Is Memorial Day a Good Day to Buy a Mattress?
If the fact that you can save up to $2,200 didn't already give it away, then allow me to confirm: Yes, Memorial Day is an excellent time to buy a new mattress! As PureWow's sales and deals editor, I cover mattress sales year-round, so I can assure you that Memorial Day is one of the absolute best times to secure major savings on beds. In fact, you probably won't see markdowns this low until Black Friday (and that's way ahead of us in November), so do yourself a favor and hop on the early deals ASAP.
What Are the Best Mattresses on Sale for Memorial Day?
While there are a ton of beds claiming to be the comfiest on the market, the best mattresses to buy on sale are the ones that address multiple sleep concerns and come highly reviewed by shoppers and PureWow editors alike. Our team has tested tons of top-rated beds, from the Avocado Green mattress (now starting at $1,189) to the Saatva Classic mattress (now starting at $995). If you ask me, you can't go wrong with any of them, especially the Avocado bed, which made one editor's hip pain disappear thanks to its medium-firm cushioning perfect for side sleepers. Still, I would go to bat for any of the nine mattresses below, all of which are currently on major sale ahead of Memorial Day. Sweet dreams await!

To say Saatva mattresses are unlike any other on the market would be an understatement, so don't mind me praising them every chance I get. Their genius layered design provides the perfect blend of softness, firmness and cooling technology for a more comfortable sleep. And just so you know, PureWow readers are particularly fond of this Classic bed, which Senior Editor Dana Dickey tested and *adored.* In her review of it, she raved that it helped her get to sleep faster and wake up so much more refreshed each day. And it's not just super comfy; it's also coated in a botanical, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold and bacterial growth (meaning you can plan on using it for a long time to come). Saatva is knocking $400 off the masterpiece just for PureWow readers through May 28, so it's the best time to try it for yourself.

Undoubtedly one of Puffy's most popular beds with more than 12,000 glowing reviews, this gem has six luxurious layers of premium memory foam and a base of contour-adapt coils, making it one of the best on the market. The brand is even endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), which means it has been reviewed by a board of doctors to ensure it's up to the highest standards in terms of support for your spine and back. And that’s one stamp of approval you can definitely trust. But you can also take this reviewer's word that it's worth every penny: "It is literally like sleeping on a cloud! It is by far the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on." Don't miss your chance to bring it home for a steal.

First of all, this bed received a 95 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review from one editor who found that it relieved the pressure she felt on her hips and joints as a side sleeper, especially when paired with the pillow top. Beyond the PureWow stamp of approval, the completely organic mattress (made with materials like organic latex and responsibly sourced wool) has earned a 4.6-star rating from more than 18,000 reviewers, most of whom mention how much more refreshed they feel after sleeping on it compared to their old mattresses. One buyer even admitted that there was a battle over the Avocado during their divorce! "After losing that battle, I decided I wasn’t going to 'lose sleep' over it, so I immediately just ordered another," they wrote. "The firmness keeps me on top of the mattress, allowing me to better maintain my body temperature, but has just enough [cushioning] to give in on pressure points like my shoulders and hips." Need I say more?

Calling all hot sleepers! Not only did Sealy put cooling mattresses (which help regulate your temperature as you fall asleep) on the map, but the brand's other features (like fabric-encased coils, pillow-top comfort and added edge support) are what really sets it apart. That brings me to this Chill bed that customers can't stop talking about. In addition to its cooling properties, it features a spring-and- foam construction to offer up some bounce, plus a Perfect Fit Memory Foam layer that adapts to the body for what could turn into the best sleep of your life. You'll never know unless you try it, though, and I recommend you do. "I used to wake up very sweaty on warm nights. Now, not only is my back pain gone, but I no longer wake up drenched. This has been a great investment in my sleep," one reviewer adds.

What does sleeping on a five-layer memory foam mattress feel like, you ask? Imagine “the ideal ratio of softness, firmness and support,” says Nectar. Side sleeper, back sleeper, stomach sleeper—whatever your sleep style, you’ll find the comfort you need in this bed’s sweet spot between soft and firm. Not to mention, it boasts a therapeutic gel memory foam layer that's specifically designed to hit pressure points from your shoulders to your legs to promote ideal spinal alignment. Hot sleepers, meanwhile, will be won over by the fact that it "ensures body heat gets distributed evenly throughout, which is a total game changer," as one PureWow editor shares in her full review of the Nectar mattress. It also touts minimal motion transfer (shout-out to that foam stability base!), so you and your partner can stop waking each other up in the middle of the night. All that for under $350? Now that's a dream come true.

In addition to the editor-loved Avocado mentioned above, this pick is another great option for side sleepers. In fact, the Sleep Foundation named this Nolah hybrid the "Best Mattress for Side Sleepers" the past *two* years in a row, and it's all thanks to its mix of plush cushioning and responsive coils, which together offer targeted support and comfort where it counts. Better yet, its foam layers are designed to dissipate heat 20 percent faster than other memory foam beds, per the brand, and offer total support from head to toe—but especially at the shoulders and lumbar region. Unlike some of the other beds on this list, this baby also has convenient carrying handles and a non-skid backside, so it shouldn't slide every which way when you're changing the sheets (and in case it does, well, you've got the handles to put it back into place in a snap). What more can you ask for? I'll wait, but this early deal won't.

A bed-in-a-box for back pain? Hear me out. This ACA-approved model is actually the upgraded version of the Casper Wave mattress that one former PureWow editor swore by for relieving her back aches. While the Wave has been discontinued, I imagine you won't be disappointed with this newer model that features hybrid layers of foam and flex coils meant to reduce motion transfer and provide prime comfort to your hips, waist and, of course, your lower back. But here's why one buyer is a fan: "I have been sleeping on the Dream Max for around a week and have not woken up once in the middle of the night to roll over. The mattress conforms to every curve of my body, making it incredibly comfortable. The firmness is perfect, too; it is not too firm but not soft. Unboxing it was relatively easy, and it inflated quickly." In other words, it's totally worth the splurge, although you can't put a price on a good night's sleep.

Yet another mattress that might surprise you, the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid has a firm feel and contouring support you might not have thought possible from a bed-in-a-box. Why else do you think it turned Dara Katz, PureWow's executive editor, and her partner into full-on bed-in-a-box believers? The mattress consists of five layers, including a 1-inch Micro Diamond memory foam layer infused with diamond particles which are designed to move heat away from you while you sleep. Then there's a 1-inch transition layer infused with nanocoils, which provide personalized support "while firmer springs along the outside provide excellent edge support," per the brand. As one buyer says, "[It's] worth it. All night and day comfort. Almost no break-in period. I would say it took almost two weeks to feel heavenly and keeps getting better."

A little birdie told me you have a hard time getting (and keeping) your eyes shut come bedtime. In that case, you should seriously consider this all-natural mattress that buyers say helps them sleep longer *and* better throughout the night. I have a strong feeling that has something to do with the bed's lush organic layers that wick away moisture (so you don't wake up from night sweats), support pressure points and joints (so you feel perfectly cradled) and reduce motion transfer (so you don't feel your partner's every toss and turn). With that being said, it's no wonder reviewers claim to catch more quality ZZZs on this bad boy, which also has the benefit of being free from all sorts of toxins and chemicals. This massive percent discount won't be around forever, though, so as one buyer says, "If you’re having any second thoughts, don’t!" You may end up wishing you bought it sooner.
