When is the Best Time to Buy a Mattress

There are two ways to find mattress sales near you, first by considering seasonal deals and holiday discounts.

Seasonal Sales

New mattress models launch between March and April. That makes late winter an ideal time to shop for a new bed. As brands advertise new choices, stores reduce pricing on last year's options. So if you are looking for a great deal on a bestselling mattress, try to wait for Spring. Shoppers can expect to reap up to 50% savings on floor models or overstock inventory.

Holiday Discounts 

You can also expect savings from holiday discounts. Some common holidays where mattresses go on sale is President's Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, and Black Friday. Homeowners can expect to save 10-20% on top mattress brands during these holidays. Stores usually offer inventory-wide deals over the long holiday weekend, making it an ideal time to invest in a new bed.

How to Know It's Time to Buy a New Mattress

If you're experiencing any of these issues, it may be time to invest in a new mattress.

➤ Sagging: If your mattress is sagging, it doesn't support your spine. This can cause neck and back pain. Prolonged sleep on an unsupportive mattress can lead to chronic joint issues quickly resolved by investing in a new bed.
➤ Interrupted sleep: Do you wake frequently in the night for no reason? Your sleep may be disrupted because of discomfort. If your body feels the need to constantly shift while sleeping, that is a sign that you are sleeping on the wrong type of mattress.
➤ Pain or Aches: While a good bed can't solve all aches and pains, finding a supportive mattress that relieves pressure on joints is beneficial for people with chronic back, neck, hip, and shoulder pain.
➤ Squeaking: A squeaking mattress is more than just an annoyance. If your bed creaks every time you move, it is time for a new one. Squeaks can be a sign of bad coils and usually hint at hidden damage.
➤ Age of Mattress: Most mattresses are designed to last 8 to 10 years. So if you are experiencing sagging or squeaking and your bed is past its expiration date, it's time to shop for a newer model.
➤ Mobility: If you struggle to get in or out of bed, consider an alternative mattress type. For example, firmer beds that are higher off the ground can be better for individuals with mobility issues. In addition, consider checking for mattress options compatible with adjustable bases.

Mattress Firmness & Sleeping Positions

Your sleeping position can help determine which mattress is best for you, so let's walk through some of the most common sleep positions and their best mattress types.

Side Sleepers

Side sleepers prefer medium mattress that contour the body and relieve shoulder, hip, and joint pressure. As a result, the best choice for this sleep style is memory foam or hybrid mattresses. Finding a bed that offers premium body contouring without sagging is important.

Back Sleepers

If you are a back sleeper, spinal support is the most critical factor to consider when shopping for a new mattress. Your spine must remain aligned throughout the night. Most back sleepers prefer a medium to firm bed and benefit from dual support systems in hybrid mattresses. The plush top layer of a hybrid mattress is naturally comfortable, while the innerspring coils below offer premium spinal support that prevents sagging.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers benefit from a firmer bed surface. The stomach and chest sink into the mattress when sleeping in this position. Over time, this can cause neck, shoulder, and hip pain. However, a bed with a firm support system like an innerspring will keep the body supported and prevent aches stomach sleepers typically suffer from.

How to Pick the Best Mattress

Here are some of our expert tips to consider when choosing a new mattress:

  1. Size: Select a mattress size based on the size of your bed frame. Standard options include California king, king, queen, full, twin, and twin XL.
  2. Style: Various mattress styles are composed of different materials to offer specific benefits, including cooling, pressure relief, and spinal support. If you want your mattress to feel like a hug, choose one with gel and memory foam. Or, if you are looking for firm and consistent support, pick a firmer inner coil bed.
  3. Sleeping Preference: Which sleeping position is most comfortable for you? Different mattress styles work better for side, back, and stomach sleepers.
  4. Motion Transfer: If you share your bed, limiting motion transfer is a must! It's annoying enough to deal with your partner's snoring; you don't want to wake up every time they roll over.
