Where to Buy the Best Mattress

May 24, 2018
 
“With an influx of new online mattress companies, side sleepers, back sleepers, and everyone in between can find or even personalize the perfect mattress.”

There are many types of sleepers: side sleepers, on the stomachs, or on their backs. Not all mattresses, however, cater to any specific type of sleeper. As we all know, a good night's sleep is important for staying healthy and sane. To help with that, the many mattress companies out there have provided varying selections specific for whatever kind of sleeper you are. The women of passerby have recommended some of their favorites below, whether it comes to hassle free delivery, sustainable practices, or whatever is important to you. There is bound to be the right mattress out there, and if not, there are more customizable ones to ensure the perfect fit.

Helix

Recommended by Hallie Gould & Verena Michelitsch 

A mattress that is custom built for your sleeping habits is how Helix differentiates itself, and by selling at a price starting at $700. Customers take a sleep quiz online that will formulate a mattress design specific to the quiz results. The personalized mattress will then be shipped to your doorstep in a box.

Keetsa

Recommended by Olivia La Roche

Keetsa uses sustainable materials as part of its mission to be environmentally conscious. NYC passerby and entrepreneur, Olivia La Roche, says, "Keetsa hands down. Bio latex and organic cotton. There is a wide selection of mattress fits too. They come compressed in a box for easy delivery like Casper and Tuft & Needle, but they don't contain toxic materials."
