If you want to take advantage of the best Prime Day deals to find an affordable mattress that doesn’t skimp on luxe quality, consider the Casper Element. The Element is essentially the “starter home” equivalent from the reputable bed-in-a-box company. And not only is the Casper Element available at an attractive price point, its standout features make it quite the steal. The Casper Element offers two foam layers, delivering medium-firm comfort and support. The top layer is made of Casper’s proprietary Airscape foam that uses an open-cell construction to limit heat retained by the foam. This layer is supported by the Casper’s high-density polyfoam base that gives the mattress its structure and durability.

Signature Design by Ashley Chime 12-Inch Medium Firm Memory Foam Mattress

Made by famed houseware company Ashley Furniture, the Ashley Chime has three foam layers, including a 2-inch memory foam comfort layer. The only main element that buyers should beware of is the lack of cooling technology incorporated into the build. However, that can always be mitigated with a crisp, cooling sheet set.

Nod by Tuft & Needle 6-Inch Queen Mattress

​​Material: Memory foam Firmness: Firm Customer Rating: 4.5/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 100 nights Warranty: 10-year Available Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king

Vibe 12-Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress

​​Material: Memory foam Firmness: Medium Customer Rating: 4.6/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 100 nights Warranty: 10-year limited Available Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king

The Vibe, a 12-inch memory foam mattress, is one of the more robust beds you can snag for a steal this Prime Day. The bed has a four-layer build — three foam support layers and a cooling gel memory foam top layer. Those with back pain will also get the added benefit of solid spine alignment: Reviewers said they felt the bed was comfy but sturdy enough to support the natural posture of the spine rather than allow the body to slump out of the spine’s natural S-curve.

Olee Sleep 10-Inch Omega Hybrid Gel Infused Memory Foam and Pocket Spring Mattress

​​Material: Hybrid (foam and coils) Firmness: Plush Customer Rating: 4.6/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 100 nights Warranty: 10-year limited Available Sizes: Full

Beds with gel-infused memory foam and coils are often deemed more cooling, which is precisely what Olee Sleep sought to deliver. You can score the hybrid bed for less than $350 on Prime Day.

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR Supreme 3-Inch Mattress Topper

​​Material: Memory foam Firmness: Medium Customer Rating: 4.2/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 30 days Warranty: 10-year limited Available Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king

The Tempur-Pedic brand is as synonymous with memory foam as a Post-it Note is to a sticky square of paper. A drawback of the brand’s history and esteem is that it charges a pretty penny for its mattress—the most affordable generally hover around $2,000 for a queen. However, you can experience Tempur-Pedic’s NASA-designed foam technology in the affordable form of a mattress topper. Reviewers said the topper adds excellent, luxurious-feeling pressure relief. And at 30 pounds, the topper is built to last.

Lucid 2-Inch Ventilated Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper

​​Material: Memory foam Firmness: Medium Customer Rating: 4.4/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 30 days Warranty: 3-year manufacturer defect Available Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, full XL, queen, king, California king

A mattress topper can provide the cradling, pressure relieving, and motion isolating benefits of memory foam. You get luxurious comfort, but your purchase is more sustainable and budget-friendly. Win, win. The main caveat with the ultra-affordable Lucid gel-infused topper, however, is it’s best used on a bed of at least minimum medium firmness. Otherwise, the topper is likely to make you feel as though you sink too far into your mattress, per reviewer feedback. Many reviews also noted that while the foam may be more cooling than typical memory foam, it still tends to stubbornly trap body heat.

Best Price 4-Inch Trifold Memory Foam Mattress Topper

​​Material: Memory foam Firmness: Medium Customer Rating: 4.5/5 Delivery: 2-5 business days Trial Period: 30 days Warranty: 3-year manufacturer’s warranty Available Sizes: Extra small, small, twin, twin XL, full, short queen, queen, king, California king

The folding design of this mattress topper makes it ideal for travel, camping, and accommodating guests in a home with small square footage. The Best Price mattress topper also has the reassurance of CertiPUR-US certified foams, plus a 3-year warranty from the manufacturer. Another big plus: Side sleepers reported sufficient pressure relief from the mattress, despite its humble size. Another great scenario for a mattress topper that can so seamlessly travel is for when you’re living in a home you’re renovating: While your California king is in storage as you redo the floors, easily fold out and sleep on this topper.

Type of Mattress

Memory foam: The memory foam mattress type, or an “all-foam” bed, constitutes the majority of the Prime Day deals we’ve rounded up. Beds that are 10 inches in thickness or more typically have at least three layers of foam: a durable base layer, transition layer, and soft top layer of foam. The biggest buyer beware with memory foam mattresses is their durability: Some beds, especially thinner ones, might suffer persistent sinkage, i.e., spots where the foam has stopped reforming. Innerspring: Old-fashioned innerspring mattresses were typically the most affordable. A simple build of intertwined coils was what gave the bed shape. Today’s innerspring mattresses are far more likely to be arranged rows of “pocketed” coils, or coils that are encased in fabric pockets. An innerspring mattress may lack comfort if the build doesn’t also include foam layers on top as hybrids do. You could, however, add a memory foam mattress topper. Hybrid: Hybrids combine memory foam with innerspring coils for a well-rounded bed build. The coils are the main support core, while one or more layers of memory foam constitute the top, comfort layers. Hybrids are typically the most expensive type of bed furnished by mattress brands.

Performance Factors

Set-up: How easily—or not—a bed is set-up is important to factor if you live alone. Fortunately, the beds on discount for Prime Day are some of the most lightweight and affordable, and thus, easy to set up. Pressure relief: A bed’s pressure relief can determine how you feel each morning, especially on the heaviest points of contact with the mattress, like hips, shoulders, and back. Look for a bed with well-regarded pressure relief if you often have aches and pains. Spine alignment: Sleepers who experience back pain should pay attention to how well or poorly reviewers regard the spine alignment offered by a bed. A bed that keeps your spine propped in its natural S-curve throughout the night is least likely to exacerbate back pain. Durability: When buying a new bed, you surely want to know how long it will last. Durability is a key factor if you want a bed to last for years and years, versus having a backup sleeping pad for guests or infrequent RV travel. Motion transfer: When solid, motion transfer is often praised (or begrudged, when it’s poor) by light sleepers. If you’re easily jostled awake by movement across the bed, be sure that reviews report low motion transfer — or alternatively, that they report high motion isolation. Temperature regulation: Night sweats are highly unpleasant to wake up to, and if it’s a regular occurrence, you’ll want a bed that sleeps cool. Look for beds with proprietary foams that can offer more cooling than standard memory foam, or beds with innerspring coils to add airflow. Responsiveness: A responsive bed is one that can quickly reform to accommodate position swaps at night. Sleepers who fall in the “combination” sleep position category should note if a bed is considered adaptive to change. Edge support: If a bed lacks edge support, you may have the unpleasant feeling of rolling off the bed the moment you veer too far from the center. Therefore, you’ll want to especially consider how well the edge support holds up if you sleep with a partner, or on a smaller size mattress.
