The 25 Best Mattresses of 2025
Just because you might find raves on social media for a particular mattress brand doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a great mattress for you. What’s more, a brand’s most expensive model isn’t always its best offering, objectively speaking; sometimes you’ll get more for your money with an entry-level or mid-price design. In our mattress brand pages, we assess everything from the materials a company uses in its mattresses and the responsiveness of its customer service to online reviews and our own in-person testing—so you’re armed with the intel you need to make a smart decision.
Casper
Generally speaking, Casper mattresses are decent, but tend to be too expensive for what you get, with “special” features that probably aren’t that beneficial. However we think that the Casper Original probably has the most widespread appeal. (Casper recently replaced the Casper Original with the Casper One, which has a similar feel and foam densities as the Original. We haven’t tested the Casper One yet, and the Casper Original is still available on Amazon.)
Worth considering: Casper Original
Helix
With mattresses for every firmness preference and sleep position, Helix offers more options than most online mattress companies.
Worth considering: Helix Plus
Leesa
Over the years, Leesa has expanded from selling a single under-$1,000 all-foam mattress to offering hybrid, budget, and luxe beds. The reasonably priced, just-springy-enough Leesa Sapira Hybrid has consistently won over our testers since we first started assessing it back in 2018.
Our picks: Leesa Original, Leesa Sapira Hybrid, and the Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid Mattress
Top pick
Combining the gentle cradle of a classic memory foam with an underlying firmness, this mattress hugs you without hampering any movement. At just over $1,000, it’s a great value, too.
This hybrid combines the best parts of memory-foam and spring mattresses. It offers better cooling and has a thicker cover than the competition, all at a great price.
This hybrid mattress’s quilted top loosely cradles your body, while over 3,000 pocketed coils keep you buoyant.
Purple
Purple’s unique line of mattresses is inspired by medical-grade cushions and designed with a proprietary gel foam. Most of our testers dismissed it as off-puttingly jiggly, but the staffers and their spouses who’ve owned a Purple for at least a year say they love its unique feel, and that it has held up well.
Worth considering: Purple Mattress
The Saatva Company
The Saatva Company offers a range of mattress types, from innerspring, foam, and latex to a “plus-size” hybrid, an adjustable air bed, and kids’ beds. We think the Loom & Leaf has some of the best-quality materials you’ll find in an online all-foam mattress.
Our picks: Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm) and the Saatva Classic
Worth considering: Saatva Contour5
Top pick
With a thick quilted top and the highest foam density we’ve seen in an online mattress, this mattress feels more substantial (and will likely last longer) than many of its cheaper online competitors.
Worth considering
The 12.5-inch Saatva Contour5 is a memory-foam mattress that’s marketed as an upgraded version of the Loom & Leaf. We think it should appeal to sleepers that prefer a classic memory-foam sink feel.
Top pick
Offering a classic innerspring bounce paired with a cushy top, this bed is for those who want to nestle in without being engulfed. But it doesn’t have the best motion isolation.
Tempur-Pedic
You can sample and compare all of Tempur-Pedic’s offerings at its many stores or partner retailers—which is a good thing, since people either love or hate its distinctive ultra-contouring, pressure-relieving sink. If you know you love that feel, we suggest considering the entry-level Tempur-Adapt line, which offers an adequate taste of the technology.
Worth considering: Tempur-Adapt (Medium Hybrid)
Tuft & Needle
Memory-foam haters looking for a cushiony bed that doesn’t have that sinky feel may appreciate Tuft & Needle’s offerings, which include two all-foam models, as well as a hybrid. So far we’ve tested the Essential T&N Original and the T&N Mint, and even though some of our long-term testers say theirs have softened over the years, they all like the foamy feel and think it’s a decent bed for the price.
Worth considering: Essential T&N Original
Sleep Number
Sleep Number’s “smart” beds allow couples to adjust their sides to their firmness-level liking, as well as to track their sleep. The more cushioning you’d like, the pricier the model. If you’re accustomed to a plush bed, along with good support, we think you’ll have to skip the entry- and mid-level offerings and spring for the i8.
Worth considering: 360 i8 Smart Bed
Nectar
Side-sleepers or those who prefer soft mattresses may like Nectar’s memory foam options, which have a plusher feel than most memory foam beds. The brand’s catalogue of memory foam and hybrid mattresses (we have yet to test the latter) come with a year-long trial and lifetime warranty. We think the entry-level Nectar Classic might be worth considering, but are otherwise apprehensive about the long-term durability of the brand’s memory foam mattresses.
Worth considering: Nectar Classic
