The biggest mattress discount of Prime Day’s second day did not come from Amazon. Saatva, the luxury brand, is taking $400 off every size of its Saatva Classic, which drops a queen to $1,829 from $2,229. Tom’s Guide sleep editor Nicola called the Amazon mattress offers themselves “pretty underwhelming” and pointed shoppers to brand-direct sales instead.
She also flagged a catch on the Saatva price. The Classic was $2,139 until a few days earlier, so the list price has crept up. Still, the site called $400 the best deal on the mattress it rates highest of all those it has tested.
Cheap beds at Amazon
The lowest price in the roundup is the Zinus 10-inch Green Tea Memory Foam mattress, at $162 for a queen at Amazon, down from $233.99. Tom’s Guide said it is the cheapest the bed has been this year and suggested it for a guest room or dorm. Buying through Amazon means giving up Zinus’s 100-night trial, though the 10-year warranty stays.
Casper’s Element, an Amazon exclusive, is $474 for a queen, down from $645, the lowest in the past 12 months. Customers give it 4.3 on average across 6,000 reviews. SweetNight’s 14-inch CoolNest queen is $399.49 at Amazon and $469.99 on the brand’s own site, where the list price is $629.99.
Better prices elsewhere
DreamCloud’s Classic queen is $552 on the brand’s site after a further 15 percent off its usual $699 sale price. Amazon’s own Prime Day price on that bed is $649. Nectar’s Classic queen also lands at $552, down from $699, which Tom’s Guide said is the lowest it has tracked in a year. That one comes with a 365-night trial and a lifetime warranty.
Bear’s Elite Hybrid is $1,370.40 for a queen with the code TOMS40, a 40 percent cut. Tom’s Guide recommends it for hot sleepers but warns that couples will notice motion transfer. Siena’s Signature memory foam queen is $294, sold only direct. Linenspa takes 15 percent off automatically, so its 8-inch hybrid in twin XL goes from $159.99 to $136, though the queen and full are sold out.
Shoppers who only want to soften an old bed have options too. Amazon has the Tempur-Adapt + Cooling 3-inch topper at $309 for a queen, down from $499, and the Lucid 3-inch gel memory foam topper at $84.99, down from $99.99.
