interesting facts from mattresses & sleep
The mattress business splits along clear lines. Tempurpedic owns the premium memory foam space. Casper built a brand on direct-to-consumer sales and simplicity. Helix targets sleepers who want customization. Purple pushes gel technology as different from foam. Saatva sells springs and heritage. Each brand knows who it is and who it isn't.
A buyer should match the brand to the body. Side sleepers want different support than back sleepers. Budget matters. So does the question of whether you want to test a mattress at home or lie on it in a store first. The brands here each answer these questions differently, and that's why they still exist.
That’s the brand rail for this department. For the individual products, switch to the product view.
