Criteria
How these were ranked.
The same rules score every mattress. This profile changes how much each dimension counts. Full detail is in the methodology.
Movement travels through some builds more than others
For a light-sleeping couple, motion isolation gets double weight. Where only a construction-based estimate exists, the comparison marks it as estimated.
Back sleepers need the middle held up
Support counts for more on the back, and it is checked against the firmness range that keeps the lower back level at this weight.
