Best Queen Mattresses to Buy on Memorial Day Sale

Memorial Day is one of the best times of year to buy a mattress. Retailers mark down premium models significantly — and unlike other sales events, the discounts tend to be real. If you've been sleeping on an old mattress and waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this is it.

Queen mattresses are the most popular size we sell, and they tend to see the deepest Memorial Day discounts. Here's what to know before you shop — plus our top picks currently on sale.

02Why Memorial Day Is a Great Time to Buy a Mattress

Mattress brands and retailers typically launch their biggest sales of the year around Memorial Day weekend. A few reasons this sale stands out:

  • Real discounts on premium models — not just entry-level clearance items
  • New model years arrive in summer, so current inventory often gets meaningfully reduced
  • Extended weekend gives you time to visit showrooms and actually test what you're buying
  • Financing promotions often improve around this time

That said: the best deal is still the mattress that's right for you. A discounted mattress you'll replace in 3 years is no deal at all. Use the sale to get a better mattress at a better price — not just any mattress at a cheap price.

03Quick Recap: Why Queen Mattresses Make Sense

At 60" x 80", a queen gives couples enough space to sleep comfortably without overwhelming most bedrooms. It's also the most versatile size — works in master bedrooms, guest rooms, and smaller apartments alike. Bedding and accessories are widely available at reasonable prices, unlike king-size products which carry a noticeable premium.

04Top Queen Mattresses on Sale This Memorial Day

Spring Air Marc Firm — Heritage Collection

Best for: Back and stomach sleepers who want firm, no-nonsense support

The Spring Air Marc Firm from the Heritage Collection delivers a clean, firm sleep surface built on multi-layered foam construction. No pillow tops, no plush layers — just consistent, reliable firmness from edge to edge. It's also compatible with adjustable bases, which is a bonus if you're considering an upgrade to your bed setup.

Pros Cons
Strong support for back and stomach sleepers Too firm for side sleepers or plush preference
Minimal motion transfer — good for couples Limited edge support vs. some premium models
Holds shape and firmness over time

Diamond Mattress Justice Euro Top Innerspring

Best for: Those who want innerspring bounce with cushioned comfort

The Justice Euro Top by Diamond Mattress pairs a robust innerspring core with a euro top for extra cushioning. It's a middle-ground option — not super plush, not super firm — with better edge support than most spring mattresses in its price range. Eco-friendly materials throughout.

Pros Cons
Balanced comfort and support Heavier than foam mattresses — harder to rotate
Strong edge support May not be firm enough for strict back/stomach sleepers
Great for plush fans who still need support

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft

Best for: Side sleepers and pressure point relief

The TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft is Tempur-Pedic's soft-feel flagship. TEMPUR material conforms more closely to body contours than any standard foam, and the soft version is designed for sleepers who need deep pressure relief — particularly side sleepers with hip or shoulder pain. The cool-to-touch cover helps offset the heat retention that's typical of dense foam mattresses.

Pros Cons
Exceptional body contouring and pressure relief Higher price point
Best-in-class motion isolation Some find it too soft for back support
Durable TEMPUR material — designed to last

Eclipse Spruce Firm Innerspring

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who need firm, functional support

The Spruce Firm by Eclipse is a traditional firm innerspring mattress with a quilted top layer for minimal surface softness. It delivers excellent lumbar support and holds up well over time. If you're buying for a guest room, a teenager, or just need something solid and affordable, this is a dependable choice.

Pros Cons
Strong firm support at a competitive price Too firm for plush-preference sleepers
Good lumbar support Limited cushioning
Minimal motion transfer

Harvest Green Essential Natural Latex

Best for: Organic mattress buyers, hot sleepers, latex fans

The Harvest Green Essential is 100% natural latex with organic cotton and wool — no synthetic foams, no off-gassing, no harmful chemicals. Latex naturally sleeps cooler than foam, resists dust mites and bacteria, and is one of the most durable mattress materials available. If clean, natural sleep matters to you, this one's hard to beat.

Pros Cons
Fully natural and organic — no synthetic materials Higher cost due to natural materials
Sleeps cooler than foam Firmer feel — may not suit plush/foam lovers
Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, durable

05How to Choose During a Sale

A Memorial Day sale is a good time to buy — but the pressure of a time-limited deal can lead to rushed decisions. Here's how to stay smart:

  1. Know your sleep position before you shop. Side sleepers need more pressure relief; back and stomach sleepers need firmer support. This alone eliminates half the options.
  2. Set a real budget. A quality mattress you'll use for 10 years is worth spending on. A cheap mattress you'll hate in 2 years is not a deal.
  3. Try it in person. Spend at least 10 minutes on each mattress in your actual sleep position. Online reviews help — your body's response is better.
  4. Ask about the trial period. We offer a 120-Night Comfort Guarantee — you should have time to make sure the mattress works for you.
  5. Ask about financing. Memorial Day often comes with 0% financing promotions. Check our current financing options.

06FAQ

When does the Memorial Day mattress sale start?

Most Memorial Day mattress sales run from the Thursday or Friday before Memorial Day weekend through the Monday holiday. Some retailers extend them a few days after. Visit our locations or check our website for current sale details.

Are Memorial Day mattress deals actually good?

Generally, yes — Memorial Day is one of the calendar's genuine mattress sale events. Unlike some "always on sale" retailers, premium brands like Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster typically reserve their biggest discounts for a few specific holidays. Memorial Day is one of them.

What queen mattress is best for couples?

Couples should prioritize motion isolation and edge support. The TEMPUR-ProAdapt and TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze offer excellent motion isolation. For edge support — so neither sleeper falls off the edge — look for innerspring or hybrid models with reinforced borders.

What if I buy a mattress and don't like it?

At LA Mattress, we offer a 120-Night Comfort Guarantee. If your mattress isn't working out within 120 nights, we'll work with you on an exchange. Buy with confidence.

Do I need a new bed frame with a new mattress?

Not necessarily. Most modern queen mattresses work on standard platform frames, slatted bases, or box springs. If you're considering an adjustable base, confirm compatibility before purchasing — most foam and spring mattresses work fine, but always check.

How long should a queen mattress last?

A well-made mattress should last 7–10 years with proper care. Using a mattress protector and rotating your mattress (if the manufacturer recommends it) extends that lifespan. High-quality materials like latex and premium foams often hold up at the longer end of that range.
