Right now we're heading towards World Sleep Day on 15 March, and we'd like to think there'd be some special sales lined up to mark the occasion, but in fact it's largely business as usual in both the US and UK.

Mattress deals tips: when and how to shop them
You should rarely have to pay the full price for a mattress because new sales are running all the time. To ensure you get the best possible deal, check the original price of the mattress on the manufacturer's website, and search for any discount codes that can be applied to bring the price down further, such as Avocado Mattress coupon codes, Nectar coupon codes and Purple promo codes.
While doing so, look out for any other incentives that are being offered – for example, some manufacturers give away bedding bundles as part of the deal. This could include their best mattress protector for safeguarding your bed from stains and spills, as well as the best pillows for comfier sleep.
Of course, even at a discounted price, mattresses are a sizeable investment so it's important that you're entirely satisfied. With this in mind, be sure to buy one from a mattress manufacturer or retailer that offers a risk-free trial period, along with a clear and fair returns policy.
You can normally find offers on the best mattress toppers during monthly mattress sales too, and these are great if you need a comfort boost for an older bed but can't stretch to a new mattress just yet.
The best mattress deals normally land towards the end of November when the Black Friday mattress deals start rolling in, as manufacturers drop their prices and serve up big discounts. These sales then roll over into the first Monday directly after Black Friday, when we see all the Cyber Monday mattress deals arrive. However traditional sales events also bring increased discounts; in the US these include Presidents' Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day, while in the UK you'll often see Boxing Day, Easter and summer sales.

Best mattress deals: how we test
Testing mattresses isn't for the faint-hearted, and at TechRadar we take it very seriously indeed. Our expert reviewers sleep on each mattress they test for at least three weeks, ensuring they try them out in every sleeping position, and often calling in volunteers to try the mattresses as well.
We rate each mattress according to the factors that will matter to you, from the basics such as design, comfort and support, through to important aspects such as temperature regulation, motion isolation and edge support, as well as details including customer service and of course price and value for money.
Although comfort can be subjective, we also run standardised tests on each mattress, using weights to accurately gauge factors such as firmness, motion isolation and edge support. And for a wider view, we also take other reviews into account where they're available.
It's hard work, but the end results are worth the effort. When you read a mattress review on TechRadar you can be sure that we've put the hours in, and that the final verdict is one that you can depend on.
Best mattress deals: how to choose
One thing we're well aware of here is that for the majority of people, choosing a new mattress can feel like a complete shot in the dark. Most of us simply aren't up to speed with what's going on in the world of mattresses; we only buy them every few years and when we do, there are so many options available that it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
However with a bit of thought it becomes easier to narrow down all the options. Think about your usual sleeping position; if you're a side sleeper, a softer mattress will suit you best, and the best memory foam mattress is more likely to give your hips and shoulders the cushioning they need. Stomach and back sleepers will get on better with firmer beds, and the best hybrid mattresses, made with both foam and springs, will provide more responsive all-over support.
Other things to bear in mind are whether you share with a restless partner, in which case you'll benefit from a mattress with strong motion isolation, while if you tend to get hot in the night there are cooling mattresses that can keep temperatures down.
Finally you should think about your budget. Basically you get what you pay for when you buy a mattress, and considering that you spend roughly a third of your life in bed, you should aim to invest in a bed that'll keep you comfortable and supported the whole time. A cheap mattress only seems like a bargain until you realise that its shortcomings are robbing you of precious sleep.
