IF YOUR TIKTOK feed looks like ours, then it’s probably flooded with influencer-endorsed mattress ads that promise better sleep with just the click of a button. The truth: No mattress will magically cure all your sleep issues.
But after years of testing mattresses, I know firsthand that the right bed has the potential to make a big difference in how you feel in the morning, and even throughout the day. A little while ago, I realized that the mattress I’d been sleeping on for years was fueling mystery back and hip pain. After swapping it out for a mattress that was a better fit for my needs, the pain quickly dissipated—and it hasn't returned since.
But don’t just take my word for it. Experts agree that a new mattress can be a life-changing purchase. Still, it can be exhausting to sort through all your options online.
And if you’re already losing sleep thanks to an old, lumpy mattress, you probably don’t have the energy to Goldilocks your way to the perfect bed. WoMen’s Health editors have been testing mattresses for the past five years and found that mattress shopping often requires tons of trial and error because everyone has different preferences, sleeping positions, and ailments. Maybe you're a side sleeper, or perhaps you need a mattress for back pain.
Whatever your specific situation, all you need is a quality mattress that helps you sleep through the night without aches or pains. After extensive research, we feel confident that these are the seven best mattresses worth buying. Each one caters to specific sleep preferences, lifestyle needs, and even health considerations, whether you want a cooling pillow top or a bed under $1,000.
The Saatva Classic is our overall favorite mattress, thanks to its luxurious feel, featuring two layers of coils, pressure-relieving gel-infused memory foam, and a plush 3-inch organic cotton pillow top. The mattress is available in two height options, 11.5 and 14.5 inches, which are amazingly the same price. (Our tester, WH digital designer Taryn Colbert, slept on the 14.5-inch option.) And it offers three firmness levels—plush soft, luxury firm, and firm—an unusual yet welcome way to customize the feel of your bed. "I love that it's all organic cotton—goodbye, microplastics," Colbert says.
