To make your experience simpler, look at these factors when shopping for a mattress during Black Friday:What the Mattress Feels LikeTheres no sense in dropping hundreds or thousands on a mattress thats not comfortable to you. If you dont have time amid the holiday madness to visit a brick-and-mortar store, weve done the heavy lifting for you. We have tons of recommendations after trying 100+ mattresses, including our favorites ranging from bed-in-a-box options to luxury beds. You can also reference reviews from buyers on brand websites.Mattress FirmnessMattresses range from plush-soft and cloud-like to firm as a board and everywhere in between. You probably already have an idea about your preferred firmness level, but its also worth considering the best feel for your sleeping position. Side sleepers need pressure relief, which is usually found on soft-medium to medium-firm mattresses. Meanwhile, stomach sleepers need a firmer feel to support the lower back, and back sleepers get a mix of support and cushioning on a medium to firm mattress.CoolingIf you sleep hot, look for a mattress with features that help with airflow and temperature regulation. Hybrid and innerspring mattresses have coils that circulate warm air out of the mattress. Gel-infused foams and latex can also help dissipate body heat, and breathable covers can keep heat from pooling under you.Motion ControlIf you share your bed, look for a mattress that prevents movement on one side of the bed from disrupting the other side. Memory foam is known for dampening motion before it can spread, while innerspring coils tend to be bouncy and allow motion to transfer.Trial Period and WarrantyLook for mattress brands that offer an at-home trial period of at least 120 nights. You want a couple of months to let your body adjust to the new mattress before deciding to commit to it for the next 10 years. Also prioritize mattresses that have at least 10 years of warranty coverage. Most brands offer that warranty period or longer, with some beds being covered for up to 25 years or even your lifetime.Black Friday Mattress Sale FAQsWhat is the best month to buy a mattress?For the lowest prices on mattresses, buy during major sale holidays like Memorial Day (May), Labor Day (September), Black Friday (November), and Cyber Monday (November/December).Is Black Friday a good time to buy a mattress?Yes!
