Rest Easy: I Found the 5 Best Mattresses on Sale During October Way Day—and They're All Less Than $500

This 12-inch mattress would be Goldilocks's dream come true. Just hear me out: According to buyers, it's not too firm and not too soft, so the combination of foam and innerspring feels just right. Not to mention, the top layer of gel memory foam is designed to pull heat away from your body so you don’t overheat as you sleep. (Uh, take note, hot sleepers!) Plus, it’s compatible with adjustable bed bases. But here's why one reviewer considers this bed a must-have: "My back pain is slowly starting to dissipate after sleeping on this mattress and I wake up feeling energized." I told you, it's your dream bed.

Take a quick scroll through the more than 6,000 reviews on this 12-inch-thick memory foam masterpiece, and you’ll soon see why it has such a massive fan club. Sealy says the mattress molds to the shape of your body, distributing weight evenly for a customized and soothing feel that also assists with pain relief. And the top layer is infused with breathable ultra-cooling gel, which purports to keep you feeling nice and breezy throughout the night. And as if it couldn't get any better than that, you can look forward to a ten-year limited warranty, all for a fraction of its $1,099 retail price.

You know how some beds leave you waking up with a backache? This one is specifically designed to prevent that, thanks to its layers of memory foam that help evenly distribute your weight. Meanwhile, its layer of cooling gel is meant to regulate your body temperature to keep you comfortable (and sweat-free) all night long. Providing built-in support at its base layers, this top-rated bed-in-a-box also promises cool, restful sleeps, and more refreshed mornings. And did I mention that once unboxed, it fully decompresses within 48 to 72 hours, per the brand?

If you want a soft bed with low-motion transfer (so you and your partner can stop waking each other up at night when you go for that glass of water in the kitchen), look no further than this pick. Beyond being designed to absorb motion, the brand says it provides targeted support and pressure relief for a comfortable sleep every night. But you don't have to just take my word for it—more than 800 five-star reviews back up these claims.
