Sale prices:
Twin: $199.95 (was $269)
Queen: $299.95 (was $399.95)
King: $349.95 (was $469.95)

Mattress topper type: Copper-infused memory foam
Firmness: Firm
Benefits: 90-night trial | 5-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Firming up and cooling down a warm, sagging mattress.

Best alternative: Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper in firm ($238 at Puffy)

Quick verdict: When testing this copper-infused bed topper for our ViscoSoft Active Cooling Mattress Topper review, we found this to be one of the few memory foam toppers that can add firmness and support to saggy or too-soft beds. Its thick 4" depth means its perfect for adding to older mattresses in need of a major makeover, while copper-infused foam and phase change top cover will help hot sleepers stay cool. Right now, a queen is 25% off at $299.95 (was $399.95), saving you $100. While this is an evergreen deal, we did see a 30% off deal last Black Friday (though the MSRP was lower back then). However, it's since been permanently stuck at 25% off ever since, so we can't predict whether the 30% discount will come back for this year's Black Friday.

10% off

2. Casper Comfy Topper: Save up to $33.90 at Casper

Deal Quality:★★★½

Sale prices:
Twin: 
$179.10 (was $199)
Queen: $269.10 (was $299)
King: $305.10 (was $339)
All sizes: See prices

Mattress topper type: Perforated memory foam
Firmness: Plush
Benefits: 30-night trial | 5-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Adding breathable, cloud-like comfort to a hard or warm mattress.

Best alternative: Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper in soft ($238 at Puffy)

Quick verdict: According to our Casper Comfy Mattress Topper review, this mattress topper sleeps remarkably cool for an all-foam bed topper that's not billed as cooling. This excellent temperature regulation is chalked up to its airflow-boosting perforated foam and breathable cover. This cushioning mattress topper is most definitely for side sleepers who want to add softness to a hard bed. Right now, there's a 10% off deal which is pretty standard, but there has been some times where there's no discount at all. However, we did see a 25% off sale at Casper to rival Amazon Prime Day, so we may see it return for Black Friday. 

3. Lucid Gel Memory Foam Topper: Save up to $22.50 at Lucid Mattress
15% off

3. Lucid Gel Memory Foam Topper: Save up to $22.50 at Lucid Mattress

Deal Quality: ★★★★

Sale prices:
3" Twin: 
$59.49 (was $69.99)
3" Queen: $84.99 (was $99.99)
3" King: $101.99 (was $3119.99)
All sizes: See prices 

Mattress topper type: Memory foam
Firmness: Soft
Benefits: 30-night trial | 3-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Upgrading your mattress on a tight budget

Best alternative: Casper Comfy Topper ($179.10 at Casper)

Quick verdict: The Lucid Gel Memory Foam Topper is one of the best cheap mattress toppers on the market, with our Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper review impressed with this budget topper's exquisite plushness and above-average temperature regulation for hot sleepers, side sleepers, and those on a tight budget. While this topper's low price likely means the topper won't be as durable as the toppers from more expensive brands. It's available in three different thickness levels (2", 3", or 4" - the thinner, the cheaper), with a 3" queen now $84.99 (was $99.99). This topper is rarely on sale, so this 15% discount is a good deal. However, we have seen 30% off deals on this topper around holiday sales events, so you may want to see what Black Friday has in store. Either way, you'll be getting a plush, budget-friendly mattress topper.

Mattress topper type: Memory foam
Firmness: Soft or Firm
Benefits: 101-night trial | Lifetime warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Adding either soft or firm comfort to your bed

Best alternative: Casper Comfy Topper ($179.10 at Casper)

Quick verdict: Reviewers for our Puffy Deluxe Mattress Topper review loved the removable, washable cover, lifetime warranty, and the body-hugging comfort its memory foam offers side sleepers. Its two customizable firmness options and makes this one of the best memory foam mattress toppers we’ve tested, and you can save 15% on every size at Puffy ahead of this year's Black Friday sales, with a queen priced at $245. While the discount has remained the same for a while, the MSRPs have risen recently. We initially believed they'd be lowered and a new discount put in place for the Labor Day sales, but we were wrong. Do we think it will actually happen for Black Friday? It's unlikely, so we believe it's safe to buy right now.

5. Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper: Save up to $298 at Amazon

Deal Quality:
 ★★★★★

Sale prices:

Queen: $251 (was $499)
King: $301 (was $599)
All sizesSee prices

Mattress topper type: Memory foam (officially 'Tempur Material')
Firmness: Plush
Benefits: 10-year warranty | Free shipping

Best for: Cooling plushness for side sleepers 

Best alternative: Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper ($139.95 at Lucid Mattress)

Quick verdict: While we rate the original Tempur-Adapt Topper as the best mattress topper overall, the biggest complaint in our Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Topper review was that it sleeps warm. However this cooling upgrade, on sale now at Amazon, is designed to fix that problem. Featuring a cool-to-the-touch fabric cover, this topper has been adapted to suit hot sleepers. While we usually advise shoppers to buy their topper directly from the brand instead of third party retailers as it guarantees you extras such as a sleep trial, Tempur-Pedic don't offer sleep trials, anyway, so you're not missing out on much by buying the topper directly from Amazon. Plus, Amazon's deal saves you a lot more money - a queen size is currently $519 at Tempur-Pedic, while the same size is  $251 at Amazon.

Black Friday Topper Sales 2024: FAQs

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday refers to the first Friday after Thanksgiving (which falls on the fourth Thursday of November). For 2024, Black Friday falls on 29 November, followed by Cyber Monday on the following Monday (2 December in 2024).

When do Black Friday mattress topper sales start? 

While Black Friday itself isn't until late November, a lot of sleep brands and retailers begin their Black Friday mattress topper sales in late October. These sales are often know as "early Black Friday deals" or "early-bird Black Friday deals". 

Some early Black Friday sales don't offer big savings. In fact some early deals are simply evergreen sales relabelled as an early Black Friday sale, so remember to check price history (we always try to make sure that we've included the price history of each mattress topper deal) to ensure that you're getting the best deal.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a mattress topper? 

The Black Friday sales are arguably the best time to buy a mattress topper if your goal is to buy a mattress topper at or near its historic price low, snag some freebies, and grab some bigger savings. Plus, MSRPs tend to start being lowered during the start of the Black Friday season (around Halloween).

On the other hand, mattress toppers don't tend to come with freebies, even around major sales events, as complimentary pillows or bedding bundles tend to be reserved for mattress sales only. Plus, the cheap prices Black Friday mattress topper deals offer can lead to backorders and shipping delays.

Bottom line: buy a mattress topper when you feel like you're in a position to do so. If you need one ASAP, look for evergreen deals or budget mattress toppers so you can still snag a bed topper at a lower price. However, if you can wait, then we advise you to buy a bed topper closer to Black Friday. 

Where to find good Black Friday mattress topper deals

The first place to look is at mattress brands' websites, as buying directly from a brand guarantees you access to extras, particularly sleep trials and warranties. You can also buy from third-party retailers such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, or Mattress Firm, as you can find some much cheaper prices. 

However, if you're going to buy a mattress topper from a third-party retailer, please make sure that a) you can't get the mattress topper cheaper anywhere else; (b) the brand of bed topper on sale is reputable; and (c) check user reviews and our own reviews by our panel of expert testers.
