When Is the Best Time to Buy a Mattress on President’s Day?

As the first major shopping holiday of the year, President’s Day always has great deals in store on high-price items. While we usually see discounts on toys, beauty, fashion, and other lower-priced products around Black Friday, President’s Day is one of the best times of year to buy furniture, appliances, and, of course, mattresses.

Since we usually see higher-priced items on sale for President’s Day, it always makes up a bit of a different shopping landscape than many other holidays. Deals are debuting earlier and earlier, with many starting at the beginning of the month. It’s a great time to take stock of major items you may need to replace in the next year and get these products while they’re majorly on sale instead of paying tons later. And if a mattress is on your list, then you’re in luck.

Mattress companies are already rolling out discounts, and we’d advise not to wait to click “buy now” on these. Unlike Black Friday, you’re unlikely to see prices fluctuate, meaning that once the discount is unveiled, that’s probably the lowest price you’re going to see this month, if not this year. We’ve rounded up the best deals we’ve found so far below, and we’ll be updating this story throughout the month as we hear more. Scroll on to get our top tips for navigating the mattress market right now, as well.

How to Get the Best Deal on a Mattress This President’s Day

Two words: shop early. Some early bird deals have already come and gone, but there are still quite a few going on, and that’s your chance to get the best deal available. Why? Shoppers are aware that President’s Day is a big time to find deeply discounted pricing on mattresses, but most don’t think to shop early and brands take advantage of that. While most prices remain the same throughout the month, plenty of companies run early bird or early access sales for the prepared shoppers. Even if brands don’t run early bird deals, there’s usually a chance of best-selling mattresses going out of stock, so we’d suggest buying as soon as possible.

How to Find the Perfect Mattress

The best way to find a great mattress is to do the testing yourself. Mattress comfort levels are a personal preference, so we’d recommend spending an afternoon driving to different stores to test mattresses and combine that research with online reviews about how hot or cold a mattress runs and how durable it is. We don’t recommend buying in-store, though! Many brands offer different sales online vs. in-store, so you’ll want to research that at home before pulling out your card. Most companies offer their best deals online.
