At Consumer Reports, we usually advise you to lie on any mattress you’re considering for at least 15 minutes. But because warehouse clubs display mattresses standing up and websites offer only pictures and descriptions, you need to rely on those companies’ return policies. And from our research, buying from them is fairly low-risk. Here are three top-pick memory foam mattresses from our mattress tests that you can buy online or at Costco. This warehouse club received the second-highest satisfaction score from readers in our survey of subscribers’ experiences with mattress stores. Costco doesn’t say outright what its return policies are for mattresses, but from what we can tell, the company aims to satisfy and won’t charge for shipping and handling if you contact them within a reasonable period of time, such as a few months after purchase. That goes for the website and the stores. You don’t need to save the box. Recommended mattress from Costco: Spring Air Back Supporter Natalie, $1,200.
If you really need to try the company’s mattress, you’ll have to go to either New York City or Los Angeles for one of Casper's only physical showrooms. Casper offers just one model in six sizes. Otherwise, you get 100 nights to decide whether to keep it. If not, Casper will let you exchange or return it for your money back with no restocking or other fees. Shipping is free, too. Recommended mattress from Casper: The Casper, $850. You can try both mattress models that Tuft & Needle offers at its showroom in Phoenix, and it has a 30-night trial period. No mattresses actually go back to the company; instead, you’re asked to donate it to a charity and show the seller the receipt for a full refund—or full credit toward an exchange. (If no charity is nearby, the company will arrange to have the mattress picked up.) No need to save the packing materials. Recommended mattress from Tuft & Needle: Tuft & Needle Ten, $500.

The unofficial kickoff to summer, Memorial Day celebrates and honors American soldiers who died serving in the U.S. armed forces. Every year, Americans mark Memorial Day with parades, festivals and Memorial Day sales.
Big-box retailers and stores are usually open on this holiday, but Costco is closed. However, that does not mean you cannot save at Costco during the rest of the holiday weekend -- or even by shopping online on Monday itself. Here are the best things to buy at Costco on Memorial Day weekend. Typically, Memorial Day weekend sees some of the best sales of the year on mattresses and bed sets, said Brent Shelton, an online shopping expert with FatWallet. Costco is living up to this tradition, offering $150 off queen-size Sleep Science memory foam mattresses through May 29. If you prefer a king-size mattress, you can save $500 on a Sleep Science memory foam mattress, but only until June 15. These deals are online-only. Although Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, there is no reason you should not buy new furniture as part of your spring cleaning. You can get up to $800 off the cost of furniture at Costco this weekend. An Austin four-piece, top-grain leather living room set is priced at $2,499.99, representing a $500 price cut, said Kendal Perez, a savings expert with Coupon Sherpa.
This deal is online only. You often can get a great deal on outdoor furniture in May. Warehouse stores such as Costco tend to offer some of the best deals on patio furniture. For example, you can save around $1,000 buying a Portofino five-piece club chair set at Costco versus buying it through Amazon. For a limited time, you can save up to $600 on select Portofino patio sets before the deal ends May 29. Related: Are Banks Open on Memorial Day 2016? If you are looking for something to tie your patio together, the Aquaterra six-person hot tub might be ideal. With savings of $1,500 off the online price, this hot tub is one of the best Costco deals on the list. This deal ends on May 29. Table tennis tables can provide entertainment long after Memorial Day and well into the summer. This Memorial Day weekend is your chance to save $150 on a Kettler table tennis bundle before the deal ends May 29. Keep the kids preoccupied all Memorial Day weekend with a new outdoor play set.
Until May 29, you can take $600 off the price of a Lifetime double slide deluxe play set at Costco. This gives you a savings of $1,000 compared to buying this play set at Home Depot. Sales of barbecue grills fell in 2015 after posting solid numbers in 2014, according to the Hearth and Home trade journal. Whether this trend will affect the prices of grills in 2016 is debatable, but Costco offers affordable, high-quality grills to get Memorial Day cooking started. Costco sells the Dyna-Glo gas and charcoal grill for $499.99, less than you will pay at Walmart and Lowe's. On the higher end, the NXR stainless steel seven-burner gas grill costs $1,099.99 at Costco, beating both Amazon and eBay's listed price for the same product.

An LG three-door black stainless steel refrigerator (model LFXS30766D) is priced at $2,549.99, a $950 reduction from the original price.
"(That's) about $50 less than the next best price for this model from Home Depot," said Perez. Having a Costco membership can really pay off when it comes to buying washers and dryers this Memorial Day weekend. From now until June 8, Costco deals on washer-dryer units can save you anywhere from $270 to $700 off on brands such as Whirlpool and LG. Costco has deals on just about everything--including kitchen sinks, which are part of Costco's online-only sales this Memorial Day weekend. Savings on kitchen sinks start as low as $40 off but can run up to $220 off Hahn Chef Series single-bowl sinks. These deals expire on May 29.

And chances are good that you are going to need food for your Memorial Day weekend barbecue. Look for Instant Savings vouchers for Costco shoppers, Perez said. Perez singled out barbecue-related deals, such as $3 off Dreyer's Outshine fruit bars and $4 off Tyson panko-breaded chicken breast tenderloins, as good Memorial Day weekend Costco deals.
