Mattress Firm gives verified teachers, staff, and college students an extra 20% off qualifying purchases. Verification runs through ID.me, and the code is single-use, though you can re-verify every 90 days for a new one.
Mattress Firm is one of the largest mattress retailers in the country, carrying its own house brands alongside major names like Purple, Tempur-Pedic, and Sealy. It grew into its current size partly through consolidation, having absorbed several other mattress retail chains over the years.
How To Get The Mattress Firm Teacher Discount
- Verify your teacher status through ID.me, using your school email and documentation if needed.
- Receive a single-use coupon code by email.
- Apply it in store or at MattressFirm.com.
Exclusions and Re-Verification
Eligibility is broader than teachers alone: Mattress Firm’s own terms name “currently registered full time and part time college students, as well as teachers, faculty, and staff of K-12 schools and degree-granting colleges/universities.” The offer excludes select brands and items, cannot be combined with other promotions, and each code is valid for one use and expires. You can re-verify every 90 days to get a fresh code if you need to make another purchase later.
Mattress Firm’s own terms read confusingly about Purple mattresses specifically: the same paragraph grants “an extra 10% off Purple with offer code” in its first sentence, then names “Purple®” again later in a list excluding several premium brands from the general 20%. The most likely honest read is that Purple, like those other listed brands, doesn’t qualify for the full 20%, but does get its own separate 10% rate as the first sentence states, rather than nothing at all. Confirm at checkout to be sure. The 20% figure on other qualifying brands isn’t in question either way.
Q&A
Q: How much is the Mattress Firm teacher discount?
A: An extra 20% off qualifying purchases. Purple mattresses are named separately at 10%, in wording confusing enough that it’s worth confirming at checkout rather than assuming.
Q: Can I combine this with a sale?
A: No, it cannot be combined with other promotions.
Q: How often can I use it?
A: The code is single-use, but you can re-verify every 90 days for a new one.
Q: Does it work in store and online?
A: Yes, both in store and at MattressFirm.com.
Q: Does the 20% apply to Purple mattresses sold at Mattress Firm?
A: No, but Purple gets its own separate 10% rate per the same terms, distinct from the 20% that applies to other qualifying brands. The wording is confusing enough (Purple is named in an exclusions list too) that it’s worth confirming at checkout.
Q: Does the discount apply to adjustable bases and bedding accessories, or just mattresses?
A: Not stated separately; Mattress Firm’s page frames the offer broadly, so confirm at checkout which categories are included.
Q: Can I use this in a Mattress Firm outlet or clearance location?
A: Not confirmed; check with the specific location, since outlet and clearance pricing sometimes runs under different rules than full-price stores.
More Information:
For a Purple mattress specifically, our Purple Mattress teacher discount page covers Purple’s own direct-site rate, which has no such contradiction. Confirmed directly on Mattress Firm’s own teacher discount page, including the self-contradicting Purple language quoted above. Terms can change.
Mattress Firm also offers its own sleep trial and comfort exchange program on most mattresses, a separate policy from the teacher discount, worth checking at the time of purchase since terms vary by brand within the store.
Mattress Firm’s house brands (like its own in-house sleep systems) sit alongside licensed national brands in the same stores, which is part of why the discount rate isn’t uniform: Mattress Firm sets its own terms for its house brands, while national brands like Purple negotiate their own rate independently.
