To cut through the clutter of advertising you’ll see out there, Consumer Reports has a look at the best mattresses and mattress retailers. RELATED: Easily freshen and disinfect your mattress with this common household itemIn each category,Consumer Reports recommends a best buy, as well as other mattresses they recommend based on ratings. Innerspring: The Denver Mattress Doctor’s Choice for $500. The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Trust Cushion for $1,275 is also a best buy in this category, with a higher rating, but it’s obviously a bit more expensive. Memory foam: Tuft & Needle Ten for $500. The Novaform 14″ Serafina Pearl Gel (Costco) is also a “best buy” pick for this category, but it’s more expensive at $800. It’s important to remember that price does not necessarily equate to satisfaction with mattresses.

We explain the major differences between the brands so you can choose the one that is best for you. Although you can find consumer-written reviews at store sites, none of the major professional consumer product rating organizations, such as Consumer Reports®, has done a thorough review of heated mattress pads for about 15 years. Good Housekeeping® magazine did a short review in January 2010. Many people in the United States have never heard of electric heated mattress pads. Of those who know about them, most that we speak with are surprised to learn that only four companies produce almost every electric mattress pad sold in the United States. Each of these producers sells under many brands.
The heating technologies and the fabrics between each of the four producers vary considerably but the brands within each separate producer are quite similar.
