Sealy brings its 100-year history in the mattress industry to modern foam mattress designs and scores top marks with the Essentials Pillow Top Mattress.

The Essentials Pillow Top Mattress comes with a 10-year limited warranty and 100-day sleep trial, with refunded returns (returns are donated) available after the first 30 days. Sealy typically ships all its mattresses from its warehouse in Mississippi within a week of an order being placed, according to the company. Standard shipping is free, and expedited shipping is available at extra cost. Sealy only ships in the U.S.

Building on the expertise of mattress-in-a-box pioneer Brooklyn Bedding, the Dreamfoam Arctic Dreams Cooling Gel Hybrid Mattress scores top marks for performance, comfort and price. The mattress incorporates a high density foam base, a six-inch layer of individually-encased coils and two and a half inches of memory foam, all underneath an “advanced cooling panel” to draw away body heat on contact.

The mattress is covered by a 10-year limited warranty and a 120-night sleep trial—a longer trial compared to some competitors. Returns and refunds are available only after 30 days, with many “returns” constituting donations. Most purchases are shipped free of charge via UPS or FedEx, according to the company, and shipping is available in the continental U.S. and Canada.

Linenspa claims this mattress is “not too soft and not too firm,” meaning it should hit the sweet spot for sleepers with back pain. A simple yet effective construction layering tempered steel coils between sheets of CertiPUR-US memory foam can increase spinal alignment and provide support.

The company says its mattresses ship within the continental U.S. for free, typically within a week.

Nine out of 10 Nectar users who suffer from back pain say their Nectar mattress has helped them, according to the company. The most basic yet most popular offering of Nectar’s lineup, the Memory Foam Mattress tops a seven-inch layer of standard foam with two inches of dynamically adjusting foam for bounce—and three inches of gel memory foam for ultimate comfort, promoting spinal alignment and relieving pressure points.

Nectar offers a 365-night sleep trial—the longest on this list—with returns and refunds available after 30 days. The company also bests many competitors with its “Forever Warranty.” For the first 10 years of ownership, Nectar guarantees replacement of any defective mattress free of charge, after which the company will “recover, repair or replace.” The company’s website claims mattresses usually ship by UPS or FexEd within 3-5 days of ordering, with free shipping available only in the continental U.S. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available for an extra $150 per item.

Unlike Sealy’s Essentials mattress line, the Cocoon contains no springs and instead is constructed completely of foam. The Cocoon rates well on comfort and performance, utilizing three layers of premium foams of different densities to deliver a balance of contouring, sink and support. The mattress’s stretch knit cover is designed to keep sleepers cool with infused “Phase Change Material” that dissipates heat.

Sealy offers a 10-year limited warranty on this mattress and a 100-day sleep trial, with refunded returns available after the first 30 days. Standard shipping is free, though depending on location, a mattress might be able to be expedited at extra cost. Reminder: Sealy only ships in the U.S.

Casper’s Original Foam Mattress is not its most basic model (the company’s simplest and most affordable option is the Element). Instead, this mattress aims for luxury in a box. The mattress puts firmer foam under the hips, waist and lower back to support spinal alignment and softer foam around the shoulders for maximum upper body comfort. A 100-night sleep trial offers a refund and a free return after the first 30 days, and the mattress comes with a 10-year limited warranty. Shipping is free to the continental U.S. and Canada, with additional fees for orders to Alaska and Hawaii.

The Layla Memory Foam Mattress performs as two mattresses in one—featuring both a soft side and a firm side. A layer of “support core” foam and “max airflow” foam are sandwiched between two layers of gel memory foam, each intended to provide a slightly different feel against the body along with cooling and antimicrobial properties from infused copper.

Layla offers a limited lifetime warranty on its Memory Foam Mattress—a longer warranty than most competitors—and a 120-night trial period. Returns are shipped for free in the continental U.S. (though not for mattresses being warrantied), and free shipping is available to locations within the continental U.S.—with shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada for an extra fee.
