Shopping for a new mattress?

Our mattress buying guides are the best place to start your search for the right mattress. In each buying guide, we review the top mattresses in that category and discuss the best tips for choosing the best mattress.

Our buying guides are handy if you know what general type of mattress you want (e.g., memory foam) but need some advice to drill down to a specific brand such as Casper, Nectar, or Leesa.

They will also help you compare among popular mattresses in a specific category and find out how they differ in feel, comfort, construction, and price.

For a round-up of our most favorite mattresses (across all categories), see our list of top 10 mattresses.

If you already have an idea which type of mattress you want, take a look at our category-specific buying guides below.

In addition to mattress buying guides, we also have buying guides for other bedding and bedroom furniture, including sheets, bed frames, weighted blankets, pillows, and toppers.
