My life changed after getting better bedding. I sleep better thanks to sheets that keep me cool at night, and my back pain went away after getting a more supportive mattress. If you’re not sleeping well, I’m here to tell you it can be fixed. However, it can cost quite a bit of money, which is why mattress and bedding sales events are so exciting. A little savings can go a long way toward helping us all afford better sleep and making it easier to splurge on the improvements you really need to sleep better.
While Amazon Prime Day isn’t typically popular for bedding (you’re probably thinking of things like Wi-Fi routers and TVs, both of which are already on sale), there are a surprising number of sales on mattresses, sheets, and even pillows on this moment. . We looked at all the sales we could find that included a product we recommend and rounded up the best ones to buy during the Amazon holidays. All prices are for queen size.

Best Prime Day mattress deals

Birch
Birch is Helix’s organic sister brand and, like Helix, makes some of our favorite organic mattresses. Birch is also running a Fall Into Bed sale now through October 7, just like Helix, and it’s 20 percent off sitewide with the code FALLSALE20. However, Birch’s deal includes two free pillows with every mattress purchase, making it a better deal. However, they are the brand’s discontinued Eco-Rest pillows, rather than any of the newer options. It’s not as good a deal as we saw during Labor Day or other summer sales, but Birch’s mattresses and mattress toppers are the ones we really love.
Leesa
Leesa makes excellent mattresses – their Sapira Chill is one of the few that rivals our long-time favorites – and the Leesa Legend Chill is one of the best cooling mattresses we’ve tested. Leesa is running a fall savings sale for most of the month, with 20 percent off select mattresses (plus two free pillows) and 25 percent off bedding and foundations. All of our favorite models made the cut for sale.
casper
Casper is known for pioneering the mattress-in-a-box shopping style we know and love. The brand recently redesigned its entire line, and the new base model, the One, has quickly become one of our favorites for its breathable, soft design that still achieves a medium-firm feel. Casper also makes our favorite pillow, the Hybrid Snow. Casper has the pillow on sale on Amazon for Prime Day, but it has the mattress and a better pillow deal (20 percent off if you buy more than two, but only one pillow will be 10 percent off, same as Amazon ) on his own site, where he sells Casper Friends & Family. The sale starts today but will run until October 23.
Brooklyn Bedding
Brooklyn Bedding makes a variety of firm mattresses, including Plank and Plank Natural. We love these models, especially because they can be flipped with a firm and medium-firm side on each. Planks aren’t the only ones we like either: the Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is a good middle ground if you want something firmer and has a pillow top you can add (great for side sleepers!). three mattresses are on sale right now for 30 percent off with the code FLASH30which is a good discount.
Tempur-Pedic
Tempur-Pedic is running sales throughout October on a handful of mattress toppers, pillows, and the Tempur-Cloud mattress. We haven’t tried the Tempur-Cloud or Tempur-Pedic pillows yet, but our editors are fans of the Tempur-Adapt Topper which is 40 percent off right now with the code TOPPERS40. Our editor says the Tempur-Adapt has been great at pairing with an extra-firm mattress to make it nice and soft, and it has good cooling technology built into the layers. It will appear in our next mattress topper guide.
Best Prime Day bedding deals

Buffy
Buffy has been offering a 20 percent discount for the past few weeks on its site and plans to continue the sale through Amazon Prime Day. While it’s not a new deal, it’s still a chance to get some of our team’s favorite sleep items at a better price than usual. Our team loves their Breeze and Cloud comforters for how breathable and comfortable they are year-round, and their sheets have been top picks in our sheet guide. They’re also choosing eco-friendly materials, using things like Tencel lyocell and fabrics made from plastic bottles to make their bedding.
Brooklinen
There are so many great things to love at Brooklinen and good news: their entire Amazon store is 20 percent off. Brooklinen does a lot of sales, but they are still good prices since Brooklinen usually does sales at 15 percent off. We’re fans of many Brooklinen sheets (especially their percale, organic cottonand satin), and their towels are fantastic too. Personally, I can’t live without their super plush robe after a shower, especially when the weather gets cold. Brooklinen will also be running some flash sales over the next couple of days, so keep an eye out for those as well.
Avocado
Avocado’s fall pajama sale runs from now until mid-October, and while we like both of Avocado’s mattresses (the Avocado Green is our favorite organic mattress), sales are better in the sheets department than in the mattresses. WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson recommends Avocado’s organic cotton and linen sheet sets, but the linen is currently out of stock.
Other Prime Day mattress and bedding sales

Unfortunately, not all sales are great deals (although that doesn’t mean it’s a terrible price!). These are some of the live sales we’ve looked at so far.
Propeller
Helix has already kicked off the October sales season with its month-long Fall Into Bed sale, but for the next two days it will be running its Sale Day sale, with 25 percent off everything find on the site. he code PRIMETIME25. It’s a price we see often and recommend buying it for, but it’s not a great bargain price as you can often find it for this price. Still, Helix makes some of our favorite mattresses, so it’s a good opportunity to get them at the ideal price.
Bear
Bear, the maker of our favorite side sleeper mattress, is also running a sale during Prime Day. It’s 35 percent off sitewide. with code PRIMAplus two free pillows with the purchase of any mattress. It brings the mattress to the price we normally see it available at, although $150 worth of pillows makes that a bit of a discount.
Nola
Nolah already kicked off October with its fall sale, and now the Prime sale for the next two days has the same discount: 35 percent off everything on the site, plus two free pillows with the purchase of any mattress. The 35 percent discount brings it to the price we normally see, but the extra pillows make it a bargain. Nolah Fluffy Pillows are a pillow you can only get with the purchase of a mattress, but there is no set price to see how much added value you get. This is the price we normally recommend purchasing this mattress for.
