Clever contributor Gabriela Ulloa called the queen-size Helix Midnight Luxe “the cradled hug we’ve all been craving” in her mattress review. And really, can you put a price tag on that? The answer is yes—and happily that price tag is currently discounted by 27% for AD readers with the code AD27. You’ll also receive two free pillows with your purchase.
We’re sure the cushioning support built into DreamCloud’s mattresses will bring you lots of rest this fall. For the holiday weekend, the brand is offering up to 50% off all mattresses (and they’ve got options for everyone, from stomach sleepers to side snoozers). The brand offers a 365-night trial, just in case you don’t find the right fit off the bat. It gets better: Buying a mattress unlocks another deal. Snatch up a DreamCloud bedding bundle (cooling pillow, sheet set, and mattress protector) for $149.
Not one but two AD staffers—senior SEO manager Katie Henwood and digital features editor Nick Mafi—have slept soundly on their Nectar mattresses. According to Katie, “This mattress is a dream come true for all kinds of sleepers. It offers extra support without sacrificing comfort, and getting into bed each night is like falling into a cloud.” And right now you can enjoy 40% off all Nectar’s best-selling mattresses.
Here’s another great deal for the firm-mattress lovers out there: Saatva is slashing up to $600 off mattress purchases. Our public relations director Erin Kaplan slept on Saatva’s “very firm” classic mattress, saying that “the mattress feels soft and ‘gives’ at pressure points (e.g. at your shoulders and upper arms when you’re sleeping on your side), but without any noticeable impact or movement elsewhere.”
WinkBed’s namesake original mattress is consistently ranked one of the best in the online shopping space. It pairs a plush, handmade pillow top with supportive coils, giving it a balanced feel that works for a wide range of sleepers. Senior Testing Manager Lauren Hapgood has had The WinkBed for two years, and still loves it. “I know others are committed to a single sleeping position, but I’m a combination sleeper, and this bed actually works well in all sleeping positions for me,” she says. This Labor Day, WinkBeds is offering $300 off all mattresses, including its namesake The WinkBed.
Nolah prides itself on being one of the best mattresses for side sleepers thanks to its proprietary cooling AirFoam, which “provides superior pressure relief, keeps you cool, and contours perfectly to your body.” Care to test out their claim? Get up to 35% off all mattresses for the Labor Day sale—plus two free Nolah squishy pillows. We especially love the Nolah Evolution, which has seven layers, including a plush pillow top.
Bear has been in the mattress business for 25 years—meaning they know what they’re doing. Not only are their nontoxic, certified clean mattresses made in the US, but their beds are also designed with different levels of firmness and a unique combination of high-quality foams and coils to help your body restore while you sleep. Sound good? What’s better is the brand is taking 35% off all its mattresses during its Labor Day sale, while also giving those smart deal hunters $400 of sleep accessories for free. Here’s what’s included in that bundle: pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector.
Love a quilted pillow top, but looking for ample support? Try the Signature Hybrid from Brooklyn Bedding that blends the best of both worlds. Whether you’re looking for soft, medium firm, or ultra firm, the brand has three comfort levels to choose from—all at 25% off. If you’re looking for luxury and cooling, we’re also big fans of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling mattress.
Emma is known for its incredibly comfortable beds and value prices. For Labor Day, they are taking deals to another level, giving shoppers 50% off all mattresses. The Emma Hybrid Comfort is our favorite mattress model. Its medium-firmness and springy coil base make it a shoe-in choice for couples who need bounce and a “just right” firmness level. Plus, Emma mattresses come with a 365-night trial period, which lets you test out the feel of the bed until—that’s right—next Labor Day.
A big name in the organic mattress game is Birch, which is offering 25% off site-wide with code LDW25 and throwing in two free pillows with each mattress purchase. Even better: free shipping. Made with organic cotton, organic wool, natural latex, and coils, the Birch Natural Mattress is meant to be “highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.”
No matter your preferred sleeping position, a Tempur-Pedic mattress is always a good option. And for Labor Day, shoppers can get 30% off the Tempur-Cloud mattress, and save up to $700 on select adjustable mattress sets, plus $300 in free accessories. We’d opt for the medium hybrid Tempur-LuxeAdapt mattress, which features superior pressure relief and cooling.
