Best Mattress Black Friday Deals 2026

The DreamCloud Classic is the mattress we would tell most people to buy. Tom's Guide named it its favorite mattress in a box this year, and RTINGS scored it 9.0 for edge support and 9.3 for responsiveness, so it is easy to sit on the side and easy to roll over on. Tom's Guide's testers found it closer to medium than DreamCloud's label suggests, which suits back and combination sleepers.

Lighter side sleepers who want deep cushioning should look at the softer Helix Midnight below. RTINGS also gave it only 5.5 for longevity, so read the warranty terms before you buy.

At $699 from Amazon, it costs about its 90-day average, so this is not a deal yet. It fell to about $547 in late June, and that is the price we would wait for.

The Nectar Classic is our all-foam pick and the one for couples. NCOA found it isolated motion better than any other mattress it tested, so a restless partner is less likely to wake you, and its testers found good pressure relief in every position. AARP rated it the best value in its group. Ignore the "Firm Feel" in the Amazon title: Nectar's own description and the reviewers call it medium firm.

Hot sleepers and people who change position often should look at a hybrid instead. Foam this thick holds some heat and is slow to spring back, and the edges give when you sit on them.

Like the DreamCloud, it costs $699 from Amazon, right at its 90-day average. It sold for about $552 in late June.

The Siena Signature is the mattress we would buy on a budget for a bed you sleep on every night. Tom's Guide named it the best budget mattress in its 2025 awards, finding support you would expect from a far pricier bed, and Reviewed found good cooling and motion isolation. It is firm and fairly flat, which suits back and stomach sleepers.

Side sleepers, especially lighter ones, should expect it to feel too firm; TechRadar found little contouring. Reviewers also split on its edges and heat, with Sleep Foundation less impressed than Reviewed.

It is one of two Picks below its usual price as we checked. At $329 from Amazon it is only about $6 under its 90-day average, but that matches its lowest price of the past year.

The Helix Midnight is our pick for side sleepers. A pillow top over zoned coils lets the shoulders and hips sink in while the middle stays supported, and Sleep Foundation rated it 9.5 out of 10 for side sleepers under 130 lb and 8 out of 10 for those from 130 to 230 lb. Tom's Guide, reviewing an earlier version, praised its motion isolation and temperature control.

Stomach sleepers and heavier back sleepers should skip it, because it is too soft to keep the hips level. For firmer support at a lower price, the DreamCloud Classic is the better buy.

At about $1,183 it costs a little more than its 90-day average, and the listing was sold by a third-party seller rather than Amazon when we checked. It dropped to $999 on October 31 last year, so a cut of that size is the one to wait for.

The Purple Plus is the one to buy if you have tried memory foam and disliked the sinking feeling. Its 2-inch GelFlex Grid gives under the shoulders and hips and pushes back quickly, which Sleep Doctor credits for contouring without trapping you, and Tom's Guide included it in its guide to the best mattresses for back pain. Reviewers also find it cooler than foam beds, and Sleep Doctor recommends it for side sleepers under 230 lb.

The grid feels unusual, so try one in a store if you can. A queen weighs around 109 lb, which is a two-person job up the stairs.

This is not a deal. A third-party seller had it at $2,099 when we checked, about $220 above its 90-day average. It fell to about $1,519 the day before Thanksgiving last year, and that is the price to watch for.

The Tuft & Needle Original suits back and stomach sleepers who want foam without the slow sink of memory foam. Its adaptive foam has more bounce, NCOA gave it 4.5 out of 5 for motion isolation, and Reviewed called it the best foam mattress for the money. Sleepopolis rated its firmness 6 out of 10, a touch softer than medium firm.

The edges are its weak point and the most consistent complaint in reviews. Lighter side sleepers will find it too firm, and Tom's Guide's warmest testers did not find it cooling.

We would not buy it at its current price. At $995 from Amazon it costs about $200 more than its 90-day average, and it sold for about $582 on Thanksgiving Day last year. If it does not come down, the Siena gives back and stomach sleepers similar support for far less.

The CopperFlex Pro is our pick for hot sleepers. NapLab named it the best hybrid on Amazon, finding strong cooling, good pressure relief from a thick comfort layer and little motion transfer for a coil bed. It suits sleepers who wake up warm on foam and want a thicker comfort layer than the DreamCloud has.

At 14 inches it needs deep-pocket sheets, and NapLab found it less bouncy and a little slow to respond. It also has only a handful of Amazon ratings, so there is little owner feedback on how it holds up.

At $999 from a third-party seller, it sits about $14 above its 90-day average. Its lowest price of the past year was about $932 in February, so any Black Friday price below that would be a real saving.

The Linenspa 10-inch hybrid is the mattress for a guest room, a kid's room or a first apartment. It puts steel coils under a memory foam top for the price of a cheap foam bed. Tom's Guide calls it one of the best hybrids for a tight budget and recommends the 10-inch over the thinner 8-inch for adults, and one of its testers found it comfortable for stomach sleeping.

The comfort layer is thin and durability is unproven for nightly use, so for your own bed the Siena is the better buy.

This is the clearest saving here. At about $263 from Amazon, it is roughly $25 under its 90-day average and at its lowest price of the past year. If a holiday guest is coming, check the delivery date before you order.
