And you know you can trust our judgment, since we’ve collectively tested dozens—from simple innersprings to plushy memory foams. We’ve hauled these mattresses up walkups and into elevators, assembled them, and slept on them for months (if not years) to make sure they’re worthwhile investments.Featured in this articleBest Mattress-in-a-Box SaleDreamCloud Premier Hybrid MattressRead moreBest Innerspring Mattress SaleSaatva Classic MattressRead moreBest Memory Foam Mattress SaleNectar Classic Memory Foam MattressRead moreMattresses are an investment, which is why we only recommend vetted top brands and discounts well over 50% off their best products. And while you’re shopping, take note that all sorts of accoutrements (think: mattress toppers, pillows, and sheet sets) are also marked down. From hybrid to soft beds, we highlight a few of our tried-and-true picks that are now on big discount, so you can create the sleep sanctuary of your dreams right now.Our Top PicksMore AD-Approved Mattress SalesBest Mattress-in-a-Box Sale: DreamCloudDreamCloud Premier Hybrid MattressDreamCloud Ultra Hybrid MattressDreamCloud, our pick for stomach sleepers and hybrid mattresses, is offering up to 60% off mattresses and 66% off bundles for its Labor Day sale. They make a medium-firm mattress with everything we’ve come to expect: quilted cover, cooling fiber technology, and one inch of memory foam for pressure relief. Plus, you’ll get a 365-night warranty. Our global visuals director Michael Shome tested the Premier Hybrid—our staff’s favorite mattress-in-a-box—and says it’s “moderately firm, but the plush Euro Top adds an extra layer of coziness and comfort.” The Ultra Hybrid option has an extra layer and is considered two times more cooling than Shome’s premier hybrid, making it a solid choice for hot sleepers.Best Innerspring Mattress Sale: SaatvaSaatva Classic MattressSaatva Loom & Leaf MattressWe’ve long praised Saatva for their high-quality innerspring mattresses, and for Labor Day, you can take $400 off orders of $1,000 or more. If we had to pick favorites, it would be the classic innerspring. “The Saatva mattress offers more support and is firmer than mattresses I’ve had in the past,” writes Erin Kaplan, vice president of communications. “It also keeps me much cooler throughout the night—a huge plus for anyone who gets hot while sleeping.” And for those looking for plush comfort, contributor Bailey Berg and her environmental scientist partner found their “unicorn” mattress in the Saatva Loom and Leaf. The memory foam mattress features two cooling gel-infused foam layers and a quilted top layer for extra cushioning. “The supportive foam, it turns out, does a great job of isolating motion transfer,” Berg says in her review. “And the brand wasn’t kidding when it said you’d feel buoyant. I’m a stomach and back sleeper, whereas he’s a strict side sleeper, and we both mentioned feeling like it was the perfect amount of cushioning and contouring to relieve pressure points in either sleeping position.”Best Memory Foam Mattress Sale: NectarNectar Classic Memory Foam MattressNectar Luxe Memory Foam MattressNectar makes memory foam mattresses at mid-range price points, and it’s quickly become a favorite among AD staffers who like a more plush sleep surface. Right now, you can take advantage of deals offering up to 50% off mattresses and up to 66% off bundles. The brand’s classic memory foam mattress is a worthwhile buy, according to contributor Yelena Moroz Alpert. She calls it a “sweet spot for something more premium, but still affordable,” and with a discount, it’s an automatic win for your wallet. Contributor Nick Mafi also tested the mattress, and notes that it is slightly more plush than medium firm—with a surprising give for those who haven’t yet made the leap to memory foam. For even more cooling properties and pressure relief, consider the brand’s upgraded luxe memory foam mattress.Best Side Sleeper Mattress Sale: NolahNolah Evolution 15 Hybrid MattressNolah NaturalNolah prides itself on being one of the best mattresses for side sleepers thanks to its proprietary Cooling Nolah AirFoam, which “provides superior pressure relief, keeps you cool, and contours perfectly to your body.” During Nolah’s Labor Day mattress sales, you can score 35% off sitewide—including the brand’s most popular mattress, the Nolah Evolution hybrid mattress. Audrey Lee, AD’s shopping editor and a self-described mattress snob, has a clear set of standards for her ideal sleep sanctuary: a firm mattress that encourages spinal alignment, with a plush pillow top to support her neck and shoulders as a side sleeper. The mattress that checks all these boxes? None other than the Nolah Evolution, which Lee says, “lives up to its medium firm rating (if not slightly firmer).” She adds that the cushioning pillow top and upper foam transition layers give her plenty of pressure relief, while the bed of coils offers just enough support. For a more eco-friendly mattress, Nolah’s Natural Hybrid Mattress is made with organic latex foam layers and an organic cotton cover.Best Affordable Mattress Sale: ZinusZinus Green Tea Memory Foam MattressZinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea Memory Foam MattressZinus, who makes some of our favorite bed frames, is another established name we’re hoping will offer major discounts on their well-reviewed mattresses during Labor Day. At the time of publishing, the brand was promoting queen mattress deals.We’d use this opportunity to snag the Original Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress at 30% off, which contributor Jacorey Moon says allows him to “sleep like a baby.” “Honestly, it felt like I was cradled in clouds (even if the mattress has a firm feel to it),” he adds, sharing other benefits like zone pressure relief, good motion retention, and breathability. The brand’s most popular design is the Cooling Green Tea Mattress and is sold out, but the premium iteration of the product—the Ultra Cooling Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress—is now $400 off for a queen. It has everything people love about the original mattress, like cooling gel memory foam, along with a cool-to-the-touch cover and the brand’s seven-zone comfort system to provide more pressure relief.Best Sustainable Mattress Sale: PlushBedsThe Botanical Bliss Organic Latex MattressSignature Bliss PillowTop MattressPlushBeds is a California-based mattress company manufacturing luxury mattresses with sustainability in mind. During their ongoing summer sale, you can save up to 50% off mattresses and get white-glove delivery for $199. Contributor Blake Bakkila was an innerspring devotee until she made the switch to the brand’s Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, and now, she can’t go back to the coils. “As a toddler mom, a long, restful night’s sleep isn’t always guaranteed—but this mattress makes it significantly easier to drift off into dreamland,” she shares. “Its three tiers of latex cushioning provides unmatched comfort, and it’s been the ultimate addition to our sleep sanctuary.” If you need a bit more support than an all-foam mattress, there’s the Signature Bliss PillowTop, a hybrid style with a plush organic latex foam pillowtop and bed of encased, motion-isolating coils.Best Hybrid Mattress Sale: AwaraAwara Classic Hybrid MattressAwara Premier Hybrid MattressAwara offers three hybrid mattresses at varying price points: the Essential, Classic, and Premier. The Essential is the most affordable model, starting at $599, and the Premier is the most popular (and most souped-up) style—and now, you can save up to 50% on all mattresses with their Labor Day deals. Alpert tested the Classic, and says the organic materials—including GOLS-certified organic latex and organic New Zealand wool—won her over while she was shopping for a new mattress for her 12-year-old son. While it’s more plush than her own hybrid memory foam mattress (she refers to it as “squishy”), she says the mattress’s benefits outweighed the break-in period. “I would definitely recommend this mattress to a friend who is looking for a new mattress for their kids,” she adds. “All the sustainability elements will definitely make them rest easy at night.”More AD-Approved Mattress SalesBest Hotel Mattress Sale: Stearns & FosterStearns & Foster Estate MattressStearns & Foster Studio MattressA household name, Stearns & Foster was founded in 1846 and continues its legacy with hand-stitched mattresses you’ll find in five-star hotel chains like the Ritz-Carlton. During their limited-time Labor Day Event, you can save up to $900 on select adjustable mattress sets, receive free pillows and sheets with almost all mattress purchases, and score a free gift worth $300 on select mattress and power base purchases. You can also get a free flat foundation on all mattresses (excluding the Studio mattress), and free in-home delivery with every mattress and base order. This makes it even easier to bring home an AD-approved mattress, like the Lux Estate. Senior visuals editor Melissa Maria tested the firmest option, and says the Tempur-Indulge memory foam layer and added pillow top was the secret to a “super supportive but not too firm” feel. “I’m a very light and finicky sleeper and it always takes me time to adjust to any sort of change, but my husband remarked at how well he slept and how much better his back felt after the first couple of nights sleeping on this mattress,” she says. “Although it may be slightly firm for me, I am sleeping very well on this mattress now and I am happy with the decision to get the pillow top for extra cushion.” And while you won’t score the steepest savings, the newest Studio collection is $300 off and constructed with a memory foam layer on top of encased coils designed to help with motion isolation.Best Value Mattress Sale: SertaSerta Tranquility Pillow Top MattressSerta iComfortPro Level Two MattressAnother familiar name in the bunch, Serta has been a trusted bedding source for nearly a century. Right now, you can save up to $900 on mattress and adjustable base sets on the Serta site and Amazon. Shopping writer Julia Harrison’s Five-Star Tranquility Mattress is one of the deals we’ve spotted so far, and is a fairly lightweight innerspring mattress you can set up on your own (a major plus for people living on their own!). “I’m really not one for pomp and frills in my mattress,” Harrison says. “I’m a firm believer that a good mattress has very little going on besides a somewhat plush top to keep you from feeling any sort of spring mechanism going on inside. I instantly slept well on this mattress I think because it’s quite simply: a great mattress.” She adds that it’s exactly medium firm, striking a balanced, Goldilocks feel. For a more high-tech, all-foam alternative, Serta’s iComfort Pro is hundreds of dollars off (and even more discounted when you purchase it with an adjustable set), and it’s prepared with five support zones to help address back pain and cooling components such as a cool-to-the-touch cover and breathable, natural latex foam.Best Organic Mattress Sale: NaturepedicNaturepedic EOS Classic Organic MattressNaturepedic EOS Trilux Organic Latex MattressNaturepedic is a trusted organic-certified brand that’s remained true to its mission, authentically promoting rigorously tested products without greenwashing. The company started with crib mattresses exclusively before expanding their collection to accommodate everyone in the family. For Labor Day, you can take 20% off their mattress, most notably the EOS Classic Organic Mattress. Named the best organic mattress overall, contributor Rachel Fletcher says it’s all about the materials. “The latex, wool, and cotton materials that make up the fill and batting are all of the highest quality and I don’t worry about inhaling toxic chemicals while I sleep,” she says. You can select one of five comfort levels for this hybrid mattress, and Fletcher recommends the “cushion firm” for a medium-firm feel. If you’re not happy with your chosen level, the modular design allows you to remove and swap the firmness layer for free during the first 100-night trial period. Later on, you can buy new layers to adjust your sleep surface over time. If you prefer all-foam, the Trilux offers similar materials and modularity with five comfort configurations using latex foam.Best Innovative Mattress Sale: Tempur-PedicTempurpedic ProAdapt MattressTempurpedic ActiveBreeze Smart BedTempur-Pedic is often highlighted for their NASA testing, which shows in the motion-absorbing, body-conforming proprietary foam material many of our editors prefer over traditional memory foam. During their Labor Day sale, you can save 40% on a Tempur-Cloud Mattress and Ease Power Base and receive a gift valued at $200, or save up to $700 on select adjustable mattress sets. We’re also seeing hundreds of dollars off popular mattresses like the Adapt collection. Global features director Sam Cochran became a believer in Tempur-Pedic mattresses when he brought home the Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt. While he notes it’s a two-person job to set up, he says the comfort is well worth the effort. “I’ve been blown away,” he says. “The combination of materials in this hybrid mattress yields a particularly cossetting surface, yielding to the shape of your body.” He adds that it has a true medium level of firmness and doesn’t retain heat, and is pleased to report that he never feels any tossing or turning from his boyfriend or rescue cocker spaniel overnight. Hot sleepers should take advantage of the discount on the Tempur-Active Breeze Smart Bed, which allows you to adjust the temperature on each side of the bed. Ideal for partners who don’t align on the same temperature, there’s a 30-degree range that heats or cools one or both sides. Plus, you’ll get a free gift worth $300 with your purchase.Best Soft Mattress Sale: BearBear Elite Hybrid MattressBear Pro Foam MattressFamily-owned for more than 25 years, Bear prides itself on its collection of non-toxic mattresses made in the United States. At the moment, you can save 35% off sitewide and get free sleep accessories when you use the code LABORDAY35. Soft mattress devotees need to check out the Elite Hybrid Mattress. Lee tested the extra-firm style, but notes that the level of support doesn’t compromise on softness. She credits the multiple layers of cushioning foam, particularly the copper-infused memory foam for a cooling effect. “While I’m not typically a hot sleeper, in the summer it’s definitely a godsend when you’re looking for any and all ventilation,” she adds. The Pro Foam is another top pick for those who want an all-foam mattress, and its four foam layers work together for a supportive and cushiony medium-firm feel.Best Flippable Mattress Sale: LaylaLayla Hybrid MattressLayla Essential MattressIf you’re worried about committing to just one firmness option, Layla has an innovative solution: All of the brand’s mattresses are flippable, with different firmness levels on each side. One of their biggest sales of the year is underway, promising up to $200 off mattresses, free pillows with mattress purchases, and discounts on other bedding accessories. Contributor Cheryl Dearborne was surprised by the under-$2,000 price tag of the brand’s hybrid mattress, and appreciates the strong edge support and motion isolation provided by the firmer side. “I still feel like I get a soft, luxurious sleep experience,” she says. “Even though I’m a side sleeper, I’ve accidentally fallen asleep on my back since receiving the mattress and still manage to wake up after a full night’s sleep with no problems.” Fortunately, the brand also offers a more affordable mattress starting at $749 for a queen. The Essential is $150 off during the sale, and layered with the brand’s Lux OpenCell+ memory foam, a proprietary foam promoting pressure relief and airflow.
