It's Cyber Monday 2023, which means now's a great time to buy a new mattress if you're hoping to score a bargain before 2024 comes calling. Most brands have rolled over their Black Friday discount (in fact, some aren't even referring to it as a Cyber Monday deal at all), and most are either matching or bettering their lowest prices of the year. I write about mattresses all year round, so I know which deals are worth taking advantage of, and which aren't as good as they seem. You can find my top picks below.
It isn't all about price though; a bargain bed isn't a good buy if it's horribly uncomfortable for you to sleep on. Hop to the live section of this article for information about which models might suit which sleep styles and body types. Or, of course, consult TechRadar's best mattress guide, which will help you pick the right model for your needs and budget.
Based on previous years, I expect most of these Cyber Monday mattress deals to continue into this week, but the likes of Tempur-Pedic and Purple are likely to finish sooner that. To avoid missing the best deal, you're safest buying today. Here's your live guide to the best Cyber Monday mattress deals...

The best Cyber Monday mattress deals
I've rounded up all the best deals above, but here is where I'll take a closer look at this year's sales, and help you pick the right ones for your needs. Welcome to the live blog section...
There are lots of excellent Amazon Cyber Monday deals, but if you're wondering whether that's a good place to head for a bed bargain, the answer is no. Amazon does, of course, sell some mattresses, but they tend to be either a. so cheap that they don't come in for further discounts during shopping events, or b. from big-name brands like Nectar and Casper, in which case I always recommend going direct to the brand to make your purchase. Prices are almost always the same, and aftercare is just much more straightforward if you go to the brand itself.
TechRadar has a guide to the best mattresses on Amazon, which you can consult for yourself to see the kind of things you can expect if you choose to shop here. Another thing to be aware of when buying from Amazon is that things like the trial and warranty aren't always available, and when they are, there may be further hoops to jump through to make sure you're eligible. Always read the small print!
If you're looking for a budget-friendly mattress this Cyber Monday, the Allswell is definitely worth checking out – prices start from $217 at Walmart, and although that's not a discount, it's far cheaper than most discounted models, and an incredibly low price for a hybrid. The Allswell is one of our best cheap mattress picks.
In TechRadar's Allswell mattress review, our tester awarded this mattress four stars, saying, "Walmart's Allswell Mattress is a budget-friendly hybrid that... is best for front and back sleepers who weigh under 200lbs, as well as couples who don't want to wake up to their partner's movements. It's a solid pick for guest rooms, college dorms, and quick-fix solutions."
Organic mattresses are always a pricey buy, and while other mattress brands tend to offer evergreen sales, it's less common among these specialist models. If you're considering an eco-friendly mattress, the Cyber Monday sales are a good time to buy to protect your wallet as well as the planet.
It's all very well treating yourself to the best mattress on Cyber Monday, but if you're still sleeping on the same old pillows you won't get the full benefit. Fortunately today's just as good an opportunity to save on plump new pillows.
I've just had a look through our guide to the best pillows and gone out in search of savings, and the good news is that whether you want a traditional down pillow, a contouring foam pillow or a more responsive and temperature-regulating latex pillow, there's a Cyber Monday bargain for you. Here are my top three picks:
Broadly speaking, mattresses can be split by type: foam, hybrid, and innerspring being the most common. You can infer some basics about a mattress depending on what type it is – if I hear a mattress is a memory foam, for example, I assume it has softer cushioning and better motion isolation. Before you start on your mattress buying journey, let's take a quick look at each type.
Foam mattresses can be roughly divided into two further categories: memory foam vs latex. Memory foam is one of the most popular mattress materials, known for a contouring 'hug' feel. Latex is typically a natural material (although, confusingly, not always). Every one of our best organic mattresses contain latex, and it's known to be durable and breathable. It's also expensive – making Cyber Monday a good time to buy.
Hybrid mattresses contain a combination of materials; usually foam and coils. They're highly breathable and tend to have a firmer feel than all-foam mattresses. Hybrid mattresses are often recommend for those with back pain, as they can offer zoned support. Memory foam vs hybrid really comes down to personal preference, as there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
You're most likely to come across innerspring mattresses in mattresses stores, although some online retailers have them for sale. Innerspring mattresses have a traditional feel, with a high level of bounce and response.
What gets you the top spot in TechRadar's best mattress guide? Holding that coveted position is the Saatva Classic (get $400 off with our semi-exclusive deal). In our Saatva Classic review, here's what our tester had to say:
"The Saatva Classic the closest thing to having a hotel mattress in your own home. This handcrafted innerspring hybrid comes in three firmness levels and two heights, so you can pick based on your exact sleep preferences. I found it delivered excellent lumbar support, a cool sleep, and plenty of pressure relief for the back and shoulders. The build quality is worth the price tag, and you have a lifetime warranty and 365-night trial for extra peace of mind."
Because you can pick your firmness level, this mattress can suit a wide range of sleepers. However, there are some people we perhaps wouldn't recommend it to. Here's who should consider a different model:
❌ People who love memory foam: The Classic is mostly springs, with a bouncy, responsive feel. For sink-in foam contouring, consider a Tempur-Pedic – there are discounts across the range for Cyber Monday.
❌ Those with a lower budget: Even with this discount, this Saatva mattress is still an investment. A good alternative is the DreamCloud mattress. It's far cheaper (and 40% off for Cyber Monday) and punches above its price tag.
❌ Those with narrow hallways: Rather than being a bed-in-a-box, the Classic is delivered flat, you will need enough room to get it into place in your home. However, white glove delivery is included, so the delivery people will do the difficult bit for you.
This isn't perhaps the time of year to be thinking about a cooling mattress, but even in the colder months it's still possible to find yourself sweltering in bed if you've overdone it with the covers. And if you tend to sleep hot anyway, a cooling mattress is a great option any time of the year.
And wouldn't you just know it, there are some excellent discounts on cooling options. The ideal cooling mattress, to me, is one with a deep sprung layer to provide plenty of airflow, foam that's infused with some kind of heat-wicking material, and a cover with phase change material that feels spookily cool to the touch. Even better would be a top comfort layer made with wool or cotton fibers, which doesn't trap heat like foams do.
So what's on offer in terms of cooling mattresses for Cyber Monday? Here are some fine picks from top sleep brands.
We all know it's better not to eat and drink in bed, but sipping a Sunday morning coffee while staying tucked between the sheets is one of life's little pleasures and not something I plan on giving up anytime soon. Unfortunately, one little slip and you can find yourself dealing with one of life's biggest annoyances – trying to clean a stain off a mattress.
Although it is important to clean your mattress regularly, the best way to keep your bed fresh is to invest in a mattress protector. This is simply a layer that fits between the mattress and your sheets, to guard against stains, spills, smells, and sweat. The best mattress protector is an inexpensive buy that makes a big difference to your bed.
The best time to buy a mattress protector is when you buy a mattress. That way, you can start using it as soon as your mattress is setup. And as the best time to buy a mattress is right now, it follows that it's worth adding a mattress protector to your cart before you check out! Look for sitewide discounts, to save across your sleep setup.
I've spotted another strong budget mattress deal: there's 50% off the Siena mattress right now for Cyber Monday. That means a queen size costs $399, which is really very cheap. Here's what our tester had to say in our Siena mattress review:
"The Siena mattress boasts a 5-layer construction and comes with a generous 180-night trial – all for an extremely budget-friendly price. It's a steal for front and back sleepers who love a firm and supportive feel, although side sleepers might prefer a softer touch."
I tend to refer to mattresses by type: foam, hybrid, and innerspring being the most common.

You're most likely to come across innerspring mattresses in mattresses stores, although some online retailers have them for sale. Innerspring mattresses have a traditional feel, with a high level of bounce and response. They're the least durable, and can have very short warranties.

I talk a lot about how important firmness is when it comes to choosing a mattress. But let's be honest, even if you spend all day lying on different beds (something even I'm not allowed to do), firmness might not mean very much to you.
Most mattress brands rate firmness on a scale of 1-10 (we do the same here). Below, I'll try to explain what those ratings mean, so you have a better idea of what you're getting.
1-4/10 goes from extra soft to medium-soft. Softer mattresses are best for side sleepers with light builds. If you choose to go soft, make sure you have enough support at the hips and shoulders. The Tempur-Cloud is super soft and 30% off.
5-6/10 is medium. Firmness is subjective, so a true medium can be tricky to determine. Medium is typically best for side sleepers. We rate the Helix Midnight a 5.5/10, and it's 25% off for Cyber Monday.
7-10/10 runs from medium-firm to extra-firm. Back and stomach sleepers tend to benefit from firmer mattresses, but some side sleepers like the feel. The Awara Hybrid mattress is an 8/10, and you can get $765 off today.
