20+ of the Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals Still Live: Your Last Chance to Save on a New Bed
Memorial Day may be over, but several top mattress brands are still offering extended sales. If you're thinking about upgrading your sleep setup, this is your final opportunity. These leftover deals won't last much longer. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. CNET's sleep experts have spent years testing mattresses to help you find the best options for your budget and sleep preferences. Right now brands like Casper, Purple and Nectar are still running major discounts. You'll find deals on everything from memory foam and hybrid mattresses to bedding and sleep accessories. We'll keep updating this page with the latest prices, so check back often before these extended Memorial Day offers disappear. Best overall Memorial Day mattress sales Brooklyn Bedding Brooklyn Bedding's beds are known for their quality and affordability, so it is notable that its prices have dropped 30%. CNET's best overall mattress, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, drops below $999 for a queen with this sale. The Aurora Luxe, our favorite cooling bed of all time, is just less than $1,700. Down from $2,265, this is an excellent price for a bed that will help hot sleepers rest better. The 25% off sale is sitewide with the code MEMORIAL25. Details 25% off sitewide with code MEMORIAL25 See at Brooklyn Bedding Close Leesa Leesa's ultra comfortable mattresses are some of my favorites. The Leesa Sapira Chill, our pick for the best luxury mattress, is on sale for $1,584. That's more than $679 in savings. It's still expensive but this is a good deal for the quality, especially because Leesa is adding a free sleep bundle that includes two pillows and a microfiber sheet set. Details 30% off select mattresses + free sleep bundle See at Leesa Close Nectar Hands down, Nectar does some of the most generous sales of all the mattress brands, which is good because some of the newest Nectar beds can be pricey. For Memorial Day, Nectar beds are up to 50% off, and bundles are 66% off. That means you can get the Nectar Classic Hybrid for $799 instead of $1,531. If you want to update your whole bedding setup, add the optional bundle for only $179. It includes a sheet set, two cooling pillows and a mattress protector. The all-foam model of this bed is only $649. Finding quality queen mattresses for less than $1,000 can be difficult, so this sale is big if you're a fan of dense memory foam. Details Up to 50% off mattresses + 66% off bundles See at Nectar Close Helix Helix's early access Memorial Day sale is 25% sitewide with a free bedding bundle if you buy a Luxe or Elite mattress. Here at CNET, we're big fans of Helix mattresses, especially the comfy pillowtops on the Luxe models. The Helix Midnight Luxe, which I recommend to just about anyone who wants a medium mattress, is down to $1,780 with this sale. Admittedly, the Luxe beds are on the more expensive side. You can drop a tier to the core collection for more affordable beds. The Helix Midnight is $999 right now. If you choose from the core collection, you'll miss out on the free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set and mattress protector. The bedding bundle's value isn't more than the difference between the two prices so I don't think the free offerings are enough to move the needle for you. I'm currently testing the Helix Frame, which is on sale for $187. I highly recommend it for people who want a no-fuss bed frame that is easy to assemble. Seriously, it took me less than 5 minutes to put it together. Use the code MEMDAY25 to cash in on these savings. Details 25% off sitewide + free bedding bundle with select mattresses with code MEMDAY25 See at Helix Close Saatva For Memorial Day, Saatva is running deals where you can save up to $600 off a mattress. The amount off will depend on the total of your purchase. A $950 to $1,999 purchase will save you $200, plus an extra $100 off if you get an adjustable base or upholstered bed frame with the mattress. You won't get that $600 off unless you spend more than $4,500. It's not the most generous sale we've seen from Saatva, but it's still a nice chunk of change off the price of a luxury bed. The Saatva Classic, our favorite firm bed, is only $1,799, $300 off of the usual price. If you're looking for a bed specifically for back pain, the Saata Rx is reduced to $3,049 for a queen. Details Take up to $600 off See at Saatva Close Casper Casper mattresses are up to 30% off for Memorial Day. The savings will vary by bed.

The Pure Eco Organic Kids Mattress is not included in this sale. Details 10% organic beds, bedding and bases See at My Green Mattress Close Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress? Memorial Day is a good time to buy a mattress if you're in the market for one. Some of the sales are generous, especially the ones that throw in extra pillows and bedding. I've been doing this long enough to notice sales trends across brands. For instance, Saatva usually peaks around $600 off mattresses, while Nectar has been known to mark 50% off. Most big names offer sales within a specific range, so if you can't afford a mattress right now, don't sweat it. There's always another holiday coming. Should you wait until Prime Day to buy a mattress? No, it's not necessarily better to wait until Amazon Prime Day in July to buy a new mattress. While some brands will offer deals around that time, nearly all mattress companies offer discounts around Memorial Day. Additionally, upcoming tariffs may increase the prices of mattresses across the board, so if you want to snag a new bed for a lower price, significant sales are happening now. Our sleep and deals experts monitor the web to uncover the best discounts and help you save big. Check back, as we update our deals pages often.

How To Make Your Mattress Firmer: 6 Expert-Backed Methods
When it comes to the ideal mattress, some people think the softer, the better. While an ultra-plush model works great for those needing deep pressure relief, for others (namely back and stomach sleepers) it spells a night of back pain and stiffness caused by poor spinal alignment. If you find yourself suffering from the aforementioned ailments after a night of sleep, then you might want to firm up your mattress. Here are six ways to make your mattress firmer, including adding a mattress topper. Before you resign yourself to buying an entirely new mattress, there are several steps you can take to make your current mattress feel firmer, from adding a topper to simply rotating it. Below, we detail how to make your mattress firmer using six tips, plus offer further expert insight into who a firm mattress is best for. Here are six different ways you can make your mattress firmer: A mattress topper is an easy, relatively inexpensive way to transform the feel of your mattress, whether you're looking to add more softness or firmness. Firm mattress toppers are typically made from latex, memory foam, polyfoam or microcoils, which offer various firmness levels and their own set of benefits. PlushBeds Helix Sometimes poor firmness in a mattress has nothing to do with the mattress itself but rather what it's resting on. The right bed frame lends the proper support needed to maintain a bed's firmness. Depending on the type of mattress you have, a wood or metal bed frame can be supportive, although we recommend Thuma's Classic Bed, which uses a Japanese joinery technique and cushion-coated slats to support up to 1,500 pounds. (See our full Thuma Bed review to learn more.) Thuma Addressing the issue of a lack of firmness might require some investigating as to what's going on beneath the mattress. Slatted bed frames or bases that are older might not be providing the necessary support your mattress needs, causing it to sag, have an uneven surface or generally feel less firm than it actually is. The addition of extra slats, like the Zinus replacement bed slats , or supports help to redistribute the weight of a mattress, in turn creating a firmer sleeping surface. Certain mattress materials like memory foam are sensitive to temperature, causing their firmness to change based on how hot or cold it is. Memory foam becomes more pliable in warmer temperatures, softening to more easily contour to your body. Some might find that the mattress becomes too soft, but a quick and easy fix is to lower the temperature to let it firm back up a bit. Sleeping in the same spot night after night can start to wear on the mattress, evidenced by indents and sagging. Rotating your mattress so that the head becomes the foot helps to evenly distribute wear and prevent indentations and sagging that hinder sleep. It's generally recommended to rotate your mattress every six months, although the frequency can vary depending on the type of mattress, so be sure to check with the manufacturer if you're unsure how often you should be rotating your specific model. If you've attempted the above tips and still find yourself dissatisfied with your mattress' firmness and your overall sleep quality, it might be time to consider a newer model. 'Mattresses are designed to last for about seven to ten years. You will know that it is time to get a new mattress if you see a visible sag where you sleep,' says Andrew E. Colsky, JD, LLM, LPC, LMHC and founder of National Sleep Center. Colsky also recommends investing in a new mattress if you find yourself experiencing back, neck or hip pain caused by lumps and dips in your current one. Choosing the best mattress for your sleep style and needs can be an overwhelming process, which is why we've tested more than 150 mattresses firsthand to determine the best mattresses for all types of sleepers, including our top pick, the Helix Midnight Luxe. During our testing, we also found the Plank Firm Mattress to be the best firm mattress overall, thanks to its flippable design that offers two firmness levels. Plank You might think that the feel and the firmness of a mattress are one in the same, but they actually mean different things. Where 'feel' refers to the sensation of the mattress' materials (i.e. bouncy latex or plush, dense memory foam), firmness refers to how hard or soft the mattress is. A mattress' firmness is often rated on a scale of 1 to 10 and falls into either the soft, medium-firm or firm categories. Determining the right firmness for your sleep style and needs is key to achieving comfortable, healthy sleep. With mattresses that are too soft, your body could potentially sink too much, causing spinal misalignment that leads to pain and discomfort. On the other hand, a mattress that is too firm might not contour the body enough to provide adequate pressure relief. Not everyone benefits from a firm mattress, but several types of sleepers find a firm model works best for them. It's important for back sleepers to have the necessary support to maintain natural alignment and keep the hips from sinking too deeply (and thus preventing lower back pain). A medium-firm to firm mattress like the Leesa Sapira Chill, our top pick for back sleepers, helps prevent the back from dipping. 'If you sleep on your stomach, a firm mattress stops your midsection from sagging, which can otherwise hyperextend your spine and cause discomfort,' says Colsky. Similar to back sleepers, the best mattresses for stomach sleepers are medium-firm to firm. Like back and sleepers, sleepers weighing more than 250 pounds should opt for a firm mattress, or one specifically designed for them, that offers ample support to stop unnecessary sinkage and keep the spine aligned.

Saatva Contour5 Review: Enjoy The Perks Of Supportive Memory Foam
Saatva is generally known for its top-rated innerspring mattress the Saatva Classic, but now it's introduced the Saatva Contour5 to its lineup. It's a cooling memory foam mattress layered with advanced features to make it ultra comfortable, supportive and contouring. We had a group of nine testers try the brand's newest bed, including our senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman, and observe important features like firmness, pressure relief, ease of movement, motion isolation and more. In our Saatva Contour5 Mattress review below, see our perspective from a range of different body types, sleeping positions and pain points and whether or not we think it's worth the cost. We had nine different people share their thoughts on the newest memory foam bed from Saatva for our ... More Saatva Contour5 review. Memory foam is known for its molding, morphing feel that contours to the curves of your body. Note that common downsides can include inhibited movement and heat retention. The Saatva Contour5 works to solve these issues and deliver nestling comfort that keeps you comfortable through the whole night. For more insight into the brand's other options, we also have a flagship Saatva Classic review. Saatva Type: Memory foam | Brand firmness rating: Medium (5 to 7) or firm (8) | Trial period: 365 nights | Shipping: Free whit- glove delivery | Warranty: Lifetime Best for: Skip if: Since our testers have become so familiar with the Saatva Classic, the Saatva Contour5 is a surprising 180 to the bouncy innerspring bed. Updates writer Alex Garrett says her first reaction was, 'Wow, I really sink into this,' as her knee dipped around three inches as she climbed into the bed. 'It feels dense, yet cushioned at first touch with what seems like a pretty traditional memory foam feel. It's nothing like the Saatva Classic that I tested initially.' As for Chapman's first impressions, she said it's comparable to well-known, high-end memory foam mattresses. 'It has a very classic memory foam feel where the foams slowly contour to your joints and provide nice relief. The foam is dense, pressure relieving and supportive. It feels like the foams are high-quality and similar to a Tempur-Pedic.' With multiple firmness options, a cooling cover and advanced design, our testers discovered that the bed has a lot to offer in terms of pressure relief, cooling comfort, motion isolation and more. Standing at 12.5 inches tall, the Saatva Contour5 Mattress is stacked with foam layers that each serve a different purpose. A look at the memory foam Saatva Contour5. This mattress offers two firmness levels: medium (rated a 5 to 7 by the brand) and firm (rated an 8 by the brand). Our team of nine testers tried the medium model and most agreed with its rating, but some said it leaned more toward 6 than 5. This firmness profile seems to be a sweet spot that accommodates different sleeping positions, as our team rated it an 8 for side and stomach sleepers, and an 8.5 for back sleepers. 'Side sleeping is wonderful on the Saatva Contour5, as a lightweight sleeper,' says Garrett. "The mattress hugs my hips and shoulders, providing a solid pressure-relieving sensation. My spine also feels supported and aligned.' As for back sleeping, a tester in the 250-pound weight class says, 'This mattress provides an excellent feel with the right amount of sinkage and support for my back.' However, we think the firm model is going to be better for dedicated stomach sleepers, especially those who weigh over 250 pounds. One of the brand's best stand-out features is its patented Lumbar Zone PCM Matrix layer. It's strategically placed in the center third of the mattress right under the lumbar region of your spine to provide lift and support, whereas other memory foam beds may sink under the pressure. At the same time, this layer provides a cooling feel that regulates temperature and makes the mattress noticeably cool. 'The mattress is the coolest of the ones I tested. It definitely feels like it has some sort of cooling technology within it,' says one tester who was unfamiliar with its exact construction. If you're a hot sleeper but love the feel of memory foam, the Saatva Contour5 is a good sleep solution. Memory foam is known for its pressure-relieving feel, and this mattress delivers with doughy, slow-moving foam that morphs under the weight of your body. Our testers rated the medium model's pressure relief an 8 out of 10, as the foams contour around your shoulders and hips. It provides a comfortable alignment for side and back sleepers, but for a little more support and less give, opt for the firm model. As we mentioned previously, the Saatva Contour5 Mattress contains technology that helps it sleep more comfortably than your average all-memory foam mattress. Several of our testers noted its cool-to-the-touch feel, while others mentioned that it feels more temperature neutral. Either way, we think it's a good choice for most sleepers, unless you sleep particularly hot. Then you should consider one of our best cooling mattresses that contain multiple cooling layers. Couples who are easily disturbed by each other's movements or have different sleep schedules should consider a mattress like the Saatva Contour5 that's good at stopping motion transfer. We put this memory foam bed to the test by having our testers place a glass of water at the edge of the mattress and make a combination of jerky and subtle movements to see how it reacted, and our testers gave it an 8 out of 10 score. 'The motion isolation was very good,' says one tester. 'The water showed no signs of getting close to spilling. If you need a smaller mattress and have a significant other, this is the mattress for you.' Another echoes this thought, and says, 'The Saavta Contour5 has excellent motion isolation. When I changed positions and got in and out of bed, the water in the glass barely moved.' For a mattress that's made without steel coils, our testers found the mattress to be pretty supportive while lying on their side, back and stomach. It also offers decent edge support for a foam mattress, as our team rated it an average of 7.5 out of 10. However, according to Saatva, it can only support up to 300 pounds per side. As a result, we recommend this mattress to people under 250 pounds so it stays durable, supportive and comfortable throughout its entire lifespan. People who weigh over 250 pounds should consider the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid or one of our editors' favorite mattresses for heavy people. The Saatva Contour5 has surprisingly good edge support for an all-foam mattress. Some memory foam mattresses can feel like they're pushing back against your body when you try to switch from one position to the other, or like you have to pull yourself out of a you-shaped indent. However, our testers scored ease of movement an 8 out of 10. One person says, 'It's easy to switch from one position to another. I don't feel any resistance or like I'm 'stuck'.' Another tester concurs, and says, 'I have no issues switching positions on this mattress.' Saatva is an online mattress brand that offers high-end, quality mattresses made in the USA at an affordable price. Saatva Mattresses are comparable to the likes of beds from veteran brands like Tempur-Pedic and Beautyrest. The Saatva experience is more premium and luxurious, and it shows in the products and services it provides. Saatva offers white-glove delivery on all mattresses, while most other online-exclusive brands sell mattresses from a box. That means you can schedule a time for representatives to hand-deliver your mattress and set it on your frame for you. They also remove your old mattress and responsibly dispose of it–for free. Saatva is generous when it comes to its trial policy, as you get a full year to try out your Saatva Contour5 Mattress. If you're unhappy with your purchase by the end of your trial, you can initiate a return with Saatva who walks you through the process. The only caveat is that you have to pay a $99 return and restock fee. The mattress comes with a lifetime warranty, which means the company covers any manufacturing defects for as long as you own it. For the first two years, Saatva replaces your mattress with a new one for free if there are defects. Starting in year three, the brand completely repairs and re-covers the mattress for a $149 fee. Saatva The brand's original mattress comes with two innerspring layers and enhanced lumbar support technology, which makes it one of the best mattresses for back pain. It's offered in three different firmness levels and two heights, so sleepers can customize their Saatva Classic to their liking. Saatva The Saatva Rx Mattress is specifically marketed for sleepers with chronic back and joint conditions. If we were in the market again, I'd consider this new model because the company says it's designed to eliminate pressure points. This mattress is a new competitor for other high-end memory foam beds on the market, and it appeals to a myriad of different people. Our nine different testers vary in weight, gender and sleeping position, and they all came to agree that the Saatva Contour5 is a premium memory foam mattress with comfortable features. 'The Saavta Contour5 would be a solid mattress choice for any sleeping position. It's also beneficial for people with back and joint pain concerns, as well as couples,' says Garrett. Another person adds, 'This is definitely one of the better, sturdier memory foam beds that I've tried, and it certainly feels high-quality. I would put this one in the running for my own future purchases.' With added cooling enhancements, lumbar support, pressure-relieving layers and a hugging memory foam feel that people know and love, we recommend this bed for: back, side and stomach sleepers; people under 250 pounds; cosleepers and people looking for a more responsive Tempur-Pedic dupe. Chapman, our senior mattress and sleep editor, led a team of nine people who differed in height, weight, sleeping position and gender to test the Saatva Contour5 from multiple perspectives. We paid close attention to certain features that are most important to sleepers including the following: For more insight on how we test each bed and its different features, see our guide on how we score mattresses. Is The Saatva Contour5 Any Good? We had nine different people try the Saatva Contour5, and they rated it a 9 out of 10 because of its pressure-relieving memory foam comfort, supportive feel and cooling technology. It's more responsive than your typical memory foam mattress and is made with eco-friendly touches. What's The Difference Between The Saatva Classic And Contour5? The Saatva Classic is a bouncy innerspring mattress that contains two layers of coils and a small amount of memory foam for lumbar support. The Contour5 is the brand's memory foam mattress and it offers a slow-moving, contouring feel that's opposite from the Saatva Classic. Are Saatva Mattresses Made In China? No, Saatva mattresses are made to order in the United States.

The Best Mattresses For Teens, Tested By Actual Tweens And Teens
Shopping for a mattress for teens requires parents to consider different factors than if they were buying for a younger child, or even themselves. Tweens and teens are in a stage of life where they're experiencing rapid physical growth, hormonal changes that often impact sleep patterns and may now have strong preferences for a certain type of mattress feel—or a larger bed. Athletic teens may also benefit from increased pressure relief to support recovery. We enlisted tween and teen testers, including two of my own kids, as well as 15 other older kids to find the very best mattresses for teens. My top overall pick, the Avocado Eco Organic mattress, hits all those marks and more. The Bear Original is also a fantastic option for those looking for a more wallet-friendly teen mattress. The Avocado Eco Organic is our pick for the best mattress for teens overall given its nontoxic ... More profile and comfortable feel. 'Tweens and teens can benefit from mattresses that provide adequate support tailored to their developing bodies—especially as their bodies undergo significant changes during these years,' says Dr. Steven Abelowitz, pediatrician and medical director of Ocean Pediatrics in Orange County, California. He says to consider mattresses that help support proper spinal alignment, allowing for teen bodies to grow appropriately, which is generally a medium to firm mattress. After our testers slept on over a dozen mattresses for months and, some for years, and speaking with several pediatricians and sleep experts, I've narrowed our guide down to the models below. I leaned toward brands that used natural materials, just as we did when ranking the best mattresses for kids based on the latest research regarding the impact and concern related to certain materials on growing children. Note that all prices below are based on full mattresses, as many teens might upgrade from a twin kids mattress to a bigger bed in this new life stage. The following is a list of all the winners from our testing process: Avocado Green Mattress Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (latex) | Firmness: Medium | Height: 10 inches| Warranty: 10 years | Trial period: 100 nights | Certifications: Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Oeko-Tex 100, EWG Verified, Made Safe, Greenguard Gold, Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verified, Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and Forest Stewardship Council latex, Certified B Corp, Certified Climate Neutral Best for: Skip if: Tweens and teens are still developing, so the need for being conscious of what they sleep on for many hours a day, is top of mind for many parents. 'Parents should, ideally, search for mattresses that are made from mostly organic materials and take special consideration to look for a mattress that is free of toxic flame retardants, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. Instead, consider natural latex materials that tend to be more durable and breathable than synthetic alternatives,' says Abelowitz. The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is free of synthetic materials that could off-gas in your teen's room and combines over 800 recycled steel coils with GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex to create a supportive sleep surface that most older kids will find comfortable, making it a versatile pick for various preferred sleep positions. Certified organic cotton and wool form a comfy topper. It's earned a laundry-list of environmental credentials, virtually more than any other mattress brand out there. This is a huge plus for our tester. 'The extensive certifications make me feel really good about the safety of this mattress for my developing tween who has pretty severe asthma and environmental allergies,' she says. Fortunately, this mattress is as comfortable as it is sustainable. Our tester's 10-year-old back-sleeping child—who is also a multi-sport athlete—has slept on this 'really comfortable' mattress for two years and 'wouldn't trade it for anything,' even after testing out several other mattresses in between. They rated the pressure relief an 8 to 9 out of 10 saying that the mattress 'absolutely cradles all your pressure points.' She does note, however, that solely side-sleepers may feel some pressure building up over time. The Avocado Eco Organic mattress is versatile, supportive and chemical-free. It's definitely not inexpensive, but still comes in at a slightly lower price point than other comparable natural mattresses, and if you're buying it to last for years to come, it's a worthy investment. Unfortunately there's no in-home delivery option, so just keep in mind that it's heavy (as most natural mattresses tend to be.) Our tester did mention a 'faint natural type smell' upon opening it, but says it went away quickly. The Avocado Green Eco Organic mattress has remained a top pick across the board: the kid version was named our best mattress for kids overall. You can also learn more about all of its finer details in this full-length review by our adult tester. Brooklyn Bedding Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (foam) | Firmness: Soft, medium or firm | Height: 12.25 inches | Warranty: Limited lifetime | Trial period: 120 nights | Flippable: No | Certifications: Greenguard Gold, Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verified Best for: Skip if: Winner of our Best Affordable Hybrid Mattress, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is a versatile mattress that delivers comfort and support across age groups, making it an excellent choice for growing teens and adults alike (you can read one adult's personal review for even more insight.) This affordable mattress works for virtually any type of sleeper since parents can select from three firmness levels: soft, medium and firm. It's also one of the tallest mattresses on our list, measuring at 12.25-inches tall. The five-layer combo of individually encased coils, two layers of foam and a moisture-wicking quilted top delivers a supportive surface that doesn't hug the body like traditional memory foam, but instead, contours around it to help relieve pressure points. Our 11-year-old tester, who is normally a back or side-sleeper, found the pressure relief on the mattress excellent, rating it a 9 out of 10, calling it 'very soft and cradling.' They also rated the 'very good' edge support an 8. The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress works well for almost every type of teen sleeper. As far as delivery, it arrives quickly, compressed in a box that one adult can move in, despite the height being a big unwieldy. Our tester's parent says it 'unfolded and puffed up fast' and had zero odor. They also appreciated the side straps that made moving the mattress easier. It's a fantastic all-around option that won't break the bank. Your child can try it out for 120 days to decide if they like it or not, although a $99 return fee will apply if you choose to send it back. Bear Mattress Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Memory foam | Firmness: Medium | Height: 10 inches | Warranty: Limited lifetime | Trial period: 120 nights | Certifications: Greenguard Gold, Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verified Best for: Skip if: The Bear Original is a comfortable medium-firm mattress that provides necessary support for still growing tween and teen bodies and athletes who may require more pressure relief. Unlike traditional memory foam, your kid won't feel as if they're sinking into a pit of, well, foam. Described as 'remarkably supportive' by our tester, the Bear Original uses high-density foam as its foundation, topped with responsive layers of foam and a graphite-gel foam layer (which should help keep the sleeper cooler than traditional foam) to provide a good balance of support and comfort. The Bear Original is firm enough to provide pressure relief for athletes. 'It was firm enough that it wouldn't move around or feel lumpy or wobbly when I laid down, but still soft enough to feel good on my joints,' says our 13-year-old athletic tester. 'I don't like soft mattresses because they sort of cave in around my body and make me hot. This mattress didn't do that.' The firmer feel is also ideal for restless sleepers who tend to shift positions throughout the night. Parents can rest assured that it's fiberglass-free. An added perk? It comes with two free pillows. My Green Mattress Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (latex) | Firmness: Medium-firm | Height: 10 inches | Warranty: 20 years | Trial period: 365 nights | Certifications: Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), GreenGuard Gold, Made Safe, Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verified Best for: Skip if: 'Side-sleepers may need a mattress that offers pressure relief in areas such as the shoulders and the hips which bear more of the weight during side-sleeping,' says Abelowitz. This natural Dunlop latex mattress provides a supportive and comfortable landing pad with just enough medium-firmness that's ideal for side-sleeping older kids like my daughter. My almost 12-year-old has been using this mattress and is, for lack for a better word: obsessed. She calls it 'the most comfortable mattress ever.' Prior to swapping to the Kiwi Organic, she'd never sleep past her alarm, and now, it's difficult to get her out of bed in the mornings, because she loves lying in her bed so much. 'I slept on the very edge a few nights and felt no bending at all,' she says. The over 1,000 pocketed coil springs provide solid lumbar support and the notably cushy feeling top has become a family favorite, fought over with by her teen sister. Having also tested out this mattress, I can attest that it's springy yet firm with no sagging or movement, such as rolling in the middle of the night—and the edge support is strong, even when sitting at the end of the bed. As a parent, I've also noted that any morning complaints of backaches have disappeared since using this mattress. The My Green Mattress Kiwi Organic is supportive, made of clean materials and offers great edge ... More support. The Kiwi Organic is delivered compressed in a box and there's no odor at all even when first unwrapped, which was a major plus as someone with a sensitive nose—and for my child who's prone to allergies. If your teen runs hot, you should note that it's made of GOLS-certified Dunlop latex, which while breathable, is less so than Talalay latex. The entire mattress is made in the U.S. and comes with a robust 20-year warranty and 365-night trial period. Birch Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (latex) | Firmness: Medium-firm | Height: 11 inches (Twin XL) | Warranty: Limited lifetime | Trial period: 100 nights | Certifications: GreenGuard Gold, Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Fair Trade Certified Best for: Skip if: The latex Birch Natural (which also made our list for Best Organic Mattress), made of hypoallergenic and certified organic materials, is a clean and sustainable option that rates high in comfort from our 12-year-old tester. Like the Avocado Eco Organic, it also uses Greenguard Gold and Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certified materials, so you can feel secure knowing it contains no dangerous chemicals or materials. Also importantly, it's supportive and comfortable for growing teen bodies. Our tester's softball-playing 12-year-old, who is primarily a side-and stomach-sleeper, has slept on this Birch mattress for two years and says the 1,000 individually wrapped steel coils provides 'excellent' pressure relief and 'really rises up to meet your pressure points so that no pressure builds up at their shoulders or hips.' 'As soon as we switched her to this bed, she stopped complaining of waking up with various aches and pains,' she says. They did note that this mattress is 'on the softer side,' despite the brand website saying it's medium-firm, which her child really liked, but is worth noting. The Birch Natural uses natural materials to keep teens cooler while they sleep. A breathable organic cotton top combined with wool layers and the natural breathability of organic latex, also makes this a great option for hot sleepers. The company offers in-home setup and delivery, which is especially helpful if you're purchasing a full size or larger that is heavier and more unwieldy to take up stairs or down long hallways yourself. Even if you don't opt for the in-home setup, the bed inflates and unrolls quickly with no lingering odor, according to the tester. It's definitely on the more expensive end, but comes backed with a limited lifetime warranty and 100-night trial period, so you can likely pass it down among multiple kids (and even adults.) Saatva Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Innerspring | Firmness: Firm | Height: 10 inches| Warranty: Lifetime | Trial period: 365 nights | Certifications: Greenguard Gold, CertiPUR-US Certified, Congress of Chiropractic State Association Seal of Approval, American Chiropractic Association-approved Best for: Skip if: If your teen prefers a traditional innerspring mattress with coil support, the luxurious-feeling Saatva Classic sets a high benchmark. Earning a perfect 10 out of 10 overall rating from our tester, the mattress is available in three firmness levels (plush soft, luxury firm and firm) and two heights (11.5 inches and 14.5 inches) so you can customize the best fit for your child. The dual layers of innerspring means there's greater airflow than in a foam mattress, making it exceptionally cool and ideal for hot sleepers. A hypoallergenic organic cotton cover on top of the cushy 3-inch Euro pillow top adds to its breathability. Our tester notes that it 'felt cool to the touch' even after a night of sleep on it. They also say the pressure relief is 'great' and their 13-year-old finds it super comfortable after months of use and 'sleeps better than he's ever slept before.' They particularly appreciate the excellent edge support and motion isolation, rating both features a 9. 'You can even sit on the edge and not have it collapse,' she says. The Saatva Classic is a luxurious innerspring option that arrives via white glove delivery. Instead of fiberglass or chemical-laden flame retardants, the Saatva Classic utilizes a plant-based thistle pulp as a fire-resistant layer. Free white glove delivery is included, so you won't have to worry about hauling a bulky mattress up the stairs—or figuring out how to dispose of your old one, which our tester greatly appreciated. Just select the option at checkout, and they'll remove it at no extra cost. While this is on the pricier end of our picks for teens, it comes with a lifetime warranty and 365-night trial period offering extended protection. Amazon Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (foam) | Firmness: Medium | Height: 11.5 inches| Warranty: Limited lifetime | Trial period: 100 nights | Certifications: Greenguard Gold, CertiPUR-US Certified Best for: Skip if: If your teen is the type who flops on their back, then rolls to their side over and over again, the Helix Midnight is a great medium-firmness hybrid option that'll properly support various sleeping positions While the knit cover is already breathable to help keep teens cool, parents can choose to upgrade to a GalcioTex cooling pillow top for extra temperature regulation. The mattress is on the softer side compared to others on this list, though, so edge support isn't as robust, but it was still rated an 8 out of 10 by our tester. Our testers two teens (ages 14 and 15) loved the Helix Midnight so much they acutally begged to go back to it after testing out several other mattresses in between—and rated it a 10 out of 10. 'Both of my teens have tested this mattress for over two years. It works perfectly for both of them, even though my son is a restless hot sleeper, while my daughter is a peaceful side sleeper,' she says. 'They find it cozy yet supportive. Soft, but not too soft.' She also appreciates the mid-range price point, that it's made in the US (assembled in Arizona, to be exact) and has no fiberglass to worry about. Our senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman, who has also personally tested the Midnight notes that 'it might be a touch too firm for strict side sleepers if they're lighter in weight,' as something for parents to keep in mind. You can also add on in-home delivery setup and removal (or just one or the other) for an additional fee at checkout. WinkBeds Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Mattress type: Hybrid (foam) | Firmness: Softer, luxury firm, firm or plus | Height: 13.5 inches| Warranty: Lifetime | Trial period: 120 nights | Certifications: Oeko-Tek Standard 100, CertiPUR-US Best for: Skip if: Voted our best overall pillow top mattress of 2025, the WinkBed is a hybrid innerspring and foam mattress that let's you select the optimal firmness level for your child, including a 'Plus' option that's specifically designed to support larger bodies (250-pounds and up). A cushy quilted Euro pillow top sits beneath a eucalyptus-derived Tencel cover that's naturally moisture-wicking to keep the sleeper cool, an added bonus for sweaty (and hormonal) teen sleepers to help them get more restful sleep. The perimeter is lined with reinforced coils to provide robust edge support, so no one has to worry about rolling off the bed or sagging off when sitting on the ends. The plush pillowtop and cooling gel-infused foam helps keep teens comfy on the WinkBed. Our tester actually used it with multiple teens during several sleepovers and said not a single one complained of bad sleep or aches afterwards. Her own 13-year-old, who runs hot, was 'very comfortable' at night in terms of temperature and pressure relief. Another Forbes Vetted editor who has been sleeping on the WinkBed for a year says that the softer firmness level would be better for lighter teens who won't require as much firm support. The search for the best teen mattress started with months of in-depth research. I studied competitor reviews, online customer feedback, major mattress brand sites and also utilized our own sleep team's mattress testing conclusions. I noted details such as warranty and sleep trial information, special certifications each mattress had earned from certain organizations that recognized if they were organic, sustainable and the like. I also paid attention to finer features some mattresses offered and others didn't. I also spoke to multiple pediatricians to get their thoughts on features that were important to pay attention to, especially for teenagers whose bodies are still developing, or who may now have different sleep needs compared to younger kids I then sought out well-known mattress brands (and a handful of newer ones) to start testing. My tween and teen personally tested several of the contenders, as well as a variety of other parents with tween and teenage children—some of whom tested their mattress over nearly two full years. Testers are still getting in new mattresses and testing them as of this writing. Each panelist then shared their insights and feedback using the following factors: Panelists noted whether the delivery was easy or difficult, paying particular note if they lived in a multi-story building or were the only adult at home. Some companies just left a giant unwieldy mattress in a box on your doorstep while others offered white glove delivery, setting up the mattress (and hauling away the old one) before they left. Testers noted if there was a strong odor when they first unboxed or unwrapped the mattress, and how long it took that smell to go away (if ever.) Testers were also asked to rate the mattresses' pressure relief on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best. The teens recorded whether they felt it was firm, too soft or just right. Some parents who are similarly sized to their teenagers also tried this out. Some of our testers are teens who play sports who may require greater pressure relief. 'Mattresses that offer sufficient pressure relief in specific areas that are affected from sports can help alleviate discomfort,' says Abelowitz. While older kids aren't likely to be rolling off their beds, we still had panelists note how supportive or unsupportive the edge support felt, both with the teen on it alone, and if a sibling or parent were on the bed with them. We also had them mimic side sleeping to see if the bed slanted one way or another. While it's not as critical for the tween/teen set who probably aren't regularly sharing a bed with another person, the testers (and their parents) were still asked to feel how much motion could be felt on the mattress in a variety of circumstances such as when a parent or sibling lays on it then rolls to the side to get off or when a restless sleeper rolls around on it. To find the best mattress for your teen, you'll need to consider a number of factors. First and foremost, you should consider what position your tween or teen likes to sleep in: on their side, on their back, stomach or a combination of it all. Think about other details like if they're someone who rolls around a lot at night, or likes to sleep with a leg hanging off the side of the bed. This will all help determine the following details: There are several different types of mattresses, and the kind that's best for your tween or teen may just depend on their personal preference and needs: innerspring, memory foam, latex or hybrids which are a combination of types. How firm or soft you want the mattress to be will really depend on your child's preferred sleep position. 'Back sleepers typically require medium to firm mattresses that support the natural curvature of the spine without causing the lower back to sag,' says Abelowitz. Meanwhile, 'mattresses that allow for the hips to sink slightly may be beneficial to side-sleepers to keep their spine aligned.' Stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer mattress. Like kids, tweens and teens bodies are still developing, so parents should be cautious of anything that could off-gas or impact their hormones. Look for products with Greenguard certification, which helps protect children from indoor air pollution,' says Los Angeles-based pediatrician Dr. Steph Lee. She cites furniture and fabrics as some major sources of indoor air pollutants, along with tobacco smoke, gas stoves, and mold. Other certifications that let you know the mattress is made of organic, sustainable or chemical-free materials include GOLS and GOTS. (Read more about mattress certifications and all they entail from our sleep experts.) Dr. Mary Halsey Maddox, board certified sleep doctor and pediatrician at Sleep Dreams based in Alabama, also recommends airing out new mattresses for a minimum of 72 hours before sleeping on them. 'For my own child, we left the fan going, the windows cracked, and the bedroom door closed for this process,' she says. 'When puberty hits, growth spurts also will follow soon after so if you're looking for a new mattress, make sure it's something your tween can grow into as the years go by before they're off to college or move out of the house,' says Lee. As the size of the mattress increases, so does the price. Teens, however, may benefit from a larger mattress, whether that's a Twin XL so they can comfortably stretch out, or a full or queen that are larger both horizontally and vertically. If your child is especially particular about their sleep environment or has allergies or sensitivities, it's often a good idea to select a mattress with a generous sleep trial policy with easy returns. On the other end, if your child is a hard sleeper, be sure to check details on warranty information to see what they'll cover—and for how long. Since most teens run hotter than adults, having built-in cooling factors—whether it's a naturally breathable fabric, cooling gel or some cooling tech—can be a nice-to-have detail. While few mattresses actually significantly cool down a body, many have better airflow than others, perhaps keeping the sleeper from getting less sweaty while they sleep. Look for details about airflow and breathability. In general, materials like latex will be more breathable than foam. We'd be remiss not to consider the total price as a major factor. On average, quality brand name full-size mattresses run anywhere from $600 to over $1,800. A mattress is a significant investment, so you'll need to consider how long it'll be used, if it'll be passed down to younger siblings or if you'll be able to transition it to a guest bed if your teen leaves home in a few years to take advantage of its longevity. That said, mattresses made in the US or those that use all or mostly certified organic and natural materials tend to be higher priced than their counterparts, so you'll have to weight what's most important to you—and what you're willing to shell out for. I'm a longtime parenting journalist and product tester with a primary focus on kid and baby gear. I'm also a parent to three, including an 11-year-old and 13-year-old who has, over the past decade, tried out everything from crib mattresses to adult mattresses and everything in between. I regularly interview sleep experts and pediatricians to keep up to date on any new guidelines and safety information in regards to products that impact kids in particular. In addition to testing products for this article along with other panelists, I also tapped several pediatricians and sleep experts to get their advice on specific features and considerations to think of when shopping for a mattress for tweens and teens: What Is The Best Mattress For A 13-Year-Old? 'The ideal mattress for a 13-year-old depends on their unique sleep needs and sleep hygiene,' says Abelowitz. Take into consideration factors like the position they prefer to sleep in, if they tend to run hot or cold and if they tend to toss and turn a lot. What Type Of Bed Should A 14-Year-Old Have? 'A 14-year-old should have a bed that fits their body comfortably. It should not be so small that their legs hang off the end, but they do not need a California King either," says Maddox. "Some teens are fine in a twin, others need a double or queen. If they are sharing a bed with a sibling, I recommend no smaller than a queen.' What Firmness Is Best For Teenagers? The ideal firmness really depends on how they prefer to sleep: on their sides, stomach, back or a combination of some or all. According to Maddox, 'Side sleepers tend to do better with a softer mattress and back sleepers tend to like more firm mattresses, but these are generalizations.' She recommends having your teen try various types of mattresses first to see what feels most comfortable before committing.

Memorial Day is a good time to buy a mattress if you're in the market for one. Some of the sales are generous, especially the ones that throw in extra pillows and bedding. I've been doing this long enough to notice sales trends across brands. For instance, Saatva usually peaks around $600 off mattresses, while Nectar has been known to mark 50% off. Most big names offer sales within a specific range, so if you can't afford a mattress right now, don't sweat it. There's always another holiday coming. Should you wait until Prime Day to buy a mattress? No, it's not necessarily better to wait until Amazon Prime Day in July to buy a new mattress. While some brands will offer deals around that time, nearly all mattress companies offer discounts around Memorial Day. Additionally, upcoming tariffs may increase the prices of mattresses across the board, so if you want to snag a new bed for a lower price, significant sales are happening now. Our sleep and deals experts monitor the web to uncover the best discounts and help you save big. Check back, as we update our deals pages often.
