8 Best Walmart Mattresses of 2026
By the HearSmart research desk · Updated November 10, 2026 · Next review December 25, 2026 · 8 products compared
The short version
Start with the Serta 10-inch Cooling Gel Memory Foam mattress: at $358 for a queen it is the best mix of build, brand and price at Walmart. Sealy Essentials Cool-Touch is the hybrid pick at $438, and Allswell's 10-inch hybrid is the cheaper coil option at $282 with a 10-year warranty. Zinus Spa Sensations is the cheapest memory foam bed at $198, Lucid suits people who need a plush or firm feel, Linenspa fits bunk beds and dorms, Beautyrest Level Two Hybrid is the premium step-up from $1,099, and Mainstays is the $198 basic coil bed for guest rooms.
Short answer
The best mattress to buy at Walmart for most shoppers in 2026 is the Serta 10-inch Cooling Gel Memory Foam mattress, because it gives a full-height medium memory foam bed from a major brand for $358 in queen on Walmart.com. The Sealy Essentials Cool-Touch 11-inch Hybrid suits people who want coil support, at $438 for a queen; the cheapest options are the Zinus Spa Sensations 8-inch memory foam and Mainstays 8-inch hybrid, both $198 for a queen.
This list is for Walmart shoppers picking an affordable mattress on Walmart.com or in store. Walmart's mattress pages filter by brands including Spa Sensations, Casper, Sealy, Allswell, Serta, Linenspa, Mainstays, Zinus, Lucid, Signature Sleep and Beautyrest. We compared documented features and published prices, checked on November 10, 2026. Five entries use Walmart.com's own queen prices and listing details. For Lucid, Linenspa and Beautyrest we could not confirm a Walmart.com price, so we used the brand's US store price as a reference; check the Walmart listing before you buy. Walmart prices change often and can differ by store, so treat every figure as a snapshot.

Queen $358 on Walmart.com when checked, down from $399; twin $274
Quoted from the Serta 10" Cooling Gel Memory Foam (EZ Tote) pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Queen, Now $358.00, was $399.00
Serta's 10-inch Cooling Gel Memory Foam mattress ranks first because it pairs a full-height memory foam build with one of the lowest queen prices from a major brand on Walmart.com. Walmart's listing describes three foam layers, a cool gel memory foam top that contours to the body, a medium feel meant for back, side, stomach and combination sleepers, and antimicrobial protection in the mattress. It ships in Serta's EZ Tote carton, which Walmart says uses 25% less cardboard than a standard mattress-in-a-box. The queen cost $358 when we checked, down from $399, with the twin at $274 and the king at $499, and the listing showed free shipping and free 90-day returns. The listing cites more than 9,000 reviews with a 4.6 rating. Trade-offs: there are no coils, so edges feel softer and there is less bounce than on the Sealy or Allswell hybrids, and the listing does not state a warranty term.
What it does well
- +Walmart's listing cites over 9,000 reviews with a 4.6 rating
- +Queen at $358 when checked, $41 under its $399 list price
- +Works on a box spring, adjustable base or platform bed
Where it falls short
- −All-foam, so it has less bounce and edge support than the hybrids here
- −The listing does not state a warranty length

Queen $282 on Walmart.com when checked; twin $192
Quoted from the Allswell 10" Hybrid pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Queen, $282.00 Queen $282.00
Allswell is Walmart's own mattress brand, and its 10-inch hybrid ranks third on value. Walmart's listing describes individually wrapped pocketed coils that move independently to limit motion transfer, gel-infused memory foam paired with gel-infused comfort foam, reinforced edge support around the perimeter and a cool-to-touch quilted cover. The queen supports up to 500 lb and the mattress carries a 10-year limited warranty. It cost $282 for a queen when we checked, $192 for a twin and $364 for a king, with free shipping and free 90-day returns. That makes it about $150 less than the Sealy hybrid for a similar coil-and-foam layout, though it is an inch thinner and does not carry a national brand name. Note that an older Allswell 10-inch listing showed the queen out of stock when we checked, so make sure you buy the current version.
What it does well
- +The cheapest queen hybrid with edge support on this list at $282
- +10-year limited warranty stated on the listing
- +Medium feel balances cushioning and support
Where it falls short
- −10-inch profile is thinner than the Sealy hybrid
- −Some Allswell sizes and older versions showed out of stock when checked
- −Sold mainly through Walmart, so it is hard to compare elsewhere

Quoted from the Sealy Essentials Cool-Touch 11" Hybrid pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Queen, $438.00 Queen $438.00
The Sealy Essentials Cool-Touch hybrid is the strongest coil option on this list and ranks second. Walmart's listing describes Response Encased Coils that support the body and limit motion transfer, a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer, SealySupportGel Foam for airflow and SealySupport Foam at the base, all under a stretch-knit cover. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and the 11-inch mattress ships compressed in a box. The queen cost $438 when we checked, the twin $324 and the king $534, with free shipping and free 90-day returns listed. Compared with the Serta foam bed it gives more bounce and a sturdier surface for people who move around at night, at about $80 more for a queen. The limits: Walmart notes that part of the feature summary is AI generated, so confirm the specs on the label sewn to the mattress, and no warranty term is stated on the listing.
What it does well
- +Coils add bounce and support that all-foam beds lack
- +Medium feel suits a wide range of sleepers
- +Queen at $438, far below Sealy's showroom lines
Where it falls short
- −Costs $80 more than the Serta foam queen

Quoted from the Lucid Original 10" Memory Foam pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Size: Queen Twin Twin XL Full Queen King Cal King Size Chart Feel: Medium Plush Medium Firm Help Me Choose Regular price $299.99
Lucid is one of the brands Walmart lists in its mattress filters, and the Original 10-inch memory foam bed is the best pick here if you want to choose your firmness. Lucid's own page lists three versions: Plush with 2.5 inches of bamboo charcoal and gel memory foam over 2 inches of transition foam, Medium with 3 inches of memory foam, and Firm with a thicker 6-inch base. Lucid recommends Plush for side sleepers, Firm for stomach sleepers and Medium for people who switch positions. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified and the mattress works with adjustable bases. The queen showed a $299.99 regular price on Lucid's US store when we checked, with a 25% sitewide discount applied in cart, and direct orders get a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty. We could not confirm Lucid's Walmart.com price, so compare the listing against this figure before buying.
What it does well
- +Three firmness choices, rare at this price
- +Bamboo charcoal helps capture odors, per Lucid
- +100-night trial on Lucid.com orders
Where it falls short
- −We checked the price on Lucid's own store, not on Walmart.com
- −Memory foam sink-in feel will not suit people who like bounce
- −Walmart stock and price for each feel may differ

Queen $198 on Walmart.com when checked; twin $128
Quoted from the Zinus Spa Sensations 8" Green Tea Memory Foam pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Queen, $198.00 Queen $198.00
Zinus Spa Sensations is the memory foam line Zinus makes for Walmart, and the 8-inch version is the cheapest foam queen on this list. Walmart's listing describes memory foam infused with green tea and active charcoal to neutralize odors, Adaptive Comfort Foam beneath it and a high-density base foam for even support. The feel is medium, aimed at side, back, stomach and combination sleepers. The foam is CertiPUR-US certified, the cover is OEKO-TEX certified, and Zinus backs it with a 10-year limited warranty. Twin supports up to 350 lb and all other sizes up to 750 lb. The queen cost $198 when we checked, the twin $128 and the king $228, with free 90-day returns. The trade-off is height: 8 inches gives less cushion than the 10-inch Serta or Lucid, so heavier sleepers and side sleepers with sore shoulders may want to spend more.
What it does well
- +Queen at $198, tied for the lowest price on this list
- +Medium feel aimed at all sleep positions
- +Higher weight rating than most budget foam beds
Where it falls short
- −8-inch profile is thin for heavier adults
- −Less pressure relief than the 10-inch foam beds
- −Spa Sensations is a Walmart line, so specs differ from Zinus's own store models
- Walmart queen price

Quoted from the Linenspa 8" Memory Foam Hybrid pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Size: Queen Twin Twin XL Full Queen Size Chart Sizes Width Length Close Regular price $239.99
Linenspa is one of the brands in Walmart's mattress filters, and its 8-inch Memory Foam Hybrid is a low-cost way to get springs rather than all foam. Linenspa's page describes individually encased springs topped with pressure-relieving memory foam, a gel infusion meant to keep you cooler, and a medium-firm feel aimed at back and multi-position sleepers. It works with all bed frames including adjustable bases, the foam is CertiPUR-US certified, and it carries a 10-year limited warranty. The queen cost $239.99 on Linenspa's US store when we checked. Linenspa pitches the 8-inch profile for bunk beds, dorm rooms and guest rooms, and that is where it fits best. For a main bed, the 10-inch Allswell hybrid at $282 on Walmart.com adds edge support and two more inches for about $40 more.
What it does well
- +A coil hybrid at $239.99 for a queen on Linenspa's store
- +8-inch profile fits bunk beds and dorm frames
- +Ships free in 1 to 3 business days on direct orders, per Linenspa
Where it falls short
- −Thin for heavier adults

Quoted from the Beautyrest Level Two Hybrid pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Beautyrest Level Two Hybrid $1,099.00
Beautyrest appears in Walmart's mattress brand filters, and the Level Two Hybrid is the pick for shoppers who want to step above budget beds. It has the highest performance score here: Beautyrest's page describes 875 Density Pocketed Coil Technology for individualized support and motion separation, ActiveResponse MAX High Density Memory Foam for contouring, and a cool-to-the-touch surface with InfiniCool Technology. It comes in Medium, Firm and Plush. Beautyrest.com listed it from $1,099 when we checked, with White Glove Delivery, removal of the old mattress, a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty on direct orders. The catch for a Walmart shopper is cost: it is about three times the price of the Serta foam queen, and we could not confirm which Beautyrest models or prices Walmart.com carries, so match coil count and foams on any Walmart listing before you compare prices.
What it does well
- +The most advanced coil and foam build on this list
- +Three feel options
- +Delivery, setup and haul-away included on Beautyrest.com
Where it falls short
- −About three times the price of the Serta queen

Quoted from the Mainstays 8" Pocket Spring Hybrid pricing page on November 10, 2026:
Queen, $198.00 Queen $198.00
Mainstays is Walmart's lowest-priced house brand, and its 8-inch Pocket Spring Hybrid is the cheapest coil queen on this list. Walmart's listing describes 7 inches of individually wrapped pocket coils, 1 inch of support foam and a soft quilted cover, with a tight top and a non-slip base that helps keep the mattress on the frame. The queen measures 60 by 80 by 8 inches and supports up to 500 lb, and it ships rolled in a box. It cost $198 for a queen when we checked, $98 for a twin and $218 for a king, with free 90-day returns listed. That price buys a basic spring bed rather than a comfort mattress: with only 1 inch of foam it gives far less cushioning than the Zinus Spa Sensations at the same queen price. It fits guest rooms, kids' rooms and short-term setups best.
What it does well
- +Queen at $198 and twin at $98, the lowest coil prices here
- +Non-slip base helps keep it in place on the frame
- +Pocket coils reduce motion transfer
Where it falls short
- −Only 1 inch of foam, so little pressure relief
- −The listing does not state a warranty length
- −Best for guest rooms rather than nightly use

Before you pick a product or a plan
Compare queen prices, not the lowest listed size
Walmart's category and store pages often show a price that starts from the twin size. On the product page, pick the size you need: the Allswell hybrid, for example, showed $192 for a twin and $282 for a queen when we checked.
Choose foam or coils first
All-foam beds such as the Serta, Zinus Spa Sensations and Lucid give more contouring and less motion. Hybrids such as Sealy Essentials, Allswell, Linenspa and Mainstays add coils for bounce, airflow and firmer edges. Side sleepers usually do better on foam, back and combination sleepers on a hybrid.
Mind the height
8-inch mattresses such as Zinus Spa Sensations, Linenspa and Mainstays suit kids, guest rooms and bunk beds. For an adult's nightly bed, a 10 to 11-inch mattress such as the Serta, Allswell, Lucid or Sealy gives more cushioning.
Check the return terms that apply
The Walmart.com listings we checked showed free shipping and free 90-day returns. Brand-store trials, such as Lucid's 100 nights, apply only when you buy from the brand directly, so read the terms for wherever you order.
Watch for marketplace look-alikes
Walmart.com mixes its own stock with marketplace sellers and sponsored listings, many from unfamiliar brands. Check the brand name and the 'Sold and shipped by' line before you add a mattress to the cart.
