2 min readI’ve been covering Black Friday sales for six years, and I can say with confidence that right now is the best time to shop for a mattress. With so many sales to sort through, it can be hard to tell which deals offer real markdowns and which mattresses are actually worth considering.

“I love the balance of back support from the high-density memory foam in the center, the pocketed coils throughout, and the soft pillow top that conforms to your body while still providing support.” — Nicolas Neubeck, tester
“I slept on my Zinus mattress for five years, and it never sagged. If anything, it became more comfortable with time.” —Katelyn Lunders, tester
“If you’re a side sleeper who is willing to spend a bit more money on a high-quality mattress designed for your exact sleeping position, the Helix Twilight is a great option.” —Marina Liao, Senior Commerce Editor
“As soon as you lie down, your whole body feels supported. When my sciatica flares up, the Nectar doesn't exacerbate the pain....For anyone who wants a super comfortable mattress for less than $1,000 and doesn't have too many sleep restrictions, I recommend a Nectar.”—ML

“As a combination sleeper with sciatica, I have found it very supportive, whether I sleep on my back or side. The firmness isn't one note like my former memory foam mattress thanks to the varied layers and materials. Each section of the Saatva Rx is catered to support a different part of your body, resulting in the feeling of being cradled, which I love.” —KL
“DreamCloud’s mattresses are marketed as plush but supportive, and I would say this rings true for the Premier Rest....The mattress really molds and forms to my body, so I didn’t mind that the bed wasn't as hard as a rock.” —ML
“Despite my back issues, the medium firmness of the memory foam is a delight....The mattress gives me a slight ‘sinking in’ feeling, but it’s supportive at the same time. The result is a balanced comfort, and whether I fall asleep on my side or back, I wake up with zero back pain.” —Jessica Dukes, shopping editor
“The sink-in memory foam layers and responsive coils create a blend of cushion and bounce—while still relieving pressure on my back and shoulders. The included mattress cover is so soft and breathable.” —Samantha Jones, senior shopping editor
“After having slept on this mattress for half a year now, I can attest that it is more cooling than my old mattress and is supportive and comfortable whether I’m sleeping on my side or back (I am not a stomach sleeper). The mattress feels soft when you’re lying on it, and though you might intuitively think this means you’ll wake up with an achy back, that hasn’t been my experience.” —ML
“It’s the first mattress I've tested that lives up to its promise to cradle me. It's so hard not to fall asleep whenever I slip into bed....As a plus-size sleeper, I always thought soft mattresses weren't an option for me. Despite its soft feel, this mattress is still very supportive.” —Janae McKenzie, associate shopping editor
