Labor Day might be done and dusted but you can still catch some late mattress sales if you're quick about it, and with so many sales to choose between it can feel overwhelming trying to decide which retailer has the best deals. That’s where we come in. We’ve scoped out who has the best deals between Amazon, Mattress Firm, and Wayfair to help you see which mattress sales are the right ones for you.

Wayfair and Mattress Firm are running up to 70% off in their sales, which can mean solid discounts on mattresses. While Amazon’s discounts aren’t as high, there are more budget mattresses on sale, and Amazon’s fast shipping times are unmatched.

So, how to decide where to shop for one of the best mattresses? It will depend on which brand of mattress you’re looking for and what your budget is. We’ve rounded up a selection of the deals we think are best from each retailer.

No matter where you decide to shop, we recommend bookmarking our Labor Day mattress sales page, as we will be showcasing the best live mattress deals during the sale event.

Amazon Labor Day mattress sales

Amazon is known for its speedy delivery and its ability to stock just about anything you could ever need. But it doesn’t stop there. There are several quality mattresses available, and if you’re a Prime Member, some offer the option of being delivered to you the next day.

We’re seeing smaller discounts here compared to other retailers, but there are more budget mattress options available. We were happy to see discounts on some of Amazon’s best mattresses, such as the DreamCloud, Siena, and Sealy. These discounts were up to 16% off. We were also surprised to find king mattresses on sale, like the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress, at $248 (was $325). Here are three deals worth your attention:

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: twin was $419 now $399 at Amazon
We tested the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress and gave it 4.5 out of five stars. We found that this mattress had excellent pressure relief that would be comfortable for most sleep positions and body types. This is a medium-to-medium firm mattress that also offers good motion isolation, which means you won’t be disturbed by your partner’s movements while you sleep. Amazon is also offering a sale on the queen for $635.95 (was $699). This is the older version of the DreamCloud Classic, but we still maintain that this is an excellent mattress.

Novilla Hybrid Mattress: twin $126.12 at Amazon
Novilla Hybrid mattress in a 12” king is currently available for $208.05 (was $284.99), which is the lowest price I’ve seen on Amazon yet. The 12” queen is also on sale for $180.56 (was $225.99). I do believe that these sizes are likely to sell out during the sale. This is a hybrid mattress that comes in seven size options, from 6" to 14", and which combines memory foam comfort and individually pocketed springs. This mattress is designed to offer support and alleviate pain.

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $215.99 now $161.22 at Amazon
Labor Day is a great time to buy one of our favorite memory foam mattresses for less. After testing this mattress, we noted that it was better suited for side sleepers due to the softer foams that cushion the shoulders and hips. In our Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review, we awarded 3.5 out of five stars, which is a good rating for such a budget option. We wouldn’t recommend this mattress for stomach sleepers as the softer foams won’t offer enough support. We also found that this mattress traps heat, which may not be ideal if you’re a hot sleeper. Still just $161.22 for a 12" twin (was $215.99) is not a bad deal for a memory foam mattress.

Wayfair Labor Day mattress sales

After digging through deals, I can say that mattress sales at Wayfair will not disappoint you. I'm seeing solid savings on big brands such as Purple, Brooklyn Bedding, and Beautyrest. If you’re after a higher-quality mattress, I’d recommend shopping at Wayfair while its Labor Day sale is still running.

That’s not to dismiss Wayfair’s own brand, Wayfair Sleep. We are seeing good deals on these mattresses as well. For example, the Wayfair Sleep Cooling Gel Mattress is just $349.99 for a king, which is a great deal. Perhaps, trying to compete with Amazon, Wayfair is also offering a free 1-day delivery option on some models. These deals are worth checking out:

Sealy Cool Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $1,099 now $226.62 at Wayfair
The Sealy Cool Memory Foam Mattress is designed to help you stay cool and get a comfortable night's sleep. This is done by the Cooper Chill gel memory foam layer, made to regulate temperature and wick away moisture. This is a softer, plusher mattress that is going to offer more of a hug feel that you can expect from memory foam mattresses. A twin is just $226.62 (was $1,099), and over $800 off is a deal worth checking out. You can also snag a queen for $449 (was $1,199).

Comforpedic by Beautyrest Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $1,566.99 now $446.63 at Wayfair
A savings of $1,123 is too good to pass up. That’s what you’ll get on the twin XL Comforpedic Memory Foam mattress by Beautyrest. It’s on sale for $446.63 (was $1,566), and the queen is also on sale for $619.82 (was $2,179). This is the brand's two-layer Providence Hotel Premier Luxe Gel Memory Foam Mattress, which is designed to sleep cooler than other traditional memory foam mattresses. This is due to their gel-infused memory foam and breathable cover. You also get a 100-night free trial to make sure you love your new mattress.

Wayfair Sleep Cooling Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $299.99 now $137.99 at Wayfair
This memory foam mattress is great value for money, as you can get a king for $269.99 (was $349.99), all other sizes are on sale as well. The twin, for example, is just $137.99 (was $229.99) and the queen is just $224.99 (was $299.99). This is a plush memory foam that will offer a softer feel, more suited to side sleepers. This mattress arrives rolled and compressed in a box and takes about 48 hours to fully inflate, so it's not ideal if you’re looking for something that’s going to be ready right away. Wayfair Sleep also offers a 10-year warranty.

Mattress Firm Labor Day mattress sales

There are still some late Mattress Firm Labor Day sales offering big discounts. With deals on brands such as Sealy, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic. Mattress Firm does offer a 120-night sleep trial on most mattresses to give you the chance to return your mattress if you find that you don’t love sleeping on it. Uniquely, they also offer their Low Price Guarantee program, which states they will match the price of certain mattresses if it’s within 120 nights of your original purchase. Take a look at these savings:

Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress: twin was $1,349 now $799 at Mattress Firm
The Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress is on sale for nearly half the price. You can save over $500 on a twin, which is $799 (was $1,349), and $700 on a queen, which is on sale for $1,099 (was $1,799). The queen and full are sold out in this size, leading me to believe that other sizes will sell out as well, especially at these prices. We tested the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress and gave it four out of five stars in our review. We found that it did a solid job of offering enough pressure relief for back and side sleepers, but still gave that ‘hug’ feeling that memory foam users want.

Serta Classic Mattress: twin was $1,199 now $384 at Mattress Firm
If you’re on the hunt for a firm mattress, the Serta Classic is worth considering. Right now, the twin is on sale $384 (was $1,199), and a queen is $449 (was $1,349) for This mattress boasts an 800-density coil support system designed for back and stomach sleepers. The breathable cover regulates body temperature to keep you cool at night. If you’re on the fence still, Mattress Firm offers a 120-night sleep trial to make sure it’s a good fit. Also good to know that if you see this mattress cheaper somewhere else, Mattress Firm will match the price up to 120 nights.

Sealy Frisco 2.0 Pillow Top Mattress: twin was $1,299 now $434.99 at Mattress Firm
A great choice for a guest bedroom or child’s bed is this Sealy Frisco Pillow Top Mattress. A twin is on sale for $434.99 (was $1,299), and a queen is down to $494 (was $1,499).

So who has the best deals? Well, it depends on what you need. If you need super-fast shipping, Amazon is the quickest. Although Wayfair also offers free one-day shipping, as well so worth checking there.
