In other words, while you’re perusing early Amazon Prime Day deals on vacuums, furniture, outdoor gear, and wellness products, you can pick up a new mattress for yourself too—how’s that for one-stop shopping? Before you get to scrolling, here’s a quick rundown on what mattress type might suit your sleeping style and give you the best sleep you can get. Mattresses for Side SleepersYou should look for a medium-firm mattress that will prevent pressure points from building around your shoulders, hips, and knees (which can lead to back pain). All-foam or hybrid innerspring mattresses will work for you, as long as they provide contouring and support. Mattresses for Stomach and Back SleepersThese might be opposite sleep positions, but stomach sleepers can benefit from the same type of mattress as back sleepers: A firm bed that won’t let your lower back arch out of alignment. Again, a memory foam mattress can fit the bill as well as a hybrid mattress, but bear in mind that foam mattresses tend to be on the softer side (making uncomfortable sinkage a risk). Overall you want to find a mattress that provides pressure relief and, most of all, nightlong comfort. And Amazon has plenty of options to choose from. From beloved bed-in-a-box mattress brands to best-selling beds at affordable price points, we’ve highlighted our top Amazon mattress picks here.

Is memory foam or box spring better?Memory foam is usually known to be more durable because the lack of coils reduces the risk of sagging. Spring mattresses may not be as durable as memory foam because the springs and coils may start poking and sagging due to extended use.
Is it better to have box springs with a mattress?If you prefer a traditional innerspring mattress, a box spring would be a better choice to improve the comfort of your bed for a good night's sleep. Platform beds, compatible with all mattress types, are a good option if you don't mind a lower profile.
What size box spring should I get for a queen mattress?Queen box springs measure 60" X 80" for standard queen beds, 60" X 84" for California queen beds, 66" X 80" for Olympic queen beds and approx. 30" X 80" for split queen beds. In terms of depth or thickness, queen box springs range from 8 inches deep to 12 inches deep.
