Mattresses are such a personal preference thing. You gotta go to the store and try one first.

Just make sure to get a name brand that you can be fairly confident will still be in business 5 years from now.

I would be very fearful to buy a "bed in a box" from one of those startups, as there is a good chance that they won't be still be around by the time your mattress starts sagging a few years from now.

The problem with this, when I was bed shopping of the 10 I narrowed it down to none were sold in any stores. All of them did offer a 6 month - 1 year return window. Which sounded good at the time, but the effort for me to buy and return all 10 until I found the I liked the best. Too much work. I went with a Ghost Bed, I have no idea how I would have slept on the others I had in mind, but I do like my bed and it wasn't super expensive.

The only change this time around was a $12,000 one from dux, and that was on sale(!).
And no, you can't test that bad boy, unless you pass a credit check.
