Looking for this year’s top Black Friday mattress deal? As a professional deal hunter and product tester who’s put the best mattresses through their paces, the one bed I would buy is the Awara Natural Hybrid. It’s on sale right now for an all-time low of $949 in a queen. Best of all, you don’t even have to wait until Black Friday to snag this deal because it’s live right now. There’s no telling how long this offer will last, but I reckon it’ll reappear during the Black Friday mattress deals on the day itself.
I’ve tested out the Awara personally and I’ll be sharing my thoughts in my upcoming review, but if you’re in the market for a quality organic mattress that won’t set you back too much financially, the Awara is it. It has a firm, responsive feel that’s great for combi sleepers, along with superb pressure relief for anyone dealing with joint or back pain. Plus, it comes with a full year’s trial and a lifetime warranty.
That said, Awara won’t suit everyone, especially if you’re a lightweight side sleeper or coupled with a restless partner. Thus, I’ve included several other deals you’ll want to keep an eye on – or shop TechRadar’s general mattress sales hub to find your dream bed at a low price.
Buy it if…
✅ You want a firmer, more responsive bed: Unlike memory foam, which has a sink-in sensation, latex subtly cradles your joints for ample pressure relief without feeling like your bed is ‘swallowing’ you. Plus, if you toss and turn, the Awara’s combo of latex and springs will make it easy to switch positions at night.
✅ You’re seeking your ‘forever mattress’: Latex mattresses can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance. Add to that the Awara’s forever warranty and you’re bound to enjoy your mattress for about a couple of decades. (Speaking from experience, my fellow testers and I were impressed with the Awara’s build quality.)
✅ You struggle with allergies and/or night sweats: Latex is a naturally breathable material that’s also resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew. Paired with an organic cotton-wool blend cover, the Awara will keep sleepers cool while providing relief for those with asthma and airborne allergies.
Don’t buy it if…
❌ You share a bed with a fidgety partner: The Awara’s responsive latex and springs combo means you’re prone to feeling your partner’s movements, which doesn’t bode well if they’re a restless sleeper. And since the Awara doesn’t come in a split king, couples might want to look elsewhere.
❌ You’re a side sleeper under 130lbs: If you’re petite – and especially a side sleeper – you’ll have a difficult time breaking in the Awara’s firmer surface. Consider a medium or plush bed instead, like the one in our Helix Midnight mattress review.
❌ You like sinking into your mattress: Latex is excellent for pressure relief, but it achieves that goal differently than memory foam. If you love being enveloped in comfort, the Awara’s subtle cradling won’t be enough for you. Instead, consider a memory foam mattress – check out our top pick in our Nectar mattress review.
Alternatives to consider
The Awara may be the right price for your budget but the wrong fit for your sleep preferences. Fortunately, there are several options if you want to find something else on sale…
