But in general, a mattress that’s considered comfortable for most people should provide adequate pressure-point relief and good back support (the aaah feeling is a bonus). There are certainly cheap mattresses that meet those criteria. Anything beyond that—say, how fluffy the surface is or how nice the memory-foam sink feels—is completely dependent on a person’s build and preferences. In truth, their durability and how long their initial comfort will last are perhaps the bigger concerns with cheap mattresses.\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I consider a more expensive mattress?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It all depends on your personal needs. As we note above, if you don’t have specific sleep concerns (such as back problems), if you move frequently, or if you otherwise don’t need a mattress to last for more than a few years, you can get a decently comfortable queen-size mattress for less than $500. A cheap mattress can also be a good choice for an infrequently used guest room.\nHowever, if you do have more-specialized needs, or you want to make a long-term purchase (you want a mattress to last five years or longer), a cheap mattress might not be the greatest option. If you buy a pricier mattress, you’ll likely be happier with your purchase over the long term. This is especially true if you’re shopping for an innerspring mattress. After testing several cheap innerspring mattresses, we found that most priced under $500 (for a queen) were almost unbearably uncomfortable. Though some cheap foam and hybrid mattresses still feel reasonably comfortable, pricier ones—like those we recommend in our guides to the best foam mattresses and the best hybrid mattresses—tend to be made from denser foams and are usually more durable. Companies that sell pricier mattresses also tend to be more transparent about how their mattresses are made. They also tend to offer longer trial periods and have more-flexible return policies (though not in all cases).\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"When is the best time to buy a mattress?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The best mattress sales are routinely seen on Presidents’ Day in February. But that isn’t the only time of year to buy a mattress. Mattresses also go on sale on Memorial Day and Labor Day. And since many people purchase cheap mattresses at Amazon or other online retailers, Amazon Prime Day and Cyber Monday deals can provide good bang for your buck, too.\n"}}]}</script><link

Most mattresses less than $500 are all foam or foam-forward hybrids, rather than innerspring models. (As we explain in our guide to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-innerspring-mattress/#what-to-know-about-innerspring-mattresses">best innerspring mattresses</a>, a decent-quality coil mattress typically costs at least $500 for a queen.) Cheaper mattresses are likely to be made from lower-quality polyfoam and memory foam (memory foam is a type of polyfoam that’s denser and less springy). They tend to have fewer layers and offer few to no bells and whistles, such as contoured or zoned foams or cooling cover materials. (We’ve <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/">argued</a> that many “special features” probably aren’t worth paying extra for anyway.)</p><aside class="f46340a9"><p data-scp="pullquote">Concerns over the durability of cheaper foams used in budget mattresses are valid.</p></aside><p>Cheaper mattresses likely won’t last as long as those made from higher-quality materials, noted <a href="https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/research-faculty/directory/profiles/carr-stephen.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Stephen Carr</a>, a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University and an expert on the polyurethane foams commonly used in inexpensive mattresses. Carr described all foam as a “suspension of bubbles”; memory foam specifically is a closed-cell foam, which means thin membranes separate the bubbles from one another. If a closed-cell foam is of lower quality, those membranes will break more easily, affecting the integrity of the foam and causing the mattress to sag over time. This may be an issue for people who weigh more than 200 pounds or sleep on the same part of the bed every night (which can lead to body impressions).</p><p>In comparing companies that sell pricier mattresses with those selling cheap mattresses, we found that cheap-mattress companies tend to be harder to get in touch with, have worse customer service, and are less forthcoming about how they manufacture their beds.</p><aside class="d6a9b639" data-scp="inline_recirc" data-testid="recirc-grid"><h4 class="f7b4df64" data-scp="inline_recirc_title hidden">Further reading</h4><ul class="b3d51331" data-scp="inline_recirc_list"><li class="ba287d6a ed4e7a20" data-related-id="77778" data-gtm-element="inline_module" data-inline-module-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" data-inline-module-index="0" data-scp="inline_recirc_item"><article class="a2173826" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" data-title="How to Choose a Mattress" data-content-type="review" aria-labelledby="group-title-77778" aria-describedby="group-text-77778"><div class="cde69604" data-scp="removed"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" tabindex="-1" data-related-id="77778" data-inline-module-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" data-inline-module-index="0" data-gtm-trigger="inline_module"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="How to Choose a Mattress" itemProp="image" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=90" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=150" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=150 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=150&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=150&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=90 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=90&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/mattressbuyingguide-fullres-6011.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=3:2&amp;width=90&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="150" height="100" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce e7a1aff2 "/></div></a></div><div class="ba3782d5"><h3 class="c89ed24f" data-scp="inline_recirc_headline"><a id="group-title-77778" class="f325b457" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" aria-label="How to Choose a Mattress" data-related-id="77778" data-inline-module-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/" data-inline-module-index="0" data-gtm-trigger="inline_module">How to Choose a Mattress</a></h3><div id="group-text-77778" class="fca148e3" data-scp="removed" data-testid="recirc-summary"><p>We’ve collected all our big-picture mattress-buying advice to help you find a bed you’ll happily sleep on for years.</p></div></div></article></li></ul></aside><p>There’s also something very unpleasant that can happen to a cheap foam mattress. Carr told us that the polyurethane foam in mattresses reacts with moisture (whether from the air or from sweat), causing hydrolysis. That chemical reaction produces urea, one of the main components of urine. There are additives that stabilize the foam to prevent hydrolysis, but they’re expensive, and cheap-mattress manufacturers might cut corners to keep their costs lower, Carr said. So over time, your bed could start to smell … like pee. We haven’t experienced this with the mattresses we’ve chosen for this guide. But using a waterproof <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-waterproof-mattress-protectors-and-pads/">mattress cover</a> or <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-mattress-and-pillow-protectors/">encasement</a> (which we recommend for all mattresses anyway) might help prevent hydrolysis.</p><div><div

appeal primarily to back- and stomach-sleepers. (This mattress was previously called the Zinus Green Tea Cooling Swirl Mattress. Zinus has not made any changes to the mattress other than a new cover.)</p><p><strong>How it feels:</strong> This mattress is on the firmer end of medium-firm.</p><p><strong>Why it’s great: </strong></p><ul><li><strong>It offers the best combination of cushion and support.</strong> A favorite among test panelists over multiple rounds of testing, and a pick since 2022, this mattress offers a great mix of springiness and cradling foam. One tester noted, “It’s firm enough to keep my posture [aligned] but soft enough that it sinks for my hips and shoulders so they don’t hurt.” Another tester said it “felt substantial, dense, and supportive with some muted bounce.” Most notably, no tester selected this mattress as their least favorite in our most recent round of group testing in 2024.</li><li><strong>It’s responsive. </strong>As a coil-and-foam combo, this mattress has a notably spring-forward feel, offering more bounce than all-foam mattresses (which tend to feel more sinky and body-conforming). The top foam layer does not cuddle or hug, so you feel like you’re sleeping right on top of the mattress, instead of in it. Many testers found it was easier to move around on or get up from this mattress.</li></ul><div class="ce43b2db fa61999a" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

mattresses. However, in a 10-inch queen, it weighs a decently hefty 79.8 pounds and has 690 coils.</li><li><strong>It has some nicer-than-average details.</strong> Unlike the typical sock cover found on cheap mattresses, the Zinus Cooling Comfort Support Hybrid Mattress has a nice-looking jacquard cover with helpful handles on the side. Several testers in our most recent round of testing noted the mattress “felt expensive.”</li></ul><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li><strong>Customer service and quality control can be iffy.</strong> We’ve encountered more shipping and return hiccups with Zinus mattresses, compared with those from pricier brands. In 2019, a staff member bought the 10-inch queen directly from Zinus and loved it. However, in 2023, they bought a 12-inch queen from Amazon for their guest room, and they noticed some stark differences, saying that it’s “unforgivingly firm and uncomfortable.” (According to Zinus representatives, no changes were made to the mattress during this time except for aesthetic changes to the cover, so we can’t be sure what caused the second mattress to feel so unlike the first one.)</li></ul><ul><li><strong>It’s not soft. </strong>The relative firmness of this mattress may appeal to those who like a more-buoyant, less-plush feel. But this one may be too rigid for those who prefer to sink into their mattress at the end of a long day (or night).</li><li><strong>The edge support isn’t great. </strong>Despite the overall firmness of this model, the edge of the mattress noticeably dips when you sit on it.</li></ul><h3>Key specs</h3><ul><li><strong>Materials: </strong>gel memory foam, memory foam, coils; poly-jacquard

prefer a classic memory-foam sink. Because it isn’t particularly plush, back- and stomach-sleepers are more likely to appreciate the supportive feel of this mattress. But the conforming, memory-foam top offers some pressure relief for side-sleepers.</p><p><strong>How it feels: </strong>This mattress is medium-firm.</p><p><strong>Why it’s great: </strong></p><ul><li><strong>It has a good balance of support and cushion. </strong>This mattress is constructed with fairly rigid foam layers, which provide an underlying foundation of support. However, it has a top memory-foam layer that’s almost squishy, with just the slightest bit of resilience.</li><li><strong>It offers a Tempur-Pedic–like feel, without a Tempur-Pedic price.</strong> In our group test, those who typically prefer Tempur-Pedic–style mattresses—which have a quicksand-like sink—especially liked the pronounced sink and body-conforming feel of the Novilla Bliss mattress. One tester, who usually dislikes that “sink-into-void” feeling, remarked that even they felt supported and comfy. This mattress’s foam molds to the body, offering an approximation of the classic Tempur-Pedic feel for hundreds of dollars less. People who prefer to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-mattress-for-back-sleepers/">sleep on their back</a> or <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-mattresses-for-stomach-sleepers/">their stomach</a> should appreciate the spinal support.</li><li><strong>It offers great motion isolation.</strong> This mattress is good for those who share a bed—it would easily pass the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dl6Ydu0q1A" rel="noopener" target="_blank">wine-glass test (video)</a>. One Wirecutter staffer who has been co-sleeping in the Novilla Bliss with their son finds the mattress to be “super cozy and comfy” and sleeps well in it, even when their kid has them shoved up against the wall. However, jumping right out of this bed in the morning might be difficult due to the mattress’s Tempur-Pedic–like sinking sensation.</li><li><strong>It has solid edge support.</strong> If you sleep near the edge of this mattress, you won’t feel as if you’re going to fall off.</li></ul><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

It doesn’t cuddle you at first. Instead, it keeps you positioned firmly on the top of the mattress, as you slowly melt into the very top layer.</li><li><strong>Shifting positions can take more effort.</strong> Several testers noted that this model’s slow-sinking memory-foam top and relative lack of bounciness made shifting positions difficult.</li><li><strong>Its design is basic.</strong> Like many cheap foam mattresses, this one has a plain, sock-style cover that doesn’t look or feel especially luxurious. It also lacks handles on the sides for rotating or moving it.</li><li><strong>Its foam densities are just okay. </strong>Novilla was one of the few companies that would reveal the foam densities of its mattresses. The polyfoam base layers have densities of 1.6 and 1.8 pounds per cubic foot, similar to foams found in pricier mattresses. But the density of the upper memory-foam layer is an underwhelming 1.9 pounds per cubic foot; that suggests this mattress won’t be as durable as those made with denser memory foams, such as the <a

One tester, typically a side- and back-sleeper, remarked that they felt comfortable and supported regardless of their position on the mattress: “This mattress had the perfect amount of sink-in comfort,” they said. “I don’t usually sleep on my stomach, but it feels great!” It earned the most overall favorite votes of any mattress we tested.</li><li><strong>It’s substantial and supportive.</strong> Resident, the company that makes Siena mattresses, wouldn&#x27;t tell us the densities of the foam it uses in the Siena Hybrid Premier. However, the mattress weighs a substantial 91 pounds (in queen), notably heavier than our other hybrid pick, the <a href="#a-supportive-springy-mattress-under-500-zinus-cooling-comfort-support-hybrid-mattress">Zinus Cooling Comfort Support Hybrid Mattress.</a> That weight suggests the mattress is made with denser, more supportive foams, in addition to its pocketed 768 coils. Testers’ notes affirm this: People found the mattress to be firm with some bounce, but exceptionally stable, offering comfortable pressure relief, and adequate support for their lower back and stomach.</li></ul><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_406418" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Someone pulling the handle of a Siena Hybrid Premier Mattress." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02157.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-406418"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Siena Hybrid Premier has thoughtful touches not often found on cheaper mattresses, like handles on the side.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Marki Williams</span></figcaption></figure></div><ul><li><strong>It has excellent edge support.</strong> Cheaper mattresses tend to offer insufficient edge support.

price. (It’s currently around $580 for a queen; it’s $500 if you buy it in a Costco store, but you’ll have to haul it home yourself.) With its billowy surface and cradling, cushy feel, the ComfortGrande feels similar to much pricier <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-foam-mattresses-you-can-buy-online/">all-foam mattresses we’ve tried</a>. It is often on sale for $500 (sometimes less) online. If you’re not in a rush to get a new mattress, it may be worthwhile to wait for the price to drop.</li><li><strong>It uses dense foams. </strong>The company wouldn’t reveal the exact foam density to us. But it did say the memory-foam layer was in the range of 3 to 3.5 pounds per cubic foot, and it said the polyfoam was in the range of 1.8 to 2 pounds per cubic foot. Those numbers make this model’s layers similar to or denser than foams found in mattresses costing $1,000 or more, like the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/13828/39559/4/176724/?merchant=Leesa" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Leesa" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/13828/39559/4/176724/?merchant=Leesa" data-vars-store="Leesa" data-gtm-context="chapter_a-great-value-memory-foam-mattress-novaform-comfortgrande-advanced-14-inch-gel-memory-foam-mattress" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Leesa" data-pid="13828" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/13828/39559/4/176724/?merchant=Leesa">Leesa Original</a>, a pick in our guide to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-foam-mattresses-you-can-buy-online/">memory foam mattresses</a>.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>It’s lofty and substantial. </strong>The ComfortGrande’s slightly quilted top and 14-inch thickness make it look and feel sturdier than any of the other cheap mattresses we’ve tried. One tester said, “This one feels unexpectedly expensive. Another tester in this most recent round of cheap mattress testing, praised the Novaform for feeling “lofty, soft, and much more luxurious” than the other memory foam mattress options they tested.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>It relieves pressure without feeling sinky. </strong>The top layer of the ComfortGrande cradles without swallowing you whole. It offers a little give when you lie down but never causes that classic memory-foam sink. One tester described it as “stuffed, like a dense, fat cushion.” This mattress is by no means plush, but nestling into it on our backs or stomachs felt supportive and comfortable. This mattress has a slight bounciness that makes it easy to move around on.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>It offers excellent motion isolation. </strong>That ratio of slight bounce and cradling means this mattress reduces motion transfer well.</li><li><strong>It comes with an outstanding warranty and return policy. </strong>Thanks to <a href="https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1191/~/what-is-costcos-return-policy%3F" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Costco’s generous return policy</a> (the best we’ve seen), if you decide at any point that you don’t like the mattress, you can arrange for a free pickup and a full refund.

doesn’t offer a luxurious hotel-mattress feel. One tester, a side-sleeper, criticized this mattress for being “not soft and way too inflexible, like lying on a gym mat.” If you’re a side-sleeper, or if you simply prefer a softer cushion for your shoulders and hips, this might not be the right choice for you.</li><li><strong>The edge support is just okay. </strong>The edge support is also somewhat lacking.

Here’s what we looked for:</p><ul><li><strong>Decent materials and construction: </strong>As we note in our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/">mattress-buying guide</a>, foam density is a good proxy for mattress quality. A decent memory-foam mattress should have a foam density of at least 3 pounds per cubic foot, and for a non-memory polyfoam model, it should be 1.8 pounds per cubic foot. (Most cheap foam mattresses don’t meet these criteria, so we gave extra notice to those that did.) We also considered the mattresses’ dimensions (focusing on options that were at least 10 inches thick) and the number of foam layers. And we noted the total weight of each one so that we could get a read on how substantial a mattress was—heavier mattresses tend to indicate higher foam densities. For innerspring and hybrid mattresses, we also considered the coil count. We looked for mattresses with at least 500 coils (in queen size), which we considered to be the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-innerspring-mattress/#what-to-know-about-innerspring-mattresses">bare minimum</a> for a passably comfortable spring mattress.</li><li><strong>A trial period or the ability to return: </strong>Companies that make cheap mattresses tend to be less generous with trial periods and returns. In general, we prioritized companies that allow you to try out the mattress or, at least, to get your money back or exchange the mattress if you don’t like it. All of our picks have at least a 100-day trial or return period.</li><li><strong>Warranty:</strong> We considered mattresses with warranty coverage of 10 years or more. We valued companies that at least nominally stood behind their products, as well as those that would work with customers if a mattress was defective (such as a severe indent in the foam, or a mattress that failed to expand to full height).</li></ul><p>We then conducted brand-concealed testing in our Long Island City, New York, office to evaluate the most promising options. We encased each mattress in a plain white bed bug cover and set it up on a bed frame. In our most recent round of testing, more than 20 volunteer testers of all sleep positions tried eight inexpensive mattresses against our existing picks, tossing and turning on each bed and filling out a detailed survey along the way. This included a group of paid testers with diverse backgrounds, builds, and mobility levels, including people weighing over 200 pounds and those with chronic pain and other disabilities.</p><p>We told testers to consider things like motion control and edge support, and we asked them to provide their overall impressions. We also asked them to rank their favorite and second-favorite mattresses, as well as to note which mattress they liked the least.</p><p>Then, at home, we slept on the top-ranked mattresses for at least a week, to assess how supportive and comfortable they felt throughout the night over time.</p><p>Of course, the feel of a mattress can be highly subjective, depending on the individual. A mattress that our testers think is too firm, too sinky, or too springy may fit your needs just right. So, as always, it’s best to consider our observations and then make up your own mind trying out a mattress in person when possible.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-good-mattresses"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-good-mattresses-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other good mattresses" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="10">Other good mattresses</h2><div id="other-good-mattresses-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-good-mattresses" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_192356" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="Best Price Mattress Green Tea Memory Foam on a simple wooden bedframe." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/foammattresses-2048px-8716-1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-192356" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> <!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Sarah Kobos</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42302/167604/4/124212/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42302/167604/4/124212/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-mattresses" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="42302" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42302/167604/4/124212/?merchant=Amazon">Best Price Mattress Memory Foam Mattress</a> was previously a pick in this guide. It stood out for its solid construction and the spinal support it offered. Unlike many memory-foam mattresses, this mattress didn’t produce a deep sinking sensation. Instead, the mattress sank only a little—with just enough nestling to provide some pressure—while remaining very supportive. This one is worth considering if you know you like a memory-foam feel with a little more give, or if it’s on sale.</p><p>When we first tested the popular <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42300/167601/4/142839/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42300/167601/4/142839/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-mattresses" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="42300" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/42300/167601/4/142839/?merchant=Amazon">Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress</a>, in 2020, it was an immediate bust: The mattress edge completely bottomed out and hammocked when we sat on it. And when we reclined, the mattress felt too firm and unsupportive, with flimsy springs and a too-firm foam top. In 2021, we gave this model another try at home, but we initially received a faulty mattress that inflated improperly. Although we had to go through an arduous return process to replace it, the new mattress was cradling yet supportive, bouncy but not too squishy, with solid motion isolation and edge support. This is a great cheap mattress, if you get a good one. If you get a defective one, however, be prepared to go through a return process.</p><p>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18138/182195/4/124223/?merchant=Home%20Depot" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Home Depot" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18138/182195/4/124223/?merchant=Home%20Depot" data-vars-store="Home Depot" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-mattresses" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Home Depot" data-pid="18138" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18138/182195/4/124223/?merchant=Home%20Depot">Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam</a>, also a former pick, is a nicer-feeling memory-foam mattress with a classic sink that still lets you nestle into the top layer.

The result was a bouncy, squishy rectangle that made it feel more “cheap soft” than like a real, plush mattress.</p><p>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47412/175491/4/142843/?merchant=Wayfair" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Wayfair" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47412/175491/4/142843/?merchant=Wayfair" data-vars-store="Wayfair" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-competition" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Wayfair" data-pid="47412" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47412/175491/4/142843/?merchant=Wayfair">Wayfair Sleep Medium Memory Foam Mattress</a> hugged comfortably while still being supportive, and testers who preferred to sleep on their sides liked the way their hips and shoulders sank in without feeling engulfed.

But in general, a mattress that’s considered comfortable for most people should provide adequate <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/buying-a-mattress/#how-to-avoid-back-shoulder-and-hip-pain">pressure-point relief</a> and good back support (the <em>aaah</em> feeling is a bonus). There are certainly cheap mattresses that meet those criteria. Anything beyond that—say, how fluffy the surface is or how nice the memory-foam sink feels—is completely dependent on a person’s build and preferences. In truth, their durability and how long their initial comfort will last are perhaps the bigger concerns with cheap mattresses.</p></div></div><div class="e970e32a"><h3 class="b819dcc5">Should I consider a more expensive mattress?</h3><div class="f4b14e5a"><p>It all depends on your personal needs. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-cheap-mattress/#who-this-is-for">As we note above</a>, if you don’t have specific sleep concerns (such as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/mattresses-for-back-pain/">back problems</a>), if you move frequently, or if you otherwise don’t need a mattress to last for more than a few years, you can get a decently comfortable queen-size mattress for less than $500. A cheap mattress can also be a good choice for an infrequently used guest room.</p><p>However, if you do have more-specialized needs, or you want to make a long-term purchase (you want a mattress to last five years or longer), a cheap mattress might not be the greatest option. If you buy a pricier mattress, you’ll likely be happier with your purchase over the long term. This is especially true if you’re shopping for an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-innerspring-mattress/">innerspring mattress</a>. After testing several cheap innerspring mattresses, we found that most priced under $500 (for a queen) were almost unbearably uncomfortable. Though some cheap foam and hybrid mattresses still feel reasonably comfortable, pricier ones—like those we recommend in our guides to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-foam-mattresses-you-can-buy-online/">the best foam mattresses</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-hybrid-mattresses/">the best hybrid mattresses</a>—tend to be made from denser foams and are usually more durable. Companies that sell pricier mattresses also tend to be more transparent about how their mattresses are made. They also tend to offer longer trial periods and have more-flexible return policies (though not in all cases).</p></div></div><div class="e970e32a"><h3 class="b819dcc5">When is the best time to buy a mattress?</h3><div class="f4b14e5a"><p>The best mattress sales are routinely seen on Presidents’ Day in February. But <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/money/best-time-to-buy-a-mattress/">that isn’t the only time of year to buy a mattress</a>. Mattresses also go on sale on Memorial Day and Labor Day. And since many people purchase cheap mattresses at Amazon or other online retailers, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/amazon-prime-day/">Amazon Prime Day</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/money/best-cyber-monday-mattress-deals-2020/">Cyber Monday deals</a> can provide good bang for your buck,

Most mattresses less than $500 are all foam or foam-forward hybrids, rather than innerspring models. (As we explain in our guide to the best innerspring mattresses, a decent-quality coil mattress typically costs at least $500 for a queen.) Cheaper mattresses are likely to be made from lower-quality polyfoam and memory foam (memory foam is a type of polyfoam that’s denser and less springy). They tend to have fewer layers and offer few to no bells and whistles, such as contoured or zoned foams or cooling cover materials. (We’ve argued that many “special features” probably aren’t worth paying extra for anyway.) Cheaper mattresses likely won’t last as long as those made from higher-quality materials, noted Stephen Carr, a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University and an expert on the polyurethane foams commonly used in inexpensive mattresses. Carr described all foam as a “suspension of bubbles”; memory foam specifically is a closed-cell foam, which means thin membranes separate the bubbles from one another. If a closed-cell foam is of lower quality, those membranes will break more easily, affecting the integrity of the foam and causing the mattress to sag over time. This may be an issue for people who weigh more than 200 pounds or sleep on the same part of the bed every night (which can lead to body impressions). In comparing companies that sell pricier mattresses with those selling cheap mattresses, we found that cheap-mattress companies tend to be harder to get in touch with, have worse customer service, and are less forthcoming about how they manufacture their beds. There’s also something very unpleasant that can happen to a cheap foam mattress. Carr told us that the polyurethane foam in mattresses reacts with moisture (whether from the air or from sweat), causing hydrolysis. That chemical reaction produces urea, one of the main components of urine. There are additives that stabilize the foam to prevent hydrolysis, but they’re expensive, and cheap-mattress manufacturers might cut corners to keep their costs lower, Carr said. So over time, your bed could start to smell … like pee. We haven’t experienced this with the mattresses we’ve chosen for this guide. But using a waterproof mattress cover or encasement (which we recommend for all mattresses anyway) might help prevent hydrolysis.","title":"Who this is for","slug":"who-this-is-for","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_406403","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-406403","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02079.jpg","alt":"The Zinus Cooling Green Tea Hybrid Mattress on a bed frame.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2024/09/matressesunder500-2048px-02079.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photos: Marki Williams"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"primary","id":"5"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Top pick","callouts":[{"name":"Zinus Cooling Comfort Support Hybrid Mattress","title":"Springy support","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/64525/Zinus-Cooling-Comfort-Support-Hybrid-Mattress_20240916-163027_full.jpeg"},"description":"This medium-firm foam-and-coil mattress has a supportive and springy feel, good motion isolation, and decent edge support.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Top pick","pickTypeId":1,"referenceId":194662,"sources":[{"id":205910,"price":{"raw":25999,"formatted":"$260"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKYZNGM8/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/64525/205910/4/194662","store":"Amazon"}],"inactiveSources":[],"productId":64525,"calloutId":"p5","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":205910,"price":{"raw":25999,"formatted":"$260"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKYZNGM8/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/64525/205910/4/194662","store":"Amazon"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"strong","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"Who it’s for:","type":"text"}]},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"class":"product-link","href":"https://wclink.co/link/64525/205910/4/194663/?merchant=Amazon","rel":"noopener sponsored","target":"_blank","data-gtm-trigger":"product_link","data-store":"Amazon","data-pick-type-id":1},"children":[{"data":"The Zinus Cooling Comfort Support Hybrid Mattress","type":"text"}]},{"data":" offers sturdy support that will appeal primarily to back- and stomach-sleepers.

Because it isn’t particularly plush, back- and stomach-sleepers are more likely to appreciate the supportive feel of this mattress. But the conforming, memory-foam top offers some pressure relief for side-sleepers. How it feels: This mattress is medium-firm. Why it’s great:  \tIt has a good balance of support and cushion. This mattress is constructed with fairly rigid foam layers, which provide an underlying foundation of support. However, it has a top memory-foam layer that’s almost squishy, with just the slightest bit of resilience. \tIt offers a Tempur-Pedic–like feel, without a Tempur-Pedic price. In our group test, those who typically prefer Tempur-Pedic–style mattresses—which have a quicksand-like sink—especially liked the pronounced sink and body-conforming feel of the Novilla Bliss mattress. One tester, who usually dislikes that “sink-into-void” feeling, remarked that even they felt supported and comfy. This mattress’s foam molds to the body, offering an approximation of the classic Tempur-Pedic feel for hundreds of dollars less. People who prefer to sleep on their back or their stomach should appreciate the spinal support. \tIt offers great motion isolation. This mattress is good for those who share a bed—it would easily pass the wine-glass test (video). One Wirecutter staffer who has been co-sleeping in the Novilla Bliss with their son finds the mattress to be “super cozy and comfy” and sleeps well in it, even when their kid has them shoved up against the wall. However, jumping right out of this bed in the morning might be difficult due to the mattress’s Tempur-Pedic–like sinking sensation. \tIt has solid edge support. If you sleep near the edge of this mattress, you won’t feel as if you’re going to fall off. \u0026nbsp; Flaws but not dealbreakers \tIt’s not especially soft. The Novilla Bliss mattress doesn’t feel immediately inviting. It doesn’t cuddle you at first. Instead, it keeps you positioned firmly on the top of the mattress, as you slowly melt into the very top layer. \tShifting positions can take more effort. Several testers noted that this model’s slow-sinking memory-foam top and relative lack of bounciness made shifting positions difficult. \tIts design is basic. Like many cheap foam mattresses, this one has a plain, sock-style cover that doesn’t look or feel especially luxurious. It also lacks handles on the sides for rotating or moving it. \tIts foam densities are just okay. Novilla was one of the few companies that would reveal the foam densities of its mattresses. The polyfoam base layers have densities of 1.6 and 1.8 pounds per cubic foot, similar to foams found in pricier mattresses. But the density of the upper memory-foam layer is an underwhelming 1.9 pounds per cubic foot; that suggests this mattress won’t be as durable as those made with denser memory foams, such as the Novaform ComfortGrande.

(It’s currently around $580 for a queen; it’s $500 if you buy it in a Costco store, but you’ll have to haul it home yourself.) With its billowy surface and cradling, cushy feel, the ComfortGrande feels similar to much pricier all-foam mattresses we’ve tried. It is often on sale for $500 (sometimes less) online.

A decent memory-foam mattress should have a foam density of at least 3 pounds per cubic foot, and for a non-memory polyfoam model, it should be 1.8 pounds per cubic foot. (Most cheap foam mattresses don’t meet these criteria, so we gave extra notice to those that did.) We also considered the mattresses’ dimensions (focusing on options that were at least 10 inches thick) and the number of foam layers.

Here’s what we looked for: \tDecent materials and construction: As we note in our mattress-buying guide, foam density is a good proxy for mattress quality. A decent memory-foam mattress should have a foam density of at least 3 pounds per cubic foot, and for a non-memory polyfoam model, it should be 1.8 pounds per cubic foot. (Most cheap foam mattresses don’t meet these criteria, so we gave extra notice to those that did.) We also considered the mattresses’ dimensions (focusing on options that were at least 10 inches thick) and the number of foam layers. And we noted the total weight of each one so that we could get a read on how substantial a mattress was—heavier mattresses tend to indicate higher foam densities. For innerspring and hybrid mattresses, we also considered the coil count. We looked for mattresses with at least 500 coils (in queen size), which we considered to be the bare minimum for a passably comfortable spring mattress. \tA trial period or the ability to return: Companies that make cheap mattresses tend to be less generous with trial periods and returns. In general, we prioritized companies that allow you to try out the mattress or, at least, to get your money back or exchange the mattress if you don’t like it. All of our picks have at least a 100-day trial or return period. \tWarranty: We considered mattresses with warranty coverage of 10 years or more. We valued companies that at least nominally stood behind their products, as well as those that would work with customers if a mattress was defective (such as a severe indent in the foam, or a mattress that failed to expand to full height). We then conducted brand-concealed testing in our Long Island City, New York, office to evaluate the most promising options. We encased each mattress in a plain white bed bug cover and set it up on a bed frame. In our most recent round of testing, more than 20 volunteer testers of all sleep positions tried eight inexpensive mattresses against our existing picks, tossing and turning on each bed and filling out a detailed survey along the way. This included a group of paid testers with diverse backgrounds, builds, and mobility levels, including people weighing over 200 pounds and those with chronic pain and other disabilities. We told testers to consider things like motion control and edge support, and we asked them to provide their overall impressions. We also asked them to rank their favorite and second-favorite mattresses, as well as to note which mattress they liked the least. Then, at home, we slept on the top-ranked mattresses for at least a week, to assess how supportive and comfortable they felt throughout the night over time. Of course, the feel of a mattress can be highly subjective, depending on the individual. A mattress that our testers think is too firm, too sinky, or too springy may fit your needs just right. So, as always, it’s best to consider our observations and then make up your own mind trying out a mattress in person when possible.","title":"How we picked and tested","slug":"how-we-picked-and-tested","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_192356","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-192356","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/01/foammattresses-2048px-8716-1.jpg","alt":"Best Price Mattress Green Tea Memory Foam on a simple wooden bedframe.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":false},"children":[]},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Sarah Kobos"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"The ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"class":"product-link","href":"https://wclink.co/link/42302/167604/4/124212/?merchant=Amazon","rel":"noopener sponsored","target":"_blank","data-gtm-trigger":"product_link","data-store":"Amazon"},"children":[{"data":"Best Price Mattress Memory Foam Mattress","type":"text"}]},{"data":" was previously a pick in this guide.
