3 Best Mattresses -
The World's Easiest Memory Foam Mattress Guide

Find the best mattresses, best rated mattresses, best memory foam mattresses or tempurpedic mattresses with one easy question...

What's your budget?

There are only two things that really matter in a mattress; your comfort and whether you can afford the darn thing. You know what your budget is. If you can't afford a quality foam mattress, you might be happier with one of the best memory roam mattress toppers on an inexpensive inner spring mattress.

Unfortunately you can't try every memory foam mattress out there to find the best memory foam mattresses. And company specs and descriptions are far too confusing to base a decision on.

So the Maniac has done your mattress shopping homework for you.

This best rated mattresses list summarizes thousands of online mattress comments from numerous discussion groups and forums plus consumer review publications. The survey is done yearly starting in June. For comparison purposes, all of the best mattresses listed below are queen size. They all meet the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633-Federal flammability (open flame) standards. And you can buy all of them right now, with no waiting.

See, I told you this would be easy.

To find which of the 3 best mattresses are for you, just pick your price range.

Best mattresses - Tempurpedic DeluxeBed, Best memory foam mattresses

Over $1,500 US

$1,800+ The DeluxeBed by Tempur-PedicTM

The Tempur-Pedic DeluxeBed comes very close to mattress heaven. It's at the top of the heap of our list of best mattresses. It's the most popular, best rated mattress of all the Tempurpedic mattresses.

One of the things the Maniac liked best was the new softer, more instantly cushy feel. That's because most of the first inch of memory foam has a lower ILD. No initial 'hard' feeling at all, even at cool temperatures.

The total of 4" of quality memory foam is even enough for us larger side sleepers.

It's delivered and set up for you.

It doesn't have a fancy (useless) pillowtop. And it's not built so high that you have to reach down with the tips of your toes to find the ground. It's just quality memory foam bliss that you know will last for years and years which makes it one of the best memory foam mattresses you can buy.


Best mattresses-Healthy Foundations 10

$1,000 - $1,499 Range US

$1,200 Queen size Healthy Foundations - 10" Memory Foam Mattress

The Maniac stopped counting positive online comments for this entry in the best rated mattresses list at three hundred. It's a bit softer and less supportive than Tempurpedic mattresses, but many people really like the feel of sleeping on this bed.

Few odor problems were reported. This is unusual in a vacuum packed memory foam mattress at this low price point.

Not only does this memory foam mattress get kudos for comfort, but Healthy Foundations gets high praise for its customer support. They have a 365 day return guarantee that they do honor. All these factors make this a best rated mattress.


Best mattresses-NovaForm-Queen, best rated mattresses

$500-$999 US

$650 Queen size Pure Comfort Deluxe TM by Sleep Innovations. Buy at Costco.

Go to Costco for the best mattresses under $1,000. Yes, Costco.

The NovaForm memory foam mattress by Sleep Innovations has been getting a lot of positive buzz. Sometimes it's misspelled as nova foam. But any way you write it, it's comfortable and very affordable. Specially formulated foam ensures a temperature neutral sleeping experience. This earns this NovaForm memory foam mattress a place among the very best memory foam mattresses.

There's a small number of odor problems associated with this mattress. This is VERY unusual for mattresses priced below $1,000. Plus you get the benefits of the Costco guarantee. That makes it a best rated mattress.


Under $499 US

Yes, you caught me. There's only supposed to be three best memory foam mattresses on this page. So, why are there four price ranges? Because the Maniac wants to tell you that there are NO best memory foam mattresses under $499 US.

In the under $499 price range there's too many reports of strong odors that linger for months, and foam that loses it's 'memory' within a year or two.

Forget trying to find the best rated mattress in this price range. Get an inexpensive inner spring mattress and buy the best memory foam topper or pad to put on top of it.
