Welcome to the Test Lab
Welcome to the one place in America where you won’t get in trouble for sleeping on the job. This is the Test Lab. Since 2016, we’ve tested more than 4,000 products, including 345 sets of sheets, 231 bed toppers, 542 pillows, and 1,934 mattresses. Behind the lab's doors, our experts deploy the latest in sleep-technologies to measure everything from heat retention to motion isolation. We won’t just tell you if the mattress you’ve been eyeing is comfortable; we’ll show you how the layers conform to your body based on pressure mapping, or demonstrate how freely motion travels through the different layers of the bed, and whether your sleep will be disturbed when your partner gets up at night. Our team also leans heavily on qualitative feedback from sleepers like you about the real-world concerns that keep you up at night. Our goal at the Test Lab is to take the guesswork out of the way you sleep, so you can rest assured that you’ll start every day as your best-slept self.
