For many individuals, mattress shopping (thankfully) happens infrequently— typically about once or twice per decade, if that. How long has it been since you last went shopping for a new mattress? In this ever-changing world, the cost of goods continues to change, leaving many consumers who need a new mattress wondering how much a reasonably priced yet still good-quality mattress will cost them today.

Most mattress brands purposefully offer a variety of mattress styles at various price points as well as sizes. Mattress manufacturers' selection, for instance, Beautyrest or Purple Innovations, begins with a line of entry-level-grade mattresses with the lowest starting price.

Next, you generally have several "middle of the road" choices within the same brand. Similarly, each brand offers at least one premium, top-of-the-line mattress choice, so you can "climb the quality ladder" as tall as you like— leaving it up to you to decide how valuable a good night's sleep is in your life.

Still, sleep experts and medical professionals emphasize that sleep is a pillar of our health, with some specialists highlighting that sleep is more than a pillar— it's the foundation of wellness, motivating more and more people to take their physical, mental, and sleep health seriously. Part of achieving optimal sleep quality and wellness involves being aware of the role of your mattress and pillow— their quality, support value, and comfortability.

Before deciding how much you want to spend on your new mattress, consider easy financing options or whether your budget is flexible. If so, it's worthwhile to understand a reasonable price for a mattress that meets today's standards. A mattress that feels good all night, impressing your needs to help you heal and sleep better. One that can support and adapt comfortably to fit your body and potentially exceed your expectations for muscle relaxation and improved sleep.

Keep reading to discover several reputable mattress brands and where you can try them out, as well as expert insights on reasonable pricing for a good-quality mattress.

What's a Reasonable Price for a Quality, "Budget-Friendly" Mattress?

As you approach the "mattress quality ladder," you'll have various choices, starting with entry-level mattresses—like Bed Tech Gel Comfort— with the most affordable price points. Brands like Serta, Beautyrest, Southerland, Nectar, and DreamCloud each offer several affordable yet good-quality mattresses. This tier is often full of "budget-friendly" mattress options with good-quality construction.

Mattresses of this quality are typically priced within or close to the following range:

Entry-Level Quality Mattress Price Range

Queen $700 - $1,300
King $1,300 - $2,000

Keep in mind:

• Full-size mattresses are generally about $100-$200 less than Queen-size mattresses.
• Twin and TwinXL mattresses cost approximately $150- $400 less than full size.

Still, manufacturers like Serta, Beautyrest, and Southerland— a local Portland mattress maker— produce a full spectrum of quality. Starting with entry-level choices, like the Ashland Boxtop mattress and the Serta Perfect Sleeper Knox Plush. Then, the sky is the limit to satisfy your need for deep, restorative sleep.
