Shiloh is one of the most affordable memory foam mattresses made of quality material in the USA. And it looks great, too. This, however, is not enough to draw any conclusions. First, let’s take a look at basic info on Shiloh.

• Thickness: 12”, 14”
• Warranty: 10 years (limited)
• Firmness: 7-7.5
• Price: from $335
• Layers: gel memory foam with cooling properties, air channel foam, supportive layer
• Made in: USA
• Materials: polyurethane foam

The second, a bit more expensive mattress by Sleep Innovations was also created for all types of sleepers. Setting it up is a breeze, and it may have a bit of an odor, but it will be gone a day after you unpack it.

So, what’s the first thing a person who purchases Shiloh notices? Well, a lot of buyers (including us) think that this mattress is beautiful, especially considering that it is a budget mattress. It looks like it costs $1000. Still, it is bought not because its look but because of the long-term warranty, ability to hold heavy people (it works pretty good for those who weigh 200-240 lbs, as well for lighter sleepers, of course), and a medium level of firmness that provides a lot of support and at the same time, pressure relief. Couples love it for excellent motion isolation, too.

However, sleepers should put it on the foundation, so if you don’t have one or a frame that works well enough with foam mattresses even without foundation, you will need to buy it. If you toss and move all the time, if you have kids who love jumping on your bed, i.e., if you don’t just sleep on it, it may last less than 10 years. Still, it is more durable than Marley, but it is a more expensive one, too.

Marley Mattress can be considered one of the most popular cheap yet quality memory foam mattresses. Before we start to analyze it in more detail, let’s take a look at the basic characteristics.

• Thickness: 8”, 10”, 12
• Warranty: 10 years (limited)
• Firmness: 7-7.5
• Price: from $250
• Awards: U.S. News & World Report’s Best Budget Mattress of 2020
• Layers: gel memory foam with cooling properties, air channel foam, supportive layer
• Made in: USA
• Materials: polyurethane foam

This mattress is offered as an alternative to all people who are tired of incredibly pricey, sagging, and noisy mattresses. You don’t need to flip it, you don’t have to mount it - it is a classic memory foam mattress with cooling gel which makes this item especially good for hot sleepers. It is made of polyurethane foam - no formaldehyde or chemical flame retardants, but it may have a strong odor that, however, will disappear pretty soon.

One of the best things is that it works perfectly for heavy people - the mattress can hold 600 lb, so it will work for partners each of whom weighs 300 lbs. Motion isolation is pretty good, too, and the best thing is this mattress is very quiet and therefore, sex-friendly.

Note that it is a firm one. If you love sleeping on a soft mattress, this is a bad option for you. However, if you expect your mattress to remain super firm for a decade, it might not work, too - if you are an “active” user (have children, move in sleep a lot, have a passionate partner, etc.), your Marley mattress is likely to become softer in about 3 years.

You can buy this mattress for only $250, so taking into account all we said before, it is not surprising that this is the award-winning mattress. Still, it is not perfect, as it doesn’t last as long as more expensive mattresses and gets softer over time.
