Key Insights
Key Takeaway
For a 38-year-old side sleeper with mild back and hip discomfort, AI recommendations consolidate around five brands - Saatva, Tempur-Pedic, Nolah, ViscoSoft, and Brooklyn Bedding - regardless of model. ViscoSoft owns sub-$200, Saatva Graphite owns the premium consensus, Nolah owns the hot-sleeper niche.
Top Brands Summary
ViscoSoft, Saatva, Nolah, and Tempur-Pedic form the universal-tier core - mentioned by all four models. ViscoSoft dominates the sub-$200 segment across every model. Saatva (Graphite specifically) is the consensus premium pick. Tempur-Pedic appears in every premium ranking but Claude P3 explicitly says the brand premium is not justified. Nolah is the cross-cutting choice for hot sleepers. Avocado, Brooklyn Bedding, and Helix form a clear second tier.
