The best early Labor Day mattress sales are nearly here, and if you’ve been looking for a sign from the universe to upgrade your bed, consider this it. I’ve been a professional mattress tester for five years, so I’m plugged in to what’s going on in the mattress world (we’re constantly scoping out new additions to our best mattresses list) and can keep track of the sales that really are the ones to watch … and which ones you can skip until Cyber Monday.
While white pants are about to be out of season (if you follow that tradition), crisp white sheets are all-season, baby. We’ll have updates on those sales as well in the weeks ahead, so you can get the best bedsheets to go with your new mattress.

The Best Labor Day Mattress Sales
We’re still a ways out from the holiday weekend, but the early Labor Day mattress sales just come sooner and sooner each year. Not that we’re complaining, and I don’t think you are either! We track prices to see where the actual deals are, not just tweaked sales lingo.
Helix
It’s always a good sign when you start your Labor Day mattress deals list off strong. Not only because the deal itself is good, but also because this particular mattress is the best one we’ve tested so far. The Helix Midnight Luxe is a side sleeper’s dream, mainly because it was made especially for that purpose. That’s the whole premise of Helix, where every sleeping position and body type can find a mattress that serves it. For Labor Day, there’s an especially good deal going. Promotions usually are 20 percent off, but surprise! Use our code WIRED27 for 27 percent off this holiday weekend.

BedGear
BedGear likes to keep things cool, especially with its H Performance Series mattresses. The H4 and H6 models have different firmness levels, but both prioritize cooling and support. This is thanks to a Ver-Tex cooling cover, which feels cool upon contact, along with a hybrid design for inner circulation and mesh ventilation around the sides of the bed. And this is all not just for show—it did such a remarkable job in testing that it’s a team pick for the best cooling mattress. For Labor Day, BedGear is helping you get through the last few scorching summer months with a cool deal of $300 off its Performance mattresses.
