    If youā€™re in the market for a new mattress, Presidents Day is often one of the best times of the year to get one at a great discount. And though the holiday weekend is over, most brands have extended their offers, so you still have time to shop and save. Many of the models CR has tested in our labs and found to be great performers are still on sale for prices that match or come close to the best weā€™ve seen in months.

    We keep tabs on the mattresses that do well in Consumer Reportsā€™ tests to show you the best offers on high-quality models from top brands such as Helix, Avocado, Puffy, Essentia, and more. The prices listed below are for the queen-size version, but all other sizes are similarly discounted.

    And if youā€™re a CR member, you can take advantage of some exclusive mattress and bedding deals on brands like Avocado, Essentia, Reverie, and Saatva. Youā€™ll need to be logged in to see the details.

    For more information on mattresses, see CRā€™s mattress buying guide. CR members can check out our mattress ratings to see how well more than 200 models do in our tests for supporting people of all sizes, whether you sleep on your side or your back. OurĀ mattress selectorĀ can also help you narrow down your choices.Ā

    Finding the right mattress for how you sleep can be tricky, but in our tests, theĀ Midnight LuxeĀ is a great choice for people of all sizes, whether they sleep on their back or side. One thing to note about this mattress is that itā€™s 14 inches high, so youā€™ll need deep-pocket sheets. When you use the code PDS25, youā€™ll save 25 percent sitewide, including for this mattress, and youā€™ll get two free pillows.

    Why itā€™s a good deal:Ā This even lower than the sale price we saw during Black Friday and the recent holiday season.

    TheĀ Essentia StratamiĀ serves petite- and average-sized back sleepers best, earning a top-tier rating in terms of support. (Large/tall back sleepers and side sleepers of all sizes will experience decent support, too, given its nearly impressive scores in those categories.) Itā€™s only 8 inches thick and has a firmness-scale score of 6 out of 10, similar to that of the all-foam Casper. The Essentia is the only mattress from our top-four innerspring and foam lists to receive a top rating in both owner satisfaction and reliability, according to data from our CR members survey.

    Why itā€™s a good deal: This is one of the most expensive mattresses in CRā€™s ratings, so the extended Presidents Day sale presents a worthwhile opportunity. The 20 percent discount will automatically apply at checkout.

    TheĀ My Green Mattress Natural EscapeĀ innerspring model topped with latex foam earns near-perfect ratings for back and spine support, no matter the sleeperā€™s size or favored sleep position. But like most innersprings in CRā€™s ranking for the best mattresses for hot sleepers, this mattress-in-a-box receives just an average rating for stability, which means sleepers may feel vibration from a partnerā€™s tossing and turning. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, this mattress lands right in the middle, with a 5. While the brand received an above-average score for comfort in CR member surveys, its owner satisfaction rating was just average.

    Using the code SAVE15 takes 15 percent off your entire order, including the Natural Escape.

    Why itā€™s a good deal: This trumps the $100 off deal we saw earlier this month by $130, so now is a great time to buy.

    Avocado makes some top-notch mattresses, and this sale is a great chance to save on one. (TheĀ GreenĀ usually goes for $1,999, and the Green Pillowtop is priced at $2,499.) Both Avocado mattresses support a wide range of side- and back-sleeper body types. On our firmness scale, the Avocado Green is very firm and the Green Pillowtop is medium-firm. Right now you can save 10 percent on a mattress by using the code SAVE10 at checkout.

    Why itā€™s a good deal:Ā This is the standard discount weā€™ve seen for the Green mattress, but the Pillowtop version is about $50 less than it has been in the past month. Whatā€™s more, CR members may be able to save a little more throughĀ an exclusive offer for members only.

    Bear Mattress is offering 35 percent off sitewide for Presidents Day. A mattress purchase will also get you two Cloud pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector at no extra cost. The company typically only includes pillows outside of big sales like this. Just use the code PD35 at checkout.

    TheĀ Bear Original foam mattressĀ performs well in our tests, and itā€™s a good choice for back and side sleepers who are petite or of average height. (Tall folks may want to look elsewhere.) CRā€™s tests found that this mattress tends to retain heat, so it may be best for those who sleep cooler.

    Why itā€™s a good deal:Ā The sale price has been fluctuating between $649 and $699, so take advantage of this sale before the price jumps back up.

    TheĀ Puffy Lux HybridĀ innerspring/foam mattress-in-a-box comes through with above-average support for nearly every size and style of sleeper. The exception: large and tall back sleepers. The durability is impressive but stability is just average, which could leave sleepers feeling vibration from a partnerā€™s movements. And this model doesnā€™t make shifting sleep positions easy. With a firmness rating of 1 out of 10, itā€™s quite soft.

    Why itā€™s a good deal:Ā The code SAVE750 takes a whopping $800 off the list price of this mattress, matching the low price on Black Friday.

    If youā€™re sick of synthetic materials, this is a good time to consider theĀ Birch by Helix Natural mattress, which is made with materials like cotton, wool, and natural latex. Birchā€™s Presidents Day Sale is going strong; you can take 25percent off sitewide with the code PDS25. This hybrid innerspring performs well in our tests for most sleepers, getting its highest scores for support when it comes to petite back sleepers. It also tests superbly for durability and stability.

    Why itā€™s a good deal:Ā This beats the best discount weā€™ve seen for this mattress all year by 5 percent. The sale also includes two free Eco-Rest pillows.

    This online-only mattress-in-a-box retailer has a 30 percent discount on its mattresses, including its namesake mattress, the GhostBed, which is worth a look. The deal also includes two free pillows, a common extra when buying directly from a mattress brand.

    The queen-size GhostBed does well in our tests for supporting petite people who sleep on their back, and it earns top marks for durability, which means it shows little change in performance after 8 to 10 years of simulated use in our tests.

    Why itā€™s a good deal: This is the best price weā€™ve seen for this model, but it actually hasnā€™t changed in months, so thereā€™s no urgency to buy now.

    The Solaire mattress by SaatvaĀ is made with certified organic materials, a plus for those who prefer that their bedding be organic and donā€™t mind the cost. It offers impressive and stable support for all sleepers. Saatva air mattresses also receive high praise for both comfort and owner satisfaction in our member survey.Ā 

    Why itā€™s a good deal: Saatvaā€™s sale price just went up by about $100, bringing it back to a more typical discount for the retailer. It could drop again by the weekend, however.
