During our DreamCloud Hybrid mattress review, our tester found this mattress to be excellent for couples thanks to its ability to effectively isolate motion. This mattress also does a great job at keeping hot sleepers cool thanks to the inclusion of a gel-infused comfort layer to help disperse body heat. This mattress also benefits from a 365-night trial period, forever warranty and free shipping and returns.

Cocoon Chill by Sealy  
Was:
$1389 for a king
Now: $899 at Cocoon by Sealy
Saving: $490 (king saving)

Summary: This is one of the year's best cooling mattresses, thanks to its ultra effective temperature regulation combined with incredible, pressure-relieving comfort. The 10" mattress has an active cooling cover that wicks away heat and moisture, leaving you feeling comfortably cool all night long. This medium-firm mattress is well suited for most body types and sleeping positions, but during our Cocoon Chill by Sealy review our tester found it particularly comfortable for side sleepers. This mattress is also exceptional when it comes to isolating movement, which makes it the ideal choice for co-sleepers. As well as getting a cool 35% off the cost of this mattress, you also get Free Sealy® Sleep Bundle worth $199 which includes two memory foam pillows, a polyester sheet set, and waterproof protector. This mattress also comes with the benefit of 100-night trial, free shipping, and a 10 year warranty. 

Pricing history: The Cocoon Chill by Sealy is a mid-range mattress that is even more affordable with this latest Presidents' Day sale. You can get a king size Cocoon Chill by Sealy for just $899, which is a saving of $510 on the original price of $1389. This sale also includes a bundle of bedding, including sheets and pillows, worth $199. Sealy doesn't tend to run a lot of big sales through the year, so this 35% off deal - plus the bedding bundle - is worth taking advantage of.

The Emma OriginalWas:Now:Saving:

The Emma Original
Was: $1,459 for a king
Now: $729 at Emma Sleep
Saving: $729 (king saving)

Summary: The Emma Original is a great mattress for side sleepers thanks to its body-hugging, pressure-relieving Halo Mmeory Foam, but our Emma Original mattress review says it's also comfortable and supportive enough for other sleep styles .Its all-foam construction means that it's superb at limiting motion transfer, making it a great bed for couples who don't want to be disturbed by a partner's movements. Hot sleepers should be aware that, while it does have some features designed for temperature regulation, it does sleep quite warm.

Pricing history: Right now, there's a 50% off Presidents' Day sale which means a king-size has been knocked down to just $729 from $1,459. While this isn't the biggest savings we've seen from Emma (Cyber Monday saw a 60% off sale), it's still excellent value for money. 

Benefits: 365 night trial | 10 year warranty | Free shipping

Bear Original Was: Now:Saving

Bear Original
Was: $1,304 for a king
Now: $848 at Bear Mattress
Saving: $456 (king saving)

Summary: Not only the Bear Original is one of the greatest mattress for couples thanks to its excellent motion isolation, it also provides a good amount of comfort for all sleeping positions. Our Bear Original mattress review also praised this fiberglass-free mattress's edge support and affordable pricing. However, its all-foam construction can mean that the mattress sleeps a little too warm for hot sleepers, despite the fact that its cooling gel memory foam and Celliant quilt cover is supposed ti boost airflow and remove unwanted body heat. On the whole, though, this is great mattress if your seeking cradling comfort and support. 

Pricing history: Bear used to throw evergreen 30% off deals, but since Black Friday, there's been a permanent 35% off sale which means you'll likely never have to pay over $900 for a king size. 

Benefits: 120-night sleep trial| Free shipping and returns | Lifetime warranty.
