Memorial DaY brings discounts to the mattress models we test all year long, and the sales have already started. As a seasoned deal hunter, I know that mattresses go on sale pretty often, but whenever someone asks me the best time to buy, I tell them to wait until Memorial Day or Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you’ve been in the market for a new mattress, now’s the time to act.
The WIRED Reviews team thoroughly tests the best mattresses long-term. We don’t conduct “nap tests” or base recommendations on first impressions. Our top picks are tried-and-true, and they’re on sale right now. We’ll also include some deals on bedding, pillows, mattress toppers, and other sleep accessories as we update this story through Memorial Day on May 26. Prices shown are for queen sizes.
Feel free to check out our many other sleep recommendations, including the best pillows for neck pain, the best body pillows, and the best sunrise alarm cocks. You might also want to read our guide on how to choose a mattress.
WIRED Featured Deals:
Helix Sleep Midnight Luxe Hybrid for $1,824 ($675 off)—Use Code WIRED27
Use our exclusive coupon code WIRED27 to get 27 percent off our very favorite mattress for most people. We’ve seen it sell for about $100 less before, and they’ve thrown in more freebies, but this is still a great deal. Just be aware that the price might drop a little later in the month. In any case, the Midnight Luxe Hybrid is springy and medium-firm and should be well-suited to any style of sleeping. The individually wrapped springs are zoned so that you have more support where you need it to prevent back pain. It also doesn’t get too warm, though it’s thick enough that you’ll want deep-pocketed sheets. It’s been our favorite mattress for over eight years.
