Costco is a store that has it all, from diamond rings to pastries, and yes, even mattresses! Utilize your membership with special offers and savings that are only available through Costco. Costco carries top mattress brands like Tempur-Pedic, Beautyrest, and many more, so you won’t be missing out on quality sleep.

While Costco has a good selection, we also wanted to highlight non-Costco alternatives that offer similar performance (or better) for you to compare. Whether you have a current Costco membership or not, this article can help you find the right bed for you.

How We Chose the Best Costco Mattresses

Our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches have reviewed hundreds of mattresses, using proprietary analysis and hands-on testing to establish easy-to-understand scores. In addition to an overall score, we measure subscores for support, edge support, cooling, motion transfer, durability, trial period, and warranty.

When choosing the best Costco mattresses, we considered mattresses currently sold in Costco stores and online. Then, we narrowed our list down by considering the factors above. Since Costco has a limited selection of mattress brands and requires a membership to purchase through their store, we also included alternatives from other online retailers available without a Costco membership.

Best Luxury Costco Mattress – Kirkland Signature Lakeridge Mattress

Pros of the Kirkland Signature Lakeridge Mattress

Cooling and supportive

White glove delivery and old mattress removal included

Medium firmness can suit a wide range of sleepers

Cons of the Kirkland Signature Lakeridge Mattress

Limited sizes available

May be too firm for some side sleepers

Our Expert’s Take

Stearns & Foster, a brand that’s been in the mattress business since 1846, designed the Kirkland Signature as a luxury option that balances cushioning comfort with targeted support. Plus, plenty of cooling upgrades. The top panel of the 14.5-inch hybrid mattress is made with Tencel, a breathable and moisture-wicking natural fabric. Two comfort layers, one gel and one memory foam, offer soft contouring and pressure relief. Just below is a sturdy layer featuring IntelliCoil technology. These individually-wrapped coils respond to your body for support right where you need it. 

This combination of materials, along with its medium-firm feel, makes the Kirkland Signature suitable for a wide range of sleepers. It’s only available in Queen, King, and California King sizes, but delivery and set up are included. Costco will even haul away your old mattress and box spring for free.

Our Favorite Alternative Luxury Costco Mattress – Saatva Classic

If you aren’t a Costco member, the Saatva Classic is a good alternative to the Kirkland Signature. It’s one of the most popular online luxury hybrid mattresses, combining a soft yet stable Euro pillow top with pocketed coils for contouring and support. The Saatva Classic also allows you to choose between several height and firmness options. The Luxury Firm comfort level of the Classic likely comes closest to the medium firmness of the Kirkland Signature, but it may veer a little firmer if you have a lighter bodyweight that doesn’t compress the materials as much.

When we tested the Saatva Classic, we loved its traditional innerspring feel that’s both responsive and cushioning. We found that its breathable organic cotton cover helped prevent the top of the mattress from retaining too much heat. Like the Kirkland Signature, the Saatva Classic should be a good fit for many hot sleepers.

Saatva also offers white glove delivery and old mattress removal. The company also has a 365-day sleep trial, which gives you plenty of time to decide if the mattress is right for you. On the downside, all refunds or exchanges during the trial period have a $99 transportation fee.

Best Costco Mattress for Pressure Relief – TEMPUR-Contour Supreme

Pros of the TEMPUR-Contour Supreme

Firm support works well for back and stomach sleepers

Excellent motion isolation

Comfortable memory foam feel without feeling the “stuck” sensation

Cons of the TEMPUR-Contour Supreme

Probably not soft enough for side sleepers

Higher price point

No “hugged” sensation of traditional memory foam

Our Expert’s Take

If pressure relief is your goal, a firm memory foam mattress can do the trick. The TEMPUR-Contour Supreme is the firmest mattress in Tempur-Pedic’s line-up, so it’s likely a good fit for most back and stomach sleepers. The 11.5-inch mattress helps support the spine to keep it comfortably aligned in both sleeping positions which may help reduce aches and pains. Couples should also find the mattress a good option since its good motion isolation can keep your partner’s movements from waking you up.

While Tempur-Pedic is known for its proprietary memory foam, the firm feel of this mattress lacks the traditional “hugged” sensation of the material. Instead of feeling like you’re sleeping “in” the mattress, which some people may appreciate, the firm memory foam gives you the sensation that you’re “on” it. For that reason, the TEMPUR-Contour isn’t a great choice for side sleepers, who probably won’t get enough contouring around their hips and shoulders.

Read our TEMPUR-Contour Supreme review.

Our Favorite Alternative Costco Mattress for Pressure Relief – Nectar

The Nectar mattress doesn’t match the TEMPUR-Contour Supreme in firmness, but it is a good choice if you’re looking for pressure relief. The medium-firm mattress has several plush layers that give it a slow-moving feel and close contour to the body. This cushioning could help alleviate pain in the shoulders and hips, which makes it suitable for side sleepers. Back sleepers should find sufficient support, but heavier stomach sleepers in particular will likely find themselves sinking in too far to be properly supported.

The plush foam in the Nectar also gives it the traditional “hugged” sensation of memory foam. In other words, you’ll feel yourself slowly sinking into the uppermost layer as the mattress conforms to your shape. 

Nectar mattresses ship compressed and rolled in a box, which means you’ll be setting it up on your own. The company also offers a 365-night sleep trial.

Best Affordable Costco Mattress- Comfort Tech

Pros of the Comfort Tech Serene

Inexpensive

CertiPUR-US certified

Two firmness choices

Cons of Comfort Tech Serene

May sleep too warm for some people

May not be supportive enough for some kinds of sleepers

No white glove delivery available

Our Expert’s Take

This affordably priced foam mattress comes in standard sizes from Twin to California King. Two foam layers are intended to deliver comfort, support and durability. On the top layer, comfort foam uses microscopic air bubbles for uplifting and pressure-relieving support. It also isolates motion well to minimize nighttime disruptions. The high-resiliency support foam below adds stability, structure, and additional support to keep you comfortable in different sleep positions.

While the Comfort Tech Serene mattress has a moisture-wicking cover, it lacks the natural breathability of a hybrid mattress. On the plus side, the mattress comes in a choice of two firmnesses (medium and firm). The foam layers are CertiPUR-US-certified, which means they don’t contain toxic materials. It’s also made in America. Pricing is affordable compared to industry standards, too. A Queen-size Comfort Tech Serene mattress costs less than $500, even before Costco discounts.

Our Favorite Alternative Affordable Costco Mattress – Helix Midnight

While the Helix Midnight is a reasonably priced mattress for its quality, it’s not as cheap as the Comfort Tech Serene. A Queen-size Helix Midnight is priced at just under $1,000, but it does offer better durability and a 10-year warranty.

This medium-firm hybrid mattress is Helix’s most popular model. It offers a similar balance of comfort and support as the Comfort Tech serene, as well as excellent motion isolation. That’s due in part to up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils. Reinforced coils down both lengthwise sides give the mattress support all the way to the edge. 

Hot sleepers should appreciate the enhanced breathability of this hybrid construction. Soft and cushioning foams in the uppermost layers are cradling and supportive, making this mattress a great option for side sleepers in particular.

Best Costco Mattress for Back Sleepers – Beautyrest Silver

Pros of the Simmons Beautyrest Silver

Excellent motion isolation

Designed to minimize heat retention for cooler sleep

Reasonably priced

Cons of the Simmons Beautyrest Silver

No choice of firmness

Limited mattress sizes available

May be too firm for some people

Our Expert’s Take

The Beautyrest Silver is a medium-firm hybrid mattress and one of the brand’s most affordable options. It’s designed to actively cool you down with moisture-wicking fabric in the cover and gel-infused memory foam in the comfort layer. Just below, pocketed coils offer flexible support while also isolating motion transfer.

The combination of materials delivers the pressure-relieving comfort of memory foam without retaining excessive heat, which can be an issue in many memory foam mattresses. The medium-firm feel and contouring gel layer mean excellent lumbar support, making this a good mattress for back sleepers in particular.

Costco offers free white-glove delivery for the Beautyrest Silver, and removal of your old mattress is also included.

Read our Beautyrest Silver mattress review.

Our Favorite Alternative Costco Mattress for Back Sleepers – DreamCloud Original

The DreamCloud is another good mattress for back sleepers. This hybrid mattress combines high-quality materials, including a cashmere-blend cover, gel-infused memory foam, and individually-wrapped coils, for a better night’s sleep. It has a medium-firm feel and plenty of lumbar support for back sleepers, who will also benefit from the gentle cushioning around their hips.

On the downside, the DreamCloud doesn’t isolate motion particularly well, so it may not be the best choice for couples who are easily disturbed. And while it’s on the affordable end for hybrid mattresses compared to industry standard, it’s more expensive than the Beautyrest Silver.

DreamCloud does offer a generous 365-day sleep trial and a lifetime warranty, though, so you can try it for yourself risk-free.

Best Hybrid Costco Mattress – Brentwood Home Simply Modern

Pros of the Simply Modern mattress

Hybrid construction for balanced support and comfort

CertiPUR-US certified foams

Affordably priced

Cons of the Simply Modern mattress

No choice of firmness

No choice of height

Limited sizes available

Our Expert’s Take

The Simply Modern mattress is constructed like a luxury hybrid for a third (or less) of the price. The mattress has four layers of foams and coils. Gel-infused memory foam helps dissipate heat, isolate motion, and relieve pressure point pain by evenly distributing your weight against the mattress. In the contouring support layer, up to 975 individually wrapped coils respond to your movements and encourage airflow.

The mattress is made with CertiPUR-US certified non-toxic foams, a naturally-derived fire barrier instead of chemical flame retardants and fiberglass, and uses recycled steel in its coils. It has a medium-firm feel that works well for different kinds of sleepers. Plus, the Simply Modern mattress comes with an Infinity Warranty that protects against defects for the entire time you own it. On the downside, the mattress is only available in Queen, King, and California King sizes.

Our Favorite Alternative Hybrid Costco Mattress – The WinkBed

The Winkbed is a popular hybrid mattress sold in four firmness levels, including a model specifically designed for heavier sleepers. The range of options makes this a great option for different kinds of sleepers.

The WinkBed is made with a Euro-style pillow top, which gives it a plush, cushioning feel. CertiPUR-US certified, gel-infused foam in this layer helps with cooling. The cover of the mattress is made with Tencel, a naturally-derived material that is both breathable and moisture-wicking. In the support layer, individually-wrapped coils are zoned for greater support in the center of the mattress, right where sleepers need it most.

The 14-inch mattress comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty.

Best Memory Foam Costco Mattress – Novaform

Pros of the Novaform

Reasonable price point

Gel-infused for cooler sleep

Choice of three firmness levels

Cons of the Novaform

Limited sizes available

No white-glove delivery available

Poor edge support

Our Expert’s Take

This 14-inch gel memory foam mattress is designed to combat heat retention while still offering the contouring benefits of this material. The cover is made with temperature-regulating fabric that feels cool to the touch, while the uppermost comfort layer is made with gel-infused memory foam to nix body heat build-up. The support and base layers add support and stability. While the memory foam isolates motion nicely, it is lacking in edge support. That can be an issue for sleepers who like to stretch out in bed or people who need a sturdy surface to help them get in and out of bed.

The mattress is available in Queen, King, and California King sizes only. Choose from plush, medium, and firm options to customize the support layer and best accommodate your preferred sleep style. Back and stomach sleepers will benefit from the medium and firm support levels, while side sleepers and fans of ultra-soft mattresses should do well with the medium and plush options.

The Novaform uses CertiPUR-US certified foams and comes with a 20-year warranty.

Our Favorite Alternative Memory Foam Costco Mattress – Nolah Original

The Nolah Original is a foam mattress sold for a value price. It’s made with a foam that the brand calls AirFoam. It’s similar to memory foam in terms of pressure relief, but it’s very responsive and doesn’t retain heat in the same way as a traditional foam mattress. Unlike the Novaform, the Nolah mattress doesn’t come with a choice of comfort levels. 

It has a medium-firm feel and accommodates both back and side sleepers nicely, with plenty of lumbar support and cushioning. It also offers reasonable edge support for an all-foam mattress. The Nolah Original mattress comes in standard sizes from twin to California king. It has a 120-night home trial and a lifetime warranty that covers manufacturing defects.

Best Costco Mattress for Heavyweight Sleepers – Sealy Posturepedic 

Pros of the Sealy Posturepedic

Cooling design

Excellent edge support

Good motion isolation

Cons of the Sealy Posturepedic

No choice of firmness

Limited sizes available

No white-glove delivery available

Our Expert’s Take

The Sealy Posturepedic is a popular mattress with a balanced foam feel. It has a hybrid construction, active cooling upgrades, and durable coils that offer support from edge to edge, which makes it a good choice for sleepers who weigh over 230 lbs. The mattress has a medium feel, so it’s a good compromise for couples with different ideas of comfort. Keep in mind that body weight affects how firm a mattress feels, so heavier sleepers may find it’s on the softer side.

Hybrid mattresses generally circulate air better than all-foam mattresses, and the Sealy Posturepedic takes cooling even further with its knit cover. It’s made with cool-to-the-touch fibers. It’s also finished with a protective coating to protect against stains and odors.

The mattress offers impressive edge support thanks to a greater number of encased coils around the perimeter. That makes it easier to get in and out of bed while also maximizing the sleep surface, another feature heavyweight sleepers might appreciate.

Read our Sealy Posturepedic mattress review.

Our Favorite Alternative Costco Mattress for Heavy Sleepers – Plank Firm

Heavyweight stomach sleepers need a firmer mattress to ensure the hips don’t sag, which can put pressure on the lower back. In that case, the Plank Firm is a great option. It’s a flippable foam mattress with two options: firm and extra firm. Body weight affects how firm a mattress feels, so heavier sleepers might enjoy the options in this two-in-one mattress.

Side sleepers in any weight group will likely find the Plank far too firm. It lacks cushioning, so there’s no “give” around the shoulders and hips. It also doesn’t isolate motion particularly well, either. The Plank isn’t the most breathable mattress, but there is an optional upgrade to a cooling cover, however, which can help prevent overheating.

Best Costco Mattress for Side Sleepers – Leesa Legend

Pros of the Leesa Legend

Excellent lumbar support for back sleepers

Good pressure relief for side sleepers

Sleeps cool

Cons of the Leesa Legend

Lacks support for stomach sleepers

May be too soft for some people

Lacks the slow-moving feel of memory foam

Our Expert’s Take

Side sleepers need a mattress that’s supportive enough to maintain spinal alignment, but soft enough to cradle the hips and shoulders. These spots may lead to pressure point pain on surfaces that don’t offer enough “give.” The Leesa Legend is an all-foam mattress with a balanced feel. It’s soft, thanks to a bouncier upper foam layer, but contouring, thanks to the memory foam in the second layer. The combination is ideal for most side sleepers. 

The upper layer responds quickly and is designed for breathability, so you shouldn’t get excessively warm during the night. But if you love the slow-moving feel of memory foam, you won’t find that here. Below the comfort layers is a firm, durable polyfoam that boosts support and stability. Together, these layers make the Legend a great option for side sleepers.C

There are a few drawbacks worth keeping in mind. The mattress offers decent motion isolation, but it’s lacking in edge support. You can test the Leesa Legend to see if it works for you with a 100-night sleep trial.

Read our Leesa Legend mattress review.

Our Favorite Alternative Costco Mattress for Side Sleepers – Bear Elite Hybrid

This luxurious hybrid mattress comes with a choice of three firmness levels. Like the Leesa Legend, it has a balanced foam feel, but the addition of a zoned coil layer makes it more responsive and supportive. Side sleepers will appreciate this support system, which helps cushion the hips and shoulders to prevent pressure point pain.

It’s also a cooler pick if you’re a hot sleeper. Copper-infused memory foam helps minimize heat retention and adds antimicrobial benefits for a cleaner mattress. The mattress has a 120-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty.

Best Cooling Costco Mattress- Sleep Science Bamboo Cool Mattress

Pros of the Sleep Science Bamboo Cool Mattress

CertiPUR-US certified

Zip-off, machine-washable cover

Designed for cooling sleep

Cons of the Sleep Science Bamboo Cool Mattress

No choice of firmness

Limited sizes available

No white-glove delivery available

Our Expert’s Take

This Sleep Science mattress is an all-foam option constructed with cooler nights in mind. Bamboo charcoal-infused memory foam absorbs moisture and dissipates odor, while the gel-infused memory foam helps minimize heat retention. Air channels in the base layer also improve airflow, which can be an issue in all-foam mattresses. 

The mattress also features Wedge edge support. This is designed to reinforce the perimeter to improve edge support—another issue that often plagues foam mattresses—while also extending the life of the mattress. There’s also a zipper sewn into the top half of the mattress. You can remove the cover for easy cleaning right at home, which isn’t a common feature in mattresses.

One drawback to the Sleep Science mattress is its limited sizing. It’s only available in Queen, King, and California King sizes.

Read our Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress review.

Our Favorite Alternative Cooling Costco Mattress – Brooklyn Bedding Aurora

If cooler sleep is the goal, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora is a good option. It’s one of the coolest mattresses on the market, thanks to a breathable cover and gel-infused foam. The mattress has a TitanCool cover, which is soft and breathable with a cool-to-the-touch feel. It also helps dissipate heat. The upper layers are infused with copper and gel for additional heat dissipation. Finally, the support layer of zoned coils encourages airflow.

All together, the layers in the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora do a great job of preventing overheating throughout the night. But the company didn’t sacrifice comfort or support in the process. This hybrid is a responsive and supportive mattress that’s easy to move around on. You can put it to the test at home with a 120-day sleep trial.
