Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping event exclusively for Amazon Prime members that was first introduced in 2015 as a way for Amazon to celebrate its anniversary. Online shoppers flock to Amazon to take advantage of the limited-time lightning deals and significant sales. Prime Day typically lasts for 48 hours and offers a wide range of discounts across various product categories, including mattresses and sleep accessories.
However, Amazon isn’t the only place to find a great deal on a mattress during Prime Day. Mattress brands have started to offer their own promotions on Prime Day to compete with Amazon. If you’re on the hunt for a new bed, we’ll help you figure out where to find the best Prime Day mattress deals.

Price: $349
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
Save $60 sitewide on Apollo products.
Valid: 7/10 – 7/12
What Our Product Experts Say
“The Apollo Neuro is a handy little device whether you’re trying to stay alert during the day or unwind at night. I enjoyed how each type of vibration felt distinct and served its intended purpose, and also how lightweight the band feels.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Apollo Neuro is a wearable ring that issues light vibrations throughout the day. You can program the device for stimulating, energy-boosting vibrations when you need a pick-me-up in the morning or afternoon, then relaxing vibrations as you’re preparing for bed. The ring weighs only 1.4 ounces, and its battery can last up to 8 hours with a full charge. You don’t need a subscription to regularly use the Neuro.
Who Should Get It
Some of the Neuro’s vibrations are intended to energize you during the day. This device could benefit people who struggle with feelings of tiredness at work.
By the same token, the Neuro’s vibrations designed to help you relax might be useful for anyone who feels stressed or anxious before bed.
Unlike many wearable devices, the Neuro does not require a subscription. This makes the ring ideal for those who want a device they can pick up and use without paying monthly or annual fees.

Valid: 7/11 – 8/7
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Avocado’s flagship Green Mattress exemplifies everything we love about latex hybrids. The surface is responsive and easy to move across, the latex contours gently without hugging or sinking too much, the mattress sleeps very cool.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Avocado Green features two layers of dense, responsive Dunlop latex over robust pocketed coils. Standard models are firm (7), but you can add a Euro-top with an additional latex layer that makes the mattress feel medium firm (6). The latex is ventilated, air circulates freely through the coils, and a top layer of wool batting wicks moisture away from the surface. Avocado holds certifications with the Global Organic Latex Standard and Global Organic Textile Standard, indicating the materials used to construct the Green Mattress are sustainably sourced.
Who Should Get It
Latex has a springy feel and doesn’t contour too closely, so this mattress may be a good fit for people who dislike the hug of memory foam.
After testing the Green, we found the mattress was comfortable and sufficiently supportive for back and stomach sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds. If you’re a side sleeper weighing up to 230 pounds, we recommend the Euro-top addition.
Avocado holds certifications with GOLS, GOTS, and other organizations that certify sustainably made products. As such, the mattress should appeal to eco-conscious shoppers.

120 nights (30-night break-in period) / Lifetime warranty
Type Hybrid
Firmness Medium (5), Medium Firm (6), Firm (8)
Price $1,231 – $2,548
35% off sitewide + free sleep accessories bundle with any mattress purchase. Code: 2DAY
Valid: 7/11 – 7/12
What Our Product Experts Say
“The Elite Hybrid strikes a nice balance between cushioning and support thanks to its foam-over-coils design. Since there are three firmness levels to choose from, most people can find at least one comfortable option regardless of how much they weigh or which sleep position they favor.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why We Like It
Bear’s Elite Hybrid checks a lot of boxes for mattress performance. Foam comfort layers contour evenly to reduce pressure buildup, while pocketed coils provide a sturdy base without generating too much motion transfer. A cover woven with heat-dissipating fibers also helps ensure the surface always feels cool and comfortable. We found the medium firm (6) model to be the most balanced, but you can also choose a medium (5) feel for deeper cushioning or a firm (8) model with extra support.
Who Should Get It
The adaptive foam layers conform evenly from head to toe and the coils maintain an even surface for your body, so we recommend the Elite Hybrid to people with chronic back pain.
The foam absorbs movement well and the coils don’t produce much motion transfer, so the mattress should be suitable for couples and co-sleepers.
Bear is known for mattresses that sleep cool and the Elite Hybrid is no exception. Hot sleepers should find this mattress comfortable and conducive to a good night’s rest.
Birch Mattress
Details
Trial Length 100 nights (30-night requirement)
Warranty 25 Year, Limited
Trial Length / Warranty
100 nights (30-night requirement) / 25 Year, Limited
Type Hybrid
Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $1,099 – $1,799
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
25% off sitewide + 2 free pillows with any mattress purchase. Code: DREAMDAY25
Valid: 7/11 – 7/14
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“The Birch’s latex hybrid design makes it a great alternative to all-foam mattresses. You get gentle contouring, plenty of bounce, excellent temperature regulation, and decent pushback from the pocketed coils. The price is also pretty approachable compared to other models in this category.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Birch is a medium firm (6) hybrid that feels quite responsive when you move across the surface. This exceptional bounce can be attributed to the latex-over-coils design, and it prevents you from sinking too much when you get into bed or change sleep positions. Cooling is another major strength. Two layers of wool batting wick moisture away from the surface, air circulates freely through the coils, and the entire mattress is encased in a breathable cotton cover.
Who Should Get It
The Birch’s responsive, medium firm design is a good fit for a wide range of sleepers, especially side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and back and stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds.
Breathable components in the comfort and support systems help the mattress sleep exceptionally cool, so it’s a solid option for hot sleepers.
Latex is a naturally durable mattress material and the coils are also quite robust, so we recommend the Birch to people who want to invest in a long-lasting mattress.

The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
$150 off Oceano, Crystal Cove, Hybrid Latex Mattresses with code: SUMMER
Valid: 7/11 – 8/7
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“The Brentwood Home Oceano is one of the most sophisticated hybrids we’ve tested firsthand. A combination of adaptive foam layers and sturdy zoned coils ensured a balance of cushioning and support for most of our team.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The first thing we noticed about the Oceano was how soft it felt compared to other hybrids we’ve tested. A layer of poly-silk batting is sewn into the cover, while memory foam and minicoil comfort layers cradle and contour to your body. We also liked the enhanced coil pushback — the support core is divided into seven zones based on coil strength, so you get extra reinforcement where it’s needed and gentler cushioning elsewhere. Like other Brentwood Home mattresses, the Oceano comes with a generous 365-night sleep trial.
Who Should Get It
Since the Oceano is medium soft (4) and conforms very closely, it earned high ratings from our testers who are side sleepers weighing 230 pounds or less.
Unlike other hybrids, the Oceano is not particularly responsive and isolates motion well. This makes the mattress a good fit for couples.
The Oceano’s deep contouring can alleviate discomfort for people with lower back pain and those who feel pressure in the shoulders and hips.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Sheets
Details
Material 100% long-staple cotton
Weave Sateen
Price $199
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
Save 20% sitewide on Brooklinen products.
Valid: 7/11 – 7/12
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Brooklinen’s crowd-pleasing Luxe Sateen Sheets are constructed from long-staple cotton, a fabric prized for its natural durability, breathability, and softness. The set is available in a wide range of colors and patterns, and you can also choose from multiple bundles based on your bedding needs. Best of all, Brooklinen’s generous sleep trial lets you test out your new sheets for up to one year before deciding whether to keep them or return them for a refund.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
These sheets and pillowcases strike a nice balance between drapiness and temperature regulation. The sateen weave gives each item a luxuriously smooth hand-feel, but the cotton is highly breathable and conducive to comfortable sleep. We also like this set for its versatility. In addition to the standard four-piece ensemble, you can also select a smaller starter set or a large move-in bundle that adds a duvet cover, comforter, and pillows into the mix.
Who Should Get It
People who enjoy the feel of soft, drapey bedding should enjoy these sheets. The sateen weave makes each item feel silky and smooth.
Long-staple cotton offers more natural breathability than shorter-staple varieties, so these sheets should be suitable for hot sleepers and people who sweat in their sleep.
The fitted sheet has a 16-inch pocket depth, so the set is compatible with any mattress measuring up to 16 inches thick.

Valid: Happening now
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid pairs adaptive foam comfort layers with a sturdy coil base. You can choose from three firmness levels — I preferred the moderate contouring of the medium firm model — but all of the Signature’s designs offer a balance of cushioning, support, and responsiveness.”
-David Rubin, Director of Product Testing
Why It’s Great:
The Signature Hybrid is a great option for anyone shopping on a budget. While its price-point is below-average for a hybrid model, the mattress doesn’t skimp on quality — the foam layers contour evenly to alleviate pressure, and the coils provide strong reinforcement without creating too much motion transfer. You can choose from medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (7) designs, so most people can find a comfortable option regardless of how much they weigh or which sleep position they prefer.
Who Should Get It
If you’re a side or back sleeper weighing up to 230 pounds, we recommend either the medium soft or medium firm designs. These models provide the most cushioning and pressure relief.
Stomach sleepers may need more support, so the medium firm or firm models are probably more suitable for those who primarily use this position.
All three Signature Hybrid designs sleep fairly cool and should be a good fit for hot sleepers. For an extra fee, you can upgrade your mattress to include a cooling cover.

What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Casper is one of the biggest online mattress brands for a reason. Their flagship model has what I consider to be that classic memory foam feel. It’s like getting a big hug from your bed.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The Casper Original Mattress is a medium (5) memory foam mattress with a clever design. The bed’s foam layers contour to the curves of your body for the quintessential memory foam feel. However, a top layer of Casper’s AirScape foam improves airflow on this highly contouring bed and zoned support ensures your spine stays in a neutral position all night. A 100-night sleep trial and 10-year limited warranty also mean your purchase is protected.
Who Should Get It
The Casper Original Mattress offers ideal pressure relief and support for back and side sleepers who weigh under 230 pounds.
Casper’s AirScape foam helps improve airflow and keep even hot sleepers relatively cool on this memory foam bed.
Casper’s all-foam design helps prevent motion transfer for couples without stifling movement or making you feel stuck in bed.

Price $389
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
Save 35% sitewide on Cozy Earth products with promo code: PRIMEDAY
Valid: 7/11 – 7/17
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Cozy Earth delivers everything we enjoy about bamboo-derived sheets with this luxurious four-piece set. Each item is silky-smooth, breathable, and long-lasting — with proper care, the sheets and pillowcases should resist pilling for years to come.”
-David Rubin, Director of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set consists of a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one to two pillowcases depending on which size you choose. Each component is composed of viscose derived from bamboo in a sateen weave, so you can expect exceptional softness, a close drape, and a gentle feel on your skin. You can choose from six sizes — including a split king for adjustable beds — and seven neutral colors. Bamboo is resistant to pilling, and Cozy Earth includes early pilling as a defect covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Who Should Get It
Viscose derived from bamboo is a highly breathable fabric. Although the sheets in this set drape closely, they should feel cool and comfortable for hot sleepers.
Each item in this collection has a silky-smooth feel, making the set a good option for people with sensitive skin who find cotton and other fabrics too coarse.
The Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is somewhat expensive, but the fabric is resistant to pilling over time. We recommend this set to anyone who wants to invest in long-lasting bedding.

What Our Sleep Experts Say
“After testing hundreds of mattresses, I can say that DreamCloud is probably one of the best values out there. This bed’s incredibly comfortable hybrid construction strikes the perfect balance between body-hugging pressure relief and support with just the right amount of bounce. Yet somehow it costs way less than most hybrids on the market.”
-David Rubin, Director of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The DreamCloud Mattress is one of the most reasonably priced hybrid beds that we’ve tested. While the mattress carries a bargain price tag, it performs just as well as many luxury hybrids. This 14-inch, medium firm (6) mattress offers versatile comfort for a wide range of sleepers. Our testers were also impressed by the DreamCloud’s comfort system. Multiple layers of contouring foam, including gel-infused memory foam, cradle the body, relieve pressure, and isolate motion while staying cool and avoiding too much sinkage.
Who Should Get It
The DreamCloud offers great comfort all around but especially shines for side sleepers over 130 pounds.
Shoppers on a budget can appreciate the low price tag, high-quality materials like gel-infused memory foam and cashmere-blend cover, and excellent customer service policies including a one-year sleep trial.
The DreamCloud’s thick comfort system offers outstanding motion isolation for couples who enjoy the responsive bounce of a hybrid bed.

The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:

Valid: 7/11 – 7/14
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Although the Helix Midnight is specifically designed for side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, our tests show the mattress is comfortable and sufficiently supportive across a wide range of sleeper types. The below-average price should also appeal to shoppers on a budget.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Midnight is one of Helix’s most balanced hybrid models. Memory foam and polyfoam comfort layers provide even surface-level cushioning to improve alignment and reduce pressure along the spine, while pocketed coils provide a stable base without creating too much motion transfer for co-sleepers. We also appreciated the thick perimeter coils, which prevent deep sinkage along the edges and create some responsiveness for moving across the mattress.
Who Should Get It
During our hands-on tests, the Midnight was popular with our team across the board but earned especially high ratings from side and back sleepers up to 230 pounds.
A breathable cover and coils that promote steady airflow make the Midnight a good option for people who sleep hot.
The foam layers absorb a fair amount of movement and isolate transfer well, so couples can sleep soundly on the Midnight without waking each other up with nighttime movements.
Layla Essential Mattress

Firmness Medium Firm (6)
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
Free delivery with each order
Valid: 7/11 – 7/12
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“Many budget beds tend to be softer and only work for sleepers who are on the lighter side. I like the Layla Essential Mattress because it’s one of the few lower cost, all-foam models that can actually support most back and stomach sleepers.”
-David Rubin, Director of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The Layla Essential Mattress has a simple, two-layer design that manages to be supportive and comfortable for a wide range of sleepers. This medium firm (6) bed features 2 inches of contouring memory foam and 7 inches of dense and supportive polyfoam that helps maintain spinal alignment as you sleep. Aside from our stomach sleeping testers who weigh over 230 pounds and need maximal support, all of our testers found the Layla Essential provided a comfortable sleep experience.
Who Should Get It
The Layla Essential’s moderately contouring yet supportive medium firm (6) feel works well for most back and side sleepers as well as stomach sleepers under 230 pounds.
This bed strikes a good balance for sleepers who need substantial support from their mattress but prefer the body-hugging feel of a memory foam bed.
The Layla Essential works well for couples who need a bed that absorbs motion but doesn’t stifle movement during sex.

What Our Sleep Experts Say
“The Nectar might be my favorite memory foam mattress out there. The medium firm (6) feel and memory foam comfort system offers plush contouring that’s also supportive, whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach. Plus it’s hard to beat the price and Nectar’s 365-night sleep trial.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The Nectar Mattress is a medium firm (6) memory foam mattress that’s surprisingly supportive. While the bed’s all-foam construction works best for side sleepers and sleepers under 230 pounds, nearly all of our sleep testers enjoyed the body-hugging feel of Nectar’s cooling, contouring, and responsive foam layers. CertiPUR-US-certified materials, a 365-night sleep trial, lifetime limited warranty, and low price tag also make this bed an incredible value.
Who Should Get It
The Nectar Mattress eases tension in the hips and shoulders for side sleepers but works well for most sleepers under 230 pounds.
First time online mattress shoppers can rest easy and buy with confidence with Nectar’s 365-night sleep trial and limited lifetime warranty.
Excellent motion isolation makes this a great choice for couples who don’t want to wake up when their partner changes sleep positions or gets in and out of bed.

Price $1,004 – $2,143
The Sleep Doctor’s Discount:
30% off mattresses + 2 free pillows
Valid: 7/11 – 7/12
What Our Product Experts Say
“The Nolah Evolution 15 is a really robust hybrid. We noticed deep contouring from the stacked foam layers, resulting in a close cradle without too much sink, and the zoned coils provided plenty of pushback around the midsection to keep our bodies aloft.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why We Like It
Nolah’s Evolution 15 is a high-profile hybrid constructed with several foam layers over a zoned coil system. An open-cell composition helps the foam resist heat buildup, and each layer is progressively denser to reinforce the sleep surface as your body settles. You can choose from medium (5), medium firm (6), and firm (8) designs depending on your needs and preferences, but all three models offer a nice balance of cushioning, support, and responsiveness.
Who Should Get It
The Nolah Evolution 15’s deep foam layers create a comfortable cradling effect and the zoned coils push back against extra weight around the midsection, so this mattress should provide enough contouring and support for people with back pain.
Hot sleepers should appreciate the Evolution 15 because each comfort layer is made of open-cell foam, a material engineered to promote breathability, and the coils generate steady airflow throughout the interior.
While hybrids can be responsive, we didn’t notice much transfer when testing the Evolution 15 for motion isolation. This makes the mattress a good choice for couples.

-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The Novilla Bliss is a medium (5) all-foam mattress and an incredible value. This bed comes with a budget price and features that rival the top memory foam mattresses. It has a three-layer comfort system including gel-infused memory foam for pressure relief and a convoluted polyfoam layer to improve airflow. Novilla offers free shipping to the lower 48 states, a 30-night sleep trial, and a 10-year, limited warranty, and you can also choose from two heights.
Who Should Get It
We found the medium (5) feel and gentle support of the Novilla Bliss Mattress worked best for side and back sleepers under 130 pounds.
This bed comes with CertiPUR-US-certified foams, a memory foam comfort layer, solid customer service, and a bargain price tag, making the Novilla Bliss an excellent value for budget shoppers.
Sleepers who prefer the feel of memory foam with its deep contouring and pressure relief are going to enjoy the Novilla Bliss Mattress.

“Each item in Peacock Alley’s Clara collection consists of durable, breathable long-staple cotton in a silky-smooth sateen weave. This design allows the fabric to drape closely to your body without trapping too much heat or irritating your skin.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
We love the Clara Sateen Sheet Set for its cool, lightweight construction and exceptionally smooth hand-feel. Long-staple cotton composition helps ensure a decent lifespan. You can choose from six neutral colors, as well as twin, queen, king, and California king sizes. The fitted sheet’s 17-inch pocket depth is compatible with the majority of mattresses made today. Each component is fully machine-washable for quick and easy care.
Who Should Get It
We recommend the Clara Sateen Sheet Set to anyone who enjoys the drapey feel of soft, smooth bedding.
Long-staple cotton is a naturally breathable fabric, so these sheets and pillowcases should help hot sleepers stay cool while they sleep.
The fitted sheet can be used with any mattress up to 17 inches thick. This range includes many high-profile models that are too tall for standard-pocket sheets.

What Our Sleep Experts Say
“The Saatva Classic’s coil-on-coil design creates a lot of bounce on the surface, so the mattress is easy to move across, but the comfort layers cradle and cushion your body to alleviate pressure in sore spots. Both coil layers promote plenty of airflow, so the mattress should also sleep very cool.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The Saatva Classic uses an innovative coil-on-coil hybrid design with a reinforced perimeter to deliver a sleep surface that’s supportive and responsive. A dense foam pad rests beneath your lower back to prevent pain and pressure buildup along the spine. You can choose from three firmness levels depending on how much you weigh and which sleep position you prefer. Saatva sweetens the deal for shoppers with free White Glove delivery for all U.S. orders and a generous 365-night trial period for testing the Classic.
Who Should Get It
People who prefer bouncy mattresses should find the Saatva Classic sufficiently responsive and springy. This can be attributed to the dual-coil construction.
Air circulates freely throughout the Classic’s interior and the cover is composed of breathable cotton, so the mattress sleeps quite cool and is suitable for hot sleepers.
If you’re unsure which mattress firmness level is best, Saatva’s return policy allows you to exchange your initial choice for a softer or firmer model.

Save 30% on the Shredded Memory Foam Pillow
Valid: 7/11 – 7/13
What Our Sleep Experts Say
“This pillow from Sleep Is the Foundation allows you to unzip the cover and adjust how thick and firm it feels. We recommend this pillow to people who need a specific pillow loft to sleep comfortably, as well as anyone who is unsure which firmness level best meets their needs.”
-David Rubin, Head of Product Testing
Why It’s Great
The pillow contains shredded memory foam, resulting in a soft and squishy feel with even contouring around your head and neck. A liner pouch encases the fill, and the cover is made from a breathable blend of polyester and viscose. You can remove and unzip the pouch to add or remove fill. Sleep Is the Foundation sells extra fill in bulk whenever you need a replenishment. The company also offers the Gel Memory Foam Pillow, which is not adjustable but provides the same even contouring as its shredded counterpart.
Who Should Get It
The adjustable design means you can use this pillow in any sleep position, but this quality makes it especially appealing to combination sleepers who rotate through different positions during the night.
The foam contours closely to create a comfortable cradling effect that can be beneficial for people with constant neck pain.
Since the cover contains moisture-wicking viscose, heat buildup shouldn’t be a major issue for sleepers who normally find memory foam pillows too warm.

Save 20% on all Sleepyhead toppers

What Our Product Experts Say
“The Sleepyhead Copper Topper combines the deep, even contouring of adaptive memory foam with cooling materials to prevent heat buildup. This should be a good investment for anyone whose mattress feels too firm or heavily indented from prolonged use.”
-Garen Glazier, Product Tester
Why It’s Great
The topper’s solid foam core feels quite plush and squishy. You can feel the material responding slowly to your body as you get into bed, but the foam is dense enough to resist uncomfortable sinkage. The topper is available in four sizes ranging from twin to queen. You can also choose from a 2-inch or 3-inch profile for the twin XL topper, which is specifically designed for college students who live in dorms. Each order includes a 60-night trial period with free returns. Students and military personnel receive a discount on their Sleepyhead purchases.
Who Should Get It
The Sleepyhead Copper Topper offers the close conforming people often associate with memory foam, but shouldn’t overheat too much. This makes it ideal for hot sleepers and people who often sleep hot on solid foam surfaces.
College students can make their dorm bed a bit more comfortable with the Copper Topper. Outside sales periods, those with valid student IDs also qualify for a 10% discount on their purchase.
People with back and hip pain can benefit from the topper’s deep cushioning. A medium (5) feel helps ensure a balance of close contouring and even support.

It’s also one of the few beds you can buy online that comes with free White Glove delivery.

Where Are Mattresses on Sale During Prime Day?
Mattress sales are plentiful on Amazon.com during Prime Day, but many mattress brands and retailers now offer online sales on the same day to compete with Amazon. Some brick-and-mortar mattress stores may also schedule discounts and promotions to coincide with Amazon’s big sale. That’s why, if you want to get the best deal, it’s important to look beyond Amazon on Prime Day.
Buying From the Brand or Amazon: Which Is Better?
We generally recommend that you buy your bed directly from the mattress brand. Many brands offer their own sales and promotions on or around Amazon Prime Day. These sales can provide competitive pricing and may even match the prices found on Amazon.
Buying directly from the brand also usually means better customer service and direct communication with the manufacturer, which can be helpful if any issues arise. However, if you can find a better price or you need fast shipping, Amazon may be the better choice. Just remember to weigh the benefits of cost and convenience against the advantages of buying directly from the brand before making a decision.
Buying from the Brand
- You’re buying from a known, trusted seller
- Your new bed always comes with the company’s sleep trial and warranty
- Some brands may not run sales on Prime Day or offer price matching
- Shipping may take longer
Buying at Amazon
- Major sales on items like mattresses and the potential for even more savings with lighting discounts
- Free expedited shipping for certain products
- Some mattress brands sell through Amazon but you’ll need to confirm the seller
- You may not get the same sleep trial or warranty when buying through Amazon
Can You Get a Good Mattress at Amazon?
Yes, you can find a good mattress at Amazon. They offer popular mattress brands as well as budget options, especially during Prime Day. With benefits like expedited shipping and a wide range of models, Amazon can be a convenient and affordable place to shop, especially if you already have a Prime membership. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision when shopping for a mattress on Amazon.
Tips for Mattress Shopping at Amazon
- Keep an eye out for limited-time deals: “Lightning Deals” are limited-time, heavily discounted offers that happen on Prime Day. These deals typically last for a few hours or until the product sells out. Prime members typically get early access.
- Watch for third-party marketplace sellers: When shopping on Amazon, make sure you understand who you’re buying from. Some items are sold directly by Amazon while others are sold by third-party retailers using Amazon’s platform. A third-party retailer could be the mattress brand itself but that’s not always the case. Verify who the seller is, and check customer reviews if it’s a seller you aren’t familiar with.
- Review return and warranty information: Return and warranty policies can differ greatly depending on who you buy from. Pay close attention to who the mattress is sold or shipped by when buying on Amazon.com, as it may not come with the manufacturer’s return policy or warranty.
- Compare prices with the brand’s website: Make sure to compare prices between Amazon and a brand’s website. Amazon doesn’t always have the lowest price so it’s good to verify. Some mattress brands may also price match or have additional offers, coupons, or special discounts available, including for military, veterans, or students.
- Read third-party mattress reviews and compare brands: Customer reviews on Amazon can be helpful, but third-party mattress reviews on sites like Sleep Doctor can have more detailed, hands-on information about how a mattress feels and performs. You can also find more customer reviews on the brand’s website.
- Get an Amazon Prime membership with a free trial: If you don’t already have an Amazon Prime membership, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial to take advantage of exclusive deals on Prime Day. An Amazon Prime membership normally costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. The company also offers discounted memberships for qualifying students and recipients of certain government assistance programs, such as SNAP or Medicaid.
