Black Friday may be a seasonal event, but sleep is year-round. Getting quality shut-eye should be a priority for all of us — it contributes to both our mental and physical health. Also, sleeping just rocks. If you haven't allowed yourself to indulge in regular midday naps, we recommend making it a part of your routine.

Because we need to sleep and do it nightly, having a good mattress is a must. It's one of the best investments you can make, so don't be shy about splurging if you're in the position to. Luckily, you might not have to splurge too much, because the Black Friday mattress sales are great this year.

We've put together a list of the best live Black Friday mattress deals from Leesa, Casper, and plenty more. (Bonus: plenty of them come with free stuff, like pillows.) We see a good night's sleep in your future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a mattress, actually. Though holiday weekends like Labor Day and Memorial Day are also big for mattress deals, Black Friday is conveniently situated right before the new year, when retailers are making a last-ditch effort to clear stock before January (when most brands drop their new mattress models).

We won't lie — mattresses are a hefty investment, but it's hard to put a correct price on comfort. While we wouldn't recommend buying the absolute cheapest mattress you can find, you can keep your cart near the $500 or $600 mark without waking up with a sore back. Premium mattresses with more innovative layering or cooling materials typically hit between $1,500 and $3,000. But that's easier to stomach when you think of it in terms of longevity: Splurging on a nice mattress now means you won't have to even think about a replacement for, like, the next decade.

Pricing also depends on size, and it goes without saying that mattresses aren't one size fits all. Consider how many people (or pets) will be sleeping in the bed, too, and how much you value factors like low motion transfer and personal space for spreading out. Obviously, the bigger the mattress, the more expensive — the prices we have listed for each Black Friday sale range from the cheapest (a twin) to the most expensive (a king). And before you ask, the difference between a king and a California king is that the latter is four inches longer but four inches narrower.
