It’s unlikely you’ll be able to move your own bed into your college dorm room, so chances are you’ll be sleeping on a mattress that’s seen a lot of use. We’d recommend getting a bed topper on there pronto, and Amazon has some great Prime Day mattress deals to help you do that for less (if your school isn't supplying your bed, the best mattresses on Amazon tend to be a good budget option).
Many of America’s best mattress toppers are on sale this month, but as most of those sit outside of a college budget, we’ve scoured Amazon for cheap yet good quality toppers to put at least two inches between you and the bed you’ll be sleeping on. Bargain-hunters should also check out our guide to the best cheap mattress topper under $50.
Ensuring you have the best mattress for your body makes a big difference to how well you sleep, which in turn impacts your studies. The next best thing is getting a decent mattress topper to give you comfort and support from the first night, and these are the ones we’d recommend buying this Prime Day…
There are loads more cheap mattress topper sales to explore in this year’s Prime Day deals, but the above five are ideal for college dorm use. Amazon offers returns on unopened toppers within 30 days of purchase, so if you change your mind you can send it back for free and get a refund.
All of our featured toppers use the same type of foam used in the best memory foam mattresses, so you can expect a decent level of pressure relief from each - especially the thicker, 3” toppers.
