Memorial Day brings discounts to the mattress models the WIRED Reviews team tests year-round, with updated pricing through May 24. Deals include Helix Sleep’s Midnight Luxe Hybrid for $1,824 using code WIRED27, along with bedding and sleep accessory discounts
By the time the Memorial Day weekend starts feeling like background noise, one thing usually turns loud: the scrolling. That’s when the inboxes—yours and everyone else’s—fill up with mattress sale emails.
This year’s push is aimed directly at people who don’t just want a mattress. but want one they can trust after months of research. The WIRED Reviews team says it thoroughly tests the best mattresses long-term, not through “nap tests” or first-impression recommendations. The sales are “going strong. ” and the team is updating its deal list through the weekend with discounts on bedding. pillows. mattress toppers. and other sleep accessories.
Prices in the featured deals are listed for queen sizes. The story also notes that if you’re still choosing between options, there’s a separate guide on how to choose a mattress, plus more Memorial Day deals coverage and recommendations for things like pillows for neck pain and body pillows.
The most prominent deal right now is for the Helix Sleep Midnight Luxe Hybrid. It’s priced at $1,824, with $675 off, using code WIRED27. The mattress is listed as a 14-inch model. and the coupon is described as offering 27 percent off “for most people. ” with the team adding that it has previously sold for about $100 less. Helix is also said to be including “more freebies,” though the deal is still framed as strong even without them.
There’s a note of caution mixed into the pitch: the price “might drop a little later in the month.” Even so. the Midnight Luxe Hybrid is described as springy and medium-firm. intended to fit a range of sleeping styles. The individually wrapped springs are described as zoned for extra support where it’s needed to help prevent back pain. The team also says it doesn’t run too warm. but that because it’s thick. shoppers may need deep-pocketed sheets. The mattress is identified as the favorite for the WIRED Reviews team for over eight years.
The team says it has already been through its own round of cleanup and additions: the page was updated on May 24, with prices checked, expired deals removed, five new discounts added, and accuracy ensured throughout.
For anyone doomscrolling in search of a “best time” to buy. the logic is simple and familiar: mattresses go on sale often. but the guidance here is to wait until Memorial Day or Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This weekend. the message is that tested favorites are finally priced in a way you don’t have to talk yourself out of.
