I don’t know about you, but during the winter months I find it extremely difficult to force myself out of bed in the morning. I’m so cozy under my cocoon of blankets and comforters that I shudder to think of braving the cold floors and persistent draft of my apartment after waking up. However, although those top layers are certainly important ingredients in my perfect bedscape, the ones that are underneath are even more crucial. It all comes down to my mattress, which keeps me supported all night long.

If your mattress isn’t just right, it can throw off everything else — even the most comfortable mattress topper won’t make that much of a difference. A mattress can work wonders when it comes to relieving back pain, preventing sweating, and more. Granted, when you’re shopping online, it’s hard to know if it’ll actually live up to all of its claims — but that’s what we’re here for! Across our entire team, we’ve tested so many mattresses that we’ve lost count. This Presidents’ Day, you can check out some of our favorites below, which include top brands like Casper, Purple, and more.

The Chill Mattress, Memory Foam, Queen
$1,079$599

It takes a lot for a product to win a spot on our Best List, let alone for it to win the "Best Overall" category, but the Chill Mattress managed to do just that in 2023, thanks to its comfy, medium-firm construction and cooling outer layer. “It’s extremely comfortable, doesn’t move or bounce when your partner gets out of bed/moves around, and is very light/easy to move,” said Marisa, our sales research and consumer insights director. The mattress' combination of Perfect Fit memory foam and fabric-encased coils also provides back and hip support and relieves pressure points. Sweet dreams await.

This Presidents’ Day, Sealy is offering 35% off all mattresses, plus a free sleep bundle.

Perfected by a decade of feedback, this mattress boasts a total of four layers that are designed to keep you from tossing and turning, as well as help you stay cool and asleep all night long. AT's Lifestyle Director, Stephanie, described it as neither too soft nor too firm. In other words, it's both comfortable and supportive. No wonder it's a reader-favorite, too!

Estate Firm Mattress, Queen
$2,399$2,199

If you prefer a firm mattress, you know what a challenge it can be to find one that's also supportive. After trying the Stearns & Foster Estate Mattress, which comes in both firm and soft versions, Commerce Deputy Editor, Alicia, knew she'd found the bed of her dreams. "The Stearns & Foster Estate mattress' memory foam conforms to my shape," she wrote. "My body feels supported, but this firm mattress isn’t so hard that I feel uncomfortable, like with my previous mattress. It also isolates movement. I can still tell when my boyfriend rolls over, but if he shifts his sleeping position, the mattress doesn’t even move." You'll also find its memory foam stays cool throughout the night, which helps prevent discomfort and overheating.

Stearns & Foster’s Presidents’ Day offer allows you to save up to $400 and even earn a $300 Visa gift card.

Saatva Classic Mattress, Queen
$2,139$1,739

Innerspring mattresses might be an old-school style, but when constructed with modern materials, they can provide excellent support and durability. Mark, our director of commerce, has dealt with back pain from years of sleeping on sofa beds, cheap mattresses, and sleeper sofas, but after years with this Saatva mattress, he’s found that it keeps him comfortable and well-rested every time. While the top layer is firm, it’s also plush, cushy, and breathable — in fact, Mark says, it’s “kept me comfortable throughout the brutally hot summer months, whether I’m sleeping on my side, back, or stomach.”

TEMPUR-Cloud Mattress with Hybrid Technology, Queen
$2,199

TEMPUR-Pedic is one of the most sought-after mattress brands around. Our favorite pick? The perfectly balanced TEMPUR-Cloud Mattress with Hybrid Technology. "What I found to be the most surprising about the TEMPUR-Cloud Hybrid is that it’s far more supportive than it seems at first touch," says Commerce Editor Britt's review. "Its innovation lies in its ability to conform to your sleeping shape, no matter which way you turn. So, if you’re like me and prone to changing positions through the night, you won’t wake up due to a lack of comfort. Thanks to its middle TEMPUR Support layer, the mattress stays delightfully firm underneath you and changes those pressure points depending on your position.”

$2,712$1,899

After a history of back problems, former editor Ian decided to give this Bear Elite Hybrid mattress a try. With its hand-quilted cushion cover, three layers of supportive foam, and two layers of coils, this cooling mattress had him sleeping like a baby. "Besides the unparalleled cooling power, my favorite aspect of the Elite Hybrid is that it’s the perfect compromise for me and my girlfriend — but it doesn’t feel like a compromise," he wrote. "I feel like I got the better end of the deal with a firm mattress, while my girlfriend thinks she got the better end of the deal with a soft mattress."

Loom & Leaf Mattress, Queen
$2,999$2,599

Another Saatva find we love? This body-hugging Loom & Leaf memory foam mattress. It's a favorite of contributor Spencer and his wife, who love it for its cushiony, weightless effect that still provides more than enough support. “Both of us have also found ourselves, for some reason, waking up sleeping on our backs rather than on our sides,” he observed. “Whatever the explanation for this change, we’ll take it. Our backs are already thanking us.”

Aurora Luxe Hybrid Mattress, Queen
$2,265$1,586

After one night on the Aurora, however, she slept soundly, and comfortably, and finally woke up without a bead of sweat on her forehead. In addition to its heat-repelling properties, the mattress also conforms to the body to provide excellent pressure-point relief from head to toe.

Helix Kids Mattress, Twin
$749$562

When it comes to kids' mattresses, our favorite one around is the Helix Kids' Mattress. While there's a lot to love about this mattress, its biggest plus is the flippable design — firm on one side for younger kids who need more support, and softer on the other side for older kids who want more comfort. That means your kiddo can literally grow up with this mattress! “My 4-year-old is using the firmer side of the mattress for now, and there have been no complaints,” says our tester Stephanie in her review. “My daughter is also a hot sleeper; she often wakes up soaked in sweat. This mattress seems to keep her relatively cool, which is especially nice on these hot summer nights.”

This Presidents’ Day, Helix is offering 25% off everything!

Lyric Hybrid Mattress, Queen
$1,319$1,055

She notes in her review: "With individually encapsulated coils resting atop a layer of protective, premium base foam, the mattress provides excellent support from the bottom up."

Signature 12-Inch Mattress, Queen
$1,799$1,259

Another brand you can’t go wrong with is Nolah, according to our tester Noella. Its Signature Mattress is its best for pressure relief — and its special foam is designed to cushion side sleepers in particular. “Besides the incredible polyfoam to relieve pressure, the best thing about this mattress is that you’ll feel like a melting marshmallow as you sink into each layer,” Noella says in her review. “And there’s no concern about sweating too much with light or heavy sheets because Nolah took the mattress’ breathability into consideration.”

Avocado Green Mattress
$2,099

If sustainability is one of the qualities you look for in a mattress, allow us to point you toward Avocado Green. Its mattress has an impressive number of certifications proving that it’s one of the best organic options out there — and our Commerce Editor Britt would certainly agree. “Essentially, it’s a well-cushioned mattress that doesn’t try to swallow you up every time you sit down on it, which I LOVED,” she wrote. “The edge support gets five stars from me as well as the back support, motion isolation, and overall comfort. I don’t generally have back issues, but I’ve been in beds that have caused back pain — and the Avocado Green Mattress is pure relief in comparison.”

Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress
$1,499$1,199

Made with memory foam that creates the “perfect hug” around your body, Leesa’s mattress will keep you in alignment and result in a deeper sleep, according to our tester’s experience. Commerce Coordinator Mila appreciates the way the material contours to her body; it has eliminated the back pain that her old mattress would induce. “It's soft, but firm at the same time, so it's the best of both worlds,” she said, adding that the vacuum-sealed bag it arrived in was easy to transport up her stairs. That’s a plus that shouldn't be overlooked!

Score 25% off select Leesa mattresses, which come with two free pillows.

Starling Mattress, Queen
$2,632$2,232

This Best List-winning foam mattress is especially great for side and back sleepers, thanks to its supportive Contour Grid technology. It consists of Energex foam, which is memory foam-like but retains its shape, and you have the ability to flip its top foam layers to instantly change the feel of the mattress. “You don’t totally sink in, which is what I prefer,” Chanel, AT’s director of product design and UX, explained. “It provides just enough support whether I’m on my back, side, or stomach.”

Beautyrest Black Mattress, Series 2 Medium, Queen
$2,699

This mattress won the “Best Overall” title in our Best List last year for a reason. There are plenty of options to get your desired feel and level of support, but commerce SEO writer Haley went with the Series Two with a medium feel, which she loves for its loft and more. “The gel memory foam immediately contoured to my body, while the triple-stranded pocketed technology absorbed any motion transfer,” her review reads. “I could bounce on one side, and the other side wouldn’t budge an inch.”
