The Plank Firm is a dual-sided all-foam mattress with an extra firm feel that delivers superior support to front and back sleepers. It has returned to the lowest price we've seen it at this Memorial Day, with 30% off the Plank Firm mattress at Plank. That means a queen is now $932.40 (was $1,332.)

When I tested the Plank Firm Mattress, I was skeptical. It doesn't have the 'cozy' feel I'd always associated with comfort and it was hard at first to appreciate anything but the firmness.

It's not a feel everyone will love — I recommend the Helix Dawn if you want firm, but not that firm — but with 30% off, here's why it's one of my top picks of the Memorial Day mattress sales 2025. If you are looking for an excellent price on a top rated mattress but not sold on the Plank, we're also tracking the latest deals as they happen in our Memorial Day mattress sales live blog.
