So you’re looking for a memory foam mattress, but you don’t have much money to spend? Here are some great ideas for inexpensive memory foam mattresses.
Memory Foam Mattresses Under $200
Made by Best Price Mattress, this 6 inch memory foam mattress is a steal at under $200 — truly a cheap memory foam mattress. This 6 inch mattress contains one inch of memory foam on top of two inches of soft polyurethane foam. Both those layers sit on a base layer of supportive foam. Since the top layer is pretty thin (1 inch) this mattress feels on the firmer side. However, it’s still quite soft, and the memory foam contours to your body. The bed comes in twin, full, and queen size and is perfect for an apartment, dorm room, guest bedroom, adolescent’s room, second home, RV bed, and the list goes on and on.

Memory Foam Beds Under $300
The LUCID mattress by LinenSpa is under $300, even for king size. The queen memory foam and king memory foam mattresses feature 8 inches of foam. The top 2 inches is memory foam, and the rest is a supportive base layer. Like the mattress above, this one feels a bit on the firm side which will be perfect for back sleepers and those who prefer such a mattress. However, the 2 inches of memory foam are a little bit softer and more comfortable than the one inch of the above mattress.
Don’t forget that this mattress comes with a 20 year warranty — something most mattress companies wouldn’t even think of offering.

Memory Foam Beds Under $500
Finally, there’s the Sleep Innovations 10- and 12- inch Sure Temp foam mattresses. These models feature 3 inches and 2.5 inches, respectively, of memory foam on the top, with the rest of the mattress being made of a supportive foam. They’re both exceptionally comfortable and, of course, much more affordable than most other foam mattresses.
Honestly, having slept on this mattress, it compares to much more expensive foam mattresses, not to mention innerspring mattresses that have fancy “pillowtops” and cost in the thousands of dollars. These mattresses are great for any purpose, including using it as your primary mattress in the master bedroom.

Shipping
Unlike traditional spring mattresses which are rigid and tough to ship, all the mattresses on this page come to your house folded up tightly. The Sleep Innovations mattresses are the largest and bulkiest, but even they come in a relatively small box (about 80 pounds). This means it’s easier for you to receive and set up your mattress quickly. Not to mention it costs much less to ship — Amazon doesn’t even charge extra.
Quality of Foam
Be aware that less expensive foam mattresses will necessarily contain lower quality foam. This isn’t an issue for many people, so if you have reasonable expectations you’ll probably be happy. However, whereas a Tempur-Pedic mattress will last 20 years of use, these will probably need to be replaced before that.
Conclusion
Most people know about the benefits of memory foam for reducing pain when you wake up from sleeping. Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, and pain from arthritis can all be helped by sleeping on one of these beds. A bigger secret, though, is that not only are these beds great for just about everybody who wants a more comfortable bed, but some models are also quite affordable. Granted, you won’t be getting a top quality mattress, but for many people a comfortable bed that lasts for several years at these prices is a great value.
The Mattress Reporter recommends the above mattresses for anybody looking for a good value, low price memory foam mattress.
