When do Black Friday sales end?
Most brands and retailers typically run their Black Friday sales in the run-up to or on 28 November, and throughout the Black Friday weekend into the following Monday, Cyber Monday, which this year falls on 1 December. So there’s plenty of time to shop around and find a really good deal on right mattress for you.
Should I wait for Cyber Monday?
While fresh deals do appear on Cyber Monday, it’s generally wise to go for a deal sooner rather than later. The most popular mattresses with the most impressive deals might sell out before you nab it.
How to avoid bad deals
While there are lots of genuine deals to shop in the Black Friday sales, there are definitely some duds. A good rule of thumb is to stick to reputable brands. In our guides, we only feature products we’ve tested ourselves or those from brands we know and trust, so these are a good place to start. For more tips on how to shop the Black Friday sales, our consumer expert Molly Greeves has you covered with her Black Friday shopping guide.
