It’s no secret—to our sleuthing staff, anyway—that Memorial Day weekend is one of the best times to find steep deals on mattresses, and all their accoutrements (think: mattress toppers, pillows, and sheet sets). But it is perhaps less widely known that many of the best memorial day mattress sales start before the actual weekend itself. We scouted the best existing and upcoming deals on mattresses so you can save a buck or two (see: hundreds to thousands) on the sleep essential. Plus, you can trust our taste in comfort and aesthetics because we’ve tested many a mattress. Laying down thousands on a mattress is no easy thing, but vetted top brands and major discounts make it hurt a little less. We’re keeping a close eye on all Memorial Day mattress sales as they drop, and will keep uploading this list with our tried-and-true favorites as we get closer to the big holiday weekend.
Our Top Picks for the Best Early Memorial Day Mattress Sales:

Nectar is offering up to 50% off their mattresses (and a hefty 66% on bundles) to celebrate the holiday weekend. We’ve tested and loved their mattresses (and mattress toppers!), landing them on our best mattress-in-a-box list. Contributor Nick Mafi tested their memory foam mattress, and found it just less than medium firm—with a surprising give for those who haven’t yet made the leap to memory foam. Their hybrid mattress also receives high marks from customer reviews for its medium firm, contouring, and temperature-regulating abilities.

With code MEMDAY25, you can score 25% off sitewide, plus a free mattress protector, a free white sheet set, and a free bedding bundle with a Helix Luxe or Elite Mattress Purchase. That’s a lot of things you were going to have to buy eventually that now come with this AD-approved mattress brand. Contributor Jacqueline Wladis calls the Midnight Luxe model “the pinnacle of luxury when it comes to mattresses.”

We have a whole article spotlighting mattresses from this behemoth retailer that are up to snuff. They’re recurrently offering up to 40% with limited-time deals on select mattresses before and during the holiday sale. Our Helix recommendation is 25% off, and our Tuft & Needle pick is discounted to just over $1,000 for a cooling, comfy feel that contributor Anna Fixsen says is “blissful” and “plush.”

Purple is pro-comfort and anti-memory foam—they’ve patented their GelFlex Grid, which doesn’t trap heat as some memory foams might, while providing adaptive, all-over pressure relief and comfort. All that at up to $700 off, plus up to $300 off an adjustable base with any mattress purchase. Pillows, sheets, and mattress protectors are also on sale, if you want to go the whole nine yards.
