According to science, we spend about a third of our lives sleeping, which is precisely why the best luxury mattresses are a practical investment to maximize rest. While a nice bed may already feel like a splurge, selecting one with features like smart technology that adapts to your ever-changing sleep patterns, or an option with durable, organic materials like Talalay latex could be the difference between cycling in a new mattress every couple of years and still sleeping on the same one a decade down the line.

Aside from the aforementioned designs, our picks also include customizable firmnesses for a Goldilocks-like setup, rare and indulgent materials like silk for a smooth, breathable sleep surface, and artisanal covers with ticking patterns to elevate a bedroom’s style. What’s more, our editors have tried each and every bed from our favorite brands, so we confidently stand behind their quality. Consider restless nights a thing of the past. If you’re strategic, your next step will be to find a great set of pillows and some fabulous bedding to pair with your purchase. Don’t worry, our Sleep Week guide has you covered there too.

Saatva Classic Mattress

$2,229 $1,929 (13% off)

Saatva

The Saatva Classic is a strong overall pick for anyone who wants an everyday luxury mattress with a supportive, hotel-style feel. It comes in three firmness levels—plush soft, luxury firm, and firm—so shoppers can choose the amount of cushioning and lift that works best for their sleep style. Erin Kaplan, vice president of communications at Condé Nast, gives the mattress a 10/10 comfort rating in her review and likes that it offers support and “conforms to the body” without letting her sink too deeply into the bed. “I alternate between sleeping on my side and sleeping on my stomach, and this mattress is great for both positions,” she says. Kaplan also notes that it regulates temperature well and helps her fall and stay asleep more consistently.

Tiami Luxury Hybrid Mattress

$2,995

Tiami

$2,995

Design Within Reach

The Tiami Mattress is built for sleepers who want a firmer, more supported feel without losing comfort. Its hybrid design pairs pressure-relieving foam with a double-pocketed coil system, plus a reinforced perimeter that helps prevent the rolling-off sensation some mattresses have near the edge. Contributor Yelena Alpert, a side sleeper, rates it an eight out of 10 for firmness and says it kept her hips aligned without making the bed feel stiff. “It is also an ideal firmness for sitting up and reading in bed, no sagging means my lumbar spine is supported and I don’t get any aches before bedtime,” she says. “I’ve noticed that softer mattresses make my lower back a bit uncomfortable while I sit up and read or work in bed.” She also appreciates the cooling construction and the lack of off-gassing.

Sleep Number Comfort Next Mattress

$2,999 $2,599 (13% off)

Sleep Number

Sleep Number’s mattress uses smart sleep tech to adjust to exact firmness preferences, something Lisa Aiken, senior vice president of commerce at Condé Nast, appreciates since she and her husband enjoy different sleep styles. The magic lies in app-controlled functions, which lets smartphone users control the firmness of each bed’s side and tracks movements to create a full picture of how you sleep. For its innovative and technical approach to sleep, it scores a high-ranking 9 out of 10 on Aiken’s sleep scale. “Based on comfort, customer service, and quality, I would 100% recommend this mattress and integrated base system. It is genuinely excellent,” she says. It’s worth noting that the integrated base limits bed frame options, and Aiken points out that the bed is optimally designed for use with a Sleep Number bed frame, “which is something to consider if you want a more design-forward frame.”

Earthfoam Organic Mattress

$1,299

Earthfoam

Earthfoam’s Organic Mattress is a smart pick for anyone who wants a more eco-friendly mattress with a buoyant latex feel. Contributor Sydney Gore says the mattress—made of natural foam rubber—feels spongy, soft, and cozy, comparing the sleep experience to a “fluffy bread bed.” After a few weeks of adjustment, she noticed she tossed and turned less because her body felt more settled once she dozed off. “I prefer a bouncier mattress so the fact that this mattress is spongy made us compatible,” she says. “You won’t sink deeply into it like quicksand, but you’ll feel supported and it’s so soft.” The biggest drawback is delivery and setup: The mattress arrived compressed in a heavy box, and Gore says she needed help moving it upstairs.

Beautyrest Black Series One Pillow Top Mattress

$2,799

Beautyrest

The Beautyrest Black Mattress is a luxury innerspring designed for sleepers who want support without feeling stuck to a stiff surface. “I kind of prefer a softer mattress because sometimes I sleep on my side, and if the mattress is too firm, it hurts my hips,” says audience development manager Emma Tubbs. “But my husband loves a really firm mattress (he could fall asleep on a hardwood floor), so I chose the medium option in the hope that it would work for both of us.” When it first came, she thought it leaned really firm compared to her old mattress and felt it’d be too hard. After six-plus months of sound sleep, Tubbs says it’s actually the perfect balance of soft and structured. She gives the mattress an 8.5 out of 10 for comfort and says she tosses and turns less because her body feels more settled once she dozes off.

Awara Classic
Hybrid Mattress

$1,445 $899 (38% off)

Awara

$799

Amazon

Awara’s Natural Luxury Hybrid model is our pick for an affordable option that still possesses noticeable quality. The bed-in-box design includes eight side handles (two on each side of the mattress) for easy moving, and although it’s not an all-latex mattress, one word comes to mind when contributor Yelena Moroz Alpert sleeps on this bed: squishy. Alpert says that the mattress feels plush, but she still gets support and pressure relief from the added steel coils. “I definitely leaned into the whole cloud-like experience by adding the Citizenry stonewashed percale cotton to the bed to make it into something of a retreat,” she tells us. “Since this Awara focuses on eco-friendly factors, I was incredibly happy to confirm that there was absolutely no off-gassing once the plastic was removed and the mattress started to decompress.”

Stearns & Foster Lux Estate Mattress

$3,199

Stearns & Foster

The oldest owned and operated American mattress manufacturer, Stearns & Foster has been in the sleep game since 1846, meaning they’ve had 180 years to perfect their products. That they have—a sentiment shared by luxury hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, and our senior visuals editor Melissa Maria. Maria tested the brand’s Lux Estate mattress in its firm pillow-top version, a choice she made for optimal pressure relief and back support. “This well-constructed mattress is super supportive but not too firm thanks to a cushioned memory foam layer and the added pillow top that gives it a plush feel,” says Maria. “I’m a very light and finicky sleeper, so it always takes me time to adjust to any sort of change, but my husband remarked how much better his back felt after the first couple of nights sleeping on this mattress.” On top of six layers of high-quality construction, the Stearns and Foster delivery team provides a full service setup that includes removal of your old mattress.

Ostermoor Bedford Mattress

$4,249

Ostermoor

With a delicate blue-and-white striped cover that complements high-end details like hand-stitching and contrast top tufting, Ostermoor’s mattress “offers rare attention to visual design”—something that impressed contributor Zoë Sessums. She reports that the mattress feels cozy from start to finish, balancing a mixture of spring coil support and cushioned comfort. While it has a pretty medium-firm feel, it still offers some softness like you’d find in all-foam mattresses. “It’s firm but not rigid—supportive in all the right places while still feeling comfortable and plush enough to relax into,” Sessums says, noting that it has give without sinkage. “From the moment I plopped down, I was amazed by how comfortable it was.”

Avocado Grand Luxe Mattress

$8,499

Avocado

“I would absolutely recommend [the Grand Luxe Mattress by Avocado] to a discerning friend who wants to sleep in five-star hotel luxury,” says Astley. Avocado’s premier mattress has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from the higher price tag. For one, it’s handcrafted from the same eco-friendly and organic materials the brand is known for, meaning you won’t find a lick of polyurethane foams or horsehair. Instead, it draws its superior pressure-relieving abilities from proprietary AeraSprings technology that adapts to your body and sleep style. Plus, it includes fine, high-end materials like silk and mohair for a plush and smooth surface. Astley describes the result as a mattress that’s slightly on the softer side but very comfortable, rating it an impressive 10 out of 10 in terms of comfort. “Our whole family agrees it is comfy,” says Astley, who also tells us that the order and delivery process was organized and quick. “A few guests have used it, too, and raved.”

Hästens 2000T Mattress

Shop at

Hästens

Founded in 1852, family-owned Swedish brand Hästens specializes in handcrafted mattresses. Their signature quilted blue check pattern has made a cameo on Netflix’s Emily in Paris, their Vividus model was mentioned in Post Malone’s “Wasting Angels,” and in 2020 they collaborated with architect Ferris Rafauli to create a $500,000 luxury mattress (which can be found in the home of none other than Drake). Needless to say, the brand epitomizes luxurious sleep. Contributor Kelsey Borovinsky tested the full Hästens bed and bed linens system back in 2023, likening the experience to sleeping on a cloud. “It was an orchestra of materials working together to lay me to rest for eight delicious hours,” she says. “At the risk of sounding trite, there’s no better way to describe this bed than what it must feel like to sleep on a cloud. All my life, I had been simply sleeping on a bed—but this? This was what sleeping in a bed feels like.”

All the mattress brands in AD’s guides are tested in our own homes for at least a month, allowing us to bring you the skinny on everything from shipping to unboxing to situating it in our bedrooms. Next comes the diligent business of how we actually slept on our new beds: Were we left tossing and turning or did we enjoy eight uninterrupted hours of blissful rest? Aside from these factors for this guide, we get into the specifics to truly zero in on what sets luxury mattresses apart from other standard variations in the industry—including details like materiality (think: organic, fine materials like silk), comfort, pressure relief, motion isolation, edge support, and even some styling tips to make your bedscape the fairest of them all.
