With so much choice, the slightly trickier choice is figuring out which is the best mattress for you? That's where our expert guide comes in. We've been reviewing mattresses for years so we know what separates those that'll deliver you a quality night's sleep from those best avoided.

Our expert reviewers have extensive testing experience and look at all aspects of each mattress' performance, including pressure relief, support, comfort, temperature regulation, edge support, motion isolation and build quality. In addition, we enlist the help of a wider testing panel made up of people of different shapes, sizes and sleep styles, to help us create a balanced overview of each mattress.

In our tests, the soft, eco-friendly foams excelled in relieving tension around our reviewers' shoulders, hips and knees. We found the dual steel coil system provided exceptional support in the lower back area, too &ndash; the mattress has a Seal of Approval from the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations, so it's worth considering if you suffer from back pain.

In addition, we consistently slept cool, and would happily recommend the Saatva Classic to most hot sleepers.&nbsp;
If you're looking for the full 'hug' of memory foam, this isn't the best mattress for you &ndash; try the Nectar Memory Foam at number two instead. The Saatva Classic isn't cheap, but it is great value for a premium mattress, undercutting luxury hybrid rivals like the Helix Midnight Luxe by up to a few hundred dollars. If you can justify the price, this high-end hybrid innerspring is a sound investment that will help deliver a stunning night's sleep.&nbsp;
What we discovered during testing:
"A plush pillow top provides full-body cushioning, while a double layer of coils delivers sturdy lumbar support plus a little bounce.

The current Saatva offer knocks $200 off almost all sizes of the Classic, which means the queen is now $1570 rather than $1770. There are a couple of exceptions: there's no discount on the twin, and split cal king buyers will get $225 off.

That's over $400 cheaper than Casper and Purple's entry-level mattresses, and it also comes with up to $499 worth of free bedding. Only the Cocoon By Sealy Chill mattress, below, comes close for pure value for money. So what's it like to sleep on?

We awarded the flagship Nectar mattress a review score of 4.5 out of 5, rating it highly for comfort, support and temperature control. It has the modern feel of memory foam: you sink gently into it and the mattress contours to your body as you sleep, providing tailored pressure relief around your shoulders, hips and back, while helping align your spine. If you like the 'hug' of memory foam, you'll love this mattress.

Like all good-quality foam mattresses, the Nectar is very good at isolating motion &ndash; our reviewers weren't disturbed by their partners climbing in or out of bed. However, foam can be warmer than other mattress materials, so although our reviewers didn't overheat at night, we'd recommend that very hot sleepers choose a hybrid mattress instead, such as the Saatva above, or a dedicated cooling mattress like the Cocoon Chill below.

This all-foam option is the closest rival to the Nectar mattress above: the Nectar is two inches taller and comes with a free mattress protector; but the Chill is packed with better cooling tech, making it a better choice for hot sleepers.&nbsp;
The star of the show is the stretch-knit cover infused with phase change material. This temperature-regulating fabric is usually found on more expensive mattresses, and our reviewers found it did a brilliant job of absorbing and dissipating heat.

It's one of the most consistently cool mattresses we've slept on and even the hot sleeper on our review panel didn't wake up feeling sweaty. We also rated the Cocoon Chill particularly highly for pressure relief and spinal support during our three-week testing period. We found it to be best suited to lighter or average-weight sleepers, though &ndash; the heavier members of our panel didn't feel properly supported, so look elsewhere if you weigh more than 230lb.

The Cocoon Chill is still an all-foam mattress, so if you're a very hot sleeper, consider the next model up instead: the Cocoon Chill Hybrid, which starts from $740 (opens in new tab), or the premium Purple Plus at number 7. Otherwise, the Cocoon by Sealy Chill Memory Foam is an excellent choice for hot sleepers who love the feeling of foam, and the $199 worth of free pillows and sheets sweeten the deal.

You'll save 35% on the Chill itself, plus you'll take home up to $199 of free cooling pillows and sheets to overhaul your sleep space. The price of a queen size remains at a relatively economical $799 (was $1,239), making it equal to the Nectar Mattress above.&nbsp;View Deal (opens in new tab)

This luxury hybrid has a similar, classic mattress feel, with a responsive bounce and conforming support. And while it isn't quite as plush as the Saatva, it's a few hundred dollars cheaper and now comes with $599 of free bedding. We found that it delivers firm, responsive support for your spine, as well as deep, soft cushioning all over your body.

In our review, we rated the mattress particularly highly for its excellent support for back and stomach sleepers. It's a great choice for anyone with back pain, and for anyone who overheats too &ndash; our hot-sleeping reviewers maintained a comfortable temperature throughout the night.

Bear in mind that it's a little heavier than the average mattress, so you'll want two people to move it. But if you're looking for luxury for less, and you like a little bounce, the DreamCloud is one of the best mattresses around.&nbsp;
What we discovered during testing:
"The DreamCloud helps alleviate back and hip pain, and does a superb job of temperature regulation.

Affordable luxury - DreamCloud typically offers $499 in free gifts but its current sale the value has been bumped up to $599. Add in a $200 money-off discount (although really, it's the same price it always is) and this luxury hybrid becomes excellent value. Right now, you can get a queen DreamCloud Mattress with freebies for $999.

In fact, the Winkbed Original performed well across the board, scoring highly for temperature regulation, edge support and motion isolation. Conveniently, this mattress comes in four different firmness options, including a plus model for heavier bodies, making it easier to find a version that better suits your sleep. When compared to rivals such as the DreamCloud and the Saatva, the WinkBed falls in the middle of the two, price-wise: on sale, it costs $1,499 for a queen size compared to $999 for a queen DreamCloud and $1,570 for a queen Saatva Classic (although our current exclusive Saatva offer drops the price slightly under WinkBeds').

The only downsides to The WinkBed is the $49 fee to exchange for a different firmness, and the slight off-gassing smell upon unboxing. However these are small niggles compared to the premium build quality and soothing support on offer here.

This is a standard offer from WinkBeds, but what's noteworthy here is that the brand hasn't hiked the price. In other words, this discount is just as strong now as what we'd been seeing in recent months. With $300 off, a queen size is reduced to $1,499 (was $1,799).

While all the top picks in our best mattress guide are well-suited to side sleepers, only this one has been specifically designed for side sleeping &ndash; and we awarded it full marks for this: our reviewers found both side and back sleeping to be extremely comfortable. Soothing memory foam and dynamic polyfoam hug your body and relieve pressure, while hundreds of individual coils cradle your body, providing extra support, and limiting motion transfer.&nbsp;
The silent coils also boost airflow through the mattress, keeping our hot sleeper cool throughout the night.

And because the coils make no noise, and there's very little motion transfer, it's a good choice for anyone with a restless partner too. If you're a front sleeper, though, you'll need slightly different support, so consider the Helix Dusk (opens in new tab); and if you're heavier than average try the Helix Plus (opens in new tab) instead.&nbsp;

The relatively new Purple Plus mattress is a luxe upgrade on the Purple Original, with two extra inches of foam, better airflow and enhanced cooling power. Based on the superb performance of its cooling features alone, we think it's one of the best mattresses in the US for hot sleepers.

Still, if you have a higher budget, the Purple Plus is outstanding. One of our reviewers described it as the most cooling mattress they've ever slept on, and we also found pressure relief to be exceptional. The mattress felt soft under our shoulders, hips and knees, with firmer support in the lower back area.

What we discovered during testing:

The Awara Natural Hybrid mattress is a great option for eco-conscious people who want to make a more sustainable choice, without paying the premium price usually associated with organic mattresses. With an MSRP of $1,399 for a queen size it still isn't cheap, but it costs a good $600 less than the flagship mattress from rival brand Avocado. Despite the smaller price tag, the Awara has a definite luxury feel and look.

Made from natural latex, organic wool and cotton, the two biggest advantages to choosing it over others in our list is that the latex is very good at regulating temperature, and it's more durable than memory foam or springs, so it should last longer, too.&nbsp;
The Awara is one of the firmest options in our best mattress guide, making it a good option for heavier bodies. Our average-weight reviewers slept comfortably in all positions, too, and woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested each morning. Motion isolation wasn't great though, so if you have a particularly restless partner, this mattress may not be right.

It aims to deliver better sleep comfort for a lower price, and with a queen under $500, it's one of the cheapest options in this list (the very cheapest is the Zinus Green Tea at number 10.)&nbsp;
The main draw here is the low price tag. The MSRP for a twin is $499, while a queen retails for $699. However, like the rest of the market, it's subject to regular mattress sales &ndash; in fact, this mattress has been offered at a discount since the day it launched.

A twin Siena Mattress usually sells for $299, and a queen for $499.&nbsp;
But a very appealing price tag isn't the only thing this mattress has going for it. This 10-inch deep mattress has five layers, including contouring memory foam, supportive polyfoam and a soft-touch breathable cover. We found it contoured subtly to your body and distributes your weight evenly.

Officially, it's a 6.5 on the firmness scale, but we think it's more like a 9. Side sleepers might need a bit of time to break it in (and ultimately might find it doesn't offer enough pressure relief around their shoulders and hips), but for back or stomach sleepers, the extra support is very welcome. This mattress also scored highly on edge support and motion isolation.&nbsp;
One common issue with memory foam is that it can trap body heat, and amongst the other customer reviews there are some comments about this Siena sleeping hot.

During our tests we were actually pretty impressed with the Siena's temperature regulation properties, although really hot sleepers should still consider a dedicated cooling mattress. What we learned during testing:
"The Siena Memory Foam Mattress offers excellent temperature regulation, superb edge support, and low motion transfer for a very low price.

The 5-layer Siena Mattress is built similarly to the mid-range Nectar, but the Siena is much firmer &ndash; which suited our stomach sleepers well but our side and back sleepers weren't immediately comfortable.

It's not the best choice if you overheat at night, either &ndash; some of our reviewers became uncomfortably warm. But overall, it's a decent budget mattress. The thinner six and eight-inch versions would make good options for children's rooms, too.&nbsp;
What we discovered during testing:
"The Zinus is a great option for tight budgets, and for people looking to try memory foam for the first time.

It's medium-firm, with a thin 1.5-inch layer of memory foam and innersprings. Don't expect the level of contouring you'd get from the mid-range and premium options in our best mattress guide, and you'll probably have to replace this mattress a few years sooner than you would the Sienna or Nectar.&nbsp;
But the majority of user reviews report that it's comfortable (some say better than expected), and as a hybrid it's likely better suited to hot sleepers than the all-foam budget Zinus above.

Our expert mattress testers sleep on each mattress for at least three weeks &ndash; that's roughly how long it takes for your body to get used to a new mattress &ndash; and spend hours scientifically testing the performance of each product. &nbsp;
Mattress firmness is subjective, so each lead reviewer also forms a trusted and experienced testing panel made up of people with different sleep needs and body types. We have side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers, with lighter, average and heavier bodies, who rate each mattress using a specific set of performance criteria.&nbsp;
Together, these processes enable us to produce accurate, well-balanced and data-backed mattress reviews, to help you easily decide whether the mattress you're interested in really is the best choice for you.Expert reviewers with substantial hands-on experience of testing a wide range of mattressesA diverse panel of mattress testers, with different body types, heights and sleep-position preferences
Our testing process includes:Testing each mattress across all key data points, including support, comfort, pressure relief, motion isolation and temperature regulation, rating each mattress out of 5Analyzing user reviews to get an understanding of what real customers think of each mattress, and get a feel for any recurring themes, whether positive or negative, which we explore these further during our testing processFact-checking every comfort / support claim made by a mattress brand

Why? Because everyone is different, so the right type for you depends on your body, health and your sleep style. Secondly, it's because the differences between each type of mattress are increasingly negligible.&nbsp;Materials have advanced so much over the last five years alone that it can be difficult to notice any perceptible difference when sleeping on them.&nbsp;
That's good news for you is that you should be able to pick any of the options in our best mattress guide and be extremely happy with your choice - regardless of whether it's made from copper-infused memory foam, coils, cooling latex, or a cutting edge combination of all-natural materials.

That said, the best memory foam mattresses (opens in new tab) now come packed with special cooling materials designed to regulate your temperature while you sleep.&nbsp;
If you overheat at night, you may prefer to avoid an all-foam mattress. But if you love the cushioning feel of memory foam, there are plenty of 'cooling' foam mattresses. These range in price from the budget-friendly Cocoon Chill Memory Foam mattress (from $499) to the Tempur-Breeze (from $3,000).

Saatva's flagship innerspring mattress: the Saatva Classic (Image credit: Saatva)
As we explain in our feature on what is an innerspring mattress, these beds use a coil-based support system to provide comfort and structure. The quantity, height and design of the coils vary, and while traditionally innerspring mattresses were made with interconnected coils, the term is increasingly used to describe pocket spring mattresses.&nbsp;
These feature individually wrapped coils that sit inside their own fabric pocket and can move independently - providing better pressure relief, greater comfort and more effective motion isolation.

Generally speaking, the more pocket springs in a mattress the better the support.&nbsp;You can also use one of the best mattress toppers (opens in new tab) to instantly add an extra layer of support and comfort. One key difference between innerspring mattresses and all-foam options is that they're buoyant: you sleep on top of them, rather than sinking in.

That's good news for hot sleepers, as it means your body heat is less likely to be trapped by the mattress, plus the springs allow more air to circulate than dense foam. <h2>Hybrid mattresses</h2>
We highly rate the Helix Midnight mattress&nbsp;for side sleeping (Image credit: Helix)
What is a hybrid mattress is a question we get asked a lot, and the simple answer is that they are a more advanced type of mattress that gives you the tailored support of memory foam, gel or latex, plus the bounce and increased airflow of springs. The coils in hybrid mattresses are usually smaller, and you'll often have a thinner foam layer.

<h2>Latex mattresses</h2>
The Avocado Green Mattress is one of the best mattresses for eco-friendly sleep (Image credit: Avocado)
Latex mattresses use a durable latex foam made from natural materials, rather than synthetic materials (which memory foam mattresses are made from). If you're looking for an organic mattress, latex is the best mattress material for you.&nbsp;
It isn't as dense as memory foam, which makes latex mattresses less prone to overheating.

<h2>Mattress buying advice</h2>
 <h2>How long does a mattress last </h2>
On average, a good mattress should last seven to eight years, but this depends on various factors including what type of mattress you own, what it's made of, how often it's used, and how many of you sleep on it. (We explain more in our feature answering how long does a mattress last?). So a guest room mattress used only occasionally may last a little longer than the general guidelines, while the main mattress on your bed &ndash; unless it's a good quality mattress &ndash; will wear out in less than seven years.&nbsp;
The manufacturer's warranty is a good indication of how long the mattress should last, but you will need to care for it properly too.

How long does a mattress last

On average, a good mattress should last seven to eight years, but this depends on various factors including what type of mattress you own, what it's made of, how often it's used, and how many of you sleep on it. (We explain more in our feature answering how long does a mattress last?). So a guest room mattress used only occasionally may last a little longer than the general guidelines, while the main mattress on your bed – unless it's a good quality mattress – will wear out in less than seven years.  The manufacturer's warranty is a good indication of how long the mattress should last, but you will need to care for it properly too.

 <h2>How to choose the right mattress size</h2>
One golden rule for choosing the right size of mattress is to make sure it's 10cm longer than the tallest person sleeping on it.&nbsp;Width-wise, if you're sharing a bed, you and your partner should be able to put your hands under your head without your elbows touching.&nbsp;
If you sleep alone, you'll have the right size mattress if you can put your hands under your head without touching the edges. So measure that distance and as long as you choose a mattress wider than that, you're good.&nbsp;
Most options listed in our best mattress guide are available in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and Cal king sizes. Some come in split options too, which enable you to choose a different mattress firmness to your partner.&nbsp;You can also find mattresses with a different level of firmness on each side.

<h2>How to choose the right mattress firmness</h2>
Medium firm is the most popular mattress choice - that's why most flagship mattresses fall within a range of 5-7 on the firmness scale (10 is the firmest).&nbsp;
However, mattresses are subjective. Firmness and comfort depend on a wide range of factors including your weight, height, sleeping style and whether you experience any pain, such as in your back or hips. So one person's experience of a mattress is likely to be different to that of another person.

This provides neutral spine alignment while supporting the hips and shoulders. If a mattress is too soft, back sleepers may find their spine forming an uncomfortable 'U' shape, creating strain.

Too firm and the natural 'S' curve of your spine won't be supported.&nbsp;
Side sleepers need good pressure relief on their shoulders, knees and hips. A medium to medium-soft mattress is usually a good choice. If it's too soft, the spine won't align properly with the shoulders and hips.

This lifts the hips up so that they're in alignment with the spine, and prevents the spine from forming a 'U' shape. If it's too firm it'll be uncomfortable - particularly for women - and won't allow the spine to curve naturally. Too soft and it can feel almost suffocating.

Innerspring and hybrid mattresses can be a better choice than foam for front sleepers. Combination sleepers should choose according to their dominant sleep position (the position you normally fall asleep in). If you don't have one, a medium firm mattress will dish out the best support and comfort across most positions.2.

Sleepers weighing 130lbs and below don't sink as far into a mattress and are often well-suited to softer options: between 2 and 4 on the firmness scale. However, a medium-firm mattress would also be a good choice.

It's been approved by the American Chiropractic Association too, making it a great choice for back pain. It costs around $1,500 for a queen size, but there's usually a $200 discount (opens in new tab).&nbsp; Alternatively, if you have a lower budget or prefer the 'hug' of memory foam, the Nectar Memory Foam is a top choice - we think it's the best-value mattress you can buy. It's comfortable and supportive, and extremely competitively priced.

The latter is when people slowly start spending again following the January lull, and retailers look to stoke interest with strong offers and prices that are often as low as Black Friday. The Memorial Day mattress sales (opens in new tab) are another key time to buy a new mattress, as retailers look to make way for newer models launching over the summer by discounting older stock.

For the sheer volume and variety of discounted mattresses, it's as good as Black Friday &ndash; but we've noticed prices don't always dip quite as low. You might see the same discount advertised &ndash; $200 off, say - but the price may have gone up, so while the mattress is cheaper than its previous full price, you'd have saved more if you bought it in the November or February.

For side sleepers, we think the most comfortable mattress for the money is the Helix Midnight. It relieves pressure all along your shoulders, hips and knees, and it's reasonably priced at $1,099 for a queen size - plus you get two free pillows.&nbsp; For back sleepers, you can't beat the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid because it's super-comfortable and it doesn't charge the earth. A queen size costs $999 but you also get up to $599 of free bedding to boost your value for money.

Overall, the most comfortable mattress is the Saatva Classic. Yes it's more money than the others at $1,770 for a queen (prices fluctuate on this one), but it comes in three different firmness levels and two heights to offer you the comfort, support and mattress depth you need for a great night's sleep.
