Why Is Presidents' Day a Good Time to Buy a Mattress?

Presidents' Day is always a good time to buy a new mattress because you'll find impressive deals at all the top retailers. (No, really, it's not every day that Saatva blesses us with a $400 discount on orders of $1,000 or more.) Not to mention, Presidents' Day falls on the third Monday in February (Feb. 16 this year), so it's still early enough into 2026 to upgrade your sleep for the year ahead.

Best Mattress Deal Overall

Saatva

Saatva mattresses are praised for their luxe, layered designs, which provide the perfect balance of softness, firmness and cooling technology for a more comfortable sleep. One PureWow editor tested the brand's most popular model—the Classic bed—for a PureWow100 review and found that it helped her get to sleep faster and wake up *so* refreshed each day. Not to mention, the science behind this mattress is pretty mindblowing: It's designed with patented Lumbar Zone technology, which contours to your body while promoting healthy spine alignment, according to the brand. Plus, it's coated in a botanical, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold and bacterial growth (meaning you can plan on snoozing on it for a long time coming).

  • Sale Details: Take $400 off your order of $1,000 or more from Jan. 26 through Feb. 16.

Editors' Pick

2. Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress

Helix

This winner of a slew of sleep awards also has a thumbs-up from PureWow Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay, who swore by it through pregnancy and postpartum. "Though I’m convinced 'good pregnancy sleep' is an oxymoron, the Helix Midnight Luxe helped me get as close as possible to that elusive goal. With targeted memory foam, this mattress provided extra support across my shoulders and hips, relieving the pressure points that are often exacerbated by side sleeping—and even more so by pregnancy." In addition to the structured foam, this hybrid boasts individually wrapped coils and a plush pillow top (which you can upgrade to a GlacioTex cooling one if you tend to run hot in the night), all in all bringing the best of both worlds to your bedroom.

Best Organic Mattress

3. Avocado Green Mattress

Avocado

One former PureWow editor is a *huge* fan of this Avocado Green mattress, and it just so happens to be on sale for 15 percent off right now. So if you're interested in making the switch to a bed that's nontoxic and organic, now's your chance to rest easy. It's comprised of the brand's certified organic latex, certified organic wool and certified organic cotton, which together make it durable, cooling, hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking and healthier for both you and the environment. But as our tester pointed out in her PureWow100 review, the bed's pillow top makes it especially hip-saving for side-sleepers who experience added pressure on their joints.

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: Get up to 20 percent off mattresses, 10 percent off bedding, 10 percent off furniture and more for a limited time.

4. Puffy Lux Mattress

Puffy

Boasting more than 12,000 glowing reviews, this "lux" hybrid bed certainly lives up to its name. It features eight layers of premium memory foam, cooling gel-infused foam and contouring coils that should effortlessly adapt to your form. However, I'm most impressed with the fact that the brand is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). This means it has been reviewed by a board of doctors to ensure it's up to the highest standards in terms of support for your spine and back. And while that's one stamp of approval you can definitely trust, you can also take this reviewer's honest thoughts into account: "It is literally like sleeping on a cloud! It is by far the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on."

Best Mattress for Hot Sleepers

5. Cocoon by Sealy Chill Hybrid Mattress

Cocoon by Sealy

In case you don't already know, Sealy put cooling mattresses (which help regulate your temperature as you fall asleep) on the map. This Chill hybrid bed, which features increased airflow for ventilation, along with a cooling cover that's designed to absorb and dissipate heat, is a must for folks who experience hot flashes and night sweats. But that's not the only reason PureWow contributor Natalie LaBarbera fell in love with the mattress. "I can sleep on it through the night (and, OK, spend my first few hours of the day on it) without feeling like I'm sinking in. I've also noticed my lower back pain has definitely lessened since I made the switch, which honestly, makes it worth it entirely," she raved in her review. No surprise there—after all, the mattress combines Perfect Fit memory foam, firm coils and advanced edge support to carry you effortlessly into dreamland, hot sleeper or not.

Best Mattress Deal for Side Sleepers

6. Nolah Evolution Mattress

Nolah

Are you a side sleeper? If you answered yes, there's no need to look at any other beds on this list. For two years in a row, the Sleep Foundation named this hybrid the "Best Mattress for Side Sleepers" thanks to its mix of plush cushioning and responsive coils, which together offer targeted support and comfort where it counts. Its high-density foam layers are designed to dissipate heat and offer heightened pressure relief from head to toe, but especially at the shoulders and lumbar region. This pick also has convenient carrying handles *and* a non-skid backside, so it shouldn't slide every which way when you're changing the sheets (and in case it does, well, you've got the handles to put it back into place in a snap).

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: You can secure 35 percent off sitewide and get free in-home setup and removal.

Best Memory Foam Mattress

7. Nectar Memory Foam Mattress

Nectar

If there's anything I've learned about mattresses, it's that the more layers it has, the more comfortable it is (apparently, that story about the princess and the pea was on to something). So, what does sleeping on five foam layers feel like, you ask? Imagine “the ideal ratio of softness, firmness and support,” says Nectar of its 12-inch Classic bed. If you're a hot sleeper, you'll also be won over by this bed's "gel memory foam [that] ensures body heat gets distributed evenly throughout, which is a total game changer," one former PureWow editor shared in her review. This affordable masterpiece also touts minimal motion transfer (shout-out to that foam stability base!), so you won't wake up your partner if you get up in the middle of the night (and vice-versa).

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: Save up to 50 percent on mattresses and up to 66 percent on bundles.

Best Luxury Mattress

8. Stearns & Foster Estate Mattress

Stearns & Foster

Ordering a bed from Stearns & Foster is quite literally a 5-star experience—and not just because the brand makes mattresses for the Ritz-Carlton. This Estate Collection mattress is worth the splurge for its five high-end layers, including a quilted Tencel pillow top that is designed to wick away moisture and Tempur-Indulge memory foam, which is meant to offer "a perfect combination" of pressure relief, durability and weightlessness. Personally though, I think the mattress's biggest selling point is its ability to curve to your body, helping you to maintain good blood flow throughout the night (I speak from experience: no more numb limbs). Plus, I didn't have to lift a finger when it came time to delivery thanks to complimentary white glove setup. Trust me, it's a fancy find that's worth the investment—especially while it's up to $400 off.

  • Sale Details: Secure up to $400 off select mattresses and get a $300 Visa gift card with your purchase for a limited time.

Best Budget-Friendly Mattress

9. Wayfair Sleep Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress

Wayfair

Wayfair's Presidents' Day Sale started early, and you can bet there are hundreds of mattress of deals waiting for you there. Case in point: This 10-inch gel memory foam mattress currently on sale for as low as $183. Take a quick scroll through the 5-star reviews (of which there are over 18,000!), and you’ll soon understand why this inexpensive memory foam must-have seriously outperforms its low price tag. The consensus is that it's "exceptionally comfortable" thanks to its medium-firm, multilayered design. But that's not all. It also comes with a gel-infused top layer for a cool night's sleep, along with a ten-year warranty to cover your bases down the line.

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: Save up to 50 percent on a huge selection of beds and foundations from various mattress brands for a limited time.

Best Bed-in-a-Box Deal

10. Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid Mattress

Tuft & Needle

This Tuft & Needle hybrid bed turned former editor Dara Katz and her partner into bed-in-a-box believers, which is no small feat. And how did it do it? Feel free to read her full review that goes into how the bed is made with a combination of adaptive foam and high-quality pocketed springs, or just add it to your cart now since she says the support and pressure relief are reasons enough to buy it. Katz also says the motion control blew her away. "I move around A LOT in my sleep. Like...a LOT. And my husband said he doesn't feel me moving around at night anymore, and I definitely don't feel him. This is a HUGE perk," she explains. Sounds like a must for 20 percent off.

  • Sale Details: Get 20 percent off all Tuft & Needles mattresses and sleep accessories.

Best Mattress for Back Pain

11. Casper Dream Max Mattress

Casper

This is no ordinary bed-in-a-box. It's actually the upgraded version of the Casper Wave mattress that one former PureWow editor swore by for relieving her back pain. So while the Wave has been discontinued, you can bet this newest model takes the cake, especially since it features hybrid layers of foam and flex coils meant to reduce motion transfer and provide prime comfort for your hips, waist and, of course, lower back. But here's why one buyer is a fan: "I have been sleeping on the Dream Max for around a week and have not woken up once in the middle of the night to roll over. The mattress conforms to every curve of my body, making it incredibly comfortable. The firmness is perfect, too; it is not too firm but not soft. Unboxing it was relatively easy, and it inflated quickly." Bye-bye, achey mornings.

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: Save up to 35 percent off sitewide for a limited time.

Most Splurge-Worthy Mattress

12. Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Breeze ProBreeze Mattress

Tempur-Pedic

There's a reason why Tempur-Pedic mattresses are pricey. As Katz explains, "Mattresses are investment pieces, especially if you want them to last for years down the road." (For instance, this one comes with a ten-year warranty to cover certain damages.) In her PureWow100 review on this baby, Katz says, "Considering the technology used in the construction of [this] mattress for support and cooling, the [steep] price tag is justified, in my opinion." From keeping you cool (even in summer) to providing a comfy cocooning feeling, this bed truly does it all. Tempur-Pedic also offers personalized pressure relief with all its memory foam mattresses, meaning they'll conform to your curves for maximum comfort. And with an adjustable power base (sold separately), you can take it to the next level with tons of elevated head and foot positions. TL;DR? This bed is totally worth the splurge, although you can't put a price on a good night's sleep.

Fast Facts

  • Sale Details: Save up to $500 on select adjustable mattress sets and get free accessories (worth $300).

How to Find the Perfect Mattress

Our formula for finding the perfect mattress for every kind of sleeper is outlined in this story. But to put it in a nutshell, it really comes down to how you sleep (literally). For instance, if you're a side sleeper, you'll be happiest with a mattress that contours to the curves of your body while supporting your spine. Meanwhile, back sleepers will sleep the best on a medium-firm to firm mattress, so they don’t sink in too deeply. However, if you're a couple, a hybrid bed with minimal motion transfer is the way to go, since it'll cradle you both and keep you from feeling your partner's every toss and turn throughout the night. Happy snoozing!
