9 hours ago

Although Amazon Prime Day is officially over, there are still some great savings up for grabs from well-loved brands. In fact, many of the best Prime Day mattress deals are still live, featuring extended markdowns on models we've personally tested and slept on. Our top pick for 2025, the Helix Midnight Luxe, is 24% off and the Big Fig Classic, one of our favorite beds for heavy sleepers, is 25% off. The Casper Original, another beloved bed that the brand no longer sells, is also 30% off on Amazon following its sales event—one of the lowest price we've seen all year.

There are thousands of mattresses to shop at the e-tailer, but we recommend sticking with reputable brands and checking the fine print to ensure brand-specific trial periods and warranties still apply. It's also worth noting some brands are running concurrent sales with Prime Day, like Nectar and DreamCloud. Keep in mind, though, that these deals likely won't last much longer—if you spot a mattress you like for a good price, it's best to shop now rather than later to avoid missing out. For specific mattress-buying advice to help find your ideal fit, read our guides to the best mattresses on Amazon and the best mattresses of 2025.

Amazon Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress (Queen)
Our top pick for the best mattress of 2025 is available on Amazon, and it's on sale for Prime Day. That said, if you're nervous about purchasing a mattress on Amazon, you can alternatively shop on the Helix site and use code FORBES27 at checkout for 27% off. This hybrid bed features a medium firmness that hits the sweet spot for most sleepers, plus optional cooling technology upgrades to help prevent night sweats. We recommend this bed for a wide variety of people: side, back and combination sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds and those who sleep with a partner (though it's great for solo sleepers, too).
Why It's A Good Deal: Although the Amazon price of the Helix Midnight Luxe dipped down $1,780 in June, it has yet to surpass 27% off in 2025—including during mattress-centric deals events like Memorial Day and 4th of July.
Another well-reviewed mattress from our sleep team, the Nectar Classic is the brand's entry-level model. While it doesn't offer frills like added cushion or extra cooling fibers, its medium-firm feel is ideal for back, stomach and combination sleepers. (That said, exclusive side sleepers under 150 pounds should consider a plusher version, like the Premier or the Luxe.) Like the Premier, featured above, the Classic comes with a 365-night sleep trial and forever warranty, but it's best to check with the brand to make sure these still apply with Amazon purchases. This bed is also available as a hybrid version, which is a combination of coils and foams, that's currently $799 for a queen. We recommend the latter for those who want more support—plus, hybrids tend to sleep cooler.
Why It's A Good Deal: While its price briefly plunged to $390 last November, this is the second-lowest price we've seen it listed for.
If you're a hot sleeper and need a moderate level of support from both springs and memory foam, you may find the Sapira Hybrid from Forbes Vetted editor-favorite brand Leesa to your liking. Also, it's discounted by $200 this Prime Day. This mattress is 11 inches thick and features perforated and pressure-relieving foams atop pocketed springs that naturally allow air to flow through.
Why It's A Good Deal: Although this mattresses was marketed down further earlier this week, it's still one of the lowest prices we've seen on this model since December 2024. If you're looking for something slightly thicker and more temperature regulating, however, the Leesa Sapira Chill (our pick for the best hybrid mattress overall) is currently on sale for 25% off on the brand's website.
Although the Casper Original memory foam mattress has been replaced by the newer Casper One on the brand's website, it remains available on Amazon—and we've spent a lot of time with it in order to write up our full review. The verdict? It's a worthy contender for those who want a memory foam mattress at a fair price. It's also 30% off this Prime Day.
Why It's A Good Deal: This mattress was listed for a few dollars less earlier this week; however, it's still one of the lowest price we've seen for this mattress on Amazon in 2025.
We've evaluated beds from Zinus to determine our list of the best mattresses on Amazon and found that the brand's extremely affordable prices belie its models' effectiveness. With a medium feel that's particularly supportive for side sleepers, the Zinus Cloud includes four foam layers engineered to relieve pressure points. And at less than $300 during Prime Day, it's one of the best values you'll find for a memory foam mattress that's fiberglass-free and backed by third-party safety certifications like CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex 100.
Why It's A Good Deal: This bed dipped to its lowest price ever during Prime Day and though it's now inched back up toward its average sale price, it's still 30% off right now.
Sealy is a well-known name in mattresses, and we've tested a number of the brand's beds (both from the original brand and its Cocoon collection). You can find a handful of Sealy beds on Amazon, including the Dreamlife, which is designed with a layer of cooling gel memory foam that contours to your body and relieves pressure. This bed offers a medium feel, making it a solid choice for back, side and combination sleepers.
Why It's A Good Deal: Because of their larger dimensions, king-size mattresses are generally among the most expensive beds you can buy. That said, this Amazon deal significantly cuts that price down; it's the lowest we've ever seen for this bed.
Plush and pressure relieving, the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid is the best soft mattress we've tested in 2025. It has a doughy, memory foam-like feel that doesn't trap you in bed—it's a little bouncy and responsive thanks to its coils underneath. These qualities make it a nice option for many side and back sleepers, as well as individuals with shoulder and hip pain concerns. It's also fairly cooling, thanks to its numerous temperature regulation features, hence the 'mint' in its name.
Why It's A Good Deal: Although this isn't the lowest price we've seen on the Mint Hybrid, the current Amazon sale offers significant savings on one of the best mattresses currently on the market. You can also get the same deal on the Tuft & Needle website.
The Serta Perfect Sleeper is available in both medium and firm options on Amazon, with the firm being at the steepest discount. This mattress features stronger coils around the perimeter and in the center of the bed, offering you extra support where you need it most. Though there aren't many reviews on Amazon, you can read more on Serta's site. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman has tested models from the Perfect Sleeper collection and found them to be a great value.
Why It's A Good Deal: This mattress was previously more than half off during Amazon Prime Day, but you can still save more than $200 with this current discount. It's also the second lowest Amazon price we've seen for this bed.
The Serta Five Star Collection is a newer launch from the brand. You can choose from different heights and firmness levels along with the option to have a pillow top. Though our team hasn't tested them yet, these mattresses have already received a lot of positive reviews online—and we find Serta Simmons, the parent company, to be reputable.
Why It's A Good Deal: This mattress line launched this spring, so it doesn't have an extensive price history. That said, this is the first time we're seeing it discounted this low.
Like the Casper Original, this mattress was discounted and replaced with the newer Casper One; however, it's still available on Amazon and earned more than 4,000 5-star reviews from satisfied customers. Thanks to its medium feel and solid motion isolation abilities, this mattress is a great option for many back and side sleepers, as well as couples who share a bed with a restless partner or pet.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon in 2025.
Tuft & Needle is a popular bed-in-a-box brand and the Hybrid model packs in all the features we llike about its flagship model with more support. With its hybrid design (foam and steel coils) and accommodating medium feel, a wide variety of people can sleep comfortably on this bed, especially combination sleepers who regularly toss and turn.
Why It's A Good Deal: This discount saves you over $300, cutting the average price of this bed down by 25%. The brand's website is also currently listing a similar price for the Tuft & Needle Original Hybrid.
Cool Gel is a top-rated brand on Amazon with over 54 thousand reviews and an approved choice from our editors. The company's 14-inch memory foam mattress earns high marks for its ample pressure relief and support, but it also comes in a 10- and 12-inch version, which we recommend to sleepers who live with joint or back pain—these models are currently on sale, too.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest Amazon price we've seen for this mattress in 2025.

When you're searching Amazon Prime Day mattress deals, you typically encounter two main types of beds—hybrid and foam. Below, we take a closer look at each type, weighing their advantages and disadvantages for different types of sleepers. Memory Foam Mattresses
As one of the most popular mattress types on Amazon, memory foam beds have a substantial following thanks to their ability to contour to your body and ease pressure build up around sensitive joints—the latter makes it a great option for sleepers seeking pain relief. Memory foam also excels at motion isolation, meaning it can limit how much movement travels across the bed. This makes it a good choice for couples, especially those who frequently toss and turn. That said, the material tends to sleep warmer than its hybrid counterpart. Hybrid Mattresses
Another common mattress type on Amazon, hybrid beds combine layers of foam and springs to create a balanced feel that's equal parts supportive and cushioned. Due to their accommodating comfort, a wide variety of sleepers can find something to enjoy about these beds. They're more breathable and bouncy than memory foam mattresses, making them a preferred choice for hot sleepers, as well as people who like to feel like they're sleeping on top of the bed rather than sinking into it. They're often more durable than memory foam options, but they also tend to be more expensive.
Do Mattresses Go On Sale During Prime Day?
Yes, mattresses are included in Amazon's Prime Day sales event. During and after the sale, you can find impressive deals on select models from popular brands including Purple, Casper, Nectar and Helix, all of which are delivered directly to your door.
What Is The Best Month To Buy A Mattress?
The best month to buy a mattress is typically May, as many retailers slash prices as they prepare to roll out their new inventory in June. However, major shopping holidays including President's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day—and yes, even Amazon Prime Day—are a great time to snag a high-quality mattress for less than its usual listing price.
Is Amazon A Good Place To Buy Mattresses?
If convenience is your top priority, then Amazon is a great place to buy a mattress. Many models can be securely delivered in just a few days, thanks to Prime shipping. Shopping on Amazon also makes it easy to quickly compare options from multiple brands. Just keep in mind that mattress warranties can differ when you purchase through Amazon instead of directly through the brand.
What Is The Highest Rated Mattress On Amazon?
Right now, the highest-rated, top overall pick and best-selling mattress on Amazon is the Zinus 12-Inch Cooling Comfort Hybrid Mattress. As a hybrid with a medium feel, composed of both coils and foam layers, and also infused with cooling gel, it's an affordable option with wide-ranging appeal. It's earned both CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifications, so it's also constructed from safe materials with no harmful chemicals.
