Best Black Friday Mattress Sales

Amerisleep

If you are looking for a Black Friday deal on a truly innovative mattress, we recommend shopping with Amerisleep. They offer a lineup of 8 mattresses—5 memory foam mattresses and 3 hybrid models. Each bed is designed with a specific sleep position and body type in mind, so everyone can find deeper, more restorative sleep and wake with fewer aches and pains.

Amerisleep’s mattresses are already available at an affordable price. However, this Black Friday, they are offering a $300 discount on all of their mattresses and free pillows with every mattress purchase. This includes their generous 20-year warranty and a 100-night risk-free sleep trial.

Plus, when purchasing one of Amerisleep’s supportive mattresses with their Adjustable Bed+, you can save up to $1699. This adjustable bed helps you find a truly weightless sleep position that can relieve symptoms associated with sleep apnea, snoring, and lower back pain.

Below, we outline our two favorite Amerisleep models and explain what sleep positions they work best for.

If you’re looking for a mattress with a universal comfort level, we recommend the Amerisleep AS3. This mattress provides a balance between firm and plush, which makes it a versatile option for most sleep styles, including side sleepers and combination sleepers. The materials in the Amerisleep AS3 are designed to provide deeper comfort and better sleep from the cover to the core.

Beneath a soft, breathable cover, you will find Amerisleep’s Bio-Pur®. This breathable material will keep you cool throughout the night. It is also more responsive than traditional memory foam, meaning it bounces back to its normal shape in just a few seconds, so you won’t feel “stuck” if you change positions throughout the night.

The AS3 also has a transition layer with Amerisleep’s HIVE® technology. HIVE® uses hundreds of six-sided foam supports to create five comfort zones targeted at different areas of the body.

Where you need more support, like your head and lower back, the foam hexagons are closer together. This prevents them from expanding too much and provides a firmer feel. Where you need more cushion, like your shoulders, the foam hexagons are farther apart. This lets them compress and expand more, providing additional cushion.

The additional space between the foam hexagons also allows more hot air to escape from the mattress, helping to keep you even cooler and more comfortable all night long.

All of the layers in the Amerisleep AS3 are supported by Amerisleep’s durable Bio-Core® foam. It’s stable, supportive, and built to last for decades, which is why Amerisleep offers a warranty that spans 20 years with the most customer-friendly terms. While some brands won’t cover their beds until they sag well over an inch, Amerisleep covers you if their mattresses sag by even three-quarters of an inch.

The AS5 also comes in a hybrid model. The AS5 Hybrid mattress has the same soft Bio-Pur® comfort layer that hugs the body and provides no pressure support. However, the base of this hybrid is made of pocketed spring coils that help guard against excessive sinking. This combination is perfect for heavier individuals who want the pressure relief of foam, without the feeling of being “stuck” in the mattress.

The base of the AS5 Hybrid features pocketed spring coils that are designed to support each area of the body with the perfect amount of pressure. Along the neck and back, the coils are thicker and provide more support. Near sensitive joints like the hips and shoulders, coils are thinner and compress more easily to prevent pressure points.

The AS5 Hybrid is perfect for those looking for a soft mattress that won’t cause uncomfortable sinking. This bed provides the maximum amount of cushioning and protection to the joints, while also keeping the body lifted to prevent spinal misalignment.

Additional Black Friday Deals

Amerisleep is our top recommended mattress brand this Black Friday sheerly because of the scope of comfort their mattresses offer, from soft to medium to firm. However, we also suggest shoppers take a look at Zoma and Vaya’s mattresses this Black Friday.

Another mattress worth considering this Black Friday is the Zoma Mattress. If you’re looking for a memory foam mattress for less than $1000, look no further than Zoma. The Zoma Mattress is a memory foam mattress marketed towards athletes because it’s designed to help you sleep deeper and recover faster.

The Zoma Mattress has a medium feel and contains three layers: 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam, 2 inches of Reactiv™, and 7 inches of Support+. While the Zoma is comfortable for side and back sleepers, it’s likely too soft for stomach sleepers.

The first layer of this mattress is 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam to offer cushioning comfort and prevent night sweats. Within this layer, Zoma includes Triangulex™, a zoned support technology to promote better spinal alignment. Triangulex™ is firmer under your torso and softer under your shoulders and hips to facilitate healthy sleeping positions and prevent pain. If you’re a side sleeper or you have back pain, this technology can help you get a more comfortable night’s rest.

Next is 2 inches of Reactiv™, a latex-like poly-foam, to give the bed a bit of bounce. Because Reactiv™ is designed to be more responsive than traditional memory foam, it keeps you lifted on the mattress and prevents you from feeling “stuck” in the foam layers.

The final layer of Zoma is 7 inches of Support+ foam to reinforce the layers above and give the bed shape.

Zoma is an online-only mattress brand offering a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty with every mattress. This Black Friday, Zoma is offering a $150 discount on each mattress. Plus, they offer free shipping and free returns.

The Zoma Hybrid is a rare quality hybrid mattress that costs $1000. It has the same recovery foams as the classic Zoma Mattress, but with a bouncy twist. The bed’s pocketed coil support core also leaves more room for air circulation, promoting a more breathable mattress.

A Zoma Hybrid has 2 inches of gel memory foam in its top layer. The top layer also contains foam cutouts that divide the mattress into three support zones. These cutouts under your head, shoulders, and legs soften the mattress for more pressure relief, while the area under your back is cutout-free for more support.

The next layer is 2 inches of Reactiv™ foam, a responsive material that keeps you lifted when you move, minimizing the odds of ever feeling trapped in bed. The support core is 7 inches of pocketed coils on a foam base. The pocketed coils are called such because they’re surrounded by fabric encasements that prevent motion transfer.

All Zoma Hybrids include a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty. Their hybrid mattress is also included in their $150 off Black Friday sale.

One of our favorite budget-friendly choices is the Vaya Mattress. Vaya understands that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort and support because you live on a restricted budget. Its simple two-layer design provides quality pressure relief, bounce, and motion isolation.

The mattress’s top layer of Vaya Comfort Foam is lighter than traditional memory foam, so it keeps cool even as it contours for pressure relief. Vaya Comfort Foam is also a springy material, limiting motion transfer and sinkage.

At the bottom is Vaya Base Foam, a durable material that can support all sleeping positions. Vaya Base Foam is why the manufacturers are confident enough to offer a 10-year warranty with sagging coverage for any indent that exceeds 0.75 inches—better than the “1 inch or more” warranties many mattress companies offer.

Vaya’s Black Friday deals include $300 off each mattress. With this discount, you can get a queen size Vaya Mattress for just $599.

The Vaya Hybrid Mattress is similar to their original model. It has a highly responsive comfort layer to keep the hips and shoulders lifted and aligned. This soft, breathable material cushions the joints and ensures the spine is resting in a safe neutral position.

Instead of a supportive foam base, the Vaya Hybrid has a base of pocketed spring coils. Each coil is triple wrapped in a lightweight material for maximum comfort. Since each coil moves independently of one another, they respond to pressure more accurately.

This feature keeps the entire body supported without the risk of developing pressure points. The coils around the perimeter of the mattress are thicker and more supportive, making it easier to get in and out of bed.

Like their foam mattress, the Vaya Hybrid is available for $300 off this Black Friday. This includes their 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty.

Chronic pain sufferers, look no further than the Purple Hybrid Premier 3 this Black Friday. This highly advanced bed features materials developed by rocket scientists for optimal support, cushioning, and breathability. With its thick comfort layer, the Purple Hybrid Premier 3 is soft to the touch and exceptional for side or back sleeping.

Under the Hybrid Premier 3’s StretchMax cover is 3 inches of Purple GelFlex Grid. Made from Hyper-Elastic Polymer™, this grid-like material adapts under your body to relieve pressure points while supporting other parts of your body. If you prefer an even softer bed, Purple offers the Purple Hybrid Premier 4, which features a 4-inch GelFlex Grid layer.

Purple pairs the GelFlex Grid with individually pocketed coils for dynamic support and pressure relief. Protecting either side of the coil layer is thin transition foam that absorbs shock.

This Black Friday, you can score up to $600 off of the Purple Hybrid Premier 3. Bundle your bed with Purple’s foundation, Ascent Adjustable Base, or Premium Sleep Bundle for further savings!

How to Find Black Friday Mattress Deals

While Black Friday is often considered one of the best times to buy a mattress, not all Black Friday deals are going to be winners for you. There is a lot to choose from, so it is important to take your time and pay attention to the features that matter most to you.

Retailers often use a number of techniques to get your business, but don’t fall for the marketing hype. Saving money is important, but you also don’t want to purchase a low-quality mattress that you will have to replace in a year or two.

Here are a few signs that you are looking at a good mattress deal:

Company Reputation

This is the age of the internet, use it! Most companies allow customers to review their products on their websites, though some may be more honest about it than others.

Look for reviews verified by third parties. These are services that verify whether the reviewer actually purchased the product they are writing about.

Consult mattress review sites. There are many websites devoted to helping customers through the tangled mess of retail speak. See what the reviewers have to say about the mattresses you’re considering. Keep in mind, however, some of these reviewers may receive incentives from the companies they review.

Know what to look for. Major review sites list average customer satisfaction rates as follows:

• 81% for memory foam mattresses
• 80% for latex mattresses
• 63% for innerspring mattresses

Be Skeptical of Retailers

Be sure you know the specifics of the deal. All sales should be clear and accessible. Make sure you read the fine print and aren’t being sold a faulty product. Some websites may have incorrect information, so clarify with retailers prior to committing.

Avoid deceptive sales tactics. Some retailers will create the illusion of a great discount by inflating the original price of the product. This is referred to as “price anchoring,” as the retailer is attempting to anchor the bogus original price in your head to make the value appear better. Try to think about the real value of the product and not the numbers retailers throw at you.

Check Warranties and Return Policies

If a mattress is worth the money you are paying for it, the warranty and return policy for your mattress should reflect that.

Mattress warranties should be at least seven years. The average mattress lasts about seven years and the warranty should cover it for just as long or more. A short warranty period could indicate a poorly constructed mattress.

Be mindful of warranty types. Mattress warranties are usually divided into two varieties. The “full coverage” or “full replacement” period of the warranty is the period of time that the manufacturer will pay for repairs or replacements in full. They may restrict what is covered, require a specific depth of sagging or have other terms. The prorated period covers a percentage of replacement costs, declining with mattress age.

Don’t settle for less than a 30-day return policy. You’re making a big purchase and should have a bit of time to see if you like it. Many mattress retailers have trial periods that last for months. Check with your retailer to make sure you have a long enough return policy without a lot of strings attached.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a mattress?

While Black Friday is definitely a major sales day, it’s not necessarily the best time to buy a new bed. Mattress brands offer significant discounts throughout the year. Online mattress brands usually have recurring sales, and they price their mattresses more affordable, to begin with since they sell direct-to-consumer. Brick and mortar retailers often have the end of the summer or end of the season blowout sales when they get rid of old inventory and bring in new mattress models.

With all of this considered, you certainly don’t have to wait until Black Friday to get a good deal on a bed; but you can surely find great discounts during this major sales day.

Do mattress stores have Black Friday sales?

Yes! Most mattress retailers offer Black Friday discounts on their products. If you’ve had your eye on a new bed, this sales weekend is an ideal time to buy.

What month is the best to buy a mattress?

When shopping online, it’s hard to say since brands offer sales year-round. Online mattress brands don’t have a great end of the season sales like brick and mortar retailers do. If you’re shopping in-person, though, the best time to buy is in May. Most mattress stores clear out old inventory right before the summer to make room for the new year’s models.

Can you negotiate the price of a mattress?

This really depends on where you buy. You very rarely can negotiate with online retailers since they already offer the lowest prices on their products. When you shop in-person, however, there’s a chance you can negotiate the price down. Some people even say they’ve haggled the price down to less than 50 percent.

If you’re on the fence, browse reviews of the specific retailer to see if anybody had luck negotiating prices with them in the past.

What is a good price to pay for a mattress?

Generally, most people spend anywhere between $1000 to $2000 on a high-quality queen size mattress. During Black Friday, however, brands offer a couple of hundred dollars off their mattresses, so you can sometimes score top-rated mattresses for as low as $700. However, we advise against deals that seem too good to be true and promo beds.

Happy Shopping!

Not sure which mattress is right for you? Our recommendation this year is Amerisleep’s AS3, since they’re offering $300 off, and they use innovative materials to help you sleep better and wake up refreshed.
