DreamCloud is offering up to 60% off, the steepest discount in a Memorial Day mattress-in-a-box push that also includes Leesa, Helix, Nectar and Purple.
Leesa is cutting 30%, Helix 27%, Nectar pricing its flagship mattress at $689 from a stated $1,615 value, and Purple offering up to $700 off plus a $100 first-purchase gift.
The promotions target specific needs—back pain, overheating, budget shopping and luxury upgrades—while adding perks such as free pillows, sheets, delivery and long sleep trials.
Memorial Day has become a Black Friday-style moment for mattresses as major brands run sitewide sales at once and compete during peak moving season.
