Affordable vs luxury mattress: Should you save or splurge?

In this affordable vs luxury mattress comparison piece, the Cocoon by Sealy is shown on the left of the image and the Saatva Classic is seen on the right.

When you're considering investing in a new mattress, your first instinct may be to stick to a small budget. However, as a new bed could potentially last you over 15 years, it's worth weighing up whether you want an affordable mattress or a luxury mattress. But is it worth spending extra for high-quality materials and craft quality?

Our top picks for this year's best mattresses for all sleepers feature a range of beds, from affordable to more luxury options, and it doesn't always come down to just price. Here at Tom's Guide, we deem an 'affordable' price tag to be between $500 and $1,000. And, some of the best luxury mattresses sit in this range, despite the indulgent feel and superior support and comfort. Often, it comes down to the perks you get with your purchase, the materials used, specific certifications and how it's built, rather than simply the price.

So, if there some luxury affordable mattresses, what are the difference between the two? We're going to take a deeper look to help you choose what kind of mattress is right for you. With the Presidents' Day mattress sales coming up, you can expect some big discounts even from the most luxury mattresses, so it's a good time to invest.
