2017 Memorial Day Mattress Sales Comparisons

Sales are great, but don’t be fooled by a low price. There are many factors to consider when trying to navigate mattress sales. Retailers will sometimes inflate the original price so they can discount it later, making it appear as a nice price reduction.

Sometimes there is some fine print attached to a lower price, too, such as little to no warranty, limited quantities, or questionable quality, making it important to research and thoroughly compare. Also, be mindful of warranties and return policies when discount shopping. You should be able to try the bed for at least 30 days before deciding whether or not you want to return it, even during a sale.

In order to cut out some consumer confusion, we’ve researched some of the more popular offers and better values from the well-known brands above. We’ve listed their specifications where available to help demonstrate what the retailer is actually offering and to make comparing easier. They are separated into three separate price ranges. See how your favorites stack up and see what beds best match your needs and budget.

Buying Guide: Tips on Comparing Deals and Shopping to Win

It isn’t easy comparing all the numbers and features available, but it is necessary to make sure you end up with a good mattress at a decent price. Innerspring, memory foam and latex have so many different aspects, it can feel like comparing apples and oranges.

The main objective when buying a mattress is getting quality sleep. In the end, that is all that matters. To get the best mattress you can this weekend, just keep these things in mind:

Start shopping early.

Feeling pressured to make a decision is never fun, so avoid catching buyer’s remorse by getting a handle on the market early. You can shop online and stores now to get an idea of what you like and what “normal” prices are, to determine where to get the best deal on a bed you actually want come the holiday weekend.

Keep your preferences, needs and budget in mind.

Don’t let a big markdown blind you. When it comes to mattress sales this holiday is definitely a good time to save. Ultimately though, the most important thing a year or 10 from now will be how comfortable you are on the bed and how well it allows you to sleep, not the markdown you received. Don’t blow your budget, but don’t compromise on the firmness or comfort you prefer just to save either.

Know the differences between types.

Depending on what type of mattress you’re buying, you’ll need to compare different things to determine quality and value.

• Memory Foam: Density of all layers, type of memory foam, composition and height of each layer, cover material, overall bed height. (Learn more about memory foam beds here.)
• Innersprings: Coil type, count and gauge, composition of all layers, density of foams, fiber type, cover material, overall height. (Learn more about innerspring beds here.)
• Latex: Composition of latex (blend, synthetic, natural), composition of any other materials used within, amount of latex, ILD of the foam, cover material, proof of organic certifications.  (Learn more about latex beds here.)

Read reviews and compare several retailers.

One of the biggest ways the bed world has changed in the past 10 years is the advent of online shopping and research. You have dozens of stores and hundreds of pages of reviews at your fingertips. No longer must you rely on a salesperson’s word, however trustworthy they may be.

Check different sources for reviews on beds you’re interested to say what people say about things like durability, expectations, service and other factors. Comfort can be subjective, so the most important thing to glean from consumer reviews and ratings are overall trends.

Also, do yourself a favor and look at different stores and online brands. You don’t have to be limited to your local shop, and going online might in fact yield further savings and a wider range of beds that might be a better fit for your specific needs. Plus, browsing online eliminates the need to spend your time in showrooms.

Check the fine print.

As with any big purchase, know what you’re getting into. Warranties should offer a good level of full replacement coverage (10 years is standard for most mid-level and higher mattresses). It should also consider impressions of 1 inch or more defects as deeper than this can lead to pain and support issues.

Return policies also prove important, as a new bed takes time to get used to, especially if you’re going with a new type of material. Make sure you have a month or longer, and that you know all fees and procedures associated with a return or exchange.

If you play your cards right, you could end up with an incredible deal on a new bed. Good sleep is its own reward, but to get one at a great price is even better– and Memorial Day mattress sales are the best time to do it this summer.
