It's Prime Day 2.0 today and tomorrow (if you'd missed the memo, we don't blame you). If you were wondering about picking up a new mattress today, here's what you need to know. I review mattresses for a living, and I've been monitoring prices for several years now, so I know what makes a good mattress, and a good mattress deal.
While there are lots of decent price drops on tech and the like in the Prime Day sale, it's not such a huge opportunity when it comes to cheap beds. There are two reasons for that: 1. the offers on mattresses are limited – none of our best mattress on Amazon picks are included in today's event. And 2. not many of the best mattresses are even sold through Amazon. Don't despair though, it turns out today is still a pretty good day for a bed bargain – there are a handful of decent offers at Amazon itself (namely this 45% off Simba deal), as well as some particularly strong mattress sales to shop direct from the brands themselves (55% off at Brook + Wilde or 50% off at Eve are the standouts).
If the price is the same, we'd always recommend shopping on the brand's own site rather than somewhere third party like Amazon, purely for the purposes of making aftercare – trials, warranties and the like – more straightforward.
Read on for our pick of the top offers to shop today, in the Prime mattress sale or elsewhere. If you can't see anything that takes your fancy, bear in mind that the Black Friday mattress deals are likely to start going live in mid-November, so you could hang on for those. If you're a Prime subscriber, head to our Prime Day hub or Prime Day live blog for more offers on things that aren't snooze-related.
These are the actually good Prime mattress deals...
And these are the genuinely good offers from around the web that you should consider too (you don't need to sign up for Prime for these, either).
