All of the Best Mattresses We’ve Tested Are on Sale for Labor Day (You Can Save Up to $1,000!)

Let’s start with our No. 1 mattress recommendation: The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is 25% off with code LABORDAY25. “As a side and occasionally stomach sleeper, I feel completely supported,” contributor Nicole Lund wrote in her review, adding that it’s “responsive and contouring, making me feel almost like I’m gently suspended instead of fully sinking into the bed.” And true to its name, the Aurora Luxe actually does help Nicole stay cool at night.

The SweetZZZ Honey Hybrid Mattress is $900 off for Labor Day, no code needed. The U.S.-made organic mattress, designed in collaboration with a team of chiropractors so that it would minimize back pain, eschews polyurethane foams and fiberglass in favor of cotton, wool, and natural latex that doesn’t trap heat. It’s available in four firmness levels to suit every kind of sleeping position, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

You can save up to $700 on a Sterns & Foster mattress, and nearly all mattress purchases come with a $300 Visa gift card, no code needed. Our executive home director switched to this classic spring mattress after realizing her memory foam bed caused her to overheat at night and wake up with back pain. “The encased inner and outer steel coil construction, which is at the base of this mattress, is said to adapt to your weight and shape better than other single coil systems,” she wrote. “I don’t know about all that, but I’ve been sleeping on it for about two months, and my back doesn’t hurt much in the mornings anymore.”

All Helix mattresses are on sale for Labor Day, and the Helix Midnight Elite bears the biggest discount: It’s 30% off with code ELITE30. The nine-layer mattress features individually wrapped coils near the base for hip and lower back support and additional microcoils in the middle (sandwiched between memory foam) that helps with motion isolation. According to our editors, it’s totally worth it to add on the plush and cooling GlacioTex cover.

Depending on which you go for, you can save up to $1,599 on a new Purple mattress, no code needed. The Original Purple Mattress, featuring the brand’s proprietary GelFlex Grid layer, is shopping writer Morgan Pryor’s top pick: “What’s impressed me the most is how much better my back has felt since I made the switch, she wrote in her review, adding, “My old mattress didn’t keep my body aligned in the way this one does. I haven’t found myself needing to stretch and crack my back nearly as much as I used to, which is a major win.”

The best mattress we tested for combination sleepers is the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud Mattress, and it’s 30% off for Labor Day, no code needed. Pro tip: Add on the Hybrid Technology to get a little more bounce and easier movement. ““This middle layer allows the mattress to stay delightfully firm underneath you and changes pressure points depending on your position,” wrote former senior shopping editor Britt Franklin. “My sleep went undisturbed because I wasn’t fighting to find the cozy spot on the bed — the cozy spot naturally found me!”

My mattress, the Saatva Classic Mattress, is up to $375 off depending on the size, height, and firmness that you choose. It has a pleasant bounce that belies how much support it offers, even when I’m on my side. Now that I’ve had it for a few months, my favorite thing about it is definitely the motion isolation — my partner’s side of the bed is against the wall, and I never notice when he’s crawling in or out.

Leesa’s Labor Day sale is offering mattresses for adults for 30% off and kids’ mattresses for 15% off. The Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress is our top pick for shoppers looking for a cooling mattress because its cooling cover really works — and you don’t have to add it on for a surcharge, unlike some other brands on this list. Additionally, its proprietary GreenFlex Foam promotes airflow rather than trapping heat, so it’s working with the cooling cover instead of against it.

Every Bear mattress is 35% off with code LABORDAY35, including its most popular model, the Bear Hybrid Elite Mattress. “This mattress is a great, safe choice for people who might not know what kind of sleeper they are,” style editor Emma Dangel wrote in her review. “While other publications have named this model ‘best for back pain’ or ‘best for side sleepers,’ as a certified back/stomach/side sleeper, I’m here to say it might just be best for everyone.”

Mattresses are up to 45% off for Labor Day at SweetNight, no code needed, which means the CoolNest Memory Foam Mattress starts at just $400 for a queen size. Despite its all-foam construction, senior lifestyle editor (and night sweats sufferer) Quinn Fish writes that it really is a cooling mattress: “I’ve been sleeping on this mattress for three months now, and I’ve had the driest sleep of my life on it, even through NYC’s brutal heat waves.”

Avocado’s signature mattress, the Luxury Organic Mattress, is 20% off at the brand’s Labor Day sale, no code needed. Avocado is a top name when it comes to eco-friendly mattresses, and it gets top marks for comfort too: “The first night seriously felt like slipping into a luxury boutique hotel bed — the kind where you immediately relax your shoulders and exhale without realizing you’ve been holding tension,” wrote editor-in-chief Charli Penn. It’s incredibly soft on top, but your body never sinks awkwardly or loses alignment.”
