The defending champ: Saatva Classic
The top 3 mattresses comparable to the Saatva Classic
Why we chose it: The WinkBed has the advantage of being more supportive for heavier bodies, with a max weight capacity of 900lbs. (The Saatva Classic can only withstand up to 600lbs.) There's also the WinkBeds Plus, which is a modified version of the WinkBed that includes heavy-duty coils and denser foams.
Why we chose it: The Nectar Premier offers a blend of side-sleeper body contouring and back-sleeper support. It's also a top choice for couples, as its slow-moving foam dampens partners' movements exceptionally well. (We gave it a 4 out of 5 score for motion isolation.) And like Saatva, Nectar offers a one-year trial and a lifetime warranty — albeit for much less.
Why we chose it: We tested the luxury firm version of the Saatva Classic, and while it was excellent for side sleeping, a couple of testers did report some pressure buildup in that position. While you can opt for the plusher Saatva, you can also choose the Helix Midnight Luxe, a bed designed especially for side sleeping with a balanced medium tension.
