Watch Our Amerisleep AS3 Video Review

Amerisleep’s AS3 is the company’s most popular mattress model. The medium feel, targeted back support, and pressure relief are a perfect match for side and combination sleepers. The AS3 is available as both a memory foam and hybrid mattress.

All Amerisleep numbered mattresses feature a top layer of Bio-Pur® foam, a more breathable and responsive alternative to traditional memory foam. Bio-Pur® is made by substituting a portion of traditional petrochemicals with plant-based chemicals, creating a more eco-friendly material.

The AS3 memory foam model also features targeted support from its transition layer, along with a sag-resistant base layer. The AS3 Hybrid offers the buoyant, motion-isolating comfort of pocketed coils.

Every Amerisleep mattress includes free shipping, a 100-night sleep trial with free returns, and a generous 20-year warranty. This Black Friday, Amerisleep is offering $500 off any mattress with the code BF500.

Amerisleep will also offer Black Friday deals on their other products, such as the company’s adjustable base. Adjustable bases are an excellent way to increase your comfort, with extra features such as massagers and presets for sitting up in bed to read or watch TV.

Shoppers can save hundreds of dollars this Black Friday by bundling the adjustable base with their choice of mattress, taking 30 percent off their adjustable bed and mattress purchase. Forty percent off is also being offered on upholstered bed frames and mattress purchase combos.

Other notable Black Friday deals include 20 percent off Amerisleep’s mattress toppers, pillows, and bamboo sheets with code BF20.

What the testers say: “I ordered a queen size AS3 online which arrived vacuum-sealed in a compact box. Unboxing took just a few minutes – I cut open the packaging, watched the rolled mattress quickly expand to its full 12-inch thickness, then placed it on my bed frame. ” – Dr. Colleen Ehrnstrom, Ph.D., AS3 Reviewer

Watch Our Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid Video Review

If you’re looking to upgrade your bedroom with a luxury mattress this Black Friday, the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid is an excellent choice. The coils provide bouncy support without being overly firm, and the top two foam layers provide a conforming cushion that’s still responsive. You won’t ever feel stuck in a bed that’s slow to respond to your movements.

The mattress has an Active Flex layer sandwiched between Amerisleep’s proprietary Bio-Pur® and the coil support core. Active Flex adds some springiness without taking away from the bed’s softness, limiting how much you can sink and preventing spinal misalignment. This material makes the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid one of the rare soft mattresses we recommend for a heavy sleeper.

Once the AS5 Hybrid arrives at your home, you have 100 nights to test it out. A 20-year warranty also backs the bed.

Remember, this Black Friday Amerisleep is offering $500 off all mattresses and 30 percent off adjustable bed bundles.

The makers of the Zoma Start relied on decades of experience and crafted a bed that promotes nightly recovery. It’s marketed toward athletes, and quite a few professionals have enjoyed the Zoma Start’s restorative features. However, anyone can benefit from sleeping on a Zoma Start regardless of how physically active they are.

The bed has a top layer of gel memory foam that molds to your body for support and pressure relief. The gels increase heat dissipation, which prevents you from waking in a sweat during the night.

Underneath the gel foam is a layer of Reactiv™ foam, a material that adapts to your movements. Reactiv™ lifts your body to maintain a neutral spine alignment, ensuring you won’t sink too far into the mattress.

If you prefer a bed with some bounce, you might want to consider the newer Zoma Hybrid mattress. The bed features the same recovery foams that the classic Zoma Start is known for, with a pocketed coil core providing a touch of firmness and a responsive feel. Every Zoma mattress includes a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

Zoma’s Black Friday deals also include discounts on their pillows, mattress foundations, and adjustable frames.

Watch Our Vaya Mattress Video Review

Budget shoppers seeking an excellent product at an affordable price might want to try the Vaya Mattress. The bed’s designers focused on providing the perfect balance of bouncy support and pressure-relieving cushion.

The mattress has a top layer of Vaya Comfort Foam, a light and cool material that provides adequate pressure relief no matter your preferred sleeping position. Vaya Comfort is also quick to snap back into shape, making sure you never feel trapped in bed.

Underneath is the mattress’s support, Vaya Base Foam. This resilient foam can endure years of use without sagging and supports all sleeping styles.

A Vaya Mattress is $699 for a queen size mattress and includes a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

In addition to their all-foam model, Vaya also makes a hybrid mattress. The Vaya Hybrid has the same soft, yet responsive foam comfort layer, with an added top layer of cotton for extra cushion and coolness.

However, the base of this mattress is made with spring coils. The combination of foam and coils offers pressure relief, without uncomfortable sinkage that could force the spine to bow. This model is ideal for back sleepers and heavier sleepers in need of even weight distribution and lumbar support.

Like their all-foam model, the Vaya Hybrid is $300 off during Black Friday 2024 with code VAYA300. This is a great price on an already affordable hybrid mattress.

Shoppers can also save 15 percent off on Vaya Platform Bed this Black Friday, with code BF15.

What the testers say: “I was pleasantly surprised by the Vaya Mattress’s comfort and support, especially considering its budget-friendly price point. The mattress offered a medium firmness that struck soft comfort and necessary support, making it versatile for different sleeping positions.” – Dr. Jordan Burns DC MS, Vaya Mattress Reviewer

If you’re a dedicated side sleeper looking for a plush, cushioned mattress this Black Friday, the Helix Midnight Luxe should be at the top of your list. This luxury hybrid mattress is specifically designed to cradle side sleepers, relieving pressure points while supporting proper spinal alignment.

The key is in the Helix Midnight Luxe’s ultra-plush pillow top cover, made of breathable Tencel fabric or high-tech GlacioTex cooling material. This provides a soft, contouring surface that cushions your shoulders and hips to alleviate strain. Underneath, a layer of Helix dynamic foam gently cradles curves while staying responsive.

Next is a transition layer of responsive foam for additional contouring and cradling of curves.

At the core of the mattress is a zoned coil system made up of hundreds of individually wrapped coils. Strategically placed transition and lumbar support coils keep the spine properly aligned in the side sleeping position by providing firmer support under the hips and lumbar region.

Watch Our Birch Natural Video Review

The Birch Natural exemplifies the perfect marriage of eco-conscious design and premium comfort. This latex hybrid transforms the traditional sleep experience by seamlessly blending earth-friendly materials with advanced sleep technology.

The journey begins with the exterior, where a premium GOTS-certified organic cotton encasement provides a breathable, gentle touch against your skin.

Beneath this lies a revolutionary approach to safety – instead of chemical treatments, the mattress employs organic wool as its natural fire barrier. This same premium wool continues its role in the comfort layer, where its natural properties excel at regulating temperature and maintaining structural integrity night after night.

Moving deeper, you’ll find an expertly engineered pressure relief system featuring eco-INSTITUT certified natural latex, creating the perfect balance of cushioning and support. The mattress’s dynamic core consists of up to 1,000 coils, each individually wrapped to respond to your unique body contours while minimizing partner disturbance.

Enhanced edge support along the sides ensures stability right to the perimeter, while a final layer of FR wool provides additional fire protection and structural integrity.

This thoughtful composition creates a sleep surface that not only prioritizes your comfort but also honors environmental responsibility, making it an ideal choice for the conscientious sleeper.

What the testers say: “Knowing its eco-friendly construction, laying down on the Birch Natural Mattress felt comfortable and reassuring. The mattress had a medium-firm feel, providing excellent support for proper spinal alignment and offering gentle, natural cushioning from organic materials.” – Dr. Jordan Burns, Birch Natural Reviewer

Watch Our Saatva Classic Mattress Video Review

One of the top Black Friday mattress deals to look out for is the Saatva Classic, a luxury innerspring mattress known for its cushy comfort, durable construction, and excellent back support.

What makes the Saatva Classic mattress worth the investment? For starters, its plush 3-inch Euro pillow top provides the feeling of sleeping on a cloud, conforming to your body to relieve pressure points. And with three firmness levels to choose from – Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm – you can find your perfect fit whether you sleep on your side, back, stomach or are part of a couple.

Underneath that pillowy layer lies superb durability, thanks to a dual-coil design made of recycled steel tempered three times for strength. This helps prevent sagging over time so you can enjoy restful sleep for years to come. The Saatva Classic also features patented Lumbar Zone technology, which offers enhanced support in the center third of the mattress to keep your spine aligned.

Breathability is another standout feature. The organic cotton cover naturally wicks away heat and moisture to keep you cool, while the dual-coil system allows ample airflow. And you won’t find any harmful chemicals here – instead, natural thistle is used as a flame retardant.

With so many thoughtful details built into every layer, it’s easy to see why the Saatva Classic is a top choice for luxury and support. Keep an eye out for Black Friday discounts so you can upgrade your sleep experience while also scoring a great deal.

What the testers say: “The Saatva Classic Mattress is great. It provided a distinctly supportive and buoyant feel, characteristic of its high-quality innerspring construction. The mattress offered a choice of firmness levels, and the one I tested had a firm but not overly hard feel, providing excellent support for the spine while still being comfortable.” – Dr. Jordan Burns, Saatva Classic Reviewer

Watch Our Nolah Evolution Video Review

If you’re someone who tends to sleep hot, then a cooling mattress should be at the top of your list as you browse Black Friday deals. One of the best choices when it comes to innovative cooling technology for 2024 is the Nolah Evolution 15.

This luxury hybrid mattress combines the contouring comfort of foam with the responsive support of coils, all while regulating your temperature through advanced cooling technologies.

Nolah’s zoned AirFoam foam pulls heat away from your body as you sleep. Paired with the plush Euro topper and breathable cover made from natural fibers like organic cotton and temperature-regulating ArcticTex, this 15” thick mattress offers a cool and cushy night’s sleep.

The Nolah Evolution also features the company’s HDMax Tri-Zone coils. These individually wrapped coils provide exceptional support and spinal alignment through three targeted zones. The coils around the shoulders offer a softer feel to cradle your upper body, while firmer coils under the back and hips keep your spine properly aligned. This helps relieve pressure and reduce pain, especially for back and side sleepers.

A layer of high-density transition foam reinforces the coils to isolate motion transfer. It’s easy for older individuals who have trouble moving out of bed

When it comes to certifications, the Nolah Evolution checks all the boxes. The foams have achieved CertiPUR-US certification for performance standards and low VOC emissions. The mattress is also OEKO-TEX and GREENGUARD Gold certified to ensure it’s free from harmful chemicals and off-gassing.

As a proudly American company, each Nolah mattress is designed and assembled in the USA.

With discounts of 35 percent off plus a free bedding set that saves you hundreds of dollars, Black Friday makes this premium cooling mattress more attainable than ever. Experience superior pressure relief and temperature regulation with the Nolah Evolution.

Watch Our Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid Video Review

The Aurora Luxe stands out as a premium cooling mattress that combines advanced temperature regulation with exceptional comfort and support. At its core, the mattress features a sophisticated multi-layer construction designed to provide optimal sleep conditions.

This bouncy support of the pocketed coils (providing targeted support and exceptional motion isolation) is complemented by multiple foam layers. Including a responsive CopperFlex layer with immediate response technology and a gel-infused memory foam that adds another dimension of cooling while conforming to body contours.

Still, the cornerstone of its cooling capabilities is the innovative GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover, which actively removes excess heat from the sleep surface using specialized cool tech fibers.

This technology works continuously throughout the night to maintain an ideal temperature balance. It’s never too hot, never too cold.

The cooling properties are enhanced by a cooling-infused comfort foam layer that intelligently manages body heat, absorbing excess warmth when needed and releasing it back when appropriate. Furthermore, the open-cell technology used the foam layers and the airy coil system promotes excellent airflow.

Lastly, the high-density base foam provides a durable foundation that reinforces the coil system while ensuring the mattress maintains its performance characteristics over time.

Available in three comfort levels – soft, medium, and firm – the Aurora Luxe can accommodate different sleeping styles and preferences.

The soft option is ideal for side sleepers seeking pressure relief, while the firm setting better serves back and stomach sleepers requiring additional lumbar support. The medium setting strikes a balance that works well for combination sleepers and couples with different comfort preferences.

For those seeking additional luxury, the optional Cloud Pillow Top upgrade adds a dual layer of contouring foam that works in harmony with the GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover.

What our experts say: “Whenever I test a new mattress, I evaluate how it performs for all sleeping positions – back, side, and stomach. The Aurora Luxe hybrid is offered in three different firmness levels – soft, medium and firm. Mine is the firm model, which I found is better suited for back and stomach sleepers in the average weight range.”

Watch Our Bear Star Hybrid Video Review

The Bear Star Hybrid stands out by combining advanced recovery technology with performance-oriented sleep features. For athletes who generate significant body heat during sleep, especially after intense workouts, the mattress’s cooling system is particularly beneficial.

The HydroCool® technology in the hand-quilted cover actively wicks away moisture, a crucial feature for athletes who may sweat during the night. This tech is complemented by a layer of gel foam that provides additional temperature regulation, ensuring that body temperature doesn’t interfere with the critical recovery phase of sleep.

The mattress’s hybrid construction offers an ideal balance of support and comfort that athletes need. The individually encased coils provide targeted support for proper spinal alignment, which is essential for athletes who need to maintain good posture and prevent injury.

Additionally, the edge-to-edge support system is beneficial for athletes who may use the bed’s edge for pre-workout stretching or post-workout recovery exercises.

The comfort foam adapts to different sleeping positions, offering pressure relief for sore muscles and joints. A particularly important feature after intense training sessions or competitions. With its focus on recovery technology, temperature regulation, and strategic support, the Bear Star Hybrid represents an investment in athletic performance that extends beyond just sleep quality.

Furthermore, the mattress’s GREENGUARD Gold certification ensures athletes aren’t exposed to harmful chemicals that could impact their performance, while its CertiPUR-US certified foams provide peace of mind for health-conscious athletes who carefully monitor what their bodies are exposed to.

What our experts say: “As I evaluated the Bear Star Hybrid layer-by-layer, it quickly became apparent that premium, high-performance materials comprise each thoughtful component of this mattress. By artfully combining advanced specialty foams, durable yet responsive support coils, and ingenious cover technologies, Bear delivers lasting comfort night after night.”

When it comes to upgrading your bed during Black Friday sales, why settle for half-measures? Bundles with an adjustable bed and a new mattress can significantly boost your comfort, making it easy to fall asleep in a position of your choosing. The GhostBed Split King Adjustable Bed Set is one such bundle, giving partners the freedom to tailor their half of the bed.

The adjustable bed offers five preset positions, a button that lets you save a favorite position, built-in massagers, underbed lighting and a flashlight in the remote, and a child lock. One of four GhostBed mattresses can be bundled with the base.

The mattresses come with a 101-night sleep trial and a 20 or 25-year warranty, depending on the model. The base is a final sale item, but it comes with the guarantee of a lifetime warranty. The bundle also ships free.

How Do I Choose the Right Mattress for Me?

Perhaps the most important consideration for picking a comfortable mattress is your sleeping position, closely followed by your body weight. These two factors will affect how a new mattress feels to you and determine how much support your bed must provide and what firmness level will feel most comfy.

Mattress Firmness

A mattress for a side sleeper should fall in the soft to medium firmness range for maximum pressure relief. Too firm, and the mattress can leave a side sleeper with stiff shoulders and sore hips.

A mattress for a back sleeper should have a medium-firm to firm feel. A firmer mattress limits any sinkage that could cause the spine to slip into an unhealthy curve.

A firm mattress is best for a stomach sleeper. Softer mattresses can fail to keep the spine in neutral alignment, causing chronic back pain.

Do you switch between these positions? A mattress for combination sleepers should feature a buoyant medium feel to accommodate all styles with relative comfort.

If you weigh under 130 pounds, you might need a soft mattress to conform to your body. A petite person presses down less on a mattress, so the added cushion helps the bed mold to you for pressure relief.

If you weigh more than 230 pounds, you will probably be better off choosing a firmer mattress. Firm mattresses can withstand more weight than a softer mattress, limiting sinkage that could cause spinal misalignment. Added support features can also ensure a mattress for heavy sleepers withstands wear and tear.

Mattress Type

Another significant factor that influences a mattress’s comfort is the type of mattress it is. Every mattress material has its pros and cons, and what feels most comfortable is largely a matter of personal taste. There are four main types of mattresses to consider⁠—memory foam, latex, hybrid, and innerspring mattresses.

• Memory foam mattresses are popular options for people who want to upgrade their comfort without overspending.
• Latex mattresses are a natural alternative to memory foam mattresses. Because they rely on more eco-friendly materials, they tend to be significantly more expensive.
• Hybrid mattresses mix elements of foam mattresses with spring bases. This offers more responsiveness than a standard foam bed.
• Innerspring mattresses are a traditional mainstay, with springs sandwiched between comfort materials.

Two uncommon types of mattresses that still have their fans and uses are air mattresses are waterbeds:

• Air mattresses with a simple design are largely used as temporary beds for guests or for people trvaeling. More luxurious airbeds have multiple support chambers and smart technology.
• Waterbeds are mostly considered a novelty item, and many find them inconvenient to fill up and deflate. However, they can establish a more weightless feel than what a memory foam or hybrid can provide.

Should I Shop the Best Early Black Friday Deals?

While Black Friday traditionally happens in late November or early December, it’s not uncommon for early Black Friday sales to show up as soon as late October. Mattress brands and retailers may try to further spark interest by advertising it as a pre-Black Friday flash sale that will end soon or bundling in free gifts like mattress protectors or two free pillows.

These early Black Friday mattress deals may leave you asking yourself if you should take advantage of them or wait for something potentially better closer to the date to save on a mattress purchase.

While occasionally, an early fall sale will be better than regular Black Friday mattress deals, often these early Black Friday mattress sales are comparable to or lesser than the deals offered on Black Friday. You can usually expect the best Black Friday mattress sales to happen closer to the day, when the competition between sellers for shoppers’ attention is heating up.

However, if you are looking to replace an old mattress, it’s smart to jump on an early Black Friday mattress sale to save yourself a month or so of uncomfortable sleep. You shouldn’t put off the need to buy a mattress any longer than you have to if it means the difference between a good and bad night of sleep. The best early Black Friday mattress sales can still save you quite a bit of money.

Should I Wait For the Best Cyber Monday Mattress Deals?

It’s not uncommon for shoppers to wait a few days to browse Cyber Monday mattress sales instead of jumping on Black Friday mattress deals. Some items, such as electronics and home appliances, may even have a better price if you wait for Cyber Monday.

However, we suggest you get a head start on Black Friday deals and save the Cyber Monday sales for anything you may have forgotten about during the Black Friday rush. When you fail to jump on Black Friday deals, you might find what you want online is sold out come Monday.

If you want to avoid long lines and pushy salespeople in crowded stores, you’ll find plenty of online mattress companies offering excellent Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday mattress sales.

Many mattress companies also offer promos such as free pillows or bedding accessories that are discontinued when they reach a specific limit. If you’re not one of the first customers, you’ll miss the chance to take advantage of these deals offered by top mattress retailers.

Other Mattress Sales of the Year

Should you miss out on Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, others to keep an eye out for include:

• MLK Day Mattress Sales
• Presidents Day Mattress Sales
• Sleep Awareness Week Mattress Sales
• Memorial Day Mattress Sales
• 4th of July Mattress Sales
• Labor Day Mattress Sales
• Columbus Day Mattress Sales

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best mattress to buy on a budget?

If you’re shopping on a restricted budget, our top recommendation would have to be the Vaya Mattress. It has a simple design to provide pure comfort at an affordable price.

The original Zoma Mattress is also a good choice if you have limited funds. This inexpensive memory foam mattress focuses on promoting a restorative night of rest so you reach your full potential every day.

Are deals really better on Black Friday?

Traditionally, Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, if not the biggest. If you need a new, high-quality mattress, you might want to take advantage of Black Friday deals. The next big mattress sales usually aren’t until New Years Day or Presidents Day.

You can judge the value of a Black Friday mattress deal by comparing the sales price to similar mattresses and their prices. Try to ignore how large a percentage the company takes off the original retail price, as this figure can be inflated to seem like a better deal.

Does Black Friday last all weekend?

Yes, many stores and online retailers have their Black Friday sales extending to the following Saturday and Sunday. It’s also common for Black Friday deals to start before the actual date, in the lead-up to Thanksgiving. After the weekend, retailers should continue to offer sale prices with their Cyber Monday deals.

Do mattress stores have Black Friday sales?

Yes, most mattress stores will offer deep discounts on their products, along with a few doorbusters and other deals. However, we recommend you take a look at online mattress prices before you commit to purchasing a bed from your local retailer. Often, online stores offer better discounts on their mattresses because they have fewer overhead costs to meet.

What is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Black Friday is directly after Thanksgiving, while Cyber Monday falls on the first Monday afterward. As the name implies, Cyber Monday deals are usually offered solely online, while you can find great Black Friday deals online and at your local stores.

If you see a good Black Friday deal, you might want to jump on it instead of waiting for a potentially better Cyber Monday deal. It’s not uncommon for a product to sell out during Black Friday.

Ready to Start Shopping?

There are plenty of mattress deals offered this Black Friday, and we’ve listed some of the best brands to help you get started. No matter what mattress you end up choosing, we highly recommend picking one with a sleep trial. That way, if the mattress isn’t to your liking, you’re free to return it for a full refund.
