Below, we outline our two favorite Amerisleep models and explain what sleep positions they work best for.

Watch Our Amerisleep AS3 Video Review

If you’re looking for a mattress with a universal comfort level, we recommend the Amerisleep AS3. This mattress provides a balance between firm and plush, which makes it a versatile option for most sleep styles, including side sleepers and combination sleepers. The materials in the Amerisleep AS3 are designed to provide deeper comfort and better sleep from the cover to the core.

Beneath a soft, breathable cover, you will find Amerisleep’s Bio-Pur®. This breathable material will keep you cool throughout the night. It is also more responsive than traditional memory foam, meaning it bounces back to its normal shape in just a few seconds, so you won’t feel “stuck” if you change positions throughout the night.

The AS3 also has a transition layer with Amerisleep’s HIVE® technology. HIVE® uses hundreds of six-sided foam supports to create five comfort zones targeted at different areas of the body.

Where you need more support, like your head and lower back, the foam hexagons are closer together. This prevents them from expanding too much and provides a firmer feel. Where you need more cushion, like your shoulders, the foam hexagons are farther apart. This lets them compress and expand more, providing additional cushion.

The additional space between the foam hexagons also allows more hot air to escape from the mattress, helping to keep you even cooler and more comfortable all night long.

All of the layers in the Amerisleep AS3 are supported by Amerisleep’s durable Bio-Core® foam. It’s stable, supportive, and built to last for decades, which is why Amerisleep offers a warranty that spans 20 years with the most customer-friendly terms. While some brands won’t cover their beds until they sag well over an inch, Amerisleep covers you if their mattresses sag by an inch.

Watch Our AS5 Hybrid Video Review

The AS5 also comes in a hybrid model. The AS5 Hybrid mattress has the same soft Bio-Pur® comfort layer that hugs the body and provides no pressure support.

However, the base of this hybrid is made of pocketed spring coils that help guard against excessive sinking. This combination is perfect for heavier individuals who want the pressure relief of foam, without the feeling of being “stuck” in the mattress.

The base of the AS5 Hybrid features pocketed spring coils that are designed to support each area of the body with the perfect amount of pressure. The coils along the sides are reinforced for edge support.

The AS5 Hybrid is perfect for those looking for a soft mattress that won’t cause uncomfortable sinking. This bed provides the maximum amount of cushioning and protection to the joints, while also keeping the body lifted to prevent spinal misalignment.

Remember, all Amerisleep mattresses are up to $1000 off. Or you can save on a mattress purchase bundle with your choice of bed frame, taking 40 percent off an adjustable bed bundle or an upholstered bed frame bundle.

Watch Our Zoma Start Video Review

Another mattress worth considering this Black Friday is the Zoma Start. If you’re looking for a hybrid mattress for less than $1000, look no further than Zoma. The Zoma Mattress is an affordable model marketed towards athletes because it’s designed to help you sleep deeper and recover faster.

The Zoma Start has a firm feel from a sophisticated 10-inch design with an ultra-breathable AirCloth cover made of 97% polyester and 3% spandex that keeps you cool from head to toe.

Beneath the cover sits 1 inch of breathable, perforated gel memory foam for pressure-relieving comfort. The 1-inch Reactiv™ foam layer delivers highly responsive relief with quick bounce-back.

The foundation consists of an 8-inch zoned pocket-coil core with over 700 individually wrapped coils (13-gauge perimeter coils and 15-gauge center coils) with enhanced airflow, and excellent edge support.

All foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, free of harmful chemicals and low in VOCs, making it both eco-friendly and fiberglass-free.

Zoma is an online-only mattress brand offering a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty with every mattress. This Black Friday, Zoma is offering a 30% discount on each mattress. Plus, they offer free shipping and free returns.

Also this Black Friday, you can save 20 percent off of Zoma’s pillows and bundle their adjustable bed with a mattress purchase for a significant discount (up to $1840!).

Watch Our Zoma Boost Video Review

The Zoma Boost is our top pick for those seeking a premium sleep experience with advanced performance features. And it’s our most recommended option for athletes and active individuals who prioritize recovery and performance.

This 15-inch luxury hybrid mattress represents the pinnacle of Zoma’s engineering, combining graphite-infused cooling technology with sophisticated support to deliver the ultimate in comfort, recovery, and temperature regulation.

The cover features a cool to the touch sleekness, with a colorful pattern of triangles. Underneath, there is a plush gel foam layer for immediate luxury comfort. Beneath that sits the graphite-infused memory foam that draws heat away from your body for cool, uninterrupted sleep.

The Reactiv™ Foam middle layer absorbs motion and provides responsive bounce, while the pocketed coils keep you balanced and promote proper spine alignment. The durable base foam foundation ensures long-lasting support. Every material is CertiPUR-US® certified, made in the USA, and a 100% fiberglass-free mattress.

With its medium-firm feel (5.5/10), this mattress offers an ideal balance of plush pressure relief and supportive structure, making it particularly well-suited for side sleepers and active individuals seeking faster recovery.

Trusted by professional athletes and backed by years of research and testing, this mattress delivers enhanced rest and rejuvenation for individuals with demanding lifestyles.

Watch Our Vaya Mattress Video Review

One of our favorite budget-friendly choices is the Vaya Mattress. Vaya understands that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort and support because you live on a restricted budget. Its simple two-layer design provides quality pressure relief, bounce, and motion isolation.

The mattress’s top layer of Vaya Comfort Foam is lighter than traditional memory foam, so it keeps cool even as it contours for pressure relief. Vaya Comfort Foam is also a springy material, limiting motion transfer and sinkage.

At the bottom is Vaya Base Foam, a durable material that can support all sleeping positions. Vaya Base Foam is why the manufacturers are confident enough to offer a 10-year warranty with sagging coverage for any indent that exceeds an inch.

Vaya’s Black Friday deals include $300 off each mattress. With this discount, you can get a queen size Vaya Mattress for just $699.

Watch Our Vaya Hybrid Video Review

The Vaya Hybrid Mattress is similar to their original model. It has a highly responsive comfort layer to keep the hips and shoulders lifted and aligned.

This soft, breathable material cushions the joints and ensures the spine is resting in a safe neutral position. The comfort of the Vaya Hybrid is boosted by an additional layer of cotton, creating a more pillowy surface.

Instead of a supportive foam base, the Vaya Hybrid has a base of pocketed spring coils. Each coil is triple wrapped in a lightweight material for maximum comfort. Since each coil moves independently of one another, they respond to pressure more accurately.

This feature keeps the entire body supported without the risk of developing pressure points. The coils around the perimeter of the mattress are thicker and more supportive, making it easier to get in and out of bed.

Like their foam mattress, the Vaya Hybrid is available for $300 off this Black Friday. This includes their 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty.

Watch Our Helix Midnight Luxe Video Review

For side sleepers seeking a dreamy plush mattress this Black Friday, look no further than the Helix Midnight Luxe. This indulgently cushioned hybrid mattress delivers five-star comfort tailored specifically for the side sleeping position.

The key is in the layers, designed to provide pressure relief while supporting alignment from head to toe. It all starts with a pillow top cover made of ultra-breathable Tencel or high-tech GlacioTex cooling fabric. This adds a sumptuously soft surface that cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips.

Underneath, a layer of responsive Helix dynamic foam gently conforms to the body’s natural contours. Next is 2 inches of copper-infused memory foam, which adapts to your shape while pulling heat away for cooler sleep. An additional layer of memory foam provides enhanced cradling and contouring.

The pièce de résistance is a 6-inch pocketed coil system with zones that deliver precisely where you need it. Softness under the shoulders prevents sharp pressure points while substantial lumbar support keeps the spine aligned. A reinforced perimeter maintains edge stability for unrestrained sleep space.

The base layer reinforces the coils for edge-to-edge durability and support. Together, these layers work in harmony to keep side sleepers lifted, aligned, and free of strain. Even better, the Midnight Luxe sleeps cool with its innovative covers and heat-conducting copper infusion.

Engineered expressly for side sleepers seeking cloud-like plushness with proper ergonomic support, the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress is a superb value. Especially with Black Friday savings!

Enjoy free shipping, a 100-night trial, and a limited lifetime warranty. You’ll rest in bliss knowing you scored a luxury mattress designed just for you.

One of the best mattress deals to look out for this Black Friday is the Saatva Classic. This luxury innerspring mattress combines plush comfort and durable support with an affordable price point.

The Saatva Classic mattress features a 3-inch Euro pillow top made with breathable organic cotton for a plush, cushioned surface that relieves pressure points. Underneath, the dual-coil design provides enhanced lumbar support right where you need it most thanks to the patented Lumbar Zone technology. Individually wrapped coils contour to your body while providing edge-to-edge support and minimizing motion transfer.

This hybrid innerspring/foam mattress is available in three firmness levels, so you can find the right surface for your sleep style. The softest option relieves pressure for side sleepers while the luxury firm is great for couples. Back and stomach sleepers will appreciate the firm model that keeps the spine aligned.

The Bear Original is our top pick for shoppers seeking premium memory foam comfort at an exceptional value. This GREENGUARD Gold certified mattress has earned over 10,000 verified customer reviews and delivers cooling comfort, pressure relief, and motion isolation—all without breaking the bank.

The Bear Original excels at temperature regulation with its cooling gel memory foam layer and open-cell foam construction that disperses heat throughout the night. The responsive foam layers contour to your body’s shape, keeping pressure off your back, hips, and shoulders in any sleep position.

With a medium-firm feel, this mattress offers balanced support that’s particularly well-suited for back sleepers. The motion isolation makes it an excellent choice for couples, and the optional Celliant-infused cover upgrade adds infrared technology that promotes recovery and regulates body temperature.

The breathable quilted cover is naturally soft and long-lasting (with an optional Celliant-infused upgrade available). Beneath the cover sits cooling gel memory foam that draws away unwanted body heat and provides improved spinal alignment.

The Bear Dynamic Foam layer offers balanced support with deeper compression for better pressure relief. The foundation is high-density support foam that provides long-lasting durability.

Watch Our PlushBeds Signature Bliss Video Review

The PlushBeds Signature Bliss is our top choice for eco-conscious shoppers seeking a luxurious, chemical-free sleep experience.

This handcrafted pillowtop hybrid mattress combines premium organic materials with exceptional comfort and support, making it ideal for those who prioritize both wellness and quality. The pillowtop design offers cloud-like comfort while the 5-zoned fabric-encased coil core provides superior motion isolation and long-lasting support.

The Signature Bliss also stands out from other natural mattresses with its impressive collection of certifications—GOLS-certified organic latex, GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool, and GreenGuard Gold certification for indoor air quality.  Available in both medium (5.5/10) and medium-firm (8/10) options, this mattress caters to all sleep positions.

This California-handcrafted mattress features a luxurious cover made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, British wool, cashmere, and silk for breathable, temperature-regulating comfort.

The pillowtop layer consists of 3 inches of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex from Arpico, which molds to your body for exceptional pressure relief.

Up to 10 pounds of organic wool acts as a natural fire barrier while helping maintain optimal sleep temperature.

The premium fabric-encased coil system delivers responsive support with zero motion transfer, while the organic construction means no chemicals, pesticides, adhesives, or toxins touching your body while you sleep.

PlushBeds offers an industry-leading lifetime warranty and a 100-night comfort guarantee with their unique firmness exchange program. If you need to adjust firmness, they’ll send a comfort layer rather than requiring you to return the entire mattress—one reason PlushBeds has less than 1% return rate.

Watch Our Westin Heavenly Bed Video Review

The Westin Heavenly Bed brings the iconic hotel sleep experience directly to your home. This 13.25-inch coil mattress has been the centerpiece of Westin hotels since 1999 and is beloved by travelers worldwide for its plush, cloud-like comfort. If you’ve ever slept at a Westin and wished you could recreate that experience at home, this is your chance.

The pillow-top design features 2.25 inches of plush Euro-top padding that provides immediate comfort, while the mattress excels in motion isolation and has exceptional edge support thanks to 4-inch perimeter support foam. It is particularly well-suited for side sleepers who appreciate a softer, more enveloping sleep surface.

The support core consists of an 8-inch pocketed coil system for responsive support and motion isolation, with a 0.5-inch fiber pad base. The entire mattress is made in the USA and weighs approximately 90 pounds. An authentic luxury hotel feel with very deep sinkage and a traditional coil mattress experience.

It’s important to note that the Westin Heavenly Bed does not offer a trial period, and all sales are final. This is one of the considerations when making your purchase decision. The mattress requires the use of Westin’s box spring, which is available in two heights (5.5-inch low profile or 8.75-inch standard).

Watch Our Nest Bedding Sparrow Video Review

The Sparrow Hybrid excels at keeping couples sleeping peacefully with its 6-inch layer of individually wrapped pocketed coils that isolate motion transfer exceptionally well. One partner can move freely without disturbing the other’s sleep.

What truly sets the Sparrow apart for couples is the split firmness option available on larger sizes—choose plush (3/10), medium (5/10), or firm (8/10) for each side of the bed, creating a truly personalized sleep experience.

This American-made hybrid features a sophisticated 13-inch design engineered for couples. The quilted cooling cover integrates two layers of gel memory foam with Nest’s patented Thermic Phase Change material that regulates temperature by absorbing heat when you warm up and releasing it when you cool down.

Beneath the cover sits Nest’s proprietary Energex temperature-responsive foam comfort layer (3 inches thick in varying densities depending on firmness choice) that contours like memory foam but with enhanced responsiveness and breathability. A 1-inch transitional layer of SmartFlow support foam minimizes disturbances between layers.

The 6-inch pocketed steel coil system delivers the signature hybrid bounce with excellent motion isolation and breathability. A high-density base support foam foundation reinforces the entire structure. All foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and the mattress is completely fiberglass-free.

The reinforced edge support allows full use of the mattress surface, so couples can sleep comfortably right to the edge without feeling like they’ll roll off. The advanced Thermic Phase Change cooling cover and gel-infused memory foam layers ensure both partners stay cool throughout the night.

Nest Bedding offers an exceptional 365-night sleep trial. Giving couples a full year to ensure the mattress works for both partners.

The mattress is backed by a lifetime warranty and includes their innovative Lifetime Renewal Exchange program, which allows you to replace just the comfort layer years later for a refreshed, customized sleep experience without replacing the entire mattress.

Some shoppers are looking for more than just a new mattress this Black Friday, seeking the complete overhaul that comes with a mattress bundle. One of the most coveted bundles are adjustable bed sets—bundles can include other accessories, but adjustable beds are popular for their upscale comfort.

The GhostBed Split King Adjustable Bed Set allows shoppers to pair the adjustable bed with one of four mattresses, all of which can be freely rearranged in different angles and elevations.

The adjustable bed offers five presets, two for lounging and reading or TV watching, one anti-snore preset, one zero-gravity, and the standard flat preset. There’s also a memory button so you can save your favorite position to return to it over and over again.

Shoppers can also add on a protector, sheets, and pillows with their new mattress and base. Other GhostBed bundles are available, but we enjoy the customization the split king bed offers.

What Should You Look for in Black Friday Mattress Deals?

• Look for verified third-party reviews, 7+ year warranties, 90+ day return windows, and beware of inflated “original prices” that create false discounts.

While Black Friday is often considered one of the best times to buy a mattress, not all Black Friday deals are going to be winners for you. There is a lot to choose from, so it is important to take your time and pay attention to the features that matter most to you.

Not all Black Friday mattress deals are created equal. With 100+ brands offering discounts, focus on what matters: verified reviews, solid warranties, and generous trial periods. Retailers use psychological tactics to create urgency—take your time and verify claims before buying.

Here are a few signs that you are looking at a good mattress deal:

How Do You Verify a Mattress Company’s Reputation?

Check third-party verified reviews (not just company websites), look for 80%+ satisfaction rates for memory foam and latex, and consult independent mattress review sites.

This is the age of the internet, use it! Most companies allow customers to review their products on their websites, though some may be more honest about it than others.

Look for reviews verified by third parties. These are services that verify whether the reviewer actually purchased the product they are writing about. There should be enough for an overall average score in the mid 4-star range. While a fiver-star rating for a good mattress is possible, it’s good to be wary of thousand reviews that are too high.

Consult mattress review sites. There are many websites devoted to helping customers through the tangled mess of retail speak. See what the reviewers have to say about the mattresses you’re considering. Keep in mind, however, some of these reviewers may receive incentives from the companies they review.

What Deceptive Sales Tactics Should You Watch For?

Watch for price anchoring (inflated original prices), pressure tactics like flash sales, and deals where “free” accessories overshadow mattress quality concerns.

Be sure you know the specifics of the deal. All sales should be clear and accessible. Make sure you read the fine print and aren’t being sold a faulty product. Some websites may have incorrect information, so clarify with retailers prior to committing.

Avoid deceptive sales tactics. Some retailers will create the illusion of a great discount by inflating the original price of the product. This is referred to as “price anchoring,” as the retailer is attempting to anchor the bogus original price in your head to make the value appear better.

Try to think about the real value of the product and not the numbers retailers throw at you. Similarly, don’t let the thought of two free pillows or a free mattress protector completely decide whether you make a mattress purchase.

Others may also try to coax you to buy impulsively with a flash sale and other limited-time deals.  Don’t let the idea that if you don’t jump on a deal, it’s gone pressure you into unwise decisions.

What Warranties and Return Policy Terms Indicate Quality?

Quality mattresses include 7-10 year warranties with clear coverage terms and 90+ day trial periods without excessive return fees.

If a mattress is worth the money you are paying for it, the warranty and return policy for your mattress should reflect that.

Mattress warranties should be at least seven years. The average mattress lasts about seven years and the warranty should cover it for just as long or more. A short warranty period could indicate a poorly constructed mattress.

Be mindful of warranty types. Mattress warranties are usually divided into two varieties. The “full coverage” or “full replacement” period of the warranty is the period of time that the manufacturer will pay for repairs or replacements in full. They may restrict what is covered, require a specific depth of sagging or have other terms. The prorated period covers a percentage of replacement costs, declining with mattress age.

Don’t settle for less than a 30-day return policy. You’re making a big purchase and should have a bit of time to see if you like it. Many mattress retailers have trial periods that last for months. Check with your retailer to make sure you have a long enough return policy without a lot of strings attached.

Are Early Black Mattress Sales Worth It?

Black Friday falls on November 29 in 2026. Sales are likely to extend into early December, with Cyber Monday sales folded into the event.

However, you may see early Black Friday mattress deals pop up as early as mid to late October. Are these early Black Friday sales worth checking out or is it better to wait for the main event?

If your mattress isn’t providing the comfort that it used to, there’s no reason to not jump on an early Black Friday mattress sale. Procrastinating on choosing a new mattress can severely affect how well you sleep at night, in turn affecting how you feel during the day.

The best early Black Friday mattress sales tend to be fairly comparable to what you’ll see the day of, though you may miss out on a free accessory or two if you buy a mattress a few weeks ahead of Black Friday. Still, it’s better to take advantage of a fall sale to improve your comfort sooner and buy any needed accessories separately, from mattress protectors to pillows and mattress toppers.

When Else Can You Find Major Mattress Sales?

Black Friday tends to be hyped up as the big shopping day of the year, but it’s not the only one worth considering. If you need a new mattress to upgrade your comfort, it’s best to replace it as soon as possible so you can get a good night’s rest.

Other opportunities to score a new mattress at a low price include:

• Best MLK Day Mattress Sales
• Best Presidents Day Mattress Sales
• Best Sleep Awareness Week Mattress Sales
• Best Memorial Day Mattress Sales
• Best 4th of July Mattress Sales
• Best Labor Day Mattress Sales
• Best Columbus Day Mattress Sales
• Best Cyber Monday Mattress Sales

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a mattress?

While Black Friday is definitely a major sales day, it’s not necessarily the best time to buy a new bed. Mattress brands offer significant discounts throughout the year.

Online mattress brands usually have recurring sales, and they price their mattresses more affordable, to begin with since they sell direct-to-consumer.

Brick and mortar retailers often have the end of the summer or end of the season blowout sales when they get rid of old inventory and bring in new mattress models.

With all of this considered, you certainly don’t have to wait until Black Friday to get a good deal on a bed; but you can surely find great discounts during this major sales day.

Do mattress stores have Black Friday sales?

Yes! Most mattress retailers offer Black Friday discounts on their products. If you’ve had your eye on a new bed, this sales weekend is an ideal time to buy.

What month is the best to buy a mattress?

When shopping online, it’s hard to say since brands offer sales year-round. Online mattress brands don’t have a great end of the season sales like brick and mortar retailers do. If you’re shopping in-person, though, the best time to buy is in May. Most mattress stores clear out old inventory right before the summer to make room for the new year’s models.

Can you negotiate the price of a mattress?

This really depends on where you buy. You very rarely can negotiate with online retailers since they already offer the lowest prices on their products. When you shop in-person, however, there’s a chance you can negotiate the price down. Some people even say they’ve haggled the price down to less than 50 percent.

If you’re on the fence, browse reviews of the specific retailer to see if anybody had luck negotiating mattress prices with them in the past.

What is a good price to pay for a mattress?

Generally, most people spend anywhere between $1000 to $2000 on a high-quality queen size mattress. During Black Friday, however, brands offer a couple of hundred dollars off their mattresses, so you can sometimes score top-rated mattresses for as low as $700. However, we advise against any Black Friday mattress deal that seems too good to be true and promo beds.

How much should I expect to save on Black Friday mattress deals?

Most major brands offer $500-$1,000 off queen-size mattresses during Black Friday, with percentage discounts ranging from 20-50% off. Budget brands may offer $200-$400 savings. Always verify the “regular price” is legitimate before calculating savings.

Are Black Friday mattress sales better than Memorial Day or Labor Day sales?

Black Friday sales are comparable to Memorial Day and Labor Day in terms of discount depth. The main advantage is holiday shopping momentum and bundled bedding deals. If you need a mattress urgently, don’t wait—Memorial Day and July 4th often offer similar savings.

Should I buy a mattress online or in-store on Black Friday?

Online mattress brands typically offer better Black Friday deals due to lower overhead costs and year-round competitive pricing. In-store deals may include extra negotiation opportunities but often have less generous trial periods than online brands’ 90-100+ night trials.

What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday mattress sales?

Most mattress brands now extend Black Friday deals through Cyber Monday (often called “Black Friday Week”). Cyber Monday may add free bedding bundles, but mattress discounts are typically identical. Shop when convenient rather than waiting.

Happy Shopping!
