An expensive mattress isn't always best — meet the cheap memory foam bed that outperformed many luxury rivals in our testing

We've reviewed the best cheap mattresses of the year so you can get a bed that supports you without breaking the bed.

We test mattresses of all different types, but there are two mattress designs we test the most: all-foam (made entirely of memory foam) and hybrid (a mattress that uses both springs and memory foam).

As both designs have their respective benefits, it really isn't surprising that this year's best mattress guide is crammed with both memory foam and hybrid beds. That said, the two popular designs enjoy different reputations, with the best memory foam mattresses being known for their simple, budget-friendly builds and hybrids enjoying a more luxurious best-in-class reputation.

Recently, our testing panel decided to re-test five of the top-rated mattresses we've ever tested.
