Simmons Beautyrest

Best innerspring mattress

MSRP $880-$5,100

Estimated Price

Simmons Beautyrest is the top performer in one independent test, scoring well for both support and durability. Owners generally agree that when new, this mattress is very comfortable, and they like the motion-isolating design. However, many say it begins to sag within a few years, which reduces its comfort and support.

Best memory foam mattress

MSRP $1,100-$7,500

Estimated Price

Tempur-Pedic is the leading brand of memory foam mattresses, and it earns high overall satisfaction ratings from buyers. Owners praise the mattresses' comfort, durability and long warranty, but many find them uncomfortably warm and say their body-molding surface makes moving around difficult.

Ikea Sultan

Best latex foam mattress

MSRP $500-$980

Estimated Price

Although there are few latex mattress reviews, the Ikea Sultan receives positive feedback from multiple sources. About four out of five owners like the mattress, especially its overall value. Most find Sultans comfortable, but they may be too firm for side sleepers. They also have a tendency to sleep hot.

Comfortaire

Best air mattress

MSRP $1,100-$9,000 set

Estimated Price

Although Comfortaire mattresses aren't covered in many sources, they earn better overall ratings than any other air mattress. Owners say they offer good comfort and pain relief, and there are no significant problems with bunching or sagging in the middle. The air pump can be noisy, however.

OrganicPedic by OMI

Best green mattress

MSRP $2,000-$9,200

Estimated Price

No mattress gets better marks for eco-friendly design than the OrganicPedic line by OMI; both innerspring and latex models are made entirely from natural and sustainably produced materials. Many mattresses have a separate pillow top that can be replaced if it starts to sag, rather than replacing the whole mattress. However, it all comes at a steep price.
