Prices for mattresses in CR’s tests range from a low of $275 for a foam Sleep Innovations Marley to $4,950 for a high-end Duxiana Dux innerspring. But by and large, according to the Better Sleep Council, 60 percent of consumers prefer to spend $1,000 or less on their mattress.
Of course, some in this price range are better than others. So we bounced through our ratings of innerspring and foam mattresses to find the most notable nominees that fall within that budget.
At CR we buy and test queen-size mattresses from well-known brands such as Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, Stearns & Foster, and Tempur-Pedic, and from relatively new players including Avocado, Casper, Leesa, Reverie, Tuft & Needle.
