Details & Frequently Asked Questions

What products qualify for Tax Free?

Any individual items purchased that cost less than $2,500 qualify for tax-free savings on August 9th and 10th.

What if I purchase multiple items that each cost $2,500 or less, but the total price is more than $2,500? 

If the price of each individual item is $2,500 or less, you can combine as many items as you want, tax-free, even if the combined items cost more than $2,500.

For example, if you purchase the following:

• Queen-sized Fairhaven Mattress: $2,499

• Queen-sized Adjustable S-Scape Base: $1,499

• Frio Mattress Protector: $149

• 2 Cooling Gel Pillows: $149 each

• TOTAL: $4,450

While the total is over the $2,500 threshold, each individual line item is less than $2,500. Therefore, you will pay zero Massachusetts state tax!

What if I spend more than $2,500 on an item?

The only products we carry that cost more than $2,500 are King-sized Mattresses from our Black Collection.

In this case, we do have to pay the sales tax on this product but not you! We will be happy to offer you a ‘tax discount’ of 6.25% on these products.

What is the average delivery & lead time to getting my purchase from Tax Free Weekend?

Saturday Tax-Free Sales: 3-5 weeks

Sunday Tax-Free Sales: 5-7 Weeks

What if I live in a state other than Massachusetts?

All out of state customer must pick up their order in store. Out of state delivery is not legal without charging sales tax.

Example: a customer who lives in Connecticut can order a mattress from us, then can receive it tax free but must pickup at on of our showrooms. If we delivery or ship out of state, then their sales tax must be collected to that state we deliver to.

Does the tax-free savings count online as well?

Yes! Any purchases made on our Yankee Mattress website from customers with delivery or pickup in Massachusetts on Saturday August 9 or Sunday August 10, will be exempt from paying the Massachusetts state tax.

What happens if I exchange or return an item once the sales tax holiday has ended?

No tax is due even if the exchange is made after the holiday. You will not be subject to the tax retroactively.
