The New York Times - When is it time for a new mattress?

How do you know if it’s time to replace your mattress? If you’re not getting a good night’s sleep, if you’re waking with aches and pains, or if you’re just not comfortable in bed, you may be due for an upgrade. 

We’ve spent hundreds of hours interviewing experts, trying mattresses at our testing site, and sleeping on them in our own homes. Our ultimate guide to mattresses is a helpful roadmap to our extensive coverage. And it’s a good day to peruse it; Memorial Day is a great time to get a mattress at a discounted price.

Here are a few of our favorite mattresses on sale today:  

• A foam-forward mattress with a bit of bounce: With its balance of cuddly, durable foam and just-springy-enough coils, the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress has consistently pleased our testers since 2018. We think it provides good support for back- and stomach-sleepers, as well as adequate pressure relief for side-sleepers who prefer a firmer mattress. Get queen, king, and cal king sizes on sale here with promo code WIRECUTTER.
• A springier hybrid mattress (that still cradles): In our tests, we found that the Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid Mattress’s quilted top loosely supports your body, while more than 3,000 pocketed coils keep you buoyant. One tester said they “felt like royalty” on this mattress. We think this one is a great choice for side- and back-sleepers. Get queen, king, and cal king sizes on sale here with promo code WIRECUTTER.
• A cushy innerspring mattress for tossers and turners: The Saatva Classic has been a pick in our guide to innerspring mattresses since 2019. Testers love its almost down-pillow-like, 3-inch-thick Euro top, and we think it could appeal to sleepers who rotate positions a lot. Get the queen size on sale for $1,250 here.

Considering an upgrade for your guests, too? We’ve found these foam folding mattresses to be significantly more versatile, comfortable, and functional than an air mattress. And they’re surprisingly chic.

“When I cover them with a waterproof mattress protector and sheets, no one can tell they’re tri-folds,” deputy editor Christine Cyr Clisset writes. “They look like a normal bed, which makes our guest space (my office) look far more polished than it would with a blow-up mattress.” They’re on sale right now for 11% off with promo code 11WCMEMDAY.
