Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: 10 to 15 years (depending on the model)

Pros:

Many mattress options
Range of available features and firmness levels
Lengthy warranty

Cons:

Limited in-store experiences

Helix has a remarkably large selection, with six mattresses in its basic Helix lineup, which are all also available in “Luxe” and “Elite” configurations for an additional cost. The Luxe models have a few extra features, including a more breathable Tencel fabric cover, enhanced contouring and additional support layers that add an extra 2 inches in height. The Elite models feature even more support, cooling technology and foams. The company’s most awarded mattress is the Helix Midnight Luxe, a hybrid that has a medium feel that the company claims is not too soft or too firm.

If that doesn’t suit you, the company also sells the softer Sunset and Moonlight models. Conversely, if you need something that falls into the firm category, look into the Twilight and Dawn. Beyond firmness levels, Helix’s mattresses can address specific sleeping styles and needs. The brand offers the Dusk Luxe, which it claims is great for couples who have different preferences; the “Plus” for big and tall sleepers; and a kids option. All that’s to say: There’s a mattress model to accommodate just about all preferences at Helix. The one downside is that the brand currently doesn’t offer many in-store experiences and primarily operates online.

Not sure which mattress to pick? Helix’s Sleep Quiz can point you to the ideal mattress. Forbes Vetted team members have also personally tested the Helix Midnight, the Helix Sunset and the Helix Midnight Luxe, so check out our reviews if you want to know more about how these mattresses perform.

While Saatva is an online company, you can try its mattresses at any one of its 16 showrooms across the U.S. If you’d rather test out a mattress in your own home, Saatva’s lengthy 365-night trial period gives you plenty of time to make a final decision.

Avocado is the leading retailer for sustainable, organic mattresses. The company offers eight different beds, including crib mattresses and a vegan mattress. Its top-rated option, the Avocado Green Mattress, is a hybrid that uses a number of organic materials, including latex, cotton and wool. You can get this mattress in a plush, medium or firm model.

The company has nearly every certification you can think of for its materials and business practices: It holds GreenGuard Gold certifications for its mattresses and bedding, meaning the products meet low chemical emissions limits and are safe for indoor spaces. It’s also a Certified B-Corp, a designation that shows the company has met a variety of social and environmental performance criteria. That’s just to name a few of Avocado’s certifications, though—you can learn about others on its website. Customers can order Avocado’s mattresses online or visit one of the brand’s stores.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Pros:

Long trial period
Options that fit many needs and budgets

Cons:

Mattresses need a few days to expand

Nectar mattresses are among our readers’ all-time favorite beds. They’re designed to accommodate a variety of sleepers, as the company’s three mattress options each come in memory foam and hybrid versions. The Forbes Vetted team’s preferred mattress from this brand is the Nectar Luxe—it’s the company’s tallest and most supportive bed, and also offers great temperature regulation.

Nectar’s mattresses come with a 365-night trial period and lifetime warranty. However, Nectar offers a bed-in-box style of delivery, which allows you to skip in-person delivery scheduling or additional setup fees. In fact, Nectar is on our list of the best mattresses in a box you can buy. Nectar’s mattresses are also CertiPUR-US-certified, meaning that the foam they’re made of is free of certain toxic chemicals. You can order online or shop at one of the brand’s partnering mattress stores, and the company gives you the option to add a fresh set of sheets, a pillow and a mattress protector to your order, too.

Our team has tested the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress and the Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress to help you get a better understanding of what it’s like to sleep on a Nectar bed.

The company offers three different mattresses, all of which are delivered bed-in-a-box style: the DreamCloud Hybrid, Premier Hybrid and Premier Rest Hybrid Mattress. While each mattress differs slightly in firmness and feel, they all provide the best-of-both-worlds medium-firm sensation that hybrid mattresses are known for.

DreamCloud mattresses come with a 365-night trial period and lifetime warranty for your peace of mind. You can order online or shop at a local retail location where the brand’s mattresses are available.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Availability in many physical retail locations

Cons:

Limited selection

With models starting at $645 when not on sale, Tuft & Needle is one of the most affordable places to buy a mattress. The brand has three mattress offerings, two of which—the Original and the Mint—are all-foam options. The foams used in these offer some of the same benefits of traditional memory foam, like limited motion transfer and pressure relief. The third mattress, the T&N Mint Hybrid, is a hybrid version of the Mint, and offers similar features as the original two in addition to greater support and airflow thanks to its coil base.

If you’d prefer to test out your bed before you buy, the company has mattresses in many stores across the U.S. For those who prefer to order online, shipping is free. Bonus: If you return your mattress, Tuft & Needle donates it to a charity or nonprofit organization of your choosing.

To help decide if Tuft & Needle may be a good fit for you, here’s our Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid Mattress review.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty

Pros:

All-natural latex options at an affordable price

Cons:

Mattresses may have a slight odor when unboxed
Available at only a few in-person retail locations

The best latex mattresses are durable, eco-friendly and pressure-relieving. With beds ranging in price from $1,299 to $1,999 (when not discounted), Awara provides all of these qualities for a more affordable price than its main competitor on this list, Avocado. The company offers two hybrid mattresses—the standard model and a Premier model—that are each built with natural Talalay latex, organic New Zealand wool and organic cotton.

Like Avocado, Awara has a plethora of certifications, including Greenguard Gold and Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, which guarantee the materials used are not only organic and free of toxins, but ethically sourced. Awara also offers a 365-night trial period, similar to other brands on this list, as well as a limited lifetime warranty, You can find Awara mattresses at some mattress stores across the U.S., but the brand mainly sells its beds online.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: White-glove delivery | Trial: 90 nights | Warranty: 10 years

Pros:

Complimentary white-glove service
Luxury details

Cons:

Very expensive

Stearns & Foster is synonymous with luxury, thanks to its large offering of premium beds. Many of the company’s five mattress options (the Studio, the Estate, the Lux Estate, the Lux Hybrid and the Reserve) are constructed with proprietary innerspring coils and Tempur-Indulge, an exclusive memory foam developed by Tempur-Pedic specifically for Stearns & Foster mattresses. In fact, the Stearns & Foster Reserve is ranked as our overall favorite luxury mattress due to its hand-tufted pillow top, pressure-relieving memory foam and ventilated base.

Furthermore, Stearns & Foster crafts each bed in the U.S. and offers complimentary white-glove delivery, which includes removing your old mattress to make way for the new one. You can order a Stearns & Foster mattress online or shop at one of the mattress stores they’re carried in.

For a more comprehensive look at the Stearns & Foster experience, here’s our Stearns & Foster Lux Estate Mattress review.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box or white-glove delivery for an added fee | Trial: 120 nights | Warranty: 20 years

Pros:

Specialty mattress for plus-size sleepers
Temperature-regulating properties to provide cooling relief

Cons:

Limited selection
Not available to try at a physical retail location

Plenty of mattress companies offer beds designed for heavier sleepers, but few brands are focused on this type of mattress exclusively. Big Fig carries just one mattress that’s specifically designed to hold more weight, as well as an adjustable base and mattress foundation that also provide greater support.

The brand’s mattress, the Big Fig Mattress, is designed accommodate up to 550 pounds per sleeper (queen size or larger). Its cover is made with technology that’s heat-activated, and intended to provide cooling relief and combat sweaty nights. It comes with a 120-night trial and 20-year warranty, during which the company says it will repair or replace a product at no charge. Big Fig is an online-only business, with its mattress available on its site and online at Walmart. The brand says it chooses to stay online so customers can feel confident they’re getting a genuine product.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: 10-year limited warranty

Pros:

Delivery as fast as two days
Large selection

Cons:

Trials and warranties may differ

Yup, we’re talking about Amazon—a surprisingly convenient way to purchase a new mattress (especially if you’re a Prime member). Two brands worth noting that we haven’t already covered in this list that are available on Amazon are Casper and Purple.

These popular mattress retailers offer a number of their products directly on Amazon, and they’re Prime-eligible, too—meaning they could arrive at your door in as little as two days with free shipping.

It’s worth noting, though, that trial and warranty terms may differ if you purchase on Amazon rather than directly from the mattress manufacturer’s site. However, Amazon purchases of both Casper and Purple mattresses are eligible for these companies’ standard in-home trials and warranty coverage.

Want to learn more about Casper and Purple? We’ve tested and reviewed the Original Purple Mattress, the Purple RestorePremier Hybrid Mattress, the Casper Original Mattress, the Casper One Mattress and the Casper Snow Mattress.

Pros:

Inexpensive offerings
Large range

Cons:

No luxury brands
Limited return policy

Walmart has quietly amassed a strong discount mattress selection over the past few years. The big-box retailer now offers mattresses from legacy brands like Serta, along with affordable newcomers Allswell and Zinus. A great number of these mattresses are priced under $500, with most solidly in the $150 to $350 range, making Walmart a great place to snap up a mattress for less.

Many of Walmart’s mattresses come with free shipping, and some can even be picked up at your local store in case you need a new sleep surface immediately. Just be aware that trial and warranty details may vary based on brand. Keep in mind, too, that Walmart allows you to return a mattress for free within 90 days, but that’s only if it’s unopened; mattresses that have been unboxed or expanded require coordination with Walmart’s Customer Support team (plus may incur additional costs) to return. And in case you have an old bed you want to ditch after you’ve bought your new one, Walmart offers a mattress haul-away and disposal service for $105.

Shipping: Free | Delivery: Bed in a box | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: 10 years

Pros:

Free shipping
Wide selection of mattresses

Cons:

Mattresses take time to fully expand

Leesa is a well-known online mattress company, offering a variety of mattresses—including a full line-up of memory foam, cooling and kids’ options. However, they really stand out in their selection of hybrid beds. Their catalog of eight hybrid offerings includes the best-selling Sapira Hybrid, the plus-size friendly Plus Hybrid, and the eco-friendly Natural Hybrid. Additionally, Leesa offers a 100-night in-home trial and a 10-year warranty on each of their mattresses. Shipping is also free, and the mattresses are delivered compressed and rolled up in a shipping box—so they may take up to 24 hours to fully spring back to life.

If you prefer shopping in person, Leesa mattresses are available to test at West Elm and Pottery Barn stores across the U.S. They’re also available at several other furniture retailers. For the best of both worlds, try the mattresses in store to hone in on your favorite, and then order online for the best discounts plus free shipping.

The Forbes Vetted team has tried three Leesa hybrid mattresses. Check out our reviews of the Leesa Original Hybrid, the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid and the Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid for more about these beds.

How We Chose The Best Places To Buy A Mattress

When choosing the best places to buy a mattress, we consulted our mattress and sleep experts who have tested and reviewed over 200 mattress brands. From there, we identified the top-rated mattress brands and evaluated each retailer’s product selection and purchasing policies.

We checked the materials used across each brand’s selection to ensure the mattresses are durable, supportive and high-quality. We prioritized brands that use thick coils, dense memory foam and latex in its mattress constructions.
We evaluated each brand’s trial period, warranty and shipping policies. Every mattress company we recommend offers at least one free shipping option and arrives with white-glove delivery or as a bed in a box. We also made sure each brand offers generous in-home trials, along with extended warranties should any defects emerge in the future.
Because sleep needs and shopping budgets are unique, we made sure to include a variety of mattress brands to different preferences.
For each mattress brand, we looked into whether it’s available at any in-person stores or if it’s an online-only brand.
We always thoroughly research consumer reviews and only recommend products that are highly rated.

What To Consider When Shopping For A Mattress

Here are a few things to consider when shopping for your ideal mattress. These factors may also help steer you towards one mattress company over another, depending on your needs and preferences.

Sleeping Position

Your preferred sleeping position can help you narrow down the ideal firmness level and mattress type for you.

Most people are side sleepers. Generally, side sleepers can sleep comfortably on most beds, as long as they allow the spine to remain neutral and aligned. Back sleepers and stomach sleepers both benefit from a mattress on the firmer side to keep their spine straight.

Body Type

Larger people tend to sink down farther into their mattress, causing the mattress to feel softer and warmer than advertised. More pressure on the foam may also cause the mattress to sag or degrade earlier than you expect.

If you are heavier, you may want to consider a mattress specifically made for larger people. These mattresses are made with reinforced materials and designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and long-lasting sleep surface for people over 250 pounds.

Firmness

Firmness is a huge factor in a bed’s overall comfort. While medium-firm is a universally popular choice, it’s critical to choose a firmness level that’s right for your specific needs and desires.

Firmer beds are better for keeping the spine aligned, but softer beds offer more pressure relief for sore or achy joints. Medium-firm and all other firmness levels feel slightly different across brands, so it’s important to choose a mattress with a generous trial period so you can determine if your mattress is truly the right fit comfort-wise.

Construction

The two most common types of mattresses are foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses. While foam mattresses consist solely of various layers of foam, hybrid mattresses feature foam and coils.

For the most part, foam mattresses are less expensive, but they also have a shorter lifespan and may not provide the right level of support for larger people or people with back pain. Hybrid mattresses can be more expensive, but they also offer more spinal support for people who need it.

Additionally, the foam in either type of mattress is either latex or memory foam. Latex is a natural foam that’s a bit firmer and bouncier, while memory foams are synthetic, but typically offer more body contouring and pressure relief.

Temperature

If you sleep hot, you may want to consider a mattress with additional cooling features.

Hybrid mattresses may have improved airflow thanks to their layer of coils. Perforated foams allow for better air circulation, and covers made out of breathable fabrics like cotton and lyocell may help you stay cool, as well.

For more active cooling features, consider mattresses that feature gel-infused foams or covers made out of cool-to-the-touch fabrics like GlacioTex.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation refers to how well the mattress is able to prevent movement from transferring across the entire surface of the mattress. High motion isolation means that you don’t feel your partner moving as much, which could equal fewer nighttime interruptions and better sleep.

Edge Support

Mattresses with good edge support are easy to get in and out of, and you can sit on the side of them without sliding off. You can also lie right on the edge without feeling like you’re going to roll off the side. These mattresses typically feature reinforced, extra-firm foam around the edges. Extra edge support is a good idea for larger people or people with mobility issues.

Buying Mattresses Online Vs. In-Store Shopping

You may be wondering if it’s better to buy your mattress online or shop in person. It’s ultimately a matter of personal preference, but generally, we recommend a combination of both approaches.

In-Person Shopping

In-store shopping is the traditional way to buy a mattress. This approach allows you to lie down on the model in a store and get a feel for its comfort level. While this is no substitute for sleeping on it for several nights (or for a longer trial period), it’s still better than flying completely blind and ordering your mattress online without ever touching it. Be aware that while you may find good deals here and there, mattresses purchased in a store tend to cost more than those you can buy online. If you tend to cave in high-pressure sales situations (or would just prefer to avoid these scenarios altogether), it may be better to research your options online and order that way.

Pros:

Ability to test mattresses in person
Option to ask a salesperson questions
May be able to go home with the mattress right away

Cons:

Buying Online

Even if you choose to try out your potential mattress in store, we recommend ultimately ordering the bed online. Generally, you can get a better deal ordering a mattress online—usually directly through the manufacturer itself. These direct-to-consumer retailers may offer promotions that aren’t available in store, although you’ll need to do a little research first to be sure. You may get better coverage terms too, like an extended in-home trial and a more generous warranty period: We recommend choosing a mattress with a long trial period of between 100 and 365 days, and a warranty of at least ten years. This allows you to test it out for a number of months and return it if it’s not a good fit, or replace the mattress down the line if it is for any reason faulty.

Pros:

Convenient
Easy to comparison shop
Often more promotions than in-store shopping

Cons:

Can’t feel the mattress before you buy
Need to read through sales lingo
Returns may be difficult or cost money
