All the best Black Friday mattress deals LIVE: tracked and vetted by a certified sleep coach

Tuft & Needle’s largest-ever Black Friday sale cuts 35% off its cooling hybrid mattress for side sleepers

The Tuft & Needle Black Friday sale features 35% off all mattresses. This is the largest percent-off discount I’ve ever seen from T&N. (It usually maxes out at 30%.)

If you’re looking for a side-sleeper-friendly hybrid that’s easy on the joints, I recommend the Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mint Mattress, now $1,296.75 for a queen. Regularly $1,995, that’s the lowest price I’ve tracked for it.

During our Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress review, my fellow testers and I agreed that this bed is super comfy for side sleeping, as it cradled our spines and alleviated pressure buildup in our shoulders, knees, and hips. (Our tester with a shoulder injury found much relief on this mattress.)

As the name suggests, the Mint Hybrid is a cooling model. In addition to its overall comfort, our testing panel most enjoyed how cool and comfortable it slept. I didn’t overheat on it once while sleeping on it during a hot summer.

Tuft & Needle sales are rare, and there’s no telling whether T&N will bring this 35% discount back any time soon. (I’ll hold out hope for Presidents’ Day 2026, but I won’t make any promises!) I’d say jump on this offer while you can.

Alison here — Happy Black Friday Eve!

Hey everyone! This is mattress tester and contributing deal hunter Alison Barretta. I’m here enjoying a nice slice of pumpkin pie as I scour the web for tonight’s must-see Black Friday mattress deals. I can’t think of a better way to close out my Thanksgiving Day. (Really!) Stay tuned…

OK, I’m signing off now folks to go and do some of my own Black Friday shopping, but stay tuned for more mattress deals chat…

Professional mattress tester and seasoned deals hunter Alison Barretta is on her way to keep you company this Thanksgiving eve, and to talk you through more of this year’s top holiday sales.

Back soon!

I’m so excited to let you know that this evening we’ve launched our brand-new Black Friday Sleep Concierge service – a free and fast way to get personalized mattress, pillow and bedding recommendations straight from me and my team.

All you have to do is answer six simple questions, email us with your answers, and one of the Sleep Concierge crew will get back to you with product recommendations tailored specifically to your sleep needs and budget.

If you stayed over in my guest room, you’d be sleeping on the DreamCloud Classic. This is one of my all-time favorite hybrid mattresses in a box and a huge hit with my family and friends.

My team and I recently retested the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid from cover to base and it performed incredibly well overall, earning a 4-star rating in our DreamCloud mattress review.

The DreamCloud has great edge support, temperature control, and pressure relief, and even though it was outgunned during our motion isolation lab tests, in real life our testers said it isolates motion well enough for a peaceful night’s sleep.

It won’t provide the same luxury sleep experience as the Saatva Classic – very few mattresses do – but it will give you a big dollop of comfort and support for over $1,000 less.

As great as the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is for most people, I did have two minor issues with it: firstly, I slept warm on it and spent a good portion of my nights kicking off the covers to cool down. I am a chronic hot sleeper, so the Saatva Classic and the Bear Elite Hybrid – our two top cooling mattresses – are better for me.

My other minor niggle was hip and thigh pressure. I definitely felt some when lying on my side, but Lauren Jefferies, our main tester for the DreamCloud, didn’t.

I have residual hip and lower back pain from pregnancy, and the only mattress I truly sleep comfortably on is the Saatva (read my Saatva Classic mattress review to learn why).

Ultimately, the DreamCloud is a lot of mattress for the money – or to use my early phrase, it delivers a lot of bang for your buck. It’s $699 for a queen in the Black Friday sale, and the deal is better than the one we see most months because it comes with up to $599 of free bedding.

Fast forward to the present day and the budget mattress market is remarkably different – lots of innovation from the luxury mattress market has trickled down to cheaper beds.

Never has this been more obvious than with the Siena Signature, an all-foam mattress that outperformed many premium rivals when we recently retested all the top options in our best mattress of the year guide.

The Siena excelled at motion isolation, even beating our number one pick the Saatva Classic, and it scored well in edge support and temperature regulation too.

It’s exceptional value for money at $244 for a queen size at Amazon, especially considering it comes with a 180-night trial and a 10-year warranty. You just don’t see those benefits often with a budget mattress.

We don’t recommend the Siena Signature to side sleepers – it’s way too firm for that – but we do recommend it to stomach and back sleepers, and to couples who love hard beds. One of the best value mattresses you’ll find on sale today.

In fact, we launched a brand-new buyer’s guide on that very topic today: Stretch your money further with the best budget mattresses, pillows, and bedding sets — deals from $16

Have a scroll through the above, and I’ll be back soon with some of my absolute fave budget-friendly Black Friday mattress deals.

Goodbye from me — but don’t go anywhere!

Right, that’s me done for the day. I hope you’ve enjoyed the deals I’ve brought you.

But don’t go anywhere!

The Tom’s Guide Sleep Team are still hard at work finding the best mattress deals as they drop, and they’ll be with you soon with more shopping advice, sleep tips and the all-important sales.

Happy shopping!

My biggest piece of Black Friday shopping advice…

After spending the day finding the best Black Friday mattress deals, I’ve come to realize something: Tonight is the night.

All of the best deals say ‘ending tomorrow’ and I’m already seeing low stock alerts on multiple websites.

By shopping tonight, you can beat the rush and avoid missing out on the right mattress for you as more and more mattresses sell out.

If you are looking to buy a new mattress tonight, keep these things in mind:

– Don’t shop based only on price: A mattress can last up to 25 years, so you want it to be both comfortable and supportive for your sleep style. Don’t just choose the bed with the best deal.

– Shop from a reputable brand: A sleep trial is essential for mattresses, as it takes around 30 days to ‘break in’ a bed and find out if it’s right for you. Shopping from a reputable brand means you’ll get a decent sleep trial, warranty and good customer service.

– Read reviews: It’s always hard to know how a mattress will feel, after all it is subjective. But reading lots of reviews can help you gain an understanding of whether the mattress is for you or not. Start by checking out our mattress reviews.

Mouth tape: yea or nay?

More and more people are trying mouth tape as a way to ‘hack’ their sleep. But can taping your mouth shut at night really help you fall asleep fast and sleep through the night?

My team and I put mouth taping to the test to find out.

Our one word of advice? Don’t buy into it! As well as making us too claustrophobic and anxious to fall asleep (and waking us up in the night), it’s dangerous.

If you have any kind of congestion, you risk not being able to breathe properly throughout the night. Not to mention the risk of vomiting with your mouth taped shut.

If you want to encourage nose breathing throughout the night and stop mouth breathing, I’d suggest trying nasal strips instead. These don’t block any airways, but instead gently pull the nasal passages open to increase airflow.

My personal favorites are the Breathe Right Extra Strength Nasal Strips which are down to $14.69 at Amazon (was $20.99).

Lower than last Black Friday!

I’ve found an epic mattress deal, and it beats the Black Friday 2024 discount we saw. Enter:

The Stearns & Foster Estate mattress for $300 off + $300 Visa Gift Card

The Stearns & Foster Estate is one of the best luxury mattresses you can buy, so any discount is welcome. Made up of Tempur-Indulge memory foam and IntelliCoil innersprings, it’s a hybrid mattress that comes in three different firmness feels and an optional pillow top layer.

That means there’s an option that’ll suit just about any sleep style. Read our Stearns & Foster Estate mattress review to find out more.

With $300 off, you can get a queen for $1,699 (was $1,999). Plus you’ll get free white glove delivery, a 90-night sleep trial, a 10-year warranty AND a $300 Visa gift card. That’s a sweet deal. And it ends tomorrow.

3 herbal teas to drink 3 hours before bed (yes, that’s when you should take your last sip)

The best teas to drink for better sleep are herbal, zero-caffeine teas. Pretty much all herbal teas are sleep inducing, but here are the three top teas to tipple tonight:

Tempur-Pedic’s BOGO sale on pillows returns!

It’s here! Tempur-Pedic make some of the best pillows you can buy online, including the Tempur Cloud Pillow which we rate as the best choice for stomach sleepers.

And rarely, we get this buy one get one free deal on all of the different Tempur-Pedic pillows. It’s launched today, but we expect it to end tomorrow. Our advice? Act quick! Here’s what you need to know about the top 3 choices:

The Black Friday mattress deals mean there are plenty of cheap mattresses at even lower prices, especially at third-party retailers like Amazon and Wayfair.

While you can’t expect the same kind of durability more mid-range mattresses have, these cheaper options will offer more than enough comfort and support for the average sleeper. They’re also great for guest rooms.

Here are three top king mattress deals under $300 worth considering this Black Friday:

1. ZINUS 12″ king Green Tea Memory Foam mattress for $269 at Amazon
2. EGOHOME 12″ king Cooling Memory Foam mattress for $229.49 at Amazon
3. Novilla 12″ king Memory Foam Mattress for $263.48 at Amazon

My top tips to deal with someone who snores…

Now, I know it’s not his fault… but my husband snores EVERY NIGHT. And it makes falling asleep and staying asleep particularly difficult.

I’ve figured out the three most important things to cope. Here they are:

Breathe Right Nasal Strips: I underestimated just how effective these strips could be. But when my husband and I tried them, it made a huge difference. By gently pulling the nostrils apart, they open the airways, making nose breathing easier (and therefore reducing snoring). They’re particularly handy to have around during cold and flu season. The Breathe Right Extra Strength Nasal Strips are 30% off at Amazon, bringing the price down to $14.69.

Sleep earplugs: It’s rare I go to bed without wearing earplugs. However, the wrong pair can fall out or cause me to wake up in pain. I recommend the Alpine Silence Earplugs (currently $12.45 at Amazon) for those shopping on a budget. But, if you’re ready to invest in a solid pair of sleep earbuds, the Soundcore Sleep A30s are 22% off at Amazon, which brings them down to $179.99 (was $229.99).

The right pillow: An unsupportive pillow can cause the neck and head to be at funny angles, sometimes exacerbating snoring. Check out our guide to the best pillows of the year. The Coop Original Adjustable Pillow is down to $62.90 at Amazon (was $85) and we recommend it for most sleepers.

Check out our new guide…

Ruth Jones, our Senior Sleep Writer, has put together a fantastic guide on how to stretch your money further with the best budget mattresses, pillows, and bedding sets.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to get better sleep. In fact, some of the deals Ruth found start from just $17, like the Utopia Bedding Queen Sheet Set for $17.49 at Amazon. It includes two pillow cases, one flat sheet and one fitted sheet, so under $20 is fantastic value.

Check out our Utopia Bedding Sheet Set review to see if it’s the right choice for you.

Big deal alert!

We’re off to a strong start shoppers! A top hybrid mattress, the Amerisleep AS3, has dropped by a huge $700.

Previously, we’ve seen $600 off, but I think $700 off is the biggest discount so far. Here’s who should consider it:

Lauren Jeffries, Sleep Features Editor

Good morning and happy Thanksgiving! I’m Lauren Jeffries, the Sleep Features Editor, and I’ll be taking over from Nicola for the next few hours.

I can’t believe we’re now one day away from Black Friday. I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling with deals fatigue — with so many discounts and sales, it’s a struggle to know what’s actually a good Black Friday deal.

But that’s what I’m here for. I’m going to cut through the noise for you and find the real sales.

I’m also going to be sharing the top sleep products that have actually helped me fall asleep fast and sleep through the night over the past year. After all, I’ve spent my time testing over 30+ sleep products, so I know what’s actually worth your money!

I’m going to take a look at today’s sales, and I’ll be back with some top deals. Don’t go anywhere!

Taking a quick break, back shortly!

Right, my fingers are tired from scouring the ‘net for savings that are actually worth buying today. Before I take a brief break, I’ll leave you with this little nugget:

The Hatch Restore 3 has dropped to its lowest ever price at Amazon. Shopping at Amazon is cheaper than buying direct from Hatch, with the price falling to $134 from $169.99. Run, don’t walk!
