A practical framework for narrowing the mattress market by sleep position, feel, temperature, support, and budget.

Start with your sleep profile
A useful shortlist begins with how you actually sleep: primary position, approximate body weight, whether you share the bed, whether you tend to sleep hot, and whether you prefer a close-contouring or springier surface. Those variables usually matter more than marketing labels.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Does the firmness make sense for my primary sleep position and body weight?
- Will the construction fit my preference for contouring versus responsiveness?
- Are temperature and partner movement important enough to change the construction I choose?
- What foundation does the manufacturer require?
- What are the current trial, return-fee and warranty terms?
