Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals: Helix, Saatva (2026)
Memorial Day brings discounts on the mattress models we test all year round and sales are going well. As a seasoned deal hunter, I know mattresses go on sale quite often, but whenever someone asks me the best time to buy, I tell them to wait until Memorial Day or Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you’re in the market for a new mattress, now is the time to act, especially since most of these deals will eventually expire.
The WIRED Reviews team thoroughly tests the best long-term mattresses. We don’t conduct “nap tests” or base our recommendations on first impressions. Our top picks are proven and on sale now. Prices shown are for queen sizes.
Be sure to check out our many other sleep recommendations, including the best pillows for neck pain, the best body pillows, and the best sunrise alarm faucets. You may also want to read our guide on how to choose a mattress. And finally, we have other Memorial Day deals that might interest you.
Updated May 25: We’ve checked prices, removed expired deals, added 5 new discounts, and ensured they’re accurate.
WIRED Featured Offers:
Helix Sleep Midnight Luxe Hybrid for $1,824 ($675 off) — Use code WIRED27
Use our exclusive promo code WIRED27 to get 27% off most people’s favorite mattress. We’ve seen it sell for about $100 less before, and they’ve offered more freebies, but it’s still a good deal. Just be aware that the price might drop a little later in the month. Either way, the Midnight Luxe Hybrid is springy and medium-firm and should work well for any sleep style. Individually wrapped springs are zoned so you have more support where you need it to prevent back pain. It also doesn’t get too hot, although it’s thick enough that you need deep-pocketed sheets. It has been our favorite mattress for over eight years.
