The Labor Day mattress sales have officially started. There are hundreds of deals to choose between today, with big offers from popular sleep brands including Nectar, Purple and Tempur-Pedic competing with discounts from heavyweight retailers, such as Macy’s and Bed, Bath and Beyond. We’ve searched through them all, and rounded up the very best Labor Day mattress sales here to help you bag the biggest bargain.
Labor Day mattress sales
The best Labor Day mattress sale comes from Nectar. With $400 off every Nectar mattress – plus $399-worth of free gifts added to your order (luxury pillows, a mattress protector and sheet set) it’s a tough offer to beat, dropping the price of a queen-size from $1,298 to $899. All Nectar’s memory foam mattresses come with a year’s risk-free trial, too, and a forever warranty. No other mattress deal comes close for value for money.
If you have a little more to spend, or prefer an innerspring mattress, we recommend the luxury Saatva Classic. It aced our sister site Tom’s Guide’s review tests, and the company has continued its usual discount for Labor Day: save $200 when you spend over $950.
But there are plenty of Labor Day mattress deals to browse today. Whether you’re looking for the cushioning support of memory foam, the bounce of springs, a cooling hybrid option, or an ultra-durable and sustainable choice like organic latex, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our pick of the best Labor Day mattress sales today.
Labor Day mattress sales: quick links
Labor Day mattress sales: top deals
Nectar Memory Foam mattress: from $798 $499 + $399 of free gifts at Nectar
Editor’s choice – This popular 12-inch, all-foam, medium-firm mattress has a new cooling cover to stop you overheating at night. We found it extremely comfortable and supportive when we slept on it, and while this discount isn’t new for the Labor Day mattress sales, it is phenomenal value, with $400 off, plus $399-worth of free sleep accessories. We’ve seen the price slightly lower in the past – the queen size has dropped to $799 before (it’s currently $899) – but we don’t expect the prices to become any cheaper between now and November. This is easily the best-value mattress deal around today.

Saatva Classic Mattress: from $887 at Saatva
Save $200 – The luxury hybrid innerspring Saatva Classic is one of the best mattresses you can buy. We loved it when we tried it. You can choose your firmness level – soft, medium or firm – and it comes in two different heights: 11.5 or 14.5 inches. The layer of springs give it a little more bounce than an all-foam mattress, so it’s a great choice for anyone who likes a more traditional mattress feel, but you still get plenty of cushioning comfort from the plush pillow top layer. With this deal a twin stays at $887, but all other prices become lower, with a queen dropping from $1,574 to $1,374. That’s a great price for a luxury mattress – and it comes with free white glove delivery too. View Deal
Cocoon Chill mattress: from $769 $499 + free pillows and sheets at Cocoon by Sealy
Save up to $738 – Cocoon is bringing back its Black Friday deal for a repeat showing over Labor Day so here’s another chance to get 35% off the full range of memory foam mattresses. This includes more than $500 off a king size. As an added bonus, you get some pillows and sheets thrown in for free that would usually cost $199. It’s incredible value for money. This mattress is an excellent choice if your priority is full body support while staying cool throughout the night.

Helix Midnight hybrid mattress: from $699 $599 + two free pillows at Helix
Save up to $150 – If you’re a side sleeper, we think the Helix Midnight mattress is the best you can buy – and there’s up to $150 off in the leading company’s Labor Day mattress sale. This medium-firm hybrid mattress is designed specially for side sleepers: foam layers cushion your shoulders and hips, and support your contours, while a layer of wrapped coils adds extra support and reduces motion transfer, so you’re less likely to notice a restless partner. It sleeps cool, too. With a twin down to $599 and a queen sitting at $999 (was $1,099) – plus two free pillows – this Labor Day mattress sale is worth a look.View Deal
Tuft & Needle Original Mattress: from $645 $580.50 at T&N
Save up to $109.05 – There’s 10% off the T&N Original mattress in the company’s Labor Day sale. This foam mattress has two layers and delivers great pressure relief and comfort for the price.

View Deal
Casper Nova Hybrid mattress: from $1,195 $1,015.75 at Casper
Save up to $359 – Casper’s Labor Day mattress sale cuts 15% off the price of its most high-end mattresses, including the Nova Hybrid – a plush four-layer mattress made from premium foam and springs. There’s 15% off the Casper Nova Hybrid Snow, too – an ultra-cooling version of the Nova Hybrid that’s particularly well suited to hot sleepers (it now starts from $1,440.75, down from $1,695). These are great prices for two of Casper’s best mattresses, and we don’t expect to see them cheaper closer to the time.View Deal
The Big Fig Mattress: from $1,499 $1,199 + free foundation at Big Fig
Save up to $699 – Big Fig’s medium-firm cooling hybrid mattress is specifically designed for heavier bodies: the more pressure you put on it, the more the high-density foam and flexible wrapped coils react to support you. The company’s Labor Day mattress sale knocks $300 off the BigFig – which is better than the usual $200 discount – and you can choose whether you want a free super-strong foundation too, worth $399.

Avocado Green Mattress: from $1099 $949 at Avocado

Labor Day mattress sale: Cooling
Layla Flippable Mattress: from $749 from $599 at Layla Sleep
Save $150 + get 2 free pillows – This is one of the cheapest cooling mattresses you’ll find in the Labor Day mattress sales. Surprisingly, it’s made of memory foam, but like the Nectar cooling mattress below it uses heat-conductive copper to draw away excess body heat. The other big draw with is that the Layla Mattress has two levels of firmness: soft on one side, firm on the other. To have that level of customization and cooling in a cheap mattress is rare. Throw in a $150 discount and two free pillows and this is superb value.View Deal
Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress: from $1,099 from $999 at Helix
Save up to $200 + 2 free pillows – This medium firm hybrid uses Tencel Airflow tech to draw away excess heat and keep your bed cooler during sleep. The moisture wicking quilted pillow top is made from breathable Tencel too, and the 1,000+ wrapped coils also help air flow freely. As well as a $200 discount for Labor Day, the Helix Midnight Luxe comes with two free Dream Pillows. While this one is cheaper than the Nectar Copper Premier twin, twin XL and full sizes, it jumps in price from there to become more expensive than the Nectar. If you want cooling for even less, check out the Layla above.View Deal
Nectar Premier Copper Mattress: from $1,697 from $1,299 at Nectar
Save $498 + get $498 of free gifts – Nectar’s cooling mattress magic begins with a moisture-wicking cover that uses heat conductive copper fibers to dissipate body heat so it doesn’t build up beneath you. This also helps the Nectar Premier Copper feel cool to the touch. There’s also a technology called ActiveCool HD at play here, which uses phase change material to make the mattress adapt to your sleep temperature. Considering the lower price of the Premier Copper compared to the Tempur Breeze (below), this is impressive. You’ll get a load of free gifts with this one too, including a cooling pillow, sheets, mattress protector and a Google Nest Hub.View Deal
Eight Sleep Pod: from $2,295 from $2,095 at Eight Sleep
Save $200 – This is bigger than the discount we saw last month ($100 off), making now a good time to buy. Unlike other cooling mattresses here, the Eight Sleep offers dual-zone cooling (and heating) so you can have your side set to a colder temperature than your partner. The brand’s Active Grid Cooling Technology uses water (this sits in a unit next to the bed) to continuously remove up to 20W of heat from each side of the bed. We’d recommend this and the Tempur-Breeze for very hot sleepers and people experiencing night sweats.View Deal
Tempur-Breeze Mattress: from $3,799 from $3,299 at Tempur-Pedic
Save up to $2,000 – Probably the most famous cooling mattress of them all, the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Breeze promises to be either 3° or 8° cooler than your room temperature. The 3° cooler model is the cheapest of the two, but both are very expensive compared to the Eight Sleep Pod system. Still, this is a top-rated cooling mattress with an average user rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 940 user reviews. The discount is a massive $2,000 off on the 8° Split CA King model, with the smaller discounts on the top-rated 3° cooler model. View Deal

Who has the best Labor Day mattress sale?
Leading online mattress maker Nectar has the best mattress sale on Labor Day, in our view. Nectar’s been offering a phenomenal $400 discount plus $399-worth of free sleep accessories on all its mattresses for the last 12 months – and has continued this deal into its Labor Day sale. After all, it’s the biggest offer the company has ever run, and Nectar didn’t change it for Black Friday or Memorial Day.
With it, the price of the flagship Nectar Memory Foam mattress drops from $1,298 to $899 for a queen size. That makes this 12-inch, mid-range mattress very competitively priced – but Nectar mattresses also come with two free cooling pillows, a sheet set and mattress protector worth $399. Plus, Nectar gives you a year-long risk-free trial, and there’s a forever warranty. That’s exceptional value for money.
So that’s our top pick – it isn’t a unique offer for Labor Day, but we’d be surprised to see another brand beat it for value.
Where else will you find the best Labor Day mattress sales? Well, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a very cheap mattress, Amazon has some of the lowest prices on budget options. Walmart has some good budget mattresses on sale too.
And if you don’t mind choosing an older model, Macy’s always has a strong selection of closeout deals on some of the major brands, including Sealy and Serta. When it comes to the biggest price cuts, the retailer’s Labor Day mattress sale is usually one of the best – it isn’t unusual to find discounts of over $1,000.
Just be aware that because these mattresses are classified as clearance merchandise, you won’t be able exchange, return or receive a price adjustment on them, and they’re not covered by any warranties for existing or future damage.
5 tips for buying a mattress online
Buying a mattress online is probably easier than you think, if you’ve never done it before – and it’s likely cheaper too. Increased competition online has led to lower prices for consumers. Plus, many brands have been able to save money by choosing not to have physical stores and have instead invested in better quality materials, so you often get more for your cash when you buy online too.
To help you find exactly the right mattress, all the top brands now offer long, risk-free sleep trials so you can test them properly (and safely) by sleeping on them in your own home. Most of them come with free deliveries and returns, too – all of which makes buying online an easier, quicker and more reliable way of ending up with the right mattress than spending five minutes testing one in a showroom.
Here are five things to look for when buying a mattress online.
1. Choose a mattress with at least a 60-night trial
The only way to know whether a mattress is right is to sleep on it. That’s why most top brands now offer a risk-free trial, and promise to collect the mattress and give you a full refund if you don’t like it (as long as it isn’t damaged).
We’ve made sure all the mattresses in our Memorial Day mattress sale round-up come with at least a 60-night trial – the majority come with 100-nights, and some, such as Nectar, give you an entire year to decide whether you like it.
2. Check for free returns
As part of the risk-free trial, most brands offer a full refund and free returns if you decide the mattress isn’t right for you. However, some do charge a fee for collection, around $75, so check the policy first.
3. Read third-party T&Cs
We usually recommend buying your mattress directly from the manufacturer so that you can make the most of generous sleep trial and warranties. You’re more likely to get a better deal from the manufacturer too, with competitive discounts and free gifts often added to your order.
However, sometimes a third-party retailer can run a deal that makes it slightly cheaper than buying through the manufacturer. If you’re looking for the cheapest price possible, this can be a good way to get it – however bear in mind that you may not receive the same trial or warranty benefits if you buy from a retailer such as Amazon, so always read the T&Cs carefully first.
4. Ensure it’s the right size with the elbow test
Do the elbow test to work out what size mattress you need. Lie back with your hands behind your head. If you share a bed, your elbows should be able to extend without touching your side of the bed or your partner’s elbow; if you don’t share a bed, your elbows should be able to extend without touch either side of the bed.
5. Try a new mattress for three weeks
It can take up to 21 days for your body to adjust to a new mattress. So even if it isn’t comfortable initially and you wake up with aches and pains, stick with it – particularly if your body is used to sleeping on a much older mattress. If after three weeks you still don’t like it, then you know it’s because it isn’t right – rather than because your body still hasn’t readjusted from sleeping on a less supportive or different mattress.
