Black Friday mattress deals 2024: The best sales to shop today

2. The Allswell 10" Hybrid Mattress (queen): $317 $284 at Walmart
Price last month: $317
Lowest this year: $299
Last year: $289
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★
Firmness: 7/10
Best for: All sleepers; back pain; couples; hot sleepers; heavier bodies

The bottom line: It's rare to find a hybrid mattress at this low price, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Allswell 10" Hybrid deal sells out at Walmart this weekend. We rate The Allswell as one of the best cheap mattresses for people who like a firmer feeling mattress – we don't recommend this to side sleepers who like a softer mattress (try the Zinus Memory Foam for $229 for a queen at Amazon instead). The lead tester for our Allswell mattress review was impressed with how well it reduced pressure points, and found the edge support to be strong for such a cheap mattress. The Allswell 10" Hybrid is rarely on sale, but this Black Friday you buy a queen size for $284 (was $317). We don’t know how long this discount will last, so we advise buying sooner to avoid disappointment.

3. The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress (queen): $665 at DreamCloud
Price last month: $665
Lowest this year: $665
Last year: $665
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★1/2
Best for: Most people; hot sleepers; back and hip pain; heavier bodies

The bottom line: If you love the sound of the Saatva Classic (above) but have a smaller budget, The DreamCloud hybrid is our top alternative recommendation. All the testers for our DreamCloud mattress review loved sleeping on this hybrid, noting that while it does need a couple of weeks' breaking in, after that it's one of the comfiest beds you'll sleep on. We rate the DreamCloud as this year's best mattress in a box for all budgets, with a queen size costing $665 right now. That price has been in place since last Black Friday, thanks to a monthly DreamCloud mattress sale offering up to 50% off. Considering The DreamCloud is over $1,000 cheaper than the Saatva Classic, you're still getting a lot of mattress for your money here. The benefits are nearly as good too, with a lifetime warranty and a year's sleep trial. DreamCloud only comes with free standard shipping though – Saatva's free White Glove Delivery includes installation and the team will take away your packaging and old mattress and base. If you're looking for a plush memory foam mattress, DreamCloud offers an even cheaper option with the DreamCloud Memory Foam mattress, starting at just $299.

4. Casper The One (queen): $999 $799 at Casper
Queen price last month: $870
Lowest this year: $799
Last year: N/A (launched this year)
Likelihood of new discount: Low

User review score: ★★★★1/2
Best for: Couples; aches and pains; hot sleepers who like memory foam mattresses

The bottom line: The Casper is the brand's best memory foam mattress for smaller budgets and a great choice for people who want a pressure relieving mattress without spending the earth. Despite being made with memory foam, The One is firmer than you might expect, providing good spinal alignment, particularly for back sleepers. It also feels cooler than many comparable memory foam mattresses thanks to its use of open cell foam to help keep air flowing and prevent overheating by wicking away excess body heat. A queen Casper The One is on sale for $799 (was $999) this Black Friday, and you’ll get a 100-night trial, 10-year warranty and free delivery too. This deal matches the best discount we saw during Labor Day, so now is a great time to buy The One at the cheapest price of 2024. While The One is made of memory foam, it is much firmer than you'd expect. For an all-foam mattress that's a touch softer, we recommend the Nectar Classic Memory Foam ($649 for a queen at Nectar, with an extra $100 off orders worth $1,000+).

5. Nectar Classic Memory Foam (queen): $649 at Nectar
Price last month: $649
Lowest this year: $599
Last year: $659
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★1/2
Firmness: 6.5-7/10
Best for: side sleepers, couples

The bottom line: If you're looking for outstanding value at an affordable price, the Nectar Memory Foam mattress is a top choice all year round. It isn’t cheaper for Black Friday: you can buy a twin for $349 or a queen for $649 most months. But these are extremely competitive prices for a high-quality, mid-range mattress that performed well in our all tests. We think it’s the best memory foam mattress under $1,000: you get the the hug-like, cushioned comfort you expect from memory foam, with excellent pressure relief and full-body support, plus good cooling capabilities - and it’s more affordable than most of its closest rivals (with a huge 365-night trial and lifetime warranty). Could the price drop further for Black Friday? There was a flash sale at the start of November that took an extra $50 off a queen… but we don’t expect this to happen again.

6. Helix Midnight Luxe (queen): $2.373.33 $1,732 at Helix
Price last month: $1,780
Lowest this year: $1,614
Last year: $1,899
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★1/2
Firmness: 6/10
Best for: Side sleepers; back sleepers; couples

The bottom line: Several members of our testing team have slept on the Helix Midnight Luxe and rate it as an excellent  mattress for side sleepers thanks to how it virtually eliminates all pressure points around the hips, shoulders and knees (key points when you're lying on your side). We awarded it 4.5/5 stars in our Helix Midnight Luxe review and reported on its excellent motion isolation too, making it a good choice for couples who normally wake each other when changing sleeping position. The general public Helix mattress sale is offering 25% off plus two free bedding, but use our exclusive deal code TOMS27 at checkout and you’ll get 27% off plus a free bedding bundle worth up to $330 with this Helix Black Friday deal. That makes a queen size $50 cheaper than Labor Day, and $166 lower than Black Friday last year. The standard Helix Midnight is cheaper still at $999 with two free pillows.

7. Emma Hybrid 10” Cooling Mattress (queen): $1,349 $607.50 at Emma
Price last month: $674.50
Lowest this year: $607.50
Last year: N/A
Likelihood of new discount: Low

User review score: ★★★★
Firmness: 6/10
Best for: Side sleepers; back sleepers; couples

The bottom line: Emma’s cheapest cooling mattress comes with a breathable cover to wick away moisture, along with the brand’s Airgocell foam that absorbs and releases body heat to ensure sleepers don’t overheat. The pocket spring layer enhances airflow but also has seven zones to ensure support where you need it. We haven’t tested the mattress yet, but Emma rates it at 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, which should give the mattress a medium firm feel that should appeal to average weight back and side sleepers. A queen is $607.50 (was $1,349) in a 50% off sale. With our exclusive discount code you can get an extra 10% off at checkout, making the total saving 60%. Enter TOMS10 at checkout to get this deal.

8. Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea mattress (queen): $999 $699 at Zinus

Price last month: $999
Lowest this year: $699
Last year: $649
Likelihood of new discount: Low

User review score: ★★★★
Firmness: 5.5/10
Best for: Hot sleepers; couples; guest bedrooms

The bottom line: Zinus is arguably one of the most well-known cheap mattress brands in America, and the 12” Ultra Cooling Green Tea mattress is a relatively newcomer to the brand's range. Memory foam mattresses are known for retaining heat, which makes them uncomfortable for hot sleepers to lie on. Zinus attempts to get around this by using gel memory foam (cooling and pressure relieving) coupled with coils to promote better airflow through the mattress. The Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea mattress also has zone support to create a firmer feel around your lower back to keep your spine aligned during sleep (prevents aches and pains), while wrapping more contouring comfort around your shoulders and hips. This Black Friday deal is one of the best we've seen from Zinus, with a queen size Ultra Cooling Green Tea mattress on sale for $699 (was $999). We do question the durability of cheaper mattresses, but Zinus has added a 10-year warranty to this model so it should last a good eight years before it needs replacing. If you sleep really hot, try the Bear Elite Hybrid ($1,383 for a queen at Bear) instead.

9. Bear Elite Hybrid mattress (queen): $2.305 $1,383 at Bear

Price last month: $1,499
Lowest this year: $1,499
Last year: $1,499
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★1/2
Firmness: 6
Best for: side sleepers

The bottom line: This luxury hybrid mattress is now on sale for its lowest price this year, down to $1,383 - that's $116 cheaper than last month's price. This is one of the best mattresses for side sleepers, using copper-infused memory foam to provide a comfy sleep experience. In our Bear Elite Hybrid review, out mattress tester praised its motion isolation, coolness and pressure relief. This mattress is also endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association. Bear offers some excellent benefits: 120-night trial, lifetime warranty and free shipping returns. Our exclusive discount code gives you 40% off, instead of the usual 35%, plus you'll get two free luxury cooling pillows. Simply enter the code TOM40 at checkout to get the best saving.

10. Nolah Evolution 15 mattress: $1,499 $924 at Nolah
Price last month: $1,749
Lowest this year: $1,624
Last year: $1,624
Likelihood of new discount: Low

Review score: ★★★★
Firmness: 6.5-7/10
Best for: Painful joints; lower back pain; back sleepers

The bottom line: The Nolah Evolution 15 is a luxury hybrid mattress that comes in your choice of three firmness levels. The lead tester for our Nolah Evolution 15 mattress review rated it highly for comfort and pressure relief, but noted that lightweight sleepers (weighing under 130lbs) would be more comfortable on the softest version. We tested the medium firm and rate it as a 6.5/7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, enjoying it the most for back and stomach sleeping. The cheapest price we've seen a queen size Nolah Evolution 15 sell for this year is $1,624, which matches the best Black Friday deal we spotted on it last year. Today however you can buy a queen size Evolution 15 for $1,574 (was $2,399) thanks to a 35% Nolah mattress sale offer plus an extra $50 when you use the code TOMSGUIDE50 at checkout. We recommend it to people who joint pain, but if you longterm, chronic back and joint pain, consider upgrading to the Saatva RX instead (priced $2,895 at Saatva), which is our best-rated mattress for back pain.

10” Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress: from $199.99 $159.99 at Linenspa
The 10” Linenspa Memory Foam Mattress is one of the best hybrid mattresses for those on a budget. Even though Linenspa rarely ever discounts this hybrid mattress, you’ll always get a queen-size for under $350. However, thanks to a well-hidden 20% off sale (you need to add the mattress to your cart to see the sale price), a queen is now $255.99 down from $319.99. We’ve never seen a discount higher than 20% off, so we suggest snagging this deal while you can. Our Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress review praised the incredibly cheap price, but if you want an affordable hybrid with better cooling and motion isolation, go for the Allswell Hybrid above.

Tulo Bamboo 10" Medium Plush Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: from $569.99 $215.99 at Mattress Firm
Designed for side sleepers in need of body-contouring pressure relief, the Tulo 10” Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress is an all-foam model made from naturally clean materials. These materials include naturally breathable bamboo threads and antimicrobial green tea infused into the memory foam. Right now, a queen is an impressive 62% off, taking the $789.99 MSRP down to just $299.99. We doubt we’ll see such an epic discount drop further, so now is the right time to buy. While its memory foam design will suit side sleepers, front and back sleepers may want to try a supportive hybrid like the Linenspa and Allswell above.

Helix Dusk Luxe: was from $1,373.33 $1,002.54 at Helix
The Helix Dusk Luxe takes top place in our best mattress for stomach sleepers guide, thanks to its body contouring and medium feel support (we rated it 6/10 in our Helix Dusk Luxe mattress review). However, if you’re a hot sleeper, we’d suggest opting for the Avocado Green mattress, below. Enter code TOMS27 and you’ll get 27% off in the Helix Black Friday sale plus a free bedding bundle, bringing a queen down to $1,732.54 (was $2,373.33), and you’ll get a 100-night sleep trial, 10-15 year warranty, and free shipping. We don’t expect the discount to increase, so it’s worth taking advantage of as soon as possible.

Avocado Green: was from $1,399 $1,189 at Avocado
While the Avocado is rated as our best organic mattress, as well as being one of the best for stomach sleepers. This mattress is ACA endorsed and in our Avocado Green mattress review we reported superior comfort for stomach sleeping, thanks to the firmer feel. Unlike the Helix, the Avocado is available in firm, medium and plush. Currently there’s 15% off, bringing a queen down to $1,699 (was $1,999), and you’ll get better perks than Helix, with a 1-year trial, 25-year warranty and free shipping. It’s still a premium price, so if you’re shopping on a budget, consider the Siena below.

Siena Memory Foam mattress: was from $529 from $189 at Siena
The Siena is a fantastic option for those shopping on a budget (in fact it’s our best cheap mattress). The firm feel of this bed, we agreed 8.5/10 in our Siena Memory Foam mattress review, will keep your spine aligned when stomach sleeping, as well as offering a little give around key pressure points. If you prefer a more luxury feel, opt for the Helix Dusk Luxe. With up to 60% off, a queen is now $379 (was $769) which is better than last year’s Black Friday sale, and you’ll get a 180-night sleep trial, 10-year warranty, and free shipping and returns.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt: was from $1,699 now from $1,499
The Tempur-Adapt is one of the best mattresses for pressure relief, featuring over 1,000 springs and ergonomic support. It also has a comfy cradling foam layer. Right now, you can save $200 on this mattress, with a queen size going for $1,999 (was $2,199), bringing it down to the cheapest price we’ve seen this year. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, you can try the Leesa Original, which is currently $1,049 for a queen.

Helix Midnight: was from $699 now from $932 at Helix Sleep
The Helix Midnight made our list of the best mattresses for side sleepers but it’s also a fantastic choice for back sleepers thanks to its outstanding lumbar support. A queen is currently $999 (was $1,332) which is a fantastic price, but not the cheapest we’ve seen it for this year. Helix offered deeper discounts during its Prime Day sale, so we could see it drop further in Black Friday sales. Helix offers free delivery, a 100-night sleep trial, and a 15-year warranty with its mattresses, so you can rest assured that your purchase is well-protected.

Plank Firm: was from $749 now from $524.30
If you want the ultimate firm sleep that will help correct your posture, we recommend the Plank Firm which is currently $932.40 for a queen (was $1,332). This is the firmest all-foam mattress on the market right now and is one of the best for spinal alignment. The current discount is 30% off, which is slightly lower than the regular 25% discount we’ve seen throughout the year. We reckon this is the lowest price we’ll see for the Plank this year. If you want a cheaper alternative, you can try the DreamCloud Hybrid, which starts at just $419 (queen for $665).

Saatva RX mattress: from $1,995 $1,695 at Saatva
The Saatva RX is our best mattress for back pain and has been crafted specifically to ease chronic back ailments. During our Saatva RX mattress review, our lead tester with mild scoliosis found a marked improvement in her pain when sleeping on this bed. There’s $400 off the RX in our exclusive Saatva Black Friday mattress sale, which brings the price of a queen down to $2,895 (was $3,295). Although we have seen it slightly cheaper ($2,801 in mid-Oct), this is an excellent price that we can’t see being beaten any time soon.

DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress : from $1,130 from $419 at DreamCloud
If you like the sound of the Saatva RX but have a smaller budget, the DreamCloud is an excellent alternative. Granted, this 50% off DreamCloud Black Friday mattress sale is one we’re used to seeing but it’s still exceptional value all year-round and brings the price of a queen down to $665 (was $1,613.) It comes in one firmness option that, during our DreamCloud mattress review, our tester rated it as 7/10. If you’re looking for customizable firmness options, opt for the Nolah (below) instead.

Nolah Evolution 15 mattress: from $1,499 from $974 at Nolah
The Nolah Evolution 15 mattress is our top choice for those with lower back pain, thanks to its zoned lumbar support and customizable firmness options. In our Nolah Evolution 15 mattress review, our lead tester rated this top-rated hybrid mattress highly for its motion isolation and temperature regulation, but felt that edge support was a little weak (opt for the Saatva RX if a sturdy edge is important to you). Right now, a queen is $1,624 (was $2,499), which is an excellent price, plus you’ll get two free pillows thrown in.

Big Fig Mattress: from $1,499 $999 at Big Fig
Offering sturdy support for plus-sized back and stomach sleepers, with third-party durability testing to avoid the dreaded sag, the Big Fig is one of the best mattresses for heavy people. The current $500 off Black Friday sale is a rare chance for a generous saving — we’re used to seeing $350 off. Right now a queen is $1,399 (was $1,899) and we predict this is the best deal we’ll see this year. If you have a smaller budget, try the Titan Plus below.

Titan Plus Mattress: from $699 $489.30 at Titan
The Titan Plus Mattress is the rare specialist mattress for bigger bodies that doesn’t come at a premium price. In the 30% off sale, this firm and supportive mattress is just $874.30 for a queen, reduced from $1,249. Always competitively priced, this deal is a step above the usual 25% off, matching the best price of the year. The firmer feel might be too hard for side sleepers — if budget allows, consider the WinkBed Plus below.

WinkBed Plus Mattress: from $1,349 $1,049 at WinkBed
Our WinkBed Mattress review team found this hand-crafted model delivers ample support and the best luxury mattress experience for sleepers weighing over 250lbs. WinkBed’s evergreen sale reduces a queen Plus to $1,699 from $1,999. We don’t predict anything better for Black Friday, but this sumptuous specialist bed is still worth shopping. For those on a tighter budget, the Titan Plus above is a comfortable alternative.

Sleep Number iLE Limited Edition 360 smart bed: from $4,899 from $2,449.50 at Sleep Number
From the leading smart bed brand, the iLE Limited Edition smart bed regulates temperature through its Climate360 feature. Via a mobile app, you can adjust temperature on each bed side, making it a great choice for hot sleepers who share a bed. The mattress tracks and adjusts your temperature through the night to keep you at an optimal sleep climate. There is 50% off in Sleep Number’s Black Friday closeout sale, bringing a queen to $2,749.50 (was $5,499). While this is an outstanding deal, you still pay a premium for the smart technology here. If you’re shopping for something less tech-savvy, consider the Saatva below.

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress: from $1,595 $1,195 at Saatva
We believe the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is the best cooling mattress from Saatva. It features breathable, moisture-wicking material along with naturally hypoallergenic Talalay latex. So, if you're tired of hot flushes and want luxury comfort, this is the deal for you. The latex offers body contouring and pressure relief — a great mattress for all side sleepers and anyone experiencing back and joint pain. A queen is now $1,995 (was $2,395) in Saatva’s Black Friday sale, which is a rare discount and great value for money considering its plush comfort and cooling prowess. But if the budget doesn’t stretch, find Zinus’ budget cooling mattress deal below.

Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea Mattress: from $699 from $449 at Zinus
The Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea is the cooler upgrade of the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress complete with a gel-infused layer and cool-to-touch, moisture-wicking cover. It offers hugging comfort and contouring pressure relief, making it a great budget buy for hot-running side sleepers. Unlike other brands, Zinus doesn’t run evergreen sales but, as we’re approaching Black Friday, you can get 44% off right now bringing a queen to $499 (was $899). If you prefer a firmer foam sleep surface, we recommend the Puffy Cloud Mattress.
