It should come as no surprise that Amazon, retail behemoth that it is, has a fantastic range of bedding available—in fact, some of the best mattresses on Amazon come from high-quality brands like Casper, Nectar, and Tuft & Needle. In other words, while you’re perusing early Amazon Prime Day deals on vacuums, furniture, outdoor gear, and wellness products, you can pick up a new mattress for yourself too—how’s that for one-stop shopping? Before you get to scrolling, here’s a quick rundown on what mattress type might suit your sleeping style and give you the best sleep you can get.
Mattresses for Side Sleepers
You should look for a medium-firm mattress that will prevent pressure points from building around your shoulders, hips, and knees (which can lead to back pain). All-foam or hybrid innerspring mattresses will work for you, as long as they provide contouring and support.
Mattresses for Stomach and Back Sleepers
These might be opposite sleep positions, but stomach sleepers can benefit from the same type of mattress as back sleepers: A firm bed that won’t let your lower back arch out of alignment. Again, a memory foam mattress can fit the bill as well as a hybrid mattress, but bear in mind that foam mattresses tend to be on the softer side (making uncomfortable sinkage a risk).
Overall you want to find a mattress that provides pressure relief and, most of all, nightlong comfort. And Amazon has plenty of options to choose from. From beloved bed-in-a-box mattress brands to best-selling beds at affordable price points, we’ve highlighted our top Amazon mattress picks here.

In SELF’s Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress Review, our associate director of fitness and food wrote that, for both herself and her side-sleeping partner, the Wave Hybrid alleviated back and neck pain, and provided whole-body support (with no unpleasant sinking). For a slightly different feel, this Casper mattress also comes in an all-foam version.

We’ve previously recommended this cooling mattress for side sleepers thanks to its motion isolation, reinforced edge support, and overall medium-firm feel. But hot sleepers will also appreciate this Tuft & Needle mattress and its layers of open-cell foam, infused with graphite and cool gel.

Our former editor in chief loved the Purple Premier Hybrid mattress, and the brand’s original mattress, with its signature gel grid, is another easy favorite among reviewers.
