Labor Day is over and so are these deals. If you're still looking to save some money, come check out the Wirecutter Deals page for big discounts.

While the waking world often leaves us wanting and weary, sleep is the realm in which we can find peace and rest. Unfortunately, getting a good night’s sleep isn’t as easy as simply turning off the lights. So if you’re one of the 70 million Americans (including myself) who suffer from one form of a chronic sleeping issue or another, you know the value of solid shut-eye. While we can’t guarantee that any of our picks will book you an immediate appointment with the Sandman, we can at least help you save some money on your quest to rest. Here are 19 deals on Wirecutter’s best picks for helping you feel rested and ready to take on the day.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress (queen) Deal price: $1,000 with code WIRECUTTER; street price: $1,660

The Leesa Sapira Hybrid is our longtime top pick for the best memory foam mattress that you can buy online. It comes with a foolproof 100-day trial period and 10-year warranty, so you don’t have to worry if it’s not the right fit. Combining the best components of memory foam and spring mattresses, the Leesa is an 11-inch hybrid mattress with over 1,000 springs and four layers of CertiPUR-US-certified memory foam. Use code WIRECUTTER to get the deal, which includes two (untested) down-alternative pillows.

Saatva Classic Mattress (queen) Deal price: $1,250; street price: $1,550

The Saatva Classic is the most affordable innerspring mattress we’ve found that still looks and feels luxurious. Offering a classic innerspring bounce paired with a cushy but understated Euro top, the Saatva Classic appeals to those who want to nestle in, as opposed to feel engulfed. However, it doesn’t have the best motion isolation. The Classic comes in three different firmness levels and all are discounted with this deal.

WinkBeds The WinkBed (queen, luxury firm) Deal price: $1,345 with code WCLD; street price: $1,550

Featuring a dense polyfoam upper layer with a base layer of extra pocketed coils, the WinkBed provides plenty of bounce while still having a bit more cushion. With excellent motion isolation and edge support combined with a 120-night trial period, four-month satisfaction guarantee, and a lifetime warranty, the WinkBed is an excellent option for back-, front-, and side-sleepers. Just make sure to use code WCLD to get the deal price.

Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow (standard) Deal price: $75 with code WCSLEEP; street price: $90

One of our top bed-pillow picks, the Easy Breather offers great support with removable shredded-foam fill that’s perfect for finding the exact amount of softness you need. Extremely comfortable and perfect for back and side sleepers, the Easy Breather also comes with a two-year warranty and lacks the chemical smell that plagues many other shredded-foam pillows. Be sure to use the code WCSLEEP for the deal price (the code also applies to the Queen and Side Sleeper, which it brings down to $85, and the King, which it brings down to $95).

Ecosa Pillow Deal price: $68 with code WCSLEEP; street price: $80

This memory-foam pillow is our favorite for those suffering from neck, shoulder, or arm pain. Extremely customizable, this pillow is the best contoured memory-foam pillow for most body types. Ecosa offers a 100-night return policy, so you can try this pillow risk free. The Ecosa pillow is back down to the previous low of $68 with the code WCSLEEP.

L.L.Bean 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set (queen) Deal price: $135 with code WCSLEEP15; street price: $159

A long-standing favorite of ours, this supple and breathable percale set from L.L.Bean has been our top cotton-sheets pick for over four years. These sheets have a durable construction that only gets softer with each wash. A set of high-quality sheets can drastically change how you view your bedroom. Down to $135 in the queen size when you use the code WCSLEEP15, this promotion applies discounts to all sizes of this cool and crisp cotton sheet set.

Cultiver Linen Sheets Set With Pillowcases (queen) Deal price: $308 with code WCSLEEP; street price: $385

Our top linen-sheets pick was one of the softest options we tested, and they weren’t accompanied by some of the durability complaints we saw with other linen sheet sets. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases. Down to $308 in the queen size when you use code WCSLEEP, this deal matches the previous best price we’ve seen. The discount code also works for all other sizes and available colors.

L.L.Bean 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Comforter Cover (queen) Deal price: $118 with code WCSLEEP15; street price: $139

The L.L.Bean 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Comforter Cover is our hard-wearing duvet cover pick. We’d invest in this duvet cover if kids or pets share your bed. It’s made from our favorite cotton percale sheeting, and we know the fabric will weather years of abuse and frequent washings, possibly lasting longer than other covers. It’s back down to $118 in the queen size using code WCSLEEP15, but this code works for all sizes and color options.

Cultiver Linen Duvet Cover (queen) Deal price: $208 with code WCSLEEP; street price: $260

If you like the feel and look of linen bedding, this is a nice opportunity to save on the breathable and luxurious Cultiver Linen Duvet Cover. Adding a coarse texture and rumpled look to any bed, this airy cover’s linen is the softest we’ve tested, especially at this price point. This deal matches the lowest we’ve seen, and you can pick up the queen size of our high-quality linen duvet cover pick for $208 when you use code WCSLEEP.

Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover (queen) Deal price: $103 with code WCLABORDAYDUVET; street price: $149

The Brooklinen Classic Duvet Cover comes in many trendy colors and prints, and it boasts bigger buttons to ensure it stays secure no matter how much you toss and turn. This 100% long-staple cotton duvet cover is crisp, stylish, and most importantly, comfortable. It’s one of the least expensive covers we tried, but it feels like nice hotel bedding. Down to $103 for the queen size with code WCLABORDAYDUVET, this deal matches the best we’ve seen in recent months.

Brooklinen Down Comforter (full/queen) Deal price: $287 with code WCLABORDAY; street price: $359

We really like the 700-fill-power Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter. This high-quality option is fluffy, lightweight, and very warm on a chilly night. It comes with a one-year return policy and a two-year warranty. Unfortunately, good down comforters are never cheap, but you can get a discount on any size of the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter when you use the promo code WCLABORDAY.

Baloo Weighted Blanket (queen, 15 pounds) Deal price: $135; street price: $199

Weighted blankets are designed to wrap your body in a soothing embrace, and our low-maintenance “ quilted” pick is back on sale. Well-balanced and crisp, the 15-pound Baloo Weighted Blanket holds its own on a well-dressed bed and can go in both the washer and the dryer. Although this deal doesn’t match the previous low, it’s the best price we’ve noted since the low-maintenance Baloo Weighted Blanket saw a street-price increase.

L.L.Bean Maine Twill Blanket (full/queen) Deal price: $127 with code WCSLEEP15; street price: $149

We found that the Maine Twill Blanket snagged the least, had the best drape, and had the least amount of pilling after washing. The Maine Twill Blanket works great all year round for those in slightly colder climates, and it is a nice addition if you need some warmth on cool evenings. Back down to $127 for the full/queen size with the promo code WCSLEEP15, this is a solid discount.

Riley Textured Cotton Coverlet (queen) Deal price: $135 with code WCLDW25; street price: $180

Although the Riley Textured Cotton Coverlet isn’t the softest pick in our guide to the best blankets, its breezy texture, ability to layer, and wide selection of colors and sizes make it a great option for those who sleep warm. This casual ribbed coverlet has a thick cotton top backed with a layer of gauze, which makes it durable but still airy to sleep under. The queen size is back down to $135 with code WCLDW25.

Loftie Clock Deal price: $112 with code WCLABORDAY; street price: $140

Offering a night-light, a selection of alarm tones, meditation soundscapes, and background-noise generators, the Loftie is perfect for those who enjoy falling asleep or waking up to ambient music and nature sounds. The display is easy to read and sets the time automatically when connected to your Wi-Fi. While we’ve seen it at this price before, it rarely drops lower and has only gone as low as $110 in our records.

Eyebuydirect Blue Light Lens Glasses 40% off + Free Shipping Deal price: $31 with code WCBLUE40; street price: $51

Eyebuydirect offers a wide variety of designs and lenses, has excellent customer service, and a 14-day return policy—this promo is all about sleep, though, as it's blue light lens glasses-specific. Right now, the promo code WCBLUE40 will get you 40% off your blue light lens glasses order with free shipping. The discount doesn't apply to Ray Ban or Oakley frames and there's a six frame limit, but this discount is better than we typically see (exact pricing depends on your selection).

Lunya The Robe Deal price: $200 with code FOR-WIRECUTTER-LABORDAY; street price: $250

Lunya’s robe stands out for its dramatic cut, high-low hemline, and double-duty collar. The other robes we’ve picked have traditional designs and straightforward details, but this one (the most expensive pick in our guide to the best robes) is pure fashion and clever comfort. Made of thin cotton French terry, the robe hugs the body and stays cool in hot weather. Just make sure to use code FOR-WIRECUTTER-LABORDAY to get the deal price.

Brooklinen Waffle Robe Deal price: $79 with code WCLABORDAY; street price: $90

If you want to bring the spa home, we like the Brooklinen Waffle Robe. Offering a soft and spongy honeycombed texture, this waffle robe feels thick and warm inside and out. It’s not as plush as terry cloth but is made of the softest waffle fabric we tested and was plenty absorbent without feeling too soggy when wet. Make sure to use the code WCLABORDAY at checkout to snag the discounted price.

Frontgate Resort Bath Towel Deal price: $29 with code WCTOWEL22; street price: $38

We’ve researched hundreds of towels and tested dozens, and we’ve recommended the Frontgate Resort Bath Towel since 2017 because it’s the softest, warmest, and most durable we’ve found. Thicker than our other picks, it feels luxe and substantial, like a high-quality hotel towel. Remove any existing codes from your cart to apply WCTOWEL22 at checkout (one code per transaction). This deal matches the best we’ve seen in over a year and comes with free shipping.

Frontgate Resort Bath Mat Deal price: $39 with code WCMAT22; street price: $50

Down to $39 shipped with the code WCMAT22, the Frontgate Resort Bath Mat feels great underfoot without being so bulky that it doesn’t fit under lower clearance doors. While it doesn’t grip as well as some of our other picks—mainly because it doesn’t have a nonslip backing—it was able to absorb some of the most water without becoming overly soggy.
