Don't worry, you haven't missed your chance to buy a great mattress for less in the Labor Day sales. I've scoured the best of the extended deals and the great news is that there's still time to save $400 on all sizes of the Saatva Classic at Saatva. This takes a queen down to $1,829 from $2,229. We strongly doubt you'll see that discount again until Black Friday

But if you want to save on the best mattress we've ever tested, you'll have to act fast. Saatva usually wraps their holiday sale up swiftly, so we don't expect this $400 sale to be live for long. Another time-limited sale I'd recommend hopping on is the 30% off the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud mattress at Tempur-Pedic deal, which shaves $599.70 off of a queen.

For discounts on the other end of the price spectrum, there's still an extra 10% off the SweetNight CoolNest at SweetNight today, which takes a queen down to $360 from $669.99. That incredible value on one of the best cheap mattresses we've tested. Let's get into the best of the extended Labor Day mattress sales...

We don't expect this Saatva Labor Day sale to be live for much longer, so you'll have to act fast.

Our Saatva Classic mattress review: ★★★★★
User score: ★★★★★

The Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress is the best mattress for side sleepers we've ever tested. The plush pillow top absorbs pressure from around the shoulders and hips, while the up-to 1,000 individually wrapped coils help keep your spine in healthy alignment. The result? A squishy mattress that you sleep on top of, as opposed to sinking into. Snap up this 25% off Helix mattress sale before the discount goes back up.

Full disclosure, this 63% off DreamCloud mattress sale is the same discount we track all year round under 'Labor Day' sales language. However, it's still incredible value for money on the best mattress in a box you can shop online. It boasts full-body support, soothing pressure relief and a breathable build. For a mid-range mattress, it comes with excellent benefits, including a 365 night sleep trial and forever warranty.

Our DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress review: ★★★★
User score: ★★★★½

The Tempur-Cloud has a body-contouring design similar to the ones found in this year's best memory foam mattress, and our testers all agreed that it's a great choice for side sleepers who enjoy a sink-in feel. That's thanks to its unique Tempur-material: an advanced memory foam originally developed by NASA. It delivers sink-in a high level of comfort and pressure relief that's especially good at relieving hip and back pain while you sleep. There's up to $719 off the Tempur-Cloud in today's extended sale - that's a phenomenal saving.
