Best Presidents’ Day Mattress Sales At A Glance
Best Presidents’ Day Mattress Deals 2025: Editors’ Picks
Our pick for the best memory foam mattress, the Nectar Premier is one of the most popular designs from our mattress shopping guide. It’s marshmallowy soft and delivers the classic “cradling” feel that you expect from a memory foam bed. The newest iteration is more responsive to pressure and provides excellent motion isolation.
This mattress has been listed in our mattress shopping guides for a few years, but it recently secured the top spot for the best mattress overall. Plush yet supportive, the pillow-top design offers a combination of pressure relief, edge support and—at 13.5 inches thick—a nice amount of loft. The crowd-pleasing design is a great option for couples, combo sleepers and side sleepers alike.
Customizable and eco-friendly, the Avocado Green is our pick for the best organic mattress. Aside from using sustainably sourced materials, organic mattresses are a great option for sleepers who struggle with allergies. This design is also customizable, coming in three firmness levels (firm, medium and plush) so sleepers can find their perfect fit.
MOST POPULAR
Thanks to its edge support and overall lifted feel, we named the Saatva Classic the best mattress for seniors. The dual-coil innerspring design is supportive while its plush Euro pillow top cushions joints and helps with optimal spinal alignment. Saatva also offers free white glove delivery and mattress removal, a major perk if you live in an apartment or are otherwise unable to easily move your bed on your own.
The supportive Bear Elite Hybrid is an excellent option for sleepers who suffer from hip or back pain. The design comes in three firmness levels, all of which provide ample hip and shoulder support. Its cushy memory foam layer is also infused with copper and has a cooling cover to help with temperature regulation.
No matter which sleeping position you prefer—back, side or a combination—the DreamCloud delivers a cushy and pressure-relieving rest. The mattress has a medium-firm feel that’s both responsive and cozy, thanks to its pocketed coils and a plush pillow top. It also excels at motion isolation, a feature couples will especially appreciate.
If you’re looking for that deep sinking and cradling sensation from your mattress, our sleep editors recommend the WinkBed GravityLux. The made-to-order bed comes in three firmness levels (we suggest back and stomach sleepers lean towards the firmer model), offers great motion isolation and includes a lifetime warranty.
Sleepers who favor their back and stomach will benefit most from mattresses that prioritize support and spinal alignment. The Plank Firm is one of the firmest beds we’ve ever tested, and its flippable design allows you to trial two different firmness levels to find your ideal sleep fit.
Another great option for back snoozers: If you share a bed, this hybrid design balances much-needed pressure relief, support and motion isolation. It also includes other thoughtful features, like an organic and merino wool cover for breathability, and recycled materials that make it eco-friendly.
Here’s our top recommendation for hot sleepers. Brooklyn Bedding’s Aurora Luxe mattress features copper and gel-infused foam and a cool-to-the-touch cover, which work together to promote better airflow. Alongside temperature regulation, our testers found that this model delivers on support and pressure relief.
This hybrid design is another crowd pleaser. It’s supportive, cooling and comes in three firmness levels—all of which provide excellent edge support and motion isolation. Quick tip: We recommend the plush model for side sleepers or anyone who prefers more of a cradling sensation from their mattress.
The Nolah Evolution 15 was chosen by our editors as the best mattress for side sleepers thanks to its cushy Euro top that gives the mattress a light and airy feel, along with multiple layers that are every bit as supportive as they are pressure relieving. During the brand’s President’s Day sale, take 35% off Nolah mattresses sitewide and receive two free pillows. Forbes Vetted readers also get an additional $50 off on mattress purchases using code FORBES50OFF.
Our editors named the Titan Plus Elite the best mattress for heavy sleepers with shoulder pain thanks to its durable coil base, dense layers of foam and cool-to-the-touch pillow top. This adds up to a mattress that’s as pressure-relieving as it is supportive. It’s currently on sale for 30% off its usual price.
Our editors chose the Stearns & Foster Reserve Collection as the best luxury mattress because of its luxurious style and impeccable performance. From its chic pillow top decorated with a fleur-de-lis to its layers of indulgent Tempur-Indulge memory foam, it’s a great option for side and back sleepers who need an even balance of pressure relief and support. This Presidents’ Day weekend, it’s on sale for $600 off its usual price, and you’ll also get a $300 Visa gift card with your purchase.
If you’re a back or stomach sleeper, a firm mattress is a good choice because it provides ample structure and support without feeling like you’re sleeping on top of a rock. Our editors named the Beautyrest Black Hybrid the best firm luxury option due to its double support layer and substantial comfort. It’s currently on sale for $300 off its usual price.
Our editors love the Plank Firm Natural mattress thanks to its eco-conscious touches that appeal to sustainable-mined sleepers. The mattress features organic cotton and wool at the top and bottom of the bed, while the middle has layers of natural latex and a core of encased coils. It’s on sale for 30% off this weekend only.
The Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid was named the best cooling mattress for a platform bed by our editors thanks to its cool-to-the-touch cover that absorbs body heat and distributes it throughout the mattress. It has a gel-infused comfort layer to further aid heat dissipation, as well as two coil layers to promote better airflow. Save 30% on this mattress over Presidents’ Day weekend.
Our editors named the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid as the best soft mattress thanks to its plush and marshmallowy feel that doesn’t sacrifice support. It’s also a solid option for hot sleepers because the foam comfort layers are designed to be breathable and cooling. It’s currently on sale for 20% off.
The Amerisleep AS5 is designed to be more responsive than other all-foam beds, thanks to its layer of pressure-relieving memory foam that provides cushioning while also adapting to movement. Our editors particularly appreciated its proprietary transition layer, which offers more support under your head, back and legs. Right now, it’s on sale for $500 off its usual price.
Our editors named the Cocoon The Chill one of the best affordable mattresses on the market because with this mattress, you don’t have to pay a premium for added features. It’s particularly great for couples, as it combines a gel-infused memory foam layer for temperature regulation and additional comfort foam for motion isolation, all important features when sleeping with a partner. You can score it this weekend for 35% off.
What To Consider When Shopping Presidents’ Day Mattress Sales
There’s no shortage of Presidents’ Day mattress sales to choose from. Here are a few factors our editors recommend considering to help narrow your search:
Mattress Type
One of the easiest ways to settle on which new bed you want is to decide on a mattress type. This choice should be informed by which materials you prefer and what your sleep style is. Below, we’ve outlined the most common options.
Memory Foam: These beds are great for pressure relief, but their hallmark cradling sensation is a polarizing feature for many sleepers. They’re typically a good option for folks with back pain, and are most popular with side sleepers.
Innerspring: This classic design features supportive coils and usually leans firmer. It’s a good choice for back sleepers who want to maintain proper spinal alignment, as well as stomach sleepers.
Hybrid: As the name implies, hybrid mattresses are made with a combination of two materials—foam and coils. They’re generally crowd-pleasing beds that can accommodate a variety of sleep styles.
Latex: Eco-conscious shoppers as well as sleepers with allergies are often drawn to latex designs. They also tend to be more durable than similar memory foam designs, but often come at a premium price.
Budget
You can find high-end mattresses for upwards of $2,300 and budget-friendly designs for under $400. Establishing a budget early on will help you settle on a few brands to choose from, and prevent you from overspending.
Warranties And Extra Offers
If you’re choosing between two mattresses, getting granular can help. Compare features like longer trial periods (an especially useful protection for online shoppers), robust warranties, white glove delivery services and bedding bundles. All of these offers can add unsung value to your purchase.
