Best Extended Fourth of July Mattress Sales of 2026: Top Deals to Watch

Best Mattress for Back Arthritis: WinkBed

Courtesy WinkBed

WinkBeds is running a 30 percent off sale across its entire mattress collection. That means you can get the flagship WinkBed for $1,799 for a queen, down from its retail price of $2,570. This hybrid bed is available in four firmness levels: softer, luxury firm, firmer and plus for people with higher weight. We tested the luxury-firm model, which the company says is a medium firm (6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, with 10 being the firmest). During our assessment, Dana, a 67-year-old tester with back pain, said her back felt supported on this bed, resulting in above-average scores for both pressure relief and spinal alignment. This bed also had standout ratings for compatibility with an adjustable base, which could work well for adults who use this kind of bed frame to aid their sleep positioning for maximum comfort.

Best Mattress for Edge Support: Silk & Snow Hybrid

Courtesy Silk and Snow

The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t sacrifice support, based on our testing. It features both cushioning foam and individually wrapped coils and it performed well in our lab testing across key metrics, including bounce and edge support. It especially stood out for its edge support, sinking only 4.5 inches under the weight of a 150-pound sandbag — an above-average performance. In general, strong edges can make it safer for older adults to get in and out of bed safely.

This bed usually retails for $975 for a queen, and it’s also on our list of the best affordable mattresses. But the company’s current sale of up to $500 off mattresses — which includes mattresses, furniture, sheets and more — means you can get this mattress for the discounted price of $825. You can also score a free sleep bundle with your purchase, which includes cotton sheets, a microfiber duvet, microfiber pillows and a mattress protector.

Best Mattress for an Adjustable Base: Bear Elite Hybrid

Courtesy Bear

Based on our testing, the Bear Elite Hybrid is a strong option for older adults who want a mattress that works well with an adjustable base. It’s available in three firmness levels — soft, medium and firm — and we evaluated the medium. While some mattresses may not conform well to adjustable bases, and others may only work well if the base is made by the same company, this bed earned a stand-out score for adjustable base compatibility in our testing. For instance, when testers tried the bed in different modes, such as those for “TV” or “zero-gravity” — which raises the head and feet slightly to help ease pressure on the spine — we saw no noticeable gapping between the bed and the base or bunching of the cover. This is an exceptional result, since gaps between an adjustable base and a mattress can raise the risk of an uneven sleeping surface or falling out of bed. 

Right now, the company’s Fourth of July sale gives you 35 percent off with code JULY35. That means you can get this bed for $1,485 at any firmness level, down from the retail price of $2,284.

Best Firm Mattress: Plank Firm

Courtesy Plank

The Plank Firm is one of the firmest mattresses we’ve tested and it’s currently on sale for 25 percent off with code SUMMER25. It’s one of the few flippable mattresses we’ve reviewed, with one firm side, rated between 7 and 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and an extra-firm side, rated 10 out of 10. Both sides of this bed are firmer than most beds we’ve tested, so we generally recommend it for back and stomach sleepers seeking a truly firm bed. That’s because a mattress that feels “too firm” can put pressure on joints such as the hips, or it can cause other pain and stiffness if your body is not able to sink into its comfort layers. 

That said, if a firm bed is your preference, you may appreciate that this company’s current Fourth of July sale offers 25 percent off sitewide. That drops the price of the Plank Firm to around $999, down from the retail price of $1,332. The Plank Firm Luxe, the upgraded hybrid model of this bed, is also on sale. You can pick up that model for around $1,199, down from $1,598. 

For more information on this bed, see our Plank Firm mattress review.

Best Mattress for Side Sleepers: Nolah Evolution

Courtesy Nolah

The Nolah Evolution is a hybrid mattress with a plush pillow top that our testers praised for side sleeping. “My hips are supported, and there is no pressure building up,” said Karin, a 54-year-old side sleeper, about the luxury-firm model (about 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale). This bed earned above-average or higher scores for pressure relief and spinal alignment across all tested sleeping positions. 

With the company’s 35 percent off sale, you can snag this bed for $1,480, down from the retail price of $2,277. Plush and firm models of this bed are available for the same price.

For more information on this bed, see our Nolah Evolution mattress review. 

Best Mattress for People With Excess Weight: Titan Plus Luxe

Courtesy Titan

The Titan Plus Luxe is a solid mattress for shoppers who weigh more than 250 pounds and may benefit from extra support. This bed features a coil system that the company says supports a combined weight of 1,200 pounds. It also has responsive foam layers that earned near-perfect pressure relief scores from Bryan, a 62-year-old tester who has a higher weight.

The company’s Fourth of July mattress deal takes 25 percent off sitewide with code SUMMER25. That promotion drops the queen Titan Plus Luxe from the retail price of $1,665 to the sale price of around $1,249. 

For more information on this bed, see our Titan Plus mattress review. 

Best Latex Mattress: Birch Luxe Natural

Courtesy Birch

Featuring a top layer of organic cotton, a middle layer of natural wool, lower layers of organic latex foam and individually wrapped steel coils, this bed may appeal to eco-conscious shoppers. During our evaluation, tester Bryan commented on the Birch Luxe Natural’s high bounce — a defining characteristic of latex beds — and said this responsiveness helped him change positions more easily. He reported the edges felt supportive as well, giving this bed an admirable score on that measure. 

Typically, this mattress retails for about $2,624 for a queen. But with this company’s promotion of up to 30 percent off mattresses, you can get a queen model for around $1,968.

Tips for finding the best Fourth of July mattress sales 

Many companies are running holiday promotions now, which means there are a lot of options to sift through. So, if you’re looking for a new bed, consider our tips to help you find the best deal.

• Decide which kind of bed you want. A good place to start when shopping for Fourth of July deals is the mattress type. In general, these options include memory foam, hybrids, innersprings or latex foam. Each has different characteristics. Memory foam tends to be more contouring and provides pressure relief and motion isolation. Innerspring mattresses are bouncy and generally good for spinal support. And the best hybrid mattresses combine the cushion of foam with the support of coils. Latex foam is durable and can be synthetic or natural — and these natural options may especially appeal to eco-conscious shoppers. Note: If you have a latex allergy or sensitivity, you may decide to avoid beds with these materials. You can consult your health care provider if you have any questions about which bed type would be the best fit for you.
• Think about your sleeping position. Once you’ve decided on a mattress type, the next consideration is its firmness. Personal preferences can vary, but your sleeping position can be a useful starting point for deciding which firmness level is best for you. For instance, side sleepers often benefit from a medium-firm or softer option, around 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale or below. Back sleepers may prefer somewhere between medium (6 out of 10) and medium-firm (6.5 out of 10). Stomach sleepers may want a medium-firm to firm mattress, with firm classified as a 7 to 8 out off 10. And combination sleepers may want to consider the position they spend the most time in when choosing their desired firmness. 
• Confirm the deal is real. Some Fourth of July mattress deals look like significant savings but won’t actually save you money. That’s because some companies mark up their original prices ahead of holiday periods — and then slash prices so it looks like they’re offering a big discount. One way to check this pricing is to sign up for retailer email alerts to monitor changes over time. You can also use a price tracking tool like CamelCamelCamel, Keepa or Honey's Droplist to examine a bed’s pricing history and determine whether a sale is a good deal or just a marketing trick.
• Find opportunities to stack discounts. In some cases, you may be able to combine additional discounts with July Fourth mattress deals. In fact, many mattress companies offer coupon codes for adults ages 65 and older, first responders, health care workers, military members (including veterans) or teachers. If you’re shopping with a particular mattress company, you can review its sale terms online to see if you can stack offers for an even bigger discount.
• Review warranty terms and free trial periods. Shopping for a bed online can feel risky if you haven't tried it in person. To address this, most companies offer sleep trials that let you return a mattress for a refund if it isn't the right fit. All beds highlighted on this list include a free trial period of at least 100 nights and a limited or lifetime warranty. That said, exact trial lengths and warranty terms vary among companies. Saatva, for example, offers a 365-night trial, while Leesa offers a trial period of 120 nights. We suggest that you carefully review a company’s return policy before purchasing, and ensure that you’re comfortable with its terms. Also, be aware that some companies may charge you a restocking fee if you make a return during a trial period. 
• Check financing options. A mattress can be a big purchase, and many companies offer financing — either directly or through a third party — that lets you spread the cost into monthly payments. But keep a close eye on interest rates if you decide to finance your purchase: Some financing plans can carry rates as high as 35 percent, which would offset the savings from a holiday discount over time. When you take advantage of a deal, make sure you ask about these options.

FAQs

Is the Fourth of July a good time to buy a mattress? 

Yes, if a new mattress fits into your budget, the Fourth of July can be a good time to buy one. While the discounts may not be the deepest of the year — Memorial Day and Black Friday typically bring the largest savings — current sales are still competitive and worth considering. Nectar, DreamCloud and WinkBeds, for example, are among the companies that offer consistently strong discounts for this holiday.

How long do Fourth of July deals last?

Fourth of July deals generally start roughly two weeks before the holiday. During this period, we often see many companies change their deals as the holiday gets closer. We expect to see the most generous sales on the weekend of July Fourth, as brands typically peak then. However, that won’t be your only chance to snag a discount. Extended holiday sales typically run a few days after the sale as well. 

What are the average savings for mattress sales on the Fourth of July? 

In general, July Fourth savings for beds range from 25 to 30 percent off. However, some companies may offer just 15 percent off, while others may run promotions of up to 66 percent off. With respect to the mattress and sleep accessory deals on this list, the average discount is about 29 percent. Some companies also include free pillows or bedding with mattress purchases, which may add value for older adults who want to make additional upgrades.
