If you're searching for a budget-friendly bed from a reputable brand behind some of this year's best mattresses, then Brooklyn Bedding's Dreamfoam Essential is a great choice.

Summary: When testing this budget bed for our Dreamfoam Essential mattress review, our expert team praised how much comfort and support it offers for such an affordable price. We tested the 10" version and found it to be one of the best cheap mattresses (especially when it's 30% off). While the 6" and 8" versions are cheaper, we recommend the 10", as this mattress height is able to support most adult sleepers. You could also opt for the more expensive 12" or 14" versions, if you want extra cushioning. The medium-firm feel is suitable for all sleep positions, but we recommend it primarily for front sleepers — its one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers on a budget.
Benefits: Free shipping | 120-night sleep trial | 10-year warranty.
Price History: The Dreamfoam Essential is usually 25% off, and we only see a 30% discount for a short time during holiday sales events. We predict this deal will end after Veterans Day and not make a comeback until closer the Black Friday sales. We don't predict anything bigger for Black Friday, so it's safe to buy now if you need a mattress soon.
Which Dreamfoam Essential mattress height should I choose?
The Dreamfoam Essential comes in five different thickness options: 6", 8", 10", 12", or 14". The shorter the height, the cheaper the price. While the 6" and 8" versions may be the least expensive, we would only recommend them for young children or temporary usage (such as RV beds or guest rooms). These thinner builds don't offer enough support for regular use by adults.
We recommend the 10" version if you want an everyday mattress on a tight budget. 10 inches is the minimum height we recommend for a mattress, as it's thick enough to support most adult sleepers. Opt for the 12" or 14" versions if you're a side sleeper who prefers extra plushness or a plus-sized adult or couple. For more advice, visit our guide to picking the right mattress height.
