I'm Upgrading My Mattress in 2027 – 5 Highly-Rated Options I'm Considering

Earlier this year, I moved from New York City to Los Angeles. When it came to furnishing my studio apartment, I was more focused on dressy décor and an elegant statement comforter. And much to the dismay of my fellow editors, I bought the first mattress-in-a-box that I found, thinking it would suffice. However, after speaking with editors and experts, I realized the significance of this often-overlooked item. 'A mattress is arguably the most important purchase you can make for your home,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens. 'It's an investment not only in quality sleep, but in your overall health and sense of wellbeing.'

'The right mattress promotes better sleep, with the numerous benefits to physical and mental health that sound, restorative rest brings,' writes contributing editor Sarah Warwick in her mattress shopping guide, adding that firmness, type, size, and cost are all factors to consider when shopping for a mattress. I figured the new year would be the perfect time to upgrade mine, and after doing some research, I whittled it down to the following options from Serta. With models ranging from standard coil mattresses to cooling gel memory foam mattresses, and even luxurious hybrids, they have every type you could dream of.
