Finding an affordable mattress that meets all your sleeping preferences can be challenging, but there are surprisingly good options that are reasonably priced and readily available at major retailers or online during holiday sales.
These mattresses may not offer cutting-edge innovations or superior materials, but that doesn’t mean they won’t provide an enjoyable night’s rest.
1. Linenspa Mattress
Linenspa offers an affordable hybrid mattress. Constructed of foam layers and coils, its construction makes this mattress perfect for children as its thin structure still offers support and comfort. Plus, lightweight stomach sleepers will find that its open coils keep their spine properly aligned while providing great bounce from comfort foam layers!
Back and side sleepers alike will appreciate the balanced cushioning and support offered by this mattress, while couples may appreciate its motion isolation features. For optimal restful slumber experience, consider opting for something firmer with better motion isolation capabilities.
As this mattress lacks cooling features, it may not be ideal for hot sleepers. Since memory foam and polyfoam layers tend to trap heat, those prone to overheating may find it hard to sleep on it.
This mattress comes as a bed-in-a-box model, meaning it will arrive directly at a customer’s home and require them to remove several layers of plastic before positioning on their bed and puncturing through its final layer of plastic to allow full expansion.
Mattresses typically come with a 10-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and craftsmanship; this doesn’t cover normal wear-and-tear or sagging that occurs after several years – something to bear in mind for long-term investments in mattresses. When purchasing online, compare warranties before making your selection; some brands provide longer trial periods and warranties than others.
2. Dreamfoam Arctic Dreams Mattress
Brooklyn Bedding’s Dreamfoam subsidiary offers budget-conscious mattress shipments directly to your door, such as the Arctic Dreams mattress from Brooklyn Bedding’s Dreamfoam line. Sleepers seeking convenience over costly brick-and-mortar stores should consider these products from Brooklyn Bedding instead of traditional brick-and-mortar shops for their sleeping needs.
This model comes equipped with a quilted cover designed to resist body impressions. Constructed of cotton and polyester fabrics for comfort and breathability, the cover also helps regulate temperatures by absorbing and dissipating heat efficiently.
The mattress features a 2.5-inch patented Energex polyfoam comfort layer designed to bridge the gap between latex and visco-memory foam to offer responsiveness and pressure point relief, while being instilled with TitaniumGel, an energy regulating material, helping maintain an ideal temperature inside of its walls.
As such, this mattress is an ideal choice for hot sleepers. The quilted plush top and Energex foam layer offer excellent responsiveness and airflow, so they won’t get stuck between their sheets or feel overheated during the night. Plus, its high-density supportive base offers some bounce which helps reposition sleepers as well as reduce motion transfer with roommates who move around frequently in bed.
Back sleepers will appreciate the Arctic Dreams mattress’s firmness level, which helps prevent pressure points in key areas like neck and shoulders from developing. But heavier individuals may find this mattress too light as it fails to distribute their weight evenly across its surface area.
CertiPUR-US certification of this mattress ensures it is free from potentially hazardous chemicals and meets a set of quality standards established by an independent regulatory organization. When compared with hybrid beds that often cost over $2,000, this mattress represents exceptional value.
3. Nectar Bed
The Nectar Bed provides the ideal balance of contouring and support thanks to three layers of memory foam. While not as bouncy as hybrid mattresses with coils, most sleepers should find it suitable. Also available as medium firm version that should suit back and average-weight side sleepers under 230 pounds who prefer firmer mattresses; may be too soft for heavier back/tummy sleepers though. Those who sleep hot may appreciate its cooling gel foam layer which helps regulate body temperature.
Nectar offers two upgraded versions of its flagship mattress to provide an even bouncier sleeping experience: Premier and 14-Inch Premier Copper models. Both mattresses have 4 inches of gel-infused memory foam while 14 Inch Premier Copper adds additional cooling technology with copper fibers incorporated into its cover – although both models are considered medium firmness on a six firmness scale (although Premier provides slightly more edge support).
Both models of these mattresses offer a 365-night trial period with free delivery right to your door and an indestructible lifetime warranty, providing excellent value. Buyers have reported positive results across several categories. Negative reviews have, however, highlighted issues with both their customer service team and trial period policies.
Tuft & Needle mattress stands up against Nectar as an alternative, boasting two layers of foam for maximum support and bouncier feel. Customers have given it high marks – in fact it’s one of Amazon’s highest-rated beds with over 57,000 reviews! Buyers love its straightforward design which caters to most sleeper types. Compared with Nectar this mattress does provide better edge support and bouncier feel – though it does cost slightly more.
4. Siena Mattress
The Siena mattress is an offshoot of Nectar memory foam mattresses and shares many similar characteristics. Both mattresses boast soft quilted covers made from cooling poly-blend with polyethylene (a common plastic used for bags, trash cans and more), as well as five layers of memory foam: firstly two-inch layers that contour to your body shape easily for pressure relief; followed by five-inch foundational foam for structure and durability; and finally a 1.5-inch layer with cooling gel-infused memory foam that wick away body heat for improved breathability.
Siena mattress offers medium-firm support at an attractive price point. Ideal for couples who desire minimal motion transfer due to its foam construction that isolates movement. Heavy sleepers may find the Siena less supportive than other options and should seek alternative mattresses instead.
Siena mattresses ship free in a box and can reach you between two to five business days after ordering online. Once delivered, it may require several hours to expand fully to its full size.
Siena mattresses offer an industry-leading 180-night home trial period and 10-year warranty, and currently sell for an excellent $399 price point for queen sizes. Customers can bundle this mattress with an upholstered headboard, cooling pillows and sheet set for only $99. Siena belongs to Resident Home’s family of brands which prides themselves on providing high value products at highly affordable prices.
5. Dreamcloud Mattress
Dreamcloud mattresses have recently made their way across Europe and North America, and ship directly to customers’ doors. Their mattress-in-a-box models are constructed using premium hypoallergenic materials that ship directly from Dreamcloud headquarters in California. Its 8-layer system consists of an Euro-top layer featuring quilted cashmere covering; high-loft memory foam for pressure relief; individually wrapped coils to support and durability, and finally an anti-burst base layer – each layer being CertiPUR-US certified free from ozone depleters, formaldehyde, lead or heavy metals.
Dreamcloud mattresses stand out from other bed-in-a-box brands by using more than just layers of foam; their mattresses also include an innerspring core for greater body contouring and movement response than other sleep surfaces. There’s a range of sizes to select from to find one that meets your exact sleep position and weight requirements, and each coil is individually encased to prevent roll-off. They make ideal solutions for people experiencing difficulties with motion transfer as their coils prevent roll-off from rolling off onto other parts of the mattress surface.
Our average-sized side sleeper long-term tester absolutely loved this mattress! She found it supportive and comfortable after an easy break-in period, while its cooling pocketed coils kept her cool throughout the night – an important consideration when dealing with heat retention while sleeping.
Dreamcloud mattresses offer luxury hybrid sleep surfaces at an attractive value price, and its generous 365-night home trial is a major draw. Other bed-in-a-box companies typically only provide 200 night risk-free trials; Dreamcloud stands out with its generous offering with its lengthy 365 night home trial period and forever warranty coverage if sagging or early wear becomes an issue.
