Editors' Pick

1. Saatva Classic Mattress

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!) Right now, you can pick one up for $350 off.

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." Use code COLUMBUSDAY to score a whopping $1,350 off.

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 for Couples

4. 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 Side Sleepers

5. Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress

Helix

This pick is a great option for side sleepers, and not one, but two PureWow staffers can confirm. Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay even said that it was her secret to achieving better sleep through both pregnancy and postpartum. "Though I’m convinced 'good pregnancy sleep' is an oxymoron, the Helix Midnight Luxe helped me get as close as possible to that elusive goal. With targeted memory foam, this mattress provided extra support across my shoulders and hips, relieving the pressure points that are often exacerbated by side sleeping—and even more so by pregnancy," she wrote in her PW100 review. The magic is in its hybrid construction, consisting of a plush pillow top, cradling foam and strong steel coils. That said, I wouldn't miss the opportunity to save 25 percent on it now with code PRIMETIME25.

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.
