We test many, many mattresses—so it’s saying something that the Helix Midnight Luxe has been our favorite overall mattress for seven years running. This specific model is designed for side sleepers, but the brand’s slogan is “designed for every body”—there are plenty of options for every sleeping position. Helix’s Black Friday sale is underway, but you can get additional savings by using our exclusive coupon code WIRED27 for 27 percent off.

Saatva
Saatva mattresses strive to be the intersection of luxury, natural materials, and support for many sleepers. One model in particular that we’ve tested, the Saatva Rx, offers serious pressure relief for even the most persistent aches and pains. It incorporates micro coils and pressure-relief foam, so the price is usually on the higher side. However, Saatva’s holiday sales promo should take some strain off your wallet, as you can save $400 off purchases of $1,000 or more. Use our link below.

Birch
If you’re looking to get memory foams and other manmade materials out of your bedroom in favor of an all-organic mattress, the Birch Luxe Natural has been a consistent winner for us. It has an organic cotton Euro top that gives your pressure points a cushioned surface to slightly sink into. Layers of natural wool are incorporated underneath for breathable temperature control. Latex is pressure-relieving, like memory foam, but without any chemicals involved. It’s also organic, with Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certification. Pocketed coils help support you where you need it most. Birch is also throwing in two free pillows with every mattress purchase. To make it even better, you can use code WIRED27 for even more savings.

- Bouncy, yet supportive: Birch Natural for $1,362 (27% Off)—Use Code WIRED27)
Silk & Snow
Canadian brand Silk & Snow uses high-quality materials and thoughtful construction in its mattresses, with prices that are hard to argue with. In the S&S Organic hybrid’s case, there are several organic certifications too. With GOLS-certified organic cotton, organic wool, and GOLS-certified latex atop pocketed coils, it eliminates any guesswork about materials and focuses solely on support. For Black Friday, Silk & Snow is offering up to $300 off on mattresses, no code needed.
- Supportive and organic construction: S&S Organic for $1,050 (15% Off)
Avocado
Avocado takes the notion of “all-natural” mattresses very seriously, with an extensive list of certifications to back its claims. The Avocado Green hybrid mattress comes in Firm (base model), Medium (pillow top), and Plush (box top, which is an even thicker version of a softer pillow top). Medium and Plush cost a bit extra, but we previously tested the Firm model and loved it. Its organic latex and coil construction provided lumbar support, temperature regulation, and pressure relief to the point where it got a near-perfect score. For Avocado’s Black Friday mattress sale, you can take 20 percent off your purchase, no code needed.

Wolf
Wolf mattresses are not ones you should overlook. Each time our team has tested a Wolf mattress, we were impressed with its quality and performance. The Wolf 13-inch Memory Foam Hybrid Premium Firm Mattress is quite a name, but the experience is anything but. It excels with temperature control thanks to a cooling cover, foams, and coils. This hybrid is just firm enough that you can move around without feeling stuck, but it also maintains spinal alignment. Wolf’s Black Friday mattress sale is live, with 15 percent off on your purchase.
