The quest for a good night's rest has never been so high-tech. As a certified sleep science coach, I've spent six years testing over a hundred mattresses to bring you the best options available in 2026.
Our team reflects on our findings each year, with new models launching and others retiring. This year, we’ve added the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Hybrid and honourable mentions for Leesa Original Hybrid and Purple’s Mattress. The Sleep Number p6 Smart Bed has been removed due to updates in technology and testing.
From Leesa's bouncy yet supportive hybrid mattress to Purple’s innovative GelFlex grid, there's a mattress for every sleeper out there. However, with so many options, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. That’s why we break down what you should look for when buying a mattress and how long it lasts.
But let’s not forget the importance of testing mattresses in your own home to ensure they provide the comfort you need. This year's picks offer excellent support, temperature regulation and durability, making them suitable for various sleeping positions and body types.
