If you’re looking for a quality mattress, Saatva is a great place to start. The company currently offers 11 different mattresses, including hybrid, memory foam, latex and adjustable options, as well as beds designed for heavier people and children. Its bestselling mattress, the Saatva Classic, comes in three firmness levels—plush soft, luxury firm and firm—so you’re able to select what’s best for you. 

While Saatva is an online company, you can try its mattresses at any one of its 16 showrooms across the U.S. If you’d rather test out a mattress in your own home, Saatva’s lengthy 365-night trial period gives you plenty of time to make a final decision. What’s more, the company offers free white glove delivery, so your mattress is delivered flat and placed exactly where you want it by professionals.

Avocado is the leading retailer for sustainable, organic mattresses. The company offers eight different beds, including crib mattresses and a vegan mattress. Its top-rated option, the Avocado Green Mattress, is a hybrid that uses a number of organic materials, including latex, cotton and wool. You can get this mattress in a plush, medium or firm model.

The company has nearly every certification you can think of for its materials and business practices: It holds GreenGuard Gold Certifications for its mattresses and bedding, meaning the products meet low chemical emissions limits and are safe for indoor spaces. It’s also a Certified B-Corp, a designation that shows the company has met a variety of social and environmental performance criteria. That’s just to name a few of Avocado’s certifications, though—you can learn about others on its website. Customers can order Avocado’s mattresses online or visit one of the brand’s stores.

Nectar mattresses are among our readers’ all-time favorite beds. They’re designed to accommodate a variety of sleepers, as the company’s three mattress options each come in memory foam and hybrid versions. The Forbes Vetted team’s preferred mattress from this brand is the Nectar Luxe—it’s the company’s tallest and most supportive bed, and also offers great temperature regulation.

Similar to Saatva, Nectar’s mattresses come with a 365-night trial period and lifetime warranty. However, Nectar offers a bed-in-box style of delivery, which allows you to skip in-person delivery scheduling or additional setup fees. In fact, Nectar is on our list of the best mattresses in a box you can buy. Nectar’s mattresses are also CertiPUR-US-certified, meaning that the foam they’re made of is free of certain toxic chemicals. You can order online or shop at one of the brand’s partnering mattress stores, and the company gives you the option to add a fresh set of sheets, a pillow and a mattress protector to your order, too.
