It's Labor Day, and like any holiday, that means there are some excellent discounts to shop on mattresses. This year's best Labor Day mattress sales include some killer price drops on memory foam models. 

Memory foam is designed to respond to your body heat by moulding to your exact shape, to provide custom support as you slumber. They tend to really shine when it comes to deep pressure relief, making them a good choice for those who suffer from sore joints. The degree to which you'll sink into your mattress depends on the model you go for – you might want a softer memory foam mattress that envelopes your limbs, or a firmer one that you sleep 'on' rather than 'in'. We have both kinds in this roundup. 

While cheap or old memory foam mattresses can have a tendency to trap heat, things have come a long way since the early days of memory foam, with newer and pricier versions typically include materials designed to dissipate body heat and stop you from getting too warm at night. 

If you're not sure which model you need, our best memory foam mattress guide runs down our top picks across the market – or if you're not 100% sure on memory foam, check out our general best mattress guide for a variety of enormously comfortable options. Now let's run down the 5 best memory foam mattress deals for this Labor Day.
