There’s no better time to buy a mattress than Black Friday.
It’s when sleep brands slash their prices to their lowest of the year.
Well, most of them, anyway.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is the most important figure here.
However, inflation is yielding higher MSRPs across the board.
Just be cautious of retailers advertising massive discounts without actually lowering the MSRP.
The best thing you could do to sidestep this deception is to research the price history.
Here are some of our guides to the most popular brands' regular offers.
Bundles include items you’ll actually use
Black Friday is high time for mattress bundles.
These usually include sheets, pillows, and/or a mattress protector.
The value of these extra items is often inflated.
The quality is good enough, but I’m dubious that they actually cost hundreds of dollars.
(Refer to my previous point on this list about exaggerated prices and savings.)
Buying a mattress based solely on brand reputation or price is a risk.
No mattress is one-size-fits-all.
Of course, it’s possible for you to spend more or less depending on your needs.
