We (healthline) include products we think are useful for our readers. If you buy through links on this page, we may earn a small commission. Here’s our process.

Here’s what we considered when picking the best mattresses for sciatica:

  • Customer reviews. We looked for mattresses rated well by people who’ve actually purchased (and slept on!) them. We also checked reviews specifically for mentions of sciatica or pressure relief.
  • Claims. Though each of these mattresses is rated well by people with pain and offers good comfort and support, we avoid brands that claim their mattresses can prevent, cure, or mitigate any illness or condition.
  • Company policies. We make sure the companies offer warranties, in-home trials, and shipping and return policies that give you a chance to try out the mattress before officially deciding to keep it.
  • Transparency. We value companies that are transparent and let consumers know where their products are made and what they’re made from.
  • Safety. All mattresses on our list comply with the Federal Flammability Standard, 16 CFR part 1633, and 16 CFR part 1632.
  • Company reputation. We avoid brands that have been found guilty in a recent lawsuit related to business practices. We also avoid companies that rank poorly on the Better Business Bureau.
  • Materials certifications. We look for mattresses made of materials certified safe from a reputable third party.
