The best Black Friday mattress deals
Black Friday mattress deals 2024: FAQs
When do the Black Friday mattress deals start?
Many Black Friday mattress deals have already started for 2024. It used to be that the sales were usually held back until closer to the actual day itself – which is November 29 in 2024 – but nowadays Black Friday basically lasts for the whole month.
So, if you're browsing today then you should expect to see lots of Black Friday mattress deals already. Manufacturers may also label these as 'early' deals given were still near the start of November, but it's likely that then when these end they will simply roll over the same offers into the full Black Friday sale.
Where can I find the best Black Friday mattress deals?
Right here. Bookmark this page and check back, because we'll be keeping a very close eye on proceedings and updating our roundup with all the best deals as soon as they go live (as well as flagging those that aren't as good as they might appear). We've been covering mattress deals and monitoring prices for all the major brands for several years now, so we know which offers are worth paying attention to.
The best place to shop is direct from the brands themselves such as Saatva, Nectar, Casper, Purple, and more, as they'll usually match anything offered via a third-party retailer. However, it can be worth keeping an eye on places like Amazon to make sure you're not missing a bargain.
If pricing is the same, we always recommend buying direct from the brand rather than via a third-party retailer, because it makes things like trial periods and general customer service much more straightforward. Plus, you often get extra freebies when buying from the manufacturer, such as pillows, sheets and mattress protectors.
Should I wait for a Black Friday mattress deal?
Last year, the deals were pretty good. In general, prices have risen slightly, so it's rare to see historic lows. While mattresses might not be the cheapest they've ever been, we are expecting most brands to match or better their lowest price of the year.
If you're in a bit of a rush, don't panic. In most cases, there won't be a huge saving difference between the current deal and the Black Friday deal. So if you're just looking to make a good saving, and don't mind if the price drops again by another $50/£50, the early mattress Black Friday deals are well worth checking out – and you'll avoid any potential delivery delays later in November.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a mattress?
Short answer: yes. Black Friday is a brilliant time to buy a new mattress. That’s because, as a rule, mattress prices are the lowest you’ll find them all year. However, Black Friday isn't the only time you'll be able to find a good discount – especially for US shoppers.
The President’s Day mattress sales in February often feature very low prices, as retailers look to entice people to start spending again after the holiday sales period. In fact, any national holiday normally has big mattress discounts – the classic is the Memorial Day mattress sales in May, but there are also July 4th mattress sales and Labor Day mattress sales to track at various points throughout the year.
Is it better to buy a mattress on Black Friday or before?
Most brands will launch their Black Friday prices from the start of November. So should you buy your mattress before Black Friday? The benefit of buying early is that by getting ahead of the rush, you might dodge a long delivery time. There's also the issue of stock selling out. This is rare – but not unheard of – but much more common if you're buying a discounted past-season model.
The risk of buying early is that it requires you to be able to tell when a brand has launched its Black Friday pricing. It won't always be clear, as often we'll see the name of a deal change but the offer itself stays the same.
We can help you out here. We've been covering Black Friday mattress sales for several years now and have a pretty good idea of how different brands behave, so we'll let you know when you're good to shop, and when you should hang on a bit.
How else can I save? Should I look for older models?
If you're shopping third party, in particular, you'll sometimes find mega discounts on older mattress models as retailers seek to shift dated stock. While the savings are appealing, make sure you read the small print. Often, these will be classed as 'final sale', which means you won’t be able to exchange, return or receive a price adjustment on it if isn't right, and it won't be covered by any warranties for existing or future damage.
If you're shopping for an older model, avoid being blinded by a massive discount, and remember to check the reviews to make sure you're not better off paying a little extra for a more modern and better-designed mattress.
