Don't wait for Prime Day to start — 3 queen mattresses under $160 on Amazon now
Choosing the best mattress for your sleep needs means considering your budget, preferences and sleep position. Generally, we suggest upping your budget to invest in a durable mattress that stays comfortable for longer.
However, if you're looking for a guest room bed or a temporary mattress, these budget-friendly brands are great options. They're also ideal for a dorm room, if you're heading to college in a few weeks.
While we expect to see even more deals in the upcoming Prime Day mattress sales, these already-live mattress sales under $160 are too good to miss. Check them out and see if any suit your sleep.
1. 10" EgoHome Memory Foam mattress: Queen was $205.59 now $151.32 at AmazonThis all-foam mattress is made up of four layers, starting with a soft fabric cover, then a fiberglass-free inner cover, a green tea gel memory foam layer and a high-density durable base foam. Gel memory foam is better than traditional foam at dissipating body heat and the green tea infusions are designed to keep the bed fresher for longer. While it won't compare to this year's best cooling mattresses, it's a great choice for those living in hot climates or who naturally sleep warm. Currently, there's 26% off, taking a queen down to $151.32 (was $205.59). Like many cheap mattress options, there isn't a sleep trial or warranty advertised.
2. GAESTE 8' Queen Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress: Queen was $229.98 now $159.98 at AmazonSporting an 'Amazon's Choice' label and a 4.5 star rating from over 2,600 reviews, this mattress is a true crowd pleaser, all while costing only $159.98 in the Amazon sales (was $229.98). Like many of the best Amazon mattresses, this bed is made of two simple layers: two inches of gel memory foam, and six inches of durable base foam. While we'd usually suggest buying a mattress with at least a 10' thickness, many customers report the eight inch design offers great pressure relief. However, it's unlikely to last as long as a taller mattress. With a zip cover that can be put in the washing machine, the GAESTE is a great option for a low-maintenance guest room mattress. Like EgoHome, the brand don't appear to offer a sleep trial or warranty.
3. Best Price Mattress 10' Queen Mattress: Queen was $219.99 now $151.59 at AmazonThe Best Price memory foam mattress stands at 10' tall, with a similar three layered structure to both of the above mattresses. And like the EgoHome, it also incorporates green tea into its foams for added freshness. Despite the low price you can rest assured knowing that the foams used are Certi-PUR US certified, meaning they have been screened for any toxic materials. The brand also boasts an OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certification, ensuring that every part of the mattress is safe and non-toxic. While customers do report strong off-gassing, it's praised for its soft, pressure-relieving feel. It's unlikely to be as supportive as our top picks in this year's best memory foam mattress guide, but with a queen just $151.59 and a 10-year warranty, we think it's a solid, low-budget option.

US retail sales increase solidly in July
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. retail sales increased solidly in July, boosted by strong demand for motor vehicles as well as promotions by Amazon and Walmart, though a softening labor market and higher goods prices could curb growth in consumer spending in the third quarter. Retail sales rose 0.5% last month after an upwardly revised 0.9% gain in June, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales, which are mostly goods and are not adjusted for inflation, advancing 0.5% after a previously reported 0.6% rise in June. Part of the rise in retail sales last month could be due to tariff-driven price increases rather than volumes. A rush to buy battery-powered electric vehicles ahead of the September 30 expiration of federal government tax credits helped to drive automobile sales in July, analysts at J.P. Morgan said. Amazon and Walmart held sales promotions last month to lure inflation-weary consumers with deep discounts, including on back-to-school essentials. Amazon extended its sales window to 96 hours, up from the typical 48, featuring aggressive promotions on categories ranging from apparel to electronics. But downside risks to consumer spending are steadily rising. Middle- and higher-income households are mostly driving spending. Bank of America Institute said an analysis of deposit data showed a widening in the wage gap between lower-income and higher-income households, an indication the labor market "appears to have deteriorated most significantly for lower-income workers." It said while lower-income households might not be losing their jobs, "soft labor demand is pressuring their pay and they are potentially working fewer hours." Retail sales excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services increased 0.5% last month after an upwardly revised 0.8% rise in June. These so-called core retail sales, which correspond most closely with the consumer spending component of gross domestic product, were previously reported to have gained 0.5% in June.

Better Growth Stock to Buy Right Now: Amazon or Alibaba?
Key Points Alibaba's stock is outperforming Amazon's this year, but Amazon's revenue and earnings growth are stronger. Both Amazon and Alibaba should have strong growth prospects. Alibaba is the clear winner when it comes to valuation. 10 stocks we like better than Alibaba Group › When a company is compared to Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), it's usually a compliment. I suspect, therefore, that the executives running Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: BABA) don't mind it too much when their company is called the "Amazon of China." Amazon's and Alibaba's businesses are remarkably similar. Both operate e-commerce platforms that dominate their target markets. Both are leading cloud service providers and have invested heavily in artificial intelligence (AI). Each of the two companies has expanded into digital entertainment and healthcare as well. The comparisons don't hold up as well when it comes to stock performance, though. Amazon has delivered a jaw-dropping return of over 226,000% since its initial public offering (IPO) in 1997. Since Alibaba's IPO in 2014, its stock has risen by only around 30%. But which of these two growth stocks is the better pick right now? Here's how Amazon and Alibaba stack up against each other. Current growth While Amazon's stock performance has trounced Alibaba's over the long term, it's a different story more recently. So far in 2025, Alibaba's American depositary receipts have soared close to 50% while Amazon is barely in positive territory. However, Amazon is growing faster than Alibaba in at least one way. In the second quarter of 2025, Amazon's net sales jumped 13% year over year. Alibaba's revenue in its latest reported quarter increased by 7% year over year. It was a similar story on the two companies' bottom lines. Amazon's net income soared 35% year over year, while Alibaba's adjusted earnings grew by 22%. Granted, Alibaba's earnings based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) skyrocketed by 13 times. However, this increase was primarily due to mark-to-market changes from its equity investments. Growth prospects The more important question is how much Amazon and Alibaba will continue to grow in the future. What is Wall Street's take? The consensus revenue growth estimate for Amazon next year is nearly 10%, compared to 8.3% for Alibaba, according to LSEG. But analysts are more optimistic about Alibaba's earnings growth. The average estimate of the 29 analysts surveyed by LSEG is for the Chinese company to increase its earnings per share by roughly 20% next year. The average estimate of the 61 analysts surveyed by LSEG that cover Amazon is for the e-commerce and cloud services giant to grow its EPS by around 14.8%. Looking beyond one year is more difficult. Both Amazon and Alibaba should have strong AI tailwinds that help their cloud businesses. However, both companies also face intense competition from rivals with deep pockets. Probably the biggest wild card is how the Chinese government's actions might impact Alibaba's growth. Valuation There's not much of a contest between these two growth stocks when it comes to valuation. Alibaba wins hands down. Amazon's shares trade at a lofty forward price-to-earnings ratio of 33.4. Alibaba's forward earnings multiple is only 14.3. The Chinese tech giant also looks more attractive than Amazon in valuation metrics based on sales and book value. What if growth is factored into the equation? Alibaba still comes out on top. Its price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio based on analysts' five-year earnings growth projections is 1.28, versus 2.57 for Amazon. Better growth stock? Which is the better growth stock -- Amazon or Alibaba? I have a nuanced answer. If you're a more risk-averse investor, Amazon is probably the better pick. The company doesn't face the uncertainty related to potential Chinese government interference that Alibaba does. On the other hand, if your investing style is more aggressive, I think Alibaba is the better growth stock for you. Its growth drivers are similar to Amazon's, but its valuation is much more appealing. I like Amazon's prospects, but I suspect Alibaba has even more room to run over the next decade.
