Mattresses under $500

Achieve your best night’s sleep with a high-quality and comfortable mattress that doesn’t break the bank. If you are looking for a mattress under $500 that still suits your unique sleeping needs and helps you nod off each night, here are a few of our favorite tips for choosing the perfect mattress.

Types of Mattresses & Staying on Budget

Most mattresses are constructed with multiple layers of foam, springs, and padding to create an ideal blend for restorative sleep. Here are some of the most common types:

- Innerspring: Innerspring mattresses are constructed of metal coils on the inside, with foam and fibers on the top. These beds are typically firmer and with more bounce than a foam mattress and are suitable for back and stomach sleepers.

- Foam: Foam mattresses, including memory foam and polyfoam, create a soft, pressure-relieving surface that cradles and conforms to your body. These beds are ideal for side sleepers.

- Latex: Made from all-natural materials, latex mattresses are lauded for their durability and tend to last slightly longer than other types. Latex provides light body-contouring support with a bouncier feel than memory foam.

- Hybrid: For sleepers who are fans of the support of an innerspring with the body comfort of foam, hybrid mattresses are a popular choice. These beds have the coils lower down, layered with foam on top, and are perfect for combination sleepers.

On average, hybrid beds tend to cost more, but they also offer more longevity and durability, and innerspring beds tend to be on the lower end of the price spectrum. Foam and latex mattresses offer a good combination of affordability and lasting comfort.

How To Choose the Best Affordable Mattress for You

1. Decide on the support and comfort levels you would like your mattress to meet, as that will influence the type of mattress you choose. Do you prefer a mattress that conforms to your body with sinking comfort? Or firm support?

2. Finalize your budget. Mattresses come in a wide range of prices, and you’ll also have to consider your budget for accessories, such as a headboard and frame, as well as sheets and blankets. Decide on a budget that you are comfortable with.

3. Make sure that you choose the right mattress size for the frame and headboard. If your frame is not a platform bed, make sure you are also getting a box spring for full support.
