We've seen it sell for about $100 less before, and they've thrown in more freebies, but this is still a great deal. Just be aware that the price might drop a little later in the month. In any case, the Midnight Luxe Hybrid is springy and medium-firm and should be well suited to any style of sleeping. The individually wrapped springs are zoned so that you have more support where you need it to prevent back pain. It also doesn't get too warm, though it's thick enough that you'll want deep-pocketed sheets. It's been our favorite mattress for over eight years.Courtesy of BirchCourtesy of BirchChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistBirchLuxe Natural Mattress$2,624 $1,916 (27% off) Birch$2,624 $1,968 (25% off) Pottery BarnUse exclusive coupon code WIRED27 to get a solid discount on the best organic mattress, which is bouncy and supportive and comes with a 100-day trial.

OK, yes, spending three thousand dollars on a mattress might seem a little crazy. But this bed isn't just your average mattress that you plop on a frame. It prevents motion transfer. It has an app to track fitness. The firmness can be dialed in to your (and your partner's) liking. It's on the soft side, even at maximum firmness which felt more like medium-firm to our expert tester Julia Forbes. But it's still nice and supportive, especially for side sleepers since it relieves pressure points without being so firm as to cause additional pain.

The article emphasizes that seasoned deal hunters advise waiting for major sales events like Memorial Day or Black Friday/Cyber Monday for the best prices.
