14 Best Mattresses That'll Have You Sleeping Like a Baby

We've updated this guide to incorporate new data from our recent test of over 40 mattresses. We've added new recommendations from Nolah, Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster. Saatva's Classic Mattress remains our pick for best overall mattress.

You spend (ideally!) a third of your day in bed, so picking the best possible mattress to keep you comfortable and well-rested is a huge decision. For starters, they're expensive, so you want to make sure you're investing in one that's worth the money. You also want to ensure it'll lead to good sleep night after night, whether you prefer to sleep on your back, side, stomach or all of the above. With so many options to choose from, it's hard to know which will feel supportive and last for years.

What's the best mattress for most people? Our top-tested model for 2023 is the Saatva Classic Mattress, which is suitable for a wide range of sleepers. We appreciate that it offers quality construction and convenient delivery, but doesn't cost a fortune. Plus, it consistently earns top marks from our testers. If you're on a tighter budget or prefer a boxed model for DIY set up, we recommend the Allswell Luxe Hybrid Mattress.

While there's no one-size-fits-all mattress, the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab have tested and evaluated hundreds of mattress models to find the best recommendations for every type of sleeper. Our evaluations consist of thoroughly researching the brands, materials and features, having our team of scientists and engineers review the models firsthand and sending them home to sleep testers to see how they perform after extended use. On top of that, we survey our proprietary consumer panel to get in-depth feedback from a wide range of people. In the past three years, we've surveyed more than 10,000 mattress owners and reviewed answers to more than 170,000 questions to help us select the best mattresses you can buy.

How to choose your best mattress:

Before you dive in to our reviews, take a moment to think about what matters most to you when you're shopping for a mattress — it's a highly personal decision, but it's crucial to make the right one. Consider your sleep position, body type, feel preference, budget and any specific needs, like temperature regulation and motion isolation from our sleeping partner. You can find more information about how to choose your perfect mattress — and how to sort through the seemingly endless options — at the end of this guide.

As you shop, keep an eye out sales in honor of Sleep Week, which occurs from March 12th through 18th. Bedding brands may offer deals on their mattresses during this week, especially since it correlates with daylight saving time, so getting good sleep is top of mind.
