If you need a new mattress, any sales event is a good time to look for one. Most mattresses are marketed with “discounts” most of the year, but we track prices to highlight when a deal is actually a deal. With the latest Amazon Prime Day—technically called Prime Big Deal Days—happening on October 10 and 11, you’ll likely find some solid prices, whether you’re buying a bed from Amazon or not. We’ll update this list when the event starts, but until then, a few of our favorites are already discounted. The prices below are for queen sizes.
Be sure to check out our other early deals on Apple products, laptops, and TVs.
Updated September 2023: We’ve updated this with current deals ahead of the latest Prime Day.

We think this will likely get even cheaper. It’s frequently $1,196 on Amazon, so you might save a few more bucks if you can wait. Casper put bed-in-a-box mattresses on the map and its hybrid is a great neutral option. Did you read our guide and have no idea which one to go with? Get this one. It strikes a good balance between soft and supportive, with just enough bounce.

This deal is still technically a Labor Day sale—we told you these deals aren’t rare—but we did see it drop to $1,780 on actual Labor Day. The Midnight Luxe is our favorite mattress with six layers of foam and individually wrapped inner springs. It’s medium-firm and comfortable for almost all sleeping positions. There are other firmness levels within the Luxe collection that we didn’t test yet.
Enter code LDS20 at checkout to get this deal. It also includes two pillows. We’ve been fans of the above Helix for years, but this one is a new addition to our guide. It dropped to $2,577 during Prime Day in July. Like with the Luxe, the Elite collection includes six mattresses, so you can choose your perfect firmness. WIRED reviews editor Martin Cizmar slept on the soft Sunset model. These ones are a thick 16 inches, and they come in two heavy boxes. One box holds the bottom layer and the other determines the softness level. They zip into a larger support system to form one, hopefully perfect, bed.
If you aren’t ready for a whole new mattress, spruce up your existing one with a mattress topper. This organic latex choice from My Green Mattress is our favorite firm topper—it’s 2 inches high, has a zipper if you need to remove the organic cotton cover from the pad, and stays in place nicely without needing any straps.
