Presidents’ Day Is one of the biggest sleep-centered holidays of the year. Who knows what it is about February’s sole long weekend that makes it so perfect to put mattresses and sleep gear on sale (the darkness of winter? impending desire to refresh your bedroom for spring?), but it’s a great time to buy a new mattress, pillows, and sheets. Of course, not all sales are made equal, and mattress sales are especially hard to navigate, since there’s often some kind of sale running. How can you be sure this sale is one you really need to jump on?

We’re how. Here at WIRED, we track prices all year long to flag the best sales—along with testing mattresses, mattress toppers, pillows, and sheets to tell you what’s even worth buying in the first place. It might sound like we’re sleeping on the job, but it’s all in the name of you getting your best night’s sleep ever. Note that all prices below are for queen sizes.

Here are all the deals worth shopping as Presidents’ Day sales go live all over the internet. Curious about other February sales? Don’t miss our guide to the Best Valentine’s Day Deals.

Bear’s early Presidents’ Day sale is one of the better early sales to jump on. While the site is often 30 percent off, you can get 35 percent off right now with the code PRESDAY. We’re big fans of the Bear Elite Hybrid, which is a top pick in our guide to side-sleeper mattresses. The firmest option is soon to be a pick in our guide to mattresses for back pain too. You’ll also get two free pillows with your purchase; that’s not uncommon, but it’s still a nice perk.

• Our favorite side-sleeper mattress: Bear Elite Hybrid for $1,499 ($115 Off)

Leesa makes several mattresses we like, with our favorite being the Sapira Chill Hybrid—it’s the runner-up pick in our Best Mattresses guide. Leesa’s early-access Presidents’ Day sale has 25 percent off this and several other mattresses (no code needed), including one of our favorite cooling mattresses, and any mattress purchase will include two free pillows. It tops the usual 20 percent discount you can find on Leesa, so it’s a good time to shop. The savings shown below are off the usual discounted price.

• A great choice for problem sleepers: Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid Mattress for $1,619 ($108 Off)
• A great cooling mattress: Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid Mattress for $2,099 ($140 Off)

Saatva’s early Presidents’ Day sale has gotten started and includes the wide range of mattresses we love, especially if you’re struggling with back pain or need extra support. But the best price you can find is actually with our exclusive links below, which will apply a $400 coupon off the base price of your mattress of choice. This link will apply the coupon in general to Saatva’s site, while our links below will apply it to the specified mattress. Saatva is usually running some kind of discount on its mattresses, but this is a better price than you’ll find on Saatva’s site without our coupon. It’s also worth noting that the Rx mattress increased in price in 2025, so this discount is off the new base price.

• Fantastic for pressure pain: Saatva Rx for $2,999 ($400 Off)
• A great option for lumbar support: Saatva Classic for $1,799 ($400 Off)
• An adjustable splurge: Saatva Solaire for $4,199 ($400 Off)

Bedgear’s early Presidents’ Day sale started extra early, and it includes a range of mattresses and other sleep accessories like pillows and sheets (check out our guide to those sales below). Not all mattresses have the same great discount, though—our favorite cheap cooling mattress, the S Performance, is available for the price we usually find it at. But the modular M3 Performance, our favorite cooling mattress for couples, has a nice $300 discount right now.

• Best cooling mattress for couples: Bedgear Split Head M3 Performance Mattress for $1,799 ($300 Off)
• Best cheap cooling mattress: Bedgear S Performance Mattress (Medium Firm) for $999

Nolah’s Presidents’ Day sale isn’t anything too crazy—we often see the Evolution 15 for the current 35 percent off discount, though it’s still a good price that’s worth shopping if you want a mattress that’s firm but still comfortable for side sleepers. But what’s interesting is that Nolah is also offering $150 off the BedJet 3 (8/10, WIRED Reviews) with a mattress purchase. The BedJet is essentially a fan with a hose to pump air underneath your sheets, helping to maintain a specific temperature (air circulation is key in cooling sheets, after all). It’s an intriguing offer, and if you wanted to buy a BedJet anyway (and need a new mattress), you can get both at once with this sale. Nolah also has its mattress topper on sale for its usual ticket price, but you won’t get the BedJet discount.

• Great firm mattress for side sleepers: Nolah Evolution 15 for $1,624
• For that new mattress feel: Nolah Mattress Topper for $292

Avocado’s early Presidents’ Day sale is currently underway, with up to 20 percent off the entire site. We often see a 10 percent or so discount on mattresses, so this is a better sale than you’ll usually find on Avocado’s organic mattresses. Mattress toppers are on sale too for 10 percent off, which aren’t often on sale like mattresses are. There are sales on pillows and bedding, too, which you can check out in our section below about the best bedding deals.

• A great organic mattress: Avocado Green Mattress for $1,699 ($150 Off)
• The best latex mattress topper: Avocado Eco Organic Mattress Topper for $269 ($30 Off)

Along with the rest of Saatva’s lineup, its organic offering, the Zenhaven, is on sale right now. It’s our favorite flippable organic mattress, with both a plush and firm side you can choose between, and now you can score it for a true sale price. It’s the best early sale right now of Saatva’s mattresses without our exclusive coupon codes, but you’ll get an even better discount with our code below.

• The best flippable organic mattress: Saatva Zenhaven for $2,999 ($400 off)

Helix’s Early Access Presidents’ Sale is underway, and while it’s not a bad sale—you’ll get 20 percent off sitewide with the code PRES20 and two free pillows with a mattress purchase—you can find similar prices most of the year. Still, these are fantastic mattresses, and this is the price we’d usually recommend buying them for. It’s just not a special sale deal.

• Our favorite overall mattress: Helix Midnight Luxe for $1,899
• Our favorite mattress for back pain: Helix Twilight Luxe with ErgoAlign Layer for $2,098
• A great hybrid mattress topper: Helix GlacioTex Premium Mattress Topper for $399

Birch is the organic sister brand to Helix, so it’s no surprise we love the brand’s mattresses as much as we love Helix’s. Birch makes both our absolute favorite organic mattress and the best mattress topper we’ve tested, so it’s always worth shopping at Birch, but especially now with the Early Access Presidents’ Day Sale underway. The code PRES20 should be automatically applied at checkout to get the 20 percent discount, though it’s a price we often see Birch for, so it’s not the most exciting early deal.

• The best organic mattress: Birch Luxe Natural Mattress for $2,099
• A great organic option for side sleepers: Birch Natural Mattress for $1,499
• The best mattress topper: Birch Organic Plush Top Mattress Topper for $399

Brooklyn Bedding’s Sale has kicked off with 25 percent off the site, which is a good price, but one you can usually find its mattresses for—particularly the well-priced, extra firm Plank mattress. The code PRESDAY25 should apply automatically at checkout. While it’s not a great sale, it’s still a good price we recommend buying the Plank for anyway.

• Our favorite firm mattress: Plank Firm for $999

Avocado’s sale isn’t just for its mattresses and toppers. You’ll find a small discount on our favorite down pillow from Avocado, and on Avocado’s organic sheets that we’ve tested and recommend.

• The best down pillow: Avocado Down Pillow for $98 ($11 Off)
• Luxuriously silky organic cotton sheets: Avocado Organic Cotton Sheets for $206 ($23 off)
• Heavy, organic linen sheets on sale: Avocado Natural Linen Sheets for $449 ($50 off)

We’ve got a new guide in the works to flannel sheets, and so far the shining star of testing is the flannel sheet set from Land’s End. The “comfy super soft” part of the name turns out to not be overkill, as these sheets nail the fluffy feel of full cotton without being too heavy or hot to sleep on all night long.

• Insanely soft flannel that won’t overheat: Lands End Comfy Super Soft Flannel Sheet Set for $108 ($27 Off)

Buffy’s sale is one we see a lot, but Buffy’s bedding is so good it still deserves to be mentioned. The brand got its name for its fantastically airy comforters (they’re named Cloud and Breeze for a reason) and Buffy’s newest offering, percale cotton sheets, are some of the softest cotton sheets we’ve tried since they use Supima cotton. It’s always a good time of year to add some Buffy bedding to your bedroom.

• A fantastic cooling comforter: Buffy Cloud Comforter for $156
• Some of the softest (but still breathable) cotton sheets ever: Buffy Supima Cotton Sheet Set for $156
• Silky-soft eucalyptus-based sheets: Buffy Breeze Sheet Set for $156
