We've tested a lot of mattresses here at Business Insider Reviews, so we've developed some clear favorite brands over the years. For Presidents Day, many of them are holding sales, making now a good time to buy a bed.
Some of my favorite Presidents Day sales that kicked off this week include Leesa's 30% off sitewide sale, bringing the top pick in our guide to the best mattresses down to a great low price. You can also save 40% off sitewide at Bear with our exclusive code INSIDER40, which is about 10-15% better than we see during the rest of the year.
In general, Presidents Day is a great time to buy a mattress because of the low prices and the wide selection available. While bed brands are always holding sales, it's not until occasions like this that they drop to slightly better prices. You won't necessarily find the all-time lows of Black Friday, but you can still save a bit more than you would otherwise.
I've gathered six of my favorite Presidents Day sales below, including Leesa, Bear, Birch, Helix, Brooklyn Bedding, and Nolah. Keep scrolling to find the best deals, and keep tabs on this story as Presidents Day comes closer.

Helix Presidents Day deals
Although everyone can save 25% off during Helix's Presidents Day sale, Insider readers can get a little extra discount with the code INSIDER27, which knocks off 27% at checkout. The brand makes our top pick for back sleepers, the Dusk Luxe Mattress.
The medium-firm Helix Dusk Luxe is tailor-made for back and stomach sleepers. The hybrid sleeps exceptionally cool and provides excellent support, but edge support was lacking.
- Excellent comfort and support for back sleepers
- Sleeps cool
- Ergo-Align layer (add-on) provides extra support for those with a history of back pain
- Likely too firm for strict side sleepers
- Poor edge support
- Minimal showroom availability
This mattress is soft and plush and best suited for back and stomach sleepers. It also features Helix Dynamic Foam to contour to your body no matter how it moves.
With medium-firm support and pressure point relief, the Midnight Mattress is best for side sleepers or sleepers who toss and turn.
