Consumer Reports has released its 2026 mattress ratings after testing 40 models over 6 months with instrumented sleep tracking and human testers of all body types.
Top Rated
- Best Overall: Saatva Classic ($1,595 queen) — 92/100
- Best Memory Foam: Tempur-Pedic Adapt ($1,699) — 90/100
- Best Budget: Ikea Valevag ($449) — 85/100
- Best for Back Pain: WinkBed Plus ($1,699) — 89/100
- Best Cooling: Casper Snow ($1,995) — 88/100
The biggest surprise: several budget options under $500 outperformed $2,000+ competitors in durability testing. Brand name does not correlate with quality in the mattress industry.
