Like so many of us, I’m trying to make buying choices that are better for the environment. But when it comes to mattresses that does mean choosing between premium price tags. That’s why this sale from Awara is so impressive. Awara has knocked the eco-conscious queen Natural Hybrid down to just $949, which is incredible for an organic mattress. The deal has been running for a little while, so if you’re a side sleeper with aches and pains, don’t miss out on this bargain.
I talk a lot about how important firmness is when it comes to choosing a mattress. But let’s be honest, even if you spend all day lying on different beds (something even I’m not allowed to do), firmness might not mean very much to you.
Most mattress brands rate firmness on a scale of 1-10 (we do the same here). Below, I’ll try to explain what those ratings mean, so you have a better idea of what you’re getting.
1-4/10 goes from extra soft to medium-soft. Softer mattresses are best for side sleepers with light builds. If you choose to go soft, make sure you have enough support at the hips and shoulders. The Tempur-Cloud is super soft and 30% off.
5-6/10 is medium. Firmness is subjective, so a true medium can be tricky to determine. Medium is typically best for side sleepers. We rate the Helix Midnight a 5.5/10, and it’s 25% off for Black Friday.
7-10/10 runs from medium-firm to extra-firm. Back and stomach sleepers tend to benefit from firmer mattresses, but some side sleepers like the feel. The Awara Hybrid mattress is an 8/10, and you can get $765 off today.
I stayed in a hotel last night and had a fantastic, deep, restful sleep on a luxury hotel bed. And even though my alarm went off incredibly early, I woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed. Apart from one thing – terrible neck cramp.
The mattress was exceptional; the problem was the pillow. It was just not right for me. If you’re shopping our Black Friday mattress deals, consider investing in a new pillow to go with it.up, so you don’t suffer from the same aching shoulders I did. We’ve rounded up the top choices in out best pillows guide, where you can also find some tips on choosing the right pillow.
And while we’re on the subject: don’t forget to pick up a best pillow protector!
I’m talking about the best deals a lot today because, of course, it’s Black Friday. But deals really aren’t everything when it comes to a mattress. It doesn’t matter that the Nectar Memory Foam starts from $659 in the Black Friday sale – if you want a bed with bounce, it won’t be right for you.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that any mattress can be ‘one size fits all’. Some mattress brands try and claim that their mattress really will appeal to everyone, but that’s just not possible. We all have different body types, sleep styles, and needs.

I first heard about Emma Sleep on the international market, where they have become a firm favorite. In the US, Emma is just starting to take off, thanks largely to the super affordable Emma Original. Emma’s currently running a mega Black Friday sale, with up to 56% off.
I tend to refer to mattresses by type: foam, hybrid, and innerspring being the most common. You can infer some basics about a mattress depending on what type it is – if I hear a mattress is a memory foam, for example, I assume it has softer cushioning and better motion isolation. Before you start on your mattress buying journey, let’s take a quick look at each type.
Foam mattresses can be roughly divided into two further categories: memory foam vs latex. Memory foam is one of the most popular mattress materials, known for a contouring ‘hug’ feel. Latex is typically a natural material (although, confusingly, not always). Every one of our best organic mattresses contain latex, and it’s known to be durable and breathable. It’s also expensive – making Black Friday a good time to buy!
Hybrid mattresses contain a combination of foam and coils or springs. They’re highly breathable and tend to have a firmer feel than all-foam mattresses. Hybrid mattresses are often recommend for those with back pain, as they can offer zoned support. Memory foam vs hybrid really comes down to personal preference, as there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
You’re most likely to come across innerspring mattresses in mattresses stores, although some online retailers have them for sale. Innerspring mattresses have a traditional feel, with a high level of bounce and response. They’re the least durable, and can have very short warranties.
So, that’s the basics! You can learn a little more by clicking on the links above.
Ever spent a night in a fancy hotel? Wasn’t it the best night’s sleep you ever had? It’s not just the chance to get away from it all that leaves you feeling refreshed, it’s the premium quality of hotel beds. With the Saatva Classic you can capture that feeling in the comfort of very own bedroom. I love this luxury mattress at full price, so I love it even more with $400 off when you spend $1000.
Selling out isn’t a huge worry when you’re shopping for a mattress on Black Friday, but it is something to keep in mind if you’re ordering a popular mattress in a popular size. That means queen-size bed owners might need to act a little quicker than someone with a Cal king!
I’m keeping an eye on stock levels and so far things seem to be okay. I’ll let you know if I spot any stock issues with any of our favorite sleep brands.
Organic mattresses are always a pricey buy, and while other mattress brands tend to offer evergreen sales, it’s less common among these specialist models. If you’re considering an eco-friendly mattress, Black Friday is the best time to protect your wallet as well as the planet.

So as well as rounding up the best discounts, me and my team of sleep writers will be filling you in on exactly what to look for, how to choose the right mattress for your sleep style, and taking a closer look at the deals to unpack whether they’re as good as they seem.
