There’s nothing better than getting quality sleep, and while many factors contribute to this, it starts at the base — a mattress. Multiple retailers are having Labor Day sales on new mattresses, bestsellers and highly rated options at low prices.
I frequently cover sales like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Day for NBC Select, so I know how to identify Labor Day deals that are actually worth buying.

Best Labor Day mattress deals in 2024
Below, I gathered the best mattress sales happening during this Labor Day. The following products are based on our previous coverage, NBC Select editor favorites or are highly rated at their respective retailers.
This medium-firm mattress has three layers of supportive foam so you don’t overheat as you sleep and feel supported and soothed throughout the night — perfect for all sleep styles. The top layer helps with airflow, the second layer has memory foam so the mattress aligns with your body for more comfortable sleep and helps you sleep longer, and the last layer is a durable base that prevents sinking, according to the brand.
Reviewers say that despite this mattress’s higher price point, it is worth the investment because it has enough cushioning for comfort but still gives them the support they need to prevent waking up with body aches and pain. According to the brand, this is because it has responsive foam, a supportive layer that adapts to your body and a durable base.
Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress
Reviewers who say they’re hot sleepers say they never got hot when they combined this mattress with their favorite cooling bed sheets. That’s because this fiberglass-free mattress has the brand’s triple cooling system, is cool to the touch and has three foam layers in its interior, according to the brand.
Sleep Number Innovation Series iLe Mattress
According to the brand, this 12-inch-tall mattress has multiple pain-relieving layers and is great for hot sleepers because it has a gel-infused, breathable and temperature-regulating interior. Reviewers say it’s plush, and they sleep longer and wake up feeling more well-rested after a night’s sleep on it.
Serta iComfortECO Smooth Hybrid
This hybrid eco-friendly mattress, made with recycled materials and plant-based foam, is designed to minimize the impact of your movement and give all sleep positions the needed support, according to the brand. You can tailor this mattress to your needs by choosing the size, cooling level and feel.
Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress
This option from Nectar is excellent regardless of the type of sleeper you are since it targets multiple sleep concerns simultaneously. Compared to past Nectar models, it has more cooling fibers and pressure-relieving memory foam. According to the brand, it also has a stability layer to minimize motion transfer and a response layer that gives back support and promotes spinal alignment.
If you’re a side sleeper, consider this mattress from Helix Midnight, which was made specifically for those who toss and turn as they sleep. Unlike other Helix mattresses, this one has extra support throughout its layering. One of the many layers inside is memory foam, which relieves pressure. It also has steel coils at the base and gives lumbar support to reduce pressure on the lower back, according to the brand.
This mattress is great for those with back pain because it has medium firmness and finds that balance between being comfortable enough that you can easily relax but not too soft that it’s hard to get out of bed, according to experts in our guide to the best mattresses for back pain. The interior of the mattress is made from the brand’s foam, which prioritizes keeping you cool while also relieving pressure points, according to the brand.
If you live an active lifestyle, consider this hybrid mattress from Zoma because it helps with muscle recovery and allows for deeper sleep to improve your athletic performance, according to the brand. Reviewers say they complain less about body aches and love that the bed’s firmness is customizable so that it can meet their needs. The mattress comprises three layers — a cooling, pressure-reliving memory foam top layer, a responsive layer in the middle and a base that helps with spine alignment.
Leesa makes some of our favorite mattresses, including this one, which reviewers say does wonders for their sleep—all while being at a lower price point. They also say this option has a medium feel—not too firm but not too soft. Other options from the brand, including the Sapira Chill (great for hot sleepers), allow you to choose comfort levels. Regardless of the mattress you choose from Leesa, it will come with a free pillow and sheet set.
Plank by Brooklyn Bedding Plank Firm Mattress
This mattress is great for those who want a flat and firm mattress that still gives needed support throughout the night. It’s made with six layers of dense foam that keep you cool, improves lumbar support and alleviates pain, according to the brand. This mattress is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association.
