A comfortable, restful night’s sleep is important, especially when we’re dealing with the effects of a global pandemic, social distancing, and quarantine during our waking hours. Lucky for you, our reviewers have lounged on, jumped on, and slept on more than 30 of the top memory foam and hybrid (individually wrapped springs + foam) mattresses you can order online to find the best options. You can read all about our testing in WIRED’s Best Mattress You Can Buy in a Box guide.
If you’re ready to hit the sheets on a new bed, Labor Day weekend (and a few days prior) is a particularly good time to snag a discount on a new bed in a box. Almost all of our picks are on sale this year. The discounts aren’t bed-breaking, but they are better than we normally see. All prices here are for queen size mattresses. Smaller and larger sizes are also discounted.
Through Labor Day, you can get one full year of WIRED for $5 ($25 off). Subscriptions also help support the work we do every day.
