Labor Day Mattress Sales: These 28 Editor-Tested Beds Are On Sale Now

Although the holiday weekend is still a few weeks away, many Labor Day mattress sales are already live. Of the hundreds of best-selling models our mattress and sleep team has tested firsthand, more than a dozen are heavily discounted—including the Helix Midnight Luxe, our pick for the best mattress overall, and the Nectar Premier, our favorite memory foam mattress. Many 2025 Labor Day mattress sales are already live. Here are the best deals on Forbes Vetted tested ... More beds. Illustration: Forbes / Image: Retailer Mattress brands tend to host near-constant sales throughout the year, and it's not uncommon for them to kick off holiday events early. If you want to find the best price possible, you may want to hold off adding a mattress to your cart until Labor Day officially rolls around. But if you're looking for a solid deal on a bed that'll arrive ASAP, here's our curated list of best Labor Day mattress sales on models our editors have personally tested and approved. Our editors have tested over 200 beds, and many of our favorites are discounted ahead of Labor Day. See them below at a glance.

We named the Helix Luxe our favorite mattress overall this year after it received top marks across the board during our testing. Between its lofty 13.5-inch height, cozy pillow top and superior motion isolation, the mattress is a true crowd-pleaser. More Deal Information: Helix offered 30% off over a holiday weekend earlier this year, but this 27% discount matches the best offer we've seen from the brand since then. This luxurious hybrid mattress is ideal for couples who predominantly sleep on their sides or backs. (Heavier sleepers or folks who tend to sleep on their stomach may want to seek out a firmer bed.) It has a plush Euro top our testers loved, and cooling properties throughout that keep you cozy and cool through the night. More Deal Information: This model was available for $1,299 over Memorial Day, so it may be worth waiting for the official Labor Day weekend for a potential drop. This Bear mattress comes in soft, medium, and firm variations and offers excellent motion isolation and edge support, all factors that led our sleep editors to name it the best mattress for couples . If you tend to sleep hot, consider adding the Celliant-infused cover for an additional $195—the material can help regulate your body temperature during the night. More Deal Information: This matches the best price we've seen for the Bear Elite Hybrid model. Nectar updated its collection of mattresses earlier this year, with the Nectar Premier now sporting a more supportive and high-quality design. It still embodies the traditional memory foam feel many sleepers look for, but with added responsiveness, and its thick foams do an excellent job of isolating motion. Pro tip: We recommend upgrading to the hybrid model if you're an especially hot sleeper. More Deal Information: Nectar has increased the original price of this mattress two times in 2025, but we've yet to see it drop any further in price. Sleep Number's i8 model is packed with features to help hot (and noisy) sleepers. The entire mattress, from the cover to the foam, is designed to pull heat away from the body and allow for better ventilation. It also offers customizable firmness levels for each side of the bed. It can also adjust to your needs as you sleep and connect to a companion app to track your sleeping habits. More Deal Information: This bed was on sale for $2,799 over Memorial Day, so we recommend holding out in case there is an additional drop closer to the holiday weekend. If you're searching for the best soft mattress, we recommend the Amerisleep AS5. It was one of the softest beds we tested, and using code LD2025 will save you $800 on this model. We found that this model cradles your body nicely and offers excellent pressure relief for side sleepers' hips and shoulders. However, the design doesn't deliver great edge support, and our hot-sleeping tester noted a slight heat buildup. More Deal Information: Although Amerisleep regularly hosts sales for $500 off its beds, this is a rare chance to save up to $1,000, depending on the model. While many mattresses are designed to support 230 to 250 pounds per side, the Helix Plus supports 1,000 pounds total. That—combined with its pressure-relieving foam, ample edge support and price tag—secured its place as our best value mattress for heavy people. More Deal Information: This 27% deal is a regular offer for Forbes Vetted readers. Although it's one of the best prices we've seen for the brand, Helix offered 30% off earlier this year, so it may be worth waiting for an additional discount. Anyone looking for a particularly luxurious organic mattress should check out the cushy Botanical Bliss from PlushBeds. It comes with a 100-night trial and a lifetime warranty, and the mattress is certified by a variety of third-party organizations that back its overall quality and sustainability. More Deal Information: This discount has been live since Memorial Day, but it has yet to drop any further in price. Plush yet supportive, this classic mattress is our favorite pillow top design . It offers plenty of pressure relief and excellent edge support, plus comes capped with a cozy Euro pillow top. We found the bed to be slightly firmer than advertised, so keep that in mind as you select between its three firmness levels (luxury firm, firm and plus). More Deal Information: The WinkBed is frequently on sale, but it rarely drops further in price outside exclusive promotions with select publications. The Plank Firm is our top pick if you're looking for a firm bed . The mattress has a flippable design that offers two firmness levels in one, and hot sleepers can add a cooling cover for $150. In our tests, we rated the bed highly for its back support and its ability to keep spinal alignment neutral. More Deal Information: This is a relatively common offer from Plank. If you're willing to wait, we may see larger discounts closer to the holiday weekend. At 15 inches tall, the Nolah Evolution has a luxurious construction and stellar support. It comes in plush, luxury firm and firm options, so you can choose the best firmness level for your sleeping position. All models feature a cushy Euro topper, cooling materials and zoned coils that offer targeted support for different areas of your body. More Deal Information: The brand typically offers 35% off over holiday weekends. If you're interested in the extra savings, you may want to wait until Labor Day to shop. Hybrid mattresses are popular because they're an accommodating blend of memory foam and innerspring mattresses. The Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid has four layers of memory foam to provide pressure relief and a layer of zoned coils for bounce and support. This results in an on-top-of-the-bed, gentle hugging feel. You can also choose from plush, medium-firm or firm for your preferred comfort level. More Deal Information: Leesa offered 30% off select beds over July 4th, so you may be able to secure an additional discount if you're willing to wait. In our guide to the best mattresses , we rated this pick as the best cooling mattress. It has copper and gel-infused foams, plus 8 inches of airflow-promoting coils. After months of testing, we found that this mattress regulates temperature exceptionally well and prevents heat buildup. More Deal Information: Brooklyn Bedding offered 30% off this model over the July 4th holiday. If you don't need a bed right away, it may be worth waiting for an additional drop.

She's tested hundreds of mattresses and sleep products over the past three years and has a sleep science coach certification. What Month Has The Best Deals On Mattresses? In general, most holiday weekends offer similar mattress sales. (That includes Labor Day weekend.) That said, Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically bring about the absolute lowest prices of the year. If you don't mind waiting, you can often save an extra 5 to 10% around those holidays. How Do I Know Which Mattress Is Right For Me? The right mattress for you depends on a variety of factors, including your sleep style and your budget. Certain mattresses are designed to accommodate specific sleep positions, and some materials cost more than others. If you're looking for a middle-of-the-road option that can appeal to many people, our sleep editors named the Helix Midnight Luxe the best mattress overall after testing over 200 models. Is Labor Day The Best Time To Buy A Mattress? Labor Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a new mattress. Many top-rated mattress brands mark down their best-selling models over the holiday weekend (and most extend their sales beyond the holiday as well). After Labor Day, you likely won't see discounts as steep until Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

I've Tested Over 200 Beds—Here Are The Best 4th Of July Mattress Sales Still Live And Worth Shopping

Although Independence Day is officially over, many of the best 4th of July mattress sales are still going strong this weekend. In my career as a mattress editor, I've tested and evaluated over 200 beds; our assistant deals editor and co-author of this article, Jordan Thomas, has covered mattress deals and tracked prices across brands for five years. So despite the fact that many retailers offer some sort of discount most of the year, we're confidently able to recommend which deals are meaningful and worth your time. To that end, we've put together a list of the best 4th of July mattress sales that are still live after the holiday, including savings on my top recommendation for 2025, the Helix Midnight Luxe (currently 25% off). We also recommend considering brands like Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster—both luxury retailers that rarely offer discounts. The best extended 4th of July sales include discounts on our favorite beds we've tested. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER Whether you're a side sleeper in need of pressure relief or a stomach sleeper in search of a supportive and comfortable model, there's something for you on our list of the best extended 4th of July mattress deals. Below, we've shared the top mattress sales by retailer, if you've got a specific brand in mind; we've also listed out notable discounts on the best beds we've tested and rated in our extensive library of mattress-buying guides. Best Mattress Overall: Helix Midnight Luxe (Queen): Now $1,751, Was $2,399 (27% Off With Code FORBES27 ) Helix Midnight Luxe (Queen): Now $1,751, Was $2,399 (27% Off With Code ) Best Mattress For Side Sleepers: Nolah Evolution (Queen), Now $1,383, Was $2,127 (30% Off) Nolah Evolution (Queen), Now $1,383, Was $2,127 (30% Off) Best Memory Foam Mattress: Nectar Premier (Queen): Now $949, Was $2,249 (58% Off) Nectar Premier (Queen): Now $949, Was $2,249 (58% Off) Best Mattress For Pressure Relief: DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,499, Was $2,431 (38% Off) DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,499, Was $2,431 (38% Off) Best Cooling Mattress : Brooklyn Aurora Luxe (Queen), Now $1,585.50, Was $2,265 (30% Off) : Brooklyn Aurora Luxe (Queen), Now $1,585.50, Was $2,265 (30% Off) Best Mattress With A Pillow Top: The WinkBed (Queen): Now $1,499, Was $1,799 (17% Off) The WinkBed (Queen): Now $1,499, Was $1,799 (17% Off) Best Mattress For Back Pain: Saatva Classic (Queen): Now $1,699, Was $2,099 (19% Off) Saatva Classic (Queen): Now $1,699, Was $2,099 (19% Off) Best Firm Mattress: Plank Firm (Queen): Now $932, Was $1,332 (30% Off) Plank Firm (Queen): Now $932, Was $1,332 (30% Off) Best Mattress For Heavy Sleepers: Titan Plus Luxe (Queen): Now $1,119, Was $1,599 (30% Off) Titan Plus Luxe (Queen): Now $1,119, Was $1,599 (30% Off) Best Mattress For Couples: Bear Elite Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,457, Was $2,427 (40% Off) Bear Elite Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,457, Was $2,427 (40% Off) Best Mattress For Guest Rooms: Leesa Studio (Queen): Now $559, Was $799 (30% Off) Memory foam mattresses are known for their stellar pressure relief and are available in a range of firmnesses depending on foam density. While we primarily recommend these mattresses to side sleepers or those who enjoy a doughy feel, they can also work well for couples since the material absorbs movement, keeping your partner's tossing and turning from disturbing your rest. Here are some of our favorite memory foam mattresses that are on sale right now. The Nectar Premier can satisfy a variety of sleepers, and we speak from experience after extensively testing it (see our Nectar Premier review for more info). The memory foam contours around your shoulders and hips for deep pressure relief without making you feel stuck in the mattress. This makes it a bit more responsive than some classic memory foam models: "The foam takes a few moments to bounce back to normal, so it does make you work a little harder to switch, but it's not enough to disturb you at night,' says one tester. The bed sleeps a bit warm, so our editors recommend upgrading to the hybrid model if you're an especially hot sleeper. More Deal Information: This mattress has been updated and seen a price increase since 2024. Although the original model was priced at $1,499, the overall discount appears larger due to the price increase. If you're furnishing a spare room, the Leesa Studio mattress is a great option. Named our best overall mattress for guest rooms, it's extremely affordable but doesn't skimp on features, offering three cozy layers including a breathable cover to help prevent overheating. Our tester found the bed to be slightly softer than Leesa claims, but added that this discrepancy 'makes it suitable for just about any sleeping position.' More Deal Information: This price matches what we saw last July 4, so it's likely the lowest you'll find this holiday. If you're looking for more support and breathability, a hybrid mattress is a smart choice. By combining foam and coil layers, these models deliver the best of both materials—ample pressure relief, durability and airflow. With a wide range of firmness levels and comfort options, they're among our most recommended mattresses. Below are standout deals on some of our favorites. Our pick for the best mattress of 2025 overall, the Helix Midnight Luxe has a pillow-top design that accommodates back, side and lightweight stomach sleepers. It has a balanced feel that's soft and cradling without the sinking sensation you sometimes get from memory foam. One tester called it 'the perfect mix of support and comfort.' It scored well in every key performance category: pressure relief, ease of movement, edge support, motion isolation and cooling. More Deal Information: Helix offered a 30% discount in 2024, but it has yet to surpass 27% off in 2025, even over mattress-centric Memorial Day weekend sales. The original price of the mattress has also increased slightly in price from $2,374. After several rounds of testing, our editors crowed the Nolah Evolution the best mattress for side sleepers, thanks to its exceptional ability to provide pressure relief, support and responsiveness (a.k.a. a measure of how easy it is to change positions). We especially loved its huggable feel and thick foam layers, which are great for cushioning pressure points. However, it doesn't fully envelop you (like an all-foam bed would) thanks to the sturdy layer of coils underneath. More Deal Information: This mattress saw a similar 35% discount last July 4th, so if you're interested, now's a good time to snag it for less. If you are a true hot sleeper, the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe is our top recommendation for excellent temperature regulation. During testing, we were impressed with its cool-to-the-touch cover and plethora of active cooling features—of which there are five, one in nearly every layer. (For comparison, most competitor cooling beds only contain two to three.) Beyond its cooling capabilities, it's also an exceptionally well-balanced mattress, with thick, dense layers of foam supported by individually encased coils. In other words, it offers a great blend of support and comfort that caters to many sleep positions and needs. More Deal Information: Brooklyn Bedding typically offers discounts of up to 30% over major holidays, so this is likely the lowest price you'll find. Named the best mattress for pressure relief by our sleep editors, the DreamCloud Luxe offers a cushiony-yet-supportive feel. We rated it a 9 out of 10 for pressure relief during testing, thanks to its plush pillow top that one tester described as 'sleeping on a cloud that has structure to it.' The most recent design has also been updated with more cooling and pressure-relieving properties. We recently tested it and found the new design feels similar to the last, but it features better edge support. More Deal Information: This mattress dropped by an additional $200 last July 4, so you may want to hold off for a better offer closer to the official holiday. The original price of the mattress has also dropped slightly from $2,499. We recommend the Bear Elite Hybrid for sleepers who want a plush, hotel-like mattress with good edge support, temperature regulation and motion isolation. It's also our pick for the best hybrid mattress for couples. It comes in three different firmness levels so you can choose the best one for your needs. However, we found the medium model to be comfortable for every sleeping position during testing. More Deal Information: The price of this mattress increased from $2,305 in 2024. Despite the price increase, this year's sale is slightly larger than this time last year, where we saw a low of $1,499. If you loved a lifted, extra-supportive feel to your mattress, the Plank Firm is our top recommendation. It tested well for back and stomach sleeping, which isn't unusual for a firm mattress, although our testers also noted it provided comfort in all sleep positions. The Plank Firm is also a great choice for sleepers with back pain, according to one of our mattress testers who especially appreciated its supportive feel: 'I felt lifted and supported. What was really nice was that I could feel bits of my lower spine decompress, which was especially nice since I struggle regularly with lower back pain.' More Deal Information: This is a standard holiday offer from the brand and matches the price we saw last 4th of July. The top recommendation in our mattresses for back pain story, this innerspring hybrid design uses a dual-coil base with a luxe European-style pillow top to deliver a supportive and comfortable feel. It's available in three firmness levels, so you can find your perfect fit. That said, we've tested all three models and scored the luxury firm an 8 to 9.5 out of 10 for all sleeping positions. Saatva also offers a longer warranty period than many other brands as well as free white glove delivery and mattress removal. More Deal Information: A $400 offer is often common from Saatva around holidays, and this matches what we saw last July 4. The WinkBed is one of the most comfortable mattresses we've tested. Its plush and airy pillow top and superior motion isolation make it especially well suited to couples seeking a luxurious night of sleep. The design comes in four firmness levels, including a Plus model that's made for sleepers who weigh over 250 pounds. For those who like soft mattresses and routinely wake up with aches, we consider this model the best plush mattress for back pain, as well as our pick for the best pillow top mattress in 2025. More Deal Information: This is a standard offer from WinkBeds. The Titan Plus Luxe is a medium-firm, sturdy option for heavier individuals, and we named it the best mattress for heavy people in our dedicated roundup. It's a great choice for back, side and combination sleepers who need solid support and pressure relief. Our plus-size testers gave it high remarks for motion isolation and overall support. Learn more in our full Titan Plus Luxe review. More Deal Information: This is a typical offer from Brooklyn Bedding during holiday weekends and matches the discount on Titan's own site. If you're looking for a more sustainable option, the Avocado Green is made with natural materials like GOLS-certified latex foam and GOTS-certified New Zealand wool. It's our pick as the best organic mattress since it can support a variety of sleepers, including those who run hot or experience allergies. It comes in three firmness levels that range from extra soft to firm. See how they performed during testing in our Avocado Green Mattress review. More Deal Information: This is a standard offer from Avocado during the 4th of July. Yes, the 4th of July (and the day after) is usually a good time to buy a mattress. Holiday weekends typically bring about solid mattress sales. Last year, we saw offers comparable to those advertised around Presidents' Day and Memorial Day, which are often known for their mattress sales. Which Holiday Is The Best Time To Buy A Mattress? The 4th of July weekend comes with plenty of worthwhile mattress deals. However, the absolute best time to buy a new bed is typically during Cyber week—the fall shopping holiday is when we often see the lowest prices. That said, if you can't wait until November for a new mattress, holiday weekends are still a great time to shop for deals. What Is A Reasonable Price For A Good Quality Mattress? A reasonable price for a good quality mattress depends on a variety of factors, like your budget and preferred mattress type. On average, you can expect to spend a bit less on foam mattresses compared to their innerspring and hybrid counterparts. For instance, the Nectar Classic, our favorite affordable mattress overall, is a classic memory foam design that's available for under $700. However, if you're looking at an innerspring, hybrid or organic mattress, you could easily spend closer to $2,000, if not more. Our favorite mattress overall, the Helix Midnight Luxe, is a hybrid design that tested well across all categories. It's currently on sale for $1,751 with code FORBES27. How Do I Get The Best Price On A New Mattress? Before investing in a new bed, it's important to decide the type of mattress you need based key factors including your sleep position and comfort preferences. (For more help, see our best mattresses of 2025 buying guide.) Then, follow the steps below, and reference curated deals roundups like this one to ensure you're finding the best deals available. Figure Out What Type Of Mattress You Want The first step to finding the best price on a new mattress is knowing exactly what you're looking for. There are countless options available online and the search can feel overwhelming if you don't have an initial framework. Knowing your preferred material and firmness level can help narrow the scope and make the search less intimidating. If you're not sure what type of bed you want, consider browsing our mattress shopping guide. Once you decide on the general type of mattress you're looking for, it'll be easier to get an idea of what price range you can expect—for example, pillow-top mattresses tend to be more expensive than pure memory foam designs. Research The Bed's Price History Price history research takes time, but it will give you the best idea of what is (and isn't) a good deal. Mattress brands are almost always hosting sales. By searching recent events—like Memorial Day mattress sales or even 2024 Black Friday mattress sales—you'll be able to see how low a bed has dropped in the past year. This can help you determine whether the current offer is out of the ordinary. Keep in mind that some retailers will change their beds' MSRPs between sales, which can impact the overall discount you see advertised. You'll also note, we have added relevant price history to each of the mattress options above. Take Advantage Of Special Offers If you're choosing between two similar deals, it's time to get granular. Special offers like lifetime warranties, ample trial periods and free white glove delivery can add more value to one bed over another. Some brands also offer extras like a free bedding bundle with your mattress purchase. If you already intend to invest in new bedding, having it bundled into the cost of your mattress can help you save overall.

Following major sale weekends, it can be tempting to blindly opt for the largest discount you can find—or splurge on a luxurious model you don't really need based on an enticing, time-sensitive markdown. Here are some strategies our deals editors recommend to ensure that you end up with the best mattress deal for your needs. Avoid buyer's remorse by deciding on the maximum amount you're willing to spend before you start shopping. That way, you can narrow down your options from the get-go and you'll be less likely to overspend. There are plenty of good mattresses for less than $1,000, and one of our picks costs just $399 for a queen. There are a ton of mattress deals available the day after Memorial Day weekend, so knowing what type of bed you're looking for can make browsing the discounts feel less overwhelming. Here's a quick breakdown of the most common mattress types: Our deals team only recommends discounts that we believe are genuinely good offers, but if you want some additional peace of mind that you're getting a solid deal, consider doing some price history research. Check out some Black Friday and Presidents' Day mattress sale roundups to get an idea of what prices your desired bed has gone on sale for in the past. Some brands offer consistent discounts for months on end, so doing a bit of digging will help you figure out whether a model's post-Memorial Day price is actually lower than usual. Mattresses are expensive, but most online mattress retailers offer a 100-night risk-free trial (or longer), so you can try without fully committing; many brands also have an uncomplicated return policy for peace of mind. Some retailers, like DreamCloud and Nectar, give you an entire year to see if you like your new mattress. Our sleep team has over a decade of experience writing about and testing sleep products. Senior mattress and sleep editor, Bridget Chapman, and mattress and sleep editor, McKenzie Dillon, are both certified sleep science coaches and oversee the testing and creation of our robust catalog of mattress shopping guides. Assistant deals editor, Jordan Thomas, has over five years of experience covering online shopping and deals. She has spent the last three years at Forbes Vetted writing daily deals content, helping plan coverage of major sale events (like Memorial Day weekend) and tracking prices throughout the year to bring readers the best offers. Memorial Day 2025 fell on Monday, May 26. That said, many of the best Memorial Day mattress sales are set to run after the holiday has passed. Holiday weekends are a great time to score a discounted mattress, Memorial Day weekend included. If you missed out on shopping yesterday though, you can still take advantage of sales on our editors' favorite beds now. May is one of the best months to buy a mattress. We track prices year-round and have found that Memorial Day sales offer some of the lowest prices of the year—aside from the week after Thanksgiving. September (during Labor Day weekend) and November (particularly Black Friday) are also good months to buy a mattress. If your current setup is causing your sleep to suffer now, you may want to replace your mattress sooner rather than later. In addition to shopping during major holidays, another pro tip for saving on a mattress is to look for discounts on bundles. Some mattress brands offer special prices when you buy a bed frame and mattress together. You can also consider shopping for an older (but still well-rated) mattress model. Many brands will discount last year's designs as newer models are released. Historically, on holidays like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day, we tend to see mattress discounts of around 20% to 50% off. However, Black Friday and Cyber Monday usually bring the absolute lowest prices of the year—you'll generally see most popular mattresses marked down by 35% or more. When it comes to mattresses, many of the best discounts are still going strong the day after Memorial Day. This includes, extended sales from our sleep team's favorite brands: Helix, Nectar, DreamCloud, Saatva and others. Although some of these sales continue until early June, don't wait too long to shop. The next time we'll see steep markdowns is July 4th and Labor Day.
