What Do These Mattresses Feel Like?
Casper
Medium to slightly firm feel. I would rate it at a 6-7 out of 10 on the firmness scale (where 10 is the most firm). It does have a slightly more pronounced “hug” around your body, which contributes a bit to the overall softness. The zoned support system means it’s softer at the shoulders and firmer at the hips which allows for side sleeping spinal alignment.

Leesa
Medium firmness. I would rate it at a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The Leesa has a balanced level of hug, sinkage, and body contour. Enough that it feels soft, but not so deep that you feel stuck. Provides a consistent feel for a wide range of sleepers.

Tuft & Needle
Medium to slightly firm feel. I would rate it at a 6-6.5 on the firmness scale. Slight level of sinkage. Tuft & Needle creates more of a floating feeling, especially if you are using a higher performance foundation. Heavier sleepers may find the Tuft & Needle slightly firmer.

Saatva
Saatva’s mattresses are fairly unique in this respect. They have 3 different tiers of mattress firmness. The Saatva Plush Soft is 3.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The Saatva Luxury Firm is 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. And the Saatva Firm is 8-8.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. This is the only innerspring mattress on the list, so definitely has a bit more bounce and support than the other options, which are of the all-foam bed in a box variety, so probably the best option for heavier folks looking for a mattress online. I’d recommend reading our Saatva mattress review if you want to learn more about how the construction of this mattress affects the way it feels.Saatva Mattress

Is there a benefit to buying a mattress online vs buying one at a brick and mortar store?
This can really depend on consumer preference. Some consumers prefer to have a salesperson walk them through their purchase and make recommendations while others would prefer to remove the salesman from the equation and make their own choices without the extra guidance or prefer to do their own research.
