Best Memorial Day Mattress Deals: Helix, Saatva (2026)

Memorial Day brings The mattress models we test throughout the year are being discounted and going on hot sales. As an experienced deal hunter, I know mattresses often go on sale, but whenever someone asks me the best time to buy, I tell them to wait until Memorial Day or Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday. If you’re looking for a new mattress, now is the time to act.

The WIRED review team thoroughly tests the best mattresses for long-term use. We do not do “nap tests” or make recommendations based on first impressions. Our top picks are tried-and-true and they’re on sale right now. We’ll update this story over the weekend to also include some deals on bedding, pillows, mattress toppers and other sleep accessories. Prices shown are for queen sizes.

Wired Special Deals:

Helix Sleep Midnight Lux Hybrid at $1,824 ($675 off)—use code WIRED27

Use our special coupon code WIRED27 to get 27 percent off our top favorite mattress for most people. We’ve seen it sell for about $100 less in the past, and they’ve thrown in more freebies, but it’s still a great deal. Just be aware that the price may drop slightly at the end of the month. In any case, the Midnight Lux Hybrid is springy and medium-firm and should be suitable for any style of sleeping. Individually wrapped springs are zoned to give you more support where you need it to prevent back pain. It also doesn’t get very warm, although it is thick enough that you will need sheets with deep pockets. This has been our favorite mattress for over eight years.
