Presidents' Day is a good time to find a lower-priced mattress. We have tested dozens of mattresses and have a few good options for all sleeping positions and preferences. We like to find deals on mattresses.

Mattresses are one of those products that appear to be discounted when you visit their websites, but deals events like this actually have prices that are a bit lower. The prices are for queen-sized mattresses.

What kind of mattress do you need?

If you want a hybrid or an all-foam mattress, you need to make a decision before you shop. We like hybrid. They combine springs and foam. The hybrid mattress stays cooler throughout the night.

All-foam is what you would expect. They are made up of many layers of foam. If you have ever tried a cheap bed in a box, you probably have slept on it.

Our top mattresses.

Comes with two pillows.

Even though hundreds are stripped from its price, the Helix Midnight Luxe still holds our top spot. Jeffrey Van Camp fell asleep just lying on the floor despite the room being loud and bright. It is medium-firm for most sleeping positions and has a plush cushion top. A number of staff members and readers have purchased this mattress.

This is a good option if you don't want to spend a lot on a new mattress. It would make a great guest-room mattress or one for kids. The Allswell shows that you don't have to spend a lot of money to sleep well. It has better edge support than a lot of foam models thanks to its tubing around the perimeter.

The Luxe version of the mattress has three more layers of foam over the standard hybrid, making it a bit comfier. The Luxe is discounted to $540

The Allswell Supreme is more expensive than other offerings, but it is still cheaper than $2,000 mattresses. It has a plush top layer and a firm foam layer that is infused with copper and graphite. It's great for pregnant people who have a hard time getting comfortable during a third trimester.

The mattress deals are sustainable.

The mattress is made of organic latex, wool, and cotton. Avocado is a certified B Corporation, so it purchases enough offsets to be a carbon-negative business. The mattress is comfortable. Scott Gilbertson said that this is the only mattress that he and his wife agree on. It is not too soft or firm.

If you need a twin size for a child, we recommend the more affordable Kiwi mattress. It is a combination of certified organic cotton, wool, and latex. Gilbertson says his kids love it. There is an option to get a two-sided version for $125 more.

Comes with two pillows.

Our favorite mattress is the eco-friendly one from Helix. It is made of natural latex and wool. It has a nice bounce to it without feeling squishy. If you are a hot sleeper, it is not as absorbent as some other options.

Comes with two pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protectors.

The Awara is made from latex and organic wool, which is more supportive than the Birch Natural. The price has gone up since we tested it.

Choose hybrid foam and springs.

For a reason, Casper is a popular brand. The hybrid is a good balance between soft and firm, it has just enough bounce. This is a good choice if you don't know which mattress to get. The cheapest price we have seen recently was $1,116 on Black Friday.

The Leesa was one of Van Camp's favorites. It was not as nice as the Helix, but it still hugged his body to sleep. It has an airy foam to keep you cool.

Brooklyn Bedding has a mattress that is super-firm. It is very firm, so much so that we might go with the medium one next time.

Not sure if you need a firm or soft mattress. Do you think it changes throughout the month? You can either try to figure it out or flip it whenever you need it, because this one has a medium-firm side and medium-soft side. We prefer a hybrid, but this one was comfortable to sleep on.

The top three inches of foam on this mattress are very soft. It is still supportive despite that. A layer of green ceramic gel foam keeps it nice and cool.

Comes with two pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protectors.

You might like this mattress if you sleep on your side. The four layers of foam hug you while you sleep. The company offers a lifetime warranty.

It is hard to imagine spending that much on a cover for your mattress, but if you love your mattress and feel too hot or cold, it may be worth it. You can track your sleep and it can heat or cool your bed. You will need to account for the backpack-sized device that sits next to your bed.
