Your mattress is the most important part of your sleep setup, so finding the right one is critical to your sleep quality and comfort.

That's why I tested more than three dozen mattresses for this guide and relied on the reviews of colleagues. I also consulted with three medical doctors and a psychologist who specializes in sleep disorders. Every one of our picks below performed well in our tests, has a long risk-free home trial, is easy to unbox and set up, and can be returned — although some brands will deduct certain fees.

For context, I'm a side and stomach sleeper and my wife is a back sleeper; between the two of us, we've got all the major sleeping styles covered. You can find out how we tested, more models we tested that missed the cut, and how to shop for a mattress further down.
