Where the numbers come from
The guide only states what the day's catalog shows: each number comes from the reading on 07/11/2026, and the median is for mattresses with the data.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a mattress for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure how comfortable it feels or durability.
