A quality mattress helps you sleep better and longer and wake feeling refreshed, but high-end mattresses can be expensive. Searching out the best Black Friday mattress deals can save you hundreds of dollars so your bank balance will be as healthy as your sleep.
Researching ahead of time can help you find the best Black Friday savings on mattresses, as many mattress manufacturers start their deals early in the run-up to Thanksgiving.
Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. — in 2021, that's Nov. 26. However, you'll often find Black Friday mattress deals from popular mattress manufacturers starting in Thanksgiving week, so check on your top choices from around Nov. 22 to catch deals as they go live.
Unless you're desperate for a new mattress, wait to buy until Black Friday sale events start. You'll find the best deals on mattresses at this time of year, so it's worth holding out to save some money if Black Friday is a month or two away. That said, the same deals are sometimes repeated during other national holidays, such as Presidents' Day in February or Memorial Day in May. If you miss the Black Friday sales, keep an eye out for other sales around these holidays.
Although nobody can be 100% sure which mattresses will be offered at a hefty discount during the Black Friday sales until they happen, it's possible to make solid predictions based on previous years. Almost all big-name mattress manufacturers have Black Friday deals — and plenty of smaller manufacturers, too. Since great deals can sell out quickly, you might want to add your mattress of choice to your online shopping basket ahead of time so you can check out as soon as it goes on sale. You can also sign up to the BestReviews mailing list for information on the best deals during Black Friday and the rest of the year.
