Memorial Day brings discounts on mattress models we test throughout the year, and sales just keep getting better. As a seasoned bargain hunter, I know that mattresses go on sale often, but whenever someone asks me when is the best time to buy, I tell them to wait until Memorial Day or Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you’ve been in the market for a new mattress, now is the time to act.

WIRED Featured Deals:
Helix Sleep Midnight Luxe Hybrid for $1,824 ($675 off)—Use Code WIRED27
Use our exclusive coupon code WIRED27 to get 27 percent off our favorite mattress for many people. We’ve seen it on sale for about $100 less before, and they’ve given us more freebies, but this is still a great deal. Just be aware that the price may drop a little later in the month. In any case, the Midnight Luxe Combination is modern and medium and should be suitable for any sleeping style. Individually sealed springs are arranged so you have more support when you need it to prevent back pain. It also doesn’t get too hot, although it’s thick enough that you’ll want pocket-sized sheets. It has been our favorite mattress for over eight years.
