Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Yes, according to Lexie Sachs, an executive director at the GH Institute. She explains that holiday weekends like Memorial Day are the best times to save on mattresses. "While mattress companies offer discounts and sales throughout the year, a holiday weekend is when you'll see the most consistent and competitive offers across brands," Sachs says.
How we tested the best mattresses
The GH Institute Textiles Lab has been extensively testing mattresses for years to provide science-backed recommendations for every type of sleeper. In addition to thoroughly researching the top mattress brands, materials and features, our in-Lab product experts and a diverse panel of consumer testers try out mattresses at home to evaluate how they perform and to inform in-depth reviews.
In recent years, we've surveyed more than 10,000 mattress owners and reviewed answers to more than 170,000 questions to help us pick the best mattresses you can buy. The responses from our panel include both quantitative scores and qualitative feedback, looking at all aspects from the ease of ordering and setup, to comfort and support, to how well the mattresses have held up over time.
