I've always been picky about my mattress — too soft and I'll toss and turn all night, but too hard and I'll wake up with back pain.
When I moved into a new apartment a few years ago, I knew that a mattress would be my biggest splurge. After shopping around for longer than I care to admit, I settled on the original Casper mattress.
Casper Sleep Foam Mattress, $738 (usually $995), Amazon
Four layers of foam make the mattress both firm and soft at the same time, so I'm able to get the support of a firmer mattress with the comfort of a softer top layer. And the open foam cells disperse heat, so I don't get too hot at night. I've had my mattress for almost three years now and it still looks and feels like the day I bought it.
Casper makes three lines of mattresses: The Essential, The Casper and The Wave. I have the Casper line, but all three of the company's mattresses have gotten rave reviews online.
Usually, Casper's queen-sized mattress costs $995 (still a steal compared to their other brands), but right now it's on sale for $738 on Amazon.
To me, a Casper mattress is worth the investment. Plus, it comes with a risk-free 100-night trial, so you can buy it, sleep on it for more than three months and send it back for a full refund if you hate it.
The brand's also offering a great deal on its Supima cotton sheet sets, and one of our editors is eyeing a few for herself.

According to the company, these sheets are four times stronger (read: more durable) than the industry average, and they include securing ties to keep the sheets from getting twisted up at night. How genius is that?
Whether you're looking for a new set of sheets or a whole new bed, now might be the time to invest. Who knows when this beloved mattress brand will be this inexpensive again?
