Whether you’re tired of sleeping on a creaky old bed or need to furnish an extra room, Labor Day mattress sales are the time to do it. Retailers, big and small, like to celebrate the day by dropping prices on products we’ve tested and recommend, so I’ve gathered some of the best deals below.
From luxury mattresses by Saatva to budget options from Nectar, you can save hundreds of dollars today. In terms of deal quality, Labor Day isn’t when you’ll find the lowest prices of the year, but the price cuts match lows we’ve seen during previous holidays. Especially when mattresses are almost always on sale, it’s for long weekends like this that our favorite brands drop a little bit more.
But as we know, quantity of sales doesn’t always equal quality, and we’re not here to keep you guessing. Ahead, browse the best Labor Day sales and deals on beds we can vouch for that are actually worth your time (and money). Some of these sales will be over before you know it, so don’t wait too long to shop. For savings on beauty, tech, home, and more, check out our full guide to the best Labor Day sales.
Note: The prices shown here are for queen mattresses. However, in most cases, the discount also applies to other sizes, often selectable on the same page.

Labor Day mattress sales: Frequently asked questions
When is Labor Day 2025?
Labor Day is always the first Monday of September, which this year falls on September 1. Most mattress retailers start their Labor Day sales in the weeks leading up to the holiday, and some will extend past the day itself. That said, we suggest placing your orders before Labor Day ends, unless there’s a different posted sale end date, to be safe.
Are Labor Day mattress sales worth it?
Yes, Labor Day is a great time to score a deal on a mattress, as most retailers boast significant markdowns in honor of the holiday. Labor Day mattress sales typically offer similar prices to what we see during other holidays like Presidents Day and Memorial Day, though not quite as good as what we’ll see during Black Friday in November. If you’re in no rush to get a new mattress, it never hurts to wait until then, but now will be the best time to shop for a while if you need a more immediate upgrade.
