Who else recommends it? The Strategist, Good Housekeeping, and the Sleep Foundation all picked the Saatva Classic Mattress.

What do buyers say? 2,300+ Saatva reviewers rated this product an average 4.9 out of 5.

Our top queen mattress pick is Saatva's Classic Mattress, a made-to-order option that has an extra-luxurious pillow top and edge-to-edge support. It's constructed with a combination of foam and coils, offering the perfect balance of support and cushiony comfort (our tester gave it a perfect 5/5). Buyers have the choice between two height options and three firmness levels, making it a great option for virtually every type of sleeper.

Each Saatva mattress is made by hand after you order it—this adds to the overall manufacturing and shipping time, but it also means that your new mattress hasn’t been languishing in a warehouse somewhere for months or years before it makes its way to you. Your purchase comes with white-glove delivery and set-up service, making the transition to your new mattress all the easier. They'll even take care of disposing of your old mattress, too.

After sleeping on her Saatva Classic Mattress for over 280 hours, our tester found it to be well worth the wait. She especially appreciated the complimentary set-up, giving it a perfect five out of five for unboxing. Just note that, while they do offer a 180-night in-home trial, you'll have to pay $99 for the return. We gave this mattress a four of five for its warranty.

If you're looking for a hybrid option, you can't go wrong with the Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress. With five layers of support—including memory foam, gel, polyfoam, coils, and a dense foam base—this is one of our top-recommended mattresses. It offers an ideal combination of support and cushioning, and the attached plush topper is the cherry on top.

Our tester slept on this mattress for two full weeks and found it to have the perfect medium feel: soft enough to accommodate her pressure points, while still offering enough firmness to comfortably read or work in bed. We gave it a five out of five for both comfort and the generous warranty period. As the mattress was quite heavy to move, we gave it a 3/5 for unboxing.

If you choose a Helix mattress, we recommend adding a protective mattress cover to your purchase (it doesn't come with an included cover or pad). This will eliminate the possibility of stains or damage on the mattress, and can be thrown into the laundry if you do need to clean it.

Best Memory Foam: Casper Original Mattress

If you're in the market for a memory foam mattress, you can't go wrong with the Casper Original Mattress. This well-loved option offers a soft, cushiony feel, making it particularly ideal for side sleepers.

With three zoned areas, the Casper Original Foam Mattress conforms to the sleeper's movements to provide the right amount of support for each part of the body. Our tester was particularly sold on the mattress's solid construction and overall breathability. Plus, it has a clean aesthetic that you won't mind displaying during laundry day.

Best Under-$1000: Tuft & Needle Original Adaptive Foam Mattress

This mattress from Tuft & Needle has multiple types of cooling technology, including a proprietary foam with gel and graphite beads, as well as a top cover that whisks moisture and heat away. The cover is not removable or washable, so we recommend getting an additional mattress protector that is also cooling. The budget-friendly price is one of its great features, especially considering the warranty and features it includes.

Best Under-$500: Linenspa 12 Inch Gel Memory Foam Queen Mattress

View On Amazon

The 12-inch Linenspa mattress is a hybrid option that combines a supportive layer of individually-wrapped innerspring coils with a top memory foam layer for support and responsiveness. The memory foam is also infused with gel to add extra cooling technology. Linenspa is known for their budget-friendly mattresses and the under-$500 price tag is hard to find for a 12-inch mattress.

Best Firm: Lucid 10 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress

For sleepers that need the most support, a firm mattress like the Lucid 10 Inch Memory Foam Mattress is a great option. This mattress has 6.5 inches of base support foam that is infused with charcoal that provides full-body support, ideal for any sleeper that tends to sink into other mattresses.

Lucid does offer other firmness options with similar construction and features that adjust the thickness of the base support layer. The firm option is the heaviest of the three offered, due to its extra-thick base layer.

Best Pillow Top: Alwyn Home 10 Inch Medium Pillow Top Mattress

View On Wayfair

For a pillow top mattress that provides that extra cushiony layer without breaking the bank, look to the hybrid Alwyn Home 10 Inch Medium Pillow Top Mattress. The support comes from 6-inch individually wrapped coils (which may make it take longer to unroll) while a foam layer adds a plush cushion. The pillow top consists of a 1-inch foam layer that is quilted on top while being breathable.

Best Adjustable: Sleep Number 360 c2 Smart Bed

This mattress is one of the more affordable options from high-end mattress retailer Sleep Number. It still has the adjustable comfort and customization that Sleep Number is known for. Sleepers can choose their ideal firmness number and adjust it using the attached remote. It can also provide you with a sleep report to help you hone in on your ideal number, as well as automatically adjust if you toss and turn at night.
