As Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I spend much of my job, as my parents fondly say, 'sleeping on the job', but as I tell them, testing mattresses actually requires the three Es: expertise, experience and effort. Here's how I, and my team of sleep experts (you can meet them below), do it.
Every month, I revisit our list of the best mattresses and check that there's a balanced offering of mattress types to suit every kind of sleeper. Then, I check the most trusted mattress brands, including Saatva, Helix and Tempur-Pedic, and our favorite stores, such as Wayfair, for new models that we could add or swap into that list.
