Amazon is the place to go for the budget-friendly shopper, and it actually has a wide variety of bedding retailers like Serta, Sealy and BeautyRest. They all have plenty of reviews to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. For instance, the popular Tuft & Needle 8-inch foam is under $400 for a limited time, as is the 10-inch Bliss cooling gel mattress from Signature Sleep, if you tend to run hot.
Brooklyn Bedding is known for offering mattresses that cater to a wide variety of sleepers, and you can find out just what kind you are with the website’s sleep quiz. If you want to grab a new mattress before the best sell out, take advantage of the 25% off Back-to-School sale, which ends August 15.
Every podcaster and influencer’s go-to mattress brand is a full 30% off for Labor day, and it’s not just mattresses. Pillows, sheets, headboards and all the rest are discounted, as long as you give the brand your email (yeah, we know). Casper offers both free, no-contact delivery and white glove service, because hurting your back setting up your supportive mattress would entirely defeat its purpose. The “bundles” are 35% off, if you’re feeling ambitious. Just imagine waking up on a new pillow top mattress with new pillows and new sheets. You might feel like a new person.
In addition to fast, free shipping, the innovative brand is offering up to $700 on a mattress and $300 on a base, with different discounts on different products. Purple specializes in, well, specialization, offering different options for back pain sufferers, side sleepers and and toss-and-turn-ers. You can “chat with a sleep genius” online for more information and an additional discount. Oh, and that pelvic pain you’re feeling right now? How does 20% off seat cushions sound?
Products are up to 40% off, with adjustable base this bundle a full 50% off. Oof, that plush Nectar Luxe with the memory foam, it’s giving hotel. For those who have decision anxiety, you may want to try the site’s “compare” feature, which lines up the prices and specs of the most popular brands (though it doesn’t account for current sales), to get a baseline price point, which you can always divide up into a monthly payment. Prices start as $349.
It’s the lifetime warranty, year-long trial and free shipping and returns for me. The current sale runs up to 50% off and mattresses start at $349. The signature hybrid mattress combines basically every buzzy mattress material you’ve ever heard of: gel memory foam, support foam, individually wrapped coils, and even a dynamic transition layer. DreamCloud ships items free within two to four business days, so you can receive your purchase on the sooner side.
Hot sleepers, we got you: Leesa is known for its cooling mattresses, courtesy of a well-ventilated top layer of foam. The brand is offering 25% off its already-reasonable prices, plus two free pillows, and yes, you need new pillows, they degrade. Bed frames are 25% off as well, because the whole mattress-on-the-floor thing is so 2015. No code needed.
Ahead of Labor Day, Avocado is promoting an “organic sale” (it’s also their Labor Day Sale) with 10%, 15% and 20% discounts. Since this is definitely a luxury brand, check your bank account before you get too attached to any of the premium models. The good news is bedding is a full 50% off, and you can feel like an Eco Goddess for choosing this sustainable option.
Tuft & Needle makes it super easy to find just the right product because their website has one of those handy slide tools so you can set your own price range. Mattresses are up to $700 off, with a 20% sale on (select) bedding and other accessories, like travel pillows, plush mattress toppers and quilts, many available in a soft and easily washable jersey fabric.
The back-to-school sale, up to 50% off, is running until August 26. The brand offers the rare “flippable” mattress, with different firmness levels on each side – a medium firm feel on one, super firm on the other, for examples – so that sleepers can change it up as needed. The mattresses are American-made and the brand offers a yearlong trial period, plus free shipping.
Helix is all about helping you find a custom fit—there’s a quiz focusing on body type, sleeping position, and more. The brand is offering 20% off (with promo code LDW20) plus two pillows with a mattress purchase, and fast, free shipping. Unusually, Helix makes a mattress specifically for plus-size sleepers with “maximum support” and “body contouring,” worth checking out if you haven’t been able to find the right option for your body type.
Helix’s sustainable offshoot Birch has “natural” mattresses (here are all the brand’s certifications) in all sizes, from Twin to California King, though no firmness options, it’s just the one selection. Like Helix, Birch’s Labor Day sale is 20% (with promo code LDW20), plus two free “eco-rest” pillows with the qualifying purchase of a mattress. The company offers free shipping and a 100-night trial.
Layla specializes in memory foam mattresses, with the original currently $150 off, plus two free pillows, and the hybrid option $200 off, plus two free pillows. The mattresses are also flippable, if you like a firm mattress, but not all the time. Per the website, “The soft side is about a 4 out of 10, or you can flip it over and try the firmer side at a 7.” Free delivery in the 48 states.
