If you’re looking for a great mattress and a great deal, you’re in luck: Labor Day mattress sales are already in full force. A number of top brands such as Tuft & Needle, DreamCloud and Casper have rolled out steep discounts and freebies ahead of the three-day weekend. Get expert shopping advice delivered to your phone. Sign up for text message alerts from the deal-hunting nerds at Reviewed. At Reviewed, we’re serious about testing products, including the best mattresses. In our sleep lab, we run a gamut of tests to evaluate bounciness, motion transfer, heat retention and more. With that in mind, here are the best Labor Day sales you can shop right now. We love the Tuft & Needle Original mattress for its firm but slightly supple sleep surface. The all-foam mattress is great for people who tend to sleep on their stomach and back, as it provides ample support for the spine. During its Labor Day sale, you can score at least 10% off any Tuft & Needle mattress, with the Original starting at $580.50 for a twin and a queen size ringing up at $805.50. The company also sells the slightly softer Mint mattress. Though we haven’t tested it, Tuft & Needle recommends it for anyone who prefers a less firm sleep surface—which might make it better for side sleepers, in particular. It’s currently 15% off and starts at $633.25 for a twin and $1,015.25 for a queen. Leesa is the manufacturer of our Upgrade Pick, the Leesa Hybrid. It’s one of the best mattresses we’ve tested, but it also carries a steeper price. Our tester loved the mattress for its firm but forgiving surface that she felt was well-suited for all sleep positions. Through Labor Day, the Leesa Hybrid is up to $300 off, with a queen ringing up at $1,549 (a savings of $250). King and California king sizes see the steepest price cut at $1,699—$300 off their MSRP. In addition to getting two free pillows with your purchase, you can also save on bundles with mattresses and bases. The Leesa Hybrid was one of a handful that worked surprisingly well for side and stomach sleeping, which require different amounts of support. It was firm enough to keep our tester’s lumbar spine from feeling worse for wear, but soft enough for cradling the pressure points at her hips and shoulders. What’s more, the mattress kept fairly cool in both her experience and in our lab assessments. Shop the Leesa Sale Looking for something that ships straight to your door but feels more like a traditional innerspring mattress? The Awara organic luxury hybrid mattress may fit the bill—and the brand is offering $400 off its mattresses and $499 worth of accessories. We found it has a firmer surface and phenomenal edge support (meaning the sides don’t collapse when you sit or lie down on them). Another upshot? The Awara is made with latex foam, which is cooler than most memory foams. Sure enough, our testers think it’s a great choice for those who run warm. The company makes eco-friendly claims, too, and its Labor Day sale keeps that at the forefront. Awara says it will “plant ten trees for a farmer in need” for every mattress purchased during Labor Day weekend. Though we couldn’t vet the offer and how it selects farmers, no other company featured any sustainability measures in conjunction with sales for the weekend. For those eyeing a hybrid, the Amerisleep AS3 mattress is a super firm option. It pairs a sturdy core with a supple upper layer for the best of both worlds. (Our tester, who prefers firmer mattresses in general, still found it took a few days to acclimate to this one.) You can save up to 30% and receive a handful of freebies with your purchase. The twin size AS3 is $804 with the discount, and goes up to $1,328 for a regular or California king. The company is one of a few that offers a split king ($1,678). Twin or full-size mattresses come with one cooling pillow, and larger sizes come with two. The Amerisleep has reasonable edge support and stays fairly cool, though it isn’t quite as good as the Awara and a few others. The Nectar mattress was previously our best mattress overall. When we recently revisited it, our tester felt it was comfortable and especially good for people who tend to sleep on their side and want a mattress that can cushion their shoulders and hips.
