Custom firmness
100 nights
Custom comfort and firmness available with a touch of a button
Every Sleep Number bed is fully adjustable air bed. But not your mom’s camping air mattress quality. These high-quality, high-tech air beds come with a remote so you can adjust the amount of air in the air chamber, and therefore, adjust the firmness and comfort level of the bed at the touch of a button. In this way, they advertise that every person has their own unique “Sleep Number.” As if the high customizability wasn’t enough, the C2 360 Smart Bed also has a comfort layer of infused cooling gel so you’re not only supported, but you stay cool all night. In addition, all Sleep Number beds are adjustable on both sides so if you and your partner differ in preferences, you can each have your own unique setting.

The Cedar by Brentwood is a hybrid featuring Dunlop latex and natural materials such as coconut, cotton, wool, and flaxseed. While offering a generally soft feel, it also has a zoned pocketed coil system that provides pressure relief to the spine and lower back.
Medium: 6/10
365 nights
The Brentwood Home Cedar Natural Luxe is a latex hybrid mattress. It is constructed with comfort layers of organic New Zealand wool, an organic cotton cover, and a support core built with pocketed coils reinforced by a layer of coconut husks. It is a medium-firm mattress perfect ideal for back and side sleepers. The Cedar Natural Luxe mattress is the perfect example of eco-conscious green mattress design, using only the best natural and organically certified materials while simultaneously offering premium 5 zone innerspring support.
We love this bed for two reasons, and both are due to its construction. The Cedar’s second layer of Dunlop latex has grooved, sculpted edges in three zones for your shoulders, back, and legs, giving the mattress a plush feel when compared with other latex options.
These same grooves have a second benefit in that they allow for added airflow and breathability throughout the night. The 8-inch coils also aid in the mattress’ cooling properties. If you find most latex mattresses a little too firm or if you sleep hot, we think this would be the option for you.
Brentwood Home mattresses come with free shipping and returns, a 365-night sleep trial, and a 25 year warranty.
Look, we get it. Picking out a mattress when there are a ton of options vying for your attention (and your money) is tough. Particularly when you are making a significant investment, as is the case if you’re looking for a luxury mattress. If you’re still on the fence, here are some of the incredible benefits of choosing one of our luxury recommendations.
The first and most obvious benefit is better sleep. If you choose a quality mattress built with premium materials custom-tailored to your needs, you’ll be more relaxed, comforted and pain-free. Therefore, sleeping throughout the night with fewer disturbances and more dreams.
This benefit has two parts. First, for those of you sleeping on an old, outdated mattress, it’s very likely you’ve exacerbated existing musculoskeletal ailments or even created new ones because of the mattress. Investing in a quality mattress will eventually reverse these issues and leave you feeling less achy and sore throughout the day.
Second, for those of you whose pain comes from a proven medical condition and has nothing to do with the mattress, you can be sure that your mattress is absolutely still an important component to your health. We all need to recover at night. That’s what sleep is for! If you have medical conditions, it’s all the more reason to get proper recovery at night. We can’t promise your mattress will be the end-all solution to your pain, but it will certainly help you get the rest you need to combat it and help you avoid making it worse!
Think of your mattress as the performance tool needed to get your best night’s sleep. As humans, we all need to get proper rest so our body can process memories and emotions, repair cells and tissues, and get the recovery it needs. If you’re not sleeping well, waking frequently, or hurting while you sleep, you can bet you will start to see a decline in your overall health and immunity. Our sleep is positively critical to our health, and frankly, a quality mattress that will improve your sleep is the best investment you can make toward your health.
A premium mattress made with quality materials will be far more durable than a cheaply made product. In addition, the support qualities of the bed will remain effective much longer than that of a cheaper counterpart.
One of the strongest selling points of a luxury mattress are the customizations. With the touch of a button, you can adjust the position of a bed with an adjustable base, change the firmness setting and even the temperature in some models.
With most luxury mattresses, harmful toxins like VOC emissions and toxic flame retardants are not an issue. These manufacturers have spent the extra capital on quality materials and made the effort to receive organic and environmentally safe certifications.
One of the best ways to test out a mattresses claims is to look at the warranty and sleep trial period. These companies aren’t afraid to put their money where their mouth is because they know it’s very unlikely that you’ll be returning the mattress or needing a replacement. As the dollar amount you spend increases, so does the service offered to you. Most of these companies will deliver, set up and remove your old mattress for free.
In general, 100% organic latex beds and hybrid mattresses are most likely to have the highest quality and price tag. However, there are luxury innerspring and memory foam mattresses on the market; however, they tend to be more cost-effective.
A hybrid mattress combines elements of a traditional innerspring mattress and memory foam to create a mattress that is both comfortable and supportive. These are your “best of both worlds” mattresses. Often hybrids are great options for stomach sleepers who need proper support to keep the spine aligned but find that innerspring mattresses are too firm. They also have better edge support than memory foam mattresses.
In recent years, mattress manufacturers have developed natural latex-based foams. Latex mattresses provide the contour of memory foam without causing a “sinking” feeling. They tend to have better edge support than traditional memory foam and are often buoyant. Latex is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, circulating air better than most traditional foams. One-hundred percent of organic latex mattresses also are made with essentially now VOCs, flame retardants and other harsh chemicals.
Modern memory foam mattresses combine multiple types of foam to create the same comfort and support feel that you would get from a hybrid without having to incorporate springs. Often you will find softer, plusher foams in the top layer that contain gel infusions to relieve pressure points and cradle the body while further in you will find high-density, firmer foams to create the stability needed to help to align the spine.
Innerspring mattresses have been around the longest and are made with metal springs or coils. They can come tied together or be wrapped individually. They provide good stability and support and offer the most durable fabric, by far, but they tend to be a bit uncomfortable. This is why we have seen such a rise in the popularity of hybrid mattresses which offer both the comfort layer and the support core.
While we think it’s one of the most important investments you can make for yourself, the end decision is yours. If the price points listed above are out of the question for you, there are many other high-quality mattresses at lower price points that we have reviewed. Check them out.
Often times, luxury beds come with additional premium features you may not be used to such as an adjustable base and firmness setting. It may take some time to familiarize yourself with these options and find your happy place. Once you get the hang of it though, we know you’re going to love the benefits!
We hope you’ve found this article informative. By now you should be well on your way to selecting a luxury mattress that best fits your needs. Furthermore, you now know the benefits of a high-end mattress as well as the types of high-end mattresses available and the considerations to make before you buy one. Whether you need a luxury mattress for the customizability, to combat chronic sleep or medical conditions, or you just have the budget and want the best there is, we hope we’ve brought you closer to making a well-informed decision and that you’re on your way to a great night’s sleep.
