Now is a very good time to be in the market for a new mattress. For some reason, Presidents’ Day weekend is when all our favorite bedding brands go all in on the discounts. (And I should know, since I sleuth out the best mattress deals on the internet every month.) Most brands are taking off at least $100, and others are throwing in free pillows or sheet sets. So I’ve rounded up all the deals we’ve found so far — and we’ve even secured a few codes that are exclusive to Strategist readers. And if you’re looking for non-mattress deals, I’ve been rounding up all the best Presidents’ Day sales here.
Amazon
You can usually find Amazon price-matching mattress sales, no matter the time of year. But we also found a few that are an even better deal — like the Purple, which is $200 less at Amazon than on the brand’s website, and Casper’s Original mattress, which is $50 cheaper.
If having an ecofriendly mattress is important to you, Avocado’s Strategist-approved sleep products are constructed using sustainable, nontoxic materials and processes. Avocado’s mattresses are up to 20 percent off, depending on which size and style you select. The Eco Organic mattress is a budget-friendly pick for sleepers who don’t have any specific mattress requirements or sleep concerns. The queen size is $100 off.
Bear Mattress
Until March 4, Bear is offering 35 percent off sitewide and throwing in two cloud pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector with all mattress purchases. The brand’s Original mattress is a solid choice for athletes who want a bed that promotes muscle recovery after workouts.
Birch by Helix
One of our editors called the “plush yet supportive” Birch Natural mattress a “dream” to sleep on. Take 25 percent off sitewide with the code PDS25 — and when you purchase any mattress, you’ll receive two free Eco-Rest pillows. (And we’re also fans of the brand’s mattress topper.)
Brooklyn Bedding
Use our code STRAT30 to take 30 percent off sitewide. Our best (flippable) firm mattress is the Plank, which gives you a neutral resting position not unlike lying on the floor at the end of yoga class in Savasana.
Casper
Casper’s best-selling mattresses are up to 30 percent off, which is a bit better than its typical discount. (And you can find some even better deals in the last-call section.)
Helix
Take 25 percent off sitewide with the code STRAT25. Plus, all mattress purchases come with a free bedroom bundle that includes two pillows, a sheet set, and mattress protector.
Leesa
Until March 6, Leesa is offering 30 percent off adult-size mattresses, 15 percent off kids’ mattresses, and 25 percent off bases and bedding. The brand is also including two free down-alternative pillows with any mattress purchase.
Nectar makes our favorite overall memory-foam mattress, which our former senior editor Casey Lewis (and current writer of the newsletter After School) says is firm enough to share with her fidgety pitbull-boxer. Despite this mattress’s overall dense structure and feel, the softer top layers of foam supply it with “just the right amount of give.” (We’ve also found that it’s great for hot sleepers.)
The Nolah Original mattress is our best all-foam cooling mattress, and our associate editor found it “cooler to sleep on than other memory foam I’ve slept on.” Everything is 35 percent off (no code needed), and mattress purchases come with a bundle that includes two pillows, a sheet set, and mattress protector.
Parachute
Our best innerspring mattress, the Parachute Eco, is a firm, luxury-hotel-style mattress. It doesn’t usually go on sale, and it’s 20 percent off this weekend.
Saatva
Saatva is offering up to $375 off purchases over $1,000 just for Strategist readers. (To take advantage of this deal, click one of the products below and the discount will automatically be applied on-site.) Saatva’s Classic mattress is our best overall pick — our senior editor, Simone Kitchens, says it gave her a “supported feeling” and “kept my lower back from collapsing in.”
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
