It’s not easy to answer, “How much does a mattress cost?” because there are so many factors that contribute to the price. Here are a few reasons you might pay more or less for a mattress depending on your preferences.
- Size: Generally, the larger the mattress, the more you will pay. This happens because larger mattresses use more materials than their smaller counterparts.
- Brand: Some companies sell affordable mattresses to buyers while others charge more for luxury sleep experiences. While searching for a new mattress, you will likely find consumer priced options, premium mattress brands, and luxury options available. Prices will increase respective to the brand’s tier.
- Construction: Different mattress types cost more. You might pay more for a memory foam mattress compared to a hybrid or innerspring model. This is because the different types of mattress constructions require different materials with varying prices.

Mattress Pricing by Tier
You can start to form an estimate of how much does a mattress cost by looking at the different pricing tier levels. Most mattress brands fall into one of three categories:
★ Consumer: These are base-model mattresses that are designed for most customers. You can find mattresses for less than $1,000 in this category. It is possible to find standard mattresses that are still comfortable to sleep on.
★ Premium: These are mid-tier mattresses. They are made from a higher quality than the consumer models and have extra features like cooling memory foam or motion absorption.
★ Luxury: These are the highest-end mattresses. They have as many features as possible and are made from the best materials. They are also the most expensive.
Even if you ask, “How much does a full-size mattress cost?” you will still get three different answers depending on whether you want a consumer, premium, or luxury model. This is why it is important to consider what brand you are purchasing your mattress from in order to ensure you get the best price possible.
