Best place to buy a mattress for couples

Gone are the days where you had to walk into a store and work your way through a room filled with mattresses from front to back, laying on beds one by one. You also don’t have to haul a mattress on the back of your truck to transport it home from the store or pay the store you bought it from to deliver it for you.

Purple is a huge name in the bed-in-a-box industry, as the brand makes mattresses that the industry had never seen before Purple came along. Its secret sauce is the Purple GelFlex Grid, which is a slab of a gel-like material that’s soft, squishy and supportive at the same time — kind of like a Dr. Scholl’s insole. 

The brand has a wide catalog of Purple mattresses to pick from, including a list of hybrid beds. The Purple Restore mattresses come in different firmness levels and offer a similar feel to the original Purple, just with stronger constructions. The Rejuvenate line from Purple includes thick, premium pillow-top mattresses with the brand’s signature feel. 

Organic mattresses have an appeal because they are made with sustainably sourced, natural materials, which makes them hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and much less likely to off-gas. One of the best of the best is the Avocado Green mattress, backed by a host of different certifications verifying its “green” stamp. 

The flagship Avocado Green mattress is a hybrid latex foam mattress with a firm profile, best for back and stomach sleepers. However, I’d recommend getting the pillow top. The brand also just added a plush option, making it available for a wider range of sleeping positions, including side sleepers.

If you didn’t know, Walmart has its own brand of mattresses, and they are on brand with its price-friendly guarantee. The original Allswell mattress is one of the cheapest hybrid beds on the market, but it’s actually pretty nice.

I recommend it to anyone looking to spend less than $500 on a new bed. You can also get the Allswell Luxe mattress or Allswell Cool, both of which are good mattresses at incredibly low prices. The average mattress-in-a-box costs around $800 to $1,000, and that’s just for a foam bed. The Allswell mattresses have hybrid (foam and coils) constructions that accommodate all body types.  

The name Big Fig stands for “bigger figures,” and the brand designs mattresses to address the needs of heavier sleepers; extra support and long-lasting comfort. The Big Fig mattress is 13 inches thick, durable and has a firm, supportive profile. For sleepers around the 230-pound range, it should feel around a medium-firm, and a medium for those around 300 pounds or more. One of the reasons why it’s so durable is its amount of extra supportive coils, as the Big Fig boasts 1,600 of them. It’s also stacked with multiple foam layers for increased comfort.
