Best Floor Mattress Reviews
There are all sorts of reasons why people choose to sleep on the floor. Some folks prefer being lower down, while some simply don’t see the point of spending extra money on a bed frame. The only trouble is, many mattresses aren’t comfortable if you place them directly on the floor. The best mattresses for sleeping on the floor are comfortable without any box spring or slats. Sadly, that’s not the case with most mattresses on the market!

Don’t worry, though. We’ve got you covered with reviews and recommendations of the best mattresses for sleeping on the floor. The models we’ve selected below are all comfortable with or without bed frames and box springs. They’re ideal for people who want to sleep on the floor without sacrificing their spine!

Best Floor Mattress Reviews

Tuft & Needle

Michelle’s Take
 

“Tuft & Needle have taken the mattress world by storm over the past few years. I’d ask you to try and think of any other non-box store brand with more name recognition. Between social media influencer brigades and rave reviews in all sorts of periodicals, it’s easy to see why Tuft & Needle mattresses are so popular!

They’re not all hype, though. Not by a long shot! In fact, this is my mattress recommendation to the average buyer, whether you sleep on a frame or on the floor. Tuft & Needle’s mattress (they only make one, by the way) is a great ‘meet me in the middle’ choice for people who want a balance of value and quality, firmness and cushion, and so on. It’s comfortable for nearly everybody and remarkably affordable.

What’s so great about the Tuft & Needle? There’s quite a lot to love. First of all, it’s the best memory foam-style mattress I’ve reviewed at any price, despite being far from expensive. Yes, I know, they have a proprietary foam that’s not quite memory foam, but it’s essentially a very springy, cool memory foam mattress. The foam is another winner–it’s springy but adaptive, sleeps relatively cool, and one of the least gassy options out there.

How does it do on the floor? Really well, actually. The dense base foam layer gives it plenty of structure without any need for a frame, but there’s enough support in the mid and upper layers to make up for the fact that you won’t have any slats underneath.

I think this one’s a good choice for folks who like memory foam-style sleep surfaces and want one that’ll work well on the floor.”

My Green Mattress Pure Echo

Michelle’s Take
 

“The Pure Echo from My Green Mattress is a great choice for floor sleepers who want to go old-school. It’s an innerspring mattress with some very solid environmental and comfort credentials! I don’t recommend many innerspring mattresses, since they’ve gone out of fashion, but this one makes a convincing case for sticking with them!

The Pure Echo is a good choice for those who are looking for something that feels like a traditional mattress, with no foam of any sort. Its springs are more than enough on their own, without a bulky box spring or slatted base. You can put it right on the floor and expect a comfy night’s sleep. You don’t get the kind of cradling effect that you would from foam, but I also know that a lot of people don’t like the cradling sensation anyway.

I like the Pure Echo because it’s genuinely an eco-friendly product without any greenwashing. Most mattress companies try to fool you with foam certifications that don’t actually mean you won’t be breathing in harmful fumes, since they’re rated by the foam manufacturers themselves. Since most innerspring mattresses today are filled with foam, it’s hard to get away from fumes. This one’s just metal, cotton, and wool. It’s all organic and GreenGuard-certified, so there’s no off-gassing or chemical exposure at all.”

Sleep On Latex Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress

Michelle’s Take
 
“Latex mattresses are my personal favorites, and this one is the best I’ve reviewed to date. Latex isn’t for everyone, since it’s expensive and has a distinctive feel, but it’s the longest-lasting mattress material and is just as adaptive as memory foam these days. Its stellar springiness and resilience is ideal for sleeping on the floor!

Latex mattresses always last longer than innerspring or memory foam sleep surfaces, and that’s even more true when we talk about sleeping on the floor. Aside from providing more comfort to you, bed frames and box springs also serve the purpose of saving wear and tear on your mattress. If you go without them, you’ll wear out your sleep surface much more quickly. With latex, that’s not so much of a worry. Natural latex will last for years and years of use without you noticing any deterioration!

I also think this is simply the most comfortable mattress on the market! Some people may disagree and prefer the Tuft & Needle, which is certainly more cradle-y, but I like the Pure Green because it adapts without ever feeling like you’re sinking. Their latex foam is super springy and provides ample support without being too firm. I recommend the medium-firm model because it’s like a springier, more resilient foam bed. If you sleep on your back and like things quite firm, you may want to opt for the firm model instead.”

Conclusion

Which of these mattresses should you buy for sleeping on the floor?

The Tuft & Needle is a good choice if you like memory foam and other modern mattresses. It’s the best foam-type mattress we’ve reviewed, either on a frame or on the floor. We think it’s the best choice for the average buyer.

The My Green Mattress is a better choice if you like traditional spring mattresses. It’s truly old school, with no foam at all. This isn’t quite as comfortable for most people as the Tuft & Needle, though, and it won’t last as long as the Pure Green. Spring mattresses tend to have the shortest lifespans when they’re used on the floor.

While latex isn’t for everyone, the Sleep On Latex Pure Green is our top quality recommendation for sleeping on the floor. It’s nearly as adaptive as the Tuft & Needle, while packing a lot more springiness and durability. We think it’s a perfect balance between eco-friendliness and modern comfort. And since it’s latex, it’ll last for years and years without wearing out–even without a frame or box spring to help it out. Choosing just one best floor mattress is tricky, but overall we’d say the Tuft & Needle is our top pick thanks to its additional depth and outstanding comfort.
