If your 2026 goal is doing something about your night sweats or your achey back, the best Presidents’ Day mattress sales are worth the time it takes to parse through all the fine print. Historically, the February holiday is known for being an auspicious time to buy a new bed, with some of the discounts on mattresses even rivaling Cyber Monday deals. And though the holiday isn’t here quite yet, many of our favorite bed-in-a-box retailers are letting you in on the action early, including trusted brands like Saatva, Casper, and Helix—which our editors and contributors can vouch for in the quality department. Read on for the mattresses that have our full vote of confidence, especially at a discount.
Saatva
Saatva is known for luxury mattresses—that’s why we don’t take the up-to-$625-off in savings for granted. Amy Astley, global editorial director and US editor in chief, calls the Saatva Latex hybrid “mattress gold,” as the design banished her lower back pain. This bed is also well-suited for any couple with different sleeping styles. Astley notes that she is a side sleeper, while her husband is a back sleeper, and they both found the bed comfortable. “We both sleep warm and appreciate the vented airflow channels, which allow for circulation and breathability,” she explains in her best review.
DreamCloud
DreamCloud is hosting one of the best Presidents Day mattress sales of them all. Not only do the beds start at $299, but some of their most popular models are up to 60% off. Each of them come with a 365-night trial period—meaning you can invest in one without losing any sleep. Global visuals director Michael Shome tested their Premier hybrid mattress—our number one mattress-in-a-box pick—and says the model is a winner for its six high-end layers of supportive coils, plush memory foam, and cooling materials as well as its patented CloudQuilt cover that adds an extra layer of comfort and airiness.
Sleep Number
Sleepnumber is offering up to 50% off their cushy beds, meaning you can save more than $2,000 on the sleep surface of your dreams. We recommend the pressure-relieving Innovation series, which our senior vice president of commerce, Lisa Aiken, tested. “I appreciate being able to change the firmness of the mattress to suit my requirements via the Sleep Number app, [which] also automatically adjusts to match your sleep movements and lets you track your quality of sleep,” she says in her review.
Avocado
Avocado is also entering the fray with a 20% off discount sale on their eco-friendly mattresses that are GOLS- and GOTS-certified. Contributor Katy Olson reports that the Green mattress is “firm, but not overly firm.” Still, if you prefer a softer snooze, you can upgrade to a plush pillowtop layer.
Nectar
Not one, but two AD staffers—contributors Katie Henwood and Nick Mafi—have sung the praises of their Nectar beds. This original is an oldie but a goodie—it’s temperature regulated, boasts contouring pressure relief, and a responsive support layer to promote proper spinal alignment. Henwood calls this mattress “a dream come true for all kinds of sleepers,” which offers extra support without sacrificing comfort and feels “like falling into a cloud” every night. It was this kind of feedback that led us to name this memory foam mattress the best mattress-in-a-box during our first-ever Sleep Awards in 2022. Right now, the brand is offering over 50% off—in other words, you won’t want to hit snooze on this mattress deal.
Helix
AD contributor Gabriela Ulloa called the Helix Midnight Luxe “the cradled hug we’ve all been craving” in her review, and right now you can find it for 25% off—along with everything else on the Helix site. The brand is also discounting the Essentials bedding bundle by 40%, which includes a cooling memory foam pillow and a waterproof mattress protector.
Casper
Casper is a stalwart among our staffers’ favorite mattress brands. We’ve tested five of their beds so far, and were thrilled to see some of our favorites included Presidents’ Day sale, which includes discounts up to 35% off bundles. Two standout hybrid mattress picks are marked down by 30%: the cooling Snow Max and the Dream Max, both of which we found to be suitable for sleepers who like a middle ground between plush and firm. For a budget-friendly pick you won’t lose sleep over, we also recommend The One, Casper’s entry-level foam mattress, now on sale for $800.
Serta
Serta is offering up to $900 off its wares for Presidents Day, including a deal on this iComfort memory foam mattress. Its firm-leaning makeup offers a first-of-its-kind five-zone response design for optimal spine alignment and all-night comfort, plus includes an inch of graphite-infused memory foam up top for cooling pressure relief. This mattress is also compatible with an adjustable-base frame, making it especially suitable for senior sleepers.
Purple
Sleeping on one of Purple’s proprietary polymer latex mattresses might change the way you think about beds entirely, according to our global content strategy and operations director Diane Dragan. “Even though I thought I was Team Firm Mattress for life, Purple may be my new fave, with its body adjustability combined with springs underneath,” Dragan says. Right now, you can head to the retailer to snag up to $500 off select Purple mattresses and bed frame base sets purchases during their Presidents Day deals bonanza. You’ll also find a few discounts on pillows, sheet sets, and more sleep essentials across the site.
BeautyRest
BeautyRest is offering up to $1,000 off their best mattresses for their Presidents Day sale, including their best-selling BeautyRest Black. This mattress pulls out all the stops, including individualized support and motion isolation, all-night heat transfer, and contouring foams for uninterrupted sleep. The BeautyRest also comes with 10 customizable options, offering everything from extra-firm to plush summit pillow top mattresses.
Sealy
Sealy is offering up to $200 on select mattresses, including their new launch: the Cocoon Chill. It comes in memory foam and hybrid construction models. The 10-inch design is contouring in a way that supports your posture but won’t feel as if you’ve sunk into quicksand. It doesn’t hurt that it comes with a complimentary bedding bundle that includes two pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector.
