I'm a Sleep Editor – these are the 7 mattress features I think are gimmicks and not worth the spend

As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I lead a team of testers to find the top mattresses available on the market. We spend eight hours a night, seven nights a week, testing each mattress for a minimum of 30 nights before we write our initial reviews.

Personally, I've spent more than 500 hours testing mattresses and many more writing reviews, features, and buying guides. In my search for the best mattress, I've encountered my fair share of marketing jargon and bad beds. I want to share my hard-won wisdom with you.
