1. When is the best time to buy a mattress?
The best time to buy a mattress is during one of the clearance sales at a mattress store. Generally speaking, those happen several times in the year. From March through May, when the new models are in stores, the stores need to get rid of older models. Or during their holiday sales. In recent years, Mattress Firm has had “king for the price of a queen” or “queen for the price of a twin” for their Labor Day sales. Presidents Day is the first major sale of the year — however, there are also sales for the 4th of July, Memorial Day, and Martin Luther King Day.
