Why This Black Friday Is the Best Time to Upgrade Your Sleep Setup

Posted by Elizabeth Larsen on

Black Friday is here, and while everyone else is rushing for TVs and tech, the smartest shoppers are investing in something even more valuable: better sleep. Whether you’re a student gearing up for finals or a parent looking to surprise your college kid with the ultimate dorm comfort upgrade, Sleepyhead’s Black Friday sale is the perfect time to make it happen.

For years, students have called Sleepyhead the best college mattress topper — and for good reason. We’ve spent over a decade perfecting comfort, cooling, and durability so you can finally get the kind of sleep that makes 8 a.m. classes bearable and Sunday mornings even sweeter.

This Black Friday, that comfort is more affordable than ever.


Why Sleep Should Be Your #1 Investment This Season

Let’s be honest — most college mattresses are the opposite of comfortable. They’re thin, stiff, and have probably been there longer than your major has existed. But here’s the thing: your sleep impacts everything. Focus, grades, mood, immune system… it all starts with how well you rest.

That’s why thousands of students and parents have turned to Sleepyhead mattress toppers as an easy, dorm-approved way to transform a bed completely. No tools, no complicated setup — just unpack, unroll, and enjoy five-star comfort that feels like home.

And this Black Friday, that transformation costs a whole lot less.


Why Black Friday Is the Best Time to Buy

There’s a reason Sleepyhead’s Black Friday sale is our most popular event of the year. We offer our deepest discounts on all mattress toppers, including the hard-to-find Twin XL size that’s perfect for dorms and college apartments.

If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your bed, or to help your student finally get better sleep, now’s the time. Our Black Friday mattress topper deals don’t just save you money — they help you start every night (and every day) feeling better.

Here’s what you can expect this season:

  • Can’t-miss deals during our Sleepyhead Black Friday Sale

  • Limited inventory on Copper and Super Toppers — and they go fast every year

  • Exclusive early access for the Sleepyhead community before the sale opens to the public

If you’ve ever wondered when to grab a Sleepyhead, the answer is simple — Black Friday is it.


NEW: The Sleepyhead Mattress: First Edition — Now Available

This year marks an exciting milestone: after perfecting comfort for over a decade, we created the Sleepyhead Mattress: First Edition — our first-ever full mattress designed for balanced support, cooling, and long-lasting durability.

Built with premium materials and thoughtfully engineered layers, the Sleepyhead Mattress delivers a modern, hotel-level sleep experience designed to work in a wide range of home settings.

Here’s what makes it special:

  • Adaptive foam layers that provide contouring comfort without excess sink

  • CoolTech comfort technology to help maintain a comfortable temperature through the night

  • High-quality construction designed for long-term performance

  • A premium feel without the premium price tag

  • A limited First Edition release, available only while supplies last

If you’re looking for a completely refreshed sleep experience from top to bottom, the First Edition Mattress is the newest way to bring Sleepyhead comfort into your home.


Which Sleepyhead Topper Is Right for You?

Not all sleepers are the same, and not all toppers are either. That’s why we created three unique styles — each designed to solve a different sleep problem. If you’re not sure which one fits your sleep style, take our quick Topper Quiz to find your perfect match.

Gel Topper — The Cool Sleeper’s Choice

Hot sleeper? You’ll love this one. Our Gel Mattress Topper is infused with cooling gel to regulate temperature all night long. It’s soft, supportive, and ideal for anyone who wakes up too warm — especially in humid dorms and apartments.

Copper Topper — Clean, Fresh, and Supportive

Naturally antimicrobial and odor-resistant, the Copper Topper helps keep your sleep space cleaner and more breathable — a must for shared spaces or small dorm rooms. The copper-infused foam provides balanced, medium support ideal for all sleeping positions.

Super Topper™ — The Ultimate Comfort Upgrade

Our most popular topper. The Super Topper™ combines cooling gel, antimicrobial copper, and dual-layer support for a luxury hotel feel. If you want a topper that practically turns a dorm bed into a brand-new mattress, this is it.


How to Make the Most of Black Friday Savings

The best Black Friday deals don’t last long — and our toppers often sell out before the weekend ends. Here’s how to shop smart:

  • Shop early. Once your size or style is gone, restocks may not happen until next semester.

  • Sign up for early access. Subscribers always get first pick.

  • Double-check your dorm bed size. Most use Twin XL, but always confirm.

  • Grab your discount code. Make sure to use it before the sale ends.


The Gift of Better Sleep

If you’re shopping for someone else this holiday season, Sleepyhead makes the ultimate practical gift. Parents love giving our toppers and mattresses to college students, and students love waking up without back pain or restless nights.

Every Sleepyhead topper includes a 5-year foam warranty, a 6-month cover warranty, and a 60-night risk-free trial — because we’re confident you’ll love it.


The Bottom Line

This Black Friday, skip the chaos and shop smarter. While everyone else is fighting over electronics, you can stay cozy in bed and upgrade your sleep for years to come.

Sleepyhead’s Black Friday sale is live — and it’s your once-a-year chance to experience luxury-level comfort for less, whether you choose a topper or our brand-new mattress.

Better sleep starts here.
Shop the sale, take the quiz, and see why Sleepyhead is the #1 choice for college comfort.
