Amazon has everything, even your next bed. That means that you can skip the crowded stores and coordination of getting a bed delivered. If your priority is to get a simple, affordable mattress, Amazon is a good place to shop. It doesn’t have all of the big mattress brands, but you can find a bunch of great quality options. Some reputable brands also have Amazon-exclusive beds.
From soft memory foam to a soothing cooling mattress to popular hybrid options, we’ve tested the best Amazon mattress for your every sleep need. We used our years of testing experience around 300 beds to put together this list of the best mattresses to buy on Amazon. Our team of experts varies in gender, body size and sleeper needs, so you can trust that there’s something for everyone.
What’s the best mattress to buy on Amazon overall?
If you want a mattress from Amazon made by a trustworthy brand that’s both comfortable and affordable, the Nectar Premier is one of our team’s favorite picks. It’s a crowd-favorite bed perfect for memory foam lovers who want a mattress that’s not too dense but still perfectly cradles their curves. It’s available in an all-foam or hybrid construction. The average person will like this bed, though it might be a little too firm for petite sleepers or side sleepers.

The Nectar Premier is available in an all-foam and hybrid construction. The hybrid version will give you more support and durability in the long run, especially for heavier people. You’ll also get a bit more bounce and airflow thanks to coils, although it sacrifices some motion isolation.
The Nectar Premier is around medium firmness. Any sleeping position can sleep comfortably on it. It’s an excellent choice for couples with different sleeping positions and who need a bed that accommodates both.

Pros
- Great pressure relief
- Has a true memory foam feel
- Affordable for the quality
Cons

Amazon Basics mattress
Most affordable mattress on Amazon
Our take – Amazon couldn’t sell other brands’ mattresses without jumping in for a piece of the pie. The result is the most affordable mattress on Amazon with the queen-size 8-inch bed retailing for only $277. It has a pressure-relieving memory foam top layer and is available in multiple firmness options. Although the mattress is topped with memory foam, you’ll get more of a neutral foam feel when you lie on it. You’re not going to sink very far into the memory foam like Nectar.

Aly Lopez/CNETCNET editors pick the products and services we write about based on editorial merit. When you buy through our links, we may get a commission.
Firmness: Our team takes turns trying out the mattress and laying on top to determine if it’s soft, firm or somewhere in between. Firmness level is an important factor in choosing the best mattress for you.
Feel: We get hands-on with our mattresses; we squish, squeeze and lay on the beds to get a feel for the materials inside. Memory foam makes a mattress slow-responding and pressure relieving, while coils or latex foam are bouncy.
Durability: We typically analyze construction to get a sense of how durable a mattress is, since most of our beds don’t go through the type of wear and tear in our testing period that occurs over the eight-plus years you’ll be sleeping on it. Hybrid mattresses made with coils are more durable and long-lasting than foam beds.
Body type: Heavier individuals should opt for a hybrid mattress because these types of beds offer more support and durability, especially in the long run.
Sleeping position: We get really physical and flip around the mattresses, testing each sleeping position: side, back, stomach and combination.
Motion isolation: If you sleep with a partner you’ll want to consider this feature. We test motion isolation by placing a cup of water at the end of a bed and bouncing it around to test how well it absorbs motion.
Edge support: We analyze a mattress’s materials and physically lay on each edge of the mattress to get a feel for how well it’ll keep us feeling sturdy.
Firmness
This is something you should consider when looking for any mattress. Side sleepers usually prefer a softer mattress that provides give and comfort underneath the hips and shoulders. Back and stomach sleepers will like a firmer mattress that provides back support.
Body type
Our best mattresses on Amazon include a few hybrid picks, which are great for heavier sleepers or anyone looking for additional back support.
Customer reviews
One of the most important things you can do when choosing your next bed is read customer reviews. They will give you first-hand experiences of how the bed was delivered and how it feels.
Mattress type
There are several mattress types to choose from. Memory foam and hybrid constructions are the most popular, though latex and innerspring mattresses are also popular. Deciding what type of mattress you want will help narrow down your options and find your next bed faster.
Trial
When it comes to buying a bed online, you should consider the length of time you get to test your mattress “risk-free.” It takes around 30 days for your body to become acclimated to a mattress, so some people need a longer trial period.
Warranty
A bed’s warranty partly speaks to its durability and how long a brand is willing to back its product. In our experience, the most quality, long-lasting mattresses come with longer warranty periods.
Yes, Amazon carries several beds from popular name brands and even makes its own mattresses. While you won’t find a full catalog of brands, you can find some good wallet-friendly picks.
We recommend the Nectar Premier Hybrid, along with a handful of other beds the CNET sleep editors have personally tested from Amazon.
You can return most mattresses you buy on Amazon, but every bed has its own trial period. Make sure to read up on return and trial policies before buying a mattress on Amazon.
