We're gearing up for one of the biggest sales events of the year — Presidents' Day. Sales are popping up all over the internet, but if you're shopping for a new mattress, you'd be remiss not to check one of the top retailers for cheap products — Amazon. Right now, the strongest deal we've found is a queen Siena Essential mattress for $239 at Amazon (was $279.)

As well as stocking some of the best mattress brands for all sleepers, such as DreamCloud, Purple and Nectar, Amazon is still the land of the cheap and cheerful mattresses — and I've selected three beds that I'd buy ahead of the Presidents' Day mattress sales. Starting at just $99, these mattresses are excellent value options for guest rooms and growing children.

Amazon also has some fantastic deals on mattress toppers, giving you a chance to bring some extra comfort to your bed and extend the life of your mattress. The standout topper sale for me is a queen Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt memory foam mattress topper for $198.49 at Amazon (was $419.) That's over $40 cheaper than buying directly through Tempur-Pedic.

Today's top Amazon mattress deals

1. Siena Essential Memory Foam mattress: Twin $149 now from $127.13 at Amazon
Siena is a very reputable budget mattress maker, even taking the top spot in our best cheap mattress guide. The Essential is Siena's most affordable model, with a queen going for just $239 (was $279) at Amazon. If you buy directly from Siena you'll pay full price, so this Amazon deal is the strongest discount we're seeing on this mattress. The medium firm feeling of this mattress will suit most sleep positions but, at 8" tall, heavier bodies will require something with more support, like the Nectar Classic. Your purchase is covered by a 180-night trial and 10-year warranty.

2. FDW 8" Gel Memory Foam mattress: $159.99 now from $98.98 at Amazon
Like the Siena, this budget mattress stands at 8" tall. It features two inches of gel memory foam over six inches of high-density base support foam. While we haven't tested this model, we reckon the high-density foam will create a medium-firm feel, making it a good all-rounder for growing kids or occasional guest beds. Be warned, though, Amazon doesn't offer sleep trials with this mattress so buy at your own risk. But if you're looking for a quick cheap solution, this could be the one for you. A twin size is now 38% off, taking it under the $100 mark.

A queen size costs $198.49 (was $419), which is better than half price.

2. Iululu 3" memory foam mattress topper: $49.59 now from $42.16 at Amazon
At the opposite end of the price spectrum, this best-selling mattress topper is up to 20% off at Amazon right now, with a queen going for $59.67 (was $74.59).
