Top mattress brands compared

About Top mattress brands compared

A mattress is bought once, so there is a single ticket price and no annual renewal to negotiate. The renewal question here is the next purchase, and that is decided by the sleep trial, the warranty and the return fee rather than by any discount. This ranking of 84 brands is built around that split. The median queen price across these mattresses is €1,079.06, the median sleep trial is 100 nights and the median warranty runs 10 years, a wide spread on all three. Memory foam and hybrid dominate, with 70.3% of the field on the former and 70.3% on the latter, while latex and organic sit at 26.6% and 26.6%. A further divide matters just as much: how far a brand delivers, since several members here sell into a single market, and whether delivery and returns cost extra.

How we picked

Every brand in this list was scored on information published by the brand itself, drawn from its delivery, returns, warranty, sleep trial, product and help pages, then sorted on weighted scores. Cost carries 40%, which pulls on the entry price of a queen and on what a return costs, while offer carries 40% and reads the sleep trial, the warranty, the delivery charge and old mattress removal together. Trust carries 20% and covers certifications, the legal entity behind the brand and the support channels on offer. Where a brand publishes a single figure for a field, that figure is used as given. Partners that serve your country are listed first in this ranking, then the rest by score. Wider records on price, trial, warranty, firmness, delivery and certification supply the context figures quoted here, and prices in different currencies are never set against each other.

Our top picks

1. 4. Buffy

   Buffy sits just below Zinus in this ranking on credentials and a short, decisive trial. Founded in 2018, it lists oeko tex, gots and fsc, delivers free to US and CA, returns free, and handles questions on email, phone and help centre. Where patience decides the outcome, though, this ranking gives it the narrowest window: 8 nights against a 100-night median, so a sleeper who needs longer to settle gets less time. Casper, ranked next, offers 100 nights, old mattress removal, soft, medium and medium firm options and a 10-year warranty, but at $899 for a queen it costs more than Zinus, with only Latex For Less dearer here.

   • Price from: $40
   • Sleep trial (nights): 8
   • Return window: 50 days

   Pros

   • Sheet sets start at $40, a low entry point for a full bedding set
   • Returns run 50 days, well past the return window most bedding brands give
   • Free delivery, listed with a spend threshold of $0, so nothing is added at checkout
   • Materials are cotton and linen, with certifications covering oeko tex, gots and fsc
   • Help centre, email and phone are all listed support channels, email, phone and help centre

   Cons

   • The 8 night trial is short against the site average of 60 nights
   • Toppers are not among the sheets, duvets and duvet covers sold, unlike Coop Sleep Goods
   • Only US and CA are served, so there is no route outside North America
   • Thread counts top out at 300 to 450 threads, short of the highest counts on the market

2. 5. Casper

   Casper is the all-round comfort bet of this ranking, and its slot understates the package. The Casper One foam mattress costs $899 for a queen, stands 27.9 cm, and comes in soft, medium and medium firm feels over memory foam and hybrid builds, with a 100-night trial, a 10-year warranty, free delivery, free returns and old mattress removal. Support runs on email, phone and chat and delivery reaches US and CA, so the ticket is the only real argument against it. hiccapop, ranked next, takes the opposite end of life: a 15.2 cm crib and toddler mattress in memory foam and airbed, sold into a single market, where a lifetime warranty stands in place of a home trial listed at 0 nights.

   • Queen-size price: $899
   • Sleep trial (nights): 100
   • Warranty: 10 years

   Pros

   • A trial of 100 nights runs well past the site median of 60 nights.
   • Free delivery is included at a minimum order of $0, and old mattress removal is offered with it.
   • A warranty of 10 years sits above the site median of 5 years.
   • Support runs on email, phone and chat, so a question about delivery or cover reaches a person.
   • Bedding spans sheets, duvets and duvet covers, so a whole bed setup can come from one brand.

   Cons

   • Assembly included: no, and the return fee is $0, so nothing in the delivery covers a frame build.
   • Casper sells into US and CA only, so buyers elsewhere sit outside its delivery and cover terms.
   • A rank of 17 out of 50 brands on queen price means the headline number is not the cheapest on the list.
   • Firmness options run soft, medium and medium firm and stop at medium-firm, a narrower ladder than the 81% of the site that carry a firm setting.

3. 6. hiccapop

   hiccapop is in this ranking for the nursery rather than the bedroom, and the nursery slot reflects that narrower job done thoroughly. The dual-sided crib mattress offers soft and firm options at 15.2 cm, sells as memory foam and airbed, carries CertiPUR-US on certipur us, and comes with a lifetime warranty, longer than the 10-year median here. The catch is plain: the home trial is 0 nights, support runs on email and help centre only, and delivery covers a single market. Latex For Less, ranked next, takes the opposite approach, a 120-night trial on adult latex at $954 to $1,124 for a queen, with a return fee of $99.

   • Price from: $24.99
   • Sleep trial (nights): 0
   • Return window: 90 days

   Pros

   • The certification is stated plainly as certipur us and the range offers soft and firm firmness choices, so a shopper can match the product to a sleeper without guesswork.
   • 90 days to decide, with return postage at $0, against a 30 day median for bedding brands on the site.
   • The range spans memory foam and airbed with a listed depth of 15.2 cm and a memory foam fill, so floor bedding and a body pillow sit with the same maker.
   • The operator is named as Keezio Group, LLC with headquarters in US, and the only market listed is US, so a warranty claim has a legal entity to name.

   Cons

   • There is no sleep trial, since the trial period is listed at 0 nights, which leaves the 90 day return window carrying the whole decision.
   • Support runs on email and help centre only, so a question that needs a voice on the line has no route.
   • The range is pillows, against sheets, duvets and duvet covers at Coop Sleep Goods, so anything beyond a pillow means shopping another brand.
   • The only market listed is US and the headquarters is in US, so the range is not aimed beyond its home market.

4. 7. Layla

   Layla closes this ranking with the tidiest pairing of a long trial and long cover for an adult mattress. The memory foam mattress offers a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty, stands 26.7 cm, is sold in US and CA with free delivery, free returns and support on email, chat and phone, and holds CertiPUR-US on certipur us. The company dates to 2016. The limits are narrow but honest: soft and medium firm only, and memory foam and hybrid builds. Against Latex For Less, the brand ranked just above, Layla trades a wider certification set for a free return and the same length of trial.

   • Sleep trial (nights): 120
   • Warranty: Lifetime
   • Height (cm): 26.7

   Pros

   • An in-home trial of 120 days, against a site middle of 60 nights for trial length.
   • A lifetime warranty, putting Layla at 1 of 73 brands on that measure.
   • Free delivery, plus a return fee of $0 and a return window of 30 days on bedding.
   • Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a trial question can reach a person by phone.

   Cons

   • Firmness stops at soft and medium firm, so a buyer after a firmer feel has no ladder to climb here.
   • The range covers memory foam and hybrid only, which leaves latex and innerspring shoppers with nothing at this store.
   • A lifetime warranty is a headline figure, so the exclusions decide what it is worth.
   • Shipping stops at US and CA, so buyers outside the US and Canada are buying into another market.

What to look for

Set the ticket against the field

Entry price is the number every buyer meets. The median queen price in this ranking is €1,079.06, the lower quartile sits at €686.01 and the upper quartile at €1,758.53, so a ticket well under the median deserves a closer look and one above it needs a reason.

Read the trial as the second price

The sleep trial is what a repeat purchase costs in time, sleep and freight. The median here is 100 nights, the lower quartile 30 and the upper quartile 100, so a short window says more about the seller's confidence than any description of the foam.

Treat the warranty as the long game

Long cover costs the brand money, so warranty length is a fair signal of what a maker expects. The median warranty here is 10 years, with the lower quartile at 5 and the upper at 23.75. Very long figures are marketing shapes more than practical cover, so pair them with the return terms.

Check what delivery adds

Two charges sit outside the ticket: delivery and taking away the old mattress. Free delivery covers 82.2% of this ranking and old mattress removal 80.6% of it, so both are common rather than exceptional, and a brand charging for either is worth weighing again.

Ask who answers the question

A mattress question usually arrives after delivery. A help centre covers 92.1% of this ranking, email 94.7%, phone 77.6% and live chat 56.6%, so brands offering only the narrowest of these leave you waiting.

Check the material credentials

Certifications say what the foam and cover have been tested against. CertiPUR-US appears on 58% of the brands, OEKO-TEX on 38%, Greenguard on 30%, GOTS on 18% and GOLS on 14%. A single certification is a narrower claim than three.
