If you’ve been waiting for Black Friday to buy a mattress, I see little point in waiting any longer as the best deals are already out there. The majority match the biggest discounts I’ve tracked in every other major sale this year, so you won’t miss a cent if you buy now instead of on Black Friday. 

There is an exception though: Tempur-Pedic. Based on previous sales, I think Tempur-Pedic will drop a zinger of a deal on one of its more affordable models closer to actual Black Friday. So if you’re looking to buy one of these NASA-inspired mattresses, I recommend waiting to see if a better Tempur-Pedic Black Friday sale comes along next week.

I’ve been reporting on holiday mattress sales for over five years and have become an expert on spotting a great deal and below are my top five personal recommendations from this year’s Black Friday mattress deals. You’ll find more up-to-the-minute picks in my Black Friday mattress deals live blog.
