What Makes a Luxury Mattress?

best luxury mattress

Are you searching for an ultra-luxurious mattress without breaking your budget? Premium materials, certifications that acknowledge elevated standards and thoughtful extras all define a luxury mattress.

Memory foam mattresses provide cloud-like conformance and pressure point relief, and often receive top marks in durability tests. These beds typically offer a medium firm feel with excellent durability results.

The Saatva Classic

The Saatva Classic innerspring mattress sold online is an innovative combination of steel-coil base with high density foam rails and pillow top made of organic cotton with zoned quilting for extra lumbar support. Sleepers will experience both comfort and support.

The Saatva mattress stands out from other beds by using organic cotton and recycled steel in its core layer to reduce its carbon footprint, which makes it attractive for eco-conscious shoppers. Furthermore, its non-removable organic cotton cover meets eco-conscious and GOTS certification criteria while an antimicrobial fabric treatment helps ensure it remains fresh and healthy over time.

At our test labs, the Saatva Classic Luxury Firm mattress (the middle option of their line; they also offer Plush Soft and Firm options) provided excellent back and side sleeper support across a range of weights and sizes. While heavier people may prefer firmer mattresses as their bodies can more easily push through soft comfort layers causing sinkage, heavier people might prefer something firmer due to increased sinkage when sleeping on soft comfort layers.

Its sturdy construction should guarantee long-term use for this mattress model, making the Classic more resilient than many of its peers. A non-prorated lifetime warranty covers its construction as well as box spring and foundation if required.

Just like any mattress, the Saatva requires regular upkeep for optimal appearance and feel. Vacuuming every three to four months should remove dirt and dust from its tufting and upholstery while rotating head-to-foot every month during its first three months should help to avoid body indentations from developing.

The Saatva offers a comfortable bouncy feel that makes it easy to move around on its dual innerspring design, as well as responsiveness that should allow couples to switch sleep positions more easily and get in and out of bed more efficiently. Although there may be some motion transfer, its combination of foam and coils should help minimize vibrations that might disturb partners; its motion isolation performance is better than Loom & Leaf but not as effective as Emery.

The Brooklyn Aurora Luxe

The Brooklyn Aurora hybrid mattress offers multiple cooling technologies that make it suitable for hot sleepers. It boasts a 1.5-inch layer of copper-infused gel memory foam designed to draw heat away from your body. Furthermore, there’s also an insulating fabric cover and phase change technology to regulate body temperature for a cool night’s restful slumber. And with three firmness levels to choose from – so no matter which firmness level best meets your sleeping preferences, the Brooklyn Aurora offers something suitable.

The Brooklyn Aurora mattress’s foundation consists of pocketed coils which offer excellent support and contour to your body, and are surrounded by a durable foundation layer designed to prevent sinkage and sagging over time. Furthermore, its combination of high-density and medium-density foam creates a balanced feel across its entirety – you’re even given 120 days to decide if it is indeed your ideal luxury mattress!

This mattress provides a medium-soft to firm sleeping experience that suits most sleepers. With 4.5 inches of foam before pocketed coils for added support for lightweight or petite users. Furthermore, TitanFlex polyfoam’s top comfort layers contour around contours while feeling responsive – providing plenty of support even for light sleepers or petite individuals.

These layers are topped by the same cooling immediate response technology found in the Signature Hybrid mattress, to keep you cool throughout the night. In addition, an 8-inch layer of TitanCool polyfoam contains copper-infused phase change materials designed to dissipate heat and lower your body’s temperature.

The Brooklyn Aurora is an excellent mattress for back and stomach sleepers suffering from shoulder pain as its foam conforms well to their bodies without creating too much pressure. Unfortunately, side sleepers will likely not find it supportive enough as their shoulders and arms weigh down on it; therefore a medium firm or firm version would likely provide better support – this option should also work for pregnant women looking for relief from shoulder discomfort.

The Helix Midnight Elite

Helix mattresses offer customers the freedom to select their ideal firmness level. There are six standard models, plus six Luxe models, and an Helix Plus mattress specifically tailored for heavier people. Each bed is handmade-to-order and typically ships out between 1-4 weeks after purchase; upon unpacking they’ll fit neatly onto your bed frame or floor within minutes before needing some time to expand and settle into place before sleeping on it for the first time.

Helix’s flagship mattress, Midnight Elite, boasts an outstanding customer satisfaction rating of 4.5 out of 5, as of May 2023. It offers medium firmness to accommodate most sleep positions; back and stomach sleepers may require something firmer like Dusk or Dawn Luxe for optimal support. Support is provided by DuraDense foam while an upper layer of Helix Memory Plus Foam allows soft sinkage and deep contouring to cradle hips and shoulders while simultaneously decreasing pressure points while improving airflow and minimizing heat retention.

Helix mattresses feature an ultra-soft, breathable cover to promote airflow throughout the mattress and keep you cool at night, which can be especially helpful if you tend to sleep hot. Helix’s main coil system in its base is thick and robust with not just one but two layers of micro coils which reduce motion transfer significantly. In addition, Helix foams are CertiPUR-US certified which means they are free from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and phthalates that could disrupt restful sleep.

Helix mattresses offer reasonable pricing considering the high quality materials and features they feature, with queen size models ranging between $1,099-$1,030; sales typically occur around major holidays. If you’re looking for ways to save money, Helix also provides coupon codes and promotions on their website to save even more.

The Serta EcoCloud

The Serta EcoCloud hybrid mattress combines innerspring and latex components. Made with organic materials and featuring a breathable cover for cool sleeping comfort, its zoned support layer offers excellent spinal alignment and pressure relief for an exceptional night’s rest. Plus, this mattress is hypoallergenic – making it an excellent option for allergy sufferers!

The EcoCloud’s comfort layer is constructed of natural Talalay latex, known for its contouring and cradling qualities. Soft enough for most sleepers but springy enough for easy movement across your mattress surface. In addition, individually wrapped coils add firmer support in certain regions while offering soft cushioning elsewhere; together these zones work to offer optimal support across various sleep positions.

EcoCloud mattresses feature strong edge support to prevent them from sagging over time – particularly important for sleepers who like sitting or lying on the edges of their beds. Plus, its breathable construction and organic cotton cover keep it cool to sleep on!

We discovered the EcoCloud mattress has fairly high motion transfer, which could become an issue when sharing with a partner or pets. While its latex and coil layers do an admirable job of isolating movement, they don’t prevent every movement from reaching your partner’s side of the bed.

If you are a light sleeper, we would advise opting for something with better motion isolation than the EcoCloud mattress. Overall though, it should serve most sleepers well and couples who like sex in bed will find this bed particularly accommodating!

WinkBeds’ EcoCloud mattress can be purchased online and delivered free to anywhere within the contiguous U.S. It comes packaged in an easy-to-unbox and set up box, and boasts both a 120-night sleep trial period as well as lifetime warranty coverage; additional information regarding their return policy can be found on their website.
