When is Labor Day and when do the sales begin?
Although many brands have already launched Labor Day sales, many of these are actually just the usual deals they offer repackaged as Labor Day savings. For the best deals, we’d recommend waiting until a week or two before Labor Day to start searching. Labor Day itself is on Monday 2nd September.
Many of the larger brands will also extend sales beyond Labor Day itself, meaning you may find discounts on offer until the following weekend.
What you can expect from the Labor Day sales
We have historically seen good deals and offers from the Labor Day sales, both online and in store. But, as previously mentioned, some of the discounts you’ll come across will just be the same deals that brands run every month.
In general, the best discounts will be offered by the brands themselves nearer to Labor Day, although occasionally a third-party retailer will make an even better offer.
The biggest discounts tend to be offered on mattresses, but mattress toppers, bedding and pillows can be found in the sales as well. We expect to see major discounts from these brands:
- Saatva
- DreamCloud
- Nectar
- Helix Sleep
- Casper
- Emma
- Tempur-Pedic
- Brooklyn Bedding
- Purple
Is Labor Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Yes you'll find this year's best hybrid mattresses and best memory foam mattresses discounted for Labor Day, giving plenty of options for those looking for a new bed. Labor Day is a great time to buy a new mattress, with some deals rivalling those you’ll find during the Black Friday mattress deals. It’s true that you may save a little more at that time, but many brands offer discounts that make it worth buying now.
Labor Day is also the last major sale event of the year before Black Friday in November, and you’ll usually see the best prices offered during the summer months. As long as the brand in question isn’t just offering its normal deal price, you should be able to make a decent saving on Labor Day.

Is Labor Day better than Black Friday for mattress sales?
Depending on the brand, you can often expect slightly better discounts on mattresses during Black Friday, rather than Labor Day. However, Labor Day is most often the last sale before Black Friday, in November. So, if you’re in need of a new mattress soon, then Labor Day is your best bet.
