The Best Mattresses of 2022: Top-Rated Beds From Helix, Nectar, Casper And More

This story is a part of Sleep Week 2022, our guide to the best sleep-related products money can buy. All week long, we'll be sending you our top picks, from great mattresses to soft sheets.

Today's mattresses aren’t just designed for better sleep—they’ve revolutionized the task of mattress buying altogether. Top brands have developed materials to help you snooze comfier and cooler and wake up with less pain. But they’ve also changed the purchase process: You can browse online, choose bed-in-a-box options for simpler delivery, and in most cases, take advantage of generous sleep trials that let you test your new bed. Considering that you spend about one-third of your life sleeping (or at least trying to sleep), it’s no wonder that the mattress market has raised the bar on such an important investment.

The one downside is that there there are so many options on the market, it can be hard to choose. To help you narrow it down, we’ve compiled a list of the best mattresses on the market for any sleep style and preference. We’ve done extensive research, digging through firsthand reviews from professionals testers and consumers. We’ve also tested (and loved) many of these mattresses ourselves.

The Best Mattress Protectors To Safeguard Your Bed

Beyond adding a few years to the life of your mattress, mattress protectors can shield your bed from the potential damage caused by sweat, spills, leaky diapers and/or pet stains. Moreover, they're also great for keeping dust mites, pet dander and other allergens in check so you can breathe more easily while you sleep. Here are our top picks that'll protect your investment.

 
Saatva Waterproof Mattress Protector (Queen)
 
 
 
Saatva Waterproof Mattress Protector (Queen)

This mattress protector is made from a combination of organic cotton that wicks away moisture and an ultra-thin polyurethane moisture barrier with micro-perforations that allow for better airflow. The result is a waterproof mattress protector that keeps you cool while you sleep.

Helix Waterproof Mattress Protector (Queen)
 
 
 
Helix Waterproof Mattress Protector (Queen)

Made from 100% polyester, Helix's mattress protector does an excellent job of keeping your bed in prime condition. In addition to its being exceptionally waterproof, this mattress protector is still breathable, making for a comfortable night's sleep. It's designed to mimic the feel of your mattress itself, so it’s soft, stretchy and noiseless, which is a huge plus for a waterproof mattress protector.

Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector
 
 
 
Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector

While mattress protectors notoriously make your bed hotter, Brooklyn Bedding’s Luxury Cooling mattress protector turns the heat down. With its proprietary TitanCool fabric, this design draws heat away from your body to keep you cool while you sleep. And while this cooling mattress protector is quite breathable, it’s still 100% waterproof.

Nestwell Pure Earth Organic Cotton Mattress Protector (Queen)
 
 
 
Nestwell Pure Earth Organic Cotton Mattress Protector (Queen)

While mattress protectors keep your bed safe from wear and tear, they can also protect you from breathing in a host of allergens while you sleep. If you find yourself sneezing, sniffling and wheezing instead of sleeping, the best mattress protector for allergies is a full encasement, like the Nestwell’s Pure Earth organic cotton mattress protector.

Editor's Pick: The Pillow Spray That Works

 
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
 
 
 
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

I thought pillow sprays were a total gimmick. That is, until I tried this one. The mixture of lavender, vetiver and chamomile scents relaxes me as soon as my head hits the pillow. I always wake up feeling more refreshed after I use it, too. —Kara Cuzzone, Deals Editor
