Don't put up with a sagging mattress or a nasty box spring one. Almost all the big mattress brands and retailers are running Black Friday sales decent enough to make this weekend a sensible day to upgrade. These are the best Cyber Monday mattress deals that are still live.
Assuming you know the size you need, there’s one key decision to make when looking over our top picks below. Do you want a “bed in a box" style pure foam mattress or one with a layer of pocket springs? Pure foam mattresses are easier to get up to a 5th floor flat, but many of the most comfortable mattresses use a combination of foam and springs.
We're into Black Friday and Cyber Week, so we've uncovered the top discounts. Check out the best Black Friday deals for 2022 here.

The Casper Hybrid aims to be all things to all people, and it might appeal to just that many this Black Friday with a decent chunk of cash off. This mattress offers up its AirScape tech to keep you cool during the night, while its breathability doesn’t mean it neglects support, with three zones targeted to keep your spine well looked after.
Who needs foam? The Hypnos Ortho Gold Deluxe relies more on “natural” fibres instead. There's a cashmere layer, a wool one and a cotton layer. Hynos also uses recycled plastics, in its Solotex and eOlus cushioning. The hand-tufted filling gives this mattress a “classic” feel, while the 3-zone pocket-sprung base provides modern ergonomics.

The memory foam gently contours to your sleeping position while absorbing motion too for individual comfort.
If it’s ever crossed your mind that you’d fancy a more natural mattress solution, whether that’s for allergen-related reasons or otherwise, Otty has a smart option—and it’s been reduced plenty in this Black Friday mattress sale. The combination of bamboo and charcoal for its materials make this great for allergy and asthma sufferers, those with sensitive skin as well as those who like to be kept cool during the night.

During Black Friday, bed-in-a-box mattress brand Emma is offering up to 50 percent off across the site.

The Sealy Nostromo—yes, it is called that and, no, we don’t know if an alien comes with it as an added extra— is a medium-feel mattress made for the sleeper who wants to both comfort and support. That support is supplied by an army of 1,400 pocket springs. It’s also great for those with allergies, with its hypoallergenic materials getting an endorsement from Allergy UK.
This is a “box top” mattress, where the upper cushioning is stitched into its own section. It looks a bit like a mattress on top of another mattress, but the two are joined up, not separate. In the base sits up to 2000 pocket springs, while the thicker-than average top section lends this bed a softer feel, without the slow-spring character of pure memory foam. This double-size mattress costs a whopping £909 direct from Silentnight at the time of writing. Much less on Amazon.
