When do the Boxing Day mattress sales start?
Traditionally Boxing Day mattress sales begin right after Christmas on December 26th, with many retailers launching their deals at midnight or early morning hours.
However, some mattress brands start their Boxing Day promotions a few days before Christmas, allowing early-bird shoppers to secure the best deals and potentially have their mattresses in time for the New Year.
How long the Boxing Day deals run does depend on the individual retailer, some will limit their sales to just one day, but the majority stretch out offers until later in the month before launching their January sales prices.
Are Boxing Day sales a good time to buy a mattress?
The Boxing Day sales often contain discounts from leading sleep brands. You will find discounts ranging from 15%-50% off regular prices, as well as some mattress brands offering additional perks like free bedding bundles.
A mattress is a long term investment so it’s important to make sure you’re choosing the right mattress before you buy, no matter how good the sales price is.
We recommend making a list of those mattresses you’re interested in before the Boxing Day sales start and then when the sales begin you’ll be able to guarantee the best mattress for you is at the best price.
How to spot a good Boxing Day mattress deal
When shopping the Boxing Day sales for a mattress, it pays to be prepared. Our team of experts has done a lot of the hard work for you, and recommend keeping the following in mind when choosing between deals:
- Sleep trial: Look for mattresses offering at least a 100-night sleep trial. This gives you plenty of time to properly test the mattress and decide whether it suits your sleep style.
- Clear returns policy: Ensure the retailer offers hassle-free returns and clearly states whether there’s a cost to return the mattress and who will cover the shipping costs.
- Price jistory: Mattress sales happen all the time which means that prices and vary, but it’s worth checking out the price history of your chosen mattress so that you know when the best time to buy is. Typically, we see the bigger discounts towards the end of the year like Boxing Day and the start of the year when the January sales start. But there are some retailers who offer same evergreen discount all year, so always check the price history.
- Does it have a good warranty: Regardless of how good your mattress is, it does have a lifespan and for a typical bed that’s usually between 7-10 years. So make sure you check for a good warranty period, ideally you’ll want a minimum of 10 years as that will cover the life of the mattress and also double check what the warranty covers and if it included defects and sagging.
- Delivery: Not all mattress companies offer free delivery, so before you decide to buy, check out what the delivery terms are and whether it’s free and includes the removal of your old mattress as these two things can add a significant amount on to the cost of your mattress purchase.
