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.
The top recommendation in our best memory foam mattresses story, the newly upgraded Nectar Premier is cooler than the Nectar Classic (below) and offers a medium feel plus a cushy pressure relief layer. Between its contouring feel, affordable price point, impressive 365-night trial period and forever warranty, this is an excellent choice for first-time memory foam buyers who want the full experience with little risk. (Just note: While the trial period and warranty are mentioned on the Amazon listing, it's best to check with the brand directly to make sure these still apply when purchased through Amazon.) Other similar mattresses on sale include the old version of the Nectar Premier, at just $659 for a queen, or the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which offers more support and better airflow, at $934 for a queen.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for the Nectar Premier on Amazon, though it's about the same on the Nectar website.
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 $679 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 $300 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: This is the lowest price we've seen on this mattress on Amazon 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 30% 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 31% off this Prime Day.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this mattress on Amazon in 2025.
Named among our favorite mattresses on Amazon, the Brooklyn Bedding Select Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress provides a medium-firm feel that's a good choice for many back and stomach sleepers. Because of its combination of memory foam and coils, it can hug your curves and provide a decent amount of pressure relief but doesn't lack durability. It also features gel-infused foam to help regulate body temperature as you sleep, making it a solid pick for hot sleepers as well. Note: This bed is available only at third-party retailers like Amazon.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest recorded price we've seen for this mattress.
We found the Purple Original Mattress to be a great option for those who tend to sleep hot as well as combination sleepers who switch postures at night. Like every bed from this brand, the Purple Original uses a proprietary GelFlex Grid technology to cradle the body and relieve pressure. You can get $500 off this mattress for Prime Day.
Why It's A Good Deal: At less than $1,000, this is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon for the Purple Original Mattress since 2022.
We've been reviewing DreamCloud's beds for a few years now, and the Premier Hybrid is a tried-and-true pick that's known for its cushy-yet-supportive feel that's ideal for back and combo sleepers. Snag the 'original version' of this bed on Amazon for extra savings (price featured); it includes a cashmere-blend cover and gel-infused foam unlike the newer model. While it's no longer featured on our best lists, save for our best mattresses on Amazon roundup, this mattress is a decent choice for budget shoppers or occasionally used beds in guest rooms.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for the DreamCloud Premier on Amazon.
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 $200 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 is the lowest price we've seen for this bed in 2025.
Our top overall pick in our best mattresses on Amazon roundup, this ultra-affordable bed is ideal for a guest room or anyone working with a budget. It features a medium-plush feel that's ideal for side sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds or anyone who likes extra cushioning. We appreciate that the foam is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it's made without chemicals and has low VOCs.
Why It's A Good Deal: It's the lowest price we've seen on this model since April, coming within $26 of its all-time lowest price for 2025.
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) within our ongoing coverage. 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.
Forbes Vetted editors are fans of the Tuft & Needle brand, and many of its offerings have landed on our lists of recommendations. The Kin By Tuft & Needle Adaptive Foam Mattress is only available on Amazon and is selling at a pretty deep 29% discount for Prime Day. Unlike some mattresses you can find on the retailer, this contouring-foam pick comes with a decent ten-year warranty. We recommend it for back and stomach sleepers, as the medium-firm feel may be too unforgiving for side sleepers. Despite the less than $500 sale price, it's fiberglass free and comes with multiple environmental and safety certifications, such as Greenguard-Gold and Certi-PUR-US.
Why It's A Good Deal: For Amazon Prime Day, it's priced at only a few dollars more than the mattress' lowest ever price, which was back in late 2024.
As Amazon hosts its Prime Day event this year, other brands are holding sales to compete with the retail giant's discounts. Here are some of our favorite mattress companies that are also offering deals if you shop directly through their sites.
At Forbes Vetted, we're committed to providing our readers with all the information they need to make the right purchase: This includes reporting on the best Amazon Prime Day deals across a wide range of categories. The Forbes Vetted team deals team has a collective decade of experience covering major sale events and holidays.
Our mattress and sleep team is composed of certified sleep science coaches and tenured mattress editors who've spent years reviewing and testing more than 200 beds.

Do Mattresses Go On Sale During Prime Day?
Yes, mattresses are included in Amazon's Prime Day sales event. You can find impressive deals on select models from popular brands including Purple, Casper, Nectar and Helix, all of which can be 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 Certi-PUR-US and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifications, so it's also constructed from safe materials with no harmful chemicals.

5 common Amazon scams and how to avoid them
Amazon is the the most efficient, popular online retailer. So maybe it shouldn't be surprising that it's a gold mine for scammers. These individuals, bless their blackened hearts, are adept at crafting new and increasingly plausible ways to trick the unsuspecting—and posing as Amazon is an easy way to attract attention. So, with a healthy dose of skepticism, let's examine a few of their more popular ruses. And, more importantly, how to avoid becoming the next victim. 'Your Account Is On Hold!' This particular chestnut arrives via email, often with a subject line designed to induce mild panic. It's adorned with a passable Amazon logo and a link, invariably urging you to verify your details or update your billing information. How to avoid it: Amazon, for all its technological prowess, rarely communicates critical account issues via unsolicited links in an email. Outsmarting this one can be done the same way you outsmart just about every other phishing email out there. Make sure to examine the sender's address. Does it genuinely end in '@ Or is it a peculiar string of characters, perhaps including ' somewhere? The latter is a strong indicator it's a scam. In the message itself, are there peculiar grammatical constructions or spellings that suggest English might not be the author's primary language? These subtle imperfections are often telltale signs, though they're getting harder to spot thanks to AI. And finally, resist the urge to click. If there's genuinely an issue with your Amazon account, manually navigating to in your browser and logging in will reveal all. Any legitimate alerts will be visible there. The 'Unexpected Refund' Text Message This rather sneaky tactic involves a text message, ostensibly from Amazon, informing you that a recent purchase of yours has failed some sort of routine inspection. Perhaps it's being recalled, or simply isn't up to Amazon's exacting standards. The good news, the message purports, is that a full refund is due, often without the hassle of returning the offending item. All you need do is click the convenient link provided to claim your compensation. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, among others, has recently issued warnings about this particular brand of mischief. How to avoid it: Excitement for an unexpected windfall should be tempered with a healthy dose of doubt. For starters, while Amazon does send legitimate texts, an unsolicited refund notification, particularly for an unspecified item and without requiring a return, is highly suspect. Clicking the link in the text message will, in all likelihood, lead you to a meticulously crafted phishing page that looks just like the official Amazon login page—just waiting to collect your Amazon credentials, payment information, and any other personal details you're willing to volunteer. Should you harbor even a fleeting thought that the message might be legitimate, bypass the text entirely by logging into your Amazon account via the official website or the app. Any legitimate refund or recall information will be clearly displayed within your order history or official notifications. The 'Accidental Over-Refund' This is a somewhat more sophisticated deception. You might receive a call or an email asserting that Amazon has, through some inexplicable error, refunded you too much for a recent return. The request is for you to remit the 'overpayment,' often via the purchase of gift cards or a wire transfer. How to avoid it: Before doing anything, consult your actual bank statements or Amazon account to confirm the alleged overpayment. It's almost certain you'll find no such anomaly. When it comes to Amazon's refund protocol, the company's internal processes are reasonably sophisticated. Should a genuine error occur, the company would rectify it internally, not solicit funds from you via questionable methods— certainly not gift cards! And if anyone purports to be from Amazon and requests remote access to your computer to 'correct' a refund issue, it's time to end the conversation. Amazon will never, ever, ever ask for access to your computer. 'Your Order Has Shipped!' Wait, what order? This particular trick plays on a combination of alarm and curiosity. A plausible-looking order confirmation arrives in your inbox for an item—often expensive— that you most certainly didn't purchase. The objective is to prompt you to click the 'Cancel Order' or 'View Details' link in a state of agitation. How to avoid it: Bypass the email entirely. Log into your Amazon account and go to your 'Orders' section. If the supposed order isn't there, it's a fabrication. Though generally ill-advised, should you feel compelled to examine a link, hover your mouse cursor over it and observe the URL that appears. If it deviates significantly from then it's best left unclicked. The 'Mystery Package' Brushing Scam This particular oddity is less about financial theft and more about system manipulation. You receive a package from Amazon, addressed to you, containing an item you never ordered—often something inexpensive and utterly random. The purpose? A third-party seller is using your details to create fake purchases, allowing them to post fraudulent positive reviews under your name, thereby artificially boosting their product's standing. How to avoid it: While seemingly harmless, receiving free—albeit often useless— goods does indicate your personal information is being exploited. Do a good deed by contacting Amazon customer service and reporting the unsolicited package. The company takes a dim view of such practices. And given that your address is being used, a periodic review of your credit report for any other unusual activity is probably in order.
