r/Mattress on Reddit: Best mattress at Costco for back pain? Tempur-Pedic firm mattress started sagging after 6 months
May 7, 2025 -

I bought a Tempur-Pedic firm mattress (from Costco) around 6 months ago, but it's already started sinking and causing significant lower back pain. I was expecting it to hold up better, especially at this price point.

I’m now looking for a better, firmer mattress option from Costco that provides good support and won’t sag quickly. I prefer something that stays flat and helps with alignment—memory foam, hybrid, or innerspring are all okay if they work.

Anyone with back issues have long-term success with a Costco mattress? Would love suggestions!

What is the best mattress at Costco?
When it comes to value, the Cocoon by Sealy delivers the highest rating for the money. If budget isn't a concern, Tempur-Pedic offers highly rated memory foam mattresses. However, both of these options may pay to buy direct from the brand for added discounts and perks.

November 15, 2024 -

Been mattress shopping for a few weeks now and its brutal. One person gives a mattress 5 stars, best sleep ever, and the next person says its garbage and the worst mattress they've ever tried.

So rather than risk it with a super-expensive mattress, I'm going to go the Costco route. Looks like there are a lot of options from Leesa to Casper to Simply Modern to whatever else.

Out of all the options at costco, I'm wondering what the best choice is? Let's say $1600 or less...

I'm leaning toward the Leesa Legend Hybrid or Casper. Would loooove some help here! I'm so nervous about making the wrong call!

I’ve been cycling through quite a few mattresses from Costco. I’m 5’8” 160 pounds with back/neck pain and insomnia worsened by Lyme disease. I sleep on my back. My wife is 5’6” 130 pounds and a side sleeper. She can sleep anywhere. I’ve been having quite a bit of trouble with my sleep. For all of the beds, I broke them in over the first few weeks and rotated them regularly. The mt auburn was too firm for me and generally didn’t feel all that great. It was a decent mattress overall but wasn’t it for me. Like most mattresses without a softer pressure relieving layer, it caused hip stiffness and pain. Sealy posturepedic ridge crest was a step up. The euro top added a decent layer of comfort, but the bed started hammocking within a few months and became uncomfortable to me as I really like an even surface. My wife liked this bed though. We briefly tried the 12” sleep science Sonoma flippable mattress but I couldn’t last more than an hour on it. It felt cheap and unsupportive. The novaform serafina is a decent feeling but firm mattress that I occasionally sleep on at my parents house. Well constructed but I find it to not have enough pressure relief (though maybe it’s not well broken in). The Sleep science 13” Napa is my favorite of them all, but it only comes in a split king and I already have an adjustable base. The memory foam comfort layer is thin but relieves pressure, and the latex layer under that does a great job of easing you into the denser foam beneath. I’ve only slept on it once and it felt great, but when I demo it or lay on it, it feels amazing. Kirkland Stearns and Foster. I had this for the longest, about a year. I wanted to keep this mattress forever but there were a few flaws that ended up disrupting my sleep. The quality of construction and materials feels great. While it came firm, it broke in nicely and was a premium feeling mattress. I ended up adding a 1.5” inch cooling memory foam topper to add just a bit of pressure relief and it felt perfect for a while. After about 9 months, the body indents were starting to make my shoulders shrug upward. The kings ridge pressed on my side as well. And the edge support is too wide, as those springs wear differently than the main support coils. All of these things together caused the usable sleep area to be quite small on the king mattress and it stopped being supportive/comfortable to me. If this stayed how it felt I’d have kept it. Tempur pedic flex prima hybrid. This is the bed I’m currently on, it’s been about 2 weeks, so I don’t have a full review of it, but it’s been decent. I like how uniform the surface feels. It’s quite firm right now, but I’m expecting it to break in a little bit. If it’s a 7.5 firm right now, I think the bed will be great at a 6 or 6.5. It provides great support, but just a bit more pressure relief would go a long way. I might try a 2 inch Tempur pedic topper on it to see if it gives it that softness without losing too much underlying support. Overall, I do think many people (my wife being one of them) would have been happy with many or most of the mattresses I’ve tried. Costco’s return policy is keeping me sane while trying to figure out how to deal with my aches and pains. I’m realizing I should probably turn this into a post haha

Novaform comfort grande 14" is pretty legit for the price. Had over a year and no complaints.

Limiting my search to Costco because I’m in a big city and the pain of heading over to various mattress stores and the woes of delivery are too much. We are 7 years into a nectar mattress and I wake up daily with my lower back soooooo stiff and im hoping it’s just my mattress and not that I’m elderly at age 35. I’m a stomach sleeper and weigh between 120-125 lbs and my partner is ‘ 190 and a back and stomach sleeper. I think? I like firmer mattresses with plushier pillow tops but honestly who knows. Sometimes pure memory foam beds feel too squishy and like I’m sleeping in a giant dog bed. I’m looking at the Novaforms but very open to ideas!

My spine thanks you in advance

r/SleepZone on Reddit: Best Mattress at Costco for Back & Hip Pain – Need Recommendations!
April 8, 2024 -

I’m on the hunt for a new mattress and could really use some advice—especially from those who have experience with Costco’s mattress selection.

Here’s our situation:

  • I weigh about 130 lbs, and my husband is around 250 lbs.

  • He has three slipped discs in his back, and I’ve been dealing with lower back and hip pain from constantly carrying our newborn.

  • We both prefer a firmer mattress, but primarily for support rather than just firmness for the sake of it.

  • Budget: Ideally around $750, but I can stretch up to $1,000 max if it’s truly worth it.

  • Size Preference: Would love a king, but we currently have a queen, so we could stick with that if needed.

  • I know Tempur-Pedic is highly recommended and lasts a long time, but spending nearly $2,000 isn’t feasible right now.

  • My biggest concern is hip support—I need something that won’t leave me waking up in pain.

I’d love to hear real experiences with Costco mattresses—the good, the bad, and everything in between. Are there any models that worked well for back and hip pain? Any that we should avoid?

r/Mattress on Reddit: Any suggestions on what Costco mattress to pick? Nova foam, sleep science, beauty rest?
April 15, 2023 -

I have chronic lower back pain waking up on a firm Sealy Posturepedic mattress. I also tried a casper once upon a time that didn’t work. It really turned me off to foam mattresses at the time. I think I need a medium firm mattress.

Anyway, I need a change. I have tried toppers, and various other beds.

There are a few on sale at Costco:

Beautyrest 14.5" Silver Hybrid DualCool Plush Mattress

Sleep Science 14" Copper Infused Firm Memory Foam Mattress (firm)

Novaform 14" Serafina Pearl Gel Memory Foam Mattress (plush, medium, and firm)

Also not on sale but there is sterns and foster medium mattress available.

Anyone try these models or brands before?

Thanks!!!!

It looks like the $1,800 Tempur-Pedic and $1,400 Avocado are highly rated as top-tier options in this sub—can anyone confirm? I’m thinking about going all-in on the best since I’m returning my Sealy Carver Firm after a few years of sagging and back pain.

Update: Ordered the Novaform Legacy Premier since it seems firmer than the Leesa Legend. From what I’ve gathered, the Avocado is the better choice if I want something less firm compared to the Leesa Legend. Novaform was on sale, while Avocado wasn’t, so I figured I’d try Novaform for now. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll wait for Avocado to go on sale and return/exchange.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm a side sleeper and do not wake up with back pain. Very happy with this mattress. A great feature is my wife does not feel me toss and turn / or get in and out. She is a light sleeper and slight movements wake her. On another note, COSTCO and Innocor are great to work with.

Have any of you found a mattress that actually helped with back pain? I’m looking for something that offers good support, keeps my spine aligned, and doesn’t cost a fortune.

I’ve seen brands like:

  • Tempur-Pedic

  • Saatva

  • Casper

  • Purple

Has anyone bought a Costco mattress they are really happy with and had held up well over time?

November 15, 2022 -

Typically a back and side sleeper, 210 lb male, 6'1". wondering if a hybrid mattress would be a bit more supportive for me.

I've been using the Costco Casper select foam mattress for about 2 years now, It has always felt a bit soft to me. Lately i've been waking up with serous low back pain that tends to go away throughout the day. Starting to think the mattress is apart of my back problems, I have even felt myself tweak it while rolling around at night.

It does feel like I sink in quite a bit to my current mattress, especially around my midsection. Thinking of looking for a new mattress. Will a hybrid mattress offer more support for me versus the foam base of a memory foam mattress?

I also have around 4" spacing on my platform frame. Wondering if this is too much space for a foam mattress, and/or if some kind of bunkie board would help me out.

Costco mattresses suck for people with back issues. They’re low quality garbage that work for people who can sleep on concrete. Go to a Saatva showroom and try the Rx. It has saved my back! 3 months no back pain. I suffered for years with 4 diff Costco mattresses and finally gave up

It definitely seems like your mattress could be the reason. You're right; your mattress isn't firm enough, it's causing misalignment in your midsection and leading to back pain.

Casper mattresses, especially the Wave Hybrid, are great for side sleepers. However, it looks like you might be too heavy for them. This mattress might be too plush, it'll to inadequate support and more back pain. So, avoid that hybrid!

Hybrids offer a better balance of comfort and support so they should help keep your spine aligned and prevent you from sinking too deep around your midsection.

BTW, that 4-inch gap might be too wide for a foam (or a hybrid) mattress. The mattress' foundation is very important, so some of your back pain might also be due to your bed frame. It can cause uneven support and lead to sagging over time.

100% a bunkie board or even some plywood over those slats could provide a more stable base. Your mattress will stay supportive and it'll extend its lifespan. But, it's kind of tricky, it could also make the mattress a lot firmer so if you're planning on getting a new hybrid mattress, you can't just get an extra firm one.

You could definitely benefit from a mattress with zoned support. However, the bunkie board might make it feel firmer than it actually is, so be careful with the firmness levels.

I’ve been on a bit of a mattress journey with Costco. First tried the Sealy Carver Firm—loved it at first, but over time it developed a sag. Now, I’m testing out the Novaform Legacy Premier, and it’s definitely ultra firm.. like too firm, not conforming whatsoever and has zero bounce, which I’m not sure I love.

Thinking about returning it and going for an Avocado instead. Anyone have long-term success with a Costco mattress that held up? Would love to hear what worked (or didn’t) for you!

Best Costco Mattress - 17 Mattresses Objectively Tested
June 27, 2025 - I wouldn’t recommend this mattress for side sleepers, but some back or stomach sleepers may find it to be a nice option. In our performance tests, the Renew scored an 8.14 overall, which actually puts the mattress in the bottom 20% of all mattresses tested to date. If we look exclusively at specialty mattresses, that rank is slightly better, being in the bottom 25%. Although the score is high enough to be considered one of the “best” from Costco, it’s still not impressive compared to all mattresses we’ve tested.
