Early Prime Day Mattress Deals: up to 40% Off Zinus, Casper, Serta
With hundreds of mattresses marked down for Prime Day, finding the perfect bed can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. To save you the sleepless nights, I’ve spent hours sifting through pages of discounts to find the best deals from reputable mattress brands. The most stellar deals I found include our favorite cheap foam mattress from Zinus, which is on sale for just $188 or the Dreamcloud Classic Hybrid for $649, which beats the pricing from shopping direct.
Take note: While you will find deals on the picks from our buying guide to the best mattresses during Prime Day, it’s also worth checking out other retailers who are launching rival sales in the lead up to the 4th of July. Whether you want to take advantage of Amazon perks like 90-day sleep trials or shop a brand directly, we have you covered.
The best Prime Day mattress deals on Amazon
Why we love this deal: Zinus makes some of the best cheap mattresses around. The all-foam Green Tea Cooling Gel Foam Mattress offers outstanding edge support and motion isolation, and sleeps cool too. It’s medium-design appeals to all sleep types. While it’s available in numerous depths, we recommend going with at least 10 inches, otherwise you lose support.
Why we love this deal: This is Casper’s OG hybrid mattress, now exclusively sold on Amazon. If you were to compare it to its successor, the Dream Hybrid directly from Casper you’re looking at another $300, with a very similar construction. Amazon’s also offering free in-home set up and mattress removal. Compare the Casper line up.
Why we love this deal: The Element foam mattress is an cheaper alternative to some of Casper’s other options that’s only available through Amazon and offers a firm base and excellent edge support. It’s a rare chance to snag a Casper mattress for under $500. It’s made of two layers of foam: a base layer for support and durability and a top layer for pressure relief and breathability. We suggest it for back and stomach sleepers.
Why we love this deal: Budget and cooling don’t typically go hand in hand, but this Zinus hybrid is the cheapest mattress that we recommend, costing under $200 for a queen, now that it’s 30% off. It offers exceptional temperature regulation. Despite indicating a firmness of medium-plush, we suggest it for back and stomach sleepers.
Why we love this deal: DreamCloud’s Classic Hybrid mattress has the same essential makeup as the Premier our testers liked, only lacking the additional foam support and a euro-top. Purchasing through Amazon will save you $50 than buying direct, plus you still get the year-long trial and lifetime warranty.
Why we love this deal: On our radar for testing, Serta’s affordable bed-in-a-box innerspring offering is available in several different firmness (plush, medium, firm) and depths (8 to 16 inches) and features zoned support, a rarity in the budget mattress category. Very few budget mattresses also see price cuts as deep as this too, making this pricing especially noteworthy.
Why we love this deal: Several Beautyrest Silver mattresses are 15% off for Prime Day, which only are marked down occasionally. This classic option features an antimicrobial cooling cover and gel lumbar support over 900 individually wrapped coils. It’s several hundred dollars less on Amazon than what we’ve seen from other retailers, and you can add on free in-home set up.
Why we love this deal: This 14-inch memory foam mattress combines phase change material foam with gel-infused memory foam for layered cooling comfort and five-zone support for pressure relief where you need it most. The medium firmness should appeal to most sleep positions, making it ideal for couples with different sleep preferences. We haven’t tested it yet, but 81% of all Amazon reviews are 5-stars, which is a very high approval rating.
Why we love this deal: The Amazon-exclusive Kin by Tuft & Needle mattress features 10 inches of adaptive foam technology to help you sleep cooler and offers a balanced support between soft and firm. It’s backed by a 10-year warranty with a 100-night trial.

Prime Day mattress deals FAQs
What are the best mattresses?
The top pick in our best mattress guide is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, an excellent medium-firm bed that’s currently 25% off on Leesa’s site.
Is Prime Day a good time to buy a new mattress?
A mattress is a pricey investment, so we recommend buying one during a sale like Prime Day. Though, if you wait through the end of the month you’ll be ok, as mattress sales will spill over into July 4th.
Why buy a mattress from Amazon?
There are some perks to buying a mattress from Amazon. Your purchase is backed by sleep trials of at least 90 days and come with free shipping. Some models offer scheduled delivery options and in home set up and removal of your old mattress for $80. I’ve even noticed offers for free in home delivery on certain beds.
Can I use my HSA/FSA funds to buy a mattress?
People with a qualifying medical condition — like sleep apnea, chronic pain, or mental illness — are able to use pre-taxed dollars from their HSA/FSA funds to buy a mattress, meaning extra savings for you. Using these funds requires a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a doctor, but brands like Sleep Number and Purple partner with organizations like TrueMed and Sika to make the process easier. Read our guide to using HSA/FSA funds to buy a mattress for more information.
