2 min readOUR EDITORS have long looked to Amazon as a place to shop for a new mattress, and the retailer's major sales throughout the year—like October Prime Day, named Prime Big Deal Days—makes shopping there that much sweeter.
The sale ends tonight, October 9, and Queen-sized mattresses are still as low as $236 (with over 1,400 five-star reviews) and we're also seeing price cuts as high as 39 percent off top brands like Nectar, Casper, and Purple.
We've dropped our favorite mattress deals below (these prices are mostly for Queen sizes), but heads up: Sale pricing may fluctuate based on mattress size.
The Best Prime Day Mattress Deals
Is Amazon a Good Place to Buy a Mattress?
To keep it short and sweet, yes. The mega-retailer carries a range of brands, including top household names, like Purple, Casper, and Nectar. Nine out of ten of our top mattresses of 2024 are available on Amazon, and with so many bed-in-a-box options, delivery and setup is a lot simpler than coordinating timing with shipping services and maneuvering a large bed around your house.
When Is the Best Time of Year to Buy a Mattress?
After years of covering major holiday sales, brand savings events, and everything in between, our editors have concluded that Prime Day (July and October) and Black Friday (November) are two of the best times of the year to upgrade your sleep setup. Amazon's sale has notably brought prices down to some of the lowest we've ever seen, and this year is looking like no different.
