Sleep Softly
We tested the best in bedding. The winners knocked us out, cold.

THE ULTIMATE MATTRESS 
There’s more to take home from hotels than mini shampoo bottles. Seeking return business, chains have worked with mattress manufacturers to create lush beds—that you can also buy for your own home. We tried five: the W Mattress, Westin’s Heavenly Bed, Sheraton’s Sweet Sleeper, the Four Seasons Signature Mattress, and the Four Points Four Comfort Bed. Thanks to a near-perfect balance of support and padding, the Four Comfort Bed ($1,300, starwoodhotels.com) was the winner. The specially designed Sealy mattress sits atop a foundation made of heavy-gauge, high-carbon steel, which does a better job of flexing to absorb weight and movement than a traditional box spring. Need something softer? Check out Westin’s Heavenly Bed ($1,450, westin.com); its pillow-top mattress provides an extra layer of padding that you can sink into without being swallowed up.

THE ULTIMATE PILLOW 
If you’re pillow-fighting with lingerie models, any old stuffed sack will do. But for sound, safe sleep, you need a pillow that will keep your neck aligned with your spine. “The more neutral your neck’s position, the wider the nerve passageways running through it will open,” says Mark McLaughlin, M.D., a spinal surgeon at University Medical Center at Princeton. The results: a reduced risk of neck pain and more-restful sleep. So what’s the best prop for the job? Memory foam. “It’s been a great advancement in pillow technology,” says Dr. McLaughlin, explaining that memory foam molds to your head and neck, keeping everything lined up as if you were standing straight. And, unlike feather fills, it won’t lose its shape over time. We like Select Comfort’s Grid-Zone pillow ($90, selectcomfort.com). The egg-crate surface conformed perfectly to our tester’s head and neck, reducing tossing and turning. Back sleepers might prefer the low-profile TempurPedic Classic ($100, tempurpedic.com); it’s thinner but still supportive.
