Where to find the best Black Friday mattress deals online once the holiday shopping season begins this November.<\/b>
\nBlack Friday is an excellent time of year to save money on a mattress. Big price drops, extra free gifts, and more offers to choose between than usual make November a brilliant time to bag a sleep-related bargain. So what will the best Black Friday mattress deals be this year – and when will they start? We’ll tell you everything you need to know. Black Friday 2021 falls on November 26, but we predict all the major sleep brands will have launched their Black Friday mattress sales at least a week before this, and we’re expecting to see some genuinely good discounts throughout the month too. Last year, for example, two of the biggest brands launched flash sales – with their cheapest-ever mattress prices – before Black Friday, and didn’t bring those offers back on the day. Stick with us, and you won’t miss out. We’ll bring you all the best Black Friday mattress deals here, as soon as they drop – whether that’s in late October, early November or on Black Friday itself. And if you need to buy a new mattress now, we can help with that too. There are competitive mattress deals all year round. Our top pick comes from leading brand Nectar: the company recently dropped its prices by $100, and the current offer is now the same as its official Black Friday mattress deal last year. We’ve also highlighted more of our favorite current offers further down the page. While the vast majority of the best Black Friday mattress deals will happen in Thanksgiving week, there were a few notable exceptions to this trend last year. Nectar’s cheapest prices of the year, for example, came via a flash sale on November 1. The company removed the free gifts from its usual offer, and instead dropped the mattress prices to their lowest ever. A twin-sized Nectar Memory Foam mattress cost just $374 (down from $499), while a queen dropped from $799 to $599. The normal deal then resumed and remained in place on Black Friday itself. Luxury mattress maker Saatva, too, offered a huge $275 discount on its mattresses a few days before Black Friday – before then returning to its usual $200 discount. We’re expecting to see more flash sales this year, so stay tuned… Another buck from the trend worth noting is that Purple offered a better-value deal on Cyber Monday than Black Friday. We saw it coming though, and if the same thing looks like it\u2019s going to happen again this year, we\u2019ll tell you. We\u2019ll be tracking all the best Black Friday mattress deals here, so if prices drop to their lowest ever before the event we\u2019ll let you know. And if any deal looks like it might be better on Cyber Monday, we\u2019ll give you a heads-up about that too. We think we\u2019ll see many of the same online Black Friday mattress deals this year as in previous years. Here are our top predictions: Short answer: yes. Black Friday is a brilliant time to buy a new mattress. That\u2019s because, as a rule, mattress prices are the lowest you\u2019ll find them all year. However, Black Friday isn\u2019t the only time prices drop this low – we often see Black Friday pricing reappear during the President\u2019s Day mattress sales in February, as retailers look to entice people to start spending again after the holiday sales period. There are plenty of other big mattress sales throughout the year, too. Any national holiday normally has big mattress discounts – the classic is the Memorial Day mattress sales in May, but there are July 4th mattress sales, Labor Day mattress sales and so on. It’s important to point out, though, that while the discounts may look the same in each sale, the actual prices often aren\u2019t. Typically the best time to save money on a mattress is Black Friday and President\u2019s Day; the next lowest prices are usually found on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day; and the worst time to buy a mattress is in the summer sales. Mattresses can cost up to $200 more over the summer than they do in November (even if they have the same \u2018discount\u2019). There are some particular sleep brands that are well worth keeping an eye out for in the Black Friday mattress sales. These companies make superb mattresses that are normally fantastic value anyway, but with a big discount they are not to be missed. Here are the brands we’d recommend looking for\u2026 Nectar Sleep Nectar offers a fantastic value for money mattress deal most of the year, with a cash discount on its award-winning Memory Foam Mattress, plus free gifts. The Nectar mattress is suitable for most sleeping positions and is a firmer and slightly cooler alternative to the Emma Original below. Any Nectar Black Friday mattress deal saving you over \u00a3300 or $499 is well worth considering. Emma offers three mattresses in the UK and one in the US. We love the Emma Original memory foam mattress because it\u2019s comfortable, supportive and affordable. In short, this is the one that proves good sleep needn\u2019t cost the earth. We\u2019ve previously seen discounts of up to 35% on the Emma range, with prices normally starting from \u00a3449 \/ $649 without a deal. So if you see them cheaper in the Black Friday mattress sales, don\u2019t hesitate. Saatva One of the best American mattress brands, Saatva makes luxury sleep products designed to help you feel so comfy in bed, you won\u2019t want to get up. Even though the quality is second to none, Saatva is able to offer lower prices on its mattresses because it doesn\u2019t own any bricks and mortar stores. We\u2019re predicting a discount of $200-$225 on qualifying orders this year, with a price drop on all of the Saatva mattresses. Tempur-Pedic An excellent choice if you suffer from joint pain, or simply enjoy the feeling of being cradled during sleep. Tempur-Pedic\u2019s Black Friday mattress sale offered up to 40% off select models last year, so we’re hopeful of the same in November. While the mattresses are excellent, we\u2019d also suggest looking at the brand\u2019s mattress toppers. These fly off the virtual shelves and last year in America we saw a brilliant 40% discount on the Tempur Topper Supreme, with savings of up to $180. DreamCloud If you want a luxury hybrid mattress without the high price tag, DreamCloud should be on your wish-list. These deep, comfy and contouring mattresses support all sleeping positions and manage to stay breathable thanks to their use of coils (air moves more freely around them). DreamCloud offers similar sale offers to Nectar because it\u2019s owned by the same parent company, Resident Home, which means you can normally look forward to money off and a free gift. You’ll find plenty of Black Friday mattress deals in the UK as well as in the US, and in previous years we have seen very generous sales from the UK sleep brands. Some mattress makers offer free gifts in addition to a discount, while others focus on money off deals. The deals range from a couple of hundred pounds discount to over \u00a31,000, depending on the brand you shop with. Last year, for example, Simba offered a 35% discount on all its hybrid mattresses during the Black Friday mattress sales, with a higher 40% discount on its Hybrid Sleep Bundle. That was a great deal for anyone looking to upgrade their mattress, pillows and duvet all at once. It is a deal we\u2019ve seen from Simba before (away from Black Friday), but the price of the mattresses was cheaper, so the savings were higher. The Tempur-Pedic Black Friday sale is another one to look out for, as you can usually make big savings on the brand\u2019s super-comfy memory foam mattresses. We\u2019ve seen deals of up to 40% off select Tempur mattresses during past Black Friday mattress sales, which significantly reduces the price of these famous beds. So whether you\u2019re shopping for mattresses in the US or the UK, Black Friday traditionally offers some of the best sale offers of the year. We expect 2021 to deliver more of the same. Buying a mattress online is quick, easy and often cheaper than buying from a physical store. Delivery is free, and all the best mattresses now come with long risk-free trials so you can test them properly – by sleeping on them – rather than lying on them for five minutes in a showroom. If you don\u2019t like one, you\u2019ll get a full refund and the company will collect it (usually for free; sometimes less a small collection fee). We\u2019re fully signed up converts to buying mattresses online: the home trials make it far more likely that you\u2019ll end up with the right mattress, and we like that you get more for your money. We also love how easy it is. But if you’ve never done it before, the process might seem daunting – so to help you feel at ease, here are five pro tips for buying a mattress online on Black Friday. 1. Look for at least a 60-night trial The best way to know whether a mattress is right for you is to sleep on it – a quick showroom test just doesn’t cut it. Most leading brands and retailers offer a risk-free trial for exactly this reason, and we recommend looking for a minimum trial period of least 60 days to give your body time to get used to a new mattress (more on that below). We’ll make sure all the top picks in our Black Friday mattress sale round-up come with at least a 60-night trial. In fact, the majority will likely come with 100-nights, and some, such as Nectar, give you an entire year to decide whether you like their mattresses. 2. Check for free returns Most leading brands offer a full refund and free returns if you decide a mattress isn’t right for you, as part of their risk-free trial. However, some companies do charge a small fee for collection – Saatva charges a $75 pick up fee, for example – so do check the policy first. 3. Try a new mattress for three weeks Don’t give up on a mattress if it isn’t immediately comfortable. It can take up to 21 days for your body to adjust to a new mattress – especially if you were previously sleeping on an older or less supportive bed. Even the best mattress in the world could cause aches and pains as your body gets used to it, so make sure you stick a new one out for three weeks before deciding whether you like it or not. 4. Buy from the manufacturer directly (or read third-party T&Cs) We usually recommend buying mid-range and premium mattresses directly from the manufacturer so that you can make the most of their generous sleep trial and warranties. Yes, the likes of Amazon and other retailers advertise the same trial and warranty – but if you buy through a third-party you’re automatically subject to their return policy, not those of the manufacturer. To be eligible for the manufacturer\u2019s trial and warranty, you\u2019ll need to register the mattress on their database after buying it. We’ve seen regular complaints in Amazon\u2019s mattress listings from customers claiming to have been told by the manufacturer that their sleep trial and warranty won\u2019t be honored on Amazon purchases. (So if you do buy through a third party, register your mattress with the manufacturer as soon as you can.) 5. Do the elbow test to get the right size Not sure what size mattress to get? Do the elbow test. Lie back with your hands behind your head. If you share a bed, your elbows should be able to extend without touching your side of the bed or your partner’s elbow; if you don’t share a bed, your elbows should be able to extend without touch either side of the bed. If you need a new bed now and can’t wait for a Black Friday mattress deal, fear not: there are plenty of discounts to browse. Here are today’s lowest prices for our favorite mattresses…<\/p>\n
