A simple Google search asking 'which mattress should I buy?' yields more than 83 million results in less than half a second. Many of the top results are sponsored posts from big-name brands, urging you to buy their mattress without knowing anything about you, your budget, or your sleep needs.
With so much on the market, it can be difficult to know where to start. That's where I come in. As H&G's resident sleep writer, I lead a team of expert testers to find the world's best mattress. No two testers sleep the same: some run hot, some run cold; some lie on their back, where others lie on their front or side; some are prepared to spend thousands on the best bed, where others are working within a tighter budget. As I get to know my team, I've learned that there's no such thing as the definitive 'best mattress': which mattress is best varies from sleeper to sleeper.
