But I’ve also stayed in some really nice places – you know, the kind that charge a mandatory $30-a-night "resort fee" on top of their exorbitant room rate – and felt as if I was sleeping on a stone slab. 

Owusu, the Reorg Research analyst, said Mattress Firm would likely emerge from bankruptcy without liquidating and without a sale. He said any potential sale would likely occur afterward.

"Anybody who’s got some differentiation and a better system is going to have a better chance of making it through, but where there’s very little differentiation, the market is too crowded to continue this way for very long. And our marketing team had done a great job of grabbing attention."

While pocket sprung mattresses may have multiple layers of spring and stuffing, they are also extremely breathable and allow a natural flow between your body and the material. As your sleep reaches its full cycle, your body’s temperature rises past normal, and this could affect the overall quality of sleep.

The demands from the bed-in-a-box market for universally appealing comfort has driven their mattress designers, and their foam suppliers to innovate. This is happening faster than the traditional market has needed. Altering construction materials and methods traditionally gives different mattress properties.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling completely rested and ready for the day ahead or do you rise after a restless night with aches, pains and a fuzzy head from too little sleep? We spend up to a third of our lives in bed and according to The Sleep Council – an independent organisation that raises awareness of a good night’s sleep and its impact on health and wellbeing – a comfortable and supportive bed is the foundation of a restorative night’s slumber.

In keeping up with the competition of the online mattress market, Amazon added an AmazonBasics mattress to their product lineup, which also includes bed frames and sheets. This memory foam mattress is a remarkably affordable offering in the sea of online mattresses currently available. The 10-inch king-size mattress comes in at just under $300.

All of the mattress toppers on this list are pretty nice, but they’re all also pretty fancy. If you’re simply looking for a layer of foam to place on top of your mattress and don’t need all the extra bells and whistles, then the Milliard 2-inch Egg Crate topper may be for you. The topper is made from a nice, ventilated memory foam, so as the name suggests it should help keep you relatively cool at night. On top of that, it’s aimed at offering great pressure relief thanks to its high-quality foam. It’s also a little cheaper than the rest of the toppers.
