Cyber Monday 2023 is here – and it's time to shop. This is the last big sales event of the year, and it's your best chance to get a mattress at a lower price before 2024 comes calling. I write about mattresses all year round, and I've rounded up the best sales available to buy this Cyber Monday. You can find my top picks below. Because I keep a close eye on prices at all times, I know which deals are worth taking notice of and which aren't as good as they seem.
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. We review dozens of beds each year, and you can find information about which models might suit which sleep styles and body types in with each Cyber Monday mattress deal block. Alternatively, you can jump down to my live blog section for more advice about how to choose, or of course consult TechRadar's best mattress guide, which will help you pick the right model for your needs and budget.
Most of these offers have been rolled over from Black Friday, and based on previous years, I expect most to continue into the week after Cyber Monday. However, some key brands will finish their offer at midnight on Monday (27), so to avoid missing the best deal, you're safest buying today. This is the time of year where most big brands match or better their lowest prices of the year, so it's a great time to shop.

The best Cyber Monday mattress deals
Welcome to the TechRadar Cyber Monday mattress deals live blog! Here is where we take a closer look at the day's deals, and tell you whether they're worth your attention or not. I'll also be sharing my expertise on what types of mattress will suit which kind of sleeper, to help you narrow down your options. I've tested dozens of different mattresses during my time as TechRadar's Sleep Editor, so I know what's what. Let's go!
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."
Today's best organic mattresses are generally a pricey buy – most sit in the premium price bracket. While the price is justified by the high-quality materials and certifications, a discount is still welcome! Here's a quick rundown of the best bargains in the Cyber Monday mattress sales...
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.
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.
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."
Good morning, and welcome to the Cyber Monday mattress deals live blog! I'm back to help you with your deal hunting on the last major sales event of 2023. Ready to get great sleep at a budget-friendly price? Let's get started!
Cyber Monday has started, and there are plenty of good mattress deals holding strong – but for how much longer? I expect a few sales to stay live until next week, but others will start dropping off over the coming days, and for some of them today will be the last hurrah. If you want to get a quality mattress at a bargain price, I don't recommend delaying.
That doesn't mean you should buy the first good deal you can find. A mattress is a highly personal choice that must suit your sleep needs. Not sure where to start? Let me help you out.
First, take a look at our guide to how to choose a mattress. This covers the bed basics. Next, immerse yourself in our best mattress guide. Here you can discover all our favorite mattresses, plus more advice on how to find a mattress for you, and links to our hands-on reviews in case you want even more info. Then it's time to head to our Cyber Monday mattress deals hub, where we've rounded up all the best deals that are live today. Finally, come and visit me back here, where I'll have all the latest updates. See you soon!
Right now I'm focusing on Cyber Monday discounts, but it's my job to watch the mattress sales throughout the year. So I know when a Cyber Monday saving is worth getting excited for, and when it's a standard deal in seasonal packaging. For example, 35% off the Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress is a good saving, but one we see all the time.
But other brands are slower to offer deals, meaning Cyber Monday might be the last discount before the year is out. For US readers, the Purple Plus is one of my top picks. The $300 off Cyber Monday sale might not be the major saving of other brands, but it's a rare deal on a premium mattress.
In the UK? Check out the Simba mattress sale. Simba had a mega Black Friday sale, but you can still get some discounts this Cyber Monday. There's 45% off the Simba Hybrid Pro, taking a double down to £879.45 – one of the best prices we've seen for this mattress. This discount won't hang around for long!
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. You can find some in our Cyber Monday mattress deals hub.
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 Cyber Monday mattress deals 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.
