Hopefully this is the right section of city data for this thread.
Figured out part of the reason I was having some backpain recently was because of my old mattress, urgently trying to buy a new one.
Looking to get something decent but not crazy. Queen sized 800$-1600$.
Online is filled with ads, curious how others here went about buying one (online vs local store), and what did you buy/how do you like it?
Think I am interested in a hybrid, looking into the helix midnight, winkbed luxury hybrid, and dreamcloud hybrid.
Would also note that it is 100% spam ads on google if you search mattresses, even hard to find local stores.
Thanks,
Lots of reading for me to go through. Been going through for the past 30 minutes.
Curious if in general there is a huge difference in a $500 mattress and a $1000-1500$ one?
Price doesn't indicate quality.
Just because a mattress is more expensive doesn't mean it's better quality.
Main difference is the types and finishing.
There are spring, memory foam, dense foam, gel, hybrids and latex. And then there is cover material and finish. There are at least 4 most popular coil types.
There could be different fillings - natural like wool, cotton, coconut, buckwheat...
There is foam density and hardness to consider.
Try to get a mattress you could test for at least 90 days. Most people need that long to decide on comfort.
The more you read the more you will get confused. Trust me, when I was exploring the topic to reply and give advice - the knowledge was driving me nuts. lol
Personally, for decades now, I am sticking to 100% natural Dunlop latex. But it's not everyone's cup of tea, so you might want to explore your choices.
^ I've decided on getting a latex hybrid mattress... now the question is which one.
Winkbed ecocloud seems nice, but would prefer to keep it at under $1000
Wish I could help, but I’m of the opinion that the mattress industry practices one of the worst shell games around. I thought I had researched well, but ended up getting a latex bed that I regret buying.
The best bed I ever had was a Weston Heavenly bed. It was incredibly comfortable for about three years. Then it hollowed out. Would like to try a TempurPedic but it costs too much. All of the sites out there seem to have inconsistent ratings that make it pretty clear any choice is ultimately subjective. They give a lot of info but in the end it didn’t help me.
I think one good way to figure out a good choice of mattress is to have someone tell you from personal experience. Even then it might not work for you. Be prepared to send it back, which can be a hassle. I didn’t, thinking either my body would adjust or the bed would.
There are several with great ratings on Amazon. All priced sensible. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=best+late...ref=nb_sb_noss
Zinus has 118K reviews. That many people can't be wrong ..
Casper is a well regarded company. And so is Tuft & Needle.
Pure Green has comfy mattresses - my friend has it, and is happy with the purchase.

All Zinus mattresses are made in China, except one.
The mattress industry has changed so much, for the worst. It is really challenging to find a decent mattress made to last, contains no memory foam and is not full of chemicals for fire retardants.

All Casper foams are CertiPUR® certified. This means they are made without formaldehyde, ozone depleters, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals. This certification also requires the foam to have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million). https://casper.com/faqs/the-mattress...-formaldehyde/
Tuft & Needle is the first company to achieve certification of a complete mattress system. The Tuft & Needle mattresses meet STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Class 1 criteria, the most stringent of the four OEKO-TEX® classes. https://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...-Certification
Pure Green is also made in the US.
Pure Green is GOTS Certified Organic, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, UL Greenguard Gold Certified.

I try my best not to recommend any crap.
I know what certiPUR certification means. While it does reduce the most harmful chemicals in a mattress, it does not eliminate ALL CHEMICALS that are now found in mattresses; including flame retardants.
Most of the mattresses you're recommending are made from memory foam, a toxic material that is created from chemicals.
"CertiPur was created by the foam companies and chemical lobbyist to battle Chinese imports of cheaper polyurethane foams. " The rest of the article can be found here: https://www.thefutonshop.com/blog/wh...rtified-foams/
As for Tuft and Needle they are owned by Serta Simmons Bedding and unfortunately the company made the decision to add a chemical to all of their mattresses. "Serta Simmons Bedding (SSB) announced that it is partnering with Switzerland-based HeiQ Group, a leader in textile innovation, to create a new antiviral mattress."--- If approved, SSB plans to utilize HeiQ Viroblock across much of its industry-leading portfolio of brands, which includes Serta, Beautyrest and Tuft & Needle." https://sleepretailer.com/mattress/s...iral-mattress/
I don't know about the other brand you mentioned. I've been reading a lot about mattresses this summer as I needed to purchase a new mattress and didn't realize how much the industry had changed.
To the OP good-luck with your new mattress purchase.
