Best Gel Mattress for 2025, Tested by CNET’s Bed Experts
The mattresses, bedding and accessories have been tested for years – a few members have eight years ago. We appreciate that our team has wandered and slept at 350 different ranks of dozens of brands, from Bigwigs such as Serta and Tempur-Pedic to specialized players such as Sonu and Airweave.
Our bed test enjoys weights, types of body, highlands, races and sleep preferences, allowing us to provide a comprehensive evaluation of each rank of many views. Many mattresses are tested for long periods of time, ranging from one or two years to five years.
The CNET’s Sleep Team is constantly taking the mattresses to the home for long -term reviews, such as the ranking chain for 30 nights as a couple.
We test gel mattress as we will do any other bed, with a more strict temperature focus. When a new rank reaches our test facility, it is subject to a strategic set of practical tests. We analyze properties such as beams, feeling, regulating temperature, movement isolation, edge support and other unique features that may have the rank.
Firmness
In the mattress industry, numerical packages are classified on a scale of 1 (softening) to 10 (strongly). We also use direct terms such as “Soft” or “Medium Form” to describe them. Our team takes turns to evaluate and classify each bed, allowing us to make strong recommendations about any sleeping position and the type of body is the best claim. After self -analysis, we allowed Smasher unique mattresses to do its work and provide us with the degree of objective packages.
Feel
We also personally review the feeling of each rank, which is separate from the packages. Does the bed feel men and respond? Is it easy to switch places? Or is it corresponding to and determining about our curves and carrying our shape for a period of time? Do you have a soft, luxurious, luxurious tables, or are it more neutral? Can we feel any dedicated coils or support? We are doing our best to describe exactly what you feel to lie on each bed to help you determine whether it is appropriate for you because we know that you cannot all test it yourself.
Examine memory foam layers from Ultra. You can see the foam bearing your shape and it is slow to respond.
Temperature
Given that the body of every different person – and that many of the brands of the ranks exaggerate the capabilities of cooling her family – it may be difficult to determine the issue of beds or cooling the bed. For the largest part, the mattresses will sleep more temperature more than actual cooling. Few family is suitable for the bill for what our team thinks about actual cooling-even those who have jelly coated foams.
When testing mattresses, we are detailing the best in our ability to heat or cool. Many external factors play here (such as climate, environment, sheets, pajamas, etc.), so we test the family in the temperature -controlled rooms without leaves or bed. Using our extensive knowledge and experience, we analyze its construction and material and explain how it affects the temperature. We are also able to provide a deeper analysis to regulate the temperature in our long -term reviews.
Mobility
The bed of the bed is insulated by the extent of his death or the absorption of movement across the surface. This is a particularly important feature for light sleep or those who share the bed with a partner, children or pets. We test the movement’s isolation with one person who is still on the bed while another floundering and switching situations. Is the person still lying wandering with them, or is the movement hidden? The second method is by setting a cup of water on the edge and wrapped it towards it and away from it to see if the nickname or glass is falling.
One way to test the movement isolation is with a cup of water.
Edge support
Edge is another important feature for those who share the bed. Edge support test means that we evaluate how the rank maintains its structure and support around the ocean. We sit and lie on the edge to see how the bed responds. Is it a cave and gives the feeling that we will start, or does he feel strong? We also press the edges with our fists to monitor the amount of edge pressure under pressure.
Special features
Some brands include unique features in a specific family, such as hot sleeping covers or support for those with back pain. We test and review these additional characteristics to determine whether the claims are up to the level of noise and the type of sleeper that will benefit from it more.
