Losing sleep because you’ve overspent isn’t a win: Our budget lineup
Better sleep tonight beats perfect sleep someday. If a $3,000 bed means lying awake worrying about the credit card bill, that’s not a win. These are the best-value picks in each category we score, plus an upgrade if you want to spend more later.
