Labor Day mattress sales 2023: catch them while you still can

1. Saatva Classic: was $1,095 now from $695 at Saatva
Special deal – Saatva's standard Labor Day sale takes between $200 and $500 off orders over $1,000, but you don't want to do that. Instead use our link and you'll get $400 off orders over $1,000, and that means a bigger discount on the top-ranking Saatva Classic. We found this mattress delivered superb comfort, support and durability for less than its luxury rivals when we tested it. With this deal it now costs $1,595 for a queen (down from $1,995), and you'll get a lifetime warranty, plus a full year to trial it.

2. The DreamCloud Mattress: was $839 now from $499 at DreamCloud
Luxury hybrid - You've just missed a DreamCloud flash sale that delivered a 50% price cut, and now the DreamCloud Labor Day sale knocks the company's usual 40% off the price, which means a queen size will cost you $799. This medium-firm mattress is one of America's top beds for back pain, with dedicated lumbar support to ease aches and pains. In our DreamCloud Mattress review we also recommend it as a great choice for hot sleepers, as it sleeps cooler than many other hybrids we've tested. There's a 365-night risk-free trial too, plus a forever warranty.

3. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was $649 now from $399 at Nectar
Best budget - The Nectar mattress is a superb lower-mid-range memory foam mattress and there's 33% off in Nectar's current sale. We think it's the best budget mattress you can buy, and one of the best memory foam mattresses for anyone on a tighter budget. In our Nectar Mattress review we found it to be particularly comfortable for side and back sleeping, with good pressure relief and temperature regulation. However, if you're a particularly hot sleeper, choose the Saatva above or the DreamCloud below, as these offer better temperature regulation properties.

4. Casper Wave Hybrid Snow: was $2,895 now from $2,171.25 at Casper
Lowest price at Amazon - Casper's Labor Day sale takes 20% off most of its mattresses, but there's an extra discount on the Wave Hybrid and Wave Hybrid Snow. So if a premium cooling mattress takes your fancy, now's the time to buy the high-end Wave Hybrid Snow. It features HeatDelete bands, cooling gel and a QuickCool cover to keep temperatures down. This advanced hybrid is now available for $2,546.25 in a queen size, reduced from $3,395. That's as low as the price gets at Casper; it's just been on sale at a lower price in a queen size on Amazon, but we're afraid you've missed that particular boat.

5. Helix Midnight Mattress: was $936.30 now from $702.20 + 2 free pillows at Helix
Best mattress for side sleepers - In last year's Labor Day mattress sale Helix was running tiered discounts, but this year it appears to be sticking to a straight percentage reduction. which is a bit of relief. Right now there's 25% off, which knocks the price of a queen Helix Midnight to $999, which is as good as it gets. Two Dream pillows are included for free, as well. If you're a front sleeper, you might need more support, though, in which case check out the Saatva Classic, or if you want to stick with Helix, the Helix Dusk. 

6. Cocoon by Sealy Chill Memory Foam mattress: was $619 now from $399 + free bedding at Cocoon by Sealy
Affordable cooling mattress – If you tend to sleep hot, check out the Cocoon by Sealy Chill. This memory foam mattress is designed to keep you cool at night, thanks in part to a cover made with phase-change material designed to regulate your temperature as you sleep. There's 35% off right now, with some free pillows and sheets thrown, and the MSRP has actually come down since last year, so you'll pay less this Labor Day than you would have in 2022. You can pick up a queen for $699 (was $1,079), and score $179 in free bedding, too. It's a great option if you suffer with back pain, but side sleepers may find it too firm.

7. GhostBed Luxe Cooling Mattress: was $2,595 now from $1,298 + 2 free pillows at GhostBed
Best cooling mattress – The 'coolest bed in the world' is by no means a cheap mattress, and the price has gone up a bit since 2022. But with 50% off it's pretty well priced for what you get: a queen is now $1,598 (down from $3,195), which is quite a bargain. Also included with purchase are two free cooling pillows (worth $219) plus 10 years of accident protection from stains and spills. The standard 25-year warranty applies, and you get 101 nights to trial it. 

8. Awara Natural Hybrid Mattress: was $1,099 now from $699 at Awara
Best organic mattress – Organic mattresses aren't cheap, but this is a good saving on a popular model by the same company that owns Nectar and DreamCloud (hence the excellent 1-year trial and Forever Warranty). In our Awara mattress review, we found this mattress was on the firmer side, which makes it a great choice for back or stomach sleepers in need of some extra support. There's $400 off the full range in the Awara sale. 

9. Birch Natural Mattress: was $1,498.80 now from $1,124.10 plus 2 free pillows at Birch Living
25% off - The Birch Labor Day sale takes 25% off all mattresses. That means you can bring home a queen-sized Birch Natural Mattress for $1,592.80, which is a solid price for one of the best organic mattresses. A layer of Talalay latex plus a support layer of individually-wrapped steel coils means most sleepers will find comfort and support. A 100-night trial and 25-year warranty apply.

10. Avocado Green Mattress: was $1,399 now from $1,259.10 at Avocado
Best organic mattress – Avocado is taking 10% off most of its mattresses in its Labor Day sale, which means that you can save up to $259.90 on the Avocado Green Mattress. It's available in gentle-firm and medium-firm feels, and is made using organic materials. You can bring home a queen size mattress for $1,799.10 (was $1,999) – which is a decent deal, considering you also get a 1-year trial plus a 25-year warranty with your purchase. 

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was $599 now from $359 at Nectar
Great price - Nectar Labor Day sale takes 33% off everything. That brings the price of a queen down to $699 (from $1,049), and while this is actually standard Nectar pricing, it's well below the average price you'd pay for this size mattress at most other brands. The low price doesn't mean you compromise on quality, though; we sang its praises in our Nectar Mattress review for exceptional pressure relief and good temperature regulation. You get a full year to try it at home, as well, with an industry-leading forever warranty to back your purchase.

Saatva Loom & Leaf: was $1,295 now from $895 at Saatva
$400 off - This luxurious foam-only bed from Saatva delivers top-notch pressure relief for back ache and sore joints, and its gel-infused foam stops it getting too warm. It's a pricier option, but it's a good choice if you suffer from back pain, as it's firmer than many memory foam mattresses, to help keep your spine in correct alignment. The Saatva Labor Day sale takes up to $350 off the Loom & Leaf, but if you use our link you'll instead save $400, getting you a queen size for $1,995.

Bear Original Mattress: was $748 now from $487 + free accessories at Bear Mattress
35% discount - Bear Mattress has a 35% off sitewide sale for Labor Day, which is the same discount it was running back on the 4th of July. The Bear Original is the brand's most affordable cooling mattress, and this is a great time to grab one. The price of a queen is down from $998 to $649, while a twin is just $487. Add to that a free sleep bundle including pillows, sheet set and mattress protector, and you have an outstanding value for money. Memory foam mattresses are prone for trapping heat, but the Bear Original's cooling graphite-gel memory foam will keep you comfortable and well-supported all night long. 

Purple Plus Mattress: was $1,495 now from $1,195 at Purple
Save $300 – The Purple Labor Day sale gets you $300 off the Purple Plus in all sizes. Where this mattress shines is in its pressure relieving properties, but it's also a good choice if you want a cooling mattress. This mattress is medium in firmness, with the GelFlex grid plus an added layer of comfort foam not present in the original Purple mattress. A queen size will cost you $1,595 (was $1,895). Other Purple mattresses are on sale for $200 to $500 off, and you can get further discounts on most models by adding a smart base. 

Siena Memory Foam Mattress: was $499 now from $199 at Siena Sleep
Save $300 - The medium-firm Siena Memory Foam Mattress is a good budget option for your bedroom or for upgrading a guest room. It’s 10 inches tall, an average height for budget boxed mattresses, and uses gel memory foam to boost airflow. There’s also motion-reducing foam to isolate motion from your partner during sleep, with contouring memory foam to give you both a relaxing, body-hug feel. A queen size is down to $399 (was $699) in this year's Siena Labor Day mattress sale; you’ll get 180 nights to trial it too, which is the same trial length as luxury brands such as Saatva. 

Helix Midnight mattress: was $936 now from $702 + free pillows at Helix
25% discount - The Helix Midnight is a hybrid mattress in a box that's especially comfortable for side sleepers, thanks to sink-in memory foam that contours around the sleeper's joints, and prevents pressure from building up in the shoulders and hips while ensuring the spine stays properly supported. For Labor Day, Helix is knocking 25% off mattresses (an increase on its usual 20% off deal), with pillows thrown in for free. Thanks to a drop in an MSRP over the summer, the queen size is now $999, which is the cheapest it's been all year.

Purple Mattress: was $799 now from $599 at Purple
$200 off - Instead of memory foam, the Purple has an elastic gel grid that flexes around the sleeper's joints. It won't trap heat like foams can, and will spring back immediately when pressure is relived, making it easy to change position on too. For Labor Day, there's $200 off all sizes, taking the cost of a queen size down to $1,199. That's the lowest price we ever see on this model, and well worth snapping up (deals only really appear around national holidays like this one). 

Nectar Memory Foam mattress: was $699 now from $359 at Nectar
Save 33% - The Nectar is a great-value, all foam bed-in-a-box. It has a medium-firm feel that'll suit most sleeper styles and body types, and comes with outstanding extras: a full year's trial and forever warranty. For Labor Day, there's 33% off MSRP, with a queen size available for $699; that's a pretty standard Nectar mattress sale price, but still represents incredible value for money.

40% saving - The DreamCloud is surprisingly luxurious for its really affordable price. The hybrid design includes supportive springs and body-hugging memory foam, and it's an excellent choice for anyone seeking a bed-in-a-box that'll sleep cool and offer strong support.

Casper Original Hybrid: was $1,095 now from $876 at Casper
20% reduction - There's up to 20% off most mattresses at Casper for Labor Day, and the Casper Original Hybrid gets the full 20% off. That's a great discount on a quality hybrid mattress that delivers a medium-firm feel, cradling support and low motion transfer. With this limited-time deal you can get a queen size for $1,196; we've noted in the past that Casper can drop bigger flash discounts on sales event days themselves, so it might be worth holding out for a lower price on Labor Day.

Leesa Legend Hybrid Mattress: was $1,999 now from $1,599 at Leesa
Save up to $700 – There are savings across Leesa's full range for Labor Day, but the biggest price drop is on the luxurious Legend model.
