What Mattress Sales Floors Won’t Tell You
Mattress Reviews are conducting in order to help consumers with the decision making process. Buying a mattress shouldn’t feel confusing or pressured. Elite Sleep Reviews was created to give shoppers clear, real-world mattress advice based on years of experience helping customers choose the right mattress—not marketing claims or paid hype.
Every guide and review on this site is written from the perspective of a former top-performing mattress sales professional, with one goal: helping you choose the right mattress the first time.

How We Test Mattresses
Our reviews are based on firsthand, hands-on testing and real-world sleep experience. We evaluate mattresses using consistent criteria, including pressure relief, spinal alignment, motion isolation, temperature regulation, and durability. We do not use any fancy gimmicks, proprietary scoring systems, or manufacturer-provided ratings. Each mattress is tested the same way so comparisons are fair, transparent, and based on actual performance, helping readers make informed, trustworthy buying decisions. Read our full mattress testing methodology!
Hi, I’m Thomas Saunders, founder of Elite Sleep Reviews.
I hold a background in Exercise Science, which gives me a deep understanding of how sleep, recovery, posture, and spinal alignment affect overall performance and health. That academic foundation shapes how I evaluate mattresses, especially support, pressure relief, and long-term comfort.
Before launching Elite Sleep Reviews, I was the #1 mattress sales associate in 2025 at the largest mattress retailer in the United States. During that time, I worked directly with thousands of sleepers, learning what actually works across different body types, sleep positions, and comfort preferences and where many popular mattresses fall short.
Today, I combine:
- Hands-on mattress testing
- Exercise science principles
- Real customer feedback from years of in-store experience
to deliver independent, experience-based reviews you can trust. No sponsored rankings. No manufacturer influence. Just honest guidance to help you sleep better.
Take our Find Your Mattress Quiz and I will give you my top 3 recommendations and give you the comparisons of each. I will do my best to get these back to you within 24 hours.
Our testing method!
My mattress testing combines hands-on experience with real customer feedback from thousands of real people, highlighting how each product performs in everyday use, not just in a showroom or lab.
