Tuft & Needle is the cheapest well-known online brand on this list. The T&N Original queen was $559.20 when we checked, down from $699 during a pre-Black Friday sale, and the store lists free shipping and returns with a 100-night sleep trial. It is a firm all-foam mattress, and the brand's own FAQ explains how it ships: the mattress arrives boxed, should not stay boxed for more than 3 to 4 weeks, and can be slept on within 2 to 3 hours of setup. Tuft & Needle says it works on most frames, including box springs, platform, slatted and adjustable frames, which keeps setup simple. The tradeoffs are a shorter trial, since most brands above it give 365 nights, and a single firm feel with no coils that will suit back and stomach sleepers better than side sleepers. For a guest room or a first apartment it is hard to beat on price.
