Twin mattress sales FAQs
What mattress should I buy?
The best mattress for you depends on a handful of factors, like how you sleep and how much you want to spend. Our guide to the best mattresses outlines the best picks for every kind of shopper, from hot sleepers to tight-budget buyers. The same standards ring true when shopping for a twin mattress, too, so we suggest organizing your priorities and doing your research to ensure you buy the best fit for your perfect night's sleep.
What is the difference between twin and twin XL mattresses?
Twin and twin XL mattresses are very similar with one key difference: twin XL is five inches longer, making it a better fit for tall sleepers with small living spaces. Be sure to pay close attention to which mattress you buy, as twin and twin XL often won't fit the same sheets and bed frames.
When is the best time to buy a mattress?
If you can hold off on buying a new mattress, the best time to do so is during major deal events like Black Friday. During this time, mattress retailers, big and small, drop their prices to incredible all-time lows, helping you potentially save hundreds of dollars.
Other great holiday mattress sales include Presidents Day in February, Memorial Day in May, and Labor Day in September. These events often feature incredible discounts with freebies bundled in, sometimes even matching discounts we see during Black Friday.
But ultimately, the best time to buy a mattress is when you need it. That's why we've gathered the best twin mattress sales going on now, so you can feel confident that you're buying at the current lowest price available.
