The early 4th of July mattress deals have begun, and this sizzling summer sale is one of the best times to invest in a smart cooling mattress. As each night is getting hotter than the last, I'm using the one sleep gadget I know will keep me cool: my Eight Sleep Pod. Latest Eight Sleep model Pod 5, now down to $2,749 (was $2,999) in a queen at Eight Sleep, is deigned for providing optimal cooling.

While Eight Sleep is the brand behind our top choice in out top-rated best smart mattress guide, it's not the only highly-rated cooling smart cooling bed on sale this weekend. Major brands such as Tempur-Pedic are also offering deals that are worth buying this 4th of July.

Lucky for you, I've been tracking the 4th July mattress sales to bring you all the best savings on smart cooling mattresses and mattress covers used by tech-bros, A-list celebs, and elite athletes — so you can start sleeping soundly no matter the temperature.

4 smart cooling mattress deals to shop now

1. Eight Sleep  Pod 5 (queen)
Best overall
Save $250
1. Eight Sleep Pod 5 (queen): was $2,999 now $2,749 at Eight Sleep US

Eight Sleep is the leading brand in active in-bed climate control. At $2,999 for a queen at MSRP, and a subscription fee required to access all features, the Pod 5 smart mattress cover (the upgraded of the Eight Sleep Pod 4 our team reviewed) is not cheap. But there's $250 off in Eight Sleep sales this 4th July and new customers can unlock up to $600 off if you sign up to promotional emails. Luckily you don't need the subscription for manual temperature control (meaning you can fine tune the temperature of each side of the bed between 55°F and 110°F through the mobile app) but for sleep tracking and automatic temperature adjustments through the night, you'll have to pay at least $17 a month.

2. Tempur-Pedic ActiveBreeze Smart Bed (queen)
Best luxury
Save $507.50
2. Tempur-Pedic ActiveBreeze Smart Bed (queen): was $10,398 now $9,890.50 at Tempur-Pedic

Featuring NASA-developed foams, Tempur-Pedic beds are scientifically designed to bring sleepers ultimate comfort, and the brand's smart mattress, the Tempur-ActiveBreeze Smart Bed, takes that to a whole new dimension. The bed's ActiveAir Technology allows you to cool down (or heat up) your side of the bed by 30°F. This 4th July, you can save up to $1,000 (the discount applied to a split Cal king) in Tempur-Pedic mattress sales. After $500 off, a queen size is down to $9,898 from $10,398; it's "expensive but worth the money," according to customers. Plus you get a $300 gift to spend at Tempur-Pedic (free Luxe Egyptian Cotton Sheets? Yes please), an adjustable smart base allowing you to raise the head or foot, and white glove delivery included meaning you needn't worry about setting up this tech-packed bed in your bedroom; the couriers will do it for you.

3. Sleep Number  Climate360 Smart Bed (queen)
Best adjustable firmness
Save $1,499.85
3. Sleep Number Climate360 Smart Bed (queen): was $9,999 now $8,499.15 at Sleep Number

You may have heard the news that Sleep Number has filed for bankruptcy, but as Sleep Country Canada is set to acquire the brand, it's still safe to buy a Sleep Number smart mattress. If keeping cool is the top of your sleep priority list, the Sleep Number Climate360 is a great shout. Like the Tempur-ActiveBreeze above, you can quickly adjust the temperature of the Climate360 by 30°F, but the Sleep Number mattress also offers adjustable firmness alongside heat and foot raises. This makes it a great pick for couples with different sleep positions and body types who can't agree on a mattress firmness level.

4. Chilipad by Sleep Chilipad 1.0 (queen)
Best for solo sleepers
Save $511.50
4. Chilipad by Sleep Chilipad 1.0 (queen): was $2,499 now $1,987.50 at Chilipad by Sleepme

Warning: you need to act fast on this one. It's a while stocks last kind of deal as the original Chilipad has been replaced by the Chilipad 2.0. If you catch this 4th July deal in time, you can score up to $540 off the clinician-approved Chilipad water-powered cooling system and adjust the surface of your bed between between 55°F and 115°F. Perfect for solo sleepers, there's also the option to buy half queen, half king, and half Cal king sizes so you're not wasting electricity cooling down the vacant side of bed. A half queen costs just $1,039 now down from $1,299. It's a mattress cover like the Eight Sleep Pod (minus sleep tracking data) without any subscription fees attached.
