If you’ve been dreaming all year of saving serious cash on a new mattress, you have a few more hours before the alarm goes off. From the best mattresses for back pain to our favorite cooling options, these are the top deals on mattresses the WIRED Reviews team has tested in their own homes. We also track prices all year to see where the best sales are really happening. And Cyber Monday brings some of the best sleep deals you’ll see all year.

If it’s on this list, it’s genuinely a good deal on a product someone from our team has tested and approved of. While the prices listed below are for queen sizes, the deals should apply to all mattress sizes. Your dreams of a new king mattress are still going strong.

Updated 2 pm ET December 1: We’ve added new sales from Sleep Number and Thuma, and ensured up-to-date links and prices.

WIRED Featured Deals

Bear

The WIRED Reviews team has crowned the Bear Elite Hybrid as the best mattress for back pain we’ve tested to date. It comes in three firmness options, including Soft, Medium, and Firm. WIRED testers have found Firm helpful for spinal alignment, and you can also add a Celliant cover for a fee, designed to help with muscle recovery. In addition to the sale, Bear is also throwing in a free accessories bundle (two pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector). Use WIRED40 for 40 percent off, which is an additional 5 percent off the offer you’ll see on the site.

Helix Sleep

Midnight Luxe Hybrid Mattress (14-Inch)

We test many, many mattresses—so it’s saying something that the Helix Midnight Luxe has been our favorite overall mattress for seven years running. This specific model is designed for side sleepers, but the brand’s slogan is “designed for every body,” and there are plenty of options for every sleeping position. Helix’s Cyber Week sale is underway, but you can get additional savings by using our exclusive coupon code WIRED27 for 27 percent off.

Saatva

Saatva mattresses strive to be the intersection of luxury, natural materials, and support for many sleepers. One model in particular that we’ve tested, the Saatva Rx, offers serious pressure relief for even the most persistent aches and pains. It incorporates micro coils and pressure-relief foam, so the price is usually on the higher side. However, Saatva’s holiday sales promo should take some strain off your wallet, as you can save $400 off purchases of $1,000 or more. Use our link below.

Sleep Number

If you’re trying to decide between a sleep tracker or a new mattress, I’ve got news for you—Sleep Number can do both. The p6 is a smart bed that lets you adjust your preferred firmness; pressure relief levels; and, paired with an adjustable base, the angle of the head and foot of the bed. It also tracks your sleep, noting any changes in your heart rate, breathing, and deep sleep. Sleep Number is offering free shipping plus discounts for bed and base bundles. Free shipping’s a big deal because it’s usually a separate fee from Sleep Number for a team to come set up the bed for you. Now, it’s just part of your purchase.

Casper

Casper

Original Hybrid Mattress (12-Inch)

Amazon’s current price on this Casper hybrid is slightly lower than we saw for Prime Day, at just over $1,000 for a queen from Amazon. Casper was one of the original American mattresses-in-a-box makers, though the company has been bought and sold a few times. We like this mattress for pressure relief but it has heightened support thanks to the coils. There’s also a sale on a Casper pillow we like below.

Birch

Birch

Luxe Natural Mattress

If you’re looking to get memory foams and other man-made materials out of your bedroom in favor of an all-organic mattress, the Birch Luxe Natural has been a consistent winner for us. It has an organic cotton Euro top that gives your pressure points a cushioned surface to slightly sink into. Layers of natural wool are incorporated underneath for breathable temperature control. Latex is pressure-relieving, like memory foam, but without any chemicals involved. It’s also organic, with Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certification. Pocketed coils help support you where you need it most. Birch is also throwing in two free pillows with every mattress purchase. To make it even better, you can use code WIRED27 for even more savings.

Airweave

Airweave Advanced (Queen)

There is a significant savings on a mattress we really liked for its firmness and portability, while balking at the price in our review. The Airweave’s filling is made from a unique ultrafine woven polyethylene, which looks like uncooked glass noodles or a tangle of fishing line. It functions like super micro coils and offers a somewhat stiff but very. supportive sleeping surface. Best of all, it can be disassembled for easy moving, and the cover is washable.

Silk & Snow

Silk & Snow

S&S Organic Mattress

Canadian brand Silk & Snow uses high-quality materials and thoughtful construction in its mattresses, with prices that are hard to argue with. In the S&S Organic hybrid’s case, there are several organic certifications too. With GOLS-certified organic cotton, organic wool, and GOLS-certified latex atop pocketed coils, it eliminates any guesswork about materials and focuses solely on support. For holiday shoppers, Silk & Snow is offering up to $300 off on mattresses, no code needed.

Avocado

Avocado takes the notion of “all-natural” mattresses very seriously, with an extensive list of certifications to back its claims. The Avocado Green hybrid mattress comes in Firm (base model), Medium (pillow top), and Plush (box top, which is an even thicker version of a softer pillow top). Medium and Plush cost a bit extra, but we previously tested the Firm model and loved it. Its organic latex and coil construction provided lumbar support, temperature regulation, and pressure relief to the point where it got a near-perfect score. For Avocado’s holiday mattress sale, you can take 20 percent off your purchase, no code needed.

Wolf

Wolf mattresses are not ones you should overlook. Each time our team has tested a Wolf mattress, we were impressed with its quality and performance. The Wolf 13-Inch Memory Foam Hybrid Premium Firm Mattress is quite a name, but this hybrid mattress excels with temperature control thanks to a cooling cover, foams, and coils. It’s just firm enough that you can move around without feeling stuck, and it also maintains spinal alignment. Wolf’s Cyber Week mattress sale is now live, with 15 percent off on your purchase.

Tiami

Tiami’s Luxury Hybrid has a firmer feel with cushioning memory foam layers and unique, foam-capped coils that help relieve pressure around your joints. It’s a specialty mattress through and through, which makes Tiami’s current mattress sale even more enticing. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen all year, thanks to its Cyber Monday promo at 40 percent off, no code needed.

Essentia

Essentia

Tatami Organic Mattress

You’re searching high and low for an organic mattress, but not just any organic mattress will do—it has to be vegan as well. (Many organic mattresses aren’t vegan due to the inclusion of wool.) For those who aim to live (and sleep!) by vegan protocols, Essentia’s Tatami mattress is right up your alley. It’s got organic cotton, organic latex, and organic foam all meant for pressure relief, temperature control, and strong lumbar support. Essentia is offering 25 percent off mattresses plus two free pillows as part of its holiday mattress sale. (Discount reflected in cart.)

Naturepedic

Naturepedic checks a lot of boxes with its EOS Classic mattress. It’s got customizable firmness on each side of the mattress. It’s one of the best mattresses we’ve tested to date. It’s also made with organic materials, making it one of the best organic mattresses we’ve come across. Naturepedic is offering 20 percent off sitewide and throwing in a free accessories bundle (organic mattress protector and pillows) on orders of $699 or more.

Leesa

Leesa’s Sapira Chill Hybrid ranks as one of the best mattresses by our account (more specifically, the best hybrid mattress), thanks to its cooling and lumbar support. It features a quilted pillow top with a cooling cover, along with pressure-relieving foams and pocketed coils. There are three firmness levels to choose from, but if you have back pain, you may want to opt for something firmer to support spine alignment. Plus, the Sapira Chill’s pillow top will soften things out a bit. While the price for this mattress isn’t the lowest we’ve seen this year, Leesa’s holiday sale is pretty good. You can take 30 percent off select mattresses, including the Sapira Chill.

Plank

For those who feel like a mattress is never quite firm enough, the Plank Firm is one of the team’s favorite beds that delivers a truly firm feel. It’s actually dual-sided, with one side “firm” and the other “extra firm,” so you can get the utmost, unyielding support. It’s been a hit with some of our testers who have back pain and look to firm beds to maintain spine alignment. To keep your wallet balanced, too, Plank is offering 30 percent off with code BFRIDAY30.

Cyber Monday Bedding Deals

No new mattress setup would be complete without sheets, pillows, bed frames, and sleep accessories. Cyber Monday is the time to get the best of the best, and these are deals we’re pretty hyped about.

Thuma Signature Bed Frame

Courtesy of Thuma

We’re big Thuma fans around here, from the Thuma Hybrid mattress to its Classic Bed frame (review coming soon!). We wish these two items were on sale for Black Friday, but Cyber Monday is a new day with new opportunities, like a sale on Thuma’s Signature Bed frame. Just like the Classic Bed, the Signature Bed frame is a cinch to set up and comes in either soft Italian felt or performance linen. Thuma is offering up to 22 percent off the Signature Bed as part of its Cyber Monday sale.

Casper Sleep Hybrid Snow Pillow

Casper

Hybrid Snow Pillow (Standard)

Another Casper sale you’ll find on Amazon, reviewer Nena Farrell found this pillow had a lower loft paired with a firmer feel. These are both aspects that stomach sleepers need from their pillows to prevent disturbing their neck’s cervical alignment and causing trouble with their lower backs.

My Green Mattress

Organic Latex Topper

You’re looking for a quick hack to revitalize your mattress’s support—before your guests arrive for the holidays. Mattress toppers can help buy you some time while increasing pressure relief, support, and overall comfort. This organic latex mattress topper from My Green Mattress has two inches of firmer-feeling, GOLS-certified Dunlop latex. For the holiday, you can get 15 percent off sleep accessories, including this organic latex topper.

Helix Sleep

GlacioTex Premium Mattress Topper

Here’s another hypothetical for you, based on personal experience: You know someone living in a dorm, and their mattress just straight-up sucks. Sleep’s crucial for these scholars, and Helix’s GlacioTex Memory Foam Topper is designed to provide pressure relief and temperature regulation to help elevate the lowliest of dorm-room beds (aka, a glorified piece of foam wrapped in a tarp). Use code WIRED27 for 27 percent off this topper.

Cozy Earth

We’re covering all sorts of Cozy Earth deals right now. But these bamboo sheets are so lovely, we’re giving them a shoutout twice. If you’re still struggling with gift ideas, these sheets are a cooling, luxurious option the recipient will use often (at least, I’d sure use them). Plus, the limited edition seasonal patterns are too whimsical to pass up. These sheets are currently 45 percent off and are selling out quickly.

Brooklinen

If you crave the experience of being wrapped in something similar to a fluffy cloud, chances are you’d really like a down comforter. WIRED reviewer Louryn Strampe likened Brooklinen’s all-season down comforter to something you’d see in a hotel, with its starchy cover and fluffy fill. Brooklinen is continuing its 25 percent off sitewide sale from Black Friday through Cyber Week.

Original Adjustable Crescent Pillow

The first time I technically tested this crescent pillow was in a friend’s guest room, and I’ve been a fan ever since. This adjustable pillow’s bottom has an arch, allowing your shoulders to press into the pillow and providing more cushion around your neck. You can also add fill (which comes in a separate bag) to make it firmer, or take some out to increase softness. You can take 25 percent off as part of its current sitewide sale.

I love a digital notebook. I write about them all year long here at WIRED, and it’s not often my favorites go on sale. (Or for any to go on sale, besides Amazon’s own sale events.) But this year, multiple digital notebooks I love are on sale for the biggest sale event of the year.

If you’ve thought about getting one of these for yourself, there’s truly no better moment. From reMarkable’s on-sale bundles to Kobo’s deals, you can shop five of the best digital notebooks we’ve ever tried right now at a lower price than you might find until next year. They’re a handy device just about everyone can enjoy, whether you want to digitally annotate your books or write out your grocery list without using a piece of paper.

Looking for more great sales to shop? Don’t miss our guides to the Best Amazon Device and Kindle Deals, Best Laptop Deals, the Absolute Best Cyber Monday Deals, and our liveblog.

Update Dec. 1: We updated prices, links, and deals, and added the Rocketbook Fusion Plus notebook.

The Best Digital Notebook Deals

Some of the best digital notebooks we’ve tried come from reMarkable, and one of reMarkable’s models always seems to reign supreme over our digital notebooks guide. While the Paper Pro Move is the newest model, the reMarkable Paper Pro that launched in September 2024 is my current all-around favorite. It’s not only powerful with tons of tools and an easy interface, but packs a color screen for colorful notes. It also has a gentle front light so that you can use it in darker environments. You can get the bundles on sale right now, so combine one of reMarkable’s markers and folio covers with a Paper Pro to get $50 off.

The best discount from reMarkable is actually for its older device and our previous top pick, the reMarkable 2. It doesn’t have a color screen or the front light, but you’ll get the reMarkable’s great software and options for accessories like the Keyboard Folio to use it like a laptop. The reMarkable 2 bundles are also on sale, so add on your favorite folio of choice on reMarkable’s website to get $70 off.

The Kobo Libra Colour is my favorite all-around e-reader with its color screen and page turner buttons, but you can add on a stylus to have it double as a digital notebook. It’s one of the more affordable options, and it’s a smaller screen than the rest of these, but I especially love that you can use the stylus to doodle on the books you’re reading (something you can’t do with the Kindle Scribe). It’s $30 off on Kobo’s site for Cyber Monday.

The second-generation Kindle Scribe isn’t the best digital notebook, but the long battery life (12 weeks!!) and convenient starting point of it being a Kindle I could already be reading on makes it a great go-to for casual notetakers and doodlers. It’s a good choice for Kindle and Amazon users, and there are new models due out this winter, but they likely won’t be as cheap as this one. (Especially since some of those new models will have color!)

If you like the idea of getting a Kobo e-reader that doubles as a digital notebook, you can go for more of a classic size with the larger Elipsa 2E. This one comes with the stylus, so you won’t have to add it on, and it’s $50 off.

The Rocketbook Fusion Plus digital planner and notebook is for those who don’t want to charge their notebook or give up on the whole “paper” experience. Take notes with the included, erasable Pilot Frixion Pen, scan photos of the pages into the app, and erase the whole thing with the damp microfiber cloth (also included). Fusion Plus is on its steepest discount of recent memory, and comes templates that range from monthly and weekly pages to project management and meeting notes.

If 2024 and 2025 were the years organisations felt the strain of tightening budgets, 2026 is the year those decisions will fully manifest in their cyber risk exposure. Across both the private and public sectors, years of belt-tightening have led to reduced headcount, ageing infrastructure and postponed modernisation. Analyst reports show growth in cyber security spending has slowed markedly and many security teams are operating with fewer specialists than they had three years ago. The cumulative effect of this means fewer defenders, slower detection and weakening resilience at a time when adversaries are escalating in both ambition and sophistication.

The past year has provided irrefutable proof of how these gaps translate directly into risk. A major supply-chain compromise of Oracle Cloud reportedly exposed millions of records and impacted more than 140,000 tenants. The Salesloft/Drift breach illustrated how attackers can exploit interconnected SaaS ecosystems to cascade access across multiple organisations. Meanwhile, Jaguar Land Rover’s cyber incident halted vehicle production and disrupted supply chains for weeks, demonstrating how even relatively mature, well-funded industries can be brought to a standstill by a single compromise. These incidents reveal a systemic weakening of defensive capacity and third-party oversight.

This is the backdrop against which 2026 begins, and the legacy of recent budget cuts will continue to degrade the defensive posture of many organisations. With smaller teams and constrained resources, adversaries will enjoy longer dwell times, greater freedom to move laterally and more opportunities to exploit unpatched systems. Supply-chain compromise and zero-day exploitation will remain primary attack vectors, especially in environments where patch cycles have slowed or asset inventories are incomplete. Compounding this is the fact that several national cyber bodies have themselves faced funding and workforce reductions, limiting their ability to coordinate incident response at scale. In short, the high-impact attacks of 2025 should not be viewed as peaks, unfortunately, but as early indicators of a worsening trend.

However, budget pressure is not the only factor reshaping the threat landscape. A parallel shift is emerging that is driven by a rise in what might be termed casual cyber aggression, outside the more predictable threats such as nation states or organised crime threat actors. Across the UK, several high-profile incidents in 2025 have been traced back to loosely affiliated individuals, often teenagers, wielding commodity hacking tools, rented botnets and downloadable exploit kits. These attackers are not motivated by complex financial schemes or geopolitical goals, instead drawn by curiosity, frustration, social validation or the mere thrill of notoriety.

This behaviour is being fuelled by two converging forces. First, the accessibility of attack tooling has increased dramatically. Automated scripts, ransomware-as-a-service platforms and AI-driven reconnaissance tools require minimal technical expertise, lowering the barrier to entry. Second, the volume of open source intelligence, from corporate data leaks to overshared social media profiles, has exploded. Executives, public figures and organisations leave digital footprints that can be assembled into highly persuasive social engineering campaigns. For would-be attackers, the pathway from idea to impact has never been shorter.

What appears to be eroding at the same time – maybe due to the frequency of attacks or complacency – is the perceived risk of consequence. Arrests and prosecutions for cyber offences remain rare relative to the scale of attacks; and within online communities where many of these individuals operate, reputation and bravado often outweigh caution. Combined with social disaffection and worsening economic pressures, hacking is becoming, for some, a form of digital expression by offering an accessible outlet with very real-world repercussions and very little perceived consequence.

In 2026 that will translate into an expectation of more erratic and attention-grabbing attacks by small groups or individuals using widely-available tools. While these incidents may lack technical sophistication, their public visibility and collateral impact, particularly when they target public services, transportation networks or major consumer brands, will make them strategically significant. They also risk eroding public trust in digital services at a moment when that trust is already fragile.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a look ahead without the mention of the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence in cyber security on top of everything. Back in 2020, predictions that AI would reshape defensive strategies seemed optimistic; today, they look understated. By 2025, an IBM report revealed more than two-thirds of organisations reported using AI in their cyber security programmes and nearly a third rely on it extensively. AI now underpins anomaly detection, automated response, threat-hunting and vulnerability management. But cyber criminals have adopted it just as aggressively. Research suggests that the majority of email-based attacks now incorporate AI, and AI-assisted ransomware campaigns are becoming the norm.

Generative AI has made it far easier to craft targeted phishing emails, credible social-engineering scripts and realistic deepfake impersonations. For high-value targets such as CEOs, the oversharing of personal and professional information online materially increases risk. And the growing maturity of agentic AI, those autonomous systems capable of multi-step tasks, introduces both powerful defensive opportunities and new avenues for attack.

Taking all of this into account, three trends stand out.

First, the knock-on effects of underinvestment will continue; i.e. fewer breaches overall, but those that do occur will be larger, more complex and more damaging due to longer dwell times and interconnected supply chains.

Second, casual cyber aggression will become more visible, testing societal resilience and challenging policymakers to rethink digital accountability.

Third, the AI arms race will accelerate on both sides, with defenders and attackers deploying increasingly autonomous systems, driving the next stage of the cat-and-mouse dynamic.

It’s fair to say that 2026 will not necessarily be the most catastrophic year in cybersecurity but it could be one of the most telling. The choices organisations make now, in restoring investment, rebuilding cyber skills and governing AI responsibly, will determine whether the curve bends towards resilience or further fragility.
