This is a rather weird thing to make an account on TappedOut to discuss, but, having just gone through this process a couple of months ago, sure, I'll bite.
Generally speaking, there are three types of mattresses. The first are your traditional spring mattresses, which use compressed coils to support your body. These might come with a pillow top or not (i.e. additional padding on top). The second is a memory foam mattress, which is entirely foam that contours to your body to support it. The third are hybrid mattresses, which have traditional springs for the main portion of the mattress, but a memory foam topper.
Which type of mattress you use is a matter of personal taste--some people find springs uncomfortable; other people find memory foam uncomfortable. You will want to test out your options and see which one you find most comfortable.
After deciding what type of mattress you like, your next most important decision is going to be how firm you want it. Generally these range from plush to ultra firm, and which you prefer would, again, be a personal preference. Each brand has different definitions of plush and firm and there are different feels for plush and firm within the same brands, depending on if memory foam or coils are involved.
Ultimately, you are going to have to go to mattress stores and feel them out yourself to see what type of mattress you like. Usually one store is not going to have all the mattress options available, so you should shop around at both department stores (such as Macy's, etc.) in addition to dedicated mattress stores.
Another thing to note, mattresses are a long-term investment in your comfort. A cheaper mattress is going to start to degrade after a couple of years, resulting in back pain and less comfortable sleep. Cheaper mattresses usually have a life expectancy of 5-8 years. A more expensive mattress will generally last a lot longer, usually requiring replacement in 10-15 years. These numbers are a bit of estimates, as factors such as your weight and whether you remember to turn your mattress regularly will change the wear and tear.

As a North-Midwestern-American Sasquatch I had to work a little extra to find a mattress, so it is a very personal process, but I will definitely share these two things I came to grips with: 1. Mattresses are in the same category as golf clubs and whiskey; you can spend literally as much as you want. There seems to be no top-end. 2. As awful and unhelpful as #1 can be for someone like me (and likely the rest of us) I do urge you to do the math on how much value you get from your mattress. I don’t want you to blow your money. For sure. But as with shoes, you will be using this item a lot and that should be taken into account when budgeting for a mattress. I hate spending money in general, but I’ve learned (and forgotten and re-learned) that skimping on something like this can be really bad. Definitely do the math, but make sure your math includes all of the variables.

When choosing a mattress Firmness, consider your sleeping position, One-sided sleepers will do best with soft to medium beds.Back and stomach sleeper should look at medium or firm beds,while combination of these two sleepers will benefit most from a medium-firm feel.

Generally, there are 4 types: Twin, Full, Queen, king. In addition to their dimension difference, what kinds of people are applicable is also one crucial factor you should take into account. Different people have different demands for the bed. For example, Twin size is friendly to single sleepers like toddlers and teens, or bunk beds because of slimness, while Full size is the best for single adults who live in a smaller room or space. They will get more economic interests at the same time, and that is one of the most outstanding advantages of the full size. However, it does not seem to be a wise option for couples who need a larger space when sleeping. Therefore, Queen and King size can be more profitable to couples and those single sleepers who are prone to sprawl out. Last but not least, pay attention to your room size and figure out what size is the one matched.
Choosing an appropriate mattress will save a lot of money for you, reducing much time you will waste before you make a decision. Honestly, K and Q are the most popular because they give sleepers a wider space to sleep more comfortably and smoothly and move around in bed more freely. You do not have to worry about any sleep problems.
As for the mattress brand, I recommend the or mattress. I bought a mattress from them and slept comfortably.
