As you may have noticed, mattress shopping holidays aren’t limited to just Memorial Day, Labor Day, or even the Fourth of July anymore. Now that Amazon Prime Day is nearly a week long, it’s become something of a holiday in and of itself, so it makes sense that Amazon would start offering mattresses too.
We’ve listed our favorite Prime Day mattress deals that someone on our staff has tested themselves and personally vouches for. If you want to know more about our favorite mattresses, we have you covered there too. Keep an eye on all the Prime Day sales going on, as we are doing lots of live coverage to keep you informed. And of course, we’ll keep this list updated as deals roll in.

WIRED Featured Deals
For Dreamy Support
When WIRED Reviewer Molly Higgins tested the DreamCloud Hybrid, there were some standout (or, rather, bounce house) features to the bed. Given the hybrid construction, the use of memory foams and coils weren’t just supportive—they were very responsive. This kind of bouncy feel could be helpful for co-sleepers and combination sleepers who toss and turn a lot in their sleep. Molly also noted that while the bed’s edge support was an actual letdown (meaning, not the most sturdy), the policies definitely weren’t. The DreamCloud Hybrid has free shipping, a yearlong sleep trial, and “forever warranty” coverage against defects. Plus, now it’s on sale! Woo-hoo!
Fresh With Green Tea
I know matcha lovers everywhere just perked up, and yes, the Zinus 12-inch green tea memory foam mattress does indeed contain green tea. The premise of this all-foam mattress is the use of green tea and charcoal infused in its memory foam layers to keep out moisture that could result in germ and odor buildup. WIRED reviewer Molly Higgins also gave this bed a go and found it to be a bit too firm for her smaller stature. However, this exact reason could be beneficial for sleepers with back pain, as well as heavier sleepers, who require a firmer surface to keep their spines happy and in alignment.
Basic Support, Better Price
The name insinuates it, but this is a pretty basic mattress, and according to WIRED reviewer Martin Cizmar’s personal testing, it won’t be the most supportive for taller and heavier sleepers. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its place among certain shoppers, though. Whether you need a quickly-delivered-via-Amazon mattress for a last-minute guest room upgrade, an Airbnb, a child’s bedroom, or even a daybed setup, this is a cheap and pretty solid-performing option. And, as luck would have it, the 12-inch, twin-size version is what’s on major sale for Prime Day.
For a Straight Spine
Some people swear by the power of the Plank, and two of those people happen to be testers on WIRED’s team. Reviewers Adrienne So and Nena Farrell have both spent time with this flippable, super-firm bed. Both find that it is the firm feel that plays a crucial role in maintaining spine support and keeping it from slipping and dipping into odd angles. The king-size version of the Plank Firm is on Prime Day special, and spoiler alert: It’s actually a better deal than Plank’s Fourth of July mattress sale happening right now.
Some Sheets We Love
What was once an impulse purchase has turned out to be one of the best sleep-related purchases I’ve made to date. These cooling bamboo sheets feel just as buttery and luxurious as some pricier brands out there that I’ve tried. Plus, they’re on sale for Prime Day—the hard part will just be picking out what colorway you want.
A Pillowcase for Hair Health
I see this thing all over TikTok, and I already know that silk has a lot of benefits for skin and hair health. If it’s the same targeted ads for you, now’s the time to find out for yourself if it’s the pillowcase of your dreams. As for WIRED reviewer Louryn Strampe, she mentions that the silk’s soft slipperiness (say that three times fast) is awesome, and the zipper keeps it from sliding right off her pillow.
