The 3 queen mattresses under $300 I'd buy in the last-minute Memorial Day sales — prices start from just $196
We've tested and approved these three budget mattresses — and they're still under $300 in the last-minute Memorial Day mattress sales
Memorial Day may have ended but the best of the sales haven't and I've rounded up three queen mattresses under $300 to prove it. My favorite deal is the Siena Signature Mattress, now $294 in a queen at Siena, a supportive foam mattress with cooling capabilities that exceeded our expectations.
The Siena is in our best mattress of 2026 guide as our top cheap pick, but its low price is no reflection of its high-quality build. In fact, many of the budget beds we've tested, from the all-foam Zinus to the hybrid Linenspa mattress below, have outperformed their cheap price tag.
The Memorial Day mattress sales are still going for now but based on our previous sales experience they're likely to end soon. Which means this may be your best opportunity to buy the Siena, Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam, and the Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid mattresses for under $300 in a queen. Let's take a closer look at what we thought of each mattress...

Top 3 mattress deals under $300 for a queen in the Memorial Day sales
The Siena Signature Memory Foam Mattress is the best cheap mattress of 2026, as it exceeded our expectations in both our lab-based and at-home tests. It offers superb motion isolation (even beating mid-range and luxury mattresses) and the better-than-average temperature regulation should see you sleeping comfortably through summer. For the longest time a queen was priced at $359 but now it's just $294. Plus you'll get some great benefits: 180-night sleep trial, a 10-year warranty, and free shipping and returns.
It's rare that you'll find a hybrid mattress outside the mid-range or luxury price tiers, but the Linenspa proves hybrids can come with an ultra-cheap price tag. We think this 8-inch mattress is perfect for guest rooms, dorm beds, and growing kids, but those who want a little more support for everyday use should opt for the 10" Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid for $299.99 at Amazon.
The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress is one of the best mattresses for side sleepers on the market thanks to its "marshmallow" softness for cushioning pressure points (like the shoulders and knees.) While hot sleepers and back and stomach sleepers will need something firmer, it's great for anyone looking for a low-cost mattress with maximum pressure relief. The best deal on the Zinus Green Tea is at Amazon, where a twin is just $195.15.
