62 mattresses tested, this is the best: 'You can adjust the firmness yourself'
Your day only truly starts when you wake up feeling refreshed. The Consumers' Association tests mattresses for different types of sleepers. Which one is best and which offers the best value?
In stores and online, you'll easily find hundreds of mattresses, from affordable to expensive. It's understandable that with so many options, you might be unsure which one to choose. So, what makes a good mattress?
The Consumers' Association measures and rates mattresses based on factors such as body support and moisture management. They also consider which mattresses have a long lifespan.
A total of 62 mattresses were tested. A Matt Sleeps mattress was rated Best in Test, and a Beter Bed mattress was rated Best Buy.
The Matt Sleeps mattress is a good choice if you like to sleep on your side or back. If you sleep on your stomach, the mattress offers less support, but still sufficient.
The big advantage of this mattress is that you can adjust the firmness yourself. This Matt mattress has six different foam layers that you can stack to suit your needs. This ensures a comfortable fit every time.
You can also try this mattress at home for 120 days. If it's not right for you, we'll pick it up for you. This is a free service.
If sustainability is important to you, this mattress is a good fit. It scores a solid pass mark on this point. The mattress's production is environmentally friendly, and it's also easily recyclable.
The downside of this mattress is that you can't turn it over. So you can only sleep on one side.
This mattress from Beter Bed is also perfect if you're a back or side sleeper. Do you prefer to sleep on your stomach? Then this mattress isn't the best choice. It only receives a passing grade.
The biggest advantage of this mattress is its price. This Beter Bed mattress is one of the least expensive in our test.
In terms of sustainability, this mattress scores highly. The materials used have a low environmental impact, and the mattress is easy to recycle because it's simple to disassemble. This allows the layers to be reused.
But this mattress also has some drawbacks. If you sweat a lot in bed, this mattress isn't ideal for you. It doesn't allow moisture to escape effectively. You can't turn the mattress either. Furthermore, the trial period is less favorable. You can't return the mattress; you
can only exchange it. That costs €90.
