As a side sleeper, I know memory foam mattress toppers are perfect for softening a firm bed that feels too hard against my shoulders and hips. Luckily, I've found three great memory foam topper deals to shop this weekend, including a sale that will help you save $100 on all sizes of the Layla Memory Foam Topper at Layla Sleep, reducing a queen to $249.
While most beds in this year's best mattress guide offer comforting layers of memory foam, a lot of innerspring mattresses can be way too hard for side sleepers. Fortunately, the best mattress toppers can add a soft, pressure-reliving surface to a firm mattress — and save you the cost of a fully-fledged memory foam bed.
As this year's Black Friday mattress topper sales are just around the corner, we've rounded up three of the best early topper deals to shop this side of Black Friday. These sales include an Amazon deal on a cooling Tempur-Pedic topper and a 25% discount on a pillow-top mattress topper from ViscoSoft.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a mattress topper?
This year's Black Friday mattress sales are a good time to buy a bed topper at a rock-bottom price. However, this does not apply to all mattress toppers. Some mattress toppers have an evergreen discount, meaning you can get them for the same low price all year round. There's also the high demand around Black Friday which sometimes leads to back orders and shipping delays — for example, ViscoSoft frequently sell out their twin XL mattress toppers as they're very popular for dorm beds.
Bottom line: if you're in no rush to buy a new bed topper, wait to see what the Black Friday sales have to offer. However, if you need one soon, take a look at the early Black Friday sales instead, which usually start around early November.
