I used to scroll right past all the Memorial Day mattress ads.
You know the ones — “Biggest Mattress Sale of the Year!” or “Up to $2,000 Off!”
Every. Single. Year.
I always assumed it was just a retail gimmick — a bunch of stores in Franklin and Murfreesboro throwing out flashy signs to move slow inventory. But last year, my old mattress was done for, so I figured I’d check out what was out there before summer hit.
I stopped by Mattress Gallery Direct in Murfreesboro and ended up finding a real deal. Not just a low price — I’m talking about an actual quality mattress that felt amazing, had real support, and came with a legit warranty. I saved a few hundred bucks and didn’t feel like I was getting hustled.

Apparently, this is the time of year when new models start rolling in, so brands and local stores slash prices to clear space. It’s why the Memorial Day mattress sale thing is actually a thing — and not just hype.
The store was super laid-back, the staff knew their stuff, and they even delivered it fast and with a smile. Honestly, the whole experience was so smooth that this year I already know where I’m going for a mattress for my kid. He’s due for an upgrade, and I’m not wasting time shopping all over again.

Bottom line?
If you’re anywhere near Murfreesboro, Franklin, or Smyrna, Tennessee, and thinking about upgrading your mattress — don’t ignore the Memorial Day sales.
They’re real. And if you want quality, local help, Mattress Gallery Direct is the spot.
It’s best to go in and talk to one of their specialists — but if you want to check them out first, I’d go to their website and see which store is closest to your home.
