Calling all back and stomach sleepers on a budget! The Siena Signature memory foam mattress is down to $294 for a queen size at Siena, reduced from its already affordable price of $359. You'll get free shipping, a 180-day trial, and a 10-year warranty with that too.

As one of this year's best mattresses for comfier sleep, we didn't expect the Siena Signature to become any better value in the current economic climate, what with mattress tarriffs and general rising costs. But Siena Sleep has come out swinging with this juicy price cut, making it one of the best Memorial Day mattress sales we've tracked so far.

A permanent Siena mattress sale means you never have to pay more than $399 for a queen. In fact, prices dropped last year with a queen size settling at $359. We didn't think it could get much better value, but Siena has proved us wrong slashing it to just $294. Free shipping, a 180-night home trial and 10-year limited warranty are included, and you can pay an extra $35 for 2" more cushioning foam.

Loads of support for a small price

We primarily recommend the Siena Signature as one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers on a budget. Why? Its firm sleep surface keeps your spine aligned when lying on your front, whereas softer mattresses leave your hips sagging.

Although experts discourage sleeping on your stomach, some people just can't shift the habit and actually find it the most comfortable position, despite the pressure it puts on your lower back — as our mattress tester, Ruth Jones, knows too well.

Here's how Ruth sums up her experience sleeping on this top-rated mattress in a box: "The moment I climbed on to the Siena Signature mattress, I was obsessed with its support.

I’d been restless on my previous bed — the Nectar Premier Memory Foam is too soft for me — but on the Siena, I settled quickly into a comfortable stomach sleeping position and stayed that way."

Bonus: Ruth woke up free of back pain, even after spending all night on her stomach.

I was also among the Siena Signature testing panel in our sleep lab. As a combination sleeper who rotates through the night, I was surprised by how supportive and comfortable it felt in all positions.

Granted, it does lack a little cushioning when on your side. Hence, light weight side sleepers who like a classic memory foam 'hug' should steer clear, opting for a softer bed like the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress.

Back to the Siena, it scored highly across our mattress tests, performing particularly well in motion isolation and edge support. This means it's ideal for couples who toss and turn as the firm foams limit movement from carrying across the mattress; as well as people with reduced mobility who need strong edges to push off from when getting out of bed.

Listen up, hot sleepers: Although there's no specialist cooling materials in the Siena Signature bar a 'breathable' cover, it keeps relatively cool through the night — quite an achievement considering foam beds are renowned for trapping heat. In the Siena’s price range, you’ll struggle to find a mattress with better temperature regulation.

If you want a more luxurious firm mattress...

If I had a little more cash to splash and wanted a more luxury feeling yet supportive mattress, I'd snap up the flippable Plank Firm, the best firm mattress we've tested — and treat myself to the GlacioTex Cooling Cover so I don't break a sweat in bed.

Made with high density foams that reduce spinal stress and alleviate back pain, this bed is approved by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).

It's a wise choice for heavier stomach sleepers who would benefit from a sturdier bed. Plus, it's flippable nature (you can sleep on both sides, although one side is slightly firmer than the other) improves its longevity.

The Plank Firm Mattress usually sells for $999 in a queen size but the price is a little sweeter in current Memorial Day sales ($932.40). Adding the GlacioTex cover adds $140 to the price tag — a justifiable addition for hot sleepers. Free shipping, lifetime warranty, and a 120-night trial make good perks.
