Best Mattress Deals On Models We’ve Tested Firsthand

After testing dozens of beds, our sleep editors (who also happen to be certified sleep science coaches) named 12 models the best mattresses of 2025. And many of their picks are currently on sale—as well as options from some of our other shopping guides. Here are some of the best options at a glance.

Best Mattress Deals Right Now: Memory Foam

Save 58% On Our Pick For The Best Memory Foam Mattress

Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress (Queen)

Mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon found this newly updated mattress to be “soft and marshmallowy, and a bit more responsive to pressure than the previous Nectar Premier model.” It also offers excellent motion isolation and a lifetime warranty. If you’re looking for an affordable memory foam design, we think it’s a great option, especially at this price. 

More Deal Information: Although this discounted price has remained steady, Nectar just increased the original price of this mattress for the second time since the start of 2025—making the overall amount off look higher. 


Save $50 On Our Pick For The Most Affordable Comfortable Mattress

Cocoon Chill Mattress (Queen)

Score a highly rated, pressure-relieving mattress for $699 with this Cocoon sale. “The Cocoon Chill provides all the features people love about memory foam, from its pressure-relieving feel to its motion isolating abilities, without retaining heat,” says Dillon. We recommend the hybrid iteration for sleepers around 230 pounds or more, but keep in mind that it is slightly more expensive than the classic memory foam option above.

More Deal Information: This discounted price has remained steady for a few months now, but Cocoon recently dropped the price of its mattress from $1,079 to $749. 


Save 25% On Our Pick For The Best Firm Mattress Overall

Plank Firm Mattress (Queen)

For those looking for something supportive and firm, our sleep editors recommend this Plank mattress. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman says it’s the firmest bed she’s tested and that it “offers exceptional back support and promotes neutral spinal alignment.” It’s also flippable and has two firmness levels for versatility.

More Deal Information: Plank offered 30% off sitewide for July 4, so this offer is slightly less impressive than the one we saw last month.


Our Pick For The Best Affordable Firm Mattress Is 40% Off

Bear Original (Queen)

If you’re seeking a comfortable and budget-friendly design, our sleep editors recommend the Bear Original. Our testers thought it did a great job isolating motion and that the bed fell around the medium-firm range on the mattress scale, which typically best accommodates back and stomach sleepers as well as some combination sleepers. 

More Deal Information: With our exclusive code, you can save 5% more than Bear’s typical holiday offer, which usually maxes out at 35%. 


Save 14% On Our Favorite Memory Foam Mattress For Side Sleepers

Layla Memory Foam Mattress (Queen)

Side sleepers on the hunt for a good memory foam mattress should consider this Layla model. It offers a flippable design, so you can try out different firmness levels, and is made of copper-infused foam to help regulate temperature throughout the night. That said, it’s worth noting that our testers said they “wouldn’t consider it actively cooling.”

More Deal Information: This discount is a regular offer from Layla. 


Take $800 Off Our Pick For The Best Soft Memory Foam Mattress

Amerisleep AS5 Mattress (Queen)

If you’re looking for a super-soft bed, we love Amerisleep’s AS5. The extra-plush design contours to your body to keep you comfortable all night. “My hips and shoulders feel hugged by the bed, which releases any pressure buildup,” says one tester. Plus, its cool-to-the-touch cover helps prevent overheating, a common problem with all-foam beds.

More Deal Information: Amerisleep rarely offers more than $600 off its beds, so this is an excellent time to try one out for $800 less.


Take 25% Off Our Pick For The Best Memory Foam Mattress For Couples

Leesa Original Mattress (Queen)

The Leesa Original offers features that are helpful for couples, like excellent motion isolation and good edge support. These qualities help prevent disturbances throughout the night and make the bed feel more expansive. The medium feel of this bed also accommodates a variety of sleep styles. 

More Deal Information: Leesa offered 30% off select beds over July 4th, but this discount matches the best offer we saw over Memorial Day weekend.


Save $400 On The Best Memory Foam Mattress For Back Pain

Saatva Contour5 Mattress

Saatva’s memory foam design isn’t just great for back pain, it’s an ideal model for hot sleepers and anyone prefers a more responsive memory foam design as well. The model also comes in different firmness levels, so it can accommodate a variety of sleep styles.

Best Mattress Deals Right Now: Hybrid

The Best Mattress Overall Is 20% Off

Helix Midnight Luxe (Queen)

The Helix Midnight Luxe is at the top of our list for the best mattresses of 2025. Our sleep editors say that it’s great for side and combination sleepers who prefer a bed with a medium feel. “If you’re against memory foam mattresses but want a more plush feel, I think the Helix Midnight Luxe will be especially appealing for you,” Dillon explains. 

More Deal Information: This mattress was $1,733 over Memorial Day. Since then, Helix has also slightly increased the original price of the mattress. The brand often offers a 27% discount, so it may be worth waiting for an additional drop. 


Our Pick For The Best Soft Hybrid Mattress Is 42% Off

The DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid (Queen)

If you want a plush, doughy mattress that still offers plenty of supper, we like the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid. Chapman says, "It has a soft, cushiony pillow top that cradles the shoulder and hip really nicely. You don't sink too far into the bed, but you do get enough sinkage for spinal alignment in this position.”

More Deal Information: This mattress fell to a low of $1,299 over Memorial Day weekend, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen since May. 


The Best Cooling Mattress Is 25% Off

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (Queen)

This hybrid model from Brooklyn Bedding delivers excellent temperature regulation and accommodates just about any sleeping style. It’s available in three firmness levels, isolated movement well and, according to our tester, “has a true cool-to-the-touch sensation that many brands advertise but don’t deliver on.” 

More Deal Information: This mattress was 30% off over July 4, so it may drop even more closer to Labor Day weekend. 


Score 20% Off The Best Value Mattress For Heavy People

Helix Plus (Queen)

While the average mattress supports up to 200 to 250 pounds per side, the Helix Plus can hold up to 500 pounds per side (1,000 pounds total). It has a medium-firm construction, but executive strategy editor Lindsay Boyers says, “it felt plusher than most bed-in-a-box mattresses I’ve tried.”

More Deal Information: Helix often offers readers 27% off—and we saw this mattress dip by 30% earlier this year—so you may score a bigger discount closer to Labor Day if you can wait.


Take $400 Off The Best Mattress For Back Pain

Saatva Classic (Queen)

My personal mattress, the Saatva Classic, employs both a classic innerspring design with a luxe European-style pillow top. It comes in three firmness levels and includes a generous warranty period and free white glove delivery—a major bonus for anyone who’s ever struggled with what to do with their old mattress. 

More Deal Information: Saatva’s offers rarely exceed $400 off, even over holiday weekends, so this is a solid time to shop the brand. It’s also worth noting, Saatva increased the price of this mattress by $40 a couple months ago. 


Save 32% On Our Favorite Hybrid Mattress For Side Sleepers

Nolah Evolution 15

Side sleepers typically need a mattress that cushions their hips and shoulders. During our sleep team’s testing, this model proved to have superior cushion and pressure relief for side sleepers of various body sizes. “It’s difficult to find a mattress that doesn’t cause at least some discomfort around my shoulder after lying on it for a while, but I haven’t felt that at all with this one,” says Chapman, who tested the plush Nolah Evolution 15 Mattress in her home for over a month. 

More Deal Information: Nolah often offers 35% off for holiday weekends, so it may be worth waiting for Labor Day to save even more, but this is the next best offer we’ve seen.

The Leesa Sapira checks off all of our boxes for a great hybrid mattress: It feels luxurious and cushy with solid temperature regulation and motion absorption. Overall, our testers say the “medium-firm model is a good middle ground for many sleeper types like back, stomach and combination sleepers.”

More Deal Information: This discount matches the best price we’ve seen over the past two holiday weekends.


Our Pick For The Best Hybrid Mattress For Couples Is 40% Off

Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress (Queen)

This bed is plush enough to feel like a luxury hotel mattress and supportive enough to offer dependable motion isolation and edge support. It also comes with an impressive lifetime warranty.

More Deal Information: This is a match for the price we saw over July 4th weekend.

Save $600 On The Best Organic Mattress For Side Sleepers

Amerisleep Organica Mattress (Queen)

Pressure relief is one of the most important features a side sleeper should seek from their mattress to help minimize stress on the hips and shoulders. Updates writer Alex Garret says, “Amerisleep Organica is the most ideal organic option for avid side sleepers because it combines coils with wool and Talalay latex comfort layers to provide more pressure relief than you’d expect from a latex hybrid bed.”

More Deal Information: After briefly dropping the price of this mattress to $1,499, it’s back to its original $1,749 price. So although, this $600 discount is steeper than its previous $500 deal, the final discounted price is higher than the $999 low we saw last month.

More Deal Details: Nolah frequently offers 35% off over holiday weekends, so it may be worth waiting for a better discount if you’re not in a rush.

What To Consider When Buying A Mattress

Shopping for a new mattress can feel overwhelming—it’s a large purchase and an item that you’ll ideally use nightly for years to come. There are a few important factors to consider that can help you find the perfect fit.

Sleep Style

Your sleeping style makes a huge difference in the type of mattress that will work best for you. For instance, side sleepers typically prefer softer models that provide ample pressure relief, while stomach sleepers will benefit from the all-around support of a firmer bed.

Mattress Type

Mattresses come in a variety of styles, like memory foam and innerspring. Knowing the type of mattress you want can help narrow down your search significantly.

  • Hybrid: Hybrid designs combine a supportive coil base with a cozy foam top layer, making them a crowd-pleasing choice overall. They’re a popular compromise for partners with varied sleeping styles.
  • Memory Foam: Classic memory foam can be divisive. While the all-foam design excels at pressure relief, some sleepers describe the sinking sensation as claustrophobic. They’re also known for trapping more heat than the average bed (though many modern designs now include cooling features).
  • Latex: Eco-conscious shoppers and sleepers who suffer from allergies may prefer a latex model. These mattresses have a similar feel to a memory foam bed, but the material is known for its long-lasting, organic properties.
  • Innerspring: The traditional innerspring bed is made up of a firmer coil base. It’s a great option for sleepers who are seeking a firmer, supportive bed.

Budget

As with any major purchase, budget is a major deciding factor. Establish your budget early to help narrow your options and avoid overspending. After all, you won’t be resting much easier on your new mattress if you feel like you’ve spent significantly more than you wanted.
