Top 10 best mattress 2022 According to experts

My Queen Bed from Best Priced Mattress arrived today, & while it is still airing out, I can tell you that I am very impressed so far. I uploaded a picture to the customer image gallery so people what the Queen Size looks like.This mattress expanded to its full 8″ height in about 6 hours, but I cannot sleep on it yet, because of the intense chemical odor. I did lay down on it to “test drive” it for a while, & I am pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it is. I was leery of buying this bed because I have been sleeping on an airbed for 2 years, & I expected a foam mattress to feel like laying on a concrete slab in comparison – but it isn’t. Not at all. It is not like the horrible foam mattresses I’ve encountered in motels & guest beds & spent sleepless nights on in the past. This is actually really nice. All of the foam beds I’ve experienced felt like a foam mattress topper laying on a sidewalk, so I was afraid to invest much, but this bed is actually quite agreeable. Keep in mind, it’s not like spring mattresses which have a resistive bounce to them – & it does kind of squish around you & cradle your form where you lay (which some people don’t like)…but the mattress I was sent is neither too firm nor too soft – it really is just about right. I sink into the body-conforming top layers just the right amount, without feeling like I am “bottoming out”. All of my pressure points sink in at the right depths, in the right places. There may be truth to the notion that the thinner memory foam mattresses are more comfortable, compared to thick 12″ mattresses, because the thinner beds lack the dense 6-8″ resistive base layer of foam that makes the thicker beds so firm. When I tested it out, I was enjoying the sound of the vertebrae in my back popping back into place so much that I hated to get up… It felt great, & only my asthma drove me off the bed.About the chemical odor, I would recommend that those with allergies, asthma, & hypersensitivity to chemicals set up alternative sleeping arrangements for 4 or more days to allow this mattress to fully air out. You don’t notice it right away after unwrapping the bed, but the more it expands, the stronger the odor becomes. I also bought this bed a zippered vinyl mattress cover as an allergy blocker, so together the two of them smell like the interior of a new car, splashed with a bucket full of paint… : } I shut the mattress in the bedroom, & I air it out with a fan about 4 times a day. I put the ailing airbed in the living room to use while I transition to the new bed. I have had 4 airbeds suddenly go flat in the middle of the night in less than 2 years, so for me it’s worth the wait to air out just 1 memory foam mattress once – rather than 1 new air bed about every 6 months, all of which smelled every bit as strong as this bed does. Some people shaved off 1 Star for the stench, but I am giving it the full 5 Stars, because it is so unexpectedly comfortable. I never knew a memory foam mattress could feel this decent. I was terrified of how bad this was going to be, & actually almost canceled the order, but so far it’s actually very nice.I manage fibromyalgia, arthritis, upper & lower back pain, & recurring nerve pain in my arms, & I think I am going to do quite well sleeping on this mattress. I have a feeling that the more I sleep on this bed, the more my back is going to realign itself to where it’s supposed to be. King Size was unavailable when I made my purchase, which I prefer, but I think Queen is about the largest mattress one small person in chronic pain can lug around by themselves if I ever have to move again.One Major Con: Best Priced Mattress really needs to use better quality cardboard boxes to ship their mattresses. My box ripped open in transit, & apparently hit the ground quite hard, then at some point was retaped. When it arrived, the box contents were full of FedEx truck grime, exhaust stink, & about 10 pieces of large limestone gravel rattling around in the box. That is NOT cool, but the bed itself was sealed in its own bag, & although the bag was cruddy, & got my floor dirty, the mattress itself was not affected by the mess. Best Priced Mattress…if you really believe you make a great product…please ship it to the customer with the respect it deserves.11/14/11 Update:The mattress & vinyl casing did take 4 full days for all of this to air out. The vinyl cover was actually more pungent & took longer to air than the mattress itself, despite having already aired it out for 2 days in my car before the mattress arrived. After 3 days passed, all I could smell was the vinyl. Really give things time to fully air out, & know that unlike regularly replacing airbeds, you’ll only have to do this once. After 4 days, everything was fine.I’ve slept 2 nights on the new mattress, & one thing I notice is the bed really holds body heat much better than my 18″ airbed, which always remained as warm or cold as the air in the room. Even though my mattress is currently lying on a tile floor, I was quite warm when I woke up, & without needing extra blankets or heating. Outdoor temps are below freezing, so it’s nice, but when we return to 5 months of temps above 90F, this may be a challenge. This bed also works pretty good for sitting on propped up against pillows with a laptop PC or a book.The best thing I can report is I have not been waking up in pain because of the mattress. It feels totally different to sleep on compared to my airbed, but I wake up feeling pretty good. Overall so far, I am quite happy with this purchase.12/20/11 Update:I love this mattress. My lower back pain has improved dramatically. It has straightened out & aligned the vertebrae in my back like nothing else I’ve found, except maybe my old semi-waveless water bed. Lying on it also gives the nerve pain in my arm a break. Alleviating chronic FM/arthritis pain helps the pain centers in the brain to shut down, & quit firing…which in turn promotes restorative sleep. This has been like no-hassle physical therapy for my back.Also, unlike airbeds, it is cozy on cold nights. And I no longer fear 3am *deflations*… The chemical odors are long gone. I now ask it, where have you been all my life… lol I am very glad I took the risk & bought one. This bed was a lucky find.

Update: 3 years later, I still love this mattress. It’s held up, is supportive and comfortable and never sleeps hot. It’s been a very good buy for me. It’s a very good inexpensive mattress that has proven to be a great value.I replaced a 20+ year old Sleep Number mattress with this mattress. I’ve had it over a week now and love it. The mattress is medium firm, which I like. The top layer of gel-infused foam provides a bit of sink in comfort, but not to the extent that it’s hard to move or change positions. Mine expanded to a full 12″ within 2-3 hours of putting it on my bed (I kept the Sleep Number foundation on the bed under this mattress). I don’t wake up with back or shoulder pain at all. My old Sleep Number mattress was giving me both. To give you an idea of the give in the top layer, I have attached a couple of pics of my dogs on the mattress. I will say, they LOVE the new mattress and I have a hard time getting my Pittie (Black & White pup) to get off of it. The Rottie/Shepherd weighs about 92 pounds and you can see, the mattress has a good amount of cushioning for joints and pressure points. It’s been a GREAT buy!I will check back in 3 months and a year so I can say how the mattress holds up over time. Can’t beat the price on this and I will be buying another one for my son soon.A month and a half later – STILL loving this mattress. It is still very comfortable. I sleep great. I don’t think it sleeps hot. I don’t wake up with back or shoulder pain. I bought a second one on Prime Day for my son. I don’t think you can go wrong with this mattress.Four months later – this mattress is still great! My Pittie races me up the stairs to the bedroom and jumps in the bed first. When I’m at work, she sleeps on the bed. I love it. It’s firm, yet comfy. I’m never hot and my room is the hottest room in the house during summer. I’ve recommended this mattress to all my friends and family. This has been an excellent value.14 months later – This mattress has held up well over time. It’s still firm yet with enough cushion to be very comfortable. It has continued to be an excellent value for the money paid. No backaches or shoulder pain after sleeping on it. Both my son’s and my mattress are in excellent condition. I continue to recommend this mattress.

If you’ve been reading reviews of this mattress, no doubt you’ve seen all the reviews claiming that someone found bedbugs in their mattress, and no doubt you’re starting to wonder whether buying this mattress is worth the risk. However, unlike many of the previous reviewers, I actually have firsthand experience with bedbugs. Thanks to the people who once lived in the apartment below mine, I know far more about bedbugs than I ever wanted to know. So, to set your mind at ease, here are a few important facts about bedbugs and why you’re highly unlikely to find them in a brand-new factory-sealed mattress.1. Contrary to popular belief, bedbugs are not tiny little unidentifiable specks. An adult bedbug is reddish brown, about the size and shape of an apple seed, and easily identifiable as a bug. Bedbug eggs and nymphs (babies) are tiny little specks, but they’re whitish or yellowish. So if you see tiny dark spots on your new mattress, they are NOT bedbugs or bedbug eggs. Even if they appear to be moving, it’s probably due to static electricity or air currents, not because they’re alive. Any tiny specks on a new mattress are probably exactly what the manufacturer says they are, which is flecks of burned plastic left over from the packaging process.2. Bedbugs won’t crawl into a mattress just because it’s a mattress. Bedbugs don’t know what mattresses are. Bedbugs are small, slow-moving critters that can’t jump or fly, so their preferred prey is something that’s lying still and oblivious to its surroundings, i.e., sleeping humans. They’re attracted to sleeping humans by the carbon dioxide that humans exhale, and then they hide in or near the bed because they’ve found a food source in the bed, not because they’re somehow intelligent enough to recognize a mattress and seek out mattresses that aren’t currently occupied by humans.3. Bedbugs would have trouble getting established in a factory. Certainly they could hitchhike into a factory on a worker’s clothes or belongings, but once there, they wouldn’t thrive. They prefer to hide during the day and feed at night. They don’t like bright lights or prey that’s awake, moving around, and alert enough to smack any bugs they feel crawling on them. Any bedbug that made its way into a mattress factory would probably just get stepped on, not start a colony in the equipment and infest all the mattresses. (See above: no way is a bedbug intelligent enough to think to itself, “Hey, that thing over there is a mattress. If I hide in it, I’ll eventually get delivered somewhere that I can find a sleeping person to bite.”)4. Bedbugs aren’t indestructible. It’s true that they’re highly resistant to pesticides, and according to some sources, they can live a year without food and 18 months without oxygen. But one thing that does reliably kill bedbugs is heat, and furthermore, bedbugs can be squashed. In the unlikely event that a bedbug crawled onto a mattress in a factory, it probably wouldn’t survive as the mattress is compressed with giant rollers, wrapped in multiple layers of shrink wrap (which requires heat to shrink the shrink wrap), stored in a non-climate-controlled warehouse, shipped in the non-climate-controlled hold of a cargo ship, etc.5. Bedbug nymphs require a blood meal to progress from one stage of development to the next. Even if a bedbug got onto a mattress in the factory (unlikely, because they don’t know what a mattress is), survived the packaging process (unlikely), and laid eggs inside the packaging (only possible if this specific bedbug is a pregnant female), you wouldn’t end up with a mattress crawling with bedbugs. Without anything to eat, the nymphs would not develop. (And no, these hypothetical bedbugs inside the packaging couldn’t survive by eating each other. The only thing bedbugs eat is mammalian blood.)6. A bug on your bed isn’t automatically a bedbug. Bedbugs are a specific species of insect. Walking across a bed doesn’t make any other kind of bug a bedbug, any more than walking across a cow pasture would make you a cow. (I bring this point up because I’ve looked at a number of photos of supposed bedbugs posted by other reviewers. Only one photo clearly showed a bug, and that bug was the wrong shape to be a bedbug.) It’s possible for a bug to get into a warehouse or delivery truck and hide in a crevice of your package. It’s also possible for a bug to get in through your open door while you’re bringing your package inside, or for a bug that was already in your house to come out while you’re unpackaging your mattress, and end up on your new mattress just because it’s there. But none of these scenarios necessarily means that you have bedbugs. Granted, you probably don’t want any bug of any species in your bed. However, bedbugs are particularly bad news because they will bite you and they’re very hard to get rid of. But odds are that any other bug on your bed is something harmless that you can just vacuum up and forget about.7. If you buy a new factory-sealed mattress and later notice bedbugs in your home, that doesn’t prove that the bedbugs came from the mattress. Bedbugs can get into a home in any number of ways. Live in an apartment building? The bedbugs may have crawled through the walls from a neighboring apartment. Slept in a hotel or at someone else’s house lately? You may have brought bedbugs home from there. Had overnight guests? They may have brought the bedbugs with them. Bought any used furniture, even if it wasn’t bedroom furniture? It may have had bedbugs hiding in the cracks. Used public transportation? You may have picked up a bedbug that was hiding in the seat upholstery. And so on. Furthermore, a bedbug infestation in a home can start with just one pregnant female bedbug, but bedbugs reproduce slowly by insect standards, so it could take weeks or months for the infestation to get big enough to notice. So by the time you realize you have bedbugs, they’ve probably been there for quite a while and it’s likely impossible to trace where they came from. But a brand-new sealed mattress is about the least likely source. (And by the way, bedbugs don’t come from bad hygiene or unsanitary living conditions. Bedbugs aren’t attracted by dirt or garbage or smells; they’re attracted by people who breathe, which is, last time I checked, everybody. So the cleanest person in the most spotlessly neat home can get bedbugs just as fast as the smelliest slob who never washes his sheets, because both the clean person and the smelly slob breathe.)8. If, in spite of everything I just said, you’re still feeling paranoid about bedbugs, there’s a simple precaution you can take. Buy a zippered mattress cover that’s labeled “dust mite proof,” and as soon as you’ve unpackaged the mattress, zip it up in the cover and just keep it in the cover. (Bedbugs are bigger than dust mites, so anything that’s impervious to dust mites is also impervious to bedbugs. And no, bedbugs can’t chew through a mattress cover. Their mouth parts are designed only for sucking blood, not chewing.) Also, if you have enough floor space, you can quarantine your new mattress for a few days. Lay it out on the floor where it’s not touching any walls or furniture and stick strips of double-sided tape to the floor all the way around it. In the almost impossible event that a bedbug comes crawling out of the mattress, it will get stuck in the tape and eventually die.In short, if you buy this mattress, you’re not going to get any unwanted guests with it. (Well, let me rephrase that statement: you won’t get any unwanted guests in the form of bedbugs. I can’t make any guarantees about annoying relatives who invite themselves over.) So let’s move on to a review of the mattress itself. Short version: It’s okay, but I’m not hugely impressed. Longer version:COMFORT/SUPPORT: I don’t find this mattress supportive enough. Especially if I sleep on my stomach, I can feel my hips sagging into the mattress, which leads to a backache. Admittedly, I’m a full-size adult who weighs, well, let’s just say more than 150 pounds, so I may just be too heavy for an eight-inch twin mattress. (Still, the equally thin, cheapo inner-spring mattress I had before this one worked fine for years, so I suspect the problem is this mattress, not me.) If you’re a heavier adult and/or prone to backaches, this may not be the mattress for you, especially not the eight-inch version. Also, the sides of the mattress are not reinforced, so if you sit on the edge of the bed, you’ll sink down all the way to the box springs. You essentially have to hoist yourself out of a hole to get out of bed, so if you have difficulty standing up from a sitting position, this is not the ideal mattress for you.APPEARANCE: My mattress never fully expanded after it was unpackaged. The center reached a full eight inches, but the corners did not. The smashed-down corners don’t really affect the usability of the mattress, but they do make it look oddly saggy and lumpy.SMELL: I didn’t notice any bothersome smell. I could detect a faint scent when the mattress was brand new and I laid face-down on it without a sheet, but once I put sheets on, I no longer noticed it.NOISE: The springs squawk loudly when I’m getting into or out of bed. However, they’re loudest when my weight is concentrated in one spot. When I’m lying down with my weight more widely distributed, the springs make very little noise when I roll over.DURABILITY: I’ve only had this mattress a few months, so I don’t know about long-term durability. However, the fabric top of the mattress is already starting to pill. As already noted, the sides of the mattress aren’t reinforced. Also, the top is a cotton-like fabric that’s not waterproof or water-resistant, which means that it will stain. If your child spills a juice box on the bed (to say nothing of more gross scenarios), you may be able to wipe away some of the stain with a wet washcloth, but the ghost of the stain will be there approximately forever. I don’t think this mattress will hold up to long-term use.So, should you buy this mattress? If you need a cheap mattress delivered to your door in a small box in a hurry, then this is probably an acceptable option. And no, you’re not going to get any bedbugs as a free bonus. But don’t expect top-quality comfort or durability, because you’re likely not going to get them either.

Like many of my fellow bipedal hominids of a certain age, I’ve developed a degenerated lumbar disc and, being a side sleeper, have found I need a very firm mattress to keep my spine from bending and pinching through the night. I’m taking the time to write this up in hopes it’s of use to others with bad backs struggling to find a good night sleep and eliminate the source of their pain.My lower back pain was getting progressively worse for several years until I realized the problem might be the “firm” $2K mattress I was sleeping on. I went camping for a week, sleeping on just a 2″ memory foam topper on the ground; pain started to subside immediately. I’ve since tried out a couple other “firm” mattresses in the $2-3K range and have come to the opinion that there’s no such thing as a mattress that is both thick and also firm. The more material you add, the more sag you’re going to get. Period. Companies would obviously rather sell you a thicker, more expensive mattress, but if you want a truly firm mattress it must be thin.This LUCID mattress is unusually firm; firmer than I had expected and firmer than I had even hoped for. It’s definitely not as plush as thicker options. But it is GREAT for my back, and starting the day pain-free is the most important thing. It was a little too firm for my partner, so we added a 1″ latex topper which is nearly as supportive and quite a bit more comfortable. I would recommend this combo.The only setup I’ve found that is better for my back is the aforementioned firm 2″ memory foam mattress topper right on the floor. That’s the setup I use for car camping and I never sleep better than on one of those. It’s perfect in terms of both support and comfort, at least for me @ 5’8″, 150lb. The downside is I’ve found those toppers only last a couple years of daily use before softening to the point your hips start to feel the ground beneath. If you try the topper-only strategy, make sure it’s high-density as they’re not all the same. I got mine at Costco.The reason I gave this item 4 stars instead of 5 is that they obnoxiously list it as 60×80″ (true queen) but both the box and tag list its true size, which is 59″x79″. So the description is misleading (perhaps even deliberately so, as getting those numbers right would have been a trivial task). I’d rather pay 3% more for a mattress that fits both my bed frame and my sheets. 1″ matters when you’re sharing a queen. I ended up returning the mattress for this reason alone despite it otherwise being a keeper.

I didn’t even know what hybrid WAS, I LOVE MY NEW MATTRESS. It really has help with my pain, I was so surprised.I want to get another one for my home, this one we put in our RV. Tight squeeze, BUT, totally worth it… it’s a kingSize…. all I have to say, is, people with any negative reviews, are spoiled and don’t know when they try something good.I will highly recommend this particular mattress to EVERYONE. Step out there, pull the trigger, buy this mattress…. be sureYou don’t tear the plastic around it, until you have it where it will stay, my grandsons accidentally put a some hole in it,It started growing right away, it would have been a funny video, if we weren’t trying to hurry and get it in place before itFully grew up…lol Picture a small room in a RV, with a king size bed… I love high beds, the two I had together before, I receivedthis hybrid , were smaller , this one is much thicker, Hope this review will help some..tootles

I purchased this particular mattress as it was one of only 2 mattresses that Consumer Reports gave a 5 star rating for use by tall heavier side sleepers. I am 6’4″ and about 290. I can’t stand to sleep on a truly hard mattress as I have hip problems. So far this mattress has been great. It is maybe just a tad harder than perfect for me but I expect that we will work that out by adding a quality mattress cover or a thin topper. Both my wife and I now look forward to stretching out in our new bed. As always, only time will tell as to it’s durability before developing indentations but again, it was well rated after testing by CR.One final comment. I would not recommend bothering with the separate $50 charge for having Amazon deliver the mattress to your bedroom and installing it. I tried buying this service and Amazon proved abysmally incompetent at providing this service. Absolutely nothing that was supposed to occur with delivering this service happened and customer service was equally inept at rectifying anything. I ended up doing everything myself and you really should have a second person assist you in moving the mattress. Amazon will leave the mattress in your driveway and that is it. Remember that almost all of these Amazon delivery service drivers are actually employed by a subcontractor and are not Amazon employees and these are the folks Amazon is relying upon to provide this additional service. I expect these subcontractors really don’t want their drivers slowed down providing this service for the money involved. Be fore warned.

So here’s the thing… I had a sleep number bed meaning it’s a boujee air mattress. Highly don’t recommend. The reason why I don’t recommend a sleep number is because it eventually pops like mine did. So for the past few months I’ve been inflating my bed constantly but by the time I wake up in the morning I wake up on the metal bars from my bed frame. As a result I was looking for affordable beds on Amazon. Which led me to this bed and I was a bit skeptical because I didn’t know how getting a bed online would work since you can’t really try it out. I got the plush bed and my oh my I haven’t slept this good in MONTHS. The first night my back did hurt but I wasn’t use to memory foam because it takes some getting used to but each night it got better and better. Now I sleep like a well behaved child. Every time I go to sit or lay on my bed I’m reminded about how I can’t feel the metal bars anymore because I have an actually good quality bed. Sooooo all in all I recommend this bed highly. It’s comfortable it gives great back support and it’s not too plush where you feel like you’re sinking but not so firm where you feel like you’re sleeping on a soft wooden board. Personally I feel the medium or firm would be too firm for my liking so if you like plush definitely go for plush. Anywayssss GET THIS BED! Sweet dreams 🙂

So I decided to get a Casper since I heard from friends that it is a great mattress. I was skeptical since it was a bit pricey and it was memory foam…well plus size girls and memory foam don’t usually get along but boy was I wrong!! I have the Hybrid so I got the best of both worlds. Not only is it soft like a cloud it gives me enough firmness to where I don’t feel like I’m sinking in. I’m around 280lbs and the bed has not dented in and it kept it’s firmness for I say a month since I had it. Now beware this mattress is THICK and when the plastic is cut it was growing before my eyes and didn’t take long at all to be at full size(giggity) probably about 10min tops. There was no smell at all and the size is what it claims. It is also helping my sciatica pain and I see myself sleeping through the night which is the most important. I’m a happy customer. Thank you!!

Make no mistake, memory foam (gel foam) mattresses WILL feel very different from what you are used to.I have slept on coil spring mattresses all my life and was stubbornly skeptical of the claims on these. After 24 hours and a first night sleep I am beginning to convert. No morning pains and only mild stiffness from my spine getting used to this new (and better) feeling. So a few notes on what to expect…You WILL need to get used to the very different FEEL of this mattress, I figure a week will do it…You CAN sleep on it after the first 12 hours of waiting for it to pretty much stabilize and expand. The comfort will increase after a few nights I expect…Edge support is surprisingly good, but if you are an “edge sleeper” like my wife is you will need to train yourself to stay at least 6 inches away from that edge or risk an undignified plunk on the floor…Whatever your decision, before you buy KNOW you will have to get used to a different feel before you click order…As this is my first memory foam mattress I have no way to compare brands, but Novilla appears to be very quality conscious. It has a cotton outer casing and looks to me like it will last a long time. So far I am happy and that first night’s sleep was really good. I thank them…**Oh, a side note…I was expecting a foam mattress to be light, but this one weighs pretty much the same as my 15 year old coil spring mattress…**Two week adendum**I have read a number of negative reviews about these Novilla mattresses and felt compelled to address some of them…I can only presume that some people want their expectations matched exactly OR ELSE…1. Several complaints were about ordering a specific thickness and the actual thickness was less. Mine is a 12 inch and at first I thought it was only 10 1/4 inches after the first 12 hours. The next day (after I had slept on it BTW) it had caught up to just under 11 inches. When I put a new 9-12 inch mattress cover on it on the third day it went on a little snuggly, so yes it is a 12 ” (I messured the cover thickness), and I would call that pretty exact…2. Don’t know about these strange smells I read about, I have had this mattress for two weeks and only experienced something of a “new product” smell on the first three days, then nothing else.3. Lots of complaints about firmness on both ends of the scales. Some say too soft and others say hard as a rock…My suggestion if you are not easily pleased is to go to a local mattress store that includes “mattress in a box” types and lay down on their floor model BEFORE YOU ORDER ONLINE. For me I knew there were three different layers, a dense bottom firm support layer, a less dense middle layer that can be called “medium firm, and then the soft feeling top layer that ‘YOU EXPECT TO SINK INTO A BIT’…I am 6’ 2” tall, 75 years old and weigh 212 pounds, and I am enjoying my new mattress…thank you for putting up with my rant…

This mattress is comfortable, easy to put on the bed, and great for the price
