Luxury Mattress Comparison Worksheet
A side by side sheet for recording the construction, terms and all-in quote of up to three candidate beds so the decision rests on facts rather than showroom feel.
Reviewed for 2026, updated September 8, 2026.
By the third showroom, most shoppers can no longer remember which bed had the horsehair layer, which one offered split tension, and which warranty was prorated. Feel fades within hours; facts written down do not. This worksheet lists the twelve criteria our guide treats as decisive for a handcrafted mattress, gives you a benchmark for what a good answer looks like, and leaves three columns for the beds you are seriously considering.
Fill the sheet in the showroom rather than from memory at home, and press for specifics: a maker that cannot name its layers in order or state the spring gauge for your size has told you something useful. Use the Luxury Mattress Cost per Night Calculator (/tools/mattress-cost-per-night/) to translate each all-in quote into a per night figure over a realistic lifespan, and read What Separates A Truly Handcrafted Mattress From A Mass Produced One? (/blog/separates-truly-handcrafted-mattress/) for the background on why these criteria matter.
| Criterion | What a good answer looks like | Bed A | Bed B | Bed C |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core construction | Pocketed springs, natural latex or a hybrid; spring on spring is a plus | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Spring count and wire gauge in your size | Both stated without hesitation and in writing | Your figures | Your figures | Your figures |
| Fillings in order from the springs up | Named layers such as coir, wool, horsehair and cashmere, with weights | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Natural latex share, if any | Stated percentage of natural rubber; Dunlop or Talalay; organic certification | Your figure | Your figure | Your figure |
| Tufting and border | Hand tufted through the full depth; hand side stitched border | Yes / No | Yes / No | Yes / No |
| Tension options for couples | Soft through extra firm; split tension or zip-and-link available | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Your showroom test | Fifteen minutes in your real position with no strain when you rise | Your verdict | Your verdict | Your verdict |
| Trial terms | Length, fees and comfort exchange versus refund, all in writing | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Warranty terms | Defect sag depth, prorated or not, required base, stain clause | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Base requirement and lead time | A suitable base named; lead time stated in weeks | Your notes | Your notes | Your notes |
| Service later in life | Refurbishment or re-tufting offered, with an indicative cost | Yes / No | Yes / No | Yes / No |
| All-in quote | Mattress, base, protector, delivery, removal and sales tax | Your figure | Your figure | Your figure |
