It’s estimated that 1 in 3 Americans are sleep deprived. There are many factors to blame for this, from busy work schedules and screen use through to poor sleep hygiene. But a factor that I think is important to consider is your mattress.

If you’re sleeping on a bed that doesn’t support your body, you’re probably spending the night tossing and turning, instead of getting the quality sleep you need.

But today’s Labor Day sales are a fantastic opportunity to get the kind of mattress that’s impossible not to fall asleep on, for some of the lowest prices of the year. And that includes the best mattress of the year with $400 off the Saatva Classic today.

But that’s not the only impressive deal we’ve spotted. We’ve been tracking the Labor Day mattress and sleep sales live and found the following three beds that will deliver comfortable sleep night after night...

Saatva Classic Mattresswas $1,399now $999 at Saatva

Saatva Classic Mattress: twin was $1,399 now $999 at Saatva
The Saatva Classic is designed to suit almost any type of sleeper. With three firmness options (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm and Firm) as well as two heights (11.5” and 14”), it’s a luxury, customizable mattress that’s impossible not to fall in love with. Voted as this year’s best hybrid mattress our team have tested, it’s made from layers of high-density memory foam, a steel base coil unit, a Euro pillow top and individually wrapped coils. We tested the Luxury Firm option for the Saatva Classic mattress review and found the cushioning feel meant we could get comfortable almost instantly, while the pressure relief kept us supported all night long. Saatva’s Labor Day sale means you can get $400 off sitewide when you follow our links, which drops the price of a queen down to $1,739 (was $2,139). That's the best Saatva mattress sale you can expect this Labor Day. You’ll also get free white glove delivery, a 365-night sleep trial and a forever warranty.

DreamCloud Classic: twin from £399 plus free bedding bundle at DreamCloud
If you’re working with a smaller budget, you don’t have to sacrifice a luxurious feel. The DreamCloud Classic is a close competitor to the Saatva Classic for less than half the price. While you can't customize the DreamCloud to suit your sleep, the balance of memory foam and individually wrapped coils creates a medium-firm feel. After testing the bed for the DreamCloud mattress review, we think side sleepers, back sleepers and even some stomach sleepers will find this bed comfortable. With a surface that cushions your body, you won’t need to worry about tossing and turning. We do see this DreamCloud mattress sale throughout the year, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t excellent value. A queen is $549 and in thr Labor Day sales you get $599 of bedding included for free. Like the Saatva, you’ll get a forever warranty and a 365-night sleep trial (as well as free shipping and returns).

Helix Midnight Luxe: was $1,436 now $1,048.20 with TOMS27 code at Helix

Helix Midnight Luxe: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.20 with TOMS27 code at Helix
With four layers above a spring layer, the cushioning and contouring pressure relief of the Helix Midnight Luxe makes it the best mattress for side sleepers you can buy. While it gives just enough beneath areas like the shoulders, hips and knees, the ErgoAlign layer and robust support means your spine will stay aligned and you won’t sink too far into the bed. After our Sleep Editor reviewed the Helix Midnight Luxe, she fell in love with the instant comfort you feel from it. With our TOMS27 code you can get 27% off, bringing a queen down to $1,751 (was $2,398.66). You’ll also get a 100-night sleep trial, a forever warranty and free shipping.
