Birch
Birch is made by the same folks over at Helix, but the Birch line is eco-friendly and makes some of the best organic mattresses out there. Birch is running a 25 percent off sale plus two free pillows for any mattress purchase (use the code LDW25 at checkout). It’s similar sale to what we saw Birch run around the fourth of July and Memorial Day, but still a solid deal. But if you want a better deal, furniture store Raymour & Flannigan is also running a sale and currently selling Birch’s Luxe Natural Mattress for $200 cheaper than Birch. Both have the more affordable Birch Natural for the same price, though.
Avocado
Avocado makes our favorite organic mattress, and for Labor Day the company is running an up to 20 percent off sale. The mattress that we recommend is currently 15 percent off, but only $100 off the usual price, since we often see a 10 percent discount of some kind for Avocado. This is a little better than we usually find, and the same price we’ve seen for other big deal events like Memorial Day.
Leesa
Leesa has made fantastic mattresses for years that tend to always find themselves as our top runner-up mattress recommendation. The Leesa Sapira Hybrid was our number two pick for years as a great all-around mattress, especially for the price (and that’s before the Labor Day sale!), while the new Leesa Sapira Chill recently jumped into that spot with its fantastic cooling cover. The sale isn’t great so far, but it includes two free pillows.
Casper
Casper is pretty famous in the mattress-in-a-box world. The brand recently remade its entire mattress line, and Casper’s new base mattress, The One, is now our favorite all-foam mattress. It’s already a super affordable mattress, but it’s still on sale for Labor Day for a nice little discount. We usually see it for under $900, and now you can get it for $800 instead.
Other Labor Day Mattress Sales
These sales aren’t as great as the ones above, and are often sales you can find year-round. Still, it’s a fine price we’d usually recommend buying these mattresses for, even if it’s not the best discount in town. We’ll update this guide as we get closer to Labor Day with any changes that might make these sales better (or worse!)

Brooklyn Bedding
I’m a recent convert to plank-style mattresses after trying Brooklyn Bedding’s Plank Firm Natural mattress. But we like a few different firm mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding, all of which are on sale right now for 25 percent off with the code LABORDAY25. The code should be automatically applied when you add the mattress to your cart. It’s not a great sale—this is usually the price we see these mattresses listed for. Still, usually we recommend buying them at this price.
Bear
Bear makes our favorite side sleeper mattress, the Bear Elite. Bear is running an up to 35 percent off price right now, but the $1,499 price is one we usually see it available for, so it’s not a particularly exciting sale. Still, it’s the price we recommend scoring it for over the higher price tag it does go up to from time to time.
Purple
If you’re a hot sleeper, start shopping: we think Purple makes the best cooling mattress. Purple’s site has up to $500 off the Restore line, but our recommended mattress is only $300 off—and we often see it for $300 off anyway. Still, it’s a great mattress if you want to sleep cooler at night.
