Tons of Presidents’ Day sales trumpet deals on mattresses, sheets, and pillows. But most of them stink.
We’ve scoured these often-overhyped discounts to highlight only the best deals on our expert-vetted mattress, pillow, and bedding picks, along with additional price drops on recommended electronics, furniture, appliances, and clothing.
Mattress, sheet, and pillow deals
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress (queen, king, or California king)
Combining the best components of memory-foam and innerspring mattresses, this longtime pick’s hybrid tech boasts over 1,000 springs and four layers of CertiPUR-US–certified memory foam. We like this mattress for stomach-, back-, and side-sleepers, and we especially appreciate its 100-day trial period and 10-year warranty.
Buying Options
(queen)
25% off MSRP all sizes w/WIRECUTTER25
Other things to know: Mattress is 11 inches tall. Use code WIRECUTTER for the deal price. The king and California king sizes are also on sale (down to $1,300) with the promo code. Deal comes with two free down-alternative pillows and a microfiber sheet (not a Wirecutter recommendation but a nice add-on). Street price has risen by $100 since last year.
Read our review of the best hybrid mattresses.
Saatva Classic (Luxury Firm, queen)
Appealing to those who want to nestle in, as opposed to feeling engulfed, this is the most affordable innerspring mattress we’ve found that still looks and feels luxurious. You can count on it for classic innerspring bounce paired with a cushy but understated 3-inch Euro top.
Buying Options
(queen)
$200 off $1,000+
Other things to know: This mattress doesn’t have the best motion isolation. Comes in thicknesses of 11.5 and 14.5 inches, and you have 365 nights to try it. Discount available on all sizes. We recommend the Luxury Firm comfort level.
Read our review of the best innerspring mattresses.
WinkBed (Luxury Firm, queen)
A quilted cover, pocketed coils, and a foamy top give this bed a pleasingly hefty hybrid feel. Its billowy-yet-substantial feel has remained a crowd-pleaser in our tests.
Buying Options
Other things to know: We like this mattress for back- and stomach-sleepers, side-sleepers who rotate positions frequently, or those who simply prefer a firmer mattress. Deal price reflects the Luxury Firm option in the queen size, but the other sizes are also on sale. Use code WCPD24 to get the discount.
Read our review of the best innerspring mattresses.
Leesa Original Mattress (queen, king, or California king)
Consisting of three layers of CertiPUR-US–certified memory foam, it combines the gentle cradle of a classic memory-foam mattress with a firmness that doesn’t hamper movement. It’s a great value for back- and side-sleepers on a budget, especially when it’s on sale (like right now).
Buying Options
(queen)
25% off MSRP all sizes w/WIRECUTTER25
Other things to know: Memory-foam mattress provides little edge support. Leesa offers a 100-day trial period and 10-year warranty. Use code WIRECUTTER. Deal price reflects the queen size, but the king and California king sizes are also on sale for $960 with the code. Deal comes with a free sheet set and two pillows—a nice add-on, but we haven’t tested either.
Read our review of the best memory-foam mattresses you can buy online.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Topper (queen)
Made from a dense memory foam that didn’t overheat our testers, this is the most luxurious topper we’ve found if you need to soften up a too-firm mattress. It’s pricey, but it cradles pressure points better than other memory-foam toppers we tested.
Buying Options
Other things to know: An investment, but comes with a 10-year warranty—the longest of any mattress topper we tried. Weighs about 36 pounds, making it difficult to maneuver. Stated deal price is for the queen size, but all other sizes are also discounted.
Read our review of the best mattress toppers.
Best Choice Products 4-in Portable Folding Mattress (twin)
If you’ve got extra storage space and truly despise air mattresses, this guest-bed alternative is a nice upgrade without having to buy an actual bed. Made of high-density foam, this folding mattress is significantly more comfortable than a blow-up bed.
Other things to know: We prefer two twins mattresses for the ultimate versatility and storage options. Stack two twin mattresses for a single guest or lay them side by side for a couple. Not a great option if you’re tight on space. Bulky to transport and store.
Read our review of the folding mattress my overnight guests love.
Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow (standard)
Our longtime favorite pillow’s moldable, customizable shredded-foam filling offers firm, comfortable support for back- and side-sleepers. And unlike some other shredded-foam pillows we’ve tried, it doesn’t have a lingering chemical smell.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Redesigned in 2021 with a softer, cooler cover; the shredded foam is now encased in its own washable inner pouch. Two-year warranty. Use promo code WCSLEEP24 to get deal price plus free shipping. Deal price is for the standard size.
Read our review of the best bed pillows.
Ecosa Pillow
If you’re a back- or side-sleeper who suffers from neck, shoulder, or arm pain, this may just be the pillow of your dreams. It’s firm, but it still has a bit of squish, and the height-adjustable and curved design provides targeted neck support.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Pricier than some of our other pillow picks. Comes with two sheets of extra foam that you can add to the bottom (inside the cover) to adjust its height. 100-night return policy. Matches the previous best price we’ve seen. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the deal.
Read our review of the best memory-foam pillows.
Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter (full/queen)
With a baffle-box construction and 700-fill-power duck down, this is an all-around great comforter. It’s easy to wash, it doesn’t slide off the bed, and it keeps its loft, even after being in storage.
Buying Options
Other things to know: One-year return policy and two-year warranty. Use code WCDOWNCOMFORTER27. Deal reflects the pricing for the full/queen size in all-season weight, but all sizes and weights are discounted with the code.
Read our review of the best comforters.
Cultiver Linen Duvet Cover
This is by far the softest linen duvet cover we’ve tested, with a breathable rustic texture that adds a pleasantly rumpled look to any bed. The strong, neat stitching holds up in the wash, and we’ve experienced no pilling, thinning, or construction breakdowns.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Swatches are available if you’re unsure of color or texture. Deal pricing reflects the queen size, but all sizes are on sale with code WIRECUTTER20.
Read our review of duvet covers we love.
Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover (full/queen)
Soft, comfortable percale construction makes this duvet cover feel like luxurious hotel bedding—without a luxury-hotel price. In fact, it’s one of the least expensive covers we’ve tried, yet it also comes in the most stylish and interesting variety of prints we’ve seen.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Can get a bit wrinkled. After years of long-term testing, we’re still impressed with this cover’s overall construction. Use the code WCCLASSICDUVET25. Deal price is based on the full/queen size, but the code takes 25% off all sizes.

Riley Textured Cotton Coverlet
Featuring a thick cotton top with gauzy backing, this lightweight, breathable blanket can keep you cool whether you tend to sleep hot during warm weather or year-round. The ribbed design and the wide selection of colors and sizes ensure that it looks great on any bed.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Not the softest blanket we recommend. Stated deal price is for the queen size. Use coupon code WCSLEEP. Not the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this item, but better than most deals we’ve seen within the past year.
Read our review of the best blankets.
Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set
Perfect for hot sleepers, these percale sheets feel as cool against the skin as they look on a bed. They’re lightweight, breathable, and available in a variety of colors and modern prints to suit a range of styles.
Buying Options
Other things to know: These sheets don’t soften up as much over time as our L.L.Bean pick, but they’re similarly sturdy and hold up beautifully. Set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two pillowcases. 365-day return policy. Deal price is for the queen size, but all sizes are discounted with code WCCLASSICSHEETS25.
Read our review of the best sheets.
Cultiver Linen Sheet Set (queen)
Great for hot sleepers, this longtime favorite linen sheet set pick is durable, breathable, and one of the softest we’ve tested. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, but you can also purchase by the piece.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Like any linen sheets, these wrinkle very easily. More limited sizing than other brands. No warranty, and a pretty standard 30-day return policy. Deal price reflects the discount for the queen size, but code WIRECUTTER20 gets you a deal on all sizes.
Read our review of the best linen sheets.
LilySilk 25 Momme Oxford Envelope Luxury Pillowcase (standard size, set of two)
Our sleep experts consider these silk pillowcases a holy-grail item for curly or potentially frizzy locks. They feel decadently lustrous and weighty right out of the box, but we like them even more after the first wash.
Buying Options
Other things to know: The 25-momme count indicates a good weight of silk, while the 6A rating indicates a good strand length. Add two standard-size pillowcases to your cart and use code WC1 for the deal price of $88. You can also get two queen-size pillowcases for $103 with code WC2 or two king-size pillowcases for $116 with code WC3.

Baloo Weighted Blanket (queen, 15 pounds)
Combining the best elements of a quilt and a comforter, this weighted blanket is well balanced, crisp, and easy to throw in the washer and dryer. It’s affordable, yet it offers overall better quality than cheaper options.
Other things to know: The cotton batting prevents the weight from enveloping your body as closely as that of blankets without such filler. Can feel less breathable and even hot compared with knit-style options. Lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship. Deal for the full/queen size (60 by 80 inches).

Clothing deals from REI, Harper Wilde, Patagonia, and more
Harper Wilde Bliss Bralette
This bralette offers a pull-on, wire-free design and medium support. The smooth, pleasantly stretchy material gently hugs the skin, and its plunging neckline and low back look good under a variety of tops while providing plenty of coverage.
Other things to know: Matches the best price we’ve seen on this item. Available in sizes XS to 3XL in select colors. Band and straps aren’t adjustable. Price includes $6 shipping.
Read our review of the most comfortable bras.
Lunya Washable Silk Set
Unlike most silk pajamas, this luxe set is entirely washable, so it’s a great everyday indulgence. The youthful silhouette features an abbreviated crop top that exposes some midriff and a sporty racerback design that flatters a variety of body types.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Made of 100% Mulberry silk. More playful silhouette than on our pajama picks. Available in a variety of colors and sizes. Use code FOR-WCSLEEP.
Read our review of the best gifts for girlfriends (that are great for anyone).
The Company Store Company Cotton Men’s Robe
Comfortable enough for winding down or lounging around, this indulgently soft cotton robe is absorbent enough to dry you off after a shower. It offers a roomy fit that makes it easy to move around in, with a relaxed shawl collar, generous patch pockets, and a tie belt.
Other things to know: The thick terry cloth is a tad too warm for year-round wear. Deal price is for the white color in sizes S to XXL.
Read our review of the best robes.
Eyebuydirect blue-light-lens glasses (35% off plus free shipping)
Offering both prescription and non-prescription blue-light-blocking glasses, Eyebuydirect has a wide selection of frames and glasses, including the only option we recommend with two size options. Items are consistently high in quality, and the customer service is reliable.
Buying Options
Other things to know: 14-day return policy. Eyebuydirect offers four tiers of blue-light-filtering lens enhancements starting at $19. Pair with the frames of your choice and use code WIRECUTTER35 for 35% off nearly all lenses plus free shipping (some exclusions apply).
Read our review of the best blue-light-blocking glasses.
New Balance Fresh Foam 880v13 running shoes (men’s)
Get a nice boost of energy on daily road runs, long walks, and even trail runs with this pair of cushioned running shoes. Featuring a flexible synthetic and mesh upper, a foam midsole, and a rubber outsole, these shoes feel supple and soft—but not too soft, so they may take a while to break in.
Buying Options
Other things to know: May take a bit longer to break in than other shoes. Consider buying the 880v13 pair in a half-size larger than usual. One runner reported that the shoes felt warm but not stifling during warm, humid weather. On sale in select colors and sizes.
Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Mini Hip Pack 1L
Strap this compact fanny pack on your person or toss it into your suitcase, and you’ll be ready for your next adventure. It’s lightweight and weather resistant thanks to its 100% recycled ripstop nylon construction, and it’s covered by Patagonia’s open-ended guarantee.
Other things to know: The 1-liter capacity may not hold enough for some wearers. Maximum waist-strap length is only 36 inches. On sale in three color combinations. REI members get free shipping, but non-members can opt for store pickup or add to a combined order of $50 or more to avoid shipping fees.

Home and furniture deals
If you’ve been looking for a reason to breathe new life into your home, this is it. Here are the best Presidents’ Day furniture and home sales we’ve found.
Revival rugs (25% off washable-rug purchases over $350)
These quality flatweave organic-cotton rugs come in neutral and geometric patterns and can be machine washed and hung to dry. We recommend opting for the premium rug pad with your purchase to make it softer underfoot and keep it in place.
Buying Options
Other things to know: We like these rugs for dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and kids rooms. Save 25% on washable-rug or rug-mat purchases over $350 when you use code WCWASH25. Deal pricing varies depending on your total.
Read our review of the best area rugs.
Tuft & Needle Wood Frame (queen)
Classically handsome with clean lines and a particularly sturdy hardwood construction, this bed is great if you like mid-century design. Our testers especially appreciated how the low headboard offers enough under-bed clearance for easy storage.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Impressive 12-year warranty. In a few online reviews, buyers have complained of creaking. The slats are spaced 3 inches apart, but each slat is 10 inches wide. Use code WIRECUTTER25 for 25% off, which you can also apply to the full, king, and California king sizes.

Frontgate Resort Collection Bath Towel
The plushest, warmest, and thickest towel we’ve ever tested creates a luxury-hotel experience in your very own bathroom. Available in a wider variety of colors than any other towel we’ve found, it holds up for years and feels fuller and more plush with each wash.
Buying Options
Other things to know: If you prefer thinner towels, this isn’t the pick for you. Bulkier to store and wash than other options. Use code WCFEB24 for the deal price and free shipping.
Read our review of the best bath towel.
Zeroll 1020 Original Ice Cream Scoop
Sometimes there’s no beating a classic, which is why we love the Zeroll ice cream scoop. Our top pick since 2013, the Zeroll will have you scooping a perfect two-ounce portion like the pros.
Other things to know: This scoop is not dishwasher-safe. Lowest price we've seen since 2022. Two ounces per scoop.
Read our review of the best ice cream scoop.
Appliance deals
Midea U MAW08V1QWT air conditioner
When you need to cool off but can’t stand a noisy racket, our top pick for best window AC is your best bet. While the installation is a bit tricky, the unique U-shaped design lets you open and close the window. Plus, it’s twice as efficient as non-inverter AC units.
Other things to know: Cleaning larger units can be challenging. One of the worst installation processes we've experienced, but we have installation tips in our guide. The new app is still working out some kinks.
Read our review of the best air conditioner.
GE GNE27J French-door refrigerator
Although this sleek French-door model takes up a bit more space, it’s a fantastic option if you want a fridge that doesn’t have smart-home-enabled features and Wi-Fi connectivity. It provides twice as much ice as our top pick, and it has more-versatile shelving.
Other things to know: Not quite as quiet or as energy-efficient as our top pick. One-year warranty on refrigerator, five-year warranty on compressor and cooling system. Price reflects in-cart and includes a $29 delivery fee.
Read our review of the best French-door refrigerators.
Tech deals
Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light
Chic and compact, this handy reading light boasts the most light customization of all our picks. It’s a breeze to use and adjust for both paperback and hardcover books, with a slim clip and a power indicator to monitor its battery life.
Other things to know: Small size, and the buttons can be a bit too sensitive when you’re adjusting clip placement. Use promo code WIRECUTTER20 to get the deal. New low price.
Read our review of the best reading light.
TCL Q6 LCD/LED TV (55-inch)
Gaming on a budget is tough, but it's doable with the help of a TV like the TCL Q6. Despite lacking some of the higher-end tech of more expensive TV’s, it provides 4K video at a native 60 Hz, and 1080p and 1440p at 120 Hz.
Other things to know: Lacks local dimming and mini-LED technology. 60 Hz refresh rate. Doesn’t have the HDMI 2.1 inputs to take full advantage of current-gen consoles. We don’t recommend the Q6 if your priority is a more-cinematic TV and movie watching.
Read our review of the best gaming TV for the PS5 & Xbox Series X.
Anker 555 USB-C Hub (8-in-1)
A good USB hub offers useful extra ports for your laptop without causing a fuss. Powerful enough to be on your desk full-time, the Anker 555 supports 4K video at 60 Hz, guaranteeing smooth scrolling on supported displays—a rarity among most hubs in this category.
Other things to know: Formerly known as the PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD 10Gbps Data Hub. The two side-by-side USB-A ports are somewhat cramped. Gets hot during use, but not to a dangerous level.
Read our review of the best USB hubs.
Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)
If you have a USB-C based iPad and want all the bells and whistles for your stylus, the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen can’t be beat. With pressure sensitivity, magnetic charging, and a tap system for toggling settings, it’s the best option for professional illustrators and artists.
Other things to know: Only compatible with iPads that have USB-C ports (and not the most recent 10th generation iPad); doesn’t work with older iPads.
Read our review of the best stylus for your iPad.
