‘Tis the season to be jolly…and sleep deprived, heh.
But you don’t have to be! As fall leans toward winter, the days are short, the nights are long and being inside, cuddled under the covers, is ohh, so cozy. It’s not hard to be a fan of mulled wine, leaping flames in the fireplace and going to bed early this time of year!
If your mattress isn’t a haven of heavenly bliss, however, that idea might be less delightful. Nobody wants to cuddle up in a bed that produces an aching back every morning.
For those of us who just need a good night’s sleep or who want to give the gift of rest this holiday season, we’ve picked a few of our favorite mattresses for your Christmas lists and cold-weather comfort.
We sleep on the beds we sell, so we can personally vouch for these. There’s something for everyone and every price point…
Economical (starting under $500):
- Stafford Luxury Firm and Spirit Luxury Firm by Sherwood. Two quality mattresses that won’t break the bank, these feature masterful combinations of individually pocketed coils and memory foam to provide pressure relief, support and reduced motion transfer between sleepers. (Yay for those of us whose partners flail about in their sleep!) They also include foam encasement for edge support and longevity. You can get yours in firm, luxury firm, plush and pillow top—whatever your personal preferences and sleep style require.
Mid-range (starting under $2,000):
- Harbor Luxury Firm by Dunlopillo. This mattress has a luxurious soy foam core that’s supported by eight layers of foam and natural latex wrapped in a knitted tencel stretch fabric. This layered construction gives balanced support and deep comfort while the tencel top layer controls temperature and airflow. Feels like a dream.
- Cloud Supreme by TempurPedic. The space-age technology of memory foam is a lasting favorite among mattress shoppers. This body-conforming, soft memory foam mattress relieves pressure and reduces motion transfer between sleepers (again, yay if you sleep with a tosser-turner/early riser/dream flailer!). The foam core provides support. Includes washable knit cover and Smart Climate technology wicks away moisture and draws heat away from the body for a cool, calm and collected sleeping experience.
Luxury ($3,000+):
- Super Vinyasa by PranaSleep. Bring on the calming “Omm” feel of this yogi-inspired, handcrafted delight. Handmade using latex support and comfort layers to contour to the body, plus a high-density foam quilt layer for added comfort, this mattress will make you want to live in bed! Includes a temperature-regulating quilt. Comes in luxury firm and super plush feels.
- Regal by Vi-Spring. A natural mattress handmade in heaven (well, actually in the UK) from wool, cotton and horsetail with a wool-rayon cover. A core of individually pocketed coils reduces motion transfer and provides stellar support and comfort. Natural materials coupled with vented design result in a cool, chemical-free sleeping surface. And it’s two-sided for amazing longevity. Bespoke construction with the option for different coils tension on each side to provide proper, individual support for each sleeper. This century-old English bedmaker knows how to do it right. It’s not just a name—when you sleep on this bed, you truly do feel regal.
