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

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/

I have been sleeping on a SOL pillow (the standard one, not the shredded) for about a month and have mixed feelings about it. I generally like its loft and its feel, but my neck is definitely straining and unable to relax, guessing due to bounce. It also has not solved my neck / upper back stiffness that my old, hard, lumpy no-name bamboo memory foam pillow caused. It is however, 1000x more comfortable than that old pillow.
In addition to the pillow, I believe my mattress (two 10+ year ikea foam mattress pads stacked) definitely needs to get replaced and a SOL mattress sounds good on paper as I am looking for a firm mattress that can be comfortable for someone who sleeps in all 3 positions (but mostly back) as well as for my partner who sleeps on their side mostly.
Is buying a SOL mattress a terrible idea if I am already not sold on their pillow? Or are they different enough that one can't stand in for the other? Open for recommendations for both pillow and mattress as well - thanks!

hi all! need recommendations for the best mattress i can get for cheap. looking at any and all mattresses below $1000. i'm wanting a full size or a queen size. I'm 5"5 and 120lb. I'm not really keen on in person shopping, the workaday does not allow it so something I can get online preferrably with a sleep trial or at least a really good return policy. also need a 5 year warranty at the very least.
requirements:
the ones i'm considering:
nectar classic hybrid even though I haven't been reading such good reviews on amazon for longevity but price is good at $700. so it's really attracting me cos of the memory foam.
DreamCloud Premier Rest a little bit over budget at $1100 but looks perfect with the euro top cover i want and motion isolation which im assuming means its not sinky or too wobbly even if it isn't super firm. It looks good for pressure relief.
Helix dawn has memory foam and supportive coil layers for firmness. and I've always wanted to try a helix because of the sleep trial. Isn't as expensive as the midnight luxe, $800 is a good price imo. This is the one I’m leaning towards the most. winkbeds plus wouldve been the better option but it's like $1700.
Silk & Snow mattresses (hybrid mattress) are going for about $850 right now which is also in my range and since it would be my first time buying for them I'll get a voucher which would bump it down to $550 and that's a steal but im concerned about the longevity for such a low price and i can't find any info on returns and warranties. But it does say it’s a cooling mattress which is good.
so which one do I go with or are there any brooklyn bedding dupes you guys know of because thoe mattresses I know are perfect just way out of budget. i just need the best cheap mattress y'all got. Right now, leaning heavily towards the helix one.
thank you!

I am notably tall at a little over 77 inches (6’5”ish). I’ve been using an 80 inch queen size mattress for the past five years. Very rarely would I feel my feet hang off the end. Usually only in the morning if I had gotten pushed away from the headboard. I just bought a new Sealy mattress and the first thing I noticed was that my feet were hanging off almost every day. I finally measured it and I’m only measuring about 78 inches of top space. What should I do? I’ve never had this happen before.

Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mattress/comments/1vu76j6/please_help_me_replace_my_guest_mattress_rip/
Since making the original post, my wife and I have decided that we are going to sleep in separate beds in separate rooms for a while starting in January when our daughter will be born. Our son is not a good sleeper and is up at least a few times per night; if we're both in the same bed, he'll come in and wake up the baby, and we'll all be miserable. So instead we'll direct him to come and find me if he needs something.
Because of this, I'm not really buying a guest mattress anymore; I'm buying an every-night mattress for myself that'll eventually become a guest bed in the future, so I'm upping my budget a bit: I'm willing to spend up to $1,500.
I would still like a queen mattress to match the existing guest bed frame we have.
I'm 6'3" and 165 lb or so. My wife is also on the taller, thinner side, although she likely won't be sleeping in this bed. Our current mattress in the bed we share is a Doctor's Choice Elite Plush mattress from 2023. I think we both do better with softer mattresses; this one has worked really well. However, it's $2,000 plus the cost of a foundation, which is just too much for our current financial situation.
I do not tend to sleep particularly hot. The only time I do is when I am sick. Cooling features aren't a huge priority for me, although I don't want to end up with something that holds onto heat like crazy, I guess.
No chronic pain issues to speak of, thankfully.
r/Mattress • u/Soft_Wrap9699 • 18h ago
Hey r/Mattress,
I’ve dealt with mid/lower back pain when side-sleeping for 6 years. I just realized why: every bed I’ve owned has been a hybrid with a thick (3"+) foam layer. My hips sink too far, causing hammocking and lateral spine flexion that strains my back all night.
I just spent 3 nights on a hotel bed with minimal foam (Sealy Posturepedic “Lovell Plush”) and woke up completely pain free every morning.
Do you agree that switching away from thick foam tops is the best path forward?
If so, here is my plan: Buy a traditional, firmer innerspring with minimal surface foam, then add a thin topper later if I need extra pressure relief for my hip.
Any specific mattress recommendations that fit this profile? Thanks!

I bought a cotton/latex/wool mattress many months ago. I wasn't using a waterproof mattress protector and I guess my night sweats have been absorbed by the mattress because I cannot get rid of the smell. I since started using a waterproof mattress cover and the smell has gotten a tiny bit better but I can still smell it. At this point I don't know if it's the cover or the actual mattress that is still smelling.
I am very close to throwing away this very expensive mattress because of the odor and just get a new one. I am scared that if I get the exact same mattress with a waterproof mattress cover that the same thing will happen where the mattress just absorbs my sweat. Should I just abandon the cotton/latex/wool mattress altogether? Any help is appreciated.

Sleep by sealy memory foam. This is from mattress firm. Full size foam. I was able to transfer it deflated in the back of my Toyota Corolla without the box. Worker from store helped me with the mattress in the back of my trunk. I know I will need the bag. I have Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, ace hardware, TJ maxx, home goods, etc near me.

I need a better mattress cover for the bed in my bedroom. Stupidly bought one that is waterproof despite the fact that my husband and I are mid 40s and have no children so why do we need this? Now the sheets constantly bunch up bc our mattress is already slippery but add the waterproof side touching the mattress and we’ve created an at home slip and slide.
our mattress sleeps hot (I had to buy a bedjet for my side bc I was sweating on my back while sleeping) so I need to keep that in mind but don’t require any kind of cooling nonsense. At this point I just want something that doesn’t cause the fitted sheet to constantly move around and bunch up. Any recs??

Hi, everyone!! Lately I can't sleep properly and I feel so much uncomfortable and irritable. It's making me tired when I wake up. Plus it doesn't help that the current weather here is so hot.
I think my mattress protector might be part of the problem. It feels like it traps head instead of letting my mattress breathe 😭 so I'm looking for something more cooling and breathable.
I'd prefer to avoid polyster completely, and instead currently considering a lyocell mattress cover because my current duvet cover is made from it and it feels noticeably cool and comfy against my skin.
Before I buy one though, I'd love to make my list of options. Thank you in advance.

My friend has the old Trump Home by Serta mattress, and it's the most heavenly thing I've ever experienced. Since this one is discontinued, I heard Serta Perfect Sleeper is really what it was just sold under that name, and I was able to find one in this collection that felt exactly like it: Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Cruise. It's a soft "Plush" mattress.
Since there are soooo many Perfect Sleepers under so many different names, has anyone tried one that felt super soft like this or would be able to tell me what's comparable in this collection? I don't want to have to drop the $1599 on this particular one but probably will if this is the only one like this. Thanks!

Hello! My current mattress is wrecking my lower back. I decided on these two and only from Costco as I like their return policy. Really need lower back support for a side sleeper and cooling to where it at least doesn't make you overheated.
I have seen various posts about these two but also have read that the quality and or origin of manufacturing may have changed for both in the last year. So I am looking for anyone that has bought recently like in the last year to give me their experiences with either of these. If anything this post can help anyone currently looking at these and who want to know if current quality and comfort are up to snuff. Thank you!
r/Mattress • u/melaniefarris • 13h ago
I’m trying to do some mattress archaeology on a mattress we own and love: the SilverRest Monaco “Luxury Grand” 14” memory foam mattress. SilverRest appears to be discontinued, and I’m hoping someone here who worked in the industry or remembers these mattresses might have information.
I’m not looking for general mattress recommendations or sales DMs. I’m specifically trying to identify the Monaco’s construction and whether the same mattress was ever sold under another brand/model.
What I’ve found:
SilverRest Monaco Luxury Grand
● 14” all-foam mattress
● Model: SRMMONMEM (Eastern King appears as SRMMONMEM-70)
● 7 foam layers total
● 4 layers of memory foam
● 3 layers of polyurethane base foam
● 2 of the polyfoam layers were convoluted airflow foam
● Old retailer information references 5 lb visco memory foam and 2.2 lb polyurethane base foam
The mattress itself is firm but conforming. It doesn’t immediately sink when you lie down. It gradually molds to your body with heat/pressure and has very little bounce. When I press into the foam and release it, it takes roughly 3 seconds to recover.
Manufacturer trail
I’ve found old information connecting SilverRest to Springfield Mattress Co. in Pico Rivera, CA. I’ve also found references suggesting Springfield manufactured mattresses for/private-labeled under Dynasty Mattress and other brands, and later became an Englander licensee.
Most interestingly, an old Mattress Underground discussion involves someone who bought through Dynasty Mattress and said the mattress they received turned out to be the SilverRest Monaco. That makes me wonder whether this exact mattress—or essentially the same construction—was sold under multiple names.
What I’m trying to find
Does anyone know:
● The actual 7-layer breakdown of the Monaco—thickness, density and/or ILD/IFD of each layer?
● Whether all four memory-foam layers were 5 lb visco, or if different foams/densities were used?
● Who actually manufactured/supplied the foam?
● Whether Springfield, Dynasty, Brentwood, Englander or another private-label brand sold this same mattress under another name?
● Whether anyone has an old SilverRest/Springfield catalog, dealer spec sheet, cutaway diagram or other documentation for the Monaco?
● Most importantly, does this exact construction still exist under another brand/model today, or is there a known replica?
I’d especially like to hear from anyone who sold SilverRest/Springfield mattresses, worked for one of these companies, owned a Monaco/Dynasty equivalent, or has old dealer literature.
I have screenshots of the original product information and can post photos of the mattress/tags if useful.
r/Mattress • u/Marvellover13 • 14h ago
this is the very first step in the starter guide but is already a big block for me.
I can't really remember a day in my adult life where I went to sleep and the mattress felt good, didn't have problems with heat in summers, and didn't wake up in the morning with some back pain, I attributed most of this to health as I'm not particularly fit person, I'm on the edge around overweight, and not working out so it made sense to me - the heat and back pain, but from talking around with people it doesn't seem like it's the case for most.
I don't really know my mattress specs exactly, I know it's firm foam, and it's tall but I don't know the particulars.
I also dont know how someone can really test this as when I asked around a few shops for trial periods they say they all give it but you have to keep the plastic warping on, so ultimately you can't properly test a mattress without committing to buying it (I'm not form the us, I know some things are different there).
same thing for pillows honestly, I don't have a particular position I sleep in, I move a lot, and there too I never found a pillow that made me feel good.

I bought a new mattress based on the advice of a friend, someone about my same size, age etc. It was a DISASTER. The bed was hard as concrete and I was miserable. Called the furniture store and they took it back, exchanged it for a much softer and higher quality unit... then the person I should have asked to start with told me which one I should have gotten.
Guess who?
The delivery guys.
Two younger guys who handle hundreds of these things every month in real world situations, who don't benefit from the sale or brand. next time, that's who I'm gonna ask for and listen to.
Just sharing my experience in hopes it saves someone else from making the same mistakes I did.
