These 19 Black Friday Mattress Deals And Sales Are Already Live

Must read

Black Friday is still several weeks away and won’t arrive until Nov. 29, but some retailers are already rolling out early Black Friday mattress deals. Among the early offers, you can find markdowns on a list of our sleep editors’ favorite beds, including 27% off the Helix Midnight Luxe, their pick for the best mattress overall.

Keep in mind that many of these early Black Friday deals aren’t the absolute lowest prices of the month—in most cases, you can save an extra 5 to 10% on beds once Black Friday and Cyber Week actually arrive. But if you need a new bed ASAP, or you’re fine with taking advantage of a solid deal so that you can check mattress shopping off your list, now is a good time to shop. Here are the best offers available so far, including eight models our editors have tested firsthand.

Best Early Black Friday Mattress Deals On Our Top Picks

We named the DreamCloud Premier Rest one of our favorite mattresses for pressure relief. Its ability to comfortably balance cushion and support accommodates a wide variety of sleep styles, so it can work for just about anyone. Overall, we found the mattress has a medium-firm feel, but its plush topper gives it a little extra cushion.


This design received top marks during testing for its motion isolation and pressure relief. (We also thought it offered excellent edge support, which helps make the bed feel bigger and a little more luxe for couples who share a bed.) Add to that its lofty 13.5-inch height and cozy pillow top, and the Helix Midnight Luxe was an easy pick for the best mattress overall.


Hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of comfortable foam and supportive innersprings and trade off the less popular aspects of each. With the Leesa Sapira Chill, the result is a balanced bed that provides pressure relief, zoned support and a pleasant little bounce. It also helps regulate body temperature if you’re prone to sleeping warm. 


If you or your partner sleep hot, our favorite cooling mattress may help. Brooklyn Bedding’s Aurora Luxe design is a hybrid model that focuses on temperature-regulating features like a cool-to-the-touch cover, gel-infused foam and coiled layers that help promote airflow. The bed also comes in three firmness levels, so you can choose the one that best suits your sleeping style.  



Memory foam mattresses are great for relieving pressure and curbing excess movement in the night. That said, we found this Nectar design to be a bit more responsive than your average memory foam mattress, so it’s easier to change positions in the night. Its moisture-wicking cover also helps disperse heat more effectively than your classic memory foam design.  


We recommend the Winkbeds Gravitylux for couples seeking a firmer mattress. The popular memory foam bed comes in three firmness levels, but its firm option offers ample support for those looking for an extra lifted feel. It’s a great option for anyone who appreciates the contouring feel of memory foam but could do without the “sinking” feeling that’s often attributed to foam beds. We also found the Gravitylux to be better at regulating temperature than many other memory foam mattresses we’ve tested. 


Saatva’s Rx Mattress was specifically designed to help with chronic back pain. Its hybrid design is supportive and breathable with additional lumbar reinforcements, and does a great job isolating motion throughout the night. Saatva also offers free white glove delivery of your new mattress and removal of your old one.


If you’re looking for an eco-friendly bed, we like the Avocado Green Mattress. The responsive and breathable design is made of certified organic materials, including comfortable latex foam and cotton, and comes in three firmness levels, so that you can find the best fit for your sleeping style.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Black Friday A Good Time To Buy A Mattress? 

Yes, Black Friday is an excellent time to buy a new mattress. In general, shopping holidays (and holiday weekends) are when you can find the best discounts on big ticket items, and Black Friday is no exception. The shopping holiday typically brings about some of the lowest prices of the year on mattresses.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday 2024 falls on Nov. 29.

Is It Better To Buy On Black Friday Or Cyber Monday? 

Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales tend to blend into one another, meaning you typically see the same (or similar) offers on both shopping holidays. However, many retailers will likely save their best discounts for the official shopping holidays, Nov. 29 and Dec. 2.
