The Best Early Black Friday Mattress Deals
Black Friday is in sight, and mattress brands are already rolling out their deals. I always recommend buying mattresses during holiday sales if you can, so if you know you’ll need to replace a mattress (or upgrade a guest bedroom before the holidays), now is a good time to shop. So far, most brands seem to be running fairly typical sales, with some throwing in freebies such as pillows or bedding. But I’ll continue to update this story as more deals crop up or if the ones below get better as Black Friday gets closer. If you’re not looking for a whole new mattress but want to refresh your existing one with a mattress topper, I’ve included some of my favorites that are on sale too.
