Memorial Day is one of the best times of year to buy a mattress. Retailers mark down premium models significantly — and unlike other sales events, the discounts tend to be real. If you've been sleeping on an old mattress and waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this is it.
Queen mattresses are the most popular size we sell, and they tend to see the deepest Memorial Day discounts. Here's what to know before you shop — plus our top picks currently on sale.
Mattress brands and retailers typically launch their biggest sales of the year around Memorial Day weekend. A few reasons this sale stands out:
That said: the best deal is still the mattress that's right for you. A discounted mattress you'll replace in 3 years is no deal at all. Use the sale to get a better mattress at a better price — not just any mattress at a cheap price.
At 60" x 80", a queen gives couples enough space to sleep comfortably without overwhelming most bedrooms. It's also the most versatile size — works in master bedrooms, guest rooms, and smaller apartments alike. Bedding and accessories are widely available at reasonable prices, unlike king-size products which carry a noticeable premium.

Best for: Back and stomach sleepers who want firm, no-nonsense support
The Spring Air Marc Firm from the Heritage Collection delivers a clean, firm sleep surface built on multi-layered foam construction. No pillow tops, no plush layers — just consistent, reliable firmness from edge to edge. It's also compatible with adjustable bases, which is a bonus if you're considering an upgrade to your bed setup.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong support for back and stomach sleepers | Too firm for side sleepers or plush preference |
| Minimal motion transfer — good for couples | Limited edge support vs. some premium models |
| Holds shape and firmness over time |
Best for: Those who want innerspring bounce with cushioned comfort
The Justice Euro Top by Diamond Mattress pairs a robust innerspring core with a euro top for extra cushioning. It's a middle-ground option — not super plush, not super firm — with better edge support than most spring mattresses in its price range. Eco-friendly materials throughout.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced comfort and support | Heavier than foam mattresses — harder to rotate |
| Strong edge support | May not be firm enough for strict back/stomach sleepers |
| Great for plush fans who still need support |
Best for: Side sleepers and pressure point relief
The TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft is Tempur-Pedic's soft-feel flagship. TEMPUR material conforms more closely to body contours than any standard foam, and the soft version is designed for sleepers who need deep pressure relief — particularly side sleepers with hip or shoulder pain. The cool-to-touch cover helps offset the heat retention that's typical of dense foam mattresses.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Exceptional body contouring and pressure relief | Higher price point |
| Best-in-class motion isolation | Some find it too soft for back support |
| Durable TEMPUR material — designed to last |
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who need firm, functional support
The Spruce Firm by Eclipse is a traditional firm innerspring mattress with a quilted top layer for minimal surface softness. It delivers excellent lumbar support and holds up well over time. If you're buying for a guest room, a teenager, or just need something solid and affordable, this is a dependable choice.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong firm support at a competitive price | Too firm for plush-preference sleepers |
| Good lumbar support | Limited cushioning |
| Minimal motion transfer |
Best for: Organic mattress buyers, hot sleepers, latex fans
The Harvest Green Essential is 100% natural latex with organic cotton and wool — no synthetic foams, no off-gassing, no harmful chemicals. Latex naturally sleeps cooler than foam, resists dust mites and bacteria, and is one of the most durable mattress materials available. If clean, natural sleep matters to you, this one's hard to beat.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Fully natural and organic — no synthetic materials | Higher cost due to natural materials |
| Sleeps cooler than foam | Firmer feel — may not suit plush/foam lovers |
| Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, durable |
A Memorial Day sale is a good time to buy — but the pressure of a time-limited deal can lead to rushed decisions. Here's how to stay smart:
Come visit us at any of our LA Mattress showrooms during Memorial Day weekend. Our team can walk you through what's on sale, what's in stock, and what'll actually work for your sleep needs.
Most Memorial Day mattress sales run from the Thursday or Friday before Memorial Day weekend through the Monday holiday. Some retailers extend them a few days after. Visit our locations or check our website for current sale details.
Generally, yes — Memorial Day is one of the calendar's genuine mattress sale events. Unlike some "always on sale" retailers, premium brands like Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster typically reserve their biggest discounts for a few specific holidays. Memorial Day is one of them.
Couples should prioritize motion isolation and edge support. The TEMPUR-ProAdapt and TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze offer excellent motion isolation. For edge support — so neither sleeper falls off the edge — look for innerspring or hybrid models with reinforced borders.
At LA Mattress, we offer a 120-Night Comfort Guarantee. If your mattress isn't working out within 120 nights, we'll work with you on an exchange. Buy with confidence.
Not necessarily. Most modern queen mattresses work on standard platform frames, slatted bases, or box springs. If you're considering an adjustable base, confirm compatibility before purchasing — most foam and spring mattresses work fine, but always check.
A well-made mattress should last 7–10 years with proper care. Using a mattress protector and rotating your mattress (if the manufacturer recommends it) extends that lifespan. High-quality materials like latex and premium foams often hold up at the longer end of that range.
