Amerisleep mattress sale

Save up to $450 on any Amerisleep mattress

While we haven’t tested everything Amerisleep has to offer, we think the sales are still pretty sweet. Right now, you can use coupon code AS450 to save $450 on any of the company’s mattresses, including the Amerisleep AS3, which we loved for its firm and supportive surface. The mattress is available as a hybrid or solid foam, so you can opt for whichever sensation and structure you prefer. Typically listed for $1,749, you can get a queen-size AS3 Hybrid for $1,299 during the sale.

Avocado Organic mattress sale

Get 10% off a Reviewed-approved Avocado mattress

If you're hunting for a mattress that is both comfortable and environmentally friendly, Avocado is the place to shop. The online brand is currently hosting its Biggest Sale Ever event with 10% off everything on its website and an extra 10% off select items through Monday, December 19. We've tested the Avocado Green mattress and found it to be a worthwhile sleeper—we loved that the springy mattress didn't retain too much body heat. Our tester found it to be "super bouncy," which gave the mattress a nice balance of comfort and coziness. The queen size of the Avocado Green is typically listed for $1,999, but using the code SAVE10 at checkout brings that price down to just $1,710.

Awara mattress sale

Save $300 on any mattress and get up to $499 worth of accessories for free

We love that Awara mattresses are built like traditional sleepers—made of cotton, latex foam, coils and wool—and, right now, as part of the brand's current sale, you can save $300 on any mattress, get up to $499 worth of free accessories and take advantage of a free 365-night trial period so you can truly decide whether or not an Awara sleeper is right for you. The Awara Natural hybrid mattress we tested is down from $1,399 in the queen size to $1,099, saving you $300. Plus, you'll receive $499 worth of free accessories for free including a sheet set, mattress protector and cooling pillow. With good overall support, especially for side and back sleeping, the coils add bounce and it absorbs body motion nicely. While it is heavy (at about 129 pounds for the queen size), this mattress didn't have the unpleasant off-gassing odor you can sometimes get when unboxing a new mattress. Pair your new sleeper with the Awara adjustable bed frame that's down from $999 in the queen size to $699—a whopping $300 markdown.  

Birch Living mattress sale

Get $400 off mattresses and two free Eco-Rest pillows

If you're looking for better sleep and want to help save the planet, Birch Living can meet you in the middle. The brand's current sale offers $400 off mattresses and two free Eco-Rest pillows while supplies last. A queen size standard Birch Living Natural mattress is typically listed for $1,849, but the sale brings that price down to $1,449. Though we haven't tested the brand's mattresses, Birch Living says they feature an organic cotton cover as its top layer, hygroscopic organic wool and breathable natural Talalay latex for better airflow and a cooler sleep at night.

Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale

Save 20% on mattresses

Brooklyn Bedding's Gift of Sleep sale is currently offering shoppers 20% off its line of mattresses with coupon code GIFT20. Named one of our favorite mattresses-in-a-box, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature hybrid mattress is on sale starting at just $559.20. The queen size of this mattress is usually $1,332 but during the current sale, you can snag it for just $1,065.60 using the promo code GIFT20. Brooklyn Bedding also has unconventional mattress sizes, including short and RV bed mattresses. Our reviewer, who tested the medium-firm type and found the surface too forgiving when sleeping on her stomach, recommended opting for the firm option if you sleep mostly on your stomach or back. Note that it runs warmer than other sleepers but, if you prefer softer and squishier, it's a good option.

Casper mattress sale

Get up to $800 off mattresses at Casper during this holiday sale

Shop the Casper mattress sale through Sunday, December 18 to save up to $800 on Casper mattresses, up to 25% on sheets and up to 30% on sleep bundles. The Casper Original mattress, typically listed for $1,295 in its queen size is currently available for $1,165 during the sale. We tested Casper's flagship mattress and found it to do a solid job of giving an undisturbed sleep. Our testers also noted how it cushioned their landing when they flopped down on the bed (as we all do at the end of the day). Even Reviewed's editor-in-chief, Dave Kender, tried the Casper Original and called it "just the right mattress for me—and very likely, for you as well."

Cocoon by Sealy mattress sale

Save 35% on the Cocoon by Sealy Chill memory foam mattress with bedding

During the limited-time sale you scoop the mattress for 35% off and get free pillows and sheets, too. This brings the price of the queen size down from $1,239 to $799, saving you $440. Add the free pair of pillows and sheets and it is indeed a dreamy bundle of savings. We love the medium-firm feel with a bit of bounce and the effective cooling layer that is well-suited for many types of sleepers but is "perfect for back sleepers," according to our tester. 

DreamCloud mattress sale

25% off sitewide plus $599 in accessories

DreamCloud makes a comfortable and fairly affordable hybrid that our tester called a great choice for those who sleep hot and like a supportive sleep surface. It took a bit longer than most mattresses to off-gas and fully form, but once our tester got beyond the growing pain stage, she loved the bed. The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid mattress usually retails for $1,199 in the queen size, but can be yours for just $899—a $300 savings. We found the mattress to be firm, supportive and comfortable to sleep on in different positions. An especially great pick for stomach and back sleepers, our tester noted that the mattress stayed “remarkably cool overnight.” Plus, DreamCloud will throw in a bundle of free accessories valued at $599, including a mattress protector, sheet set and cooling pillow (one if you purchase a twin or twin XL, and two if you opt for a full size or larger).

Helix is offering $150 off the mattress in its queen size, bringing its list price of $1,249 down to $1,099 with the code CYBERSAVE150.

Save 33% off sitewide

If you're a side sleeper in need of something that truly cradles you at night, Nectar is the place to shop. The brand's holiday sale is currently offering 33% off its entire collection of mattresses and sleep essentials through the end of the day today. A queen size Nectar memory foam mattress with accessories normally runs you $1,498, but the sale lets you get the sleeper, two cooling pillows, a sheet set and mattress protector all for $669. We tested a Nectar mattress to see if it lives up to the hype and found that it stays cool and cradles the body nicely, especially for side sleepers. While a Nectar was once deemed our top pick mattress, after testing many more, we noticed that it is softer than others, making it a great pick if a super soft mattress is your specific preference.

Nolah mattress sale

Save up to $700 on all mattresses and get two pillows for free

The Nolah Evolution hybrid mattress in queen size is usually listed at $2,299 but right now, you can get it for $700 off at $1,599 with two free pillows valued at $178 included. Our tester found that this sleeper isolated motion well, relieved the pressure and expanded to full capacity almost immediately after unboxing. The only downside was that our tester felt it had poor edge support and was too soft for her liking.

Right now at Puffy, you can score $750 off any mattress and $600 worth of accessories for free with purchases made with the code SAVE1350. As part of the brand's current sale, you can also score $600 worth of free accessories, including pillows, a mattress protector and a sheet set.

The mattress brand is offering $300 off any mattress when you use the promo code VAYA300 through Sunday, December 18.

Our testers said the sleeper diffused heat across its surface over time at an impressive rate, while its soft foam material on the surface cushioned any pressure.

While we haven't tested a Zoma sleeper before, the brand says the standard mattress features durable support in its base layer along with responsive relief and cooling comfort.

How long does a mattress last?

Mattress expiration dates fall somewhere between eight and 12 years, with many brands suggesting that a decade-old mattress is one that's ready to be replaced. Along with the expiration date, there are other signs like tossing and turning or sniffling and sneezing that could mean you're due for a new mattress.

Are there free mattress trials?

Nearly every mattress brand we’ve tested offers a trial period during which you can test out the mattress for a specified period of time, because there’s nothing like actually sleeping on it. For instance, you can try an Awara mattress for 365 nights.
