There are many promotional periods throughout the year when you can save significantly on a mattress.

Some of the most popular mattress sales occur during Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Presidents’ Day.

But most companies now offer big savings for their Black Friday Mattress sale. In fact, Black Friday deals are some of the best deals of the year.

Mattress shopping used to not be as big of a deal during Black Friday (with most attention being given to electronics and appliances) but now, in part because of the bed in a box mattress model, you can save significantly on your next mattress purchase if you shop during Black Friday.

Black Friday is the Friday after immediately after Thanksgiving. In 2024, Black Friday is on November 29th.

Some retailers (online and brick-and-mortar) start offering their Black Friday mattress sale the weekend before Black Friday.

Generally, Black Friday mattress deals end on Black Friday at midnight (or when the store closes).

The length of the Black Friday Mattress sale depends on the company.

Black Friday sales used to only last for the day, and some retailers even did doorbusters, which were limited to specific hours in the day.

The price of a mattress depends on several factors, such as thickness, mattress type, the technology utilized, and the reputation of the company.

For example, a memory foam mattress with a 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty may cost more than a coil mattress with no return policy, and only a 5-year warranty.

When looking at the cost of the mattress, calculate the long-term value. How long will this mattress last? Do you also have to pay for shipping, or does your new mattress come with free delivery? If the mattress sags in three years, leading to back pain, leading to you having to buy a new mattress, then the long-term cost of the mattress is more than any initial savings.

Zoma worked hard to provide a comfortable and supportive mattress at an affordable price. With the current promotion, the Zoma mattress is just around $860 in a queen-size.

Sure, we are a little biased, but we like the Zoma as the best mattress of 2024. And we are backing up that claim with a risk-free, 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

The best mattress will provide you with optimal support, keeping your spine properly aligned. The best mattress will also provide you with cushion, so as not to aggravate your pressure points.

The Zoma mattress uses gel-infused memory foam to offer pressure-relief and reduce any chances of becoming a heat trap. Plus, Zoma’s memory foam layer features zoned support which helps cradle your pressure points and reduce tossing and turning.

But it’s important to consider mattress type. If you’re looking for the best innerspring mattress, then the best latex mattress may not work for you. To help, we are going to cover the major mattress types below.

First, there are memory foam mattresses. Memory foam mattresses are great for pressure relief, reducing tossing and turning, and limiting motion transfer. However, some potential concerns of memory foam include: sleeping hot (due to lack of airflow), toxicity (due to the petrochemicals used in the foam making process), and cost (memory foam mattresses tend to cost more than a traditional innerspring mattress).

So, if looking for a memory foam mattress, look for one with advanced open-cell technology and other cooling features, plus one that has Certi-Pur® US certified foam and is sold at an affordable price point.

Second, there are innerspring mattresses. Innerspring mattresses are the most common type of mattress. If you’ve ever stayed in a hotel, chances are you were sleeping on an innerspring mattress. Innerspring mattresses are known for their bounce and traditional feel. However, they aren’t especially known for reducing pressure points and also tend to promote motion transfer. This can make it difficult to get a good night’s rest if you’re sharing the mattress.

If you’re considering an innerspring mattress and you’re mainly a side sleeper, we recommend looking into a coil mattress with a pillow top. The pillow top provides extra cushion and helps take the pressure off your shoulders.

Third, there are latex mattresses. Latex is a highly-responsive and natural material. Imagine wearing a latex glove. Imagine pulling the glove all the way back and letting it go. What happens? The glove snaps back into its original form. This is what makes latex such an excellent option for a mattress. When you apply weight, the latex bends with you, but when you get out of the mattress, it immediately “bounces back.” However, latex mattresses are usually the most expensive type of mattress and companies can sell “synthetic” latex blends which are not true latex. When mattress shopping, we recommend taking the time to read the company’s website, history, and to inquire about specifics into the type of materials being used.

Finally, there are hybrid mattresses. A hybrid mattress is a mixture of innerspring and foam. You can have a latex hybrid or a memory foam hybrid. The idea behind a hybrid is the foam offers pressure relief and reduces motion transfer, while the coils offer bounce and reduce that “sinking in” feeling. When it comes to hybrid mattresses, you are trying to get the best of both worlds.

Memory foam is an ideal mattress technology because of memory foam absorbs pressure. For example, if you put your left hand on a block of memory foam and push down with your right hand, your left hand will not feel the pressure. If you did this on a table, your left hand would feel the pressure of the table pushing back.

Using memory foam in a mattress helps reduce pressure points and aches and pains. Memory foam is also ideal for absorbing motion, which limits motion transfer.

Perhaps you’ve had your mattress for a few years. Perhaps you can’t even remember when you bought your mattress. Was it a hand-me-down? Most people buy a new mattress when something else is occurring (marriage or moving into a new home).

But don’t just wait for a life change. Take notice of your sleep quality. Do you wake up throughout the night because you are sleeping hot? Do you toss and turn because you can’t quite get comfortable? Do you sleep all night but still wake up groggy or in pain? These are all signs it may be time for a new mattress.

If you missed the Black Friday mattress sale, don’t stress.

Cyber Monday is also a great time to look for mattress discounts. Plus, with the new bed in a box mattress model, most companies are able to offer attractive discounts throughout the year.

Mattress deals can get confusing.

You are likely to see some huge promotions being advertised, such as “60% off” or “a free adjustable bed” or “free boxspring with any queen mattress”. But take some time to research the actual mattress you are considering to buy. There is very little chance of a company giving away an adjustable bed for “free”. They are making that money up somewhere, and they usually make it up in mattress quality.

When looking for the best Black Friday mattress deals, look at Zoma.
