Take the New Mattress Rest Test

Shopping for a new mattress shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz—your quality of sleep is way too important to go in unprepared! So study up before you step into the store and take a closer look at your sleep habits and comfort preferences with this quick and easy rest test.
Which sounds most comfortable to you?
A. The grass in the park—firm but with a bit of padding to keep me comfy
You’d probably be most comfortable on a firm mattress. It features a limited number of comfort layers with a tightly sewn cover for firmness, so it provides outstanding support. And while no one type of mattress is perfect for any one type of sleep position, firm mattresses are often preferred by back and stomach sleepers.
B. A blanket on the beach—mostly firm but with more cushioning
Betting on B? Then a plush mattress may suit your sleep style. It’s made with multiple layers of cushioning with a more loosely sewn cover for better conformity. And because it’s right in the middle of the comfort scale, a plush mattress is a great option if you and your sleep partner have different comfort preferences.
C. A bed of feathers—light and airy but with a little substance to cushion my body
Choosing C says you might prefer a pillowtop mattress. It provides more cushioning than a firm or plush mattress for that “bed of feathers” feel. Plus, its conforming design helps alleviate those pressure points that keep you up all night tossing and turning. And because side sleepers often feel pressure in their shoulders and knees, many of them swear by pillowtop mattresses.
D. A weightless cloud—sink-in sensation with perfect body conformity
Deciding on D means a memory foam mattress may be right for you. This mattress offers a sink-in sensation and outstanding conformity while eliminating pressure points and motion disturbance, making you feel like you’re sleeping on a weightless cloud.
