The best early Memorial Day mattress deals
Saatva Classic mattress: was $995 now from $770 at Saatva
The luxury innerspring Saatva Classic sits at the top of our best mattress guide and with good reason: it’s an excellently comfortable and supportive bed that’s available in two height options and three choices of firmness; our Saatva Classic mattress review can give you all the facts. Use the link below to get the best price for a twin size in the Saatva Memorial Day sale; however for all other sizes you should use this Saatva coupon, which takes $375 off orders over $1,000, beating the standard sale and getting you a queen size for just $1,620; that’s not the cheapest we’ve seen it this year, but it’s pretty close.View Deal
Nectar Memory Foam mattress: was $599 now from $359 at Nectar
The Nectar is another option that ranks highly in our best mattress roundup; it’s an all-foam mattress that delivers impressive cooling and comfort for its low price (learn more in our Nectar Mattress review), and which is almost always discounted. Nectar’s Memorial Day sale is now live, and it’s 33% off everything, which means you can get a queen size for $699. That’s fairly standard Nectar pricing, but nevertheless a fair price for this mattress.View Deal
The Casper mattress: was $595 now from $476 at Casper
Casper sales don’t come along very often, but for Memorial Day it’s taking 20% off all mattresses (as well as pillows and sheets). This includes its brand new The Casper all-foam mattress, which was already an affordable option and is now even more so. With 20% off, a queen size is reduced to an extremely reasonable $796, with free delivery, a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty.View Deal
Tempur-Adapt mattress: was $1,699 now from $1,499 at Tempur-Pedic
Tempur-Pedic is one of the rare breed of sleep brands that doesn’t have a sale running the whole time, but it’s hitting the Memorial Day sale hard. There’s $200 off the Tempur-Adapt, which in our Tempur-Adapt mattress review we found to deliver exceptional support, pressure relief and motion isolation; this discount brings a queen size down to $1,999. There’s also $300 off the cooling Tempur-Breeze, as well as 30% off its cheapest model, the Tempur-Cloud, when you use the CLOUD30 Tempur-Pedic promo code.View Deal
Purple Restore mattress: was $1,845 now from $1,645 at Purple
Purple is another company that doesn’t have sales happening 24/7, although you can often find discounts across a selection of its mattresses. Purple’s Memorial Day sale has just launched with discounts across the range and some updated mattresses; we’d direct you to the new Purple Restore mattress (It appears to be a new name and new design for the Purple Hybrid mattress, which you can still get, with $300 off). There’s $200 off all sizes, which gets you the queen size for $2,099.View Deal
The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: was $799 now from $499 at DreamCloud
The DreamCloud is one of the best hybrid mattresses around, and it delivers lots of luxury features at a surprisingly affordable price; our DreamCloud mattress review can tell you why it’s such a winner. DreamCloud has already launched its Memorial Day sale and is taking 40% off its prices in what it calls its biggest offer ever, bringing the price of a queen size down to just $799 – a lot cheaper than the comparable Saatva Classic, although we’d note that unlike with previous sales there’s no free bedding included with this one.View Deal
Avocado Latex Mattress: was $2,399 now from $1,679 at Avocado
Avocado’s Memorial Day sale is live and it’s mostly pretty standard: 10% off mattresses with the HONOR discount code. However, this sale on the Avocado Latex Mattress is definitely worth a look if you want an eco-friendly step up from memory foam. This hand-crafted organic mattress is great for comfort and motion isolation, with just the right amount of bounce. It’s available in a final sale for $2,099 in a queen size; that’s $900 off, but move fast as this is a clearance sale, so stock won’t last forever.View Deal
Memorial Day mattress sales: memory foam
Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was $599 now from $359 at Nectar
Nectar’s entry-level full foam mattress is already excellent value — and early Memorial Day sales are sweetening the deal with 33% off everything. That brings the price of a queen down to $699 (from $1,049), which is well below the average price you’d pay for this size mattress at most other brands. Need convincing that this lower mid-range memory foam mattress is legit? We sang its praises in our Nectar Mattress review for exceptional pressure relief and good temperature regulation. You get a full year to try it at home, as well, with an industry-leading forever warranty to back your purchase.View Deal
Bear Original Mattress: was $748 now from $487 + free accessories at Bear Mattress
Bear Mattress has a 35% off sitewide sale ongoing for Memorial Day, and it’s one of the biggest discounts we’ve seen. The Bear Original is the brand’s most affordable cooling mattress, and it’s at the best price we’ve seen for it in over six months. The price of a queen has dropped from $998 to $649, while a twin is just $487. Add to that a free sleep bundle including pillows, sheet set and mattress protector, and you have an outstanding value for money. Memory foam mattresses are prone for trapping heat, but the Bear Original’s cooling graphite-gel memory foam will keep you comfortable and well-supported all night long. View Deal
Tempur-Cloud Mattress: was $1,699 now from $1,189.30 at Tempur-Pedic
The Tempur-Pedic Memorial Day Sale offers a rare 30% discount for its budget-friendly Tempur-Cloud full-foam mattress. That brings the price of a queen to $1,399.30 (was $1,999). Made with NASA-developed Tempur Material, you’ll experience all-body contouring and support. Low motion transfer means it’s a suitable choice for co-sleepers, too.View Deal
Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: was $1,499 now from $999 at Nectar
The original Nectar mattress does an admirable job of regulating temperature, but the Premier Copper is your best bet if you’re a hot sleeper who likes the cushioning hug of memory foam. A copper-woven cover plus phase-change-infused cooling foam will leave you comfortably cool and well-supported. Bring home a queen on sale for $1,299 (reg. $1,949). A lifetime warranty applies, and you’ll have a full year to test it out at home.View Deal
Memorial Day mattress sales: hybrids
Saatva Classic mattress: from $887 – save $350 when you spend $1,000
This luxury innerspring hybrid is extremely comfortable and supportive for all sleeping positions. Better yet, it comes in three firmness levels plus two heights so you can select the combo that best suits your preferences. The Saatva Classic has also been given the Seal of Approval from the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations. In other words, if you suffer from back pain, you’ll want to check this mattress out — especially now, since we’ve teamed up with Saatva to offer a massive $350 discount on the Classic when you spend $1,000. That drops the price of a queen from $1,695 to to $1,345, which is $150 cheaper than the company’s official Memorial Day mattress sale price.View Deal
The Allswell Mattress: was $227 now from $192.95 at Allswell Home
The Allswell Mattress is, let’s face it, cheap, but don’t let that put you off. It designed to land on the softer side of medium firm, and based on our experience of testing mattresses with a similar firmness, we feel it would best suit lighter to average weight bodies, especially side sleepers. It’s infused with charcoal to control moisture levels and regulate heat, and copper gel-infused foam helps with cooling too. While there’s no Allswell Memorial Day mattress sale so far, you can take 15% off your first purchase by texting DREAMBIG to 61652, bringing the price of a queen down to $286.45. View Deal
Helix Midnight Mattress: was $936.30 now from $702.20 plus 2 free pillows at Helix Sleep
The Helix Memorial Day sale takes 25% off everything, bringing the price of the Midnight down to $1,030.30 for a queen; cheaper than last year’s Memorial Day sale. You’ll also get two free Dream pillows with your purchase. This is a solid deal for one of the best mattresses for side sleepers. You’ll have 100 nights to test it out and be backed by a 10-year warranty if you elect to keep it.View Deal
Purple Restore mattress: was $1,845 now from $1,645 at Purple
Purple is another company that doesn’t have sales happening 24/7, although you can often find discounts across a selection of its mattresses. Purple’s Memorial Day sale has just launched with discounts across the range and some updated mattresses; we’d direct you to the new Purple Restore mattress (It appears to be a new name and new design for the Purple Hybrid mattress, which you can still get, with $300 off). There’s $200 off all sizes, which gets you the queen size for $2,099.View Deal
Memorial Day mattress sales: organic
Birch Natural Mattress: was $1,373.80 now from $1,030.30 plus 2 free pillows at Birch Living
Ahead of Memorial Day, Birch is knocking 25% off its Natural mattress, and you’ll also get two free pillows with purchase. We rate it as one of the best organic mattress options right now. No matter your sleep style, you’ll be well-supported by a layer of Talalay latex plus a support layer of individually-wrapped steel coils. Talalay also promotes good airflow, and combined with an organic cover you’ll find plenty of relief if you overheat at night. A 100-night trial and 25-year warranty apply.View Deal
Avocado Green Mattress: was $1,399 now from $1,259.10 at Avocado
The Avocado Green is one of the best organic mattresses you can buy — especially if you have a larger build. (This medium-firm bed can hold up to 700lbs.) It’s crafted from 100% organic certified, non-toxic materials including Dunlop latex, cotton and wool. A support layer of 1,414 pocketed coils minimizes motion transfer and provides five dedicated zones for concentrated support. Coupon code HONOR shaves 10% off, which knocks the price of a queen to $1,799.10 (was $1,999). You’ll have a full year to trial it, too.View Deal
Awara Luxury Hybrid Mattress: was $1,398 now from $799 at Awara
Save up to $799 – This is a bigger discount than we’ve seen recently on the Awara organic mattress, and for the Memorial Day mattress sales you can get up to $300 off the Luxury Hybrid plus up to $499 of free bedding. Organic mattresses aren’t cheap, but this is a good saving on a popular model by the same company that owns Nectar and DreamCloud. It has a firmer feel than you may expect, and is well-suited to back and stomach sleepers, as well as to couples and those seeking enhanced back support. You’ll have a year to trial it at home, and it comes with a forever warranty, same as the Nectar Mattress. With this deal, a queen size is reduced to $1,099 (was $1,898).View Deal
When is Memorial Day 2023?
Memorial Day happens on the last Monday in May, so Memorial Day 2023 will roll around on Monday 29 May. It’s a bank holiday and a federal holiday, and many retailers – both online and in-store – take the opportunity to launch sales that can save you money on a wide range of products – including mattresses.
What are the Memorial Day mattress sales?
While many mattress companies have sales running most of the year – which effectively means that their sale pricing is their standard pricing – they also tend to get involved in the big annual sales events such as Presidents’ Day, Labor Day and Memorial day, and break out bigger discounts than you’ll see the rest of the year.
Those savings aren’t always the same though – some brands and retailers offer either money off or free bedding, while others offer both. The latter are usually the best deals for sheer value for money, depending on the cost of the bed you are looking at.
Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress?
We’ve tracked mattress deals and sales for a good few years, and we’ve pinpointed the best times of year to pick up your perfect mattress for the least money. The Black Friday mattress deals are usually where you’ll get the lowest mattress prices as well as free bedding gifts, and these roll over into Cyber Monday mattress deals.
Beyond these events, the Presidents’ Day mattress sales in February and the Memorial Day mattress sales in May can be relied on to deliver prices that are almost as low. That’s partly because sleep brands tend to introduce new models in the spring, which means having to clear older stock; however our research and trend analysis of the past few years also indicates that prices tend to rise over the summer months before falling again in time for Labor Day in September.
So if you want or need a new mattress and you’ve missed out on all the major shopping events so far, the 2023 Memorial Day mattress sales are your next big chance to save on better sleep.
Where to find the best Memorial Day mattress sales
If previous Memorial Day mattress sales are anything to go by, we’ll see all the leading mattress brands launching offers throughout May. Some of them will be worth grabbing, but others will be only slightly more generous than the evergreen deals many companies run most of the year.
So that you know whether you’re getting a good deal or not, we’ll be updating this 2023 Memorial Day mattress sales guide regularly and highlighting the deals that we believe are worth buying. We’ll keep you informed about:
- The standard price (the MSRP)
- The sale price
- How much you’re saving
- How this compares to regular deals from the brand
- Any free gifts you’re entitled to
One thing you really need to look out for when you buy a new mattress is a long trial period so that you can test it at home and return it if it doesn’t live up to expectations. On average it takes at least 30 nights to adjust to a new bed, and thankfully most brands give you much more than that; generally at least 100 nights. Most will allow you to return an unwanted mattress for free, but some will charge you; we’ll let you know if that’s the case.
Speaking of which, you should also check that the brand has published a clear returns policy on its website or has one available for you to read in-store, as you need to be aware of any small print. For example, some request that you use a mattress protector on your mattress during the trial period to keep it safe from spills and stains. If you don’t use one, you may not be able to return it if you change your mind.
Brands and retailers we know and trust include Avocado Green, Casper, Cocoon by Sealy, DreamCloud, GhostBed, Helix Sleep, Leesa, Mattress Firm, Purple, Nectar Sleep, Saatva, and Tempur-Pedic, but there are plenty of others to consider on Memorial Day.
Are mattress toppers and bedding on sale too?
Yes, you can normally find a wide range of bedding in the Memorial Day mattress sale. Many of the best mattress toppers are discounted and these are an instant way to upgrade the comfort of your existing bed if you don’t have the budget for a new mattress.
Other bedding you’ll find in the sales include bed sheets, mattress protectors, comforters, weighted blankets and some of the best pillows for comfier sleep. In recent years, we’ve seen brands and retailers bundle in some of these bedding items as free gifts when you purchase a mattress. Top brands for giving you free premium bedding include Awara, DreamCloud, Cocoon by Sealy, Helix Sleep, and Nectar Sleep.
The Memorial Day mattress sales are also a good time to nab bedding that isn’t normally discounted. For example, luxury sleep brand Saatva has been known to offer a sitewide discount ranging from 12-15%, and that can be used on its weighted blankets, pillows, toppers, sheets and more. That said, a recent Saatva mattress sale offered this exact same discount, so we’re hoping for a larger saving from the brand in May.
What to look for in a Memorial Day mattress sale
We’ve been reporting on Memorial Day mattress deals for a few years now, and there are two things in particular – in addition to free shipping – that we recommend you look for before spending a dime:
Why this is important: A risk-free trial means you can test out your new mattress for an agreed period of time (100 nights is the average). If you change your mind during the trial, you can contact the brand to arrange a collection of the mattress and a refund of your money. It’s common for brands to ask you to sleep on the mattress for 30 nights before asking for a refund, as this is the average time it takes to get used to a new bed. The risk-free part means you won’t be charged a fee for returns.
Why this is important: Trusted manufacturers always offer a warranty on their mattresses, and these range from 10 years to a Lifetime Warranty depending on what the mattress is made from and the brand you buy from. It isn’t enough for a brand to list that it offers a warranty – they should provide a breakdown of what that warranty does and doesn’t cover so that you know what to expect should you encounter issues such as premature sagging or loss of edge support.
Last year’s best Memorial Day mattress sales
