We're less than a week out from Memorial Day and the mattress sales are flooding in. Case in point: there's $400 off the Saatva Classic at Saatva, which brings a queen down to $1,779 from $2,179. That matches the same deal we saw last Black Friday, making now an excellent time to buy — especially as mattress prices tend to creep up shortly before summer.I helped test the Saatva Classic in our studio lab, where it secured its top spot in our guide to the best mattress of 2026 thanks to a near-perfect review score. It embodies everything you'd want from a luxury hybrid; customizable support, incredible pressure relief in all sleep positions and reliable temperature regulation all year round. For me, the Classic is the deal to beat this Memorial Day. But for more options, we're tracking the best Memorial Day mattress sales as they drop. Wondering if the Classic is the mattress for you? Let's take a closer look...Why the Saatva Classic is still the best option for most sleepersImage 1 of 4(Image credit: Future)We've tested upwards of 130+ mattress and the Saatva Classic sets the benchmark for the best hybrid mattress; non-toxic materials for cleaner sleep, soothing pressure relief for all sleep positions, a lumbar crown for back pain support, plus sturdy edges you can sleep right up against. We recently re-tested the Classic across five key areas of performance, including temperature regulation (which is how cool it feels), motion isolation (how well it dampens movement across the surface) and pressure relief (how well it removes pressure along the touch points of the bed). The Classic knocked all of our tests out of the park, which makes it a great option for solo or co-sleepers prone to sleeping on the warm side, as well as anyone seeking body-contouring support. It comes in three firmness options — Plush Soft, Luxury Firm and Firm — and as you can pick your preference it's comfortable for practically all sleepers (we tested the Luxury Firm and felt it was the sweet spot for most sleep styles). However, a maximum weight capacity of 600lb (solo or combined) means it's not suitable for heavier bodies. For that, check out the Saatva HD instead, a luxury innerspring mattress with a higher weight limit.Smaller budget?
