If you need a new mattress, any sales event is a good time to look for one. Most mattresses are marketed with “discounts” most of the year, but Amazon Prime Day mattress deals are usually significantly better than the discounts on an average Tuesday. We track prices to highlight when a deal is actually a deal. This Amazon Prime Day—technically called Prime Big Deal Days—offers some solid prices, whether you’re buying a bed from Amazon or not. There are also some deals on sheets and other sleep accessories. The prices below are for queen sizes.

Helix Midnight Luxe Hybrid Mattress

Enter code FALL20 at checkout to get this deal, which includes two pillows. We’ve seen this mattress get even cheaper, but this is a typical sale price. The Midnight Luxe is our favorite mattress, with six layers of foam and individually wrapped inner springs. It’s medium-firm and comfortable for almost all sleeping positions. There are other firmness levels within the Luxe collection that we haven’t tested yet.

Enter code FALL20 at checkout to get this deal. It also includes two pillows. We’ve been fans of the above Helix for years, but this one is a new addition to our guide. It dropped to $2,577 during Prime Day in July. As with the Luxe, the Elite collection includes six mattresses, so you can choose your perfect firmness. WIRED reviews editor Martin Cizmar slept on the soft Sunset model. These are a thick 16 inches, and they come in two heavy boxes. One box holds the bottom layer, and the other determines the softness level. They zip into a larger support system to form one, hopefully perfect, bed.

Tuft and Needle Mint Mattress

We’ve seen this mattress for less, dropping to $1,117 during the summer’s Prime Day sale. Still, if you need pressure relief, this one delivers. The foam top layer offers support while still being super soft, so you can sink in a little bit without getting stuck.

While $999 isn’t an uncommon price for this mattress on our best organic mattress list, it has been known to reach full price. It’s made from latex foam, organic wool, and individually wrapped springs. It’s more affordable than our other organic options, and while it is supportive and bouncy, it’s not quite as comfy as some. You may feel the springs a bit more than you’re used to. But it’s not too hot or too cold, and we didn’t feel much motion transfer.

My Green Mattress Kiwi Organic Hybrid Mattress

Enter code DISCOVER at checkout to see this discount.  We have seen this get even lower in the past, but the base price has risen since then, and this price is lower than in recent sales. This isn’t our top organic mattress pick, but we like the twin size for kids. It’s made from certified organic cotton, wool, and latex.

Enter code DISCOVER at checkout to apply this discount. If you aren’t ready for a whole new mattress, spruce up your existing one with a mattress topper. This organic latex choice from My Green Mattress is our favorite firm topper—it’s 2 inches high, has a zipper if you need to remove the organic cotton cover from the pad, and stays in place without needing any straps.

Saatva Zenhaven Natural Latex Mattress

The retail price is technically a whopping $3,295, but it’s been steady at $2,945 since we started tracking it. This is one of our favorites, and we think it will last for years, thanks to its quality construction—it’s extremely heavy, though, so be prepared. It’s made from organic latex protected by an organic wool liner and an organic cotton cover. If you aren’t sure whether you want a soft or firm bed, this one is double-sided so you can figure it out once you get it or switch as needed. It has great edge support and sleeps neither hot nor cool.

Brooklinen Washed Linen Core Sheet Set

Linen sheets are divisive—people tend to love them or hate them. I thought I would be in the latter camp up until the moment I fell asleep on these. They might feel itchy at first, but they get softer with every wash and I don’t sweat even a drop during hot Texas summers. These were cheaper during Labor Day, at $191 for a queen set, so if you can wait you may find them for less.

We like several Brooklinen sheets, and this is our favorite organic set. They’re soft but not overly silky, and you won’t sleep too hot in them. They are made from Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified organic cotton and are Oeko-Tex certified, which means they’re tested for and do not contain any known toxic chemicals. Like the linen set above, we saw the organic cotton sheets dip lower to $183 during Labor Day’s sale.

We already love Bedsure’s bamboo rayon sheets for how affordable they are. These sheets are consistently available for $60, so snagging them for a little cheaper is even better. They’re silky and cool, especially for the price point.

The Company Store Legends Hotel Velvet Flannel Sheet Set

Enter code FRIENDS23 at checkout to get this discount on our favorite flannel sheets. This matches the price we saw during the Labor Day sale on our favorite flannel sheets, and if you like the two colors currently marked as final sale, you can save even more (though stock on those is more limited).

Buffy’s sheets are made from Tencel Lyocell, which comes from sustainable wood sources, in this case, eucalyptus. My husband and I agree that these are light and airy but still feel warm and cozy—not so much that you wake up sweaty, but enough to feel properly snuggled. On my 13-inch mattress, though, they tend to ride up during the night and need to be readjusted. The brand’s Wiggle Pillow, which is basically a supersized body pillow, is also discounted on the Buffy site.

Be sure to enter code GIGANTOR at checkout to get the additional $21 off. Even at their typical price of $90, these are among the cheapest sheets we tried, and they’re the best sateen ones. They’re soft, cool, and silky and almost identically match the feel of Brooklinen’s sateen set.

Weighted Blanket Deals

This price is for the terracotta color only. Brooklinen’s weighted blanket is 12 pounds but feels sufficiently weighty while I snuggle up at night. It has held up well through many trips to the wash. It’s also prettier than some other options, and one side has a nice pattern.

Gravity makes great weighted blankets, including this 15-pound budget version. It’s cheaper than most options out there but doesn’t lack in quality. You can add a cover too (also discounted) if you don’t want to wash the entire thing. If you aren’t sure whether weighted blankets are for you, this is a good way to try them without spending too much.
