When is Black Friday 2023 in the UK?
Black Friday traditionally falls on the day after Thanksgiving, the American holiday that is celebrated on the last Thursday in November each year. This year’s Black Friday sale falls on Friday 24 November and discounts are expected to continue through to Monday 27 November, also known as Cyber Monday.
Are there any mattress deals available now?
Yes! Selected retailers drop discounts early, so eager shoppers can get a head start and take advantage of the early discounts on mattresses right now. We’ve already found mattress offers from brand’s like Simba, Emma Sleep, Nectar, REM-fit, Dusk, and OTTY but there are a handful of mattress retailers we’re keeping a close eye on this Black Friday so be sure to bookmark this page as we’ll be updating our list as soon as stores launch their deals.
What do I need to do before buying a mattress this Black Friday?
- Assess what type of sleeper you are – front, side or back (or a combination). To do this, make note of what position you fall asleep in, and what position you wake up in.
- Make sure you know your bed’s measurements and size; often people who think they have a double bed actually have a small double, so it’s worth checking to be sure.
- Check for sleep trials if you’ve never tried the mattress you think you’d like to purchase – e.g. hybrid, pocket sprung or memory foam mattress. This will keep you covered should you not get on with it.
- Find out what firmness your current mattress is and decide whether you want to level up – i.e. go firmer – or soften up with your new mattress purchase.
What are the best mattress brands?
When it comes to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday mattress sales, knowing which brands will throw in the best sheet sets and free pillows with your purchase, which ones are going to offer the best sale prices and which ones have the best overall Black Friday deals on actually high-quality mattresses is key. Here’s our verdict on the matter…
- Best in the GLAMOUR readers’ opinion – here are GLAMOUR, you – the readers – love Emma mattresses. With up to 65% off for Black Friday 2023, the Original and Luxe cooling mattresses come out on top as your favourites.
- Best luxe mattresses to go with The White Company or Dusk Bedding – if you’re after a thick, plush mattress to make your bedroom feel like a hotel, we’d absolutely suggest Brook + Wilde mattresses, we’re keeping an eye out for the brand’s Black Friday sale this year, as last year shoppers could save 55% off sitewide.
- Best most affordable mattress – if you’re a student (we see that avocado bedding in your basket…), looking for a kids bed or you simply want to save money, we’d recommend Dusk’s mattresses this Black Friday – currently on sale for as little as £329, they’re selling elevated sleep solutions for a fraction of the price.
