Why We Love This Deal
There’s no shortage of mattress discounts this time of year. Surprisingly, though, Amazon’s Labor Day Sale is home to some of the best mattresses for value shoppers. Alongside the typical array of deals on everything from hiking boots to teeth whiteners, you can also get a new memory foam mattress from one of the premier new-school mattress brands for just north of $500.
The queen-sized edition of the Casper Sleep Element Mattress is on sale for $516 at Amazon right now, a 20% discount from its normal $645 price tag. It’s the economy model in the Casper lineup, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a high-quality sleep surface. This model is Casper’s bestseller among Amazon shoppers, who have given it over 4,200 five-star ratings while noting it has the “perfect firmness.”

What Shoppers Are Saying
One reviewer called this the “best mattress available for value-conscious shoppers,” and it’s not hard to see why. They said it’s a “super comfortable mattress” that lets them “sleep like a stone,” and that setup is a simple matter of removing the plastic wrap and allowing the mattress to expand. Overall, this reviewer would “100% buy this mattress again” after sleeping on it for several weeks.
Another who had this mattress for two years wrote that they are “still in love” with it. “It has stayed supportive and in peak condition the whole time,” and peak condition for this mattress is very good. Even as someone who normally prefers a soft mattress, they said, “This mattress hits that sweet spot of support and comfort.” It also “does a great job of isolating movement,” so there’s no need to worry about a restless spouse waking you up.
All mattresses get worn out and eventually need replacement, and if yours is reaching the end of its life, there’s no better time to get a new one like the Casper Sleep Element Mattress than during the myriad of Labor Day sales happening.
