Drew and Jonathan’s lineup at Rooms To Go is built around innerspring support cores with different comfort “tops” (soft to extra firm), aiming to cover most sleep styles without getting overly complicated. In our testing, the standout picks were Ruby Ranch for balanced comfort and Arada Canyon for pressure relief, while Westwater leaned firm and Capertee stayed straightforward and neutral.
Product overview: the four models we tested
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capertee | 4.0 | Stable medium feel, good temperature balance, easy to live with | Not the most plush for sharp shoulder pressure | Mixed-position sleepers who want a medium feel | $1,299.99 (Queen) |
| Ruby Ranch | 4.2 | Most even blend of cooling + cushioning, strong “all-around” performance | Can read slightly firm for very light side sleepers | Couples and combo sleepers needing balance | $1,999.99 (King) |
| Westwater | 4.2 | Strongest support and edges, best for back/stomach alignment | Pressure relief is limited for side sleepers | Back/stomach sleepers and heavier bodies | $1,999.99 (King) |
| Arada Canyon | 4.1 | Best pressure relief, easiest on shoulders/hips | Softer feel can dip at the hips for heavier sleepers | Lightweight-to-average side sleepers | $1,799.99 (Queen) |
Testing team takeaways in one minute
Across the four, we saw a clear “feel ladder”: Westwater ran the firmest and most supportive for back/stomach alignment, while Arada Canyon delivered the deepest pressure relief for side sleeping. Capertee stayed the most neutral and predictable night to night. Ruby Ranch was the most balanced for couples because it blended cushioning and stability without feeling sluggish. Mattress types, heights, and comfort profiles were confirmed via retailer listings and product detail pages.

How we tested these Drew and Jonathan mattresses
We rotated the four mattresses through the same bedroom setup and evaluated them using seven consistent metrics: Support, Cooling, Pressure Relief, Motion Isolation, Responsiveness, Edge Support, and Durability. I focused on lumbar support, hip alignment, and “all-night” firmness consistency, while Marcus pushed heat and deep-support limits, Mia stress-tested shoulder/hip pressure in side sleep, and Jenna plus Ethan handled couple motion and edge-sharing checks. Our scoring tables below are the direct numerical reflection of those same seven metrics.
Drew and Jonathan: our testing experience
Drew & Jonathan Capertee
Our Testing Experience
The first night on Capertee felt like a clean “medium baseline”—not a dramatic sink, not a board, just a steady surface that didn’t fight me when I switched from back to side. Marcus ran warm, but the surface stayed less muggy than I expected for a foam-topped innerspring, and the bed didn’t sag under his hips the way softer builds sometimes do. Mia said her shoulder settled in “enough,” but she still noticed pressure if she stayed locked on one side too long. When Jenna and Ethan did their usual rolling-and-resetting routine, the bed stayed reasonably calm, but you could still feel a bit of springy feedback.

Drew & Jonathan Ruby Ranch
Our Testing Experience
Ruby Ranch was the one that felt “finished” right away—there’s more cushion on top than Capertee, but it doesn’t drift into marshmallow territory. I could sit up with a laptop and still feel my lower back supported, and when I rolled to my side the top layers softened the pressure points without letting my hips slide out of alignment. Marcus liked the firmer understructure because it resisted sag under his midsection, and he kept coming back to how the surface stayed cooler than expected late in the night. Mia said it was close to her sweet spot, though she still preferred the softer cradle of Arada Canyon. Jenna and Ethan both noted that motion felt more muted here than on Capertee—less “spring talk-back” when someone shifted.
What we liked
-
Best overall balance of cushioning and support
-
Cooling stayed consistent even on warmer nights
-
Calmer partner movement than the firmer models
Who it is best for
-
Couples who share the bed nightly
-
Back/side combo sleepers who want a medium feel with cushion
-
People who dislike slow “memory-foam sink” but still want pressure relief
Where it falls short
-
Very light side sleepers may still want softer
-
Not as rigidly supportive as Westwater for strict stomach sleeping
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Most balanced comfort-to-support feel in the lineup | May read slightly firm for very light side sleepers |
| Cooling-oriented foam stack called out by retailer | Stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer top |
| Better motion control than the bouncier builds | Price jumps compared with entry models |

Drew & Jonathan Westwater
Our Testing Experience
Westwater is the mattress I put people on when they say, “No softness, please.” The surface is unapologetically firm, and my first note was how easily it kept my hips from dipping when I took a quick stomach-sleep nap. Marcus looked relieved—literally—because the bed didn’t compress into a bowl under his midsection, and he liked how the edge stayed solid when he sat to tie his shoes. Mia lasted about twenty minutes on her side before she started shifting her shoulder around, which told us the pressure-relief ceiling is real for smaller side sleepers. Jenna and Ethan found it easy to move on, but the firmness also meant you feel a little more of what the other person is doing compared with Ruby Ranch.
What we liked
-
Strongest support and most stable edges in the group
-
Cooling foams and a firm build that didn’t trap heat
-
Fast, easy movement—no “stuck” sensation
Who it is best for
-
Back and stomach sleepers
-
Heavier bodies that need anti-sag support
-
Anyone who wants a firm, upright feel for spinal alignment
Where it falls short
-
Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders/hips may feel pressure points
-
Motion isolation is only mid-pack
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Firmest support feel; best anti-sag performance | Pressure relief is limited for side sleepers |
| Excellent edge stability and sit support | Partner movement can be more noticeable than on Ruby Ranch |
| Cooling materials called out by retailer | Firm feel may be polarizing |

Drew & Jonathan Arada Canyon
Our Testing Experience
Arada Canyon felt plush the moment I lay down—more shoulder give, more hip cushion, and a softer landing than the other three. Mia immediately preferred it because her shoulder sank without forcing her neck to angle up, and she stopped doing the micro-adjustments we saw on the firmer beds. For me, it was great for side-sleep starts, but I had to watch my hip position: if I stayed still too long, the softness could let me settle deeper than ideal. Marcus was the toughest critic here—he felt the early signs of “hammocking” under his hips, even though the support system is more structured than a typical soft bed. Jenna and Ethan thought it was the quietest-feeling surface when one person got in and out, but edge lounging felt softer than Westwater.
What we liked
-
Best pressure relief for shoulders and outer hips
-
Plush top felt comfortable immediately
-
Calmer-feeling partner movement
Who it is best for
-
Lightweight-to-average side sleepers
-
People who want a softer surface feel without going full memory-foam sink
-
Couples who prioritize comfort and pressure relief
Where it falls short
-
Heavier sleepers may prefer a firmer top to keep hips level
-
Edge support is solid but not as “hard-edged” as Westwater
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Best pressure relief in our side-sleep checks | Can feel too soft for heavier back/stomach sleepers |
| Plush, comfortable first-contact feel | Hips may settle deeper over long still periods |
| Good noise and motion control feel | Edges feel softer than the firm models |

Compare performance scores across the lineup
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capertee | 4.0 | 4.1 | 3.9 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Ruby Ranch | 4.2 | 4.3 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 4.0 | 4.2 | 4.1 |
| Westwater | 4.2 | 4.6 | 3.5 | 4.5 | 3.7 | 4.3 | 4.4 |
| Arada Canyon | 4.1 | 4.1 | 4.7 | 4.3 | 3.9 | 4.0 | 3.8 |
On the numbers, Ruby Ranch is the most evenly strong across categories, while Westwater wins the “support and edge” battle but gives up ground on pressure relief. Arada Canyon is the clear pressure-relief leader, with a mild penalty in responsiveness and support for heavier bodies. Capertee stays the most middle-of-the-road—strong enough everywhere, dominant nowhere.
How to choose a Drew and Jonathan mattress
If you sleep on your side and feel pressure at the shoulder or hip, start with Arada Canyon; if you share the bed, Ruby Ranch is the safest all-around pick for balanced comfort and calmer motion. If you’re a back/stomach sleeper or you’re heavier and hate sag, Westwater is the firm support play. If you want a true medium that doesn’t overcommit to plushness or firmness, Capertee is the simplest choice.
Limitations to keep in mind
These mattresses are tuned as distinct “feel profiles,” so choosing the wrong firmness is the fastest way to miss. Westwater can be too firm for side sleepers with sensitive joints, while Arada Canyon can feel too soft under heavier hips over long still periods. Ruby Ranch is the most adaptable, but very light side sleepers may still prefer the softer Arada Canyon. Capertee is balanced, yet it won’t deliver that deep-cushion pressure relief some side sleepers want.
Drew and Jonathan vs. alternatives
Choose these mattresses if you want: (1) a clear firmness ladder (soft to extra firm), (2) cooling-forward foams paired with an innerspring core, and (3) zoned support plus reinforced edges called out across multiple models.
If you’re a lightweight side sleeper who still wants more contour, consider Helix Midnight (soft pressure relief with balanced support). If you’re a hot sleeper who wants a more specialized cooling build, consider Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (stronger cooling emphasis and multiple firmness options).
Pro tips for Drew and Jonathan mattresses
-
Give each mattress at least 7–10 nights before making a final comfort call, especially if you’re switching firmness categories.
-
If you’re between Ruby Ranch and Westwater, choose Westwater only if you consistently sleep on your back or stomach.
-
For Arada Canyon, use a supportive pillow that keeps your head level; a plush top can make a too-tall pillow feel awkward fast.
-
If you sit on the edge often (shoes, stretching), Westwater is the safest pick for a firmer, more stable perimeter feel.
-
For couples, test “edge sharing” before buying—sleep with both bodies in the outer third to see if you feel crowding.
-
If you run hot, use breathable bedding (lighter comforter, moisture-wicking sheets) to let the mattress cooling materials do their job.
-
Rotate the mattress head-to-foot on a consistent schedule to reduce early body impressions.
-
If you’re a side sleeper choosing Capertee, consider a slightly softer pillow-topper only if your shoulder pressure doesn’t settle after break-in.
-
When evaluating motion isolation, focus on wake-ups: if you notice your partner’s first movement of the night, prioritize Ruby Ranch or Arada Canyon.
