I'm sleeping on Amazon's best-selling EGOHOME Memory Foam Mattress — here's what I think so far
One budget-friendly mattress brand that has been on my radar recently is EGOHOME. Its memory foam mattresses are Amazon bestsellers, and you can now buy a queen-size EGOHOME Black 12" Mattress for $314.49 at Amazon.
Intrigued, I visited the brand's website, where you can now save up to 47% on the Black 12" Mattress with code HONOR10 at EGOHOME, thanks to an extended Memorial Day mattress sale.
After reading the description of the Back 12" Mattress's "plush, cradling comfort", I decided to try it out. So, does its comfort deserve a place in our best cheap mattress guide?
Read on to find out what I thought after a week of testing, and stay tuned for the full review...
Look through this year's best mattress guide and you'll find plenty of top-quality memory foam mattresses, but not many are as affordable as EGOHOME's mattress line-up. The Black 12" Mattress is the brand's most popular model and typically costs under $500 for a queen.
While EGOHOME also makes some popular hybrid mattresses, I wanted to try the all-foam version of the Black 12" Mattress as A) it's designed to be softer than its hybrid counterpart, and I prefer plush beds; and B) I've never slept on a memory foam bed, just latex, hybrid, and classic innerspring mattresses.
EGOHOME Black 12" Mattress: queen was $699 now $333 with code HONOR10 at EGOHOMEWhile you can expect to find monthly mattress sales at EGOHOME, their Memorial Day sale has been extended and you can now get up to 57% off a queen, reducing it to $333 with code HONOR10. Alternatively, you can currently buy a queen Black 12" Mattress for $314.49 at Amazon, but you won't get the benefits that you get when buying directly from the brand: a 100-night sleep trial and an 10-year warranty.
The 12" Black Memory Foam Mattress is, you guessed it, 12" tall and made up of three foam layers. Covering the layers is a graphene-infused, antibacterial cover to prevent odors and keep the surface cool.
The top layer is memory foam infused with compressed anti-microbial copper and gel particles for a more hygienic sleep surface.
In the middle, you'll find a heat-dissipating foam layer for temperature regulation, while the bottom layer uses high-density foam for more support.
The EGOHOME mattress is fiberglass-free, too, using a safer flame retardant inner cover. Is it a contender for our best mattresses on Amazon guide? Here's what I think so far...
After a week of sleeping on a full EGOHOME Black 12" Mattress, I was impressed with some of its features, but I also have the odd complaint.
Here are five of the initial thoughts I have had about the budget all-foam bed:
As a lightweight side sleeper, I find a lot of mattresses to be much firmer than they claim to be. That's why I was looking forward to testing an all-foam bed, especially one that promises ultra-plushness.
I'm pleased to say that the EGOHOME Black 12" delivers on that promise.
My key side-sleeping pressure points (such as my shoulders and hips) have been cradled and hugged by the memory foam from night one, making the mattress a strong contender for a place in our best mattress for side sleepers guide.
As a mattress tester, I've unboxed a dozen hybrid mattresses — and they can be a mighty pain to unbox due to their bulkiness and weight.
However, a full-size EGOHOME Black 12" Mattress was surprisingly light, weighing in at 53lbs. (The previous mattress I tested weighed 103lbs.)
While I did need to recruit two people to carry the box upstairs (boxed-up mattresses are heavy, period, no matter their design), I unboxed the mattress by myself and it was incredibly easy.
EGOHOME advises customers to wait 12-48 hours for the mattress to expand on your bed frame, so I braced myself for two nights of sleeping on the floor.
However, the mattress was pretty quick to expand, reaching a height of 11" just 20 minutes after unboxing. After one night of sleeping on the floor, I found that the bed had reached its full 12" height, so I was sleeping on the mattress by night two.
While I've tried plenty of the best mattress toppers (all memory foam), nothing quite braced me for the feel of an all-foam mattress.
I will admit it did take me to get used to the "hug" of the memory foam — but not while sleeping. I only felt the slow-moving feel of the foam when I had to move around, such as when moving across the mattress to get out on the other side of bed.
A fellow mattress tester once called a memory foam mattress (from a well-known brand that shall remain nameless) that she was testing "claustrophobic" and couldn't wait to get rid.
While I'm used to it after a week, I know a lot of sleepers prefer a bouncy bed and find memory foam too restrictive.
Despite the mattress having a cover made from the brand's "Anti-heat Graphene" fabric, I do not find the bed to be cooling. In fact, on the first humid night of testing I woke up feeling warm. (For the record, I do not usually sleep hot).
While during milder weather I sleep fine, I will definitely be using my Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector once testing is over.
✅ It's cost-effective: A queen size EGOHOME is regularly priced under $500, with a twin under $300.
✅ It's easy to set up: Its manageable 53lbs weight means unboxing is pretty easy for one person.
✅ Its perfect for side sleepers: I need a lot of softness when side sleeping, and this is the first mattress I've tested that has provided me with the right amount of pressure relief.
❌ It sleeps a little warm: Despite an "anti-heat" cover, I did find the cover to retain a lot of warmth on humid nights. Once the testing period is over I'll add a cooling mattress protector or topper to offset this.
❌ It's not for those who prefer firmer beds: As a side sleeper under 130lbs, I love the cradling softness of this all-foam bed. But stomach sleepers and those who like a firmer, supportive mattress should avoid.

Jeff Bezos' mother, Jacklyn Gise Bezos, dead at 78
Jeff Bezos' mother, Jacklyn Gise Bezos, died Thursday after a long fight with Lewy body dementia, the Amazon founder announced. She was 78. Jacklyn Bezos was surrounded by family when she died at her Miami home, her son wrote in a touching Instagram tribute. 'Her adulthood started a little bit early when she became my mom at the tender age of 17,' the 61-year-old billionaire wrote in the post. Advertisement Jacklyn Gise Bezos, mother of Amazon magnate Jeff Bezos, has passed away at the age of 78. Getty Images 'That couldn't have been easy, but she made it all work. She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish,' his post said. An obituary posted to Jacklyn's 'Bezos Scholars Program' remembered the one-time single mother as a lifetime educator who was focused on nurturing and growing children's minds through the program which operates in the US and Africa.

Capital Spending As The Key Market Driver?
In 2025, the U.S. economy has continued to chug along despite the headwinds of tariffs and trade dislocations, as well as the current war in Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. One of the sources of this economic strength has been capital spending by U.S. companies. The main driver has been the buildout of artificial intelligence (AI) capacity, especially by the mega-cap technology companies Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft. Figure 1: Total U.S. Capital Expenditures, 1950–2025 Historically, consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of the U.S. economy. Shockingly, according to a post by Neil Dutta, head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, AI spending exceeded consumer expenditures in the last two quarters, as shown in the graphic below. 'So far this year, AI capital expenditures (capex), which we define as information processing equipment plus software, have added more to GDP growth than consumer spending,' Dutta said. Figure 2: U.S. AI Capital Expenditures versus Personal Consumption (PCE), 2022–2025 Christopher Mims of The Wall Street Journal calculates that U.S. AI spending exceeded $100 billion in the previous quarter alone. "The AI infrastructure buildout is so gigantic that in the past six months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than all of consumer spending. The Magnificent Seven spent more than $100 billion on data centers and related infrastructure in the past three months alone,' Mims wrote. Figure 3: Capital Expenditures of META, GOOGL, MSFT, AMZN, 2018–2025 As we discussed in October 2024, there are many sub-groups related to this spending, including the following O'Neil Industry Groups. Table 1: AI/Data Center-Related O'Neil Industry Groups A potential accelerant to overall capital spending comes from accelerated depreciation changes included in the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill. This law allows companies to deduct 100% of the depreciation of any qualified project or property in the first year it goes into service. This reduces a business' taxes and helps improve near-term cash flow by reducing taxable income. This deduction covers most machinery, industrial equipment, computers, servers, and software, as well as some furniture, fixtures, and building components. As a result, we expect capital spending to rise over the next 12 months in AI and beyond. Thematic areas that may benefit include Power/Electrification, Aerospace, Industrial Manufacturing, Transportation, Telecommunications, and Life Science/Pharma. Across U.S.-based stocks with a market cap above $500M and at least $50M in annual sales, we analyzed ratios to identify potential beneficiaries. Then, we broke them down by O'Neil Major Industry (89 Groups, combines some of the 197 O'Neil Industry Groups together). 1) Percent of D&A versus sales (most recent annual period): used to find the most capital-intensive businesses, normalized for company size. Across all companies, the median percentage is 4.5%. Here are the major industries with the highest and lowest ratios. Table 2: Percent of D&A versus Sales of O'Neil Major Industries 2) Percentage of D&A versus total assets (most recent annual period): used to gauge how quickly businesses utilize their capital base, normalized for capital base size. Across all companies, the median percentage is 3.0%. Here are the major industries with the highest and lowest ratios. Table 3: Percent of D&A versus Assets of Major O'Neil Industries Major industries that appear on the left side in both of the above tables include Oil and Gas–Exploration/Production, Telecommunication Services, Metal Product and Fabrication, Oil and Gas–Integrated, Chemical, Shipping, Pollution Control, Semiconductors, Cement Aggregates, Agricultural Operation, Leisure Services, Trucking, and Paper and Forest Products. A handful of Health Care segments appear in the D&A versus sales table, while several Retail groups appear in the D&A versus assets table. Of the groups with higher ratios in each table (33 unique), the groups below are leading and/or reasonably well set-up from a technical perspective. Figure 4: Weekly Mini Charts of Key O'Neil Major Industries Despite the potential accelerated depreciation catalyst, tariff headwinds remain. In particular, non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft—which track new orders placed with U.S. manufacturers for durable capital goods designed to last more than three years—have seen mixed momentum. While orders are up from 2024 levels (Figure 5), they have recently pulled back (Figure 6) as businesses put off capital investments despite the tax advantages granted by the Big Beautiful Bill. Figure 5/6: U.S. Manufacturing Orders and Order Growth, 2022–2025 Overall, much like the Trump corporate tax cuts in his first term, we believe the benefits from the change in depreciation expensing are being underemphasized by the market. While capital goods orders have been weak recently, we think they will rise from current levels as the new law takes effect and tariff uncertainty eases. The above industry lists and charts provide fertile ground for investors interested in this theme. We expect select beneficiaries of the new law to deliver notable stock price outperformance over the next 12 months, and we encourage readers to incorporate this view into their current investment strategy.

Grocery News Has Amazon Stock Delivering Gains. Does It Have a 'New Narrative' Now?
Amazon's got some mojo. The tech and retail giant's stock has been a middling performer among the big names for much of the year. It was essentially flat in the first half, while a popular Magnificent 7 exchange-traded fund moved higher and both underperformed the benchmark S&P 500. More recently, shares of Amazon (AMZN) have shown substantial life. They finished Thursday up nearly 3%, extending Wednesday gains and leaving them just over 5% for the year—fifth-best among the group of seven tech giants year-to-date. Behind the latest bump: enthusiasm for yesterday's announcement that it would extend a move into fast delivery of fresh groceries, seen as a shot across the bows of other retailers and delivery companies. (Think Walmart (WMT), Instacart (CART) and Kroger (KR), for example.) Several Wall Street analysts applauded the move, which followed a second-quarter earnings announcement that disappointed some investors. "Fresh grocery has been a significant missing piece in Amazon's offering [versus] competitors," Bank of America wrote, naming Walmart and Target (TGT). "With better grocery capabilities, Amazon should see important customer frequency benefits and potential lock-in." Is There a 'New Narrative' for Amazon? Morgan Stanley estimates that offline grocery spending is worth about $1.5 trillion in the U.S., or nearly half of all offline consumer spending. Fresh and perishable goods, they write, are about 45% of that total; Amazon, they said, was at risk of losing grocery market share before its latest move. Better grocery service could also boost the value of Prime membership, according to JP Morgan analysts, who think the company could raise membership prices next year without significantly causing churn or eating into customer acquisition. Amazon is widely liked by Street analysts, who according to Visible Alpha are unanimously bullish. The current consensus price target, near $262, suggests a roughly 13% premium to Thursday's close. That's a solid enough outlook—to be sure, some Magnificent Seven stocks managed double-digit gains in the first half of 2025 alone—but CNBC's Jim Cramer, to name one observer, is now talking about a "new narrative" for the company. Based on the stock's latest rise, investors were eager to hear one. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio
