Top 10 Mattresses of 2026 for the Best Quality
Top-tier mattress ranking
Created using technical criteria chosen based on our direct experience with the mattresses in the ranking*
Among the many mattresses on the market, some are truly excellent and deserve our award, rightfully entering the Top 10 mattresses of 2026 selected based on our experience along with feedback from thousands of customers*. Several reconfirmations and a few new entries compared to 2025.
Miglior Materasso has been in the top e-commerce sites in the sector for three consecutive years (source Corriere della Sera "Stelle dell'e-commerce", and among those selected by La Repubblica "Migliori siti e-commerce italiani"), thanks to its expertise and experience, collaborating with TV and radio to inform consumers on how to choose a mattress, putting its experience at the service of good rest.
*Miglior Materasso Srl does not receive compensation from third-party companies for the mention of products in this selection. This selection is based on our decades of experience in the sleep sector, gained primarily in physical stores, through direct contact with you, product tests, and feedback collected over time after purchase, evaluation of any return reasons, and other personal considerations. Therefore, this is an internal evaluation, based on our experience, and not a universal ranking. The models on this page are selected from those offered on migliormaterasso.it, with the aim of offering different solutions for comfort, support, materials, and price range. The mentioned mattresses can also be purchased from other retailers, with the exception of Gabrielli Bedding, a brand linked to the website's ownership, whose products are distributed exclusively through our channels.
What makes a good mattress
There are essential characteristics that the right mattress must have, and these are:
- Pressure point relief - the suitable mattress must ensure a floating sensation, meaning it must be supportive but without making it feel that way, without compressing, thus eliminating pressure points. This is achieved in the best mattresses, which combine support and comfort for a regenerating rest;
- Recommended height 28 cm - why is the recommended height 28 cm, minimum 25 cm? A significant height ensures that the structure is articulated on multiple levels, with different layers of materials for calibrated support, to achieve combined support and maximum comfort, such as differentiated layers of new generation springs and memory foam;
- Medium-high quality - a mattress designed to provide the benefits described above is necessarily high-end; the cost of a double mattress will be higher than most online advertised mattresses, which are designed for marketing purposes, without considering those who aspire to quality rest. An excellent double mattress, net of any discounts, will cost from 1500 euros, and can even exceed 2000 euros.
10 Top Mattresses
Given the significant differences between the various mattress models on the market, which make prices vary widely and also make selection more difficult, we have categorized the 10 mattresses into two categories by price range. The first, in the first table, are the top mattresses regardless of cost; in the second, the ranking of double mattresses below an entry-level price range, not exceeding one thousand euros.
MATTRESS |
WHY CHOOSE IT | |
|---|---|---|
King 800 Superior |
King 800 independent springs and memory foam is the first in the Top 10. It comes in different versions, the most chosen being King Sanitized, with a price under 1500 euros for the double. However, the top of the range is King Superior, 30 cm high thanks to the Soft Touch pad. | |
Gransasso |
It is the top-of-the-range mattress for those who love firmer, but above all more linear support, which does not contour like memory foam mattresses. | |
Fresh Air Tech |
Three-layer memory foam, the first in its category, supported at the base and conforming on top, always cool thanks to Breeze on the surface. | |
Tempur Pro Plus SmartCool |
If until now you haven't considered the Tempur mattress due to concerns about excessive heat, with the SmartCool model you can finally consider it for your final choice. | |
Granparadiso Fresh Memory Mattress |
Similar to the Air Tech model, also with Breeze memory and the addition of the Soft Touch pad, total height 27 cm. | |
5 mattresses under 1000 euros
If you're thinking of a budget under a thousand euros, or at least not over, the top 10 mattresses of 2026 come to your aid with a list, from the firmest spring mattress to the softest latex one:
MATTRESS |
Why choose it | |
|---|---|---|
Ergonomic |
An independent spring and memory foam mattress under a thousand euros? Ergonomic certainly doesn't have the comfort of King or Excellence, but it guarantees the same support. Many prefer the firm feel of Ergonomic rather than the comfort of other higher-end and higher-priced mattresses. | |
Sanitary |
The most economical mattress in the Top 10, the Traditional Spring Sanitario delivers on its promise: cool, firm, and affordable. Too firm? Add a topper! | |
Bamboo |
Memory Gel Bamboo is an atypical memory foam mattress, because it is very supportive, especially on the gel side. If you're not a fan of memory foam, this one might win you over. | |
Sweet 18 |
The softest mattress among the 2025 ranking mattresses, Sweet is the 100% latex answer to Natura latex (which is instead 100% natural latex and twice the price). | |
Nuvola |
The most popular choice for children and teenagers, a mattress with multiple certifications, | |
