Most mattresses are advertised as “on sale” all year long, which means their prices don’t tend to go much higher. It’s often better to wait for a bigger sale, such as a long holiday weekend. And you’re in luck because Martin Luther King Jr. weekend is next week, so most brands have already launched their better-than-normal sales (and many are still parading around as New Year’s sales too).
Those holiday weekend sales tend to offer discounts of 5 to 10 percent higher than their everyday prices. Plus, CR Digital and All-Access members can take advantage of some exclusive offers on top brands during Consumer Reports’ Sleep Week now through Jan. 19. You’ll need to be logged in to see the details and access the savings for these deals.
Below you’ll see prices for queen mattresses, but all sizes are on sale.

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 35 percent discount with the code YEAREND, and members can save more.
Members interested in buying a Bear mattress can save 40 percent sitewide with the code 81Z00JZMN0SM now through Jan. 19. This discount is 5 percent better than the current sale being offered to the general public.
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 30 percent off—and members can save a little extra. 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.
Now through Jan. 19, CR members can save 32 percent sitewide at Brooklyn Bedding using the code S1KH0T27NPGM. This is 2 percentage points better than the 30 percent discount currently publicly available.
Bear Mattress is offering 35 percent off sitewide right now with the code YEAREND, and CR members can save even more. 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.
Members interested in buying a Bear mattress can save 40 percent sitewide with the code 81Z00JZMN0SM now through Jan. 19. This discount is 5 percent better than the current sale being offered to the general public.
The Birch Natural mattress is 25 percent off as part of the brand’s extended New Year Sale with the code NYS25 (and it comes with two free pillows). If you’re a CR member, you can take advantage of the exclusive offer below to save even more. 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.
CR’s members can save 27 percent sitewide at Birch through Jan. 19 with the code M9200Q6Y2P1V. This is just 2 percentage points better than the public sale, but when you’re looking to save, every dollar makes a difference.
If you’re looking for a soft mattress, the Casper Dream is a solid pick, providing pressure relief and comfort to those who need it. CR members can save even more than the public offer. In our lab evaluation, we found the model—a newbie to CR’s ratings—to be a standout for petite back sleepers, and it serves all other sizes and positions very well. The Dream scores well for durability, too, so you can expect to get sound sleep on it for eight to 10 years. If you sleep with a partner, you should feel very little vibration from their movement. CR members give Casper mattresses high marks for comfort and owner satisfaction.
CR has landed an exclusive offer for 30 percent off all Casper Hybrid and Max mattresses, better than anything available to the public. All you need is the code CR2026 to get the discount. Just note that the public offer of a free adjustable base with the Max models cannot be combined with this offer.
The Casper Snow is one of the least heat-retaining mattresses we’ve tested, making it great for those who sleep hot. Combining pocketed coils with layers of foam, this hybrid mattress is particularly supportive of back sleepers of all sizes and is also well-suited for petite to large side sleepers. With a firmness rating of 4 out of 10, the Casper Snow is on the softer side. Its excellent stability rating (an improvement from its previous iteration) means you should not feel vibrations from your partner’s movements.

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. 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.
Helix is offering CR members 27 percent off sitewide—this is 2 percent better than the public sale, which can seem small but still makes a difference. All you need is the code 83DJ8QAEQGB5.
The Leesa Legend Hybrid is almost always “on sale,” but it tends to dip down a bit more around bigger holiday sales like this. You’ll need the code NEWYEAR25 to access this discount, and members can save even more. It combines innersprings and foam, and is a winning combination for back sleepers, who can expect very good support. For all but petite side sleepers, though, support is merely midrange. The durability is first-rate, with little sagging, softening, or other damage in eight years of simulated use, and this model is highly stable. The Leesa brand earns high marks in CR’s owner surveys for comfort and satisfaction.
CR members can take an additional $100 off the sale price of all mattresses (excluding the Studio and HD models) through Jan. 19. Click the shop button below to head to Leesa’s site. Any mattress you add to your cart will automatically get the discount.
Leesa’s Sapira mattress garners the same score as the Legend Hybrid, and it’s on sale as well, with an extra discount for CR members. It, too, combines memory foam and innerspring, and it offers very good support for sleepers of all types. The durability of this mattress is top-notch as well.
CR members can take an additional $100 off the sale price of all mattresses (excluding the Studio and kids’ models) through Jan. 19 with the code 4EHVTHA9HAH4. Click the Shop button below to head to Leesa’s site. Any mattress you add to your cart will automatically get the discount.
Two of the three Lull mattresses we tested earn CR’s recommendation, thanks to above-average test scores. The Luxe Hybrid, for instance, got a 4 out of 5 in every test we put it through, except durability, where it received perfect marks. So no matter your size or sleeping habits, this mattress will support you well. The standard Lull mattress got more varied results, being best for petite and average back sleepers.
Lull is currently running a sale on its mattresses and bed frames for 60 percent off. CR members can take an additional $50 off the total with the code SW50 now through Jan. 26.
If you’re looking for a softer mattress that offers support, the Nolah Natural may be right for you, especially if you’re a CR member and can access the extra savings. It gets above-average ratings for people of all sleep styles and sizes, and it shines when it comes to durability. The only place it falls short is in stabilization (a measure of how much vibration is transmitted across the mattress), where it gets middling scores in CR’s tests.
Nolah’s sitewide sale offers 35 percent off mattresses. With the code DA46R23D9XFR, CR members can take an additional $100 off mattress purchases from now through Jan. 19.
The Solaire mattress by Saatva is made with certified organic materials and is an all-around crowd-pleaser, with above-average results in just about every area, including nice support for all sleep positions and sizes, as well as good stabilization. It also excels when it comes to durability. As a brand, Saatva keeps its users quite content in terms of both comfort and owner satisfaction.
CR members can save $425 on purchases over $1,000 that include a mattress at Saatva now through Jan. 19. Just click the Shop button below, then select Get Offer and navigate over to Saatva’s site, where the discount will automatically apply to your cart.
The Avocado Green delivers excellent durability and firm, balanced support, earning top marks for back sleepers and solid comfort scores overall. Its natural latex design minimizes motion transfer and feels cool and stable. It’s a durable, eco-friendly pick that outperforms pricier rivals. CR members can take advantage of a special offer to save even more—keep reading for details. The 10 percent discount is pretty standard, so you may want to watch for a better deal closer to the holiday weekend.
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 NEWYEAR. 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 25 percent 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.
The Layla Essential foam mattress, which is 9 inches thick, is a great lower-cost option if you’re in the market for a firm mattress. It earns CR’s top ratings for petite and average back sleepers and near-perfect scores for large back sleepers and petite side sleepers. Average and large side sleepers would find better support elsewhere, though. The mattress receives a firmness rating of 7 out of 10 in our tests. You may feel some vibrations from a fellow sleeper’s shifts; the model earns only a middling stability score. It also doesn’t retain heat. In our member surveys, Layla mattresses earn solid scores for comfort and owner satisfaction.
