Memory foam, springs, pillow top, hyper plastic polymer grid — with so many different types of mattresses today and even more retailers to choose from, how do shoppers navigate the market? The two main goals for most people shopping for mattresses are to find one that is comfortable and suits one's sleep needs and also fits within a budget. The secret to mattress shopping is not so much looking at different styles and retailers, but looking more at the mattress brands themselves. It seems that new mattress brands are popping up all the time, but the best ones have proven themselves through great reviews and years of satisfied customers. The three best brands of mattresses are Serta, Sealy and Purple. Read on to find out more about the three best mattress brands on the market.
Serta makes the cut not just because it's been a mattress brand for 90 years and counting, but because it consistently ranks as one of the best in America in terms of quality. It's also worth pointing out that the Serta brand carries a range of mattresses for different budgets. Serta's online Mattress Selector tool also makes finding the right mattress a snap, giving users their own personal matches based on a short quiz. Currently, some of the best deals on new Serta mattresses can be found online with retailers like Overstock.com. For example, Overstock.com is currently offering Serta mattresses for 15 percent off and up, like the Serta Perfect Sleeper 13.75-inch Kleinmon II Pillow Top Plush Innerspring Mattress in California King at $783.27, down from $921.49.
Sealy is another solid go-to choice for mattress brands, with its company roots going all the way back to 1881. Sealy mattresses come in a variety of forms, including Posturepedic (Tempur Pedic), pillow-top covered springs, and hybrids. They are recommended by both Consumer Reviews and US News & World Report, and their mattress models consistently earn 4+ star ratings. Though great deals can often be found on Overstock and Mattress Firm, Macy's currently has some of the best mattress sales on the Sealy brand around with up to 60 percent off. For example, the Sealy Posturepedic Lawson LTD 13.5" Cushion Firm Euro Pillow Top Mattress Set in Queen size is being offered on closeout sale for only $897. down from $1869! It's also worth noting that Macy's offers free shipping on most models.
Newer to the mattress table is Purple, a brand swiftly growing in popularity. Launched in 1989 as a comfort-product company (making cushions, pillows, and medical devices, among other products), the company made the official switch to Purple in the 2010s when they developed innovative mattress polymer technology. Their videos and advertisements demonstrating their technology have since gone viral, collecting more than 100 million views and creating buzz around their industry-changing design. Built with multiple layers that are designed to last longer than the average mattress, Purple is now regarded as one of the top brands today. While deals on Purple mattresses are not necessarily easy to find, Purple's website offers a variety of perks to direct buyers. Their signature Purple mattress costs $1099 (down from $1242) but can be financed for as low as $67 a month and comes with free shipping. It also comes complete with free sheets and a complementary sleep mask. Purple also accepts free returns within the first 100 days.
Deciding on the right mattress can be challenging, but the good news is that all three brands here offer free trials and free testing in stores on most of their models. They all have warranties of 10 years, though many satisfied customers report using them for longer. With the right mattress from a respected brand, that much-needed sleep will come in no time!
