Best Mattress Sales for National Sleep Awareness Week

Bear mattresses like the Elite Hybrid get high marks for owner satisfaction and comfort in our exclusive member survey. The Elite Hybrid also gets near-perfect scores across the board for petite, average, and large and tall folks of all sleep styles. This, along with the Star Hybrid and the Pro Hybrid, earns the CR Recommended badge.

Bear is running a sitewide 30 percent discount with the code WINTER30. It’s still 5 percent less than we tend to see during holiday weekends, but on Presidents Day, the original price was $2,427, putting the sale price just $20 below what you can get right now.

Brooklyn Bedding has mattresses, pillows, mattress toppers, sheets, and more. CR has tested a handful of the company’s products, including the Signature Hybrid mattress, which is 25 percent off as part of the retailer’s end of winter sale. This model is an exceptional choice for petite side sleepers; it got top marks in that category. And individuals with other body types and sleep styles may also be satisfied with it, as it scored above average in all our other tests. It was 30 percent off during the last big holiday, so if you can wait until Memorial Day, you may be able to save more.

Bear Mattress is offering 30 percent off sitewide right now with the code WINTER30. This is only $50 more than it was during Presidents Day. A mattress purchase will also get you two Cloud pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector at no extra cost. (The company typically includes only pillows outside of big sales like this.) The Bear Original foam mattress performs well in our tests, and it’s a good choice for back and side sleepers who are petite or of average height. (Tall folks may want to look elsewhere.) CR’s tests found that this mattress tends to retain heat, so it may be best for those who sleep cooler.

The Birch Natural mattress is 20 percent off as part of the brand’s Sleep Week Sale with the code MARCH25 (and it comes with two free pillows), which matches the discount we see during holiday sales. It does well in CR’s tests, and if you’re a petite side sleeper, it may be an exceptional choice. It gets top scores in our tests for that category. It scores above average for all other sleepers, except large and tall side sleepers, who may want to look at other models.

Finding the right mattress for your sleeping style can be tricky, but in our tests, the Midnight Luxe is a great choice for people of all sizes, whether they sleep on their back or side. It’s 25 percent off for Sleep Week, the usual holiday discount we see. One thing to note about this mattress is that it’s 14 inches high, so you’ll need deep-pocket sheets. If you’re a member, you can get an even bigger discount.

There are quite a few high-performing foam mattresses in our ratings that offer terrific side-sleeper support. This 10-inch-thick mattress-in-a-box is particularly appealing if you’re looking for the springy cushioning of latex but don’t want to spend more than $2,000 for it. (Many high scorers in our ratings cost much more than that, and this latex is GOLS-certified organic.) It earns a not-too-firm, not-too-soft score of 5 on our firmness scale. According to our tests, side sleepers—and those smaller-than-average in particular—receive terrific support. Back sleepers do just as well.

The Puffy Lux Hybrid innerspring/foam mattress-in-a-box is at a nice discount right now with the code MARCHSALE, the same offer we saw for Presidents Day. It comes through with above-average support for nearly every size and style of sleeper. The exception: large and tall back sleepers. The durability is impressive, but the stability is just average, which could leave sleepers feeling vibration from a partner’s movements. And this model doesn’t make shifting sleep positions easy. With a firmness rating of 1 out of 10, it’s quite soft.

Back sleepers of all sizes will appreciate that the Essentia Grateful Eight Organic mattress offers excellent support. Side sleepers will also find that it offers solid support. This newly released latex foam model from Essentia has excellent stability. But it weighs a hefty 111 pounds and has no grips, so you’ll need someone to help you move it. In our member surveys, Essentia’s foam models receive the highest possible rating for comfort and are just a tad shy of a top-tier mark for owner satisfaction. With a firmness level of 6 out of 10, the model is medium to medium-firm in feel. It’s among the eco-friendliest foam offerings in our ratings. The discount will apply automatically once you add it to your cart.

The Essentia Stratami is one of the top performers in CR’s tests, especially if you sleep on your back. Mattress shoppers who come to Essentia for organic materials won’t be disappointed in the performance of the company’s natural rubber latex-based foam. This mattress performed excellently for petite and average-sized back sleepers. Large/tall back sleepers and all side sleepers will find very good performance as well. The discount will apply automatically when you add the mattress to your cart.

The 8-inch-thick Essentia Classic REM5 Organic provides very good support for side sleepers of all sizes and most of their back-sleeping partners, although smaller back sleepers may want to consider an alternative mattress. While CR members find Essentia foam mattresses to be quite comfortable, for this model in particular, that comfort comes at a pretty steep cost. The REM5 is typically priced above $4,000, but it’s also made of organic latex foam, a material that tends to command a higher price due to its luxury status. Our tests show that this mattress doesn’t retain heat. With a firmness rating of 3 out of 10, the bed has a soft feel. You’ll get the discount once you add it to your cart.

This memory foam mattress from Sleepy’s is a CR Recommended model. This mattress gets high marks for average and petite back sleepers, and above-average scores for all other sleeping types and body sizes. So if you prefer all memory foam and need a new bed, this could be a good option. Just note that it gets middling scores for stabilization and owner satisfaction.
