Discover the best mattresses to buy this Labor Day — hot deals from Saatva, DreamCloud and Nectar

With the Labor Day mattress sales live now, the best mattresses you can buy this year are all available online, discounted. That includes $400 off the Saatva Classic at Saatva when you follow our links, reducing a queen to $1,739 (was $2,139), which is likely be the lowest price we see for the rest of the year.
Gone are the days of trekking to a mattress store miles away just to sit on a bed and make a rushed decision. And personally, I’m glad. I’m not a fan of shopping in store. It’s a common misconception that the best way to buy a mattress is to test it in person. Realistically, you’re not going to get a good idea of what a mattress is like to sleep on by lying on it self-consciously for a few minutes in a shop.
However, finding the best mattress to buy online means you'll get at least 100 nights to sleep on it. Within that time, you can return the bed for a full refund. Some brands, such as Saatva, let you sleep on it for a full year to make sure you’re happy with your purchase. Here’s why, after months of testing, we think these three mattresses are the best you can buy online and worth investing in this Labor Day.
3 best mattresses to buy this Labor Day
Saatva Classic Mattress: twin was $1,399 now $999 at Saavta
After reviewing the Saatva Classic, we believe it’s the best hybrid mattress for all sleepers thanks to its expert balance of support and pressure relief. Made from five layers of high-quality materials, including a layer of lumbar zone wrapped coils, a memory foam lumbar crown and a three-inch Euro top, it keeps the spine in perfect alignment night long, no matter your sleeping position. It’s also available in three different firmness levels to suit different body types and sleep styles, Plush Soft, Luxury Firm and Firm. Saatva leads the way in the mattress industry with its excellent perks, like the previously mentioned 365-night sleep trial, a lifetime warranty and free white glove delivery. Using our links, you can access the $400 off Saatva Labor Day mattress sale, which drops the price of a queen down to $1,739 (was $2,139). It’s the lowest price we expect to see this year, so it’s well worth investing in now.

DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress: twin from $399 + free bedding at DreamCloud
A close competitor to the Saatva Classic (for a fraction of the price), the DreamCloud Classic a mattress that delivers incredible value for money. With pressure relieving memory foam and individually wrapped coils, the hybrid structure comes in a medium-firm feel. This means you won’t sink into it and you won’t stay completely on top of the mattress. It’ll give just enough beneath you to cushion your joints and relieve pressure, but keep the spine aligned. It’s not as specialist as the Saatva, but it’s a great alternative for those working with a lower budget. Read our full DreamCloud Classic mattress review to find out more. DreamCloud mattress sales run throughout the year, which means we don’t expect to see much of a price drop at all for Labor Day. Currently a queen is $649, and a generous bedding bundle worth $599 is included for free. DreamCloud matches Saatva’s perks, so you’ll enjoy a 365-night sleep trial, a forever warranty and free shipping. Can't decide between the two? Read our Saatva vs DreamCloud comparison piece.

Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress: twin from $549 at Nectar
If you’re looking for extra pressure relief and that classic slow moving ‘hug’ of memory foam, the Nectar Premier will be a great option. When we reviewed the Nectar Premier mattress, we were impressed by how easy it was to move around and change positions on, despite the thick foams, so much so we voted it as the best memory foam mattress of the year. The medium-firm feel means the mattress contours around your body, but keeps you evenly supported. The four memory foam layers mean you can expect excellent motion isolation, and the edge support was also impressive — making it a great mattress for couples. Like the DreamCloud, Nectar mattress sales are year round, meaning while it hasn’t necessarily dropped in price for Labor Day, you can expect great freebies. Right now, a queen is $949 and you can add a bedding bundle worth $599 for $179. You’ll also get a 365-night trial, a forever warranty and free shipping and returns.
