I once heard excellent advice: spare no expense on buying the most comfortable shoes, chairs (eg work chair), and bed/mattress you can find. Because you spend almost 100% of your life standing, sitting, or lying down.
True. Which? magazine (the UK product review magazine) did a test of mattresses a while back in which the most expensive mattress was one of the least comfortable, and the most comfortable was one of the cheapest.
Yeah my experience is that mattress comfort is mostly uncorrelated with price (which is unsurprising when you realize most of the expense in mattress production is advertising; they pretty much all cost the same amount to make).
I’d recommend for most people to go to a mattress store and try all of them since comfort is pretty much entirely about what style of mattress you want (springs / bouncy foam / memory foam, hard / medium / soft) and how that interacts with your pillows.

The corollary to that advice is that most comfortable doesn’t necessarily mean most expensive.
