I’m a sleep coach — the mattress I’d buy my family is $400 off in Labor Day sales

The Saatva Classic at Saatva
Was from: $1,395
Now from: $995
Saving: $400 off at Saatva

Mattress summary: I rate the Saatva Classic as the best hybrid mattress in the world for all sleepers who have the budget to buy a luxury, handcrafted innerspring hybrid. The Classic is made from premium, non-toxic and fiberglass-free materials and whilst it isn’t fully organic, it does use breathable organic materials in the cover. It’s more customizable than most traditional mattresses too as you can buy it in three different firmness levels and two heights (don’t pick the 14.5” version if you have an adjustable bed). It's also stacked with mattress tech to help you achieve a better quality of sleep and physical comfort in bed. For me, the standout feature is the brand’s own Lumbar Zone Tech to keep your spine in healthy alignment to reduce back pain while sleeping. I also love the opulent 3” Euro pillow top, which gives the Saatva Classic a luxury hotel mattress feel.

Price history: Every month there is a Saatva mattress sale to save you money on the brand’s luxury beds. The standard discount on a Saatva Classic is up to $300 off, so this $400 discount for Labor Day is bigger than average. I last saw it during Memorial Day and before that Black Friday, and I predict it will disappear fast once Labor Day wraps up. If you want to buy the Saatva Classic, I’d recommend buying now as the next time you’ll get a queen size for $1,695 (MSRP $2,095) is probably Black Friday.

Benefits: Year’s trial | Lifetime warranty | Free mattress installation and old bed removal (returns cost $99)

1. The DreamCloud Mattress: was from $1,013 now $419 at DreamCloud
The DreamCloud is this year’s best mattress in a box and also excellent value for money at $665 (was $1,483) for a queen. It goes toe-to-toe with Saatva on most benefits too: a lifetime warranty and a year’s sleep trial. Saatva beats it on shipping – DreamCloud offers free standard shipping compared to Saatva’s free White Glove Delivery – but Saatva charges a $99 returns fee whereas DreamCloud returns are free. Tom’s Guide’s DreamCloud mattress review contains our in-depth look and why it’s a great choice for combi sleepers with back pain.

2. Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress: was from $1,349 now $944 at Leesa
If you love the sound of the Saatva Classic but want a hybrid mattress with better motion isolation (the Classic’s only small weak spot), then I recommend the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. Like the Saatva, this is a good-looking mattress with plenty of support to keep your spine in healthy alignment while you sleep. Testers for Tom’s Guide Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress review did report that it holds onto more heat than the Saatva, and that the edge support wasn’t as good, but otherwise it’s comfy and a great mattress for side sleepers in particular. You’ll have 100 nights to trial it at home, with a 10-year warranty and free shipping.

3. The WinkBed: was from $1,149 now $849 at WinkBeds
Are you considering the Saatva Classic because you have aches and pains that get worse when you lie down on your mattress? Then a good alternative would be The WinkBed, another customizable hybrid mattress available in four firmness levels, with the WinkBed Plus being a good mattress for heavy people. The WinkBed is always $300 off so there’s no urgency to this sale, but it is a good discount on a well-made luxury bed that suits a wide range of sleepers. The integrated back pain relief system also makes it a contender to the Saatva RX, this year’s best mattress for back pain.
