  2. And mattresses on Memorial Day. Why? I'm not sure, but it is traditionally the sales event where the manufacturers offer the deepest discounts, and the retailers pile more on top to compete with each other! And since most quality mattresses are actually made to order, it's not to clear out excess inventory!
