March is National Sleep Awareness Month, and this week specifically is Sleep Awareness Week. I, for one, have never been more aware of my sleep. I’ve been on a mission to improve mine. Every element of your bed can factor into your quality of sleep, from your mattress to your sheets to your blankets. Don’t even get me started on pillows. If your sleep setup could use an upgrade, some of our favorite products are on sale. We’ve hand-tested all of these and would recommend them to our friends. We’ll keep this story updated throughout the month.
Note that the prices below are based on the manufacturer’s list price and reflective of the queen size where applicable.
Need some recommendations? We’ve got you covered. Check our guides to the Best Mattresses, Best Mattress Toppers, Best Pillows, Best Sheets, and Best Down Comforters.

Mattress and Mattress Topper Deals

This is just slightly more expensive than the deal we saw during President’s Day, but it’s still a nice discount on our very favorite mattress. This mattress pairs a medium-firm feel with a nice plush top that doesn’t sink over time or get too hot while you’re sleeping. It’ll work well for back, stomach, and side sleepers, and the individually wrapped springs are dispersed smartly so you have more support where you need it.
The Naturepedic EOS mattress has many internal layers that can be customized to your heart’s content. Make it firmer or softer by unzipping the cover and adding or removing latex layers to create your ideal firmness. You can swap layers for free for the first 100 days, so you’ve got a large window of time to dial it in just right. The mattress is made with organic cotton, wool, and latex, and you can even choose different default firmnesses for each side of the bed in case your bedmate prefers a different setup. You’ll also get a free waterproof mattress pad. This sale ends on March 24.
All right, I’m gonna be honest here—this isn’t the best deal on Avocado’s Green Mattress. It was $100 cheaper around President’s Day a couple of weeks ago, and it will probably be less expensive on Memorial Day. But if you’re in need of an excellent organic mattress right this very second, you can still save some cash through March 24. It’s one of the Best Organic Mattresses, and it strikes a super-balanced firmness level that’ll work both for people who prefer a firm mattress and those who prefer a softer one.

The Birch Luxe is our favorite organic mattress overall. It’s got a good medium-firm feel that’ll appeal to everyone, no matter how they sleep (even if they like to rotate around like a human rotisserie chicken). The individually wrapped coils are topped with latex, wool, and a cotton cover. They offer good lumbar support and edge support, and you won’t sink into the mattress and wake up with lower back pain—and you also won’t get shoulder stiffness like you might with a firmer mattress. Expect a solid night’s sleep, no matter what that looks like for you.
The Leesa Sapira Chill is our favorite mattress for problem sleepers, and if you don’t want to pay the $212 upcharge for additional cooling and a quilted top, we still like the base Sapira model. The foam layers and wrapped coils help offer additional support where you need it, keeping your spine nice and aligned without being too stiff on the rest of your body.
Awara mattresses are more affordable than some other organic mattresses we like, though if you’ve got more room in your budget we also recommend the Premier Luxury Hybrid (on sale for $1,299). The cheaper organic mattress has a better discount based on historical pricing—it’s $100 cheaper than we usually see during sales. It’s got a soft quilted top made of wool and rayon, and the inside contains organic foam and coils. It’s supportive and bouncy, though we wish it had better edge support. It also has handles on the sides, which make it easier to move than other picks we’ve tested.
Birch makes our favorite mattress topper. It’s a combination of cotton, wool, and latex that manages to be soft and plush while still offering support and pressure relief. It worked well for WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell, a side sleeper, and her husband, who sleeps on his back. The 2-inch topper has a 100-night trial, and despite its lack of straps, it doesn’t move around on top of the bed.
Sheets and Pillow Deals

Cozy Earth makes the softest bamboo sheets we’ve tested, but they’re pricey. Use our code WIRED to get 30 percent off these and other Cozy Earth products (we also like these fuzzy slippers and the brand’s resort-worthy pajamas). These sheets are downright luxurious. They feel cool as you slip into bed and warm up quickly—WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell described it as feeling like you’re surrounded by melted butter. (I also sleep on these sheets and can’t rave about them enough.) They also have deep pockets that fit mattresses up to 20 inches tall. This sale ends on March 15.
This is our very favorite down pillow. It feels like a hotel pillow, offering a mix of both softness and support. The inner structure is nested to help ensure the pillow holds its shape while still cradling your head. That means it won’t transform from fluffy to flat as soon as you lay your head down. The 20 percent discount will apply automatically at checkout, and it extends to nearly everything else on the website. This sale ends on March 15.
We recommend a ton of Brooklinen sheet sets. This 300-thread-count organic cotton set is soft and silky, but not overly so, and is made from Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified organic cotton and is Oeko-Tex certified. Brooklinen also has a 300 thread count. Other sets we like are also on sale, including the Heathered Cashmere Sheets for $263 ($88 off) and the Luxe Sateen Core Sheets for $150 ($38 off). This sale ends on March 19.
Ettitude’s bamboo sheets are some of the best cooling sheets we’ve tested. They’re breathable, but the bamboo in the fabric adds a touch of softness that’s harder to find with some other textiles which can be scratchy or heavy. Now is a great time to pick them up since the price is right and summer is just around the corner.
Comforter and Weighted Blanket Deals

Brooklinen’s down comforters are great. I’ve tried both the All-Season and Ultra-Warm weights, and I recommend them both. Choose the All-Season for year-round warmth or the Ultra-Warm for cold climates or winter use specifically. The crinkly, starchy sateen shell feels like a high-end hotel comforter, and the down stays evenly distributed even if you tend to shift around in your sleep a lot. I never need to fluff it up while I’m sleeping to redistribute the down clusters inside. It just keeps me warm and cozy, all night long. This sale ends on March 19.
Helix’s chunky, open-weave weighted blanket is breathable but semi-rigid, which means it won’t constantly slide off your sofa or bed and onto the floor. It adds a nice weight (10 or 15 pounds) for soothing sensations without feeling too stifling or hot, and it’s more affordable than some other weighted blankets we recommend.
Sleep Gadget and Accessory Deals

It’s a small discount, but this is the first price drop we’ve seen for the Hatch Restore 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), which was released at the beginning of the year. The Restore 3 is a sunrise alarm and a sound machine all rolled into one gadget. Using the Hatch smartphone app, you can create dedicated bedtime routines with different sound and light configurations, and there are four physical buttons on the machine that let you adjust volume, switch between routine steps, turn on the light, or switch off your alarm without needing to pick up your phone. We do wish that some of the features weren’t locked behind a Hatch+ membership, which costs $3 per month. But if you need a good sunrise alarm that can also play ocean sounds, it’s a great nightstand companion. This sale ends on March 13.
