How do we score mattress performance?
To give the performance a numerical score, we assess each mattress on a testing scale that considers 8 important factors. These testing factors include:
- Cooling
- Motion Transfer
- Response Time
- Edge Support
- Sex
- Pressure Relief
- Off-Gassing
- Company
Our NapLab performance tests consider all of these factors. Each of these factors is given a numerical score, based on a mix of objective and subjective data.
Based on your personal needs, it’s possible you could draw a different conclusion so be sure to check out the data below to compare.
