Sales calendar
Every year
First two weeks of January
Recovery brands lean into resolutions: bundles, free accessories and financing promos more often than deep price cuts.
The week leading up to the third Monday of February
The first big mattress weekend of the year. Expect holiday pricing or free add-ons like pillows and bases.
The ten days before the last Monday of May
One of the biggest sale periods for mattresses and furniture. Outdoor saunas and plunges get pushed ahead of summer.
Late June through the first week of July
A smaller mattress and furniture weekend. Good if you missed Memorial Day and can't wait for Labor Day.
Usually mid-July; Amazon announces dates a few weeks ahead
Only matters for products sold on Amazon. Many premium brands sell direct and sit it out, so check before you wait for it.
The ten days before the first Monday of September
The last big mattress and furniture weekend before the holidays, plus end-of-season deals on outdoor gear.
Usually early to mid-October; dates announced in advance
An early preview of holiday pricing on Amazon-sold recovery gear.
The week of Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday
Usually the deepest discounts of the year across almost every category we cover. Many brands start early, so watch the week before.
December 26–31
Retailers clear outgoing models and floor samples. Selection is thinner, but the prices can be the best of the year.
By category
Mattress brands run promotions almost constantly, so the 'sale' price is often the everyday price. Holiday weekends tend to add a little more: a deeper discount or free pillows and bases. If your current bed is failing, a few percent isn't worth months of bad sleep.
