The 3 best after Christmas mattress sales

1. Nectar After Christmas Sale: 33% off sitewide, mattresses from $359 at Nectar
Best value – Nectar has extended its Black Friday sale to the end of the year. After a 33% off discount, our favorite Nectar Memory Foam mattress drops to $699 for a queen (was $999). But if it's a dedicated cooling mattress you need, the queen Nectar Premier Copper mattress is on sale for $1,205 (was $1,799). A bedding bundle isn't included here, but you can add one to your purchase for $129 (was $499). As always, Nectar provides a 1-year sleep trial plus a Forever Warranty – both industry-best perks.

2. Saatva After Christmas Sale: $400 off mattresses over $1,000 at Saatva
Exclusive offer – Click this link for $400 off any Saatva mattress priced over $1,000, which is our exclusive offer. This matches what we saw over Black Friday weekend, but MSRPs are a bit higher right now. Still, that means you can bring home a queen Saatva Classic mattress for $1,599 (was $1,999), which is one of the lowest prices we've seen for it this year. It comes in three firmness levels and is one of the best mattresses for back pain. Included are free white glove delivery, a 1-year trial, and a lifetime warranty. Note that the general Saatva sale (via this link) will be a better value if you spend over $3,000, as the discount is $450 off that way.

3. DreamCloud After Christmas Sale: 25% off + up to $599 in freebies, from $599 at DreamCloud
Affordable luxury – Here's another Black Friday sale that's carried over to after Christmas. The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid mattress is an affordable luxury mattress that's great for couples, heavy sleepers, and anyone who grapples with aches and pains. After a 25% discount, a queen drops to $899 (was $1,199). But that's not all – you'll also receive a free mattress protector, sheet set, and pillows valued at up to $599. You'll get a 1-year sleep trial, free returns, and a lifetime warranty, as well.

Should you buy a mattress after Christmas?

After Christmas mattress sales are generally a good time to buy, with several brands reintroducing or extending Black Friday sales from the previous month. However, many manufacturers increase their retail prices right after Black Friday, so discounts now may not be as strong as they were a month ago.

We're officially at the mid-point between the two best times of year to buy a mattress: Black Friday and Presidents' Day. If you need a new mattress immediately, you'll be able to find plenty of solid deals in after Christmas sales. Otherwise, if you're able to hold out until mid-February, you're likely to score even lower prices come Presidents' Day mattress sales.

Of course, if you're only looking to make your current bed more comfortable, we recommend browsing the best mattress topper deals.
