This month's mattress topper deals brings you savings on cooling mattress toppers from big-name brands such as Helix, Molecule, and Tempur-Pedic. Right now, you can save 27% on the Birch Plush Organic Mattress Topper at Helix, which is our top latex and eco-friendly pick in our guide to the best mattress toppers.

We saw some spectacular discounts last month thanks to the summer Prime Day sales, a four-day event that saw huge price drops on mattress toppers at Amazon. However, now that the Labor Day mattress sales are on the horizon, plenty of the biggest brands have already launched their official deals for the holiday.

The Labor Day sales promise plenty of deals on mattress toppers that can offer the comfort and support of the best mattresses for a fraction of the price. Below, you'll find the best bed topper sales this August, plus a lookback at the best deals we saw during Prime Week and the best mattress toppers for college dorm beds to buy before September.

This month's best mattress topper deals

1. Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Topper: was $329 now $279 at Tempur-Pedic

1. Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Topper: twin was $329 now $279 at Tempur-Pedic
While the original Tempur-Adapt topper brought us superb comfort, it wasn't the best at cooling us down. So, that's why we jumped at the chance to test its cooling upgrade for our Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper review. The Tempur-Adapt + Cooling may cost $60 extra, but we feel it's worth it — especially with the current 20% discount that takes a queen to $359 (was $429). While there's no trial available, you do get 30-day returns and a 10-yer warranty, plus free shipping.

3. Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper:twin was from $49.99 now from $44.99 with code SLEEP10 at Lucid
While Lucid's signature topper comes in three heights (2", 3", or 4"), we tested the 4" version for our Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper review and found that it provided plush comfort for side sleepers and good temperature regulation for such as low price. Thanks to the promo code SLEEP10 which gets you 10% off, a 2" queen is now $62.99 down from $69.99. However, Lucid threw a 30% off sale last month to compete with Prime Day (where a 2" queen was $52.49), so we think ther's a bigger discount to come.

Mattress topper sales FAQs

Are mattress toppers worth it?

So, do mattress toppers work or are they just a waste of money? Well, if you're toally fine with your current mattress don't find it to be too soft, too hard, or too warm, then buying a mattress topper isn't necessary.

However, if you feel that your bed isn't offering you the support and comfort you need but don't have the budget for a new mattress, a mattress topper could be all you need to help you get better sleep. If your mattress is too firm, a memory foam mattress topper is great for adding some softness, while you can also get firmer toppers to add support to a mattress that's too soft.

Meanwhile, if you feel that your mattress is trapping body heat or you experience overheating and night sweats, then there are plenty of cooling mattress toppers designed to add temperature control to your mattress.

Also, If you like the feel of memory foam but have a spring mattress, you can add a memory foam topper to simulate the feel of the best hybrid mattresses or the best memory foam mattresses. A thick (3" to 4") mattress topper is also great to extend the life of your mattress, especially if your mattress is reaching the 10-year mark but you're not ready to buy a new one.

How do I choose a mattress topper?

We've created a handy comprehensive guide on how to choose a mattress topper, but here's a quick summary:

  • Consider the type. Most mattress toppers come in one of four materials: memory foam, latex, down, or hybrid. Memory foam is most popular as it softens hard beds and tends to be the cheaper option, but natural latex foam offers a breathable, hypoallergenic surface. Skip down mattress toppers altogether as they are incredibly thin and don't leave an impact, but you can go for a hybrid mattress topper with a down pillow top and a supportive foam base.
  • Consider what you need. Does your bed need softening? Choose a plush memory foam mattress topper. Could it be firmer? Look for a mattress topper with a form option. Experience night sweats? Look for a mattress topper with cooling tech such as a heat-dissipating cover or ventilated foam. Do you weigh over 230lbs? Look for something on the firmer side.
  • Consider your sleep position: Side sleepers will need more cushioning, while stomach sleepers will need firmer support. Back sleepers should go for something with balanced support and comfort.
  • Consider the height. Never choose a mattress topper below 2" tall or above 4" high. A thin mattress topper won't make a difference and an ultra-thick mattress topper will make your bed too tall and squidgy. 3" toppers will suit most beds, but 2" mattress topper are good for new beds and 4" mattress toppers are great for older beds or side sleepers who need extra plushness.

When is the best time to buy a mattress topper?

Like mattress sales, mattress topper sales tend to offer the biggest discounts during major sales periods like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, and Black Friday. The current Amazon Prime Day sales are also a great time to look for mattress topper bargains.

This year's Labor Day mattress sales, have already started and are due to peak around Labor Day (September 1), and we'll be updating this list regularly with the best Labor Day deals that emerge this month. To get the best deal, shop for a mattress topper in the weeks surrounding this major date.
