A good mattress won't come cheap. You should prepare to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to find the bed that's right for you. Still, if you're working with a tighter budget and you're looking to save some cash, then it's worth learning about the best time to buy a mattress.
Before I started as H&G's resident sleep writer, I was a price tracker. I spent eight hours a day surfing the sites of the major mattress merchants, waiting for deals to drop. I learned that the best time to buy a mattress is often a federal holiday. You tend to get deep discounts around Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Don't fret if there isn't a major holiday coming up when you're reading this – you can shop the site-specific sales all year round.
