President's Day is one of the best weekends of the year to buy a mattress. Retailers mark down inventory significantly — often 20–40% off — and bundle deals, free accessories, and special financing are common. If you've been meaning to upgrade your sleep setup, this is a practical time to act.

At LA Mattress Store, we feature deep discounts across our full lineup during the President's Day sale, including top brands like Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Sealy Posturepedic, and Chattam & Wells.

This guide walks you through what makes President's Day worth shopping, our top picks, and how to choose the right mattress for your needs.

02Why President's Day Is a Smart Time to Buy

President's Day falls in mid-February — between the post-holiday lull and the spring inventory refresh. Retailers use the weekend to move inventory and bring in buyers who held off during the holidays.

What typically happens:

  • Meaningful price reductions on current models — not just $50 off, but hundreds off on mid-range and premium mattresses
  • Bundle offers — adjustable bases, foundations, pillows, and protectors are frequently added to qualifying purchases
  • Extended financing — 0% APR promotions that let you spread the cost over 12–36 months
  • Floor sample clearance — heavily discounted premium models at reduced prices

Don't wait until late in the weekend — selection drops and popular sizes sell out as the sale progresses.

03How to Choose the Right Mattress for You

Before you browse the sale, take five minutes to identify what you actually need. The right mattress depends on a few key factors:

Your Sleep Position

  • Side sleeper — needs pressure relief at the shoulder and hip; lean toward softer or medium
  • Back sleeper — needs support along the lumbar spine; medium-firm works well for most
  • Stomach sleeper — needs a firm surface to prevent hips from sinking out of alignment
  • Combination sleeper — medium is the most versatile

Heat Sensitivity

If you tend to sleep hot, prioritize mattresses with cooling technologies: gel memory foam, open-cell foam, phase-change covers, or hybrid construction with innerspring airflow.

Motion Sensitivity

Sharing a bed? Memory foam and hybrids absorb movement better than traditional innerspring. If your partner's movements wake you up, foam-dominant construction will help.

Budget

Set a realistic range before you walk in. A quality mattress in the $1,000–$2,000 range (queen, during sale pricing) gives you access to solid construction and reliable brands. Above that, you're getting into premium materials and craftsmanship. We offer financing if that helps you get into a better mattress now and pay over time.

04Our Top President's Day Sale Picks

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-ProAdapt Soft

One of the best-known names in premium sleep. The ProAdapt Soft uses Tempur-Pedic's proprietary TEMPUR-ES material — denser and more responsive than standard memory foam. It adapts closely to your body shape, relieving pressure at hips, shoulders, and back.

This model is designed for side sleepers and anyone who wants a deeply cushioning, low-bounce feel. It's one of the best mattresses for pressure relief on the market.

Pros Cons
Exceptional pressure relief Higher price point
Outstanding motion isolation Not ideal for those who prefer firm or bouncy
Durable, long-lasting TEMPUR material Slow response may feel restrictive to some

Chattam & Wells Windsor Medium Firm Euro Top

An 18-inch luxury mattress with hand-tufted finishes, natural latex, and high-resiliency foams. The Windsor is built for people who want a premium, crafted mattress — the kind that's made with real attention to materials and construction detail.

The medium-firm feel works for back and combination sleepers. It's a substantial investment, but the construction quality is evident.

Stearns & Foster Reserve Medium

Stearns & Foster is known for meticulous craftsmanship, and the Reserve Medium is a good example of their work. IntelliCoil Advanced technology provides individualized support across the surface, adapting to different zones of the body.

Great for back sleepers and couples with different comfort preferences. The construction is built to last.

Pros Cons
IntelliCoil zoned support system Subjective firmness — test in person

Sealy Posturepedic Premium Hybrid Gold Chill Ultra Plush

If you sleep hot and want plush comfort, this is worth a look. The DuoChill cooling system works on two levels — cover and foam — to regulate surface temperature. The hybrid design (innerspring + memory foam) adds responsiveness and airflow that all-foam mattresses can't match.

Check availability — floor sample clearance units come at a significant discount when they're in stock.

Pros Cons
Dual-zone cooling technology Ultra-plush may not suit all sleepers
Hybrid construction adds airflow Floor sample — limited warranty may apply
Responsive feel for a plush mattress

Eastman House Royal Sands Luxury Pillow Top

A traditionally crafted pillow top mattress with a premium feel at a more accessible price point than some European luxury brands. The Royal Sands delivers real cushioning with a supportive core — a good option if you want the plush surface feel without sacrificing structure.

Pros Cons
Genuine pillow top comfort layer May be too soft for those needing firm support
Supportive core beneath the plush surface Premium price reflects quality
Durable construction

Diamond Mattress Tundra Hybrid Cool Copper Gel Plush

Diamond is a California-made brand and a longtime favorite among LA buyers. The Tundra combines individually-wrapped coils with Cool Copper Gel memory foam — copper is a natural conductor, helping pull heat away from the sleep surface. Good choice for those who want a plush feel with active cooling.

Pros Cons
Copper-infused gel for active cooling Plush feel won't suit all sleep positions
Hybrid design balances comfort and support Higher investment for the cooling tech
California-made quality

Scandinavian Sandmahn Luxury Plush Box Top

A step up from a standard pillow top — the box top construction adds a more structured comfort layer that maintains its shape better over time. Scandinavian is a brand known for quality materials without the brand-name markup. Good value for a luxury-feel mattress.

Pros Cons
Box top holds shape better than pillow tops May not provide enough firmness for some
High-quality construction at accessible price Luxury features increase the price
Good spinal alignment support
