Best alternative: The DreamCloud ($419 at DreamCloud)

Our verdict: Saatva hasn't launched its 4th of July mattress sale yet, but if you need a new mattress now, this is the best deal you'll find on the top-rated mattress in our rankings. This deluxe innerspring hybrid is highly customizable, with three different firmness levels and two different heights on offer. During our Saatva Classic mattress review we found that this luxury innerspring hybrid delivers everything you need for a restful night's sleep: comfort, lower back support and full body pressure relief. It doesn't retain heat either. The Saatva Classic isn't cheap at $1,781 for a queen (was $2,095), but it comes with market-leading benefits: free white glove delivery and setup, a year's trial and a forever warranty. We have seen it cheaper this year though ($1,695 for a queen on Memorial Day), so if you can wait it's worth seeing if this deal improves.

1. Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress: save up to $830 at Emma Sleep
Deal quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $409 (was $812)
Queen: $659 (was $1,319)

All sizes: See prices

Mattress type: Memory foam
Firmness: Medium
Benefits: 365-night trial | 10-year warranty | Free shipping

Best alternative: DreamCloud Hybrid ($419 at DreamCloud)

Quick verdict: There's up to 60% off the Emma Hybrid comfort when you enter our exclusive discount code TOM10 at checkout – that's better than Black Friday levels of savings. That means that right now you can pick up a queen for just $659 (was $1,319).The Emma Comfort Hybrid uses Airgocell foam to dissipate heat, which is similar to tech found in more expensive cooling mattresses. It's on the softer side of medium-firm, making it a good choice for side and stomach sleepers who sleep warm. Back sleepers are better off with The DreamCloud, on sale for $665 in a queen. If you have a smaller budget and prefer the feel of memory foam mattresses, the Emma Original is also up to 60% off at Emma Sleep with a queen on sale for $521 – that's better than Black Friday prices.
 

2. Helix Midnight Luxe mattress: up to $862 plus two free pillows at Helix
Deal quality: ★★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $961.63 (was $1,373.75)
Queen: $1,661.66 (was $2,373.80)
King: $2,011.63 (was $2,873.75)
All sizes: See prices
Lowest price this year (queen): $1,661.66 

Mattress type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium-firm
Benefits: 100 night sleep trial | 15 warranty | Free delivery 

Best for: Side and back sleeping couples seeking a plush but supportive sleep surface with excellent motion isolation 

Best alternative: The Helix Midnight ($702.20 at Helix)

Our verdict: Helix’s 4th of July mattress sale is now live, and it includes an epic 30% off the Luxe and Elite range and 25% off the Core models. That means that the Helix Midnight Luxe is back down to its lowest price of the year, bringing the price of a queen down to $1,661.66 from $2,373.80). During our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review, our lead tester was so impressed with its plush, pressure relieving support that it shot straight to the top of our best mattress for side sleepers guide. Despite the plush pillow top, making it supportive enough for back sleepers, too. The enhanced lumbar support works to hold your spine in correct alignment with the rest of your body. That’s why we recommend this bed for side sleepers with back pain. The Luxe boasts reliable edge support and temperature regulation, and outstanding motion isolation. There’s no point holding out for a better deal on the Luxe — this is as low as we’re going to see it. 

3. Linenspa Dreamer 8" Hybrid Mattress: Save up to $170 at Walmart

Deal quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $88 (was $152.99)
Queen: $158 (was $280.99)
King: $188 (was $332.99)
All sizes: See prices 

Mattress type: Memory foam hybrid
Firmness: Medium-firm
Benefits: 10 year warranty 

Best for: Kids and guest beds; small budget

Best alternative: Siena Memory Foam Mattress ($199 at Siena Sleep) 

Quick verdict: Even at full MSRP the Linenspa Dreamer 8” is one of the better cheap mattresses, thanks to its build quality and incredible value for money. However, a new 4th of July mattress sale shaves up to a further $170.99 off. That pushes the price of a queen down to an incredible $158 (was $280.99), which is an excellent price for a hybrid. With a depth of 8", this mattress in on the thinner side, so we would recommend it for kids and guest rooms. For bigger bodies and bed sharers, you'll need a taller bed. The Linenspa is also available in a depth of 10" and 12" and is reduced in this year's 4th of July sales, offering the pressure reliving combination of memory foam and springs. At 8" this is a bed best suited for children, growing teens and adults with a lighter build who don't require plush support. Buying directly from Walmart ensures you get the best price but you won't get a sleep trial or return eligibility. The 10 year warranty still stands though. 

4. Casper The One mattress: save up to $132 at Casper

Deal quality: ★★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin XL: $610 (was $875)
Queen: $870 (was $1,245)
King: $1,220 (was $1,745)
All sizes: See prices

Mattress type: Memory foam
Firmness: Medium-firm
Benefits: 100-night trial | 10-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Stomach and side sleepers who are prone to overheating yet love the contouring feel of memory foam.

Best alternative: The Purple Mattress ($899 at Purple)

Quick verdict: The medium-firm Casper One was recently released as the 'reimagined' Casper Original bed-in-a-box. It's a good choice for side and stomach sleepers who normally overheat in bed, as the layer of Casper Breathe Flex Foam found at the top of the mattress helps dissipate heat. Further layers of memory foam provide contouring and support to major pressure points in those sleep positions, while keeping your body on top of the mattress. Casper's 4th of July sale is a big improvement on recent discounts I've seen from the brand. With 30% off a queen size, The One is reduced to $870 (was $1,245) – that's competitive for a Casper mattress.

5. Amerisleep AS3 mattress: save up to $1,140 at Amerisleep

Deal quality: ★★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $1,249 (was $1,699)
Queen: $1,499 (was $1,949)
King: $1,699 (was $2,149)
All sizes: See prices

Mattress type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium
Benefits: 100-night trial | 20-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Eco-friendly side sleepers wanting a fiberglass-free mattress made with plant-based memory foam.

Best alternative: Helix Midnight Luxe ($1,099 at Helix)

Quick verdict: This 4th of July deal saves you $450 off the Amerisleep AS3, plus you'll get a free foundation (bed base) and luxury bedding – a total saving of up to $1,140. My review team rates the Amerisleep AS3 as one of the best choices for reducing pressure on the shoulders, knees and hips when side sleeping (see the Amerisleep AS3 mattress review for more). While the feel is on the softer side of medium, a series of pocketed coils provide full-body support to ensure your spine stays in healthy alignment. Another standout feature is the cover – it remained cool to the touch during testing, with a similar performance to the GhostBed Luxe below yet at a slightly cheaper price.

6. Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Hybrid Mattress: Save up to $800
Deal quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $839.30 (was $1,199)

Benefits: 100 night trial | 10 year warranty | Free shipping 

Best for: Luxury cooling for very hot sleepers 

Best alternative: Purple Original (from $899 at Purple)

Quick verdict: The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Hybrid mattress is a great option for those looking for customizable firmness options and a luxurious edge. Sales from Brooklyn Bedding typically range between 25% and 30%, with the best sales reserved for major sales. Right now, there's 30% off which brings the price of a queen down to $1,585.50 (from $2,265).The GlacioTex cooling cover removes excess heat from the mattress’ surface and remains cold to the touch. During our Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Hybrid Mattress review, our lead tester found that while this worked effectively, but did make the sleep surface a little slippery.

7. Leesa Original mattress: Save up to $495, plus two free pillows and bedding set at Leesa Sleep
Deal quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $614 (was $879)

Benefits: 100 night trial | 10 year warranty | Free shipping

Best alternative: The Nola Original 10” ($649 at Nolah)

Our verdict: To mark 4th of July, Leesa Sleep has knocked 30% off the best-selling Original mattress, which means you can save as much as $495. Plus, they’ll throw in two free pillows and a microfiber bedding set, which means your money will stretch even further. The Leesa Original Mattress is a mid-range, all-foam model that's supportive for most sleep positions. In our Leesa Original mattress review, we found it most comfortable in back and side sleeping positions, and would recommend it to those who prefer a firmer mattress. Its top layer of breathable foam and twill fabric cover will sufficiently wick away heat – which is good news for hot sleepers. This current Leesa sale beats the standard saving of up to $200 we usually see, making now an excellent time to buy.

Best for: Those with painful joints seeking the legendary pressure relief of a Tempur-Pedic bed but working with a smaller budget. 

Best alternative: Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt (from $1,699 at Tempur-Pedic)

Quick verdict: There’s currently an impressive 30% off the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Essential, which is the same level of savings we saw during last year’s Black Friday sale event. Plus, Tempur-Pedic will also throw in two free Tempur pillows with every mattress purchase. The Essential is the cheapest bed that Tempur produces, making it an excellent option for anyone seeking the outstanding pressure relief of a NASA-developed Tempur bed but are working with a smaller budget. It’s important to note that this is a closeout model, so there’s no trial period or returns with purchase. However, the 10 year warranty still stands.

Best alternative: Saatva Solaire ($2,945 at Saatva) 

Our verdict: This 30% off discount from Sleep Number matches the level of savings usually reserved for major sale events, like Black Friday. Right now, you can buy a queen size Sleep Number i8 for $2,799.30 — which is the lowest price of the year. The Sleep Number i8 is an excellent all-rounder, providing support, pressure relief, and cutting-edge sleep tech. It’s part of the brand’s innovation series and, like all Sleep Number beds, it has adjustable and responsive firmness, as well as built-in sleep tracking. This makes it an excellent choice for couples who require different firmness levels, as well as those who want an in-depth analysis of the quality of their sleep. At 12 inches tall, the i8 provides exceptional pressure relief and support, with 6 inches of comfort layers adding a touch of plush to this high tech bed.

Best for: Combination sleepers with back pain

Best alternative: Saatva RX (from $1,795 at Saatva) 

Our verdict: There's up to $400 the Purple Plus, which is a level of savings we usually only see during major sale events. The Purple Plus boasts the brand's proprietary GlefFlex grid technology, which works to cradle and support while you sleep. This stretchy, elastic layer relieves pressure around the lumbar region, which is why it's one of our recommended mattresses for back pain, especially for those with achy joints. It's more expensive than its predecessor (The Original), but you get superior support for your money.

Best alternative: Stearns & Foster Estate (from $$2,299 at Stearns & Foster)

Our verdict: Stearns & Foster sales are relatively rare, but right now you can take $400 off the price of the hand-layered Lux Estate mattress, plus you'll get free pillows and sheets thrown in - and a $300 VISA gift card. That's the best deal you'll ever get on this bed. Why buy it? The Lux Estate combines the cloud-like softness of Tempur foams with coils that are supportive and breathable. You can choose from four different firmness levels, plus upgrade to a luxuriously plush pillow-top. A ventilated coil system circulates air, while external air vents ensure that there isn't any heat retention. Yes, it's expensive - but this is an excellent deal on a high quality handcrafted bed. 

4. Bear Original mattress: was from $998 now $649 at Bear Mattress

The Bear Original is a comfortable memory foam mattress that we recommend for side and back sleepers with general aches and pains. It retains some heat so pick the Cocoon by Sealy Chill above if you overheating during sleep. In the Tom's Guide Bear Original mattress review my team and I awarded it 4.5/5 for motion isolation, so it's also good for couples who otherwise disturb each other's sleep by chopping and changing sleeping positions. This isn't the cheapest price we've seen on the Bear Original – that came during May with a 40% discount plus free bedding –  but it's still a great price for a comfy memory foam boxed bed.
