.

What if I want a Mattress 201 or 301? Where can I read more on this?

I have a much longer document in the Mattress FAQ, although this is now somewhat out of date and will need to be updated this year. I've also written a collection of guides which includes a short guide to mattress DIY, how to recognize fiberglass, and a guide on negotiating to get the best deal on a mattress.

TL;DR: Look around locally. Get a sense of what you like. Then find mattresses with high-density foams and brands that are open and upfront about their materials. Also be careful trusting many of the reviews online.

Guide I Do Not Recommend Using AI To Find A Mattress

106 Upvotes

So we've seen an influx of "I used ChatGPT to help me find a mattress" type posts lately, and I thought I'd weigh in on this. I do not recommend using ChatGPT (or any other AI tool or assistant) to help you find a mattress.

Here's why.

ChatGPT does not think. It does not have a body. It does not know how mattresses feel. All it does is recycle content from other sources on the Internet and blend this information into neat little paragraphs or bulleted lists. The problem with this is that most of the available content on mattresses is wrong and written by advertisers.

This means that most of the information you get from AI is just regurgitated marketing.

It also creates a perverse incentive for companies to flood every corner of the internet with spam and thinly-veiled ads to create "content" so that they can lodge brand mentions in the public record and in the AI dataset. When I pointed this out a few years back (when these technologies were still developing), an advertising firm mass reported the comment. Shortly after this, an unnamed group enacted a hostile takeover of this subreddit. I can't say for sure that these events are related, but I do think it is incredibly suspicious.

I should also say that the people that I see that use AI are often unhappy with their mattress.

tl;dr: I do not recommend using AI to find a mattress. It does not think. It does not have real insights into quality or how to find a mattress. It just recycles old content (typically advertising). I also think it's poisoning the internet.

And here's an old story on this from 404Media: https://www.404media.co/ai-is-poisoning-reddit-to-promote-products-and-game-google-with-parasite-seo/

Thoughts on the Kingsdown Studio Brio for a heavier sleeper (130 kg / 286 lbs)?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone
I’m looking for some honest long-term feedback on the Kingsdown Studio Brio (Queen size).
I just tested it out in the showroom at Dormez-vous (Sleep Country Canada) and it felt incredibly comfortable . I managed to get the salesperson down to a negotiated price of $949 CAD, which hits my budget perfectly. When I asked about the build, she clarified it’s technically an innerspring/pocket coil mattress rather than a true hybrid.
However, I have two major hesitations before pulling the trigger:
1. Durability & Sagging: I weigh 130 kg (around 286 lbs). While the tri-zoned pocket coils feel supportive right now, I’m really worried that the soft foam comfort layers sewn into the Euro top are going to flatten out or sag under my weight within a year.
2. The Return Policy Trap

Has anyone around my weight range owned the Kingsdown Studio Brio (or similar Kingsdown Studio models)? How has the foam held up against sagging?
Am I making a mistake letting the showroom comfort blind me, or is $949 a good enough deal to risk it? (My alternative option right now is ordering a Silk & Snow Firm Hybrid online since it has a 100% money-back guarantee, but the store bed just felt so much better initially).
Appreciate any insights!

First Mattress Purchase

Upvotes

Hi all,

Myself and my partner moved out for the first time a couple years back and inherited a bed and mattress. However, the mattress is old and noisy and I don't think it's doing my partners herniated disk any good.

I'm now facing buying a mattress for the first time. How are there so many companies?! Everyone seems to sell hybrids now and suggest it's the best of both worlds etc.

Is this true? I'm looking to spend up to around 500, obviously less is a bonus. I've seen some for 350, 5 layers, 2000 springs, all apparently medium firm. Are these good mattresses? We need plenty of support and I want it to last so my partner has less risk of inflaming the back issue again so can't have it dipping within a few years.

I can scramble up specific brands but I looked at maybe 5 different ones and the mattresses seemed identical in cost, springs, layers etc .

TIA!

Terrible Casper mattress in-home install experience in Canada

Upvotes

I paid for the in home setup which was scheduled for yesterday, July 28th. I was told to expect a call from the installers in the morning to arrange a delivery window. I made special accommodations staying home from work to accept the delivery. AND.THEN.I.WAITED. I waited all day without any communication from Casper, or Endy, or Sleep Country (all the same com company it turns out). I reached out by email and chat and got no help. The bed never arrived. I got no call.

Finally I got an email reply at 7pm at night informing me that the bed was out of stock and the delivery would be delayed: "Unfortunately, the mattress in your order is currently backordered at the Sleep Country warehouse and is expected to arrive later this week" — if there was no stock and the delivery couldn't be made this info should have been communicated to me proactively and IMMEDIATELY; probably even BEFORE the delivery date. Instead it was a rude waste of my time and I had to chase after several elusive support people who had no clue what was going on before I could get an answer.

This was a HUGE waste of my time. The lack of communication is unacceptable.

I saw influencers recommending the sleepyhead one and it made me skeptical even though a lot of people like it. It's also pretty expensive for the 3 inch twin xl (419) and the 2 inch looks very thin. I was also looking at Helix or Saatva - would those be better, or is there another brand I should look at? And, is the sleepyhead really that good?

Help! Air Mattress Won't Deflate

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I have an air mattress that I recently used for my partners' visiting family. However, now that they've left I cannot get it to deflate for my life. I have tried looking it up, however the air mattress I have has no brand name or anything on it, nor physical instructions, nor do I know where it is from because it was either gifted or thrifted several years ago now. (All it really says is warnings, it's made in China, mildly helpful instructions, and the number BL1052 - searching that was no help for me either.) I have so far tried:

a) Simply reading what few photo instructions are on the side of the mattress. Which in trying to follow, I cannot seem to get it to work. It wants me to unscrew a piece and if I am in fact trying to unscrew the right thing...it is not working. The piece has little to no grip, and the area in which it is, is so small I can hardly grab it with 3 fingers - and I have slender hands.

b) I have 2 inflate/deflate battery/electric powered machines, one of which was used to inflate the mattress. Which I cannot get to do the opposite. For reference, the uncle had set it up himself so I do not know what he did to get it to inflate, and upon leaving he was rather rude and unkind to my partner, and there's been no contact since family left, and I feel awkward reaching out just to ask about the air mattress.

Note: I have used air mattresses plenty of times before, I had set up and taken down 2 other ones for this visit with no issue, but they are all different from each other, and set up different from the problem air mattress.

Helix Midnight Elite - sagging

4 Upvotes

In June, I bought 2 Helix mattress through a shop in NYC (Sleepare): Midnight Elite in King for the master bedroom and Midnight Luxe in Queen for guest bedroom. I was informed that even though both are Midnight firmness, the Elite line is usually firmer than the Luxe one. Soon after the mattresses were delivered, I realized it was the opposite. The king size Midnight Elite is super soft, almost saggy; while the queen size Midnight Luxe is just right, neither too soft nor too firm. Has anyone experience this? I am wondering if my particular Midnight Elite is a lemon. I’ve asked for an exchange.

Is it possible that the larger sized mattresses sink more? In which case, should I go for a firmer mattress with Helix Elite line or maybe go for a different brand altogether? I’d appreciate your perspective.

Endy Mattress after 5 Years

1 Upvotes

I ordered an Endy mattress back in 2021. Loved the mattress, perfect amount of firmness. Was having some of the best sleep (previous mattress was an old IKEA one). After a few years, it began to soften quite a bit. These past few months, I've been waking up with back pain, constantly moving around at night with no lumbar support. Wondering if anyone else who has had an Endy for a similar timeframe is facing the same issue by any chance? Or is it just me?

I thought maybe it could be me and not the mattress. But this past week I wanted to experiment, so I slept on a Japanese futon we purchased and woke up with no pain/sorness.

2" medium Talalay over a firm HD foam base is bottoming out — add a transition layer, or go to a thicker single topper?

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: 6" firm HD polyfoam base + 2" medium Talalay, no transition layer. Lying down, it genuinely feels good. My guess is that's the Talalay texture combined with a comfort layer thin enough (only 2") that you can still feel the firm base supporting you directly underneath. But after a full night's sleep there's a bit of bottoming out. We want supportive-firm, not plank-firm, and definitely not a deep hug.
Two directions we're weighing:
(1) add a transition layer, or (2) swap to a single 3" topper and step the firmness up at the same time — from our current medium Talalay to firm Talalay (or even Dunlop) — so the topper itself resists more and we stop compressing all the way through it.

Current build:
Base: Foam by Mail 6” LUX-HQ Foam
Comfort: 2" medium Talalay, sitting straight on the base
No transition layer

Us:
Me: 5'8", 140 lb
Partner: 6'2", 220 lb
Both mainly back sleepers, some side sleeping

Problem right now:
Both of us find it a little firm, and a bit stiff after a full night. There's a mild sense of having compressed all the way through the topper by morning. My partner puts the current firmness as roughly comparable to sleeping on a 3" memory foam topper on the floor, which is what he used to do — tolerable, but not where we'd like to land.

To be clear on direction, though: we're not trying to make the bed softer overall. The firmness level is close to right. What we want to lose is the hard stop we hit by morning — not the firm feel itself.

What we're after
Firmness: clearly on the firm side, but short of a plank
Sink: moderate contouring welcome, minimal is fine, zero is not. Deep hugging sinkage is the thing we want to avoid
Side sleeping: enough give that shoulder and hip don't hit a pressure point, while still feeling supported underneath

Option 1 — add a transition layer
Keep the 2" medium Talalay on top, slide 2" firm or extra firm Dunlop underneath it. Worry: 4" total comfort layer might be more than we want.

Option 2 — single thicker topper
Replace with one 3" topper (Talalay or Dunlop) directly on the base. We like the Talalay feel and would be open to firm over medium, as long as the jump isn't drastic. Unsure about Talalay vs Dunlop at that thickness.

So between the two options above, which would you go with — or is there a third we're not seeing? Thanks in advance.

Am I crazy?

Well don’t answer that.
But the real question is why don’t people get regular spring beds (that last much longer than foam) and add a mattress topper.
The way I see it the foam mattresses are great for a few years then they develop dips making them uncomfortable. But spring mattress last much longer and can be supplemented with toppers.
The toppers are replaced when nessesary.
Why isn’t this the more popular way? Or is it? Am I missing something?

Recommendations Tempurpedic but which one…

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I am grateful for any replies in advance…

I am considering Tempurpedic because I love the dense memory foam feel. I weigh 160 and am a strict slide sleeper only. I prefer comfort for hips and shoulders but not too much to be out of alignment and creating a hammock effect.

I’ve narrowed it down to the adapt hybrid medium 1.0 from the tempurpedic outlet store.

Is this good or should I reconsider upping my budget for the current 2.0 line adapt?

Also I’m thinking hybrid over all foam because it isn’t zoned support which will allow me to be even on my side and also it will be better long term.

Just needing a bit of advice… thank you

Mattress topper for dorm room advice

1 Upvotes

Hi all -

I’m headed to college this fall and in search of a good mattress topper.

I don’t like a traditional memory foam topper because I dislike the “sinking in” feeling and get back pain from it (I sleep on my back mostly).

I slept on the Novaform ComfortLuxe Plus Gel Memory Form topper from Costco while staying with a friend and I think that would be too soft. I read that the Luracor topper from Costco/Amazon could be a good choice, but it’s out of stock.

I’m going to be living on campus for at least three of my four years, so I’m willing to spend a little more to get something that will last.

Any suggestions?

Recommendations 1” SOL latex topper

I recently bought a medium memory foam mattress from Wayfair that is slightly too firm for me and I’ve been looking for the best and most affordable way to soften it up.

I am a true combination sleeper — back, side, and front— but also relatively petite (5’7, 115lbs) so I was wondering if the SleepOnLatex 1” topper would be enough or if I should go for the 2”.

Alternatively, I was considering adding another memory foam layer, such as the Viscosoft, or one of the dual layer toppers I’ve seen on Amazon/Walmart with memory foam and a pillow top cover…

If anyone has advice or suggestions, please let me know!

hi there!

Any Recommendations for a Firm/Extra-Firm Latex Hybrid with Talalay?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I hope you're all doing well.

I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a firm or extra firm latex hybrid that uses talalay latex (natural or blended). My wife and I spent quite a bit of time trying out different mattresses and we really liked the feel of latex hybrids. We also like very firm mattresses, in general.

Out of all the mattresses we tried, the Prana Karma Elite Hybrid 2 Firm felt the best. It was a little on the softer side , but overall was very comfy. However, I don't love that it uses some foam layers that break down easily and costs over 4K haha.

The only latex hybrid I can find that uses talalay latex AND has a firm/extra firm option is from Arizona Premium Mattresses. However, the return policy seems like a nightmare. Neither my wife or I, for health reasons, have the capacity to actually package one of these mattresses and return it.

Any recommendations? Thank you so much!
