NEST ALEXANDER VS LOOM AND LEAF TRIAL

We didn't think it was quite as comfortable as our other picks-its top layer has a squishier memory-foam feel, its core layers seem stiffer, and some people may find it warmer to sleep on-but a lot of people find this to be a perfectly comfortable, supportive mattress. If you want to spend less, the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam 12-Inch Mattress is a reasonably good, low-cost option.

The Tuft & Needle has a convenient trial period and comes with a solid warranty. It feels better to those who like a particularly firm surface (more supportive than pressure-relieving). The Casper is a very close runner-up to the Leesa, especially for singles or couples who vary the side they sleep on.įor dedicated back-sleepers who prefer a firm mattress but don't want to spend a lot on a spring model, we think the Tuft & Needle mattress works well. Side-sleepers may find the Leesa relieves more pressure where they sink in (shoulders, elbows, and hips) than the Casper, but by only a small margin. If you switch between back-sleeping and side-sleeping, or if one of two people sharing a bed tends toward back-sleeping or prefers a firmer mattress, Casper's signature mattress is a better pick than the Leesa. It's also easier to try than a store mattress, because you have 100 days to return and refund your purchase. It isn't the best choice for everyone, but it is a good fit for many people.

It breathes to promote cool sleeping, it fared well in eight-year durability tests, and it's just a bit firmer at the edges than the competition. The Leesa offers support at the body's pressure points as well as a contouring 'hug' that feels comfortable rather than hot or muddy. All of that leads us to recommend the Leesa as a mattress that will work well for most people who sleep on their side or stomach.
