Amazon can be a great place to buy a mattress online. The retail giant has everything from traditional innerspring mattresses to memory foam and hybrid mattresses.
With all the choices on Amazon, finding the best mattress might seem complicated, but we’re here to help—we’ve been testing top-rated mattresses for years. Right now, our favorite hybrid mattress available on Amazon is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid (available at Leesa) , which offers a top-shelf sleep experience. We also love the Tuft & Needle Original (available at Amazon) for its supportive, firm surface.
There are a lot of great mattresses out there, though. If our favorites here aren’t what you’re looking for, a little more research can help you find the right mattress for you. After all, everyone has different sleep needs.
We think everyone will love the Leesa Hybrid, and that it's worth every penny.

Buying a mattress on Amazon can be a great option. There are some things to be aware of, however. Here are some factors to consider.
Regardless of where you purchase your mattress, choosing the right firmness is an essential part to finding the proper comfort and support—and ultimately getting a good night’s rest. Your sleep preferences can help determine what level of plushness is appropriate.
In general, side sleepers will want to look for a softer bed that still supports pressure points, such as hips and shoulders. That softness can come from a pillow top or layers of memory foam.
Stomach sleepers need a more firm bed. When considering foam beds, stomach sleepers will likely want to choose at least a medium softness, but may be happier with a firm foam mattress. Another option would be to choose a hybrid mattress, which has both foam and innersprings.
In general, back sleepers fall in between side sleepers and stomach sleepers. Medium to medium-firm mattresses could be a solid choice. They can balance the pressure relieving comfort of softer mattresses with the support of firmer mattresses.
If temperature regulation is an issue, be aware that foam mattresses have a reputation for trapping heat. Some manufacturers have incorporated cooling measures that would bring relief to hot sleepers.
Amazon can be a great place to find marked down mattresses. That said, make sure to price check, especially against the mattress manufacturer, to make sure you’re really getting a deal on Amazon.
While mattress companies often offer generous sleep trial periods and warranties when beds are purchased directly from them, it’s a little more complicated when buying a mattress on Amazon.
Amazon says you can request a return or refund within 100 days of receiving a mattress ordered from the retailer. To return a mattress, however, it must be unopened and in its original packaging. Once a bed is unboxed and expanded, a full-size mattress is not returnable. It may be eligible for a refund.
Things get even more dicey if you buy a bed from a third party vendor on Amazon, so you should really make sure you know from whom you’re buying a mattress. While Amazon says most third-party sellers offer a returns policy equivalent to its own, some policies may vary.
With warranties, the terms may be different if you buy a mattress directly from a manufacturer or from an authorized dealer than from Amazon or a third-party vendor. Before you make a purchase, you should read the fine print on the manufacturer’s website, especially since the 10-year lifespan of a mattress is a long time to be stuck with something you don’t like.
