1. A green tea–infused mattress designed with a “pressure-relieving comfort foam layer” sure to ease your aching back into a comfortable position after you’ve spent the day bending over backwards at work.
This has over 18,000 five star reviews!
Promising review: “THIS 👏🏻 BED 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 JAM. First off, I’m a flight attendant. I sleep in a lot of hotel beds. I know what a good and bad bad feels like. THIS BED IS AMAZING. Feeling impartial about the nonconforming bed of the future? Think you’ll miss the springs? No way. I promise. I felt the same. I sat there for 36 hours straight watching this bed rise in my kitchen festering the idea that I made a mistake. What is this? Why does it have to rise? Who even am I right now? The instructions were like one sentence and I probably messed it up. Omg what if I messed up?! 2017 is weird, I hate this. I hate new things. JK NOPE. I HAVE NO REGRETS! This bed cured my boyfriend’s back pain. This bed cured my sleepless nights. MY PHAT @zz can sleep on my side without my spine feeling broken in half. I can sleep on my back or stomach no problem. I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night… Now I can’t wake up. We spent three days sleeping til 2pm. THIS BED IS THE DEVIL. But like a good devil that greets you with puppies and all things great in this world. This bed is the Oprah of beds. This bed is like getting a whole row to yourself on an airplane. THIS BED IS ALL YOU NEED IN THIS LIFE.” —Kimberly Wilkins
2. A medium-firm memory-foam and innerspring hybrid mattress that’s gonna help you hit the hay before you even start counting sheep.
Promising review: “I was skeptical about this bed, but I was wrong. This is so comfortable. It is firm enough for support, yet the memory foam makes it soft enough to take the pressure off my hips and shoulders; I’m a side sleeper. Now, all my kids want their beds replaced with this one too!” —Juliebird
3. A cool-sleeping Tuft & Needle mattress with sturdy, adaptive foam that’ll keep you from falling deep into your bed when you fall into a deep sleep.
Some reviewers mention a lingering packaging smell after opening. If you are sensitive to smells, just give this some time to air out before sleeping on it and you’ll be good to go!
Promising review: “I read most of the 10,000 reviews before buying this. I bought our last bed here on Amazon and it was great. This bed is better than great. The smell was gone in about three hours. It expanded in about 20 minutes to near full size and by bedtime it was in full form. It has firm edges that are very sharp and well shaped! Sleeping on it as a 270 pound 6 foot tall man, I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I have three bad disks and it has been hard to sleep on my side. This bed allowed me to sleep on my side! There are not hard spots or pressure points at all for me. I am amazed! This is totally worth the money. This is a superior bed and worth every penny!” —Nash Guide
4. A memory-foam mattress infused with charcoal and natural plant oil, meant to eliminate typical mattress odors. Anyone who had a used bed in their college dorm can tell you — falling asleep on a smelly mattress stinks, literally.
Promising review: “I very rarely write reviews (although I should), but I had to for this mattress. This is hands down the best thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon, and trust me, 90% of everything I buy comes from here. I love this mattress so much I swear I’ve become a pseudo brand rep for this company. For the first week it was all I could talk about. When we starting shopping for a larger bed, I did A LOT of research. I was also nervous because I’ve never bought a mattress without testing it in person, let alone one that comes rolled up in a box. My boyfriend is also very particular and likes a really soft bed while I like mine more firm. But let me just tell you, this mattress is everything it promises and then some. I kid you not, it is the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever owned. It is the perfect combination of soft yet firm. The fabric is so soft you could sleep on it without any sheets. You literally sink into the top like clouds. I’m not sure it’s possible, but my boyfriend might love this bed even more than I do.” —Madison
5. An eco-friendly memory-foam model with a firm design that’s gonna help you sleep peacefully no matter how much your partner tosses and turns.
Promising review: “If you are looking for a firm comfortable mattress, look no further. I am a side sleeper. Throughout the night I often awake and switch sides. This is the first time in my life (I’m 67 years old) that I have gone to bed on my right side and never woke up with the need to flip. This mattress is by far the best buy and quality for the money.” —Roland Rattee
6. A Casper mattress, the hype beast of sleep, with a top layer designed to minimize excess heat and high-density memory foam. Get yourself a Queen or King, you deserve to sleep like royalty.
Promising review: “After spending two years on a free memory foam mattress I got from a friend who was moving out of town, I decided that I’d had enough of tossing and turning, waking up tired and in pain. This Casper mattress was delivered on time, set up in a snap, and on the very first night I actually slept through without waking up. I had a couple of questions that I texted to the company, which were immediately answered. I have arthritic hips. And while this mattress is very supportive, it ‘gives’ at those pressure points. For this reason, I am not having to turn over a lot to relieve the pressure on my hips. I’m not getting out of bed in the morning sore and hobbling. No more waking up! No more fatigue. No more having to nap to fill up my sleep tank. Best of all, I had the assurance of the 100-day no-hassle return policy.” —Elizabeth
7. A medium-plush self-ventilating mattress with gel particles encased in its memory foam that’ll keep you cool even when the summer heat tries to melt you in your sleep.
Promising review: “This is the second one of these mattresses I have purchased for my home in the past several months. I LOVE IT! I ordered a queen size for a guest room, and realized that the mattress was better than the one I currently had in my own room. For the price…this completely took me by surprise. Coming from the mattress industry on both the retail sales AND manufacturing end, I am very familiar with this manufacturer and have purchased their products with confidence over the years. (Also check out their cool gel pillows… best I’ve ever used). For this price, I was expecting a great quality GUEST ROOM mattress, but what I got was a lush-feeling, top-of-the-line-feeling product.” —Nick
8. A low-VOC memory-foam bed-in-a-box model that’s gonna provide you with firm comfort and solid back support. You won’t need a beauty routine thanks to all the beauty sleep this is gonna give you.
Promising review: “I researched forever, and hemmed and hawed, and finally took the bite on this one. Queen 12-inch. Needed a mattress for the guest room. The price was great, fast delivery, nice quality if you like a firm mattress. No off-gassing. Expanded beautifully — to get the corners unfurled I had to unzip the casing it came in to give it some room.” —diane a.
9. A gel-infused, medium-firm mattress you and your K-9 will think is totally pawsome.
Promising review: “I LOVE this mattress so much. I even spent the second day with it in bed all day. Me and my dog, we feel like we are queens. Our favorite new place in the house. I sleep so much better and just sort of melt into it at the end of the day. Less tossing and turning, which I like a lot. I just want to be comfy. This has so far lived up to my hopes.” —Amazon Customer
10. A plush-as-can-be mattress made with conforming memory foam that’ll mold to the shape of your body, making every night in bed feel like a day at the spa.
Promising review: “I have diagnosed sleeping issues and according to my doctor my old mattress was NOT helping at all. I bought this memory foam mattress and, while I still have my sleeping issues, I am finally waking up fairly relaxed and refreshed in the morning. This mattress has made a significant positive difference in how I sleep and I could not be more pleased about having bought it. I highly recommend giving this mattress a try!” —pralfred
11. A gel-infused foam and spring hybrid for anyone who wants to fall asleep with some contoured support.
The springs are protected by multi-HD and memory foam layers designed to help them stay firm.
Promising review: “When I found this mattress, it was just about the best reviewed in any price range, plus it was EVERYTHING: individually wrapped coils, memory foam AND gel, plus 13 inches seemed nice and thick. So I ordered it. A year later I still cant say enough good things about it. If I’d paid a thousand bucks for it I would still be happy, but I didn’t, I paid $237!!! It’s as plush, but still very firm — you sink into the plush but are supported by the springs. We spend a LOT of time in bed, way more than the average person, and it’s standing up to it just fine. The springs provide enough bounce for sexy time, but I am still undisturbed when he gets out of bed. Well it is a little disturbing when I realize he isn’t in bed, because that’s how good it is, I never even feel him get up. The unboxing was extremely anticlimactic, but the bed? Jeez Louise, don’t look any further buy this one, for real.” —Bunny
12. An insultingly comfortable inflatable mattress that’ll *actually* feel like sleeping on a cloud, considering clouds are mostly air anyway.
Promising review: “I’m so impressed with the quality and comfort of this product. After my old air mattress finally tore, I did some research on what to buy next and i found King Koil. My wife and I, along with our kids, often visit relatives in NYC and Boston for overnight stays, and because of the limited space at their places coupled with the fact we have two very young children whom we sleep with when staying overnight at their place, a good portable air mattress is a MUST. I was expecting a good product. However, I wasn’t expecting it to be this comfortable. Sleeping on this mattress with my wife, two kids, and the occasional dog is a dream. I wished I had bought sooner as it would have saved me all those years of backaches. Highly recommend this product and am planning on buying a few more just to have for my overnight guests.” —gillee
13. A pocket-spring model with a comfort-firm feel for people who believe in embracing a classic mattress at a steal of a price.
Promising review: “I don’t even understand how an $85 mattress can be this comfortable, but somehow it is. After unwrapping it, it came to full size really quickly and had no odor. I have a crappy back and have woken up with less pain than with my Beautyrest Black mattress. I bought this as a temporary mattress since I’m living out of state for six months and almost got a topper at the time of purchase, but now I’m glad I didn’t. It doesn’t need a topper. As someone that prefers a soft mattress, but needs good support, this is perfect. Given the price and quality, it’s probably made with witchcraft and blood of the innocent. I’m okay with that.” —En_gris
14. A spring mattress with a foam layer that’s designed to minimize motion transfer. Parents, rejoice! You *can* get a full night of uninterrupted sleep, even with little monkeys jumping on the bed.
Promising review: “I cannot feel any springs while laying in it and my body leaves no indentations. I am extremely sensitive to chemical odors and this mattress has none. Zero. This is a quality mattress, great for every night use by a normal-sized adult. I spent $1,800 on sale for an inner-spring mattress on my queen-sized bed, and this mattress is every bit as good as that one. UPDATE: 14 months later, I just bought another of these mattresses. The one I bought last year remains in perfect form and is extremely comfortable.” —Deb
15. A gel memory-foam firm sleeper that comes encased in a washable cover and includes two free pillows, for anyone who knows that more is more.
Promising review: “We’ve had this mattress for a couple weeks now and it’s amazing. It is firm but the top layer is soft and cushy. It’s changed my quality of life for the better. I no longer wake up multiple times at night or have a sore back. I think this was a great buy for the price point. It came quickly and in excellent condition. It does have a little bit of a smell but it was definitely not very noticeable after the first 24 hours. We love this bed so much we are having a ‘lay in bed and Netflix’ day today. It’s heavenly.” —Mycal Walker
16. An encased-coil futon mattress that’ll out multi-task your mother. It can be used as a sofa (when friends are over), loveseat (when your boo is over), daybed (when nap time calls), or actual bed (when your best friend can’t deal with their roommate any longer).
Promising review: “This is my favorite purchase ever! I love this mattress. It fits perfectly on my futon frame and is ridiculously comfortable. After sitting on it one time I couldn’t convince myself to get up until the next morning. I’ve now had it around eight months and it is still like new.” —Beck
17. A responsive memory-foam mattress with a cover so super-soft, you’re gonna feel ~sheety~ covering it up with any bedding at all.
Promising review: “I like a firm mattress. I sleep on a Tempur-Pedic and love it. When I needed a new mattress for my guest room I saw this one and the reviews were so good that I had to try it. I slept several nights in the guest room to try it and it was very comfy. My son, who had back surgery a few years ago and only sleeps on a Tempur-Pedic, slept on it for a week and never complained. I didn’t tell him what I paid or how it was shipped, but simply said that I had replaced the mattress with a memory foam — but not a Tempur-Pedic. When I asked how he slept he said, ‘Great!’ I bought the 10-inch because in my reading, I saw somewhere that the 10-inch is firmer than the 12.” —DogsRGreat
18. And a foam crib and toddler mattress with a waterproof and hypoallergenic encasement that’s so easy to clean, both you and your kiddo are sure to sleep easy.
Promising review: “Bought this for my kid who seemed to think his crib was a trampoline every night at bedtime. Have only had it in the crib for a week, but what a difference. This does not bounce when he starts trying to jump on it, so no more nighttime trampoline. Also I have notice that he is going to sleep a lot faster on it. Normally he would be rolling around and changing positions for anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes when I would put him to bed. Since changing out the mattress we have had one night that he rolled around and was cranky for about 10 minutes. Even if he wasn’t actually sleeping any better, the end of the crib being a bounce house at bedtime is reason enough to give this five stars.” —Sowvietna
