5 tips to get the best deals on mattresses and bedding this Black Friday

(BPT) – Most people would agree that getting good sleep makes you wake up feeling refreshed and rested, but not everyone knows just how crucial it is to get the recommended hours of shuteye. While you are resting, your body is at work. Your muscles work to repair themselves, hormones are released that affect everything from growth, stress and hunger and your brain flushes out toxins that build up while you’re awake. Additionally, a good night’s rest can affect your mood, immune system, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, concentration and energy throughout the day. If you’re tossing and turning throughout the night, or if your mattress is feeling lumpy or lopsided, you probably aren’t getting quality rest. To help yourself get good sleep consistently, it may be time to replace or upgrade your bed. If you’re looking to try out a new mattress, replace your old one or get new bedding, you should plan to buy these items during Black Friday to get the best sales.

Whether you’re a pro at Black Friday shopping or are gearing up for your first time, it’s good to start planning now to ensure you can get everything you need to create your sanctuary to help you get a great night’s sleep – this year and beyond.

1. Do your research

Do you prefer a bed as soft as a cloud, or do you need a firm bed to support your back and joints? Do you sleep hot and need breathable, light linen bed sheets, or are you cold and need warm flannel sheets? These are questions you should ask yourself before you start your Black Friday shopping for mattresses and bedding.

Once you’ve decided on the type of mattress and bedding you want, research which stores carry products that meet your wants and needs. When you’ve narrowed down the list of stores, compare in-store and online deals so you can get the items you need for your ideal bed.

2. Activate online sales alerts

Whether you’re looking to buy your first bed, replace an old one or upgrade your guest bedroom, you can get great deals on mattresses and bedding online. Set up sales alerts for mattress and bedding stores and products. This is important because some sales, especially online-only, take place well before Black Friday.

If you’re in the market for a new mattress, check out Mattress Firm‘s online exclusive Black Friday Flash Sale. From 10/26-11/8, beginning at 8 p.m. and ending at 8 a.m. each day, you can save an extra 20% off when you spend $449 or more or get 25% off when you spend $699 or more.

3. Study your sleep habits ahead of testing in-store

If you plan to shop in person for mattresses and other bed-related products on Black Friday, you’ll want to prepare ahead of time, as some items are online-only. Once you know your typical sleeping habits, use Mattress Firm’s MattressMatcher to learn which mattresses are best for you. Find out if any stores on your list carry the items you’re looking for in-store. Once you know which stores you want to visit, prioritize them by most to least important and make an itinerary.

Pro-tip: If most of your stores are at a mall, find the map online. Using the map, you can plan where to park for the easiest and quickest access to your favorite stores. Also, if the stores you plan to hit are in different parts of the mall or completely different locations, find friends and family to go with you to divide and conquer.

4. Look for bundles that upgrade your new mattress

Keep an eye out for Black Friday bundles. Bundles not only save money, but they’re also convenient because you can get all your related bed products in one spot. If you’re shopping for a mattress and frame, Mattress Firm offers a free adjustable base up to $499 with a qualifying mattress purchase in-store and online.

Don’t worry about hauling these items home or shipping costs. The mattress retailer also offers free and fast delivery on their Black Friday mattress sales.

5. Stack discounts

To get affordable mattresses and bedding, find stores that have other special discounts that will stack on top of Black Friday promotions. Many stores offer year-round discounts for students, teachers and other professionals. For example, at Mattress Firm, military, teachers, students, nurses, doctors and first responders can get an extra 10-20% off select mattresses, bedding and more.

Don’t wait until next year to get a bed that matches your sleep needs and preferences. Using these five tips, you can shop for mattresses and bedding this Black Friday with minimal fuss and at a price you’ll love.
