Our Top Picks for the Best Early Black Friday Mattress Sales
All prices shown are for queen size mattresses unless otherwise noted.
Throughout the bed-in-a-box boom, Saatva has bridged the gap between traditional mattresses and the bevy of DTC brands that are now occupying the space. Thanks to elevated materials and white-glove delivery, its made-to-order luxury mattresses have quickly become a darling of the sleep world. The brand is ahead of the game with $300 off sitewide orders of $1,000–including the Saatva Classic and AD contributor Bailey Berg’s favorite Loom & Leaf memory foam mattress. Berg gets a good night’s sleep because of its Goldilocks blend of breathable comfort and sustainability, which go along nicely with its impressive durability and cooling gel memory foam that is ideal for hot sleepers. (Though if you prefer an innerspring mattress to memory foam, opt for the Saatva Classic mattress to match your sleep style.)
Contributor Katy Olson suspected the “firm, but not overly so” Avocado mattress helped relieve some of her nightly allergy sneezing. The brand makes its mattresses with 100% natural latex rubber grown on sustainable farms, along with GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool, ensuring that there are no harmful chemicals or toxic fire retardants. And during their sitewide sale, the brand is taking up to 15% off on all its organic mattresses. (You can also score up to 50% on bedding like mattress toppers or a sheet set and 10% on pillows and bed frames and furniture.)
Even though Wayfair already keeps things pretty affordable, the deal has sweetened even more thanks to the brand’s sale events this season—including Way Day—during which you can score up to 80% off. Get a top mattress that’s just right for you, whether that’s with motion isolation or cooling technology.
We’ve tested five different Casper mattresses and can safely report all of them feel like a dream—so needless to say, the early Casper Black Friday sale is one we strongly advise you shop. Right now the mattress brand is offering up to 25% off a mattress purchase. This includes Casper’s Snow Max Cooling Hybrid Mattress, which AD contributor Wilder Davies described as having great temperature-regulating qualities and support for multiple sleep positions, especially side sleeping. So if you’re looking for a new mattress, it’s nearly impossible to go wrong when you shop this sale.
For all you plush foam lovers, who wouldn’t want to sleep on a mattress from a brand called “Puffy”? Just the name inspires dreams of a plush mattress that will cocoon your body into a state of restful slumber and easy dreaming. Indeed, global features director and mattress reviewer Sam Cochran reported a similar experience when trying out the brand’s Lux Hybrid Mattress—which combines three layers of foam with a firm core support and contour-adapt coils. As a side sleeper who’s only ever slept on traditional coil mattresses, Cochran found himself “pleasantly surprised” by the pressure relief and how much of a comfortable and cooling mattress the Lux Hybrid was each night. “I love the feeling of sinking into it at night, the way the foam gives beneath your body,” Cochran says. “It really feels like the end of the day, an easy transition into relaxation mode and a nice wind down to REM cycle.” You can get this mattress at a discount—over $1,000 off mattresses—during the brand’s fall sale.
Right now you can head to Purple to snag up to $300 off a high-quality mattress. Sleeping on one of Purple’s proprietary polymer latex mattresses feels like being cradled but is still supportive with a medium-firm feel—at least according to our editorial operations director Diane Dragan. “Even though I thought I was Team Firm Mattress for life, Purple may be my new fave with its body adjustability combined with springs underneath,” Dragan says.
Our tester said that her DreamCloud mattress felt more luxe than the price would suggest, giving it an 8/10 comfort rating. She noted that the box is heavy upon delivery, but the bed is easy to unbox and set up once it’s found its place in the bedroom. The hybrid bed is a perfect blend of soft and firm and springs back into place right after she gets up, with no indent left behind. During DreamCloud’s sale, you can save 60% off any one of the brand’s high-quality mattresses and get $599 worth of accessories included with the purchase.
