November is here, and bargain-hunters across the country are readying themselves for the biggest sales event of the year: Black Friday.
The shopping party of the year is back again, and the timing couldn’t be better. Who isn’t hunting for a bargain with headlines as they are?
If you’ve never taken part in the Black Friday sales, this year offers more incentive than most. The Black Friday extravaganza is the ultimate time to bag expensive items that need replacing around the house - think fridge freezers, washing machines and mattresses.
Arguably the most important piece of furniture you’ll ever own, a great mattress is essential for health, mood and general wellbeing.
When is Cyber Monday 2022?
While the sales officially kick off on Friday, they run right the way through the weekend and finish in blazing style on Monday, when tech products traditionally take the sales spotlight. This year the date for Cyber Monday is November 28.
If you’re hoping to scoop discounts on all things tech, Cyber Monday is your best bet.

ES Best pick of the best mattresses to shop this Black Friday
Ergoflex 5G Mattress
Giving hotel room beds a run for their money, Ergoflex makes some of the best mattresses in the biz.
Not to be confused with the cellular network, the 5G model combines a premium proprietary foam promising support and comfort “from head-to-toe”. The five layers each add an unmissable quality that relieves pressure on the body and encourages you to drift off into a sound slumber.
First and foremost, the Tencel outer cover works to protect the mattress itself but it does so much more. It has a vented construction at the ends with 3D mesh panels to disperse the heat so you won’t feel hot and bothered in the night. The top memory foam layer contours to your body but just the right amount so as not to affect your partner if you move around.
At the core, breathability is the utmost concern. At 9cm, the trademarked Cool-Sleep layer creates an airflow to stop the build up of heat. This is done through an open-cell memory foam that prevents the retention of hot air more efficiently than any previous model.
Ideal for aches and pains, the mattress has orthopaedic pressure-relief. It is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial and there’s a 10-year warranty.

Nectar Mattress
Best foam mattress for: a plush surface/back sleepers
This highly supportive mattress from British brand Nectar has one of the comfiest surfaces to lie on we’ve encountered: a cover so lush, we fell asleep on it face-down, before we’d even managed to put a sheet over it. Such are the occupational hazards of a mattress reviewer.
Not only is the cover of the Nectar mattress comfy; it’s also cooling, when it needs to be. The fabric used is a temperature-sensitive polymer, which provides a cooling effect that increases in-step with the temperature.
We found the Nectar especially comfortable when sleeping on our backs.
was: £749
Buy now £374.50, Nectar
Simba Hybrid Luxe Mattress
There’s not one but 10 layers in Simba’s Hybrid Luxe Mattress to give you the restful slumber that you deserve.
Dubbed the brand’s most advanced mattress yet, there’s a 10 year guarantee and 200 night trial. That’s how confident the brand is that you will love this product.
Let us break it down for you. It begins with an open-cell casing that has a cross-construction in order to encourage airflow. This is followed by a bamboo wool layer that has a sumptuous silk-like feel. You may or may not know that bamboo wool is beloved for its antibacterial properties as well as its insulating abilities to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The fabric is also highly sweat absorbent to evaporate sweat from the body.
Next up, the brand’s signature Simbra-Pure foam layer which is also open cell. Two layers of springs are below this, then a level for support and additional high carbon steel springs. You will then find another supportive layer below and last but not least, you have the base. All combined, it promises a comfortable, supportive and cool eight hours.

Emma Original Hybrid
Can’t decide between a foam or a pocket sprung mattress? Emma has this hybrid model that has the best of both worlds.
As well as great support, the model is designed to maximise breathability through open-pored foams. The Airgocell foam has a patented construction and is like a gel for air circulation. There are in fact two layers of this within the mattress, where the second adds support and a heat release to the edges of the mattress. These layers are alongside pocket springs that have an extra tall design and are well placed in order to encourage temperature dispersion and to be moisture-wicking.
There’s also a layer of visco-elastic memory foam that evenly distributes weight across the length of the product and relieves pressure on the body and HRX foam to prioritise the perfect alignment of your body.
Try it out for 200 nights risk-free and with a money-back guarantee.
