14 Best Mattresses on Amazon

“This is the best mattress I’ve ever owned, hands down. We purchased this mattress in June 2017, and it has held up surprisingly well over the past year. We even moved it from our old home to our new home with no problems … Overall, we feel like this mattress is an incredible deal, and if it does ‘go bad’ in the future, we will likely purchase another, especially taking the price into consideration. My previous mattress was a spring mattress that I paid over $800 for, and I never felt I got my money’s worth for it, even though I used it for over ten years. It was not uncommon to wake up on the spring bed with back aches. With the Zinus mattress, it’s pretty rare. I realize that everybody has different expectations for their mattress, but I personally highly recommend this one!”

Best mattress for combination sleepers

Tuft & Needle Queen Mattress

“Most comfortable mattress I’ve owned. Firm, but not hard, and perfectly supportive. I have no complaints. I’ve owned this for ten months and haven’t noticed any sag in the mattress yet. Don’t hesitate with this mattress, and just get it. Life’s too short to waste on uncomfortable sleep.”

Best mattress for back and side sleepers

Signature Sleep Mattress, 12 Inch Memory Foam Mattress, Queen

“This seriously is an amazingly comfortable bed. I just moved, and after sleeping on an air mattress for three weeks, this was truly a godsend. I’m a side sleeper, and after having some pain in my shoulders from the air bed, this really helped cradle my joints. I can’t count how many times I would be lying in bed and just thinking of how thankful I was that I had this bed … Overall, the mattress itself (at its full size) is not heavy, so it is easy to move while changing the sheets. Can’t say how happy I am with this purchase.”

Best mattress for back pain

Live and Sleep Resort Sleep Classic, Queen

“This was my first-ever foam-mattress purchase, and I was quite nervous that I was making the wrong choice. Two months into sleeping on it every night and I am so happy. I have two bulging discs in my lower back and am overweight, which adds to my back pain, and this bed has finally given me a comfortable night’s sleep — every night! The mattress was easy to order, delivered quickly, rolled out and came to full size in one day, with no off-gassing and no smell whatsoever. It looks great, it feels great, and it works great. And the price was great, too.”

Best gel-infused memory-foam mattress

LUCID 10 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress — Queen

“Can’t sleep comfortably on any other mattress now. I thought this might be too good to be true because of the price, but I figured it was worth a shot. Ended up loving it. Keep in mind, this mattress is pretty firm since it has the cooling-gel layer. I love it that way, though, and it really helped me with my back. I used to wake up in pain almost every day, so I really needed this. My mom tried it and loved it, too, so we got one for the guest room in her house. Anyone who sleeps in it thinks it was expensive.”

Best hybrid mattress

Linenspa 8 Inch Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid Mattress — Queen

“I have owned memory-foam mattresses in the past and found them too spongy. I loved the feel, initially, but later found that a firmer mattress was more to my liking. In my advancing age, I don’t want to be in a situation where I need to be ‘peeled’ from my mattress. I liked the idea of having foam over springs; that would offer firmness and softness … The Linenspa hybrid mattress completely surpassed my expectations, and I’m simply astounded that such a quality and comfortable mattress can be had for [under $200]! The Linenspa mattress is by far the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever owned. I’m now a believer in the hybrid mattress, and plan to purchase another one for my son.”

Best firm memory-foam mattress

Modway Aveline 6” Gel Infused Memory Foam Queen Mattress

“It sounds crazy, I know, but this mattress is very firm. I bought one for my 7-year-old and even my husband loves it (he’s about 215 pounds). Even he doesn’t really sink down into the mattress, and it seems very supportive … I ordered a queen size for us and just ordered another twin size for my 11-year-old. If you don’t like firm mattresses, you won’t like this because it is very firm.”

Best cooling mattress

Dreamfoam Bedding Arctic Dreams 10-Inch Cooling Gel Mattress, Queen

“My boyfriend and I love our new mattress; compared to our old one, it is so much more comfortable. If you are someone who likes a harder, firmer mattress, this mattress is not for you. Neither my boyfriend nor I have ever been a fan of firm mattresses, so I’m glad this one ended up working for us. This mattress is just right. It’s not too soft where you sink in, but it feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud — and it does actually sleep a lot cooler than any other foam mattresses I have had in the past, so I think it’s safe to say the ‘cooling gel’ actually works! I highly recommend this mattress to anyone who isn’t fond of ‘firm,’ but still wants great back support.”

Best gel-infused mattress with pocket springs

Olee Sleep 13 inch Galaxy Hybrid Gel Infused Memory Foam and Pocket Spring Mattress (Queen)

“If you’re looking for a great deal, buy this mattress. It is very comfortable, quiet, and firm, but has a layer of softness at the top so that you do not feel the springs. I went from a memory-foam mattress to this mattress and my back has stopped hurting. Also, I used to sweat almost every night with my foam mattress, but with this I have not sweated at all (even though my current room is warmer than my previous).”

Best thin memory-foam mattress

LUCID 5 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress

“I just received this mattress a week ago and completely love it! It expanded quickly and the little bit of smell faded very quickly. It is thin, true to five inches; however, it provides a good and firm cushion that I really like. It fits very well on my platform bed and does not slip. Very great purchase for the price; I’ll be purchasing another for our truck-bed camping platform.”

Best mattress with quilted cover

Sleep Innovations Shiloh 12-inch Memory Foam Mattress With Quilted Cover

“Love, love, love it! This is the best mattress I’ve ever slept on — my husband also has to agree. The firmness is about medium-firm, and it takes about a day to fully expand. My husband moves a lot in bed, and with this mattress I can hardly feel him move compared to the spring mattress we had before. We’ve had this mattress for over a month now and we actually look forward to going to bed. I would definitely recommend this mattress. Great quality for a low price.”

Best mattress with zoned support

Casper Sleep Mattress — Queen

“My wife and I have owned our Casper since April 2015, and it is probably one of the best large purchases we’ve made in the span of our marriage. I will say, it is slightly firmer than I expected, however I can’t deny that I have slept better in these past months than I had for the years prior. As a rule, I sleep more soundly and through the night without waking up, and typically wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested. Believe the hype, we love this thing.”

Best mattress for people who toss and turn

Leesa Mattress, Queen

“My husband likes a hard mattress, and [I like] a softer one, but somehow this one suits us both perfectly. Love that there is basically zero motion transfer. I can get up to take care of our twins in the middle of the night without him even realizing I’ve left the bed. Not so with our old spring mattress. Also, the price was great compared to Leesa’s actual website. We did a ton of research before buying, and we allowed the recommendation of a dear friend to sway us to the Leesa instead of the Purple. I’m so glad we did. You will sleep like a baby.”

Best mattress with complimentary pillows

Nectar Queen Mattress and 2 Free Pillows

“I love the Nectar bed. Love it. Instructions good for opening and airing out; the foam smell was tolerable and was gone in a couple days; I loved the price. Two of us in our mid-60s were able to drag it upstairs (in its big duffel) and onto the bed frame. I was expecting it to be a little firmer than I liked, from the other reviews, and at first it seemed awfully firm. I lay on it a couple minutes and changed my mind. It was heavenly. Supportive but cushy. Perfect firmness for me. I get hot on a memory-foam mattress, even the really expensive ones, and after a full week of sleeping on the Nectar, I love it more than ever. No hot spots. No tossing and turning … The pillows stack perfectly and stay put when I want to read in bed or sleep with my head and shoulders elevated — and I don’t have to keep adjusting them, fluffing or folding over like I always did with regular pillows … Honestly, I can hardly wait to go to bed now, it’s so yummy.”
