You may be wondering if there’s a time of year when you can save significantly on your next mattress.
The short answer is yes! If you’re willing to wait a few weeks or months for the best deal to roll around, you may be able to buy the right mattress at a more affordable cost.
We’ve written this short guide on the best time of year to go mattress shopping so that you can weigh your choices and make the best decision for your financial and physical comfort.
Our mattresses provide exceptional pressure relief, support, and cooling to over 1,000,000 happy sleepers. With innovative materials and design, Casper mattresses are meticulously human-engineered and designed with recycled polyester and upcycled cotton.
If you need a new TV, you’ll likely wait until Cyber Monday. A new car? Studies show that December is the best time to purchase new wheels. As with these other items, the cost of mattresses varies with the seasons.
However, thanks to unique features of the industry, there’s more than one good month to buy a mattress. The following are all However, thanks to the unique features of the industry, there’s more than one good month to buy a mattress, making mattress shopping easier. The following are all great times of year to buy a mattress:
Three-day weekends are generally a great time to buy mattresses, and President’s Day is no exception. As each mattress manufacturer gears up to release new models in the spring, you may find steep discounts on last year’s mattresses. Beat the winter blahs by upgrading your sleep situation.
Like President’s Day, Memorial Day is well-known for its mattress sales. You may find even steeper discounts at retail stores seeking to free up space for new spring inventory than at a mattress retailer. A Memorial Day mattress sale can be the perfect way to use your tax refund. Kick off your summer with a new breathable mattress to keep you cool as the temperatures rise!
Declare independence from sleepless nights thanks to 4th of July mattress sales. This is another great holiday weekend for discounts, including mattress sales. Since many manufacturers have refreshed their stock by July, you may find deals on state-of-the-art hybrid mattresses.
Fall into comfort on Labor Day. With holiday expenses right around the corner, September can be a great time to buy something on your wishlist while you still have the savings.
Retailers celebrate moving into the black with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you’re hoping to make a mattress purchase in-person during this busy shopping period, prepare for crowds taking advantage of sales at retail stores. If you’re buying online, wait until Cyber Monday and Black Friday mattress sales to maximize your savings.
If you need a mattress as soon as possible, simply circle the next date with potential savings and get ready to shop sales.
If you’re looking to purchase a new mattress within the next 6-12 months, spend the intervening time researching the right mattress for your needs so that you’re prepared to make a purchase when the right sale rolls around. Whether you’re replacing your bed because of allergens, a need for better sleep, or just cause, it’s always a good idea to try and save money.
NNow you know when to make a mattress purchase. However, several other purchasing factors can impact your total savings, including where you buy your mattress and the kind of mattress you choose.
WWhere should you buy a mattress? In a retail store or online?
Both methods have their pros and cons.
Want to try your mattress in person before buying it online? That’s possible! You can stop by one of our 50 retail locations throughout the U.S. and try the mattress yourself before you buy it.
It’s easier than ever to try your mattress in person and then take advantage of online buying.
There’s no point in getting a steeply discounted mattress if it’s the wrong mattress for you. Research to see which kind of mattress suits your needs:
You should also consider the overall cost of a new bed frame (if needed). While a spring mattress is often placed on a box spring, foam or hybrid mattress can be placed directly on a frame. However, they’ll need plenty of support from wooden slats.
Try out several kinds of firmnesses and materials at a mattress store near you so you can determine which works best for you. Then, find the right weekend to buy your new mattress and bed frame!
Whether you want plush coziness, cooling comfort, or maximum support, our premium mattress collection has something for your unique sleeping needs. Find exactly what you need for a good night’s sleep.
Are you Should you replace your old mattress?
Different mattresses have different lifespans:
However, while your mattress should last for 10 years, that doesn’t mean it will. What can affect the longevity of your mattress?
If you’re uncomfortable on a mattress you’ve had for five years, it could be because you purchased a low-quality mattress made with materials that degraded quickly. In some cases, select mattresses come with a warranty, and you can get a replacement on the manufacturer’s dime.
However, it’s also possible that your body’s needs have changed due to injuries, hormones, or other factors.
Our rule of thumb? If you cannot get a good night’s sleep on your current mattress, it’s time for a new one. An investment in better sleep is an investment in your overall wellness and longevity.
If you’re reading this in December, you might feel discouraged. You’re sleeping hot, and you wake up with a sore back more mornings than not. Do you really have to wait until February to get better sleep?
No! Look for online mattress sales and discount codes year-round to replace your old mattress.
In addition, you can always take advantage of financing with Affirm or another lender to make your payments manageable.
However, if you can wait a few months, there are other ways to upgrade your sleep situation.
Are your lumpy, dusty pillows preventing you from achieving optimal alignment of your neck and spine?
Upgrade your pillow situation, choosing from:
Thoughtfully designed for all sleeping positions, our cozy Casper pillows will provide you with ultimate support and comfort through the night. Once you lay your head down, you’ll find that these are the pillows of your dreams.
A cooling mattress protector can be a temporary fix for a less-than-perfect mattress. Create a protective layer between your body and any irritants while also experiencing cooler sleep.
Likewise, the right sheets can make all the difference. If you struggle to fall and stay asleep, heat or skin irritation may be the culprit. A new set of sheets can help you feel like you have a brand-new bed.
Buy your new mattress in the same size as your current mattress so you’ll be able to use these new accessories for years to come.
Are you looking to improve your sleep? Take advantage of our year-round sheet, mattress protector, and pillow bundles to upgrade your bedroom right away.
