Use code PDS25 Get 25% off our favorite mattresses at checkout. Helix Midnight Luxe often comes around at this price, but it does go up in price. It comes with two pillows, a mattress protector and a set of sheets. It works well for all sleeping positions, even for stomach sleepers. We tried the medium-firm Midnight Luxe model, but there are a few other versions of the Luxe line available for different firmness levels and sleeping positions. This promotion ends on February 29th.
Leesa’s Sapira hybrid is our runner-up choice. We’ve seen it drop to $1,392, but it doesn’t go on sale that often at all. It’s not as luxurious as the Helix, but we kept coming back to it during testing because of its soft yet sturdy feel. The top layer of foam is nice and cool. This promotion ends on February 27th.
Use code PDS25 Get this discount and two free pillows.Even with 25% discount, Helix Elite still Very Pricey, but this is a great bed. It has nine layers of foam, while the Luxe has six layers and is 16 inches thick. Due to the size, it comes in two boxes and you need to zip the two parts together and then place them on the slatted bed frame. As with the Luxe, there are a variety of options depending on your preferred firmness level and sleeping position. We tried the softest one and it put us to sleep peacefully. This promotion ends on February 29th.
Best Organic Mattress Deals
The Birch Luxe Natural is our runner-up organic mattress. We haven’t seen it hit its $3,249 MSRP yet, but that price is in line with what we saw on Cyber Monday. It’s medium-firm with structured support to suit different sleeping positions, and the pillow top features a layer of cashmere blend to help regulate temperature. It is GOTS certified, uses natural latex and does not contain polyurethane foam. This promotion ends on February 29th.
Wired senior writer Scott Gilbertson said he initially started researching organic mattresses so his kids could sleep on a mattress that felt good to him. Our other options are pricey, but if your child sleeps in a double bed, this is an affordable option. The price of the Kiwi has dropped to $649, but it’s normally selling for $719, so now is a good time to get it. It’s made from certified organic cotton, wool and latex. This promotion ends on February 27th.

This price is for the ultimate level of support among the plush pillows we’ve tried, but there are more customization options available. Most modern mattresses come folded up in a box, but this is an innerspring, so you’ll need to arrange delivery. It comes from a well-known brand that has been making mattresses for a long time, and we found it to be the perfect balance between soft and supportive.
Considering the price of most mattresses, it’s easy to choose the cheap one. But there aren’t many cheap good mattresses, and this Linenspa is no exception. If you can, save up and buy something that will last and won’t aggravate your back problem. However, if you need something cheap right now, this mattress is comfortable enough. All I know is that the edge support is uneven and the springs are a little squeaky.
The Nolah Evolution is great for side sleeping. It’s often on sale, but its price does go up before it’s available on Amazon. Now is not a good time to buy, but if you want to wait, you may see this price again. We did find that it took a full two weeks to break in, as it initially felt like a stuffed balloon. But our testers said that by the end of the month, they didn’t want to give up. High-density foam and heavy-duty coils help support and align your spine.
We have a separate mattress guide on Amazon, and DreamCloud is our runner-up. The price dropped $15 earlier this week, but the deal remains solid. It’s luxurious, with eight layers of foam, coil springs, and a cashmere-blend quilted pillowcase. It has a medium-firm feel and is suitable for side and back sleepers. But it lacks edge support.
The discount is automatically applied to your cart during checkout. Keetsa is another honorable mention in our guide. Our testers weren’t blown away by it, but it’s very creamy and soft without feeling too overpowering.
This is one of our favorite organic mattresses. It’s composed of layers of latex and natural foam for a supportive feel. The bed is available in four different firmness levels.
The sale ends tonight and the price is $50 lower than last year’s holiday shopping season. Our affordable latex mattress selection is both supportive and springy, with little to no motion transfer. It also smells less off-gassing than other beds in a box we’ve tried. Note that you can feel the springs more and the edges of the bed are very firm compared to the sleeping surface.
Looking for a firm mattress? This earned an honorable mention from our testers. Note that it’s 30% off, so it’ll be cheaper earlier in the week, but if you like this bed, this deal is still available. It comes in three different hardness levels, and we tried the highest one. The mattress is cool and firm. Top layers can be slippery, so consider using sheets with straps to avoid endless adjustment cycles, especially if you have a platform bed frame. This promotion ends on February 27th.

This price is for a package including bed linen. Note that entering the coupon code at checkout is tricky—the field is at the top of the page instead of the typical right side. This is a great deal on some of our favorite percale sheets. They soften over time and remain in good condition even after years of use.
These premium flannel sheets feel softer to the touch than other flannel sheet sets we tested. They’re cozy and warm, and they get softer and softer with every wash. This promotion ends on February 25th.
The discount is small, but still there. We absolutely love these GOTS certified sheets. They are cotton but feel like sleeping on silk or satin. Note that they sleep quite warm compared to other cotton sheets we’ve tried.
