How to save big on the only mattress we've ever given 5-stars — plus the budget rival Memorial Day sales

We're less than a week out from Memorial Day and the mattress sales are flooding in. Case in point: there's $400 off the Saatva Classic at Saatva, which brings a queen down to $1,779 from $2,179. That matches the same deal we saw last Black Friday, making now an excellent time to buy — especially as mattress prices tend to creep up shortly before summer.

I helped test the Saatva Classic in our studio lab, where it secured its top spot in our guide to the best mattress of 2026 thanks to a near-perfect review score. It embodies everything you'd want from a luxury hybrid; customizable support, incredible pressure relief in all sleep positions and reliable temperature regulation all year round.

For me, the Classic is the deal to beat this Memorial Day. But for more options, we're tracking the best Memorial Day mattress sales as they drop. Wondering if the Classic is the mattress for you? Let's take a closer look...

Saatva Classic (twin)
Editor's choice
Save $400
Saatva Classic (twin): was $1,399 now $999 at Saatva

$400 off all sizes of the Saatva Classic mattress matches the same discount we saw during Black Friday, which is an excellent saving and brings a queen down to $1,779 from $2,179. Mattress prices tend to rise ahead of the summer, so the current Saatva Memorial Day mattress sale could be your last chance to buy the Classic at a price this low. Benefits include a 365-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty and free White Glove Delivery.

Why the Saatva Classic is still the best option for most sleepers

We've tested upwards of 130+ mattress and the Saatva Classic sets the benchmark for the best hybrid mattress; non-toxic materials for cleaner sleep, soothing pressure relief for all sleep positions, a lumbar crown for back pain support, plus sturdy edges you can sleep right up against.

We recently re-tested the Classic across five key areas of performance, including temperature regulation (which is how cool it feels), motion isolation (how well it dampens movement across the surface) and pressure relief (how well it removes pressure along the touch points of the bed).

The Classic knocked all of our tests out of the park, which makes it a great option for solo or co-sleepers prone to sleeping on the warm side, as well as anyone seeking body-contouring support.

It comes in three firmness options — Plush Soft, Luxury Firm and Firm — and as you can pick your preference it's comfortable for practically all sleepers (we tested the Luxury Firm and felt it was the sweet spot for most sleep styles).

However, a maximum weight capacity of 600lb (solo or combined) means it's not suitable for heavier bodies. For that, check out the Saatva HD instead, a luxury innerspring mattress with a higher weight limit.

Smaller budget? Rival deals I also recommend

DreamCloud Classic Hybrid (twin)
Excellent value
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid (twin): $349 at DreamCloud

If you like the sound of the Saatva but have a smaller budget, the DreamCloud Classic is the mattress we recommend. It's hybrid design and great all-round performance make it an excellent mid-range alternative. A queen Classic is usually $699, but drops to $649 in the DreamCloud mattress sales

Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro (twin)
Specialist cooling
Save 30%
Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro (twin): was $932 now $652 at Brooklyn Bedding

The Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro shares several similarities with the Saatva; zoned lumbar support for back pain relief, a plush pillow top for pressure relief and even specialist cooling tech, including copper and PCM, to keep temperatures down. A queen hybrid is currently $932 (was $1,332) after a 30% off sale, which is the lowest we've tracked it this year.
