Starting in late January, you might see mattress stores near you advertising their yearly Presidents’ Day sale. These kinds of sales are also increasingly available from online retailers throughout this holiday weekend.
Offers vary but often include drastically reduced prices on mattresses and other sleep accessories. Some companies offer product bundles that include discounts on extras like blankets, sheets, and pillows with the purchase of a mattress. Typically, these are deeper discounts than you’d see during the rest of the year, even with the use of a standard coupon code.
This year, Presidents’ Day falls on Monday, February 19, but mattress sales typically begin days or even weeks before and extend throughout the weekend. Because it’s the first big mattress sale of the year, companies provide significant discounts you won’t see again until Memorial Day sales in late May.
We’ll discuss our list of the top online mattress and bedding sales for Presidents’ Day 2024. We’ll also offer some tips for online mattress shopping.

Where to Buy a Mattress on Presidents’ Day
Bedding retailers often have Presidents’ Day sales both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. At a physical location, you can briefly test out the bed before making your purchase. Staff members are also on hand to answer questions.
However, buying online is often even more convenient. You can shop from the comfort of your home and compare products without having to travel to several locations. And while the offerings at a retail location are limited, you can explore all available models online.
There are many other reasons to shop online Presidents’ Day sales, too.
Better Discounts Online
Selling mattresses online involves fewer overhead costs than selling them in a brick-and-mortar store. This means companies can offer deeper discounts online.
Online retailers offer hundreds or even thousands of dollars off of their mattresses during Presidents’ Day sales. And many online sales include sleep accessories like pillowcases, blankets, and mattress protectors.
While a Presidents’ Day sale at a retail location does provide some discounts, keep in mind that they are location-specific. Online sales often apply across the site and include more mattress models.
Larger Selection
When you visit a retail location, your shopping is limited to mattresses available in-store. If you want a bed that the retailer doesn’t have, the staff may be able to order and ship it to you. By contrast, online retailers offer direct-to-consumer shipping, which doesn’t limit your selection to stores near you.
Shopping at an online store also allows you to explore and compare different brands so you can choose the best mattress for you. You can peruse every model a company manufactures, as well as sleep accessories like pillows, mattress toppers, and alarm clocks. Brick-and-mortar stores are less likely to have a full range of products available on the shelves.
Convenient Shopping Experience
During Presidents’ Day mattress sales, physical stores are filled with customers. This can make it challenging to locate your ideal mattress while also navigating a holiday shopping crowd.
When you’re shopping online, you can go at your own pace without needing to compete with other customers to look at a product. You also have access to much more information. Bedding company websites provide extensive details about each model, including mattress specs, product videos, pictures of the bed, and information about each mattress’ construction.
Online shopping also allows you to efficiently comparison shop, and it may appeal to shoppers who are concerned about pressure from salespeople.
Hassle-Free Customer Service
The rush of customers can overload mattress store staff during Presidents’ Day sales. If you have questions about a bed, you may not be able to get the level of personalized customer service you want.
When shopping online, you have more information at hand about each bed, as well as the details of additional policies. For example, you can use the site’s FAQ and Q&A pages to learn about shipping, warranties, and returns.
Many sites offer a live chat function that allows you to communicate directly with a customer support representative. Some of these are 24/7 services, while others have specific hours each day when you can contact an employee and get your questions answered.
Generous Trial Period
Most online mattress purchases come with a lengthy sleep trial. These trials allow you to try out the mattress for a period of time – sometimes up to a year – before committing to the purchase or initiating a refund. In a mattress showroom, you can try the mattress for only a few minutes before deciding.
Online retailers typically offer full refunds during the trial period. Brick-and-mortar stores, on the other hand, don’t generally offer refunds on used mattresses. If they do, you’ll likely have to pay a restocking fee.
Tips for Presidents’ Day Mattress Shopping
It can be tempting to make a quick shopping decision to take advantage of Presidents’ Day sales. However, buying a mattress can be a big investment, so it’s important to do your research before buying. There are a variety of things to keep in mind to avoid making a rushed decision.
Check Out Third-Party Mattress Reviews
Read reviews written by testers who have tried out the mattress. They can provide valuable information about the bed, including insights about its features and the type of sleepers it best suits. Their evaluations can help you make smarter purchasing decisions.
Many review sites also provide coupon codes to help you save even more money, or they may provide further information about sitewide discounts.
Buy Directly from the Brand
While some mattresses are available through third-party retailers, you’ll probably get the best deal if you buy directly from the brand’s website. This ensures that you’ll be able to work with the company’s customer support team if there are any issues. Buying directly from a brand will also lock in any warranties and return policies, which may not be applicable if you buy the mattress through a third party.
Look for Savings Bundles
If you’re interested in sleep accessories in addition to a mattress, look for sales that include bundling. Some companies offer sleep accessories in a reduced-price or free bundle with a mattress purchase. These accessories may include pillows, blankets, sheets, bed frames, or mattress protectors.
Subscribe to Email Newsletters
Most mattress companies send out a regular email newsletter that announces sales and new products. Sometimes you’ll receive a discount code just for signing up for the newsletter. Visit the retailer’s website and provide your email address to receive information and savings directly in your inbox.
Review Customer Policies
It’s important to understand the particulars of your mattress purchase. This includes policies regarding shipping, warranty, and product returns. Knowing when your bed will be delivered, what issues are covered in the warranty, and how to initiate a return can help you feel more confident about your purchase.
