Avocado
Avocado makes our favorite organic mattress, and for Labor Day the company is running an up-to-20-percent-off sale. The mattress that we recommend is 15 percent off, but only $100 off the usual price, since we often see a 10 percent discount for Avocado. This is a little better than we usually find and the same price we’ve seen for other big-deal events like Memorial Day.
- Our favorite organic mattress: Avocado Organic Mattress for $1,699 ($300 Off)
Serta
Serta is an OG mattress brand—its sister brand invented the woven wire spring mattress, and a Serta doesn’t come in a box when it’s delivered to your door, unlike other newer mattresses. Its Perfect Sleeper mattress is our throwback fit, reminding us of the classic kind of mattress from years past, but with fully updated materials inside. Serta’s Labor Day sale has up to $200 off Perfect Sleeper Mattresses, plus more discounts for other mattresses and base sets.

Casper
Casper is pretty famous in the mattress-in-a-box world. The brand recently remade its entire mattress line, and Casper’s new base mattress, The One, is now our favorite all-foam mattress. It’s already a super affordable mattress, but it’s still on sale for Labor Day for a nice little discount. We usually see it for under $900, and now you can get it for $800.

Nectar
Nectar makes one of our favorite mattresses for relieving pressure-point pain at an affordable price. Even more affordable? The Labor Dale sale. Nectar is offering up to 40 percent off its mattresses, and our favored mattress is on sale. Make sure to go all the way to checkout to see the final discounted price, and the code nectar40 should be applied automatically.

Charles P. Rogers
Charles P. Rogers has been making mattresses for the better part of 200 years. It makes a handful of different mattresses, but we’re major fans of the brand’s newest model, the Tradition Mattress, especially if you have any kind of back pain. The inner layers are firm and supportive, but the soft pillowtop makes it plenty comfy for side sleepers. Charles P. Rogers is offering between 40 percent and 70 percent off mattresses and beds right now for Labor Day.

Other Labor Day Mattress Sales
These sales aren’t as great as the ones above, and are often sales you can find year-round. Still, it’s a fine price we’d usually recommend buying these mattresses for, even if it’s not the best discount in town. We’ll update this guide as we get closer to Labor Day with any changes.

Brooklyn Bedding
I’m a recent convert to plank-style mattresses after trying Brooklyn Bedding’s Plank Firm Natural mattress. But we like a few different firm mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding, all of which are on sale right now for 25 percent off with the code LABORDAY25. The code should be automatically applied when you add the mattress to your cart. But even with the sale, this is usually the price we see these mattresses listed for. Still, usually we recommend buying them at this price.
- Our favorite firm mattress: Plank Firm for $999
- A great firm mattress for side sleepers (and back pain!): Plank Firm Natural for $1,599
- Another great firm option: Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress for $1,699
Cloverlane
Cloverlane is the luxury label from Resident Home, which makes a few different mattresses we recommend. One of its models we like is the Cloverlane Hybrid Luxury Firm, which has a spongy feel to it and excellent motion isolation. Cloverlane’s mattresses recently increased in price, so it’s not as low as we used to see it. But you can get a better discount if you use the code WIRED250 for an extra $250 off.
- A classic mattress: Cloverlane Hybrid Luxury Firm for $1,749 (Use code WIRED250)
Bear
Bear makes our favorite side sleeper mattress, the Bear Elite. Bear is running an up to 35 percent off price right now, but the $1,499 price is one we usually see it available for, so it’s not a particularly exciting sale. Still, it’s the price we recommend scoring it for over the higher price tag it does go up to from time to time.
- Best for side sleepers: Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress for $1,499
Purple
If you’re a hot sleeper, start shopping: we think Purple makes the best cooling mattress. Purple’s site has up to $500 off the Restore line, but our recommended mattress is only $300 off—and we often see it for $300 off anyway. Still, it’s a great mattress if you want to sleep cooler at night.
