Mattresses remain a popular item in this category, with retailers offering some of their most attractive offers of the season and even year on both cheap and higher-end brands. Bed blog The Best Mattress covers this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers in their latest article, "2013 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Mattress Sale Trends", giving shoppers a preview of what to expect in terms of deals and tips for choosing the best bed.

The article opens with a discussion on how sales on the holidays differ, and on the growing consumer trend towards shopping online for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with increases last year of 24% and 33% based on an article from Mashable. This growth is clearly being noticed by retailers, many of whom are placing emphasis on online deals or offering early Black Friday sales online in 2013.

The Best Mattress then explores the trends for Black Friday mattress deals specifically, based on mattress deals posted to BlackFridayMattress.org, news sources and advertisements. The key trends highlighted include offers of free boxsprings or foundations with mattress purchase, dollar and percent off discounts, mail-in rebates and free product offers, and limited-time promotional mattresses. For each trend, the blog lists retailer's offers, with a brief overview of starting dates also included.
