Prime Day mattress deals are a great opportunity to trade in your old bed for the best mattress you can afford. There is a small catch, however. Amazon isn’t always the best retailer when it comes to mattress sales.
Mattress manufacturers like Nectar, Purple, and Tempur-Pedic tend to undercut even the best Prime Day mattress deals that Amazon offers. For instance, you can get the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress from $399 at Nectar (opens in new tab). Plus, Nectar is offering a free $499 sleep bundle (opens in new tab) (two pillows, sheet set, mattress protector) with your mattress purchase. Amazon offers the same price (opens in new tab), but you don’t get the free bedding bundle, which makes Nectar’s offer that much better. (It also helps that Nectar makes our favorite bed).
That’s not to say Prime Day is a bad time to buy a new bed. In fact, you’ll find plenty of discounts today, just keep in mind some of the best sales won’t come from Amazon. That said, here are the best Prime Day mattress deals available on day two of Amazon’s sales event.
Editor’s choice: Nectar mattress
The best mattress deal on Prime Day: The Nectar Memory Foam mattress is one of the best mid-range mattresses you can buy, providing luxury comfort and support for a lot less than its rivals — we loved sleeping on it. You’ll find the same deal at Amazon this Prime Day, but we recommend getting the offer directly from Nectar instead: it’s easier to activate the huge 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty.

UK deal: Get 45% off any mattress at Nectar (opens in new tab)
Instead, the best Prime Day mattress deals right now are available direct from the mattress manufacturers. Nectar, Saatva, Purple, and Avocado are just a handful of mattress manufacturers that have beaten Amazon prices in the past and are doing so again right now. In addition to better prices, the major brands also make it easier to return mattresses and provide better support and warranties than what Amazon can offer.
So what should you buy from Amazon? Generally speaking, Amazon is a good retailer for deals on no-frills mattresses. Amazon offers great Prime Day mattress deals from brands such as Lucis and Zinus. Likewise, the e-comm giant is great at offering discounts on off-brand bedding, including deals on its own Amazon Basics line of bedding.
To help you navigate this week’s best deals, we’re rounding up all of the best mattress discounts in one easy-to-browse shopping guide. Whether you’re shopping for a new mattress or browsing for the perfect weighted blanket, we’ve got all of the best deals in one place.

Finding the best Prime Day mattress deals
There are various great mattress deals happening over Prime Day. However, it’s important to remember our top shopping tips as you browse through each day’s sales:
- Take advantage of coupons: Coupons can help you save big on mattress purchases. For instance, DreamCloud coupons and Nectar promo codes can shave hundreds off your bed or bedding purchase. Likewise, Tempur Pedic promo codes can help you save on our favorite temperature regulating mattresses. Many mattress manufacturers accept coupons during the checkout process, which is another reason why you’ll find better prices direct from manufacturers rather than via Amazon. (While Amazon does accept coupons, many mattress coupons will only work on the manufacturer’s site).
- Never pay full price: Labor Day, Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Memorial Day, and July 4th are generally the best time of the year for mattress deals. (If we had to pick one holiday — Black Friday/Cyber Monday would be the one we recommend). However, even if you’re nowhere near a major holiday, most mattress companies offer mattress deals year-round. So you should never pay full price for any mattress.
- Know your return policy: Buying a new mattress — especially these days — can be tricky. Perhaps you’re relying on user reviews or word of mouth. Or maybe you’ve already tried the mattress and have finally found the right mattress deal. Either way, you should always know the mattress’ return policy should you have to return it. Some companies offer 100-night trials with free return shipping and no penalty fees , whereas others offer 18-months trials with similar shipping policies.
