Black Friday is consistently the best time of year to buy a mattress on Amazon — prices on Zinus, Linenspa, Casper, and Tuft and Needle drop 20-40% off their already-low prices. Here is what to expect and how to get the best deal.
When Do Amazon Mattress Black Friday Deals Start?
Amazon typically starts mattress Black Friday deals 1-2 weeks before Thanksgiving (mid-to-late November) with the deepest discounts on Black Friday itself and Cyber Monday. The sale window usually runs through the first week of December.

Are Amazon Black Friday Mattress Deals Real?
Mostly yes — but always verify. Amazon shows the “was” price and the sale price. Use CamelCamelCamel.com to see the actual price history of any mattress before Black Friday. Genuine Black Friday deals show a real drop from the 30-day average — not an inflated “original” price created just for the sale.
