Memorial Day is one of the two or three best times of the year to buy a mattress — the other being Labor Day and Black Friday. Retailers run deep discounts, bundle deals, and special financing during the holiday weekend, and queen mattresses tend to be the focal point of most sales.
If you've been putting off upgrading your sleep setup, this is the weekend to act. Here's how to approach it strategically.
The timing isn't random. Memorial Day falls at the end of May — right when retailers are transitioning to new model-year inventory. To make room, they discount current stock significantly. This is especially true for queen sizes, which are the highest-volume category.
What you can typically expect:
Shop early. The best deals and the best mattresses go first. By Monday afternoon, popular models in queen are often out of stock.
Queen is the most popular mattress size — 60" x 80". It works for couples in most bedrooms and gives single sleepers plenty of room. Before you shop, get clear on what you actually need.
Motion isolation matters a lot. Memory foam and hybrids absorb movement better than traditional innerspring mattresses. If your partner is a restless sleeper, foam-dominant construction will make a real difference.
| Type | Feel | Best For | Consider If |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory Foam | Contouring, slow-response | Pressure relief, couples, side sleepers | You want motion isolation |
| Hybrid | Balanced support + comfort | Most sleeper types, hot sleepers | You want both support and softness |
| Latex | Bouncy, responsive | Eco-conscious buyers, hot sleepers | You want durability and natural materials |
| Innerspring | Firm, bouncy | Budget shoppers, stomach sleepers | You prefer a traditional feel |
These are strong options across different comfort preferences and budgets, available at our LA locations:
A well-rounded medium-feel mattress using CertiPUR-US certified foam. Excellent value, good motion isolation, and solid edge support. Works well for couples and combination sleepers who don't want to spend premium prices.
A traditional innerspring construction with a plush pillow top. If you like the classic bouncy feel with extra surface cushioning, this delivers. Good for back sleepers who want comfort without sacrificing support.
Hybrid construction with foam comfort layers and a coil support core. Good balance between pressure relief and responsiveness. Works with adjustable bases, which is a plus if you're considering that upgrade. Eco-conscious construction.

Both have value. Online is convenient for research and repeat purchases if you already know what you want. In-store is better for first-time buyers or anyone who hasn't tested that specific model before.
Queen mattresses are a significant purchase. Most people find that testing 3–5 options in person narrows down the choice quickly in a way that product pages can't replicate.
We have multiple Los Angeles locations — including Downtown LA, Studio City, and Koreatown — so you can find a showroom near you. Our staff can walk you through the options without pressure.
Most retailers start sales the Thursday or Friday before Memorial Day weekend and run through Monday. Some extend a few days after. Don't assume you'll catch the same deals on Tuesday.
During Memorial Day, expect $700–$1,200 for a solid mid-range queen (regularly $1,000–$1,600). Premium models from brands like Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, or Sealy Posturepedic will be higher but also discounted from their regular pricing.
Usually yes, especially if you need a new foundation anyway. An adjustable base alone can run $500–$1,000+, so getting one bundled in is significant savings. Make sure the base fits your frame and bed size before agreeing.
Yes. We offer white glove delivery and setup — they'll bring the mattress in, set it up, and remove your old one. Confirm timing when you purchase since delivery slots fill up during busy sale weekends.
Yes. Special 0% APR financing is typically available during the sale. Ask at checkout or call ahead to confirm current terms.
A queen (60" x 80") is 6 inches wider than a full (54" x 75"). For couples, the queen is almost always the better choice. For solo sleepers with smaller rooms, a full can work. See our full mattress collection if you're considering the smaller size.
Often yes — floor samples and clearance items are frequently discounted further during holiday sales, which can mean significant savings on high-end models. Ask specifically about floor model availability.
