In my opinion Amerisleep Revere Bed is the best.Amerisleep is a high-quality memory foam mattress company.The Amerisleep Revere Bed is designed to give exceptional spinal support with unmatched conforming and contouring characteristics. Not only will your legs and hips have release from aches and pains, your neck and back will also gain superior relief from stiffness and pressure.Source: Top 5 Mattresses 2017 - TyRankerThere are three types of mattresses out there with any research to back them up, not great research, but research nonetheless. Most of the research is done comparing a brands own mattress to another low quality mattress, and they are not surprisingly able to show that theirs is better. There are some studies that are ok, but they are hard to find and hard to read for the average person and don't make for good marketing lines, and so are usually ignored.The first category is the Memory Foam beds. They have good support in the right places and sink where you need less pressure.
They work well for many people. I personally don't like them for two reasons. I feel like I have to pull myself out of the mattress if I want to turn over, and the second is the chemicals in them and off-gassing. (Tempurpedic Sued Over VOCs & Memory Foam Safety) Some people also complain that memory foam beds retain too much heat. Many hospitals use memory foam beds to prevent bedsores.Sleep Number beds are another category with some research. (Sleep Number research and news articles) These beds have good results, but are overly complicated. The more parts you add to a machine the more can go wrong. In this case they can leak, mold, breakdown etc. Most of the problems with this mattress type have nothing to do with the idea, and everything to do with manufacturing and customer service. The bed does indeed support your body well, it is adjustable, and will provide a good platform for sleep.The last category is not as widely known, because it is a regional startup. The intelliBED has a good simple design that seems to solve the problem of the other two beds.
It has the support where you need it and gives way where you don't want too much support, it has similar self serving studies (Sleep Research Online | IntelliBED), but is also being used in hospitals like the memory foam beds and reports good results. They have great customer support and a 30 year warranty. There is no off-gassing, and you don't sink or overheat in the gel. The downside to these beds are that they are not as widely available to try out locally. There is not a mattress out there that is perfect for every person. Find the one that is right for you. Most mattresses will take at least a week to get used to. These three categories of beds are not only the best in the field, but are also the most expensive. With warranties included the intelliBED is the best value for cost, for useful years. I hope this info helps.Any mattress that properly supports the curves of your body to keep your spine in neutral alignment. That will differ from person to person, but foam mattresses tend to be the best at that.
Innerspring mattresses with individually pocketed coils are also good.Check out my mattress buying guide for more help in selecting the right mattress.Mattress buying guide | The Mattress NerdFirm mattresses support proper spinal alignment much better than springy soft mattresses. Avoid waterbeds and flimsy mattresses that squeak or dip when you sit on them.The Level Sleep mattress provides extra lumbar support to keep you in alignment. This is an all foam mattress that has great recovery, feels soft but is still supportive in the right areas. What makes this mattress unique is that is basically a zoned memory foam mattress. As far as all foam mattresses go, it’s on the pricier side compared to its online competitors but definitely has a unique feel and may be a good fit if you feel you aren’t getting good lumbar support on your current mattress. For this review, I received the Tri Support Luxe version. This retails for $1,899 for a queen. The difference between the Luxe and the standard is that the Luxe has a top layer of latex for more resiliency and bounce while the standard uses a layer of memory foam for the top layer.
You can order either version online. This mattress is shipped in a box via FedEx or UPS. After placing your order it should arrive in about a week. The shipping weight for queen is around 70lbs. I appreciate all the research that has went into this mattress. According to their website: While other sleep product companies introduce products without clinical research, we think it’s essential. We commissioned an IRB-approved, single-blind sleep trial, again designed by Clete Kushida, M.D., PhD., in which study participants tested their current mattress against ours.The results confirmed that the TriSupport concept was working—participants fell asleep more quickly, woke up with less pain and stiffness, and reported significantly more energy and sleep satisfaction on our mattress. Below is a video of me on the mattress a few minutes after unboxing. Head/Shoulder Zone: LEVELsoftTM Talalay Latex Lumbar Zone: LEVELfirmTM Talalay Latex Hip/Leg Zone: LEVELmidTM Talalay Latex
7″ High Resilience Poly Urethane foam Durable, breathable Recoveree stretch polyester Level Sleep Standard Mattress Specifications Below is a picture that shows how the mattress is made: The first night I slept on this mattress I certainly noticed the extra support in my lumbar area. I tend to sleep on my stomach and appreciated that this kept my back in alignment while allowing my shoulders to sink in a bit more. Here’s a picture of the inside of the mattress. You can see that the top latex layer has 3 distinct parts. The latex in the center of the mattress is firmer than the other two pieces which is where your hips will land. To make it easier there is a band across the cover of the mattress so that you know when end to position the mattress against your headboard. The band is should be slightly closer to the headboard since that is where your hips will be. To give you an idea of how this will react, I took an exercise ball and rolled it across the top of the mattress to illustrate how it will transition from more sink to more support.
I also did a motion transfer test to show how much bounce you can expect with this mattress. It won’t be as bouncy as an inner spring mattress but because the top layer is latex it will still have some bounce. This test was done with the Luxe version of the mattress while the regular version will have less bounce to it. In terms of heat retention, this mattress performed similar to an all latex mattress. That’s because of the holes in the top later of latex provide air to flow through. The knitted cover is also very breathable and stretchy. A common complaint among all memory foam mattress owners is lack of lumbar support. The Level Sleep mattress is the first mattress that I have come across that specifically addresses this issue. Zoned coils systems have been around for a while and they are now available in hybrid foam/coil mattresses but many people prefer the feel of all foam because it handles motion transfer better. This mattress comes with a 110 night guarantee where you can try it for 110 nights and if you don’t like it get a full refund.
