Mattresses typically go on sale during major U.S. holidays and certain seasonal periods when retailers offer their biggest discounts. The best times to buy a mattress are:
- Presidents’ Day (February)
- Memorial Day (end of May)
- Independence Day (4th of July)
- Labor Day (early September)
- Black Friday (fourth Friday of November)
- Cyber Monday (right after Black Friday)
Besides these holidays, other good times include new product launch seasons in late winter/early spring (March-April) and late summer (August-September), when older models are discounted to make room for new inventory. Amazon Prime Day in mid-July is also a noteworthy sale event for mattresses, especially online. Weekdays may sometimes offer additional in-store deals due to lower foot traffic. In summary, the months with the best mattress sales tend to be May, September, and November, aligned with the holidays Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Black Friday respectively. Other holiday weekends and special sales events are also prime opportunities to find discounts.
