Labor Day is here and there are plenty of fantastic bargains floating around. But if you've been waiting for a sale to invest in a high-quality luxury mattress, you might be wondering where to invest your money.

I've done the hard work for you by rounding-up my top five hotel-style mattress picks from this year's Labor Day mattress sales. Even without a discount they're worth every cent, so with a price cut they're an absolute steal in terms of price vs performance.

We rate the Saatva Classic as the best mattress for most people and it's my number one choice to buy today. But it's not the only hotel-style bed worth considering today, especially if you have a smaller budget. My faves are listed below, and for up to the minute discounts check our Labor Day mattress sales and sleep deals live tracker.

1. DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress: twin was $1,148 now $399 at DreamCloud
Yes, it's always on offer, but there's no denying the excellent value for money you'll get with the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid. It offers a luxury feel that rivals the Saatva Classic, but at a much lower price point. A queen is permanently reduced to $649 but this Labor Day you'll also get a free bedding bundle. It impressed every member of our team during our DreamCloud Mattress review (we tested a slightly older model but are in the process of reviewing the current version, and don't think the differences will be too significant) and offers fantastic pressure relief and support that makes it one of the best mattresses for back pain you can buy.

2. Saatva Classic mattress: twin was $1,399 now $999 at Saatva
The Saatva Classic is the best luxury mattress you can currently buy, with three firmness options and two heights, meaning there's an option to suit nearly everyone. In our Saatva Classic mattress review we found the mattress provided superior support and comfort, as well as offering excellent temperature control, motion isolation and edge support. Follow our Saatva Labor Day mattress sale link to get $400 off all sizes, taking a queen down to $1,739 (was $2,139). The best Saatva mattress sale we normally see on the Classic is up to $300 off a queen and $200 off a twin, so you're saving double here on the smaller sizes. You'll also get a 365-night trial, a lifetime warranty, and free white glove delivery.

3. Helix Midnight Luxe: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at Helix
The Helix Midnight Luxe is the best mattress for side sleepers you can buy, offering superb support and ample cushioning for key pressure points. In our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review we praised the mattress for its enhanced lumbar support, fantastic pressure relief and noted the exceptional motion isolation, which makes it a great choice for couples. Our exclusive TOMS27 code gives you 27% off all sizes, taking a queen down to $1,751.03 (was $2,398.66). You'll also get a 100-night trial, limited lifetime warranty and free shipping.

4. Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress: twin was $932 now $633.76 at Brooklyn Bedding with code TOMS32
In our Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress review we praised the mattress' luxury finish, plush comfort and excellent support, particularly for combination sleepers. This is another excellent choice if you're a hot sleeper, with the GlacioTex cover, copper-infused foams and coils effectively keeping temperature regulated throughout the night. Brooklyn Bedding are offering a generous 30% off for Labor Day, but we've snagged an exclusive TOMS32 code that gives you 32% off all sizes, taking a queen down to $905.76 (MSRP $1,332). You'll get a 120-night trial, limited lifetime warranty and free shipping, plus there's also a cheaper all-foam option if you prefer.

5. Bear Elite Hybrid mattress: twin was $1,998 now $1,299 at Bear
If you're a hot sleeper looking for a luxury mattress, the Bear Elite Hybrid is the best cooling mattresses around. Like the Saatva Classic, the Bear is available in three different firmness options and also has excellent lumbar support to help ease aches and pains. The top notch cooling comes courtesy of copper-infused foam, Phase Change Materials and breathability from the individually encased coils. However, we felt the addition of the Celliant-infused cover (an extra $300) elevated this mattress from a breathable, temperature regulating mattress to one that is actively cooling. A queen is reduced by 35% in today's sales, down to $1,578 (MSRP $2,427) or $1,773 (MSRP $2,727) with the Celliant cover. You will also get a free bedding bundle of sheets, pillows and a mattress protector. The mattress comes with a 120-night trial, limited lifetime warranty and free shipping.

Jo Plumridge is an experienced mattress reviewer with several years' experience covering all things mattresses and sleep, and who tests memory foam, hybrid and organic mattresses. What Jo doesn't know about a boxed mattress isn't worth knowing, so naturally we tasked her with producing a series of features for Tom's Guide looking at all aspects of mattresses, from how to pick between latex and memory foam (it's a tricky one), to the seven mistakes people make when buying a mattress for the first time. When testing the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid for Tom's Guide, Jo said: "I loved the back support and pressure relief it offered. Plus, it looks far more expensive than it is." When she isn’t writing about sleep, Jo also writes extensively on interior design, home products and photography.
