What Mattress Comparisons and Buying Guides Does eachnight Offer?
Updated
eachnight organizes its mattress decision content into four main buckets: type comparisons (memory foam vs. pillow top, memory foam vs. spring, hybrid vs. memory foam, gel memory foam vs. latex), size comparisons (king vs. California king, queen vs. full, full vs. twin, twin vs. twin XL), buying guides (mattress buying guide, mattress sizes, foundation sizes, bed frame sizes), and problem-solving resources (how to fix a sagging mattress, how to fix a mattress that's too soft or too firm, how to dispose of an old mattress). If you already know your sleep position or budget, the site's curated "best of" lists and its 5-question mattress quiz may get you to a shortlist faster than reading individual comparisons.
Type Comparisons: Which Construction Fits How You Sleep
These pages exist to help you decide between two specific constructions rather than browse everything. The comparison set covers:
- Memory foam vs. pillow top — relevant if you're weighing a slow-conforming foam feel against a softer, stitched-on cushion layer
- Memory foam vs. spring — the classic trade-off between contouring/pressure relief and bounce/airflow
- Hybrid vs. memory foam — for shoppers deciding whether a coil-supported foam bed is worth it over an all-foam build
- Gel memory foam vs. latex — two cooling-oriented foams with different response characteristics
eachnight also maintains standalone type guides for memory foam, hybrid, innerspring, soft, firm, eco-friendly, and fiberglass-free mattresses, so you can read the category overview first and then narrow with a head-to-head comparison.
What to check on each comparison page
Because eachnight's stated testing method evaluates support, pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and response time, those six dimensions are the useful lens for any type comparison. Ask which of them matters most for your situation — for example, motion isolation if you share a bed, cooling if you sleep hot, edge support if you sit on the side of the bed to get up.
Size Comparisons: King, Queen, Full, Twin and Their Variants
Size pages answer a different question than type pages: not "what does it feel like" but "what fits my room and my sleeping arrangement." The comparison set includes:
| Comparison | Typical deciding factor |
|---|---|
| King vs. California King | Width vs. length — room layout and your height |
| King vs. Queen | Space for two sleepers vs. room footprint |
| Queen vs. Full | Whether two adults fit comfortably |
| Full vs. Twin | Single sleeper or growing child |
| Twin vs. Twin XL | Length for taller sleepers, and bed frame compatibility |
If you're starting from scratch, the mattress sizes guide, mattress foundation sizes, and bed frame sizes pages give the underlying dimensions so you can check fit against your actual room and existing frame before committing to a size comparison.
Buying Guides and Problem-Solving Resources
Beyond comparisons, eachnight publishes:
- A mattress buying guide for the overall purchase process
- Bedding guides (best pillows, best memory foam pillows, best pillows for side sleepers) and pillow comparisons such as cotton vs. microfiber and duvet vs. comforter
- Fix-it resources: how to fix a sagging mattress, how to fix a mattress that's too soft or too firm, and how to dispose of an old mattress
The fix-it pages are worth reading before you buy if your current mattress is only partly unsatisfactory — sometimes the problem is a foundation or topper issue rather than the mattress itself.
How to Use the Site Efficiently
- Start with the quiz if you want a shortlist: eachnight's doctor-vetted mattress quiz asks 5 questions and returns an instant recommendation.
- Use a type comparison once you've narrowed to two constructions you're genuinely torn between.
- Confirm size separately using the size comparison and foundation/frame pages — size and type are independent decisions.
- Check the "best of" lists (best mattress of 2026, best memory foam, best hybrid, best for back pain, best for side sleepers) if you'd rather see named picks than read a comparison.
One note on how eachnight's recommendations are framed: the site states that Dr. Jordan Burns, DC, MS, has personally tested 43+ mattresses hands-on, and that recommendations are grounded in that firsthand testing plus expert review. The site also discloses that it may earn commissions through affiliate links and advertisements, including amerisleep advertising — useful context when weighing how a specific brand appears in rankings.
