Best mattress deals to expect for Black Friday 2023 from Emma, Silentnight and more

Somehow an entire year has flown by, and we’re back to that time again. Yes, it’s almost time to smash open your Black Friday piggy bank in anticipation of the biggest sales of the year.

If you’re looking to replace expensive items like tech and household essentials like a mattress, Black Friday is the best time of the year to save hundreds on the RRP. Prices tumble across the board - more so even than the Boxing Day and January sales - helping savvy shoppers save money on big brands.

It’s been a firm fixture on the shopping calendar for decades now, and with the cost-of-living crisis continuing to bite hard, there’s never been a better time to join in on the shopping bonanza.

When is Black Friday?

The exact date for Black Friday shifts every year as it takes place the day after the US celebrates Thanksgiving. The easiest way to remember is that it happens on the fourth Friday of November, this year that is November 24.

What is Black Friday?

It’s a massive sale, conveniently timed just before Christmas. It might have started as a one-day thing, but now you can see the discounts start weeks ahead and wind up on the following Monday, known across the world as Cyber Monday.

When does Black Friday end?

This year, Cyber Monday is on November 27 and marks the end of the annual Black Friday event for most retailers. It’s the best time to pounce on electrical and tech items.

The Black Friday extravaganza is prime time to snag those big ticket items that need replacing around the home - think fridge freezers, washing machines and mattresses.

Arguably the most important piece of furniture you’ll ever own, a great mattress is essential for health, mood and as temperatures fall, your winter hibernation nest.

What kind of mattress deals can we expect?

Whether you’re looking for unparalleled levels of support courtesy of pocket springs, fancy sinking into a cloud-like memory foam surface, or want the best of both worlds with a hybrid construction, there will be rollbacks galore on every mattress type during the Black Friday sales.

Leading brands get in on the action - think Simba, Silentnight, Hypnos and more - slashing prices on some of their bestsellers while free gifts and perks are often in the mix too. If you’ve been grumbling about the state of your mattress, there is no better time to shop for a replacement.

Where to shop Black Friday mattress deals

With so much happening on the day, it can be tricky to cut through the noise. Luckily we’ve done the undercover work and sussed the best deals for you, from beds-in-a-box to bouncy pocket springs and everything in between.

The best place to hear about them? Right here at ES Best. We’ll publish the dreamiest deals as soon as we hear about them and run a Live Blog so you can make your move before the offers run out.
