How to spot a great black friday mattress deal
It can be so easy to get swept up in the hoopla surrounding black friday that you’re willing to add almost anything with a discount to your online basket. However, it’s important to know not all deals are as good as they first seem, especially when it comes to mattresses.
To get the best deals, we recommend checking different retailers’ websites, as the mattress in question could be being sold elsewhere at a similar price, so the offer may not be as special as it first seemed. Similarly, it’s important to do your research when it comes to brands. If there’s an incredible deal on a mattress from a brand you don’t recognise, do a little digging to make sure its not just a cheaper alternative to a well-known name.
Another good shopping tip to remember is to save products you’ve had your eye on via a wish list on brands’ websites (these can be set up easily by creating an account with the retailer) or bookmark the page on your own device. That way, you’re sure to focus on getting the best deals on the products you actually want, rather than risking getting sidetracked.
If it all feels a bit overwhelming or you don’t have the time to do any prep, the IndyBest team is on hand to sift through the mountain of deals on offer, and we will be bringing you all the best price drops right here. So, if it’s a mattress you’re in the market for, simply bookmark this page and give us a visit when you’re ready to click that “buy now” button.
You also don’t have to rush into buying a new mattress just because it’s black friday. Plenty of brands hold discounts on their products year-round and we have a dedicated monthly mattress deals guide in which you can find the latest and greatest offers.
What brands have the best black friday mattress deals?
Mattress sellers are competitive, which is good news when it comes to securing a great deal during black friday. In terms of brands, we’ve found discounts from the likes of Simba, Emma, Nectar, Otty and Eve, to name a few. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on retailers such as Very, Bensons for Beds and Dreams, which also take part in the shopping bonanza.
What is the best Simba mattress black friday deal?
Right now, Simba is offering up to 55 per cent off its range of mattresses and bedding, as part of its black friday sale. The best mattress will largely depend on your personal preferences and sleep needs but we must highlight the Simba hybrid pro, which has an impressive 45 per cent off all sizes. A UK double has been reduced from £1,609 to £879.45 (Simbasleep.com), while a king size mattress has been reduced from £1,759 to £961.95 (Simbasleep.com). However, it’s also available in single, small double, super king and EU queen sizes. This exact model featured in our round-up of the best mattresses for 2023 and was chosen as the best mid-range hybrid mattress, with our tester awarding it four stars out of five.
What is the best Emma mattress black friday deal?
Popular sleep brand Emma’s black friday sale is already underway, and there’s up to a whopping 65 per cent off many of its bestselling mattresses. There are four different types of mattress to choose from online, three of which are included in the sale, but our top pick has to be the Emma original, which has 20 per cent off all sizes. The UK double has gone from £474 to £379.20 (Emma-sleep.co.uk), while the king size has been reduced from £536 to £428.80 (Emma-sleep.co.uk).
