7 Tips for Scoring the Best Black Friday Mattress Deals
There is no shortage of sales during the Black Friday mattress deals season, and we feel your pain. Black Friday has basically evolved to Black November! With mattress discounts popping up everywhere—in your mailbox, social media, and email—it can feel like a lot to sift through. Not every sale is a winner though, so it’s important to know what to watch for.
We have put together this mattress shopping guide to help you shop this Black Friday mattress sale season with confidence, and buy a mattress online or shop at a mattress store near you.
TLDR: Shopping for a mattress during Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be overwhelming, but focusing on key factors like budget, size, sleeping style, and firmness can simplify the process. Read reviews, test mattresses when possible, and take advantage of trial periods to ensure the best fit. Start early to avoid limited stock.

1. Budget Smart
A good mattress is an investment in your sleep and health, so plan your budget before you start shopping. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you decide what works for your wallet:
-
$300-$600: These are basic options, best for guest rooms or occasional use. They tend to wear out faster, with cheaper foam or minimal spring support. These mattresses can last longer if not used on a regular basis and are ideal for guest room beds.
Typically, a 3- to 5-year warranty is included. In this price range, foam mattresses are synthetic, thinner, and have a higher risk of off-gassing. Innerspring mattresses will have fewer, larger-gauge coils, which can make them feel springier and less supportive after a few years.
-
$600-$900: A step up with more durable materials, like thicker foam or solid pillow tops. You’ll usually find 10-year warranties here. Mattresses in this price range will have a higher coil count, are made of higher quality foam that is thicker and more durable, include a solid pillow-top/euro top, or upholstery.
-
$900-$1200: High-quality mattresses for everyday use. This range includes affordable memory foam and hybrids. You will find both well-known and lesser-known brand names, providing you with a variety of options. In this price range, you will often find the lowest-cost memory foam mattresses, as well as certain low-cost hybrid mattresses.
-
$1200-$1500: Entry-level luxury mattresses with upgrades like cooling gel memory foam, pocketed coils, or natural latex mattress combinations.
Upholstery may include natural fibres such as wool or cotton, and coil systems may be more complex with larger numbers of coils for more support and other technologies to extend their lifespan.
-
$1,500-$2,500: Premium models with advanced features, better materials, and longer lifespans. They are often manufactured using brand-specific proprietary materials. Companies create their own foams or coil systems, which are then used in this class of luxury mattresses.
- $2,500 and Above: High-end and eco-friendly options, sometimes with cutting-edge features or organic materials. They may include more advanced features, such as built-in electronics, or they may be produced with 100% all-natural, eco-friendly materials, such as organic/natural latex, which are more difficult to source, assemble, and transport.
2. Choose the Right Size
Picking the right mattress size isn’t just about personal preference—it depends on your room, sleeping habits, and whether you share your bed. Here’s a quick rundown:
| Size | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single/Twin mattress | 38” x 75” | 96.5 x 190.5cm | Kids, teens, single adults (XL for taller sleepers) |
| Twin XL mattress | 38” x 80” | 96.5 x 203cm | Best for taller teenagers, single adults, or anyone with limited space. |
| Full-size/double mattress | 53” x 74” | 134.5 x 190.5cm | Best for young adults, couples who prefer to cozy up, or guest rooms |
| Queen-size mattress | 59” x 80” | 152.5 x 203cm | Most couples; more space without needing a huge room |
| King-size mattress | 76” x 80” | 193 x 203cm | Taller sleepers; extra legroom |
| California king mattress | 72” x 84” | 183 x 213cm |
Ideal for taller individuals, couples or anyone who loves extra legroom. |
3. Match Your Sleeping Style
There are three main sleeping positions (side, stomach, and back). Different sleeping positions call for different mattress types:
- Side Sleepers: Soft –medium for pressure relief at shoulders/hips.
- Back Sleepers: Medium-firm for neutral spine.
- Stomach Sleepers: Firm to prevent hip sink.
-
Combination Sleepers: medium or medium-firm; responsive foams are helpful.
4. Pick the Right Firmness
Comfort levels vary from person to person, but finding the right firmness makes all the difference. Softer mattresses cushion your body, while firmer ones provide better support, especially for back pain or posture issues. Unsure? Mattressville use a firmness scale to make shopping easier.
Firm mattresses, in general, can help relieve back pain, relieve joint and muscle problems, and improve posture. If you find yourself in pain frequently, especially after waking up, it may be a good idea to invest in a firmer mattress (a mattress is not a medical product, so consult with a specialist if your pain is severe and chronic).

5. Try Before You Buy
If you can, test out mattresses in-store. If you’re shopping online, look for trial periods or return guarantees. At Mattressville, we offer a 90-Day Comfort Guarantee so you can swap your mattress if it’s not the perfect fit. Visit our Mississauga showroom or chat with our experts for advice.
The Comfort Guarantee allows for the replacement of a mattress if the buyer finds that their original purchase is the wrong comfort level for them.
If you are still unsure about which mattress to select, our mattress experts will be more than happy to assist online, over the phone, or come by and try mattresses in person at our showroom located in Mississauga at 18-1911 Dundas ST E, L4X 1M1.
6. Read Reviews
Before making a purchase, spend some time reading customer reviews and expert opinions online. Real-life experiences can provide valuable insights into a mattress’s comfort, durability, and overall performance. Some insights aren’t immediately apparent from product descriptions, such as how well a mattress holds up over time or its true comfort level.
Look for patterns in reviews—if many people mention a specific issue, it’s likely worth considering. Additionally, check trusted third-party websites to verify ratings and ensure the reviews aren’t biased or fake.
7. Start Early and Stay Alert
Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales often lead to limited stock, especially for popular mattress models. To avoid missing out, start browsing deals ahead of time and sign up for retailer newsletters or alerts to get notified of flash sales. Many brands release their discounts early, so acting quickly can give you an edge. By shopping early, you’ll also have more options to choose from and avoid the stress of last-minute decision-making.

FAQ
Are Black Friday mattress deals actually worth it?
Yes—when the sale price is real. Compare across 2–3 retailers, check reviews, and avoid “70–80% off” claims with no track record.
How do I know if a mattress will last?
Look for higher foam density (4+ lb/ft³ on memory foam), pocket coils with solid gauge, and warranties of 10+ years. Scan reviews after 1 year for sagging/softening.
Shop online or in-store?
Online = selection and trials. In-store = feel before you buy. Many shoppers test in person, then order online for delivery windows and price.
What should I avoid?
No returns/final sale, unclear delivery fees, and extreme “was” prices. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.
Best mattress for back pain?
Usually medium-firm or firm with zoned support. Hybrids balance relief and alignment. Check reviews that mention back pain relief.
