This story is part of the Forbes Shopping guide to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, where we’ll be tracking the best deals all month long.
There may be a lot of focus on all the good sales on tech and electronics right now, but Cyber Monday is actually one of the best times to score a great deal on a mattress. Right now, pretty much every mattress you can buy online is on sale and while that definitely gives you options, it can make narrowing things down pretty difficult, especially since you can’t test each mattress yourself.
Save $300 on the Purple Hybrid Premier 4 with these Cyber Monday mattress deals.
Since Cyber Monday is coming to a close, we wanted to make things easier by rounding up the best mattresses that are sale right now. From Helix and Casper to Purple and Saatva, there’s something here for every type of sleeper. And if you want to see a full list of Cyber Monday mattress deals instead, head over to our mattress roundup.
Helix Midnight LUXE
One of the most versatile and compromise-friendly mattresses out there, the Helix Midnight LUXE regularly gets rave reviews across the board. The mattress is made from layers of high-density memory foam, gel visco, support coils and a Tencel pillow-top cover that’s as breathable as it is comfortable.
As far as firmness goes, it falls smack in the middle, rated a four to seven out of 10 on the firmness scale. That means it has just enough give to feel comfortable, but not too much give that you feel like your spine is totally out of alignment as you sleep. A medium feel mattress is also ideal for most types of sleepers, which makes this mattress an excellent pick for couples who have a hard time finding a mattress middle ground.
If you’re not totally sold on the Helix Midnight, Helix has 13—that’s right, 13—different mattresses in a variety of firmness levels. Helix even makes a mattress specifically designed for heavier sleepers, called the Helix Plus.
Compared to Helix’s regular mattresses, all of the LUXE models have additional comfort layers, zoned lumbar support and a premium quilted pillow top that makes them feel more like a luxury mattress. They’re also two inches taller, if you like some height on your mattress.
If you’ve been considered the Helix Midnight LUXE, or any Helix mattress, at all, now’s your chance to buy at a great price, with $200 off and two free dream pillows with any purchase.
Nectar Lush
The Nectar Premier mattress is definitely a fan favorite, but with advanced pressure relief and exceptional edge-to-edge support, that’s not really surprising. This 12-inch mattress is made of five stacked layers—a luxurious foam base, a high-density memory foam, a padded foam layer, a gel-coated cooling memory foam and a cooling cover—that cradle your body in equal amounts of cushion and support.
Unlike other memory foam mattresses that you sink into, and can have a difficult time getting out of, the higher density memory foam provides more of a floating feeling, so you feel like you’re lying on top of the mattress, rather than getting stuck in it. It also provides a faster response time, so if you toss and turn in the middle of the night, the mattress will react to your movement a lot quicker than with traditional memory foam.
Another thing that makes the Nectar Lush mattress stand out from other bed-in-a-box types is that it doesn't need a specialized base. Instead of having to shell out extra cash for a platform-style base, you can just swap your old mattress out and use what you have.
Right now, Nectar Lush is offering one of the best Cyber Monday mattress deals with discounted mattress plus $498 of accessories, including a mattress protector, Google Nest Hub with Sleep Sensing Technology, a sheet set, and two cooling pillows.
Casper Wave Hybrid
If you need some relief from back pain, or you want to make sure you stay pain-free, look no further than the Casper Wave Hybrid mattress. The hybrid design combines foam and individually-wrapped springs to give you extra support and unhindered airflow, which means your back stays in perfect alignment—and you stay cool—as you sleep.
Like the Nectar Lush, it has five layers—an individually-wrapped coil base, three layers of supportive memory foam with various ergonomic zones, and a thin layer of cooling gel. It also has gel pods that are integrated into one of the foam layers and strategically placed under your waist and lower back for additional support to help keep your spine aligned in any sleeping position.
As an added bonus, the mattress cover is made up of 121 recycled bottles, so you can get a better night’s sleep while doing your part to save the planet. So if you’re ready to get a mattress that you’ll actually love, Casper is offering 20% off as part of their Cyber Monday sale.
Purple Hybrid Premier 4
The Hybrid Premier 4 is Purple’s top of the line mattress. It has a 4-inch grid (compared to the 2 to 3 inches of the other mattress models) that’s designed to give you a totally weightless, zero-gravity feel no matter which position you sleep in. The star of the show is a hyper-elastic polymer grid that flexes under pressure and expertly contours to your body. That means you experience less pressure on your joints and spine and a faster response time when you move through the night.
The grid also has open air channels that allow air to circulate so, unlike traditional memory foam, this mattress doesn’t trap your body heat. Instead, the mattress stays temperature neutral and you sleep cooler.
The Purple Hybrid Premier 4 is a luxury mattress and the price reflects that, but now’s your chance to snag one at $300 off. And who can put a price on good sleep?
Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic Mattress is basically in a class of its own. Unlike the other mattresses on this list, which come vacuum-sealed in a box, each Saatva mattress is handmade to order and delivered right to your bedroom in its fully expanded form, thanks to free white glove delivery.
This mattress is classified as an innerspring hybrid mattress, which means it combines coil layers with foam. The foundation of the mattress is made up of steel support coils, on top of which lie two comfort layers—one with advanced lumbar support technology and the other with high-quality memory foam—that are designed to keep your spine perfectly aligned while simultaneously alleviating pressure and reducing stress and tension in your back. And for the cherry on top: Everything is wrapped up in a thick, luxury Euro pillow top that’s made of luxurious organic cotton.
Because each mattress is handmade to order, you can customize your mattress as you go. There are three comfort levels—plush soft, luxury firm, and firm—and two mattress heights—11.5” and 14.5”. Fair warning though, if you get the thicker mattress, you’ll need deep-pocketed sheets. But since Saatva is offering $200 of any purchase of $1,000 or more during its Cyber Monday sale, you’ll have plenty of leftover cash to upgrade your bedding too.
How do I choose a mattress?
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mattresses. The best mattress for you depends on a variety of factors, like your sleeping position, whether or not you have chronic pain and even your weight. When choosing a mattress, you want to consider all of these things.
First, you can narrow it down to the best mattresses according to your preferred sleeping position, then you can move into what you’d like the mattress to do. Do you need to alleviate back pain? Do you need more give to help with shoulder and hip pain? Once you’ve answered these questions, you can read the specifics of each mattress to see which one is the best fit for you.
Keep in mind that the best mattress for you may not be what you think. For example, you may dream of a soft, plush mattress that you sink into, but if you have chronic back pain, you need a firmer mattress that helps align your spine. Try to keep an open mind as you shop and choose the mattress that’s properly designed for you.
