The 55 Best Black Friday Mattress Deals

Former Strategist writer Lori Keong tested the Luxury Firm version of this hybrid and was immediately taken by how plush and bouncy it was. “The innersprings are a big plus, but they’re buried far beneath the layers of foam,” Keong says. “I was amazed at just how propped-up and aligned my body felt while supine, yet how comfortably I slept thanks to the padding of the quilted-foam top.”

Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo felt “incredibly well supported” by her pillow-top latex mattress and appreciated its “naturally antimicrobial, more breathable, and dust-mite resistant” properties.

Former Strategist senior writer Karen Iorio Adelson, an avid runner, found the all-foam Bear Mattress to be a great pick for athletes.

According to Strategist contributor Steven John, the brand’s top-of-the-line Bear Hybrid — a foam-and-spring mattress — makes him “fall asleep faster than I have on just about any other mattress I’ve ever tried.”

Strategist editor Maxine Builder called the Birch Natural “supportive yet plush,” describing it as “a dream for a stomach sleeper like me, who tosses and turns throughout the night.”

The brand’s Aurora Luxe hybrid mattress comes in three firmness levels and is equipped with an array of cooling features, including copper-infused foam.

Several Strategist staffers have tested the brand’s all-foam original mattress and say it’s great for just about everyone — except hot sleepers.

According to Miles, Casper’s down pillow strikes just the right balance between cushiony and supportive.

We like the brand’s Cocoon Chill mattress, which Strategist senior editor Simone Kitchens says banished her “usual roll-out-of-bed lower-back creakiness.”

The brand’s signature hybrid model is made with four layers of gel memory foam as well as innerspring coils.

Our best memory-foam pillow for side sleepers is on sale for 33 percent off. It’s also great for hot sleepers as it is infused with copper gel, which helps to wick away moisture, and has perforation holes that allow air to circulate.

When Miles tested out the Pod 3 cover, which can be used with any mattress, she said the temperature control “felt almost magical” and kept her “comfortable all night.” And when Strategist writer and “human space heater” Dominique Pariso tested an earlier model of the cover, she not only stopped sweating through her sheets but got the best sleep of her life. The brand’s latest PerfectFit cover will fit over any size mattress you have, but if you’re looking to replace your whole sleep setup, Eight Sleep also offers a five-layer mattress for an additional $1,550.

The brand’s signature mattress is made of all foam and has a cooling layer on top, which former Strategist associate editor Louis Cheslaw says is “a solid choice for side-sleepers who get hot easily and like an all-foam mattress that skews soft.”

Designed to offer pressure-point relief, the Helix Midnight mattress is especially well-suited for side sleepers or those who toss and turn at night.

The Helix Dawn is one of our favorite hybrid mattresses with former Strategist associate editor Louis Cheslaw calling it “an affordable and firm hybrid mattress that avoids that sinking feeling, thanks to its balanced combination of springs and foam.” After testing it out, he said he “never woke up feeling hot, sweaty, or achy in the morning.”

Layla’s Hybrid mattress is the best flippable hybrid mattress, according to Strategist writer Tembe Denton-Hurst. She and her partner have “slept on both sides, firm and soft, and each proved supportive,” she says, adding that “while there are cheaper hybrid mattresses, the ability to simply flip this one should you want a softer or firmer feel makes it worth the investment, especially if you’re sharing a mattress with someone who prefers a different feel.”

“Both supportive and pillowy soft, this copper-gel-bead-infused memory foam topper by Layla is designed to pull heat away from your body while you sleep,” Miles writes in our guide to the best cooling mattress toppers. “The copper infusion keeps your body cool and creates an antimicrobial sleeping surface.”

You can get up to $200 off the brand’s Original mattress, a ten-inch-thick, all-foam model that Builder says “offers excellent pressure relief” and “should suit all kinds of sleepers.”

The brand’s Molecule 1 Mattress, now 30 percent off, has three layers of proprietary memory foam, including one that’s gel-infused, and is topped with a cooling cover — ideal for even the sweatiest of sleepers.

We recommend the Nectar Memory-Foam Mattress, which is “surprisingly enveloping” and has “just the right amount of give.”

This top-rated latex-hybrid model is now 20 percent off and available in three levels of firmness: plush, medium, or firm.

Now 20 percent off, this weighted blanket is currently available in two sizes — 18 pounds (queen) or 25 pounds (king).

We found the Nolah Original to be the best option for side sleepers who “move around and skew hot.”

Our pick for the best innerspring mattress, Parachute’s Eco Comfort mattress was the only mattress we tested with no foam. “My initial impression was one of sleeping on a very sturdy topper floating on nothing — I immediately noticed that my body heat was no longer trapped beneath me,” writes former Strategist senior editor Margaret Rhodes.

“Before sleeping on the Natural Bliss, I slept on a spring-and-foam mattress and would occasionally wake up with tension in my muscles,” says former Strategist writer Hillary Reid. “But I never woke up tense after a night on the latex Natural Bliss; in fact, I often woke with my muscles feeling noticeably relaxed.”

We found Purple’s baseline mattress “well suited to those who sleep hot and hate foam,” thanks to its breathable gel grid.

Back sleepers will love the brand’s Harmony pillow, which is made from the same grid construction as its mattresses. When Miles tested it out, she says she slept noticeably cooler.

Saatva’s classic mattress is our pick for the best overall mattress, thanks to its combo of inner springs, memory foam, and a pillow top that comes in three different firmness levels, providing options for all sorts of sleepers. Senior editor Simone Kitchens, who suffers from back pain, found that “the supported feeling of this bed kept my lower back from collapsing in, making my spine feel more aligned overall.”

When Miles tested this pillow, she found that the weighty latex fill was “uniquely supportive and buoyant,” adding that “it keeps its shape throughout the night, even when I’m using it as a body pillow to support my torso, knees, and hips.”

You can currently take 20 percent off Sealy’s most popular model, the Posturepedic.

You can also snag $300 off the Sealy Naturals mattress, made with organic cotton, 100 percent natural latex, hemp fibers, and an ethically sourced wool blend.

This Estate Collection mattress was developed by sleep scientists at Tempur-Pedic and is available in gel memory foam and standard memory foam.

The Tempur-Cloud is a medium-soft, all-foam style, now 30 percent off.

You can also save $200 on the brand’s Adapt model, which, true to its name, is designed to adapt to your weight, shape, and body temperature.

Strategist writer (and back sleeper) Lauren Ro says the Tuft & Needle Original mattress made her feel both “supported and cocooned at the same time.”

New York features editor Katy Schneider found that the “luxury firm” version of the WinkBeds mattress is supportive enough to reduce back pain and minimize the feeling of any movement, if you sleep with someone who tends to toss and turn. (In terms of firmness levels, luxury firm falls between “soft” and “firmer.”)

The brand’s best-selling gel-foam mattress has a removable, machine-washable cover for easy cleaning.

New York deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff is an avowed fan of Yogasleep’s Dohm white-noise machine, writing, “It’s what puts me (and now my husband) to sleep every night, like a warm cup of milk.”
