Today, a full spectrum of mattress types and styles exists to satisfy the diverse preferences for comfort and support for each individual body type. Most brands pledge the utmost comfort and support value for your dollar. Still, many shoppers rely heavily on mattress reviews for first-hand information about which mattresses are good and which aren't.

That said, because mattresses feel distinctively different from brand to brand, one style may feel great for some but not necessarily for others. Instead of focusing only on all the hoopla surrounding mattress ads and which one claims to be the best, consider what's ideal for you to experience comfort based on your individual needs and preferences. In other words: Lay down and try them!

The sleep experts at Mattress World Northwest specialize in many of the up-to-date mattress technologies available today and also offer a generous Comfort Guarantee to maximize your potential to find the best mattress and sleep better. Still, sleep experts suggest thoroughly trying mattresses and considering not just what mattress brand is "best"— but what's the best for you.

The Best Mattress Brand For You Depends on Your Personal Needs and Preferences

The difficulty lies in the reality that your personal preferences and needs to experience better comfort and sleep quality will vary from person to person. Some sleep hot, while others with poor circulation may wake up cold. Some prefer to feel held in place, cradled if you will, from sinking in. Others favor the sensation of "floating" or resting on top of your mattress. Your body type, sleep position, and snoring habits will considerably influence decisions about your mattress, such as whether you need an adjustable bed, too.

For example, those with back pain or disproportionate body types may prefer a mattress with firm support, like the BR Black Series Three Firm Pillowtop, to improve lumbar support and spinal alignment. Nevertheless, a petite side sleeper often chooses a supportive but soft mattress that gently reduces pressure on the hips and shoulders— like the Sealy Posturepedic Plus Soft Hybrid.

Similarly, sleeping beside your partner may prompt the need for an all-foam or Hybrid mattress with an independent coil system to reduce motion and bounce.

Likewise, many sleepers need help addressing their sleep climate and temperature—another manageable need that your mattress plays a huge role. For hot sleepers, consider TempurBreeze and Beautyrest Black Hybrid mattresses with enhanced cooling layers to balance body temperature while you lounge or sleep.

Another example is SmartBeds— mattresses where you can effortlessly adjust the mattress firmness. Dynamic and ever-changing mattresses like these are ideal for anyone with chronic musculoskeletal issues like shoulder, back, and neck pain. The SmartLife mattress by King Koil is a best-case scenario option for those who experience pain and those who lead an intensely active lifestyle where muscle recovery and sleep quality play a vital role in healing the body, physically and mentally.

The Best Potential Mattress Brands Utilize Top Quality Materials and Techniques

With so many mattress choices today, many shoppers find it challenging to interpret which is best for them after beginning the process. Luckily, locally owned mattress shops like Mattress World Northwest showcase an expertly vetted selection of top-quality mattress collections like:

• Aireloom LuxeTop
• Avocado Luxury Organic
• Beautyrest Black
• Purple
• Posh+Lavish
• Tempurpedic LuxeBreeze
• SmartBeds
• Sealy Hybrid
• Natural by King Koil

Though, keep in mind that some brands offer proprietary materials, methods, patented designs, and innovative technologies that allow their mattresses to stand out from the rest. A savvy way to shop for a new mattress: consider handmade or unique options to satisfy the need to find the best mattress for you.

Consider a Hand-Tufted Mattress as a Sign of Top Quality and Great Potential

Mattress brands that embody the best quality and craftsmanship— like Aireloom— hand make their mattresses with superior quality control and attention to detail with a patented design structure. Aireloom mattresses provide irresistible comfort, utilizing premium fabrics and materials like soft, buttery, and temperature-balancing Tencel fabric. Their patented design presents hand craftsmanship with mattress tufting and the patented Aireloom Lift.

A hand-tufted mattress in the Aireloom Streamline Collection has layers that aren't glued together like most. Instead, tufted mattress layers are essentially sewn together— tufted by hand to create the finished product. Before they leave the factory, hand-tufted mattresses like these are first precompressed to reduce body impressions over the mattress's lifetime. Then, the mattress layers are secured with extra heavy-duty cordage at specific points from top to bottom. Brands like Avocado, King Koil and Stearns & Foster also perform a hand-sewn process that sinches the layers inside the Natural Tannasbourne and S&F Reserve Duet mattress, instead of being held together by glue alone.

Patented Mattress Technology and Proprietary Manufacturing Techniques

Aireloom incorporates a proprietary system called The Aireloom Lift, which utilizes an "open chamber" independent coil design, allowing the coils to support your body while conforming to your shape better than most. Hand-tufting and Aireloom's dynamic coil design proposes upgraded mattress durability and sought-after comfort, unlike most people have experienced before. Airelooms mattress creations are patented, so you won't find comfort like this with other mattress brands. The Aireloom Lift and hand-tufted mattress structure certainly represent a best-case scenario when it comes to choosing from the best mattresses available to you.

Unique Feeling Mattress Technologies

Distinctive feeling mattresses—for instance, the Purple Restore— will either win your heart or detour it with its GelFlex Grid technology. Many have an instant opinion or reaction when they first try out a Purple mattress because they feel so unique. Most can agree that similar to Temurpedic's Advanced Pressure Relieving (APR) material, it's a love-or-hate relationship. 

Still, most mattress brands like Avocado, Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, Purple, and Tempurpedic offer a decent, plentiful coil system— like independent coils that support the lower back and hips to provide good posture and spinal alignment. The trickier part is choosing what material works and feels best for you— foam, natural rubber, gel technology, or APR material by Tempurpedic. Each has great potential to provide premium support to help you sleep, but ultimately, how your mattress feels— firm or soft, with which material— is primarily up to you.

Those unique feeling mattresses— like the buoyant feeling of Purple Hybrids— allow you to narrow down your top choices simply by whether you care for the feel of the mattress or not. Really, with how different some mattresses feel these days, sometimes it's just that easy— you either like the feel or you don't.

Tried Foam Without Much Luck? Opt for Natural Rubber Instead

Another exceptional mattress brand—Posh+Lavish—offers a line of natural rubber mattresses that won't disappoint. Avocado and Aireloom Streamline are wise to utilize natural rubber layers within their designs, such as the Consumer Reports Recommended Avocado Green mattress.

Regardless of the brand you choose, if you don't necessarily like how your body sinks into memory foam, consider the alternative: a natural rubber mattress. Latex rubber mattresses by Avocado Luxury Organic, Posh+Lavish, and Aireloom offer options that nourish a floating sensation with some of the best support and pressure relief you can experience in a mattress today.

For anyone who's "struck out" with numerous mattress brands or styles, consider natural latex rubber mattresses as one of your best options. Latex is ultra-responsive— a polar opposite consistency from most memory foam materials. Many mattress shoppers agree that the feeling of a natural latex mattress, like the "Reawaken"— with a luxurious true pillowtop layer— can help you relax, reduce muscle tension, and sleep better than you would on other mattress types or brands.

Shop Local for the Best Mattress Brands with Innovative Technology and Handcrafted Designs

Have you missed the mark with other mattress purchases? The best mattress for each person isn't as streamlined as many hoped. Not one mattress style or brand is best for everyone.
