2. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was from $699 now $349 at Nectar
When it comes to picking an affordable mattress that offers excellent value for money, Nectar is our number one choice. The manufacturer's most popular memory foam mattress is discounted to $349 for the twin version or $649 for the queen – that's the same deal we see all year around, but it's still worth considering. This mattress is great quality with exceptional pressure relief and good temperature regulation, as shown in our four-star Nectar Mattress review. Even if you're unsure, free shipping and returns are included, as is a full-year trial. If you decide you don't like the mattress, you can return it and get a full refund.

3. Purple Mattress: $999$899 at Purple

3. Purple Mattress: was from $999 now $899 at Purple
The Purple Mattress is our favorite cooling mattress so definitely one to consider while it's on sale with up to $200 off. Hot sleepers will want to put this one at the top of your shopping list, mainly for the fantastic GelFlex Grid. The neat bit of tech allows air to flow freely while you sleep, moulds around you to offer excellent support and relieve pressure, and minimizes movement so you won't be disturbed by any shuffling in the middle of the night. It's also reasonably priced for a cooling mattress, so good value for money if you're happy to miss out on the thickness and premium feel from other more expensive brands.

4. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: $839 $449 at DreamCloud

4. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: was from $839 now $449 at DreamCloud
The headline of DreamCloud's 4th of July sale is the discount of up to 50% on all mattresses across the store. Of everything that's on offer, we'd recommend the DreamCloud Hybrid as we think it's the best hybrid mattress you can buy and you can now get a queen-size for $665. It offers a superior blend of comfort and support while also being significantly cheaper than the equivalent mattress from Saatva. Of course, you don't get the same premium feel, but if you need a more budget-friendly and affordable mattress and don't want to compromise too much on quality then the DreamCloud Hybrid is a smart buy.

5. Casper Snow: was from $1,875 now $1,310 at Casper
Casper's 4th of July sale gives you up to 35% off all mattresses across the site. Of these, the Casper Snow is a great pick-up if you are shopping for a premium cooling mattress. The cooling Snow cover, HeatDelete bands and Phase Change Material all work to smartly disperse heat throughout the night. There are also different support zones and hybrid technology to maintain the levels of comfort and control you'd expect from a memory foam mattress.

6. Helix Midnight Mattress:$936.30 $702.20 at Helix Sleep

6. Helix Midnight Mattress: was from $936.30 now $702.20 at Helix Sleep
Here's a mattress that's our top pick for side sleepers. Thick layers offer superior cradling, and the contouring foam ensures pressure is evenly spread while still providing great support. If that's what you need, then you can get up to 30% off all Helix mattresses in the 4th of July sales. That brings the queen-sized Midnight back down to under $1,000 after it dropped that low earlier this year. Plus, you get two free pillows included with your purchase, alongside the manufacturer's usual 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty.

The Avocado Green is the manufacturer's hero product, with its assortment of organically certified materials that make it a more eco-friendly purchase. Alongside those noble sustainability initiatives, we also found that it's an impressive mattress in our Avocado Green Mattress review. We fully recommend it for back sleepers and heavy sleepers who are likely after a firmer option. There's a 15% discount across all sizes right now.

4th of July Mattress Sales - FAQs

Got a burning question or query about this year's 4th of July mattress sales? We've got all the answers right here so you can make the most of event and come away with exactly what you need for the best price.

How to find the best 4th of July mattress sales

We've been tracking the July 4th mattress deals for a few years and while deals are available online and in-store, the best sales are usually found online. 

That's because online mattress manufacturers don't have to pay the same costs as those with bricks-and-mortar stores. Those savings are then passed on to you in the form of cheaper prices. Free bedding gifts are normally bundled in by some manufacturers, too, making them even more competitive compared to in-store sales.

Is July 4th a good time to buy a mattress?

TechRadar has extensive experience of reporting on mattress sales and we know from tracking them over the past few years that there are a few times each year that are better than any other for buying a new mattress. These are:

  • Black Friday
  • Cyber Monday
  • Presidents’ Day
  • Memorial Day
  • 4th of July
  • Labor Day

Mattress prices rise in the summer months, making the 4th of July mattress sales your last big opportunity to secure a cheaper price before the summer price hikes kick in. 

From our analysis of past trends, prices tend to remain at this higher level until Labor Day in September and then fall again at the end of November to coincide with the Black Friday mattress deals. Most of these then run straight through into the Cyber Monday mattress deals.

So if you need a new mattress and can’t wait until November, the 4th of July mattress sale events are your best option this side of summer. Not all are worth buying though, so read our tips below on how to pick the best deal for you and avoid any duds.

How to pick the best 4th of July mattress sales

As with any other big shopping event, you’ll be bombarded with endless sale offers and deals. Brands will shout about how their 4th of July mattress sale is their best yet thanks to cheap prices and huge discounts, but how do you know if this is true or pure marketing hype? 

Here are our top tips for telling the difference between a great deal and a dud:

1. Check the price history of the mattress

If you’re buying on Amazon, you can use price tracking software such as Camel Camel Camel. Fact-checking prices when shopping direct from manufacturers is tricker but not impossible. 

One way to do this is to run a search for the mattress you’re interested in buying, plus the word ‘sale’ or ‘deal’. Only look at articles from this year as prices will naturally increase year on year. 

Also keep in mind that inflation is pushing up prices on lots of products, including mattresses, so higher prices are to be expected now regardless of the time of year. However if the 4th of July mattress sale price is considerably more than last month’s price, look elsewhere. 

TechRadar covers monthly sales from leading mattress manufacturers, so you could use our following guides in your research too:

2. Only buy a mattress if it has a trial period

This is non-negotiable for us, as a trial period means you can sleep on the mattress at home for a set period of time before fully making up your mind. Lying on a mattress in store for 10 minutes simply doesn’t compete with a proper at-home mattress trial, and depending on the online manufacturer or retailer you buy from, you’ll get a 100 night trial. 

Here’s something to watch out for though: if a brand offers free shipping and free returns, that trial is considered ‘risk free’. If the brand charges a returns fee (also called a processing fee), then it isn’t risk free as there’s a cost to you should you choose to return the mattress. 

3. Only shop a 4th of July mattress sale if the returns policy is clear

Any decent mattress manufacturer or retailer will include a link to their returns policy at the bottom of the main (homepage) of their website. It should contain the following information:

  • What the returns process involves
  • When you can initiate it (some brands won’t accept returns until you’ve slept on your bed for 30 nights)
  • Any associated costs to you
  • A link to the warranty information so you can see what is and isn’t covered if you keep your new mattress
