Here are a few tips for getting the most bang for your buck when shopping for a mattress:
- Do your research. Start by determining your preferences and needs based on your budget, body type, bed size, firmness level, and any health conditions you need to accommodate. Next, browse and compare mattresses to narrow down your options.
- Consider purchasing a bed online. Many online mattress brands offer models at lower prices because they don’t have the costs of brick-and-mortar locations to worry about.
- Take advantage of trial periods and return policies. Because they don’t have showrooms for you to try out a bed in person, most online mattress brands have generous trial periods, which allow you to actually sleep on a mattress before you commit. The industry standard is a 100-night trial; more than three months should be plenty of time to decide. Also, check a mattress brand’s return policy before buying. Some brands don’t let you try out more than one mattress at a time, while others do.
Where and when can you find good deals on mattresses? Here’s a breakdown:
- Seasonal sales. Seasonal mattress sales tend to happen in April or May during the spring. Winter sales at the tail end of the year may also pop up around the holiday shopping season.
- Holiday discounts. Many mattress brands offer discounts timed around holidays like New Year’s Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving.
Why investing in a quality mattress matters
An older, sagging mattress that lacks support can impact your sleep quality, and research shows poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of health issues, from chronic pain to heart problems.
Investing in a quality mattress can help encourage healthy spinal alignment, minimize chronic pain issues, and reduce tossing and turning—all of which can help improve sleep.
While a mattress can often be a pricey investment—even with discounts—choosing a quality option from a reputable brand can help secure long-term cost savings. A well-constructed mattress with a solid warranty that fits your sleep needs won’t require replacement as often as a bargain mattress that prevents you from getting comfortable rest. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Additionally, quality should be a top consideration if you need to purchase a new mattress to help alleviate pain. Certain mattresses are constructed to reduce back, hip, neck, and shoulder pain and offer potential relief from sciatica and fibromyalgia symptoms.

Bottom line
Upgrading your bedroom with a new mattress can be an expensive investment but it doesn’t have to be when you find the best mattress deals for your sleeping needs. Shopping during mattress sales is a good way to maximize your savings.
Aside from budget, it’s important to consider your sleep style, whether you sleep with a partner (and their needs), and firmness preferences when selecting a mattress. Plus, remember that some beds are constructed to alleviate pain conditions, help aging adults change positions easily, isolate motion well for couples, and promote cooling for hot sleepers. Our Reviews Team spends hundreds of hours testing and sleeping on each mattress model we review to help you decide which one is a good fit for your needs and budget.
Frequently asked questions
Some sources suggest that mid-summer is an ideal time to shop around for mattress deals, but many brands have sales year-round, especially during federal holidays. Bookmark the following holidays, which are when brands typically run their mattress sales: New Year’s Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving.
With new models frequently released in the winter or spring, these are good times to buy last year’s models at a discount. Consider March and April for spring sale shopping months. If you want to shop holiday sales surrounding Thanksgiving, like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, make sure to mark your calendar to browse online during the month of November. On the other hand, summer holidays to bookmark for good mattress deals include Memorial Day in the end of May and Fourth of July.
Unless you’re purchasing a specialty or ultra-exclusive mattress model, the most you should expect to spend on a mattress is about $2,000 for a queen-size bed before discounts. Keep in mind that discounts can cut the price of a mattress up to 50%, depending on the brand and model.
