Leesa Memory Foam Mattress
"My partner and I fell for our Leesa Memory Foam Mattress [4] ($594-$1,019, originally $699-$1,199) on the very first sleep. We'd tested at least five foam mattresses in store — some with different "sleep numbers" — and watched at least a dozen YouTube reviews of direct-to-consumer mattresses before we decided to try the Leesa. And boy, am I glad we did. The foam mattress pitches a balance of firm (for him) and soft (for me) and adapts to your body. There's a 100-day trial period, but we didn't need it. We immediately agreed we were having some of the best sleep of our lives." — Angelica Marden, general manager, editorial

Casper Nova Hybrid Plush Mattress
"I recently tried the Casper Nova Hybrid Plush Mattress [6] ($1,095-$2,295), because it boasts that it offers extra support, yet a cloud-like feel. I spend a majority of my days in a chair (or on the couch) hunched over on the computer, and combat a lot neck and back pain. So, the obvious choice was one that would help me relieve pain and sleep better. The hybrid feature means that it also has springs, which help with multiple ergonomic points and pressure relief around your shoulders, hips, waist and lower back. Even with all these features, it's still one of the softest mattresses I've ever felt. It's so fluffy and plush that you almost sink into it, while relieving your body from its daily tensions." — Krista Jones, associate editor, shop

Tuft & Needle Original Mattress
"I've been disappointed by box mattress purchases in the past, and I had almost decided to give up on them altogether. Then my boyfriend decided we should try Tuft & Needle Original Mattress [8] ($315-$675, originally $350-$750) after hearing great things from a friend, and I'm so glad we did. It's been over two years, and we're still in love with our mattress. We even purchased a second one for our guest bedroom!" — Renee Rodriguez, executive assistant and contributor
Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress
"I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try the Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress [9] ($1,495-$2,595) in a queen size, and I swear to you, I feel like an entirely new person. I have more energy every day, all because I changed what I'm sleeping on. Oh, and those back aches? They're entirely gone. I look forward to climbing into bed, and I rarely ever wake up in the middle of the night anymore. It feels like laying on a cloud." — Macy Williams, senior editor, shop

Helix Dusk Medium Feel Mattress With Extra Support
"I love my Helix Dusk Medium Feel Mattress With Extra Support [11] ($500-$1,119), I am a side sleeper and my husband is a stomach sleeper and it offers great support and comfort for both of us. I have had the mattress for several years and it actually came with two different toppers that zipped directly to the top of the mattress. I have now religiously swapped back and forth between the two toppers depending on the season, it has been a game changer as I am a hot sleeper but love a lot of covers. It looks like they are still offering the cooling topper, but have swapped it for a regular pad [12] ($150)." — Lauren Hendrickson, head of shop and affiliate growth
Nectar Memory Foam Mattress
"When mattress shopping, I ordered a Nectar Memory Foam Mattress [13] ($499-$999, originally $798-$1,398) and hoped for the best. On a scale of one to 10, the Nectar mattress is probably a seven in terms of firmness. While I'm a side sleeper who typically prefers an ultraplush pillow-top mattress, I was impressed by how supported I felt. If you prefer a firmer mattress and are looking for a good one at an affordable price, then Nectar is the way to go." — Marisa Hillman, contributor
