First-time Black Friday mattress shoppers, here’s what to keep in mind when hitting the sales.
The holiday shopping season is a good time to pick up a mattress for less than normal, so if you have been waiting to find a good price on the best mattress for your sleep needs, now is the time to buy. That’s because this year’s Black Friday mattress deals have finally arrived and there are decent savings to choose from, with up to 50% off from leading sleep brands including Nectar, PlushBeds, Serta, Emma, DreamCloud, Saatva and more. But choosing between these Black Friday deals can seem overwhelming at first, so where do you start? Right here, with our stress-free beginner’s guide to Black Friday mattress shopping. We’ve created it to help you find your dream bed with ease — and with the biggest possible discount. So here’s what to keep in mind when shopping for a mattress during the Black Friday, beginning with two of our favourite offers so far… Memory foam mattresses are designed to provide pressure relief and a cradling effect on your body, where you sink slightly into the bed. This makes them a great choice for side sleepers who need extra cushioning around their hips, shoulders and knees. Innerspring mattresses combine coils with soft padding and are great for stomach sleepers. Latex is naturally cooling and bouncy, so these mattresses are fast to respond to changes in movement, making them ideal for combi sleepers and couples. Hybrid mattresses combine springs with other materials such as memory foam, gel and latex. These suited all sleepers, especially back, stomach and combi sleepers. Memory foam tends to be the cheapest option, with latex at the priciest end.

Every manufacturer claims to make the best beds, but from our experience, a few brands stand apart from the rest.
