Tom's Guide published a roundup of what it calls the 7 best Labor Day mattress sales to shop this weekend, listing discounts on nine mattresses. According to that list, prices include the Saatva Classic from $1,049 (was $1,449), the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress from $173, the Helix Midnight Luxe from $1,119 (was $1,492), the DreamCloud Classic from $429 (was $1,346), the Bear Elite Hybrid from $1,298 (was $1,998.80) with code TOMS40, the Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex Pro from $652 (was $932), a Tempur-Pedic Tempur Cloud and smart base bundle from $1,718.40 (was $2,598), the Avocado Green from $1,279 (was $1,599), and the Purple Plus from $1,280 (was $1,599).
Separately, Tom's Guide sleep editor Nicola named the Helix Midnight Luxe her top pick of the Labor Day deals, describing 25% off at Helix that brings a queen down to $1,874 from $2,498.66 — a different price than listed in the roundup. She recommends it especially for side sleepers, citing its plush pillow top and zoned lumbar support, which she says relieves lower back pain and hip and shoulder pressure. The outlet's lab testing gave the mattress 4.5/5 for pressure relief and 4/5 for temperature regulation, with reliable edge support and excellent motion isolation; buyers can add GlacioTex or GlacioTex-plus-CoolForce cooling upgrades for hot sleepers.
A separate Tom's Guide article championed the Saatva Classic as "the only hotel-style hybrid I'd buy," citing $400 off that brings a queen to $1,829 (down from $2,229) — again a different figure than the roundup's listing. That review notes the mattress earned full marks in testing, comes in three firmness levels (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm), and is built from 13-gauge tempered steel coils, high-density foams, a plant-based flame barrier, and organic cotton with an antimicrobial treatment. It is not recommended for sleepers over 300 lbs, for whom the WinkBed Plus is suggested instead. Like other Saatva models, it includes a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty, and free white-glove delivery valued at $199 or more elsewhere.
For budget shoppers, another Tom's Guide writer recommended Brooklyn Bedding's all-foam CopperFlex Essential Mattress, now $489.30 for a 10-inch queen (was $699) after a 30% discount, calling it the brand's cheapest bed and a strong option for side sleepers. The mattress is available in five heights — 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 inches — with the 10-inch version described as medium-firm and suited to most adult sleepers; a 6-inch queen costs $366.80 and is recommended mainly for temporary use such as dorm rooms, while taller versions suit plus-sized adults, couples, and side sleepers wanting more cushioning.
Tom's Guide also compared two Saatva latex models on sale for $400 off: the Latex Hybrid, starting at $1,749 (queen at $2,249, down from $2,649), and the all-latex Zenhaven, starting at $2,099 (queen at $3,149, down from $3,549). Both come with a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty. The reviewer found the hybrid version offers better motion isolation and edge support along with slightly more breathability due to its coil layer, while the dual-sided Zenhaven lets sleepers choose between a luxury plush (6.5/10 firmness) and gentle firm (8/10) side and suits back and stomach sleepers. Separately, for dorm rooms, Tom's Guide highlighted mattress topper deals including the CopperWELL Mattress Topper, its top cooling pick, now $144 for a twin XL (was $179.99), and the cheaper Linenspa Gel Memory Foam Topper at $36.55 in a twin XL with a promo code.
