When you shop the mattress sales, you can upgrade your bed and transform your sleep experience for less. Whether you sleep on your front, back, or side, there's a mattress out there to support your sleep needs.

Sure, you could pick up a mattress from your local home retailer, but it pays to shop at the specialist sleep stores. That way, you should get the best sleep trials and warranties to protect your purchase. As you scour the sites of Saatva, Nectar, and Tempur, scrolling through their best-selling beds, it's easy to feel spoiled for choice.

That's where I come in. As H&G's resident sleep writer, I know what makes the best mattress: a soft, yet supportive surface; breathable fabrics; minimal motion transfer and reinforced edge support. As a shopping editor, I know when, how and where to find the best mattress for less, though I'd never compromise quality for cost.

I've found memory foam, hybrid, and innerspring models in every size from Twin to California King. Whatever you're looking for in a mattress, you'll find it for less in the Sleep Week sales.

The quick links

If you just want to get shopping already, here are the quick links to all the best places to buy a mattress this Presidents' Day.

This price just keeps dropping. You can pick up a memory foam mattress for less than half-price when you shop at Siena. When it comes to mattress sales, $400 is about as low as I'd go: much lower, and you're getting a great price on a poor product.

The Leesa Original Mattress incorporates all the best bits of memory foam. It's durable yet breathable, perforated with countless tiny air pockets and wrapped in a cooling knit cover. I've seen this mattress listed for a lot less: it might be worth waiting until later in Sleep Week to see if prices fall any further.

We reckon the Helix Midnight Hybrid Mattress is the best bet for couples who share a bed, but not a sleep style. This medium-firm mattress should support back, front, and side sleepers alike, though the motion isolation leaves a little to be desired.

Best memory foam mattress deals

Memory foam mattresses are the most popular mattress type on the market right now, and with good reason: the right foam should offer a careful balance of comfort and support. Just bear in mind that foam can trap heat: I wouldn't recommend a memory foam mattress to a hot sleeper, or anyone living in a consistently hot climate. It isn't the most sustainable option, either.

Nolah Original 10" | Was $1,449, now $942 at Nolah

Forget everything you think you know about foam. The Nolah Original Mattress is filled with AirFoam and perforated with thousands of tiny air pockets to boost breathability. It's softer up top to cushion your shoulders and firmer in the middle to lift your hips and lengthen your spine.

Best organic mattress deals

If you're prepared to spend on a mattress, you should consider investing in the best organic mattress to stand the test of time. These mattresses are made from sustainable materials that are good for your body and kind to the planet. They're often incredibly luxurious, but they're so expensive that I recommend buying them in the sales.

Mattress sales FAQs

Are mattresses always on sale?

You can trust Homes & Gardens. Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, helping you choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

Not every mattress is always on sale, but I take your point: it would seem that you can always get a good deal on a mattress. Be warned that not every mattress sale is real: a few of the biggest names in bedding list never-changing 'sales prices' throughout the year in a practice known as price anchoring. If you're keen to spot a good deal from a real fake, it might be worth downloading a reputable price tracker.

Federal holidays like Presidents' Day, July 4th, and Thanksgiving tend to bring the deepest discounts on bedding. When you take advantage of these sales, you could bag a big-ticket item, such as a mattress, at a bargain price. 

When is the best time to buy a mattress?

I've written an entire article answering the question: 'when is the best time to buy a mattress?' If you don't have time to read the whole thing, here are the highlights. 

The best time of year to buy a mattress is in winter or early spring, or during a federal holiday. Sleep Week falls at the start of spring and offers some of the deepest discounts on bedding, better even than Black Friday. If you've missed Sleep Week, you might want to wait for Memorial Day, as mattress manufacturers cut prices to shift old stock.

Final thoughts

If you're shopping outside of sales season, but you'd still like to save a little money on your mattress, you should narrow the search to the best affordable mattress. With models from Nectar, Siena, Emma, and more, these mattresses promise premium performance without the premium price tag.
