Buying a new bedroom suite, whether it be a new frame, mattress or new furnishings in general, isn’t generally at the top of the priority list. Most beds only need to be replaced every 10 to 20 years with proper care, but when the time comes, it is important that you shop around carefully, as a good night’s sleep is the key functioning, peaceful you.
Not all beds are created equal, and even identical bedroom furnishings can fluctuate wildly in price throughout the year. When it comes time to purchase a new mattress, you want to be sure that you coordinate the buying with the right time for securing the best deals. Below, we’ll walk you through the best times of the year to shop for a new mattress, frame or other bedroom accessories.
Black Friday
The single busiest shopping day of the year is Black Friday (in 2017, that’ll be November 24), when some of the deepest discounts across all industries are available. The same applies to mattress shopping: you can find great deals on mattress models that were released even just a few months prior.
In addition to this, many retailers are expanding their door-buster sales for the entire weekend, all the way through Cyber Monday (when online deals are at their best).
National Holidays
Check your local newspaper or online listings in the run-up to any national holiday: there is a good chance that your local mattress and bedding store is offering discounts on select mattresses. Some holidays such as Labour day can even offer prices rivalling those on Black Friday, according to bestmattress-brand.org
While the discounts may not be as steep as during other prime shopping periods of the year, you can almost always find savings if you wait to purchase during a holiday weekend. Even though the savings might be smaller, this can be a welcome sight for those in dire need of a new mattress and who cannot wait months for the next big sale.
Late Spring
The mattress industry generally revolves around predictable standards. One of those standards is when the bedding companies release new models for the year. From June through September, new mattress models are arriving in stores. This means that most mattress retailers want to move their older models out by May at the latest.
There are many great brands and varieties of mattresses that go on sale in April and May. The only reason they are deeply discounted is to make room for newer models, so you shouldn’t feel as if you’re getting an “obsolete” mattress. You can research to find which models are rated the best and also determine what price is a fair one.
Near the End of Each Fiscal Quarter
Every business aims to have good financial reports at the end of each fiscal quarter. Whether it be revenue or overall number of sales, most mattress companies are motivated restrict deep discounts to the end-of-quarter sales.
Because of this, you’ll want to look for great deals on beds and mattresses near the end of March, June, September and December. While the discounts may not be as deep as they might be during the May model rotation period, you’ll still find plenty of great bargains to be had when shopping during these times.
When shopping for a new mattress or any bedding supplies, you want the best deal possible. As it turns out, there are sales going on throughout the entire year that provide discounts compared to what you’d pay on most shopping trips. Ultimately, planning ahead and waiting for your ideal mattress to go on sale can provide you with deep discounts on your next new bed.
