Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to save some serious cash on tech, kitchen gadgets, beauty or fashion, making it an event you won’t want to miss. In particular, the sale is a must if you’re in the market for big-ticket items for your home – such as a new sleep setup. And luckily for you, I’ve sourced the best Black Friday mattress deals.
Considering we spend around a third of our lives asleep, investing in a good-quality mattress is vital but, let’s face it, they can be extremely expensive. With a Black Friday discount, though, you could save hundreds of pounds on your next mattress, with deals typically available on all sizes and types, including memory foam, hybrid and pocket sprung options.
However, with so many deals flying about during the massive sale event, it can sometimes be tricky to know which are the best offers. But, as The Independent’s resident sleep expert (yes, I’ve tried and tested all of the best mattresses), I’ve rounded up the best mattress deals this Black Friday.

Simba hybrid luxe mattress, double: Was £1,699, now £1,275.26, Simbasleep.com
I tested this mattress for more than six months and considered it the best in my review. I found that it “offers the ideal balance between a firm and medium sleeping base”, and I’ve noticed “improved sleep, thanks to the coolness it offers during warmer months and increased cosiness seen in the autumn and winter”. All of the mattress sizes are reduced.
Nectar premier hybrid mattress, double: Was £1,213, now £749, Nectarsleep.co.uk
Nectar’s hybrid mattress was chosen as the best medium/firm option in the best mattress guide and right now there’s a whopping £464 saving to be snapped up. It’s made up of eight layers of foam, micro-springs, memory foam and a supportive base, which our tester said made their pressure points feel supported and their spine aligned. I gave it extra points for its ability to reduce motion transfer – I couldn’t feel my wriggly sleeping partner. Guests also commented on how comfortable it was.
Simba hybrid original mattress: Was £799, now £599.25, Simbasleep.com
Another Simba mattress I really rated in my review. “Sinkage is perfect, as is the balance of support and cloud-like cushioning. Its medium firmness is suited to those who sleep on their side, front or back, while its breathability makes the mattress a stellar option for those who tend to get hot during the night,” I wrote. For just £600, this is a great all-rounder – and take it from me, you’ll get a sound night’s sleep.
Panda hybrid bamboo mattress pro, double: Was £1,290, now £903, Pandalondon.com
You can save an impressive 30 per cent on Panda’s hybrid bamboo mattress pro right now. Chosen as the best option for back sleepers in my review of the best mattresses. “This hybrid mattress from Panda calls on bamboo to give you a better night’s kip. It’s vegan, and topped with a luxe, naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial bamboo cover that immediately gets extra points for being removable,” I wrote. Looking to complete your new sleep set-up? You can also snap up the Panda hybrid pillow (was £89.95, now £71.96, Pandalondon.com) with 20 per cent off.
Eve Sleep premium hybrid mattress, double: Was £949, now £549, Evesleep.co.uk
A great deal from Eve Sleep this Black Friday with a generous 40 per cent off, the premium hybrid mattress is a fusion of spring, foam and over 1,400 full-sized pocket springs. When testing this mattress, home tester Ali said: “On this, we had the best night’s sleep in years. This is thanks to the hybrid premium’s clever fusion of full-size springs and layer upon layer of innovative foam. The mattress boasts memory foam that isolates movement, meaning there’s no motion transfer if you sleep next to a night fidget – but then again, the night fidgeting seems to have ceased anyway, and we’re getting a great night’s sleep all round.”
Hypnos pillow top elite mattress, double: Was £2,785, now £2,367.25, Mattressman.co.uk
If you’re looking to invest in a luxury mattress, now could be the time to do it, as there’s 30 per cent off the Hypnos pillow top elite. Chosen as the best premium mattress in my round-up, I found it to be “a total dream to sink into”.
“Where the pillow top is concerned, we were initially worried it would be too soft, but it’s supportive and feels like a gentle hug. It’s one of the most comfortable mattresses we’ve tested.”
Simba hybrid original mattress, single: Was £659, now £349, Very.co.uk
You can save £300 on Simba’s bestselling hybrid original mattress at Very right now. Chosen as the best buy for edge-to-edge support in the best mattress guide, it was praised for its six layers of comfort and “cloud-like cushioning”. “Its medium firmness is suited to those who sleep on their side, front or back, while its breathability makes the mattress a stellar option for those who tend to get hot during the night”.
Stompa S flex airflow pocket children’s pocket spring mattress: Was £229. now £183.50, Johnlewis.com
Taking the top spot in our best kids’ mattress review, parenting writer Zoe praised its “cushioned top layer and airflow comfort layer” that makes “it incredibly comfortable for little sleepers”. Adding that “the pocket springs provide ample support for growing bodies”. Now reduced by an impressive 20 per cent, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your little one’s sleeping setup, now’s the time to do it.
Dormeo octasmart plus memory foam mattress: Was £699, now £516.09, Amazon.co.uk
Already a more affordable mattress, compared with many others, you can save more than £180 on Dormeo’s octasmart plus right now. Ideal if you’re in the market for a mattress-in-a-box, it comes tightly rolled and vacuum-packed for convenient and hassle-free delivery. There’s more to this model than pure ease, though. I found that it offers “a lot of bang for your buck”, with a firm and supportive design that doesn’t compromise on comfort. “As someone with occasional back and neck aches, the build gave us the support we needed, while the design’s three ‘body zones’ reduced disturbance when sharing a bed.”
Otty the Otty hybrid mattress, king: Was £799.99, now £649.99, Otty.com
If you’re looking for a supportive mattress, this could be the one for you. In our review of Otty’s hybrid mattress, our tester said it “undoubtedly falls on the firmer end” of the scale, describing it as a “great all-rounder that most people will find comfortable”. The mattress, which is made up of a 3cm layer of temperature-controlling memory foam, followed by another 3cm of high density reflex foam, and 2,000 springs, is currently on sale with £150 off.
When will mattress Black Friday deals start in 2024?
Traditionally, Black Friday kicks off on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US, meaning, this year, the Black Friday sale will commence on Friday 29 November, with the final day of the sale (also known as Cyber Monday) landing on 2 December.
While those are the official Black Friday sale dates, the offers tend to start launching well in advance. In fact, brands and retailers have started discounting mattresses, including Simba, Otty, Nectar and more.
