The 3 Best Olympic Queen Mattresses To Maximize Sleep Space In Smaller Bedrooms

This top-selling mattress is a combination of individually encased ascension coils and CertiPUR-US Certified memory foam (meaning it meets standards for low to no traces of mercury, lead, or other heavy metals). The foam is also low in volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions and made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP, or TCEP ("Tris") flame retardants.

The plush, quilted top prevents body impressions from forming, which gives your mattress a longer shelf life. The material is breathable and cooling, with minimal motion transfer between sleep partners. Some reviews note that the mattress is a bit too firm, but you can choose between three levels (soft, medium, and firm) to find one that's right for you. The "soft" design is also one of our picks for the best hybrid mattresses for side sleepers.

It arrives in a box, and the company states that there should be no off-gassing smells.

What customers say:

With 4.6 out of 5 stars overall and almost 10,000 reviews on the company's website, customers say this is a solid mattress choice for all sleeping styles and body types. One writes, "I have to admit I was a little skeptical about a mattress that comes in a box. Wow, I was surprised at how easy it was to set up. This is the most comfortable mattress I have ever owned!"

This Firm Luxe mattress is one of the firmest options on the market. It's made from individually cased coils for maximum motion isolation, and two layers of extra-firm support foam. While this level of firmness is great for back sleepers, it's not an option we'd recommend for people who sleep on their sides. 

What's really great about this flippable mattress is that each of the sides offers a different level of firmness. This is helpful if you want to test out multiple firmness options but don't want to have to order multiple mattresses. Being flippable, this mattress also has a longer lifespan, as long as you rotate it regularly to prolong wear and tear.

Shipping is free and the mattress arrives rolled up in a box and will expand once opened.

Although the materials are not sustainable or organic, all products are handcrafted in the U.S., and since 2020, the company has even used a portion of its factory to produce masks for essential workers.

What customers say:

After receiving more than 800 reviews on the Plank website, this mattress has earned an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars. Many reviewers report that this mattress has improved their sleep and alleviated their back pain. One reviewer says, "Sleeping on this bed feels like a healing balm for my body," and "it is the best thing my back has felt in a long time." A few people note that they wish the ultra-firm and firm sides were marked.

This mattress has a removable, washable cover made from natural Merino wool. Underneath, it has 3 inches of CertiPUR-US certified foam that's temperature regulated and contouring. The mattress also features 80 air zones, designed to help evenly distribute pressure and alleviate back pain.

Perhaps the best feature is the firmness control dial on each side of the bed. Each sleeper can choose between 50 firmness options, to adjust to their liking.

The brand delivers its mattresses compressed and rolled up in a box. For an additional $499, you can get white glove delivery service to help you set it up. Because this bed is made with natural and organic materials, it won't emit any smells upon expansion.

What customers say:

With 234 reviews and a 4.6 out of 5-star rating, many sleepers with back and neck pain rave about the pressure-relieving support and how soft the wool feels on their skin. One person writes, "We both have neck and back problems and since we got our new bed I don't wake up in pain anymore."

On the downside, some reviewers found the customer service to be unreachable to solve their mattress malfunctions.
