First Hand Experience: Tried Tested

We only recommend mattresses we’ve actually tried and tested ourselves. Each one is personally experienced — from the unboxing stage to several weeks of daily sleep — so we can share how it truly feels in real life. Our testing covers everything that matters for comfort and support. We check how firm or soft it feels, how well it supports the spine, whether it traps heat, and how it performs for back, side, and stomach sleepers. We also look at edge support, motion isolation, and how it holds up over time. Nothing here is based on guesswork. We sleep on every mattress long enough to understand its comfort level and durability. If a mattress doesn’t meet our standards for quality or support, we don’t include it. Each review comes from real, hands-on experience — not just research or specs. That’s why when we say a mattress is worth buying, it’s because we’ve actually slept on it and felt the difference ourselves.
