About Claire
Claire writes our mattress guides. She compares memory foam, hybrid, latex and innerspring beds on the things that decide whether you'll keep one: firmness, how well it sleeps hot, edge support and how it works for side, back and stomach sleepers.
She also checks the part most shoppers skip: the sleep trial, the return process and what the warranty actually covers.
How Claire researches
- Compares manufacturer spec sheets for layers, thickness and firmness
- Reads trial-period, return and warranty terms on each brand's own page
- Cites independent sleep and mattress-testing sources instead of marketing claims
- Reads owner reviews for problems that show up after a few months, like sagging and heat
- Makes no medical claims; back-pain advice is framed as what owners report
