Here at Clever, we’re documented sleep enthusiasts. Not only have we written about some of the best mattresses on Amazon, we’ve also personally researched and tested many a mattress in the name of journalism.
When looking for the best mattress online, it’s important to know what your non-negotiables are. Do you want a supersoft mattress that conforms around your body like a marshmallow or are you looking for something that falls higher on the firmness scale? Hybrid or all-foam? What about motion isolation? Or are you so low maintenance that you just want a high-quality mattress at a low price? No matter what’s on your wish list, Amazon likely has it covered. Whether you’re brand agnostic or are eyeing something from your favorite sleep retailer like Casper or Tuft & Needle, we’ve rounded up the best Amazon mattresses to buy right now.

Zinus (who makes some of our favorite bed frames) specializes in green tea memory foam mattresses, meaning that green tea extract is infused into the foam layers to maintain freshness. At less than $550 for a queen size, this eight-inch-thick mattress made with triple cooling performance foam is one of the best cooling mattresses on Amazon. It has a top layer of gel memory foam combined with a seven-zone ventilation system to promote airflow, all of which is encased in a cool-to-touch soft knit cover.
Editor’s note: You may have read recently that Zinus mattresses contain fiberglass, a common fire retardant that may irritate the skin or cause respiratory issues. Zinus notes that the mattress cover should never be removed and the Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that fiberglass exposure shouldn’t be an issue to users if the cover is left on, but we’ll update you here if any further news develops.

Tuft & Needle is one of our favorite mattress brands, and we think the Mint is one of the best memory foam mattresses for restless sleepers. It features three layers of T&N’s signature Adaptive foam and more heat-wicking graphite and gel beads than the T&N Original Mattress, making it a great option for hot sleepers too. AD contributor Anna Fixsen reviewed it and rated its comfort level a nine out of 10. As a side sleeper and big toss and turner, she was pleasantly surprised at how fast she found a comfortable sleep position and fell asleep with the Mint.

Exclusive to Amazon, the T&N Nod Hybrid is a great alternative to the brand’s original hybrid if you’re looking for a more affordable price point (and who isn’t?). It features responsive Adaptive foam and a layer of six-inch pocket coils, though it lacks the cooling gel-infused layers seen in the Hybrid and the Mint. It’s also firmer than the original Hybrid, though it’s just as supportive and has the same return policy, 100-night sleep trial period, and 10-year warranty, as other Tuft & Needle mattresses.

Casper mattresses are known for their plush cushioning, and the Original Hybrid is no exception. It features the brand’s signature multizone support system designed to relieve pressure points and align the spine, as well as AirScape technology that keeps heat flowing away from the body. Springs add another layer of breathability, making it a great hybrid mattress for hot sleepers.

The Casper Wave Hybrid is another one of the brand’s best hybrid mattresses, and it’s a particularly good mattress type for those with back pain seeking the best sleep. It has the same multizonal support system as the Casper Original Hybrid, which conforms to your body for a cradling effect, but it offers extra support from gel pods positioned around the waist and lower back. The position of the gel pods also makes it a solid mattress for stomach sleepers.

The Nova Hybrid mattress is one of our top picks from Casper because it balances a superplush feel with substantial support from innersprings.

The Leesa Studio mattress has three layers of memory foam, all encased below a comfortable knit cover: a responsive memory foam top layer that contours to your body, a middle comfort cooling layer with micro air capsules, and a bottom stability layer. Commerce editor Audrey Lee found the mattress ultrasupportive, noting that it has a nice amount of give without being too soft (you can read her full Leesa Studio Mattress review here). It complements just about any sleep style—stomach sleepers, back sleepers who like to spread-eagle, or side sleepers who switch sides throughout the night.

Though it’s certainly on the thinner side at six inches, this Linenspa innerspring mattress has the most five-star reviews of any mattress on this list, with a whopping 42,678. With its tempered steel coils encased in foam and a quilted cover, this pick remains better suited for those who like a firmer feel, but its thin size makes it ideal for a bunk bed, day bed, trundle, or even an RV if you’re looking for an upgrade while you camp. Plus it’s especially economical at a price tag of under $200. (You can also purchase the mattress with a platform bedframe.)
