If you are looking for a mattress this winter, Black Friday mattress sales are one of the best times of the year to save. This year’s deals will likely be at their height on Friday, November 24th, but will be happening on and around that date.

During the holidays, retailers clear out inventory to make way for next year’s stock and compete for end-of-year business, which means good deals for shoppers. In fact, prices this good likely won’t appear again until next summer! If you’re going to need a new bed any time in the next six months, now is probably the best time to buy.

Nearly every mattress store big and small will have Black Friday sales, and we looked over previews and previous year’s deals to bring you a peek at trends. We will also be curating and comparing mattresses on sale to make shopping a little easier. As these sales come in we’ll be adding them to this review.

2017 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Mattress Sale Trends

Black Friday is a major retail holiday in the U.S., always falling on the day after Thanksgiving. These events are a big draw for holiday gift shopping, and big-ticket items like beds and electronics also see major discounts. Department stores, showrooms, discount stores, and online retailers all participate.

This year, Black Friday takes place on November 24th, with sales extending both the week before and after. Pre Black Friday sales are often seen all through November, while Cyber Monday sales last into the following week online.

When it comes to Black Friday mattress sales, you can expect to see a few consistent trends every year.

Some brands will offer percent or dollar discounts off regular prices. Others that don’t want to discount prices directly offer rebates or free-with-purchase offers, such as free boxsprings or pillows.

Gift cards have been popular in recent years, with several brands offering store or credit gift cards with purchases. Promotional doorbuster mattresses are also common, which are usually mid to low-quality beds offered in limited quantities at low prices. These items are discounted hugely in an attempt to get customers to “bust the door down” in order to get the sale. A retailer may make very little on these items in hopes the customer will purchase something else at the store while they are there.

In 2017, expect to see a large variety of sales, with a focus on the growing specialty hybrid and foam mattress categories. Online Black Friday deals are also increasing with major brands and department stores – meaning you may not even have to get out of your pajamas to save on better sleep!

Black Friday Bed Deals: Memory Foam Mattresses

Here’s a closer look at a few of the top memory foam deals this Black Friday:

Best Memory Foam Mattress Deal

BEST DEAL!

$200 Off Amerisleep AS2

The Amerisleep AS2 is possibly the most advanced mattress for helping people sleep better, thanks to all of the innovative materials used in the design.

Starting at the top, the Amerisleep AS2 uses a fabric called Celliant® in the cover. The FDA has determined Celliant promotes more restful sleep, and clinical studies have shown people sleep on average 15 minutes more per night. That’s nearly two extra hours of sleep per week.

Another clinically tested material that Amerisleep uses in the AS2 is their Affinity transition layer with SMT (Surface Modification Technology). Studies show it reduces pressure points by up to 49%.

SMT uses hundreds of six-sided foam supports, grouped into five comfort zones, to provide targeted relief for specific parts of the body, like the shoulders and lower back. This is critical because research says 81% of consumers shopping for a new mattress want targeted lower-back support.

Amerisleep’s mattresses also contain their proprietary BioPur memory foam. It’s five times more breathable than traditional memory foam, so you stay cool and comfortable all night long. BioPur is also ten times more responsive, so you won’t feel “stuck” no matter how much you move around at night.

An added benefit of BioPur foam is that it’s also eco-friendly. Amerisleep uses a patented process called Variable Pressure Foaming (VPF) to make BioPur, which produces virtually zero emissions — and no memory foam smell!

With such an amazing product, it’s no wonder customers love it. After more than 2,000 verified reviews, 99% of Amerisleep AS2 customers rate it three or more stars!

Amerisleep’s outstanding, friendly customer support is one reason the AS2 gets such great reviews.

They offer a risk-free, 100-night sleep trial on all of their mattresses. That means you can try your new Amerisleep mattress in your home for more than three months before deciding if you want to keep it. If you’re one of the few people not satisfied with your bed, they will give you a full refund and even arrange to donate or recycle the mattress for you.

Between the Amerisleep AS2’s the innovative design and huge $200 discount, it became our clear pick for the best Black Friday mattress sale.

And if the medium-firm feel of the Amerisleep AS2 isn’t for you, then you can save $200 any of Amerisleep’s five mattress models, which range from firm to soft. Studies show that, in order to sleep your best, the firmness of your mattress needs to match your sleep style and body type.

Here is a breakdown of all the deals we looked at before picking the Amerisleep AS2 as the best option:

Black Friday Bed Deals: Innerspring Mattresses

Here’s a closer look at a few of the top innerspring values this year :

$1099 – Serta iComfort Hybrid Island Retreat II Firm Tight Top Queen Set at Macy’s

Innerspring mattresses are the most popular, but ratings can be quite variable compared to memory foam. There is a wide range of spring mattresses to choose from during Black Friday sales, spanning from cheap to luxury.

With spring beds, the key points of comparison include the type of coils, number of coils and gauge, and the quality of padding layers.

Bonnell, offset, continuous and pocketed coils all have different pros and cons. Bonnell and continuous coil beds tend to have lower prices, pocket and continuous coils excel at durability, while offset and pocket coils excel at support and motion isolation. Coil count is not everything, but very low coil counts can mean limited support and contouring. Gauge refers the thickness of springs, with lower gauges being stiffer but more durable. Quality of padding materials and foams will also play a role in the durability of the mattress.

Here is an overview of this year’s innerspring deals:

• Costco: No offers listed.
• Macy’s: Doorbusters include a promotional Sealy bed, an entry-level Sealy Posturepedic bed, an entry-level Serta Perfect Sleeper bed and a higher end Beautyrest Pillowtop set. Online specials include discounts on iComfort Hybrid sets, Stearns and Foster Estate mattress sets, Aireloom Vitagenic sets, and others, with a focus on luxury and innerspring collections.
• Mattress Firm: Advertising four sales on store-brand Hampton and Rhodes beds ($99-$399), doorbusters on two entry-level Beautyrest beds, discounts on the high-end Dream Bed Lux line, and 10% off all mattress sets over $799. Sales are mostly focused on lower-end beds with line-wide promos on big name brands and gifts with purchase.
• Sears: Offering four doorbuster deals between $139-$449 and three under sales under $999 on Sealy Response, Beautyrest Silver and Serta Perfect Sleeper sets. Other specials include $100-$200 store gift cards with select Stearns & Foster, Sealy, and Beautyrest Black sets, $300 gift card on Tempurpedic sets, as well as free boxspring with iComfort Hybrid sets.
• Serta: Offering free boxsprings with iComfort Hybrid collection.
• US Mattress: Gifts with purchase on Stearns & Foster, iComfort, and Sealy Hybrid lines.

Black Friday Bed Deals: Adjustable Bases

Here are the top deals on adjustable beds for this Black Friday:

Previous holiday sales in 2017 have seen offers on adjustable beds, which are becoming increasingly popular. These electric bases take the place of foundations and allow users to adjust the angle of the bed’s head and foot. Some also include luxury features like massage or other technologies. They are no longer just for the elderly or infirm!

When buying an adjustable bed, main points to compare include types of motors, range of motion, hand controls and functions, and added comfort/convenience features.

Motors can be AC or DC. AC is generally more powerful, while DC may be quieter. Be sure to pay attention to the base’s weight capacity, which is the maximum weight combined of the mattress and sleepers. Bases will also differ in the range of motion they offer, with those capable of a greater range offering more potential positions.

Controls can be hardwired to the bed or wireless, using radio frequency or WiFi. A few higher-end models also may have mobile apps for controls. Wall-Hugger means a base stays close to the nightstand when adjusted, while leg heights can be important for use with furniture.

Convenience features can include different programs of massage, preset positions, memory buttons, safety features like battery backup, snore functions, alarm or speaker functions and more.

Not all mattresses are compatible with adjustable frames. If you are buying a mattress for your frame, make sure it will function properly on your particular base. Most retailers should be able to answer your questions in this regard.

Black Friday sales on adjustable beds this year include:

• Amerisleep: Package deal on their signature Amerisleep Adjustable Bed with dual-wave massage, eight USB charging ports, and convenient remote and mobile app operation. Pairs perfectly with the innovative design of their Amerisleep AS2 mattress, and deals start from $2538, with discounts of up to $900 depending on size/model.
• Mattress Firm: Free LP-50 adjustable bed with mattresses over $500 (very simple base with no leg adjustment, limited warranty info).
• Serta: Package deals on Motion Perfect III, with savings of up to $500 depending on size/model.
• Tempurpedic: Rebate offer of up to $300 off adjustable base and mattress sets depending on size and model.

The FDA has determined that Celliant® products are medical devices as defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and are general wellness products. Celliant® is determined by the FDA to temporarily promote increased local blood flow at the site of application in healthy individuals. Hologenix, LLC, the maker of Celliant®, states that Celliant® safely converts body heat to infrared energy. This energy penetrates into the muscle and tissue to promote a temporary increase in local blood flow and helps increase comfort and promotes restful sleep.
