A queen is now just $391.99 (was $1,399.99), which is a drop from the previous sale price of $549.99. It has a medium firmness designed to suit any sleeper, although at 10" high it may not be tall enough for some adults.

Mattress Firm Labor Day sale 2024: FAQs

Do I need a Mattress Firm promo code or coupon?

For the most part, no. To save during the Mattress Firm Labor Day sale, all you need to do is choose your mattress and head to the checkout, where the discount will apply automatically. 

That said, you might be able to stack a separate Mattress Firm promo code for additional savings. For instance, coupon code 'ELEVATE' adds a free Sleepy's Basic Adjustable Base with select mattress purchases. (Eligible items will be marked; you must add the base to your cart separately.)

Can I return a Mattress Firm mattress after Labor Day? 

All of the mattresses on the Mattress Firm website come with a 120-night sleep trial, but it does entail a $99.99 return fee, a $149.99 restocking fee, and a credit equivalent to the purchase price of your original mattress. 

This policy isn’t the most generous out there, as we’ve seen retailers offering 365-night trial periods with free return shipping. Nectar and DreamCloud are a couple of brands that offer this, and both are also available for sale at Mattress Firm – but with the rare exception, we'd advise you to purchase directly from those brands for the best aftercare.

On the other hand, if you purchase a Tempur-Pedic mattress from Mattress Firm, the trial period will be longer than having purchased straight from Tempur-Pedic, which only provides a 90-night trial with its beds.

As for a warranty, this can vary depending on which brand you go for. Many of the mattress brands sold at Mattress Firm handle their own warranty process, so if you’ve something goes wrong with it, you’ll need to contact the brand directly. 

If yours doesn’t fall within that category, however, then Mattress Firm will file a claim on your behalf. Mattress Firm typically offers a 10-year warranty.

When is the Mattress Firm Black Friday sale?

Perhaps you're already looking ahead to Black Friday mattress deals which tend to boast the cheapest prices of the year. Mattress Firm takes part in the annual retail event every year, offering some generous mattress discounts. Last year, it announced its Black Friday specials in late October, and we believe that'll be the case this year, too.

Are you likely to save more during the Mattress Firm Black Friday sale than you would in its Labor Day sale? That depends. In 2022 and 2023, Mattress Firm slashed up to 50% off its mattresses, which is less than the 70% max discount we're seeing during its Labor Day sale. However, MSRPs fluctuate constantly, so the gap in savings may not be as wide as it seems.
