I tried to use Google to search for mattresses this way and found that 10/10 sites on the first page were all just affiliates of the mattress companies they were recommended. Even though they were reputable sites like the NYTimes, etc. I then appended "reddit" to my search and everyone in the comments essentially said to avoid those very brands that were the highest recommended from those sites.

I hate that modern SEO is practically just build to create spam to game Google.

Good luck buying a mattress. The market is so intense that it is basically impossible to find honest information. Everything is affiliate links and the forums are flooded with shills.

I ended up building my own mattress because the community around it doesn't really have a product to push.
