Editors' Pick

Saatva

This Saatva Classic mattress (with more than 3,700 5-star reviews) features a remarkable layered design, combining the support of innersprings with the plush comfort of memory foam to provide a more comfortable sleep. But does it really live up to the hype? Former PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey certainly wasn't disappointed. In fact, in her PureWow100 review, she said it helped her get to sleep faster and wake up more refreshed each day. Better yet, it's topped with a layer of breathable organic cotton and coated in a botanical, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold and bacterial growth, meaning you can look forward to a good night's sleep for years to come. (Good thing it includes a lifetime warranty!)

Readers' Favorite

2. Puffy Lux Mattress

Puffy

Boasting more than 12,000 glowing reviews (seriously), this "lux" hybrid bed is one of the most coveted on the market (especially among PureWow readers), and for good reason. For starters, it features *eight* luxurious layers of premium memory foam, cooling quilting and contour-adapt coils that should both cradle and support your form while allowing for plenty of breathability.

Secondly, the brand is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), which means it has been reviewed by a board of doctors to ensure it's up to the highest standards in terms of support for your spine and back. While that’s one stamp of approval you can definitely trust, you might also want to consider what this shopper has to say: "It is literally like sleeping on a cloud! It is by far the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on."

Psst: This mattress is actually $50 cheaper than it was during last year's Labor Day sale. Just be sure to include coupon code LABORDAY to score your discount.

Sealy put cooling mattresses (which help regulate your temperature as you fall asleep) on the map. But the brand's other features, like fabric-encased coils, pillow-top comfort and added edge support, are what really sets it apart. No wonder PureWow contributor Natalie LaBarbera adores this Chill hybrid mattress. Springy coils offer up some bounce, while a memory foam layer contours to the body for a dreamy night's sleep.

"I've also noticed my lower back pain has definitely lessened since I made the switch, which honestly, makes it worth it entirely," she shared in her PureWow100 review. And, of course, the mattress is designed to keep you cool and comfortable—not least of all due to its ventilated airflow coils and heat-dissipating cover.

While the mattress itself isn't on sale, the Twin XL, Queen and King sizes are all discounted by more than 40 percent when paired with the adjustable base (which has a Zero Gravity preset to simulate the feeling of weightlessness as you rest).

Best Luxury Mattress Deal

4. Stearns & Foster Estate Mattress

Stearns & Foster

Whether you're a side sleeper, back sleeper or stomach sleeper, there's a high chance you'll find the comfort you need with this Stearns & Foster Estate mattress, which comes highly recommended by PureWow Sales and Deals Editor Destinee Scott. "From the very first night, I could tell the difference between my old bed and the Stearns & Foster Estate mattress. For starters, it was a lot higher than my old mattress, but I was expecting that considering the five-layer construction. It also felt way softer and more weightless than my old bed (which was more on the firm side), so I'd say its Pillow Top Soft feel definitely lived up to the hype," she writes. She also compared it to sleeping at a 5-star hotel—which totally checks out, considering the brand supplies beds for none other than the Ritz-Carlton.

Best Mattress Deal for Couples

5. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress

DreamCloud

Cloud-like comfort meets contouring pressure relief in the DreamCloud Classic hybrid, which boasts a six-layer design consisting of cooling fiber technology, plush memory foam and innerspring coils that help to reduce motion transfer. In fact, that last point is one of the reasons PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint herself is a fan.

"The best thing is probably how little motion transfer other sleepers experience in the bed. I'm a noted tosser-and-turner, and my husband noticed absolutely no movement, even with me right beside him in bed," she says. "Highly recommended for couples with different bedtimes and sleep needs...you really don't annoy each other."

Best for Banishing Back Pain

6. Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid Mattress

Amerisleep

Take it from me, the AS3 Hybrid mattress will quickly transform the way you sleep and may even eliminate your back pain, as it combines relaxation-promoting foam layers with bouncy pocketed coils to cradle your body for ultimate comfort. Worried about overheating at night? Don't be. This pick includes a mattress cover that's actually designed to draw heat from your skin to provide a cool-all-night feel. I tested the bed for over a year, and more than 365 days in, I can say it still holds up nicely. I began feeling an instant difference in my spinal alignment from my first night sleeping on it (no joke), and have seen such an improvement in both my sleep and lower back pain in the months since.

Great for Restless Sleepers

7. Glacier Original Hybrid Mattress

Glacier

Also on sale is Glacier's Original hybrid mattress, which Nicole Frazzini, PureWow's former audience development strategist, praised for its comfort and craftsmanship (which involves a marriage of graphite-infused memory foam, responsive coils and cooling layers). "This is, by far, the best mattress I have ever owned—and the guests who have stayed in my apartment wholeheartedly agree. It’s on the firmer side, which means it supports me (and my many sleep positions) quite well," she writes, adding, "I’ve dealt with insomnia in the past, and it would often manifest as that tossing-and-turning, can’t-get-comfortable feeling. But I’ll just say, no matter how much is on my mind, I have never struggled to get comfortable and fall asleep on this mattress in minutes."

Best Organic Mattress Deal

8. Avocado Green Mattress

Avocado

In addition to more than 15,500 5-star reviews, this buzzy organic mattress earned a whopping 95 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review from one editor, who claimed it totally banished her hip pain as a side-sleeper. "The medium-firm cush of the Avocado Green with a pillow top offered a just-right level of support for my aching sides," she wrote in her review of it. But just so you know, the eco-friendly bed is constructed with organic latex, organic wool and organic cotton, and features a five-zone coil system to help distribute weight more evenly (and thus take pressure off your pain points).

As for the bed's motion-transfer-minimizing coil design? Let's just say buyers can't stop talking about how they no longer get woken up by their partner's late-night run to the bathroom. So, it's safe to say this mattress checks all the boxes.

Best Cooling Mattress Deal

9. Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Breeze Mattress

Tempur-Pedic

If hot flashes and night sweats are the two things standing between you and a good night's rest, I'm thinking it's time you looked into a Tempur-Breeze mattress. The model is stacked with layer upon innovative layer of cooling fibers, along with 1,000 individually wrapped innerspring coils to offer advanced pressure relief, per the brand. Spring for an adjustable power base (also on sale RN), and you can take it to an entirely new level with *tons* of elevated head and foot positions.

Best Zero-Gravity Feel

10. Sleep Number ComfortNext Ultra

sleep number

A Best Sleep Ever Award winner, this mattress truly delivers on its Zero Gravity claims, creating a feeling of weightlessness and pressure-point relief that our tester said transformed his sleep completely. “This is the first mattress I’ve owned where I’ve noticed a real difference waking up in the morning,” our tester shared. “I genuinely feel like I’m climbing into a throne every night.”

The mattress features a triple-layer design, combining foam, coils and an airy, breathable cushion to provide support while alleviating shoulder, back, knee and hip pain. You can also use the brand's app to adjust the mattress's firmness levels—with separate halves, so you and your partner can tweak the bed to their liking. It's a splurge, yes, but with nearly $675 off a queen size during the Labor Day sale, now is the time to upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Labor Day a Good Time to Buy a Mattress?

Like Memorial Day and Black Friday, Labor Day is an excellent time to buy a mattress. Not just because you're bound to find a really good deal on top-rated beds (not limited to the Puffy Lux Mattress, which is on sale for up to $1,400 off!) but also because fall and winter are right around the corner— since you'll likely be spending more time cozying up in bed, you'll want to make sure it's a good one.
