Best alternative: DreamCloud Hybrid ($419 at DreamCloud)

Quick verdict: The Saatva Classic is the best mattress we've tested and our top recommendation for all sleepers in 2024. You can buy it in three firmness levels from soft to firm, and in two heights (11.5" and 14.5"). Our Saatva Classic mattress review testers scored it highly for lumbar support and pressure relief, noting it has great edge support too. The only downside is slight motion transfer from one side to the other, plus a $99 returns fee. This year's $400 Labor day sale discount matches the best pricing from Black Friday and Memorial Day and we don't expect it to get any cheaper, so now is the best time to buy the Saatva Classic mattress. A queen size is discounted to $1,695 (was $2,095), which is great value for a handcrafted luxury mattress that comes with a lifetime warranty.

Best for: Back and stomach sleepers seeking luxurious support

Best alternative: Cloverlane Hybrid ($599 at Cloverlane)

Quick verdict: The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress impressed our testers for our DreamCloud Mattress review with its affordable luxury. It offers great support for back and stomach sleepers thanks to its firm feel. It's also suitable for other sleep styles, but side sleepers should be aware that it does take a few days to get used to the firmness. The mattress also sleepers cool, and its great value for money means this luxe bed takes the No 1 spot in this year's best hybrid mattress guide. With an amazing price (a queen is down to $664) for a luxe hybrid, the DreamCloud's value is further boosted by its generous benefits: free shipping and returns, a one-year sleep trial, and a lifetime warranty.

3. The Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress: Save up to $700 at Nectar

Sale prices:

Benefits: 365-night trial | Lifetime warranty | Free shipping and returns

Best for: Side sleepers looking for a good balance of softness, support, and cooling

Best alternative: Zinus Original Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress ($249 at Zinus)

Quick Verdict: Testers for our Nectar mattress review loved how cool Nectar's signature all-foam bed slept for a memory foam mattress, and we gave it the top spot on this year's best memory foam mattress guide. We also found it to be one of the best mattresses for side sleepers thanks to its body-hugging comfort and pressure relief. However, its cushioning comfort and great value for money will suit most sleepers, but front sleepers will probably need something firmer. Thanks to an evergreen 40% off sale, a queen is now $649. Extras include a year-long sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and a lifetime warranty. 

4. Zinus Original Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: Save up to $200 at Zinus

Best alternative: Lucid Memory Foam Mattress (from $219.99 at Lucid) 

Quick verdict: The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress is a great choice if you're looking for a bed on a budget. Testers for our Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress review rank this as one of the year's best cheap mattresses, thanks to its great pressure relief for side sleepers and excellent motion isolation. Thanks to a 33% discount, a queen is now just $399. Extras include a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping, and a 10-year warranty. 

Saatva Classic mattress: was from $1,395 $995 at Saatva
The Saatva Classic is the best hybrid mattress of 2024 and my top choice at any time of the year. As we explain in our Saatva Classic mattress review it eases lower back pain, reduces pressure points during sleep, and doesn't cling onto excess body heat. You can buy it in three firmness levels and two heights, and get a year's trial, lifetime warranty and free mattress installation. Last year a queen Saatva Classic dropped to $1,595, but the MSRP has since increased by $100. This year's Labor Day sale price is $1,695, which matches the best Black Friday and Memorial Day discounts. You'd pay more for a luxury handcrafted mattress of this quality in store, so $1,695 for a queen is great value.

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: was from $699 now $499 at Nectar
If you're shopping the Labor Day sales for a good memory foam mattress that suits a variety of sleeping positions, the Nectar Memory Foam is my recommendation. Especially considering it's on sale for up to 40% off right now. I've seen this Nectar Mattress sale every month since late last year, but it's still great value for money and worth considering if you want an affordable all-foam bed but don't want to pay the earth. A queen Nectar Memory Foam Mattress is on sale for $649 (was $1,099), which is cheap considering how well it performed in our Nectar Mattress review. You get a year's trial, forever warranty and free shipping too.

Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress: was from $1,373.75 now $1,030 at Helix Sleep
The Helix Midnight Luxe is my top choice this Labor Day, thanks to its outstanding pressure relief for side sleepers like me. As the lead tester during our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review, I was impressed with its motion isolation, enhanced lumbar support and temperature regulation. Right now there’s 25% off the Luxe, which brings queen down to $1,780.35 (was $2,373.80). However, based on other major sales this year, I predict there'll be a 30% price drop this Labor Day. The Helix Midnight Luxe comes with a 15 year warranty, 100-night sleep trial, and two free pillows.

Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress: was from $1,295 now $895 at Saatva
The mattress on my wishlist for this year's Labor Day sales is the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress. The mattress offers both soothing pressure relief and firm support for all sleep styles, making it the dream bed for combination sleepers like me who lie on both their side and back. Plus, our testers for our Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid mattress review slept cool thanks to its gel-infused foam and breathable hybrid design.This mattress does sit in the premium price bracket, so it’s not a great option if you want a budget bed. That said, a queen is now $1,445 (was $1,845), saving you $400 in the Labor Day sales. You also get free white glove delivery, a year's trial and a lifetime warranty.

Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress: was from $619 now $399 at Sealy
Recent heat waves have me dreaming of cooler sleep, which is why the Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress is at the top of my Labor Day wish list. Offering effective high-tech cooling via Phase Change material, our Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress review found the bed hugely supportive for those who, like me, prefer to sleep on their stomach. A queen is reduced to $699 (was $1,079) in the evergreen sale, which is an excellent price for one of the best cooling mattresses. This deal is evergreen, and you get a 100-night trial, 10-year warranty, and free bedding bundle. I don’t expect to see anything better for Labor Day, so buy now and beat the late summer heat.

Saatva RX mattress: was from $1,995 now $1,695 at Saatva
As a sleep writer with lower back pain, the Saatva RX is top of my wish list in the Labor Day sales. In our Saatva RX mattress review, our tester rated this the best mattress for back pain, with the RX providing plenty of deep pressure relief and pain-reducing comfort. It’s not cheap, but I think it’s worth the investment if you’re constantly waking up with back pain. A queen mattress is already on sale for $2,995, taking $300 off the MSRP of $3,295. It’s not the biggest discount I’ve seen, with Saatva sometimes taking $350 or $400 off, but it’s still a big saving on a luxury mattress. And, as you might expect from a premium brand, you’ll also get a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty and free white glove delivery and removal of your old mattress and foundation.

DreamCloud Hybrid mattress: was from $1,013 now $419 at DreamCloud Sleep
The DreamCloud Hybrid is for anyone like me who’s looking for a luxury hybrid without breaking the bank. This bed is perfect for side and combination sleepers thanks to its contouring comfort and exceptional support. It’s also a good choice for hot sleepers, thanks to the cooling gel-infused memory foam and breathable coil system. An evergreen 50% off sale brings the price of a queen down to $665 (was $1,483), plus you get a 365-night sleep trial, forever warranty and free shipping and returns. This is a great price that I don't expect to be beaten come Labor Day.

1. Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper: Save up to $46 at Puffy

Deal Quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
Twin: $202 (was $238)
Queen: $245 (was $288)
King: $262 (was $308)
All sizes: See prices
Lowest price this year (queen): $195

Mattress topper type: Memory foam
Firmness: Soft, Firm
Benefits: 101-night trial | Lifetime warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Side, back or restless sleepers seeking a memory foam topper with different firmness options

Best alternative: Casper Comfy Topper ($159 at Casper)

Quick verdict: The Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper earned a spot in our best mattress toppers guide for being one of the best memory foam toppers we’ve tested. It comes in two firmness levels (Soft or Firm) so you can either add firmer support or more plushness to your mattress. When testing this 2.5” foam topper for our Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper review, our testers were impressed with the body-cradling feel for side sleepers and shift-resistant design for restless sleepers. They also liked the generous trial and warranty and the removable, washable cover for an easy clean. You can save 15% on every size at Puffy ahead of this year's Labor Day sales, with a queen priced $245. While the discount has remained the same for a while, Puffy recently raised their MSRPs, so the prices are now higher. However, we predict the full retail prices will return to normal closer to Labor Day, leading to the same sale but better prices

Best for: Side sleepers who want to add cloud-like comfort to a hard mattress

Best alternative: Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper ($202 at Puffy)

Quick verdict: If you’re a side sleepers who needs to add a soft, cushioning topper to a firm bed, the Casper Comfy Topper is a great choice. Our testers for the Casper Comfy Mattress Topper review were surprised at how cool it slept for a memory foam topper. Its impressive temperature regulation is down to the airflow-boosting AirScape perforated foam and a breathable soft-knit cover, which kept our lead tester sleeping cool and comfortable throughout the review process. Usually, the mattress topper is 10% off (if it’s on sale at all), so the new 20% off deal has come as a surprise. This deal knocks a queen down to $239.20, saving you $58.80, and you’ll also get a 5-year warranty and 30-night sleep trial. We can’t predict when this deal will end or if it will be around for Labor Day (for its Memorial Day and Presidents’ Day sale, Casper stuck to the standard 10% discount), so we suggest snapping up this deal when you can.

There’s currently a 25% off sale on all Viscosoft Toppers, knocking a 3” queen from $184.95 to $139.95.
