Research Policy: Mattresses
Since mattresses are usually a costly and difficult purchase, we share our over 20 years of mattress design and material research to inform consumers. Buying a mattress doesn’t follow an exact science due to the variation in sleeping preferences and amalgamation of subjective factors such as body weight, body shape, and your dominant sleeping position that all combine to create different levels of comfort on different mattress designs. To help make the buying process easier for you, we create our mattress reviews and round-up lists using as many of the following techniques as possible.
Physical Testing
Wherever possible, we endeavor to purchase mattress materials, test them, and provide our professional feedback.
Extrapolating Data
Based on our extensive knowledge, we draw educated generalizations about how a mattress will perform for different people.
Expert Consultation
Our writers include a chiropractor and a molecular biologist, and we consult with other medical professionals when needed.
Specific Mattress Review Criteria
Allergy control
Does the mattress prevent allergic reactions by being hypoallergenic?
Body weight & type suitability
We estimate comfort for light, average, and heavy body weights and slim, average, and heavy body types.
Comfort
What is the likelihood the mattress is comfortable relative to common sleeping styles?
Couple compatibility
Does the mattress suit couples (quiet, good motion isolation, etc.)?
Durability & Life expectancy
How durable are the materials and how long will the mattress last?
Edge support
Are the edges reinforced to prevent sagging or roll-off?
Firmness
What is the mattress’s firmness on a scale from extra-soft to ultra-firm?
Motion isolation
How well does the mattress dampen cross-motion for couples?
Off-gassing potential
Does the mattress emit a strong smell or Volatile Organic Compounds?
Sleeping positions
How comfortable is it for side, back, stomach, and combination sleepers?
Support
Does the mattress keep your spine aligned for different body types and positions?
Temperature regulation
How well does the mattress dissipate heat and offer cooling?

By working specifically with underserved search queries, we strive to provide the best possible answers to help users find what they are looking for and improve the web — instead of polluting it with inferior and duplicate content.
Limitations
Despite our commitment to provide excellent content, honest mistakes are possible and content can become outdated. We review content annually and correct errors immediately upon discovery. Remember, not all products will suit everyone due to individual differences. We recommend consulting multiple trustworthy sources before making a purchase.
