The Best 4th Of July Mattress Sales That Are Already Live
Although it's only mid-June, many 4th of July mattress sales are already underway. Our sleep editors have tested hundreds of mattresses, and many of their all-time favorite models—like the DreamCloud Premier Rest Hybrid and Nectar Premier—are on sale for up to 60% off ahead of the holiday weekend. We've rounded up all of the best early 4th Of July mattress sales you can shop ahead of the holiday. Whether you're looking for a simple mattress to furnish a guest room or a luxurious pillow top design for yourself, these 4th of July mattress sales will help you score your ideal sleep setup for less. We've rounded up the top early sales by retailer and outlined the best deals on a variety of sleep expert-approved beds. If you're a side sleeper or back sleeper looking for pressure relief, a memory foam mattress is the way to go. The material is also a good option for couples, since the motion isolation makes it easier to ignore your partner's movements throughout the night. Here are some of our favorite models that are on sale right now. Nectar The crowd-pleasing Nectar Premier will satisfy a variety of sleepers. The memory foam contours around your shoulders and hips for deep pressure relief. It's also 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. Tempur-Pedic Our editors' pick for the best firm cooling mattress, the Tempur-LuxeBreeze is an excellent option for hot sleepers seeking a more supportive bed. When we tried it ourselves, it offered impressive motion isolation and temperature regulation. Plus, it comes in three firmness levels, including a medium hybrid design. The brand also offers free delivery and a 10-year warranty. More Deal Information: Although the percentage off is a bit lackluster, this $500 discount matches the one we saw over the holiday weekend in 2024. Siena A great option for back and stomach sleepers, this memory foam design is firm enough to keep your spine in alignment but soft enough to relieve pressure on the knees and hips. Testers described the model as dense, firm and lifted, and also rated it highly for motion isolation. More Deal Information: Both the sale price and original price of this mattress have decreased since last July. Over the 2024 holiday weekend, the Siena was on sale for $399 from $799. Leesa If you're furnishing a spare room, we love the Leesa Studio mattress. 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 mattress dropped to $559 last July 4, so it may be worth holding out for a slightly higher discount. For those seeking a bit more support or breathability, a hybrid bed is a good option. They're typically recommended for hot sleepers and those who suffer from back or joint pain. Here are some discounts on the hybrid mattresses our sleep editors recommend. Helix Our pick for the best mattress overall, the Helix Midnight Luxe has a pillow-top design that accommodates a variety of sleepers. The bed has a 'just right' 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.' 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. DreamCloud The best mattress for pressure relief, the DreamCloud Premier Rest is a balanced bed that supports just about every sleeping style. We ranked the bed a 9 out of 10 for pressure relief during testing, thanks to its plush pillow top that had one tester describing it 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. 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. Bear Our sleep and mattress editors recommend the Bear Elite Hybrid for sleepers who"want a plush hotel-luxury mattress that offers good edge support and motion isolation." The bed excelled during our testing in the categories that mattered most to couples, including ample edge support and motion isolation. However it may not be quite supportive enough for sleepers who weight over 250 pounds or those who primarily sleep on their back or stomach. More Deal Information: The price of this mattress increased from $2,305 in 2024. While we saw a low of $1,499 during last year's sale, it may not reach that drop again due to the overall price increase. Nolah Heavier individuals who favor side sleeping should consider the Nolah Evolution Comfort Plus. Designed to accommodate up to 1,000 pounds total, this hybrid bed is among the best mattresses for heavy people. It has a solid 14-inch loft, plenty of support and cooling features to keep you comfortable through the night. Plus, its quilted Euro top and multilayered foam build makes the design a little softer than the average bed targeted to larger sleepers. More Deal Information: This mattress saw a 35% discount over the holiday last year, so it may be worth waiting to secure that extra savings. If you're seeking a bouncy, responsive mattress with solid edge support, you'll be happiest with an innerspring design. They're a good option for back and stomach sleepers thanks to their supportive feel. Here are some of our editors' favorite models that are discounted right now. Saatva This innerspring design uses a classic coil base with a luxe European-style pillow top to deliver a supportive and comfortable design. It's available in three firmness levels, so you can find your perfect fit. (I have the luxury firm model and find it to be just right.) Saatva also offers a longer warranty period than many other brands as well as white glove delivery and mattress removal. More Deal Information: This $300 offer is common from Saatva, but you can often get an additional $100 off over holiday weekends. Leesa This Leesa mattress is features in two of our mattress shopping guides, including the best innerspring mattress and the best cooling mattresses. It's designed with hot sleepers in mind with 'dual-coil layers that promote airflow and gel-infused foam for cooling relief.' We think its a great option for stomach, back and combination sleepers, but may not be ideal for dedicated side sleepers. More Deal Information: This mattress' original price has increased by $200, up from $2,799 last year. So, while it may not reach the same low we saw in 2024, it's not uncommon for Leesa to offer 30% off over holiday weekends. WinkBeds The WinkBed is one of the most comfortable mattresses we 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. More Deal Information: This is a standard offer from WinkBeds. Brooklyn Bedding If you're looking for a good innerspring mattress for under $1,000, we recommend this Brooklyn Bedding design. Mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon says, 'In a sea full of online mattresses, I think of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature as like the Toyota of beds: reliable, reputable and comfortable, without having to be the high-end pick.' More Deal Information: This brand often offers 30% off during holiday events, so it may be worth waiting until closer to July 4. Yes, the 4th of July 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. The 4th of July 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. 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 one of our shopping guides that's curated based on your sleep style. 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. 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 will 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. 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. 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.

More Deals Information: This discount matches the offer we saw last Memorial Day. This newly updated mattress delivers ample pressure relief with deep contouring to your hips and shoulders. While you'll still feel more 'in' than 'on' your mattress, the Premier is more responsive than the average memory foam design (including its previous iteration), so you can easily change positions throughout the night.

Hot sleepers may find some relief from this cooling Brooklyn Bedding mattress, which uses gel-infused memory foam to draw heat away from the body.

What's The Best Month For Mattress Sales?> What's The Best Month For Mattress Sales? 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. However, if your current setup is causing your sleep to suffering now, you may want to replace your mattress sooner rather than later. How Do I Get The Best Price On A New Mattress?> How Do I Get The Best Price On A New Mattress? In addition to shopping during major holidays, another pro tip for saving on a mattress is to look for discounts on bundles.
