CNET created an innovative Mattress Smasher (Mattress Smasher 9000) to take the subjectivity out of mattress firmness testing by using a standardized machine. Traditionally, mattress firmness is assessed based on personal perceptions, which vary depending on a person’s body weight and sleep position. The Mattress Smasher 9000 uses precise pressure measurements to objectively determine a bed’s firmness level, offering more reliable results for consumers. This tool helps provide clarity in a market where comfort is highly subjective, aiding shoppers in selecting the best mattress based on their preferences and needs.
