AARP Hearing Center
If you’re shopping for a new bed but aren’t sure when you should buy, now might be the time. Presidents’ Day is one of the biggest mattress holidays of the year, enabling you to score hundreds of dollars off your next bed. As Presidents’ Day approaches, we’re seeing big discounts across popular brands like Nectar, Saatva and Helix.
Below, we rounded up the top deals to make it easy for you. You'll also see a list of the best discounts for mattress toppers, sheets, pillows and other accessories you may need for a better night's sleep. Every model we feature is based on our experience testing mattresses for AARP Smart Picks™. We performed lab tests ourselves and assembled a group of adults ages 50 and older to test and rate the mattresses for key performance metrics like support, pressure relief and motion isolation. These sales may change, so make sure to check back to see the latest deals.

Best Mattress for Neck Pain: Helix Midnight Luxe
For Presidents’ Day, Helix is offering an exclusive AARP sale of 27 percent off when you use the code AARP27. That will drop the Helix Midnight Luxe from $2,398 to $1,751 for a queen mattress — almost $650 in savings. The Helix Midnight Luxe is a comfortable bed with medium firmness, making it a top choice for most sleepers. During our testing, it scored particularly high in pressure relief, which is great for neck pain. Tester Allison, a 51-year-old side sleeper, said she didn’t feel any pressure on her neck or hips.
If you’re looking for a more affordable Helix model, the basic Midnight (not Luxe) costs around just $1,000 with this Presidents’ Day sale, but it has no pillow top, one less layer of memory foam and less lumbar support than the Luxe.
Best Mattress for Back Pain: Saatva Classic
If you have back pain or sciatica, the Saatva Classic could be a good fit. Its zoned support construction is firmer across the center-third of the mattress, which helps support your lower back. For Presidents’ Day, Saatva is offering $625 off the mattress. The bed, which is available in three firmness levels (plush soft, luxury firm and firm), performed well in our testing, especially in our spinal alignment assessment. One tester said, “Overall, it solved a lot of my pain issues.”
For more information, see our Saatva mattress review.
Best Memory Foam Mattress: Nectar Premier Memory Foam
The Nectar Premier Memory Foam has the slow-moving, dense memory foam that cradles joints and eases pressure. Right now, you can save 50 percent on this bed, as well as any mattress in Nectar’s collection. The foam layers of the Nectar Premier contour to your body, providing ample pressure relief while still supporting your spine. Memory foam mattresses are notorious for having weak edges, but the Nectar Premier earned an impressive 4 out of 5 rating in our edge support test, showing this bed’s perimeter is strong and stable.
Nectar is also offering up to 66 percent off the company’s sleep bundles set when you buy a mattress. This bundle includes a mattress protector, two cooling pillows and a sheet set. It’s usually $599, but you can snag it for $179 during the sale.
