Memorial Day is fast approaching, because time only passes faster as we get older. You know what else we need as we get older? A better mattress. I can’t rave enough about how much changing my mattress helped my back pain, taking me from starting each day half hunched over to feeling like a springy teen again. While a mattress can’t turn back time, a better mattress can lead to a lot of things: better sleep! better support! less pain overnight!
One of the best times to shop for a mattress is leading up to Memorial Day. There are some sales already underway, though some are in honor of Earth Day and Mother’s Day, and some are only for the weekend, so make sure to read the fine print and don’t miss these deals while they’re happening. We’ve rounded up everything we recommend for a better night’s sleep that’s currently on sale. Everything listed is based on queen size, with the discount listed based on the price we usually see these mattresses and sheets available for.

Cariloha
Bamboo sheets are some of my favorites to sleep on. They’re silky-soft and cool to the touch, but are a nice choice for spring, since they’ll warm up around you overnight. Some are even great cooling sheets. The newest ones I’ve tried are from Cariloha, and both sets were decadently soft and silky. The brand has a few different bamboo sheet styles, but the Classic Sheets are my favorite, thanks to the securing bands that keep them from moving around. Cariloha’s entire site is 20 percent off for Mother’s Day with the code MOTHERS20.
- Fantastic bamboo sheets with a securing strap: Cariloha Classic Bamboo Sheets for $191 ($48 Off, Use Code MOTHERS20)
- Extra soft bamboo sheets: Cariloha Retreat Bamboo Sheets for $231 ($58 Off, Use Code MOTHERS20)
Cozy Earth
Cozy Earth’s sale is actually for Mother’s Day, but their decadent bedding is always a great one to score on sale. Cozy Earth makes everything from sheets and comforters to towels and robes, all of which I love using around my home. Bamboo sheets are a huge favorite of everyone I show them to, so if you haven’t gotten a set yet, now’s the time.
- Our favorite splurge bamboo sheets: Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set for $248 ($82 Off)
- A bamboo comforter: Cozy Earth Bamboo Viscose Comforter for $266 ($89 Off)
Slumber Cloud
Slumber Cloud uses Tencel lyocell fabric along with its own proprietary fibers to make some of the best cooling sheets I’ve ever tried. They feel as light as percale, but silkier (thanks to the softness of lyocell!) and don’t make me feel sticky and sweaty like other special cooling sheets tend to do. It’s honestly impressive, and as the weather warms up, I’ll be reaching for these sheets time and time again. Slumber Cloud is running an anniversary sale from now until April 30, so snag these sheets for 20 percent off while you can.
