Best Prime Day mattress deals FAQs

What's the best mattress to buy in 2022?

Consider your body size, medical conditions, preferences, and favorite sleep position when choosing a mattress. A firm mattress tends to be best for heavy individuals, back sleepers, people with back pain, and stomach sleepers. Softer mattresses are ideal for petite individuals and side sleepers. You might consider an adjustable air bed if your sleep partner has comfort preferences that are drastically different from yours. We recommend the Sleep Number 360 i8 Smart Bed.

Over the years, we've tested more than 60 mattresses and compiled a complete guide to the best mattresses. We're fans of the Zinus Green Tea Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress if you're looking for a budget mattress on Amazon. DreamCloud, Tempur-Pedic, and Leesa are other brands we love.

The only way to know that a mattress is right for you is to sleep on it for several nights. Look for a long sleep trial with a full refund if you want to return your mattress. Whether you buy your mattress from Amazon or the brand's website, most bed-in-a-box retailers provide trials of at least 90 nights.

Where to buy a mattress: online or in-store?

While it's nice to lie on a mattress before purchasing it, we've found that it takes many nights of sleeping on a mattress before you can tell if it's truly right for you. This is where online retailers have the edge. They deliver the mattress to your door and give you an extended period to try it out. If you don't like it, they arrange to pick it up and provide a refund.

What mattress deals can I expect during Prime Day?

Zinus, Casper, Tuft & Needle, and Leesa are just some of the popular brands that have historically offered deals on Prime Day. We've rounded up the best mattress deals this July if you are looking for even more discounts.

What size mattress should you buy?

Queen, King, and California King mattresses are generally better for couples, while individuals are often fine with Twin, Twin XL, or Full mattresses. A Twin should be enough for a petite individual sleeping alone. Twin XL is better if you're taller. Consider a Full if you're a bigger person.

Queen is the most popular mattress size and is good for most couples. Cal King is better for taller sleeping partners. King is ideal for larger couples. If your pets sleep in bed with you, consider a larger mattress.

How much should I spend on a mattress?

Your preferences and comfort should take precedence over price when choosing a mattress. This table gives you an idea of how much you can expect to spend:

Type of mattress	Budget	Mid-priced	Luxury
Foam mattress	$450 or less	From $1,000	From $1,300
Innerspring mattress	$600 or less	From $1,000	From $1,200
Hybrid mattress	$1,100 or less	From $1,500	From $2,200
Latex mattress	$1,200 or less	From $2,000	From $2,500

We've rigorously tested dozens of mattresses, and our favorite is the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid Mattress, costing $1,400. Yet, the budget Zinus memory foam mattress is often under $400 on Amazon.

When you purchase a mattress, we've found that you usually get what you pay for. For instance, pricier mattresses tend to offer zoned support that keeps your spine aligned while you sleep.

You're going to be spending a third of your life for the next decade or more on your mattress. Averaged out over the life of your mattress, a few extra cents per night is worth it to sleep soundly and comfortably.
