The Best Early Labor Day Mattress Deals

There are lots of reasons to be excited about Labor Day. (A long weekend! A last summer hurrah! Another chance to use the grill or hit the beach!) One of these many reasons is great sales, particularly for big-ticket items like mattresses. We test and review dozens of mattresses here at WIRED, covering everything from the best mattresses ever to which ones to use if you’re a hot sleeper or suffer from back pain.

Not only do we test mattresses, we vet the sales and track pricing all year long, too. With that knowledge in hand, we’ve narrowed down the best sales you can shop right now if you’re looking for a mattress, plus which models we recommend buying. We’ve even got some exclusive codes to use if you want better than the standard deal. So don’t sleep on it, and get shopping. PS—all prices are for queen-size models.

Best Labor Day Mattress Sales

After vetting every mattress sale we’ve seen, and scoring a few custom codes, these are the best sale prices you’ll find ahead of Labor Day. We’ll update this guide as we get closer to Labor Day with any changes that might make these sales better (or worse!).

Saatva

Saatva’s Labor Day sale has up to $600 off your purchase, depending on how much you spend. It’s a solid deal, though we often see Saatva mattresses available for a similar price cut. But that becomes a great deal with our coupon link, which gives you a full $400 off the MSRP of any mattress. Usually you’d need to spend over $3,500 to get that big of a discount, and we often find these mattresses on sale for around $300 off, so this is a better price than we often find. You can either click here for all Saatva mattresses, or click on the links below to directly see the Saatva mattresses we love best. The coupon is automatically applied after you click one of these links.

Nolah

Nolah is another one whose mattresses we see on sale quite often, especially for the price it has right now. The site is running up to 35 percent off, plus two free pillows, but you can get an extra $100 off with the code WIRED100 (apply at checkout!) from now through Labor Day. Our favorite model from Nolah’s offerings, the Evolution 15, is great for spine alignment if you’re a side sleeper.

Helix

Helix’s early Labor Day sale is already underway, and you can get a slightly better discount—27 percent off instead of 25 percent—with the code WIRED27, plus two free Dream Pillows with any mattress purchase. You can apply the code during checkout. Helix makes some of our favorite all-around mattresses, including the Helix Midnight Luxe, our top pick from our Best Mattresses guide. The discount isn’t the best we’ve seen compared with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, but we’re a huge fan of Helix’s mattresses, and our code will still get you a slightly better price than Helix’s current sale.

Birch

Birch is made by the same folks over at Helix, but the Birch line is eco-friendly and makes some of the best organic mattresses out there. Birch is running a 25 percent off sale plus two free pillows for any mattress purchase (use the code LDW25 at checkout). It’s similar sale to what we saw Birch run around the fourth of July and Memorial Day, but still a solid deal. But if you want a better deal, furniture store Raymour & Flannigan is also running a sale and currently selling Birch’s Luxe Natural Mattress for $200 cheaper than Birch. Both have the more affordable Birch Natural for the same price, though.

Avocado

Avocado makes our favorite organic mattress, and for Labor Day the company is running an up to 20 percent off sale. The mattress that we recommend is currently 15 percent off, but only $100 off the usual price, since we often see a 10 percent discount of some kind for Avocado. This is a little better than we usually find, and the same price we’ve seen for other big deal events like Memorial Day.

Leesa

Leesa has made fantastic mattresses for years that tend to always find themselves as our top runner-up mattress recommendation. The Leesa Sapira Hybrid was our number two pick for years as a great all-around mattress, especially for the price (and that’s before the Labor Day sale!), while the new Leesa Sapira Chill recently jumped into that spot with its fantastic cooling cover. The sale isn’t great so far, but it includes two free pillows.

Casper

Casper is pretty famous in the mattress-in-a-box world. The brand recently remade its entire mattress line, and Casper’s new base mattress, The One, is now our favorite all-foam mattress. It’s already a super affordable mattress, but it’s still on sale for Labor Day for a nice little discount. We usually see it for under $900, and now you can get it for $800 instead.

Other Labor Day Mattress Sales

These sales aren’t as great as the ones above, and are often sales you can find year-round. Still, it’s a fine price we’d usually recommend buying these mattresses for, even if it’s not the best discount in town. We’ll update this guide as we get closer to Labor Day with any changes that might make these sales better (or worse!)

Brooklyn Bedding

I’m a recent convert to plank-style mattresses after trying Brooklyn Bedding’s Plank Firm Natural mattress. But we like a few different firm mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding, all of which are on sale right now for 25 percent off with the code LABORDAY25. The code should be automatically applied when you add the mattress to your cart. It’s not a great sale—this is usually the price we see these mattresses listed for. Still, usually we recommend buying them at this price.

Bear

Bear makes our favorite side sleeper mattress, the Bear Elite. Bear is running an up to 35 percent off price right now, but the $1,499 price is one we usually see it available for, so it’s not a particularly exciting sale. Still, it’s the price we recommend scoring it for over the higher price tag it does go up to from time to time.

Purple

If you’re a hot sleeper, start shopping: we think Purple makes the best cooling mattress. Purple’s site has up to $500 off the Restore line, but our recommended mattress is only $300 off—and we often see it for $300 off anyway. Still, it’s a great mattress if you want to sleep cooler at night.
