Memorial Day is a few days away, and the top mattress brands are already running big savings on popular beds. Now is a great time to take advantage of their generous or free sleep bundle that includes sheet sets, pillows and mattress protectors with a mattress purchase. Or simply save when you buy sleep accessories on their own.
I've put together the best Memorial Day mattress deals out there. I've been testing and writing about mattresses for years, so you can rest assured I know what's a good deal and what's not. I'll update this list periodically, so check back for the latest sales.
Note that the prices listed for these Memorial Day sales are for queen mattress sizes.
Best Memorial Day mattress sales going on right now
You can get up to 40% off mattresses from mattress giant Nectar. I consider Nectar mattresses generally affordable compared to other brands, so up to 40% off is hard to beat. If you love memory foam, look no further than Nectar’s slow-responding memory foam beds.
You can get the flagship memory foam Nectar mattress for $649 instead of $1,099 or the hybrid version for only $799. Even higher-tier beds from Nectar are on sale. The memory foam Nectar Premier mattress is only $949 for Memorial Day.
DreamCloud continues to offer some of the most generous mattress sales on the market. Most brands average between 25% and 35% off. DreamCloud’s Memorial Day mattress sale is up to 50% off beds. For beds that are as high quality and comfortable as DreamCloud, I’d say this is one of the best deals going on right now.
That means you can get the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress for $665 and the DreamCloud Premier for $949. Premium hybrid mattresses for under $1,000 are few and far between.
During Mattress Firm's Memorial Day sale, which lasts until June 11, you can save up to $700 on select top brands, including Serta, Purple, Beautyrest and more. Not only that, but you can score a free adjustable base with your purchase (up to a $499 value) if you apply the code ELEVATE at checkout.
WinkBeds is running a $300 off mattress sale for Memorial Day. While it might not seem like the most generous sale, it’s a good chance to get luxury mattresses for less. The sale includes one of my favorite mattresses, The WinkBed, which you can get for $1,499 right now. If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option, The EcoCloud is also on sale for $1,699.
Brooklyn Bedding is running a Memorial Day mattress deal of 25% off everything, including our best overall mattress pick, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature. You can snag a queen-sized Signature Hybrid mattress for $999 during the sale. If you’re a hot sleeper, opt for one of our favorite cooling mattresses, the Aurora Luxe, which is available for $1,699.
To take advantage of this Memorial Day sale from Brooklyn Bedding, use code MEMORIAL25. The sale ends May 27.
Saatva’s Early Access mattress sale is up to $600 off mattresses. Saatva makes some of the most high-quality luxury mattresses out there. That means they’re also more expensive than other options.
The more expensive the mattress, the more you’ll get off with this sale. For example, the Saatva Classic mattress, which retails for $2,095, is available for $1,795. That’s $300 off. While it’s not the biggest sale you’ll see, Saatva offers a level of luxury that you can’t get anywhere else.
You can get up to $800 off mattresses and bases during Purple’s Memorial Day mattress sale. Savings will depend on the mattress you’re interested in. The Purple Restore bed, our pick for the best hybrid mattress, is $300 off and $600 off if you also buy the adjustable frame. The higher-priced beds will have a higher discount, like the Purple Rejuvenate, which you can get for $4,995.
You can’t get the uniqueness of the Purple Grid anywhere else. That means that Purple beds are pretty expensive. So it’s nice to see a couple hundred off the top of that high price tag.
For Memorial Day, Helix is offering 25% off everything across the site and 30% off Luxe and Elite Models, which are the higher-tier beds from Helix. You’ll also get two free pillows with your purchase.
Helix does beds differently from other brands. The Helix design targets specific sleeping preferences, with some of the most high-quality mattresses at affordable pricing. Our selection of the best mattress for plus-sized sleepers, Helix Plus, is on sale for $1,099.
The 25% off is auto-applied when you check out, but you’ll need to use the code MEMDAY30 to get that extra 5% on Luxe and Elite beds.
If you’re interested in a flippable mattress with two firmness options, consider Layla. Layla beds are some of the most comfortable flippable beds you can get. For Memorial Day, you can get up to $200 off with two free pillows included with your purchase.
While $200 off might not seem as big as other brands, Layla’s mattresses are already generally affordable compared to other options. The Hybrid mattress is now $1,499. Several other sleep essentials from Layla are also discounted, like the weighted blanket, sheets and adjustable bases.
Bear is running a 35% off sitewide sale for Memorial Day, which will bring the cost of the Bear Original mattress down to only $649. This is one of the cheapest beds you can get online. The Elite Hybrid, Bear’s most luxurious hybrid bed, is $1,499 instead of $2,305.
If 35% off isn’t enough, you also get two free pillows, sheets and a bed protector when you buy a mattress during Memorial Day. That’s a $400 value in sleep accessories. It’s one of the more generous sales going on right now.
Titan offers exceptionally supportive mattresses that are perfect for plus-sized sleepers. You can get either of the popular beds from Titan for 30% off when you use code MEMORIAL30.

Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Memorial Day is one of the biggest times for mattress discounts. Not only will you see some of the most generous sales or bundles, but it also has a long runway. Memorial Day mattress discounts hang around for three weeks minimum, meaning you have more chances to save.
The average sale will be between 20% and 35%, although some brands like DreamCloud offer higher sales. If you've been researching beds and seriously considering buying one, Memorial Day is one of the best times to buy.
How much should you spend on a good bed?
As with anything, the cost of a bed depends on what it's made of, the size and the bed's durability. There's no one number that you shouldn't cross or go below; it depends on what you want and your budget.
The average cost of an online mattress is between $800 and $1,200. There are extremely comfortable and quality mattresses at every price point. You can get budget mattresses like the Dreamfoam Doze for under $500 or luxury beds that cost well over $2,500.
That's why it's so important to define your budget. Holidays like Memorial Day are also a good way to offset the cost and get higher-quality beds for less.
