The Best MLK Day Mattress Sales At A Glance


Best MLK Day Mattress Sales On Our Top Picks

After extensive testing, the Helix Midnight Luxe became our favorite mattress overall. It earned high marks for its responsiveness, edge support and superior pressure relief. While the mattress may not provide enough support for dedicated stomach sleepers, the Midnight Luxe is an excellent option for just about anyone else, especially combo and side sleepers. Pro tip: Hot sleepers may want to consider splurging on its optional cooling cover for an additional $249. 


Back, side and combo sleepers will appreciate the DreamCloud’s medium-firm feel, plush pillow top and responsive pocketed coils. Overall, the mattress is cushy and pressure-relieving on your joints while still providing a lifted feel. The bed also provides excellent motion isolation—a major pro for couples. 


One of the most popular designs in our mattress shopping guides, the Nectar Premier is our pick for the best memory foam mattress. The bed has dense foam layers that expertly contour and relieve pressure to help promote healthy spinal alignment. As is common with most memory foam mattresses, you’ll feel more “in” than “on” your bed, but we found the newly revamped Nectar Premier to be a bit more responsive than your average memory foam design.


If you’re interested in a plush and cooling mattress, we recommend the WinkBed. The mattress is designed with a cushy Euro pillow top that’s infused with gel to make it more breathable, especially compared to classic pillow-top designs. The bed comes in three firmness levels, but we found they all skewed a bit firmer than average, something to keep in mind while narrowing down your options.


Dedicated back and stomach sleepers should aim for a firm and supportive mattress to help with spinal alignment. We found the Plank Firm to not only be one of the firmest beds we’ve ever tested (and one of few beds endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association), but the flippable design also allows you to trial two different firmness levels to find your ideal sleep fit.  


Supportive and cooling, this hybrid mattress is a great option for a wide range of sleepers. The design comes in three firmness levels, all offering excellent edge support and motion isolation. We found the medium-firm model leans firmer than average, so we recommend the plush model for strict side sleepers or anyone who prefers to feel a little more cradled by their mattress.
