James Klein Author Profile @WantMattress

James Klein
Senior Product Testing Manager
Every WantMattress product test runs through the same checks James Klein and the testing team work to. Unboxing and set-up come first, then edge support, motion transfer, surface feel and how the layers respond under different body weights.
James pays attention to what spec sheets miss, such as how a mattress behaves after a few hours, where the support gives way, and whether the comfort layers keep their shape. Those notes feed the durability and support scores, measured against the published rubric on our How We Test page.
Build quality runs through everything the team records, from stitching and handles to how a rolled mattress recovers once it is out of the box. Where a product has been handled in person the review says so, and where a judgement leans on verified retailer reviews and manufacturer data, it says that too.
