How this mattress quiz works

Most mattress quizzes are run by a single brand, so every answer leads to that brand’s bed. This one scores 25 mattresses from 21 brands against the same rules, and nobody can pay to rank higher.

First we estimate your ideal firmness on a 1–10 scale. Side sleepers start around 5, back sleepers around 6.5 and stomach sleepers around 7. Lighter bodies feel mattresses as firmer, so we lower the target; heavier bodies sink more, so we raise it. Shoulder or hip aches nudge it softer, lower-back aches nudge it firmer.

Then every mattress gets points for how close its firmness is to your target, and for the things you told us matter — pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, edge support, the feel you prefer and your budget. You’ll see your top three with plain reasons, plus runners-up. The full scoring rules are on our methodology page.
