Memorial Day is fast approaching, because time only passes faster as we get older. You know what else we need as we get older? A better mattress. I can’t rave enough about how much changing my mattress helped my back pain, taking me from starting each day half hunched over to feeling like a springy teen again. While a mattress can’t turn back time, a better mattress can lead to a lot of things: Better sleep! Better support! Less pain overnight!
One of the best times to shop for a mattress is leading up to Memorial Day. We’ve rounded up everything we recommend for a better night’s sleep that’s currently on sale ahead of the holiday on May 26. Everything listed is based on queen size, with the discount listed based on the price we usually see these mattresses and sheets available for.

Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals

Avocado
Here’s a sale that will have you saying “it’s an Avocado [mattress], thanks!” (IYKYK, we miss the Vine days). The organic materials of these mattresses are no joke, though, and provide you with support by way of materials like organic latex. You can use code HONOR15 to get 15 percent off the Avocado Green mattress, or HONOR10 to get 10 percent off the Eco Organic Hybrid mattress.
Helix
The maker of our favorite mattress has kicked off its Memorial Day Sale with a nice discount: 25 percent off with the code MEMDAY25. It’s not the lowest discount we’ve seen, but the lowest these mattresses go is 27 percent off, so it’s pretty close. You’ll also get a free sheet set and mattress protector with the purchase of any Luxe or Elite mattress. The savings shown are based on the usual price we see.
Naturepedic
“Organic” pertains to mattresses too, and this is the central theme of Naturepedic’s mattresses. Organic cotton, wool, and latex work together to lend you both pressure relief and support. And to really push the envelope (or rather, box), you can customize the firmness on both the left and right sides of the EOS Classic mattress. The entire site is 20 percent off with the code MEMORIAL20, which you can apply at checkout for a mattress or the brand’s fantastic sheets.
Nolah
It’s hard to say “no” to Nolah’s Memorial Day deal (and the Evolution Hybrid mattress, if I’m being honest). Yes, it’s an exceptional mattress that was built for relieving pressure and supporting lower backs, but 35 percent off your purchase and two free pillows is pretty sweet. Plus, WIRED readers get an extra something-something ($50 off with code WIRED50). We usually see some kind of sale already underway at Nolah, but these are better prices than you’ll regularly find.
Brooklyn Bedding
Brooklyn Bedding makes a whole lotta mattresses, all made in Arizona! Fan favorites (not just for us but for sleepers out there near and far) include mattresses like the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe Hybrid, which is a whole other level for keeping you sleeping cool. For Memorial Day, you can get up to 30 percent off sitewide with code MEMORIAL30.
Birch
Birch is the organic sister brand of Helix, and it’s running the same early Memorial Day Sale with the code MEMDAY25 for 25 percent off site-wide. While you won’t get extra sheets, you will also get two of Birch’s Eco-Rest Pillows with any mattress purchase. Birch makes both our favorite organic mattress and our favorite mattress topper (organic or not!), and it’s a great choice if you’re looking to go organic in your bedroom. After all, you spend eight hours a day sleeping in there. The savings shown are based on the usual price we see, rather than the full list price.
