President's Day Mattress Deals 2018
Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.
If you’re shopping for a new bed this weekend, there are plenty of deals to be found both online and in store. We even found a few mattresses from CR’s ratings that you wouldn’t be disappointed with as your sleeping support.
“President’s Day has historically been a big sales day for mattresses,” says Claudette. “Mattress retailers and manufacturers know you’ll have some time to stop and shop.” Valentine’s Day may have also made you highly aware of needing to change your sleep situation.
Below we've rounded up the deals we found for this weekend and a few days after the holiday. Even if the particular mattress model you like isn’t on sale, there’s a chance for a decent discount across all models on a manufacturer's website.
President's Day Mattress Deals
Charles P Rogers
On the Charles P Rogers website, you’ll find all of the manufacturer’s mattresses marked down an 10-20 percent, including its Charles P. Rogers Powercore Estate 5000 mattress, which is one of our highly-rated innerspring mattresses. This mattress is great at conforming to the shape of a sleeper’s spine, and tested well across all body types.
JC Penny
JC Penny has a several deals on mattresses for President’s Day, though we can only definitively comment on the Serta iComfort Applause II. This hybrid innerspring regularly retails around $1,155, but at JC Penny you can get both the mattress and a box set on sale for $775. For side sleepers of all sizes, this mattress offers good support, but back sleepers of all sizes might want to pass on this model.
Lull
On Lull’s website, there’s a coupon for $50 off of a foam Lull mattress, though this is less impressive than some of the other deals we’ve seen. Overall, the Lull is a slightly firmer mattress that tests well among petite and average side and back sleepers and large and tall back sleepers, but not so much for large and tall side sleepers.
Mattress Firm
At Mattress Firm, you can get an innerspring Hampton and Rhodes HR420S 12.25" Plush Mattress for 20 percent off the retail price. This Hampton and Rhodes model is very soft and tested well for average and large and tall side sleepers. It’s not so great at stabilization, so if you share a bed with another person and/or a large dog, you might be bounced a lot in your sleep.
Sleep Number
If you’ve had your heart set on an adjustable air bed, the Sleep Number Queen c2 bed is $200 off its normal price of $900. This is an extremely firm mattress, though its air bladders allow you to control the firmness to some extent. It has a thinner top layer than Sleep Number’s i8 bed, but you’ll also be saving roughly $2,000 if you decide to go with the c2.
Tempur-Pedic
Have your heart set on a Tempur-Pedic mattress? The company has savings by model and size listed on its website. Our tested mattress, the innerspring Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Flex Supreme Breeze mattress, says it’s $300 off the listed price of $3,700, though more recent price checks on our website says it’s currently listed for sale around $3,500, so you might only be saving $100.
Casper
On Casper’s website, the manufacturer is offering $125 off of a purchase of $1,250 or more unless you spend more than $2,000, then it’s $200 off—either way, roughly a 10 percent discount. If you planned to go all-Casper with a Casper mattress, Casper sheets, and a bed frame, this could be an okay deal—and you don’t have to pay for shipping costs.
Leesa
Leesa's currently offering a $125 coupon toward its foam Leesa The Leesa mattress and its higher-end foam Sapira mattress. The Leesa mattress tests well for petite and average side sleepers and petite back sleepers, but large and tall side and back sleepers and average back sleepers will be more content with another mattress.
Purple
There aren’t any discounts on Purple’s The Purple mattress, but the company is offering a free pillow with a mattress purchase. This isn’t a great deal unless you really want a Purple and would be thrilled to have a Purple pillow as a perk.
