Linenspa 8" Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress: queen was $239.99 now $193.79 at Linenspa
This mattress earned three out of five stars in our Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress review. However, for a budget mattress, this is still a good score. After sleeping on this mattress, we found that it was best suited to lightweight sleepers or children, or if you're looking to fit a guest bedroom. Heavier sleepers are likely to find it not supportive enough. Right now a queen is $203.99, down from $239, but for Black Friday there's an extra 5% off when you add the mattress to your cart, bringing the price down to just $193.79. The Linenspa is also available from Amazon at the same price but you won't get the additional 5% discount.

EGOHOME 12" Black Memory Foam Mattress: queen was $329.99 now $280.49 at Amazon
This mattress earned four out of five stars in our EGOHOME Black 12" Mattress Review, striking a good balance between offering sleepers the traditional hugging feeling that memory foam is known for and providing enough support for back and stomach sleepers. We typically see generous deals on this mattress throughout the year. However, this is the lowest price we've seen on this mattress, and we doubt it will go any lower.

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: queen was $233.99 now $178 at Amazon
Right now, you can save $55 on one of our top-rated memory foam mattresses and get a queen for just $178 — one of our favorite mattress, pillow, and bedding deals for Black Friday shoppers on a budget. We tested this mattress and found that it was better suited to side sleepers. In our Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review, we gave this mattress 3.5 out of five stars, which is a good rating for a budget mattress. Its only downfall is that it's too soft for stomach sleepers, and we did find that it trapped heat, which could be troublesome for hot sleepers.
