​Happy Presidents Day - Buy A Mattress?

Since 1971, Presidents Day has been celebrated on the third Monday of February. Prior to that, it was a moving holiday celebrating the actual birthday of George Washington (February 22, 1732). In fact, according to mountvernon.org, the term "Presidents Day" has never been officially adopted, and Washington's Birthday remains the official name of the holiday (a compromise negotiated by the state of Virginia in the debate over the change of date).

There are many other interesting facts about this holiday, including that Virginia, Illinois, Iowa, and New York continue to observe state holidays named for the first president and that no birthday of any president born in February (Washington, Harrison, Lincoln, Reagan) ever falls on Presidents Day.

So, what does Presidents Day have to do with mattress sales? Nothing, really. It just provides a three-day weekend convenient for making a major purchase that often requires that two people agree on the item to be acquired. The springtime is also when mattress manufacturers announce their new lines, so older models are often offered at a discount in February. In fact, during the debate about the change of dates, it was stated that retail sales would be stimulated by more three-day weekends. At DOWNLITE you can also use the coupon code PRES20 to save 20% in the month of February.
