The 13 Best Places to Buy a Mattress of 2023

Amazon

View On Amazon

You probably already know all about Amazon’s incredible selection of products—and their mattress selection is no different. It’s one of the best online, offering many of the major brands—some of which you’ll see included on this list as standalone retailers. The retail giant offers everything from basic memory foam mattresses from brands like Casper, Tuft & Needle, and Serta. You can truly find something for every sleeper—side, stomach, and back—and every size room. The mattresses range from standard sizes like twin, queen, and king to more unconventional sizes like twin XL and California king. 

And though the specifics depend on the brand you’re shopping for, most of the mattresses on Amazon come with the same risk-free trials you’d find at standard online retailers. In some cases, you’ll get as many as 100 days to try out your new mattress and decide whether it’s right for you. The reviews are also a big help. Most products have hundreds, if not thousands, of reviews, some complete with photos and pictures to help you make an informed buying decision. 

Because Amazon also has items like bed frames, mattress pads, sheets, pillows, and more, it’s a fantastic one-stop shop for anyone who's outfitting a full bedroom.  Just take note: Because the selection is so vast, if you don't know what you're looking for, it can feel overwhelming and difficult to comb through it all.

Saatva

View On Saatva

Saatva prides itself on being a luxury mattress brand that offers comfort, quality, and service—all at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the only showroom is in New York City, but you’ll have no trouble shopping the brand online. The retailer has a simple quiz on its website to help guide you to the best choices for you. This way, you won’t have to weed through its healthy selection of memory foam, hybrid, and latex mattresses. 

No matter what you settle on, the mattresses are all designed with dedicated lumbar zone support and made in the United States with high-quality materials like organic cotton and CertiPUR-US certified foams. The Saatva Classic, a hybrid mattress, is one of the most popular models for adults, but you’d be remiss to stop your search there. Saatva even has an adjustable mattress with 50 firmness options. The company also carries a wide selection of mattresses for children, including a dual-sided innerspring mattress, so you can get something for everyone in the whole family at once. 

When you make a purchase, you’ll get free premium concierge delivery and setup—they’ll even remove your old mattress for free. You can sleep soundly from night one knowing you have 365 days to try the mattress out. If you’re not happy, Saatva will come pick it up and provide a refund, minus a $99 processing fee.

Purple

View On Amazon View On Mattressfirm.com View On Purple

Purple may not have as many options as some of the other companies on our list of the best places to buy mattresses, but it’s worth a good look anyway. The brand designs all of its mattresses with a special focus on scientific comfort engineering. Each mattress in Purple’s lineup features the company’s signature Purple Grid sleep surface, which adapts to your body to relieve pressure points and provide the perfect amount of support. All of the mattresses—adults and kids—also have responsive support coils and a breathable and stretchy cover, which the brand says enhances the supportive comfort of the Purple Grid. What’s more, all of the mattresses are made in the USA with CertiPUR-US certified foam. 

There are plenty of options for shopping the brand’s offerings. You can shop directly from the website (there is a very helpful chat) or find the brand at a brick-and-mortar store (there are thousands of retailers that carry Purple mattresses across the United States). If you do opt to shop directly through Purple, you’ll get free ground shipping on most mattresses, and each one includes a 100-night home trial. If you’re not happy with your new mattress, you can return it for a refund (minus the original shipping fees).

Amerisleep

View On Amerisleep.com

Memory foam mattresses are extremely popular, and Amerisleep has a fantastic offering for people who crave the coziness this type of mattress provides. Though its most popular option is the medium-firm AS3 mattress, the online retail store has it all, including soft, medium, and firm mattresses for both back and side sleepers. 

But don’t write them off completely if you’re not usually into memory foam. Although traditional memory foam can get too hot for some sleepers, Amerisleep mattresses are made with a proprietary Bio-Pur material to help keep you cool and comfortable while you sleep. How exactly does it work? The eco-friendly, plant-based material is more breathable than petroleum-based memory foam, and it has an open-cell structure for better airflow. What’s more, Amerisleep mattresses come with a soft and breathable cover for even more cooling comfort. 

The retailer’s policies are all as friendly as you’d hope, too—especially since the brand has limited brick-and-mortar locations where you might be able to try out its offerings. All mattress purchases include free shipping and returns. Perhaps even more importantly, you can try your new mattress for a full 100 nights. Not happy? Simply return it for a full refund.

Leesa

View On Leesa

If you’ve done any research on mattresses that come boxed, you’ve probably heard of Leesa. The brand’s mattresses, which are known for being exceptionally comfortable for all types of sleepers, are sold online and in select retail stores nationwide. 

The company offers four styles: The Leesa Original, an all-foam mattress; the Leesa Hybrid, a combination foam and pocket-spring coil mattress; the Leesa Legend, a foam mattress with two layers of pocket springs; and the Leesa Studio, a budget-friendly memory foam option. Although there are only a handful of choices, selecting the right mattress can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Lessa has website guides to help you determine which one is best suited for you. 

No matter which one you land on, the mattresses are compressed and shipped in a box. Once yours arrives, all you have to do is remove it from its air-tight packaging and wait for it to expand. Then, give it a try. You have 100 nights to make your decision. If you aren't satisfied, the company offers free returns in most states.

It’s also worth noting the company’s charitable component: For every 10 mattresses the company sells, it donates one to someone in need.

Overstock

View On Overstock

Overstock is another great place to buy all kinds of home goods, including mattresses, at hard-to-beat prices. Sure, it’s an online-only retailer, but if you can get over not trying your mattress in-store first, you’ll love Overstock’s vast selection. The retailer has seemingly endless options from top brands, including Tempur-Pedic, Serta, and Slumber Solutions. In addition to everyday low prices, the website often has coupons and sales, so you can get an even deeper discount if you shop at the right time. What’s more, Overstock offers free shipping on most of their selection. 

There is one big downside to shopping for a mattress through Overstock: The retailer is known for its strict return policies. You cannot return their mattresses for any reason. Fortunately, all of Overstock's bestselling mattresses are well reviewed to help you make the best choice. Some options come with a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty you can take advantage of, should something go awry.

Mattress Firm

View On Mattressfirm.com

Some people just like to shop in-store—particularly for something as big and important as a mattress. If that sounds like you, Mattress Firm is the place to go. Sure, you can shop their online offerings, but the store is highly regarded nationwide (you can find stores in every state across the country) and equipped with knowledgeable salespeople who can walk you through the process from start to finish. 

If you do decide to shop online, though, Mattress Firm's website has most big-name brands, including Serta, Simmons and more.

And no matter what you choose, you can rest easy knowing that all of their mattresses come with a 120-night sleep trial.

Casper came on the market strong when it first launched in 2014, and its popularity hasn’t subsided, despite some heavy competition.

Sleep Number

View On Sleepnumber.com

Sleep Number is one of the most popular direct-to-consumer mattress companies out there, and it’s primarily known for having great options for couples—especially those with different sleep needs. That’s because Sleep Number mattresses have techy features that allow you to adjust your bed to the precise, perfect softness or firmness each night. Some even have dual zones that allow each person to customize their mattress just so. The only downside to this flexibility is that since the system has more components (including a remote, an air pump, and hoses), there are more potential problem areas. Fortunately, each mattress comes with a 100-night trial and a 15-year limited warranty against defects, so you can feel secure in your purchase. 

Sleep Number offers multiple ways to shop, too—the brand has both an online store and brick-and-mortar locations throughout the country. Just note: However you shop, premium delivery and setup are required with every mattress purchase, and there's a fee for the service.

Avocado Mattress

Avocado is a relative newcomer to the market, but one that’s quickly gaining in popularity.

All of Avocado’s mattresses are nontoxic and organic, and they’re all made with eco-friendly production practices. Avocado is so committed to producing a product that’s better for both the consumer and the globe that it works to offset the carbon emissions from shipping and delivery and is on its way to becoming the first zero-waste certified mattress factory.
