Q: You and your significant other don’t have to wear the same-sized shoes, cook your steaks to the same level of doneness or use the same eyeglass prescription, do you? So why the heck should you have to spend your sleeping hours (i.e., one third of your lives!) reclined on an identical surface? That’s the question the folks at Sleep Number brilliantly answered with their customizable, two-sided mattresses. And right now, during their Labor Day sale, you can test-drive one for up to 50% off.
And yes, I do mean test-drive: Sleep Number offers a 100-night money-back guarantee on all of its beds. Of course, you may not need it, because these mattresses are designed to be a custom fit. They have lots of cushiony layers that conform to your body, respond to your movements and cradle your pressure points. And if you’re a hot sleeper, no sweat; all have a breathable cooling layer up top.
The company is sweetening the deal with extras like free home delivery (where applicable), pillow deals and even 20% off select bedding. It’s the one Labor Day sale you don’t want to sleep on, and I’ve curated five of the best mattress deals to give you a head start. The brand’s least expensive smart mattress is down to just $949, while the popular iLE Limited Edition is a rare 50% off. (Not sure which to choose?

Sleep Number’s c1 smart bed is a game-changer for getting your zzzs, and at less than $950 on sale, it’s also the most affordable smart mattress right now. You can customize it to suit your sleep style and your partner’s, then enjoy sound, sweat-free rest all night, every night (what a dream). I mean, that’s what Sleep Number is all about.Â
The c1 goes the extra mile by tracking each bedmate’s sleep quality, too, assigning each a SleepIQ score. The mattress uses that data to learn how to better adapt to your movements — and, for couples, to minimize disturbances.
“I bought this mattress about four months ago and have had some of the best sleep I’ve ever had. I actually feel well rested when waking up,” wrote a refreshed shopper.

The Limited Edition iLE mattress is the most luxurious in Sleep Number’s Innovation Series, with 12 inches of plush layers. It pulls out all the stops with cooling features. It’s also the “smartest” of the bunch — you’ll get all the baseline smart features, like a built-in sleep tracker and responsiveness, but with the best cooling, plushness and motion isolation. It’s a true MVP and is on rare sale for 50% off.Â
“I bought this over a month ago and I feel like a million bucks. The cooling layer, the flex base and the way it responds to my body’s needs are amazing. I feel like I won the lottery getting this bed!” one reviewer raved.

It’s impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed with the p5 mattress, part of the Performance Series, which adds a few more layers of thickness with a 10-inch profile and more support and pressure relief. The mattress also doubles down on cooling with two gel layers instead of one. It’s great if you want a step up from the brand’s classic mattress without going all out.
At 20% off for Labor Day, the savings are even better for the upgrade, too.
“After trying many beds, box springs and toppers, I have finally found the one! I have sciatica and spondylosis with fibromyalgia. My p5 has been so good for me. My husband surprised me with her and she is the best gift I have ever gotten,” a pain-free purchaser wrote.

As the mattresses get cooler, the savings get hotter. This one incorporates enhanced temperature balancing, meaning its cooling layer is ramped up with more ceramic gel. It’s also a bit more cushiony and thicker at 10 inches.Â
“My husband’s sleep number is 65 and mine is 15. No wonder he was sleeping so well and I wasn’t sleeping at all. My side is finally comfortable, and I can sleep and not wake up in pain,” wrote a grateful Sleep Number customer.

Part of Sleep Number’s Innovation Series, the i8 mattress — 25% off — lets you step further into luxury with an extra-thick, 12-inch profile, plus a quilted pillow top. It also dials up the cooling even further with four times more ceramic gel than more basic models.Â
But where this one truly stands out is its advanced smart features, which include hourly pressure adjustment and great edge support. The mattress is especially good for back sleepers.
“I am 66 years old and have slept with a body pillow for the past 12 years, which I no longer need with this new Sleep Number bed. Loving life,” wrote a fan.

It’s the best of both worlds — all the individualized comfort of separate beds and all the snuggliness of co-slumbering. What’s not to love? (Sleep Number)
