Many seniors are on a fixed budget. Rather than covering the entire cost up-front, most mattress brands allow purchasers to follow a payment plan, which involves paying off the mattress in monthly installments.
Another way to save money on your mattress purchase is by buying during a sale. Many mattresses go on sale during Presidents Day, the Fourth of July, Veterans Day, and Black Friday.

Typically, shoppers will need to provide verification of their military service to the company’s customer service team, which will then provide them with a promo code to use at checkout.
