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.

Amazon.com seeks to end lawsuit claiming rice contaminated by heavy metals
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) - urged a federal judge to dismiss a proposed class action over its alleged sale of rice tainted by arsenic and other "heavy metals," denying the accusation it fraudulently concealed contamination. In a filing late on Friday in Seattle federal court, Amazon said the presence of heavy metals in rice was a "decades-old, well-known issue" that was easy to discover, and the plaintiffs did not claim there were more metals than regulators allowed. Amazon also said Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act shields online platforms from liability over content from third parties, such as rice sellers. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond on Tuesday to requests for comment. The lawsuit on May 23 covered 18 types of rice sold through Amazon, including from brands such as Ben's Original and Amazon-owned Whole Foods' 365. Plaintiffs Ashley Wright and Merriman Blum said they would not have bought or would have paid less for their Iberia basmati rice, one of the products, had they known it was contaminated or Amazon never tested it for heavy metals. Exposure to heavy metals has been associated with nervous system problems, immune system suppression and kidney damage. It has also been associated with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in young children. The lawsuit followed a study by the nonprofit Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, which found arsenic in all 145 rice samples purchased nationwide, cadmium in all but one sample, and lead and mercury in more than one-third of tested samples. The case is Wright et al v Inc, U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, No. 25-00977.

MacBook sale: deals from $799 @ AmazonI've been a Mac user all my life and I don't think I've ever seen a sale this amazing. Right now Amazon has MacBooks (M4) on sale from $799. It includes the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) and the 15-inch MacBook Air (M4) on sale for $799 and $999, respectively. Those are the cheapest prices I've seen for these powerful laptops all year. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price. Everyone needs a reliable t-shirt, and this one from Carhartt definitely fits the bill. It's made of 100% heavyweight cotton and comes in a range of bright, cheerful colors. There's also a pocket with the Carhartt logo on the left side for a touch of extra style. This tee will be the perfect addition to your wardrobe. The soft shirt is made of rib-knit and it also features a cool script Carhartt logo front and center. There's a few different colors available but the blue color that's pictured features the deepest discount. Need a new hat for the trails? The Arc'teryx Bird Word trucker hat is made with breathable mesh panels and a soft, quick-drying headband that will keep your head feeling airy and dry.

It comes with a detachable keyboard and a stylus to sort a variety of work styles. We're also fans of its sharp 2K display. On the inside, it sports a MediaTek Kompanio processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, so you'll want to use it for basic, Web-based tasks only. The MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good check: sold out @ Best Buy | sold out @ Amazon This is one of the best Copilot+ PC deals available! This 15.6-inch laptop features an Intel Core 7 CPU for impressive performance and power efficiency, complemented by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

They feature a contoured footbed that makes them comfy to walk in, and a hook-and-loop bandage upper dries quickly. Additionally, they complement everything perfectly. These super-comfy wedges give you some extra height to elevate your style! The Getaway flip flops also come in a bunch of fun colors, so you could even get a few pairs to match up with all your favorite outfits. I love every color these Crocs sandals come in, so this deal is tough to resist. They have adjustable straps at the back and platform soles to give you some extra height. You can add Jibbitz charms across the upper, too. Our Adidas Ultraboost 5 review called these "a standout option for those who want a good-looking shoe for general use as well as running." We loved their stylish design, grippy soles and smooth-feeling, comfortable foam stack. The Ghost 16 is one of the most popular shoes you can get from Brooks, thanks to its lightweight cushioning with improved midsole foam compared to its predecessor. This shoe is great for long runs or walks, or for simply throwing on to run errands. In the market for a new training shoe? The Brooks Hyperion is one of the lightest options when it comes to running shoes. It's perfect for speedy training days thanks to ultralight cushioning and an updated design that accelerates your heel-to-toe transition to propel you forward. Be sure to check all the colors, as many sizes are already sold out. If you need a little extra support from your sandals, this pair is the way to go. Featuring three oversized, adjustable buckles and a slingback strap, you'll get an enhanced fit with targeted contouring and cushioning in the footbed. Now priced at $124, this is the lowest prices we've seen on the Asics Gel-Kayano 31. The latest model in Asics' popular stability line keeps much of the design from the Gel-Kayano 30, with subtle updates including a more breathable upper and a new outsole material. The men's version is also discounted to $124. There are a couple of sizes of the Auburn | Frost color of the Cloudsurfer that are down to $110, but you have more choice in sizes with the Iron | Glacier color, which is reduced to $125. The Cloudsurfer is a comfortable daily trainer with a great rocker that rolls you through your footstrike smoothly. The downside to this shoe is that it can sometimes squeak, which didn't bother me but can make you feel a little conspicuous on the run. The Cloudboom Echo 3 is a specialist racing shoe that has a carbon plate and a high stack of springy foam in its midsole. It's fast and fun to run in, though not one that's stable or comfortable enough to use for easy daily training — save this one for your speed session and races. Given that carbon super-shoes usually cost you well over $200, this is great deal for those in need of a new racer. Arc'teryx's Sylan running shoes are engineered for trail running, combining freedom of movement and durability that ensure good performance even on the most rugged terrain. The dual-density midsole is great at absorbing shock while providing responsive rebound. ^ Back to top College Essentials: spend $100, get 20% off @ AmazonThe Amazon "Off to College" store is taking 20% off your order when you spend $100 or more on select dorm room essentials. The sale includes organizers, kettles, mattress toppers, backpacks, and more. Items start from as a little as $6. The Swiffer PowerMop is an easy way to take care of random cleanups.

That's why this electric kettle is a total necessity for your dorm room. This high-quality kettle made by Cosori features a blue LED indicator light to let you know when your water is ready. It also boils your water in 3-7 minutes — so you can also make your morning coffee, tea and oatmeal in no time.

It's under 5 inches wide and can fit a travel mug up to 7 inches tall under its spout, making it great for busy students or professionals who need speedy coffee they can take and brew anywhere.

It features nine speeds and six modes, and has a built-in 12-hour timer. What's more, you can customize it via the Dreo app, and it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. ^ Back to top Wireless earbuds have come a long way, and now, you can get a solid-sounding pair of buds for under $25. While not all budget earbuds are up to par, the JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are an ace pick. They got a 4-star rating in our Jlab Go Air Pop review for their satisfying sound, 7-hour battery life and IPX4 water resistance rating. Our Soundcore Liberty 4 NC review said these earbuds have "shockingly great sound." They also have effective active noise canceling on board, as well as Spatial Audio support and and EQ customization. We rank them as one of the best cheap wireless earbuds on the market. The AirPods 4 boast a new design, which Apple has refined with "50 million data points" to create the most comfortable AirPods yet. They also feature Apple's H2 chip, which delivers clearer calls with Voice Isolation, and a new, hands-free way to interact with Siri. The AirPods 4 also have USB-C charging and include up to 30 hours of listening time. In our AirPods 4 review, we said the Editor's Choice earbuds bring Apple's wireless earbuds lineup into the modern day with Pro-level features for less. Yes, there's a newer model of these headphones, but we called the original OpenRun Pro the ultimate bone conduction headphones for athletes thanks to their competitive sound, barely-there feel, and amazing 10 hours of battery life. They earned a near-perfect score in our Shokz OpenRun Pro review. The Xtreme 4 is the GOAT of portable speakers. In our JBL Xtreme 4 review, we said the Editor's Choice speaker offers excellent bass, party mode, and a terrific design. Its IP67 rating also helps protect it against water or dust. At 4.6 pounds it's not something you'll want to carry all day, but its performance is unrivaled. ^ Back to top Keep all your essential close by and secure with the help of this belt bag that includes several interior pockets and an outside zipper. Perfect for simply heading out of the house or your next big adventure, you can wear the bag around your waist or as a stylish crossbody bag. With an eye-catching two-tone design, this Adidas bag can carry a 15-inch laptop and offers a whole host of zippable pockets, as well as space for up to two 32 oz water bottles which makes it ideal for the gym, too. The Mantis Backpack is lightweight, durable, and offers a 26-liter capacity. Its water repellent finish repels moisture and it has an inner sleeve for a laptop or hydration bladder (not included). We also like its adjustable sternum strap and removable waistbelt. ^ Back to top

EcoFlow 1800W Battery Powers 15 Devices at Once, and It's Now at a Record Low on Amazon
Portable power stations have proven to be incredibly popular in the summer because they enable you to have all your gear charged wherever you go. Whether you're throwing a party in the backyard, driving across the country in a van, or camping deep in the woods off the grid, these handy devices provide for your devices never being without juice. And then during the winter, they're a lifesaver during blackouts. Amazon is packed with options, but EcoFlow is the top name worldwide for consumer power stations. Its top-selling unit is the Delta 2 and it offers the optimum blend of price and performance – especially now that its price has been slashed to an all-time low of $499 from $699. There's also an EcoFlow bundle that includes the Delta 2 power station and a 220W solar panel, currently 40% off at $799 instead of $1,299 (and it's our top pick). See Delta 2 at Amazon See Delta 2 + 220W Solar Panel at Amazon The EcoFlow Delta 2 is powered by a 1024Wh LiFePO4 battery which gives you sustained power in an incredibly compact design. It can provide up to 1800 watts of output via its AC outlets, so you can power most domestic appliances that are commonly plugged into a standard generator. In addition, there is a 100W USB-C port for quick device charging which is quick enough for smartphones and laptops. With 15 available outlets to plug in from, you will be able to plug in your necessities for entertainment or even emergency use. This power station charges quicker than you would get accustomed to with a unit of this size: Thanks to its advanced AC input capabilities, it can go from zero to 80% charged in just 50 minutes and a full charge takes around 80 minutes. That quick turnaround means you can rely on it as backup power at home without long waits. It also comes with a maximum 500W solar panel input (there's a 220W solar panel included in the bundle), so that you can charge it quietly and hygienically when camping or off the grid. If you're looking for a portable power station, this deal is really too good to pass up. See Delta 2 at Amazon See Delta 2 + 220W Solar Panel at Amazon
