This Saatva Classic mattress (with more than 3,000 5-star reviews) features a remarkable layered design, combining the support of innersprings with the plush comfort of memory foam to provide a more comfortable sleep. But does it really live up to the hype? PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey wasn't disappointed. In fact, in her PureWow100 review, she said it helped her get to sleep faster and wake up so refreshed each day. Better yet, it's topped with a layer of breathable organic cotton and coated in a botanical, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold and bacterial growth (meaning you can look forward to a good night's sleep for years to come). So, if you ask me, there's no question whether you should take advantage of the PureWow reader exclusive discount, especially if you want to sleep like a queen.

Sealy put cooling mattresses (which help regulate your temperature as you fall asleep) on the map. But the brand's other features, like fabric-encased coils, pillow-top comfort and added edge support, are what really sets it apart. No wonder Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera adores this Chill hybrid mattress. Springy coils offer up some bounce, while a memory foam layer contours to the body for a dreamy night's sleep. "I've also noticed my lower back pain has definitely lessened since I made the switch, which honestly, makes it worth it entirely," she shared in her PureWow100. And, of course, the mattress is designed to keep you cool and comfortable—not least of all due to its ventilated airflow coils and heat-dissipating cover. So, as LaBarbera says, "If you're looking for a hybrid mattress with cooling technology at a price point that won’t make you short circuit, this could definitely be the match for you—so add to cart while the deal is still live."

Boasting more than 12,000 glowing reviews (seriously), this "lux" hybrid bed is one of the most coveted on the market, and I'll tell you why. For starters, it features not one but *six* luxurious layers of premium memory foam with a base of contouring coils that should adapt to your form. Secondly, the brand is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), which means it has been reviewed by a board of doctors to ensure it's up to the highest standards in terms of support for your spine and back. While that’s one stamp of approval you can definitely trust, you might also want to consider what this shopper has to say: "It is literally like sleeping on a cloud! It is by far the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on." I told you it's better than good, so you know what to do—use coupon code LABORDAY to score up to $1,350 off at checkout.

Prefer an all-foam mattress? Nectar’s bed-in-a-box models feature multiple layers of foam for the perfect balance of support, pressure relief *and* softness. Needless to say, whether you're a side sleeper, back sleeper or stomach sleeper, there's a high chance you'll find the comfort you need in this bed’s sweet spot. And as if it couldn't get any better than that, the mattress has a dynamic response memory foam layer that provides responsive back support to promote better spinal alignment. However, if you're a hot sleeper, you'll be won over by the fact that the bed "ensures body heat gets distributed evenly throughout, which is a total game-changer," as one PureWow editor shares in her full review of the Nectar mattress. Now that it's on sale starting at less than $350, how can you resist this dream bed?

In addition to more than 15,000 5-star reviews, this buzzy organic mattress earned a whopping 95 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review from one editor, who claimed it totally banished her hip pain as a side-sleeper. "The medium-firm cush of the Avocado Green with a pillow top offered a just-right level of support for my aching sides," she wrote in her review of it. But just so you know, the eco-friendly bed is constructed with organic latex, organic wool and organic cotton, and features a five-zone coil system to help distribute weight more evenly (and thus take pressure off your pain points). As for the bed's motion-transfer-minimizing coil design? Let's just say buyers can't stop talking about how they no longer get woken up by their partner's late night run to the bathroom. So, it's safe to say this mattress checks all the boxes.

Got back pain? Have you considered a bed-in-a-box? Just hear me out: This ACA-approved model is actually the upgraded version of the Casper Wave mattress that one former PureWow editor swore by for relieving her back aches. While the Wave has been discontinued, I have a feeling you'll be just as—if not more—impressed with this newer model that features hybrid layers of foam and flex coils meant to reduce motion transfer and provide prime comfort to your hips, waist and, of course, your lower back. But here's why one reviewer doesn't regret buying it: "I have been sleeping on the Dream Max for around a week and have not woken up once in the middle of the night to roll over. The mattress conforms to every curve of my body, making it incredibly comfortable. The firmness is perfect, too; it is not too firm but not soft. Unboxing it was relatively easy, and it inflated quickly." In other words, it's totally worth the splurge, although you can't put a price on a good night's sleep, right?

If you like the idea of a supportive memory foam mattress with cooling technology and an adjustable base, you should know Tempur-Pedic offers personalized pressure relief with all its memory foam mattresses, meaning they should conform to your body and keep you comfortable all night long. Spring for an adjustable power base (also on sale RN), and you can take it to an entirely new level with *tons* of elevated head and foot positions. This will especially come in handy to help relieve nighttime annoyances, such as acid reflux (IYKYK).

To cut to the chase: This pick turned Dara Katz, PureWow's Executive Editor, and her partner into full-on bed-in-a-box believers. It consists of five layers, including a 1-inch Micro Diamond memory foam layer infused with diamond particles which are designed to move heat away from you while you sleep. Then there's a 1-inch transition layer infused with nanocoils, which provide personalized support "while firmer springs along the outside provide excellent edge support," per the brand. As one buyer says, "[It's] worth it. All night and day comfort. Almost no break-in period. I would say it took almost two weeks to feel heavenly and keeps getting better." Oh, you already got your card out? Same. I don't want to miss this deal!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Labor Day a Good Time to Buy a Mattress?

Like Memorial Day and Black Friday, Labor Day is an excellent time to buy a mattress. Not just because you're bound to find a really good deal on top-rated beds (not limited to the Puffy Lux Mattress, which is on sale for up to $1,350 off!) but also because fall and winter are right around the corner— since you'll likely be spending more time cozying up in bed, you'll want to make sure it's a good one.
