Memorial Day mattress deals

Deals on memory foam mattresses 

Memory foam mattresses are typically the least expensive to shop. They're comprised of multiple layers of foam, ideal for those who like that sinking-in feeling. They tend to be softer than innerspring options, but provide excellent pressure relief and motion isolation. Here are the top memory foam mattresses on sale today.

Deals on hybrid mattresses 

Hybrid mattresses are the most popular option to shop these days. They combine the pressure-relieving properties of memory foam with the cooling abilities of an innerspring, capturing the best of both worlds. They tend to be the most expensive mattress type, but for most sleepers, they're also the perfect option.

Deals on innerspring mattresses 

The innerspring mattress has come a long way in the past 15 years. Most don't even require box springs anymore! An innerspring mattress is made entirely with coils, some topped with a memory foam topper or plush grid to make it feel just a bit softer to the touch. They tend to be on the firmer side and have less motion isolation (meaning you'll feel your partner move just a bit more than normal), but they're also more cooling than a memory foam bed.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy a mattress?

You can by a mattress at a mattress store, or via on online store. At a mattress store you can try out the mattresses in person, but with a mattress in a box, you often get a sleep trial where you can try it out for real.

Is a $1000 mattress worth it?

Yes, a $1,000 mattress is often worth it. Many mattresses go on sale for below $1,000 which is a good time to buy. All types of mattresses can be found for this price.

Is $500 a good price for a mattress?

$500 mattresses can be decent, but they may not last as long as mattresses at a higher price point. If you have back pain or other aches and pains, you may find a $500 mattress doesn't quite cut it.

What is the cheapest but best mattress?

Casper, Lull and Nectar offer affordable mattresses under $1,000. These often come with a sleep trial so that you can try out the mattress for a few months before fully committing.
