Mattress deals FAQs

How do we select the best Black Friday 2021 mattress deals? 

This article outlines more about how we vet deals at Insider Reviews, but here’s the gist:

1. We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage from brands we’ve tested and trust.
2. We compare the prices against other retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart and only include the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
3. We research price history thoroughly to ensure that every deal we list is actually worth your time.

Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a new mattress?

While holiday weekends such as Memorial or Labor Day are traditionally the most popular times to buy mattresses, you are likely to find just as good deals around Black Friday. Last year we saw Black Friday mattress savings as high as 33% off.

This is a huge saving compared to the 10% or lower retailers offer year-round. It would be worth it to wait until Black Friday and Cyber Monday for extra savings now that the long weekend holidays have passed. 

When does Black Friday start?

Every year it seems like retailers are offering sales sooner and sooner. Technically, Black Friday sales should start at midnight on November 26, but many brands are already releasing early Black Friday mattress deals.

We recommend checking two weeks before November 26 when most early Black Friday mattress deals should be underway.
