Back pain and poor sleep go hand in hand, but the best mattress for back pain can help soothe pain and relieve pressure from the lumbar, helping you to rest comfortably. Whether your back pain is the result of a new injury or an existing condition, your sleep quality is important to your recovery. Studies show that sleep deprivation can lower your pain threshold, which means your pain will feel worse after a disrupted night’s sleep.
Several members of our mattress testing team experience recurrent back pain, so understand how the right mattress can make the world of difference. Collectively, we’ve spent hours testing all the latest mattresses to see how they fare against back pain.
What is the best mattress for back pain in 2024? After analysing test data, the Saatva RX is our top choice, thanks to the unparalleled support it provides to those with chronic conditions, such as scoliosis and sciatica. However, with an MSRP of $3,295 for a queen, it is an incredibly expensive bed.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up nine other options, spanning all sleep needs, body types and budgets. Some of the beds below also feature in our guide to the year’s best mattresses for all sleepers, thanks to their outstanding comfort and overall support. If you are shopping for a new mattress for back pain today, we're tracking the best deals and lowest prices in our monthly mattress sales page.
There is no blanket solution to finding the right mattress for back pain, as our sleep needs, type of back pain and body type will all differ. To help narrow it down, we've spoken to chiropractors and spine surgeons to get their advice on what to look for when buying a mattress for back pain. You’ll find their advice at the bottom of this guide.
Recent updates
After carefully analysing our testing data from our Saatva Contour5 review, we've added it to this guide as the best memory foam mattress for back pain.
1. The best mattress for back pain overall
Quick summary
The Saatva RX is a luxury handcrafted mattress designed specifically to ease chronic back pain and painful joint conditions such as sciatica, arthritis and scoliosis. It’s our top recommendation for those experiencing back pain because of the deep pressure relief it provides, alongside full body support and pain relieving comfort.
It comes in one firmness – Saatva describe this as ‘supportive plush’, although we rated it as a medium firm and contains Saatva’s unique Therapeutic Support Core, which constantly adjusts itself to the shape of your body as you change positions in bed – or remain in the same spot. Combine this with the brand’s patented Lumbar Zone Quilting and a gel-infused memory foam to protect your spine, and the mattress is ideally placed to help provide support where it’s needed.
As you might expect, this isn’t a cheap mattress. At full MSRP a queen size costs $3,295, but it’s usually discounted to $2,995 and you can save more at major sales events. Still, this is the most expensive mattress in our list and, if you’re on a tighter budget you might want to consider the mid-range DreamCloud at number two, which is over $2000 cheaper for a queen.

However, for the ultimate support and improvements in back pain, the Saatva RX beats all the other contenders.
Our review: in more detail
Like all Saatva mattresses, the Saatva RX is handmade in the US at Saatva-owned factories. We’d class it as a direct competitor to the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt (see our Also Tested section below), which is similarly priced but doesn’t disperse heat as effectively as the RX. It also doesn’t have as many specialist features as the RX. It’s one of the best luxury mattresses on the market, delivered directly to your bedroom and setup with Saatva’s free white glove service.
The Saatva RX is expensive, but it's a worthwhile investment if chronic back and joint pain regularly disrupts your sleep
We reviewed a twin size Saatva RX for a month and awarded it a test score of 4.5/5, rating it highly for exceptional pressure relief, enhanced back support and good temperature regulation. Our lead tester experiences mild scoliosis and long-term lower back pain and noticed a marked improvement in her pain levels.
The RX’s Achilles heel is its motion transfer. It’s a great choice if you’re a combination sleeper who wants to be able to change position at night, but not so good if you’re sharing your bed with a restless sleeper. The mattress is also probably a little too firm for lightweight side sleepers, who may feel a little pressure build up at the hips and shoulders.
On analyzing the Saatva RX’s user reviews, the most common complaint is that the edge support is poor – a distinct contrast to our personal experience. There are also a few complaints about the firmness being either too soft or firm, which is to be expected as firmness is subjective.
What we like about it...
Why you can trust Tom's Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what's best for you. Find out more about how we test, analyze, and rate.
✅ A perfect blend of comfort and support: The Saatva RX comes in a medium-firm feel, and chiropractors now recommend this as the best mattress firmness for back pain. During testing, we felt it delivered a magic combination of pressure relief, support and full body comfort.
✅ Reduces back and joint pain: Our main reviewer with mild scoliosis felt a big reduction in back pain when sleeping on the Saatva RX. This is down to the patented Lumbar Zone Quilting and specialist Therapeutic Support Core – two features that provide superior lumbar support and react to your body’s movements.
✅ Fantastic extras: Free white glove delivery is included with the Saatva RX, as is optional removal of your old mattress and bed base. This is great value for money. You’ll also get a full 365 nights to try out the mattress and a lifetime warranty, which adds to the peace of mind with such an expensive purchase.
What we don't like about it...
❌ Expensive: Though it's competitively priced and nearly always on sale, the Saatva RX is very expensive. For smaller budgets, try the DreamCloud Hybrid (#2) instead.
❌ Returns aren't free: Saatva charges a $99 fee if you want to return or exchange your mattress. It isn't alone in this either – Avocado also charges a $99 fee, Tempur-Pedic charges $175 for returns, and Naturepedic charges 10% of the mattress cost. Thankfully most other online mattress companies offer free returns.
| Features | In brief | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Support and comfort | Great for most body sizes and sleeping styles but may be too firm for lightweight side sleepers. Not suitable for those weighing 300lbs. | ★★★★★ |
| Pressure relief | The best mattress for back pain and relieving pressure points all over the body. | ★★★★★ |
| Temperature control | Good unless you’re a very hot sleeper. None of our testers felt warm at night. | ★★★★½ |
| Motion isolation | Has ample bounce, which won’t be great if you share your bed with a restless sleeper. | ★★★ |
| Edge support | We found the edge support excellent, but some customers weren’t so satisfied. | ★★★★ |
| Build quality | Handcrafted and finished to a high standard, as you’d expect from a luxury mattress from Saatva. | ★★★★★ |
When, where and how to buy
Saatva mattresses are sold by Saatva itself, though we do sometimes see refurbished and past-season models popping up on mattress liquidator sites. There are 12 Saatva Viewing Rooms located across America, where you can lie on every Saatva mattress – and test out the brand's sleep accessories too (these are now also being sold via Saatva's Amazon store). While Saatva consultants are on hand to answer your questions, orders still need to be placed via the website.
Saatva RX mattress prices typically fluctuate through the year, with the MSRP of a queen mattress usually at $3,295. You shouldn’t need to pay full price though as there's a monthly Saatva mattress sale offering 10-15% discounts. But do avoid buying during summer months as this tends to be the only time of year that Saatva don’t offer a discount on its mattresses.
The best time to buy a Saatva RX is either during the Labor Day sales in September, or the Black Friday sales at the end of November.
The Saatva RX is hard to beat if you experience back pain or chronic back and joint conditions. As long as you can afford the premium price tag, you’ll get optimum lumbar support and full body pressure relief, along with a bed that’s extremely comfortable. And the build quality of Saatva mattresses is exceptional, giving you luxury hotel vibes at home.

2. The best affordable mattress for back pain
Quick summary
If you can’t justify the high price tag of the Saatva RX, the DreamCloud is a great alternative. Our testers were impressed by the layers of adaptive foam and innersprings that immediately contoured their hips and lower lumbar, resulting in much less pain in those areas. The coils provide the support and correct spinal alignment, while the gel-infused memory foam gives the contouring hug that will appeal to memory foam fans.
You also get all this for far less than you’ll pay for many of the mattress’ hybrid rivals – we rate it as one of the best hybrid mattresses on the market. The DreamCloud has an evergreen sale on that means you’ll normally pay just $665 for a queen size. To be honest, unless you want to spend even less (in which case we’d recommend number 3 in our list, the Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress), the DreamCloud is hard to beat for budget and comfort.

Our review: in more detail
The DreamCloud is the brand’s entry-level and most affordable mattress. At 12" high and with eight layers of memory foam, foam and steel coils, our testers found the mattress to be at the firmer end of medium firm, rating it at around eight out of 10. They slept on the mattress for three weeks, noting how much the mattress improved their back pain.
Much of this is down to the slightly firmer feel of the mattress, along with additional support in the lower lumbar region. It took our petite and average weight sleepers a little while to adjust to the firmness, while heavier testers found it comfortable and felt well-supported immediately. But once everyone adjusted, it provided a comfortable night’s sleep in all positions.
The DreamCloud is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality mattress for back pain with a mid-range price tag
However, with its firmer feel, it’s possible that lightweight side sleepers might again find it a little too firm. If that’s you, take a look at the Helix Midnight Luxe (#8 on our list), as it’s specifically designed for side sleepers.
Although it’s not a dedicated cooling mattress, the DreamCloud does a great job of keeping sleepers cool. It also shines when it comes to motion isolation, with little chance that a restless partner will disturb you. The only slight disappointment was underwhelming edge support, particularly for larger testers.
What we like about it...
✅ Great for back and hip pain: The DreamCloud quickly adapted to our reviewers' bodies and provided extra lumbar support to keep the spine aligned. It's a great choice for anyone struggling with back pain.
✅ Absorbs motion well: The DreamCloud did a better job of isolating motion in our tests than the more expensive Saatva RX: we scored it 4.5 out of 5. That makes it a good option if you share a bed with a restless sleeper as you’re less likely to be disturbed.
✅ Suitable for heavier bodies: The DreamCloud has a heavier weight capacity than the Saatva: it can support up to 1,000lbs, with a maximum of 500lbs on each side. The firmer feel also means that heavier people are more likely to find it comfortable than very light-weight sleepers.
What we don't like about it...
❌ Edge support could be better: We only gave the DreamCloud 3.5 out of 5 for edge support. It's fine for smaller bodies, but our taller and heavier sleepers found the edges too weak when getting out of bed.
❌ Too firm for lightweight sleepers: For sleepers under 130lbs, the DreamCloud may be too firm to offer any meaningful cradling or support. Some side sleepers might have a hard time adjusting to it, too.
| Features | In brief | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Support and comfort | Most suited to back and stomach sleepers, although average and heavier side sleepers also adjusted to it quickly. | ★★★★½ |
| Pressure relief | Particularly good at relieving lower back pain and hip pain. | ★★★★½ |
| Temperature control | A moisture-wicking cover and individually wrapped coils ensure that the mattress stays cool to the touch and promotes airflow. | ★★★★½ |
| Motion isolation | Stops most motion transfer, meaning sleepers shouldn’t be disturbed by a restless partner. | ★★★★½ |
| Edge support | Could be better, particularly for heavier build sleepers who might not feel supported when lying on the edge of the bed. | ★★★½ |
| Build quality | Good build quality for the price and customers who have owned it for more than three years say it’s still supportive. | ★★★★½ |
Where, when and how to buy
The DreamCloud is an online-only mattress that’s officially priced between $839 for a twin and $2,178 for a split king. However, there’s an evergreen DreamCloud mattress sale that’s reduced the price by 50% since the beginning of the year (2024).
You shouldn’t expect to see the mattress becoming cheaper on Black Friday for this reason and, in fact, it cost more last November than it did in October, rising to $799 for a queen. Our advice is to buy the mattress when a queen costs $665, as this is the cheapest price we’ve seen the DreamCloud sold for.
If you’re looking for a more affordable mattress that will improve your back and hip pain, the DreamCloud is a fantastic choice. It may not meet the same levels of luxury as the Saatva RX, but it’s a well-made mattress that still looks great with its quilted cover. The support is excellent and if you share your bed with a restless partner, the DreamCloud knocks the Saatva RX out of the water when it comes to motion isolation.

3. The best budget cooling mattress for back pain
Quick summary
If you experience back pain and are operating with a tighter budget, the Cocoon Chill could be your ideal fit. This all-foam mattress is the cheapest on our list, and we rate it amongst the best mattresses under $1,000. It’s great for back pain as it does an excellent job of distributing weight and alleviating pressure points. Like many brands, Sealy have an evergreen discount on the Cocoon Chill, and you can usually pick up a queen size mattress for $699.
It's also one of the most consistently cool all-foam mattresses we've tested. All-foam mattresses are prone to trapping in heat, but, as its name suggests, we found the Cocoon Chill to provide excellent temperature regulation (its hybrid counterpart highly in our best cooling mattress guide). Again, this is an important feature for back pain sufferers, as kicking the covers off in a bid for relief can leave you prone to further lumbar injury.

Our review: in more detail
The Cocoon Chill offers much better pressure relief than you might expect for the price. There is a little sinkage from the memory foam – we rated the mattress as medium firm (6.5 out of 10), but you won’t feel enveloped by the bed. This allows the mattress to cradle the pressure points and provide cushioning, but still give enough support to keep the spine aligned for most sleepers.
However, the mattress isn’t suitable for heavier sleepers and those weighing over 230lbs are likely to find themselves sinking too far into the mattress for adequate support. You could upgrade to the hybrid version for more support if you’re a heavier weight, but for maximum support we’d recommend the WinkBed Plus (#5) instead. Conversely, very lightweight sleepers may find it slightly too firm.
The Cocoon by Sealy Chill does an excellent job of distributing weight and alleviating pressure points, all while keeping you cool
The mattress is made up of three layers, starting with memory foam for pressure relief, followed by a responsive comfort layer to isolate motion. Six inches of more durable memory foam finish the bed off. Its big selling point (alongside the excellent pressure relief) is its cooling capabilities, and these are provided by the cool to the touch cover that’s infused with Phase Change Material (PCM). This does a great job of dissipating heat, with our testers finding that it stayed cool to the touch throughout the night. This is an impressive achievement for a budget mattress.
As you’d expect from a memory foam mattress, motion isolation is excellent and you’re unlikely to even feel another sleeper in the bed. However, edge support is pretty woeful so if you want a bed that’s sturdy enough to push in and out of, try the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (#4).
What we like about it...
✅ Soothes pressure points: Despite lacking the sink-in softness of other all-foam mattresses, the Sealy Perfect Fit memory foam helps distribute weight to reduce pressure build-up. Our review panel also found it prevented the hips from sinking to keep your spine correctly aligned.
✅ Cooling on a budget: The Cocoon Chill boasts impressive temperature regulation for an all-foam mattress. The phase-change material in its top cover does an effective job of wicking away heat and moisture.
✅ Limits motion transfer: The Cocoon Chill uses dense memory foam that does an exceptional job of isolating motion. We don’t think sleepers will be disturbed by even the most restless of partners.
What we don't like about it...
❌ Lacks edge support: The slight sinkage of the mattress means you won’t feel like you’ll roll out of bed, but it does take effort to push in and out of bed, with the foam giving little support to those sitting on the mattress.
❌ Not supportive enough for heavier bodies: Those weighing over 230lbs are likely to sink too far into the Cocoon Chill, meaning their spines will be thrown out of alignment.
| Features | In brief | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Support and comfort | A medium firm mattress with a little sinkage that offers plenty of support and comfort. | ★★★★ |
| Pressure relief | It’s not as contouring as other foam mattresses, but pressure relief is excellent across the back and hips. | ★★★★ |
| Temperature control | The PCM cover keeps sleepers cool at night, keeping the mattress cool to the touch and wicking away heat. | ★★★★½ |
| Motion isolation | Incredibly effective motion isolation, as you would expect from an all-foam mattress. | ★★★★½ |
| Edge support | Edge support is weak, particularly if you’re trying to sit on the edge of the bed. | ★★★ |
| Build quality | Decent build quality for the price – we’d expect an average lifespan of around six years. | ★★★★ |
When, where and how to buy
Sealy’s evergreen 35% off deal on the Cocoon Chill Memory Foam Mattress means that you can pick up a queen for $699 (MSRP $1,079). Prices start from $399 for a twin. You’ll also get a Sealy sleep bundle (pillows, sheet set and mattress protector) thrown in for free, with a value of up to $199.
This deal does mean that, based on previous experience, the Cocoon Chill is unlikely to be discounted further on major sales days. Still, this does mean that you don’t need to wait to snap this mattress up. You can also find the Cocoon Chill on third-party websites such as Amazon and Walmart.
However, we advise shopping with Sealy, as the prices are often similar, and you'll get better benefits buying direct. The only time we recommend shopping third-party is when there's a discount so good you can't ignore it. And even then, make sure to read the trial and returns policy closely.
The Cocoon by Sealy Chill deserves its place in our lineup for pressure relief alone, but the added benefit of its fantastic cooling abilities makes it an even better option for those who sleep hot. It’s also ideal for those on a tighter budget, with the evergreen 35% discount making it one of the best value mattresses out there.

4. The best luxury cooling mattress for back pain
Quick summary
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress combines customization options, excellent temperature regulation and superb spinal support. Our reviewer rated it as one of the most comfortable mattresses they’d ever slept on, with the zoned coils and responsive comfort foam combining to ease and soothe aches and pains. Combine this with the GlacioTex cooling cover and this is a mattress that will keep hot sleepers comfortable – even dealing with night sweats.
Price wise, the Aurora Luxe sits below the other customizable option in our list (the WinkBed and the Nolah Evolution). The standard evergreen discount is 25% but try to wait for the 30% discount at major sales events that takes a queen mattress down to $1,305.50 (MSRP $1,865). Add in the optional Cloud Pillow Top and you’ll pay $1,585.50 (MSRP $2,265). It’s still not a cheap mattress, but we think it’s worth the investment due to its construction and spinal support.

Our review: in more detail
The Aurora Luxe’s support is provided by layers of memory foam and zoned coils. We found that the coils and responsive comfort foam above it adapted well to our movements, doing an excellent job of keeping the spine aligned. This is crucial for dealing with back pain. And the mattress also offers customization options, which means you can choose the right firmness level for your body type and sleeping style.
The medium firmness (rated 4-6/10 by Brooklyn Bedding) delivered the perfect balance of plushness and firmness for our petite tester, but there’s also the option of going softer (2-4) or firmer (7-8). It’s likely that most people with back pain will get the most support and relief from the firm option in this case, although side sleepers and those of a lighter weight may wish to stick with the medium.
The Aurora Luxe's combination of zoned coils and responsive comfort foam eases and soothes aches and pains, while keeping sleepers reliably cool
If you’re a hot sleeper, the Aurora Luxe is an excellent choice. The mattress has well-spaced coils for airflow along with a layer of dynamic cooling foam to absorb heat. But the real bonus for hot sleepers is the GlacioTex cooling cover, which keeps the mattress cool to the touch and removes excess body heat. However, the material is slightly slippery, and some sleepers may find this annoying – particularly when it comes to keeping a fitted sheet in place.
The mattress did fall down slightly on motion transfer, so isn’t the best option for very light sleepers or those sharing their bed with someone who moves about a lot at night. Motion isolation was improved a little bit with the Cloud Pillow Top, which adds a bit more cushioning to the bed, but it still wasn’t great. If you’re looking for superior motion isolation, the DreamCloud may be a better option.
What we like about it...
✅ Customizable firmness options: The Aurora Luxe offers three different firmness options for a little less than other mattresses in this guide, plus you can also buy non-traditional sizes to fit RVs.
✅ Excellent cooling capabilities: The GlacioTex cooling cover offers excellent temperature regulation, with the infused foam and coils backing it up with good airflow through the mattress.
✅ Superior spinal support: The zoned coils and responsive comfort foam adapt to the body, providing plenty of lumbar support to help keep the spine aligned and avoid back pain.
What we don't like about it...
❌ Weak motion isolation: This isn’t the best choice if you are a light sleeper or share your bed with a restless partner as the bed doesn’t do as good a job of minimizing motion as its rivals.
❌ The slippery cover: The GlacioTex cover might do a superb job of cooling the bed, but it leaves a slippery surface that causes sheets to wrinkle and stay put.
| Features | In brief | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Support and comfort | Even the lightest of bodies should get enough contouring and comfort around the pressure points. | ★★★★½ |
| Pressure relief | The Aurora Luxe does a superb job of keeping the spine aligned and easing pressure points. | ★★★★½ |
| Temperature control | The GlacioTex cover keeps sleepers cool at night, even helping to minimize night sweats. | ★★★★½ |
| Motion isolation | The Aurora Luxe performed poorly in both our drop tests and real world experiences, with a lot of motion reverberating across the bed. | ★★ |
| Edge support | The mattress is constructed with higher gauge coils on its perimeter, which gives the bed excellent edge support. | ★★★★ |
| Build quality | Well-made and well-constructed, the Aurora Luxe has the look of a more expensive mattress. | ★★★★ |
When, where and how to buy
The standard evergreen discount with Brooklyn Bedding mattresses is 25% and you’ll find that in play throughout the year. Wait for one of the major sales events in the year and you’ll get 30% off. This takes a queen mattress down to $1,305.50 (MSRP $1,865). Add in the optional Cloud Pillow Top and you’ll pay $1,585.50 (MSRP $2,265).
The Aurora Luxe is available from third party retailers such as Bed, Bath, & Beyond but, unless they’ve got a particular sale offer on, we’d recommend buying directly from Brooklyn Bedding.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe promotes excellent spinal alignment, leading to an improvement in back pain and other aches. The customizable options allow you to tailor the mattress to your exact sleeping requirements and the GlacioTex cooling cover makes this a great option for hot sleepers.

5. The best mattress for heavy people with back pain
Quick summary
Another customizable mattress, the WinkBed comes in four firmness options. But what sets it apart is that it’s the only model to include a Plus option for sleepers weighing over 250lbs. Unsurprisingly, it’s also our top pick in our best mattresses for heavy people guide.
All WinkBeds also come with the brand’s 3-Step Back Relief System, which aligns the spine and joints, as well as helping to eliminated muscle tension. There’s also a Lumbar Layer for extra support in the middle lumbar region of the mattress, and these two innovations combined help remove back pain successfully.
Read what we liked, didn't like, test scores, and how to buy it ▼
The WinkBed Plus is $200 more expensive than the other three firmness options, but there is a permanent $300 discount on the mattress meaning you’ll pay $1,699 for a queen size (MSRP $1,999).
Our review: in more detail
The WinkBed Plus is the best option for heavier bodies with back pain as it can easily support sleepers who weight 250lbs or more. The make-up of the Plus is slightly different to the other three firmness options. There’s no Euro Pillow Top here, but instead a layer of anti-sag foam to provide optimal support.
There’s also an added layer of pure latex with seven distinct support zones and an open cell design for added airflow, along with a layer of pressure relieving foam. The individually wrapped coils are also reinforced for support of heavier bodies, with extra edge support so sleepers can spread out across the whole mattress.
The WinkBed provides superb back pain support for heavier people, thanks to reinforced coils and anti-sag foam
Our testers trialed the standard WinkBed, sleeping on the Luxury Firm option. They noted the excellent spinal support from the Back Relief System, which is backed up by the hundreds of WinkBed 5-star customer reviews that praise the mattress for getting rid of back pain. The mattress is rated at 8/10 on the firmness scale, but it is worth noting that sleepers weighing over 300lbs may find the bed a little softer, giving more of a 6/10 feel.
Motion isolation is excellent, but we did feel that really hot sleepers might find the mattress too warm. The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe will be a better match here but, of course, it won’t hold as much weight. You could also consider adding a cooling cover.
What we like...
✅ Targeted support: The WinkBed has zoned coils for targeted support and both a back relief system and added lumbar support to ensure the spine is kept aligned, with aches and pains smoothed out.
✅ Built for heavier bodies: The Plus version is specifically designed for heavier bodies, allowing these sleepers to stay supported in all sleeping positions.
✅ Edge-to-edge support: The reinforced perimeter of the WinkBed means that the mattress is secure even when sitting or lying on the very edges.
What we don't like...
❌ Average temperature regulation: It’s not the worst mattress for temperature regulation, but some sleepers might find the WinkBed a bit stuffy, which can be a particular problem for heavier bodies.
❌ Heavy: There’s no white glove delivery option with the WinkBed and this is a heavy mattress that could be taxing to move about. Not great if you’re already suffering with back pain.
| Features | In brief | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Support and comfort | With specific features designed to support heavier bodies, the WinkBed Plus also offers plenty of comfort. | ★★★★ |
| Pressure relief | The combination of the back relief system, lumbar support and zoned coils ensures that sleepers will feel plenty of pressure relief as well as a reduction in aches and pains. | ★★★★½ |
| Temperature control | The WinkBed offers decent temperature regulation, but it won’t be cool enough for hot sleepers and could exacerbate night sweats. | ★★★★ |
| Motion isolation | The WinkBed offers excellent motion isolation, with our tester barely feeling any movement from their co-sleeper. | ★★★★½ |
| Edge support | The edge-to-edge support on the bed means that sleepers can use the full width of the mattress for lying and sitting on. | ★★★★½ |
| Build quality | The WinkBed Plus is incredibly well constructed with a good build quality, but it doesn’t have the luxurious finish you’ll get from the Saatva RX or even the DreamCloud. | ★★★★ |
When, where and how to buy
WinkBed mattresses are available exclusively from WinkBeds. You can only buy the mattress online, but the brand does have 20 showrooms located across America where you can try the beds and discuss your requirements with the onsite sleep consultants.
There’s a permanent $300 off the WinkBed, meaning you’ll never pay full price. This also means that you won’t find the mattress any cheaper at major sales events. Expect to pay $1,699 for queen WinkBed Plus (MSRP $1,999).
The WinkBed Plus is the best choice for heavier sleepers with back pain, with plenty of support to keep the spine aligned. It gives the Saatva RX a run for its money with its all-round function, but the finish isn’t quite as luxurious. But if you weigh over 250lbs, this is by far the best option to help with aches and pains.
