LIVE: 4th of July mattress sales 2025 — today's best deals on beds, bedding, and sleep tech

That's all, folks!

Time for me to call it a day. The Tom's Guide Sleep Team will be back tomorrow morning to share even more great July 4th mattress and bedding deals, shopping tips, and other news. Later! 👋

How to find secret discount codes for top-selling sleep products

There’s nothing like a good discount code to bring the price of your mattress down, but you usually don't have to do much work. Most brands nowadays will plaster the code all over their website — and many even apply the code to your cart automatically.

It doesn’t feel like you’ve unlocked any special or secret discount. It just feels like a marketing tool to psych you up for impulse buying.

However, there are some discount codes that not everyone knows about that our expert team has scouted for you. Here are some hidden codes you can use right now to save some extra cash:

• Tempur-Pedic: 40% mattress toppers with code TOPPERS40
• Helix: 27% off mattresses, mattress toppers, and bedding with code TOMS27
• Birch: 27% off organic mattresses and bed toppers with code TOMS27
• Linenspa: 15% off the Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid with code TAKE15
• Layla: Extra $10 mattresses and bedding with code Future10Off

Casper has one of my all-time favorite cooling mattresses on clearance

If you're a fan of Casper's past-season mattresses, browse its clearance section for 40% to 50% off the MSRP.

One of my favorite mattresses that I've ever tested is the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow, which was phased out last year for the current Casper Snow Max. To sum up my Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress review in three words: supportive, comforting, coool. (You can still check out the long-form review, too, if you'd like.)

Casper Wave Hybrid Snow (twin XL): was $3,095 now $1,547.50 at Casper
Yes, you're still paying a premium even after 50% off, but it's around $500 less than the current Snow Max. Also, if you're a back sleeper or a lighter stomach sleeper, the Wave Hybrid Snow's medium-firm feel will be a better fit for your preferences, as the Snow Max has a "gooier" surface that's better suited to side sleeping. Some more caveats: the only other size on offer is full (although there are occasional restocks), and you can't return the mattress for any reason. A 5-year limited warranty is included.

Meanwhile, you can shop the rest of Casper's clearance sale for up to 75% off pillows, blankets, and bed frames.

How to sleep during the 4th of July fireworks

Independence Day in the US is synonymous with fireworks, but the sudden bangs, loud crackles, and unpredictable flashes of light they produce make it impossible to sleep.

If you have to go to bed before the fireworks show has started (or if you find fireworks stressful and would rather sleep through them), we went to Dr. Leah Kaylor, a psychologist and sleep expert, to find out if it's even possible to get a good night's sleep during a fireworks display.

The good news? "With the right strategies, you can minimize the disruption and support a more peaceful night for yourself, your kids, and your pets," she says.

Mask the noise

“To reduce the disruptive sounds, try using earplugs or a white noise machine,” Dr. Kaylor suggests. "Wearing earplugs or noise-canceling headphones may reduce the physical impact of loud booms."

Create a dark sleeping environment

“It’s helpful to use blackout curtains or a sleep mask to block out the bright flashes,” advises Dr. Kaylor.

Create a feeling of calm

“Practicing calming techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation helps ease your nervous system and prepare your body for rest,” says Dr. Kaylor.

“Try to reframe the situation mentally by reminding yourself that the fireworks are temporary and that your body can recover from a night of disturbed sleep,” she advises.

(Now I'm more than prepared in the event the neighbors want to set off fireworks at midnight!)

What's better than being cool? Saving money on a cooling mattress!

(With apologies to André 3000.)

One trend I've noticed during this year's 4th of July sales is the prominence of discounts for cooling mattresses. It makes sense — it's summer, and much of the US is overheating right now.

Cooling mattresses are indeed useful in the summertime, but they're also helpful for sleepers who live in warm climates and deal with night sweats or hot flashes year-round. Generally speaking, they help regulate the temperature so you can sleep uninterrupted and feel refreshed in the morning.

Need a break from the heat? Here are three cooling mattress deals I've spotted that are worth your consideration...

1. Bear Elite Hybrid (queen): was $2,427 now from $1,457 at Bear
The Tom's Guide expert sleep team names the Bear Hybrid Elite the best cooling mattress you can buy right now. Not only is it loaded with effective heat-wicking materials — including an upgrade to the advanced Celliant-infused cooling cover — but it also comes in three firmness levels so you can experience well-rounded comfort. Learn what else we liked about it in our Bear Elite Hybrid mattress review. Keep in mind that Bear mattress sales are usually between 30% and 35% off, so 40% off is a remarkable deal, especially since the MSRPs have stayed the same.

2. Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Breeze Mattress (queen): was $4,599 now $4,099 at Tempur-Pedic
This isn't cheap by any means, but this deal is worthwhile because Tempur-Pedic usually caps its discounts at $300 for current-gen models. One drawback of Tempur Material is that it traps heat, but the Tempur-Breeze promises 5º cooler sleep through aerated foams and a cool-to-touch cover. If aches and pains are as much of a hindrance for you as overheating at night, make this your choice — especially since it might not be this low again anytime soon. (Plus, Tempur-Pedic is known for creating some of the best luxury mattresses.) It comes with free in-home delivery, a 90-night trial, and a 10-year warranty.

View Deal

3. Sleep Number Climate360 Smart Bed (queen): was $9,999 now $7,999 + free delivery at Sleep Number
This deal goes out to all the couples who are trying to avoid sleep divorce. I had the chance to try the Climate360 at a Sleep Number store and the climate control is on another level — it regulates the temperature and firmness as you sleep, with dual-sided controls so you can make your bed as comfy as you want without compromise. I also want to shout out the foot warmer, because you'll never have to wear socks to bed again. Not only are you getting 20% off here, but you're also saving another $250 on White Glove Delivery, which is included as part of this deal.

TIL: I live in the worst city in the US for bed bugs 😬

As if the ongoing trash strike wasn't enough, pest control experts Terminix have named my hometown of Philadelphia the most bed bug-infested city in the US. Runners-up include New York, Cleveland, and Los Angeles.

Summer is prime bed bug season and while the cities above are high alert areas, the fact is bed bugs can be a problem at any vacation spot. They don't care whether they stay in a five-star hotel, a pristine AirBNB, or a forgettable roadside motel.

Thus, it pays to be vigilant wherever you go if you don't want to bring unwanted guests home with you by following our bed bug prevention tips. Here are the basics:

• When you arrive, put your luggage in the bath tub, not on the bed. This keeps it bed bug-free while you check your bed.
• Inspect the seams of your mattress for signs of bed bugs, particularly bed bug skin. Red and brown blood spots on the mattress are also a sign of bed bugs, and there are more things you can look out for; see our guide to 7 signs of bed bugs in your mattress.
• Use the iron hack to find bed bugs in your hotel mattress. Assuming your hotel room comes with an iron, of course, this is a quick and easy way to spot the little critters.
• Found bed bugs? Demand a new room, or change hotels if you can.
• When you get home, put your luggage in the bath tub, check and wash all your clothing and then clean your luggage thoroughly.

Meanwhile, I am going to browse the best mattress protectors for bed bugs.

Can you use a weighted blanket in summer?

The best weighted blankets are definitely pretty, but they are more than just chic sleep accessories. Studies show that it is a bedding product designed to reduce anxiety and stress.

“The deep pressure stimulation can lower heart rate and reduce cortisol (your stress hormone),” says Dr Leah Kaylor, clinical psychologist who specializes in sleep and trauma.

Considering these are heavier than your duvets, it is natural to suspect whether a weighted blanket will cause overheating and nightsweats during summer.

However, according to Dr Kaylor, you can definitely use a weighted blanket during warm weather— the key is to opt for a lighter and breathable design.

“Go lightweight or shop for an open knit or cooling model. Also, keep your room cool with a fan or AC—your sleep environment matters just as much as the blanket itself,” reminds Dr Kaylor. More on this to follow later!

No mattresses were harmed in the making of this video!

Now, a bit about my dream mattress… As well as superb overall comfort and support for side sleepers (I've tried it and can vouch), the Helix Midnight Luxe is excellent at isolating movement across the surface of the mattress. But what does that mean, and how good is it really? Sleep editor Nicola enlists two helpers to test out the motion isolation on the Midnight Luxe…

My top three pillow picks...

Ever since being a bedding writer, I have tested quite a number of pillows, gauging them against key performance indicators like temperature regulation, comfort and support. Here are my three personal favorites that I return to, after back to back testing:

1. Coop Original Adjustable: from $85 from $68 at Coop Sleep Goods
Not sure of your sleeping style, but need a plush pillow? The Coop Original is the one I recommend (you heard me talk about this a little while ago). However, one drawback I spotted was that it tends to flatten easily which means it needs regular fluffing-up (find out more in my Coop Original Adjustable review). You can now save up to 20% off in the Coop 4th of July sales, which drops the MSRP of a classic queen from $85 to $68.

View Deal

2. Tempur-Pedic Tempur Neck: from $99 from $72.14 at Amazon
I go back to this on days I need extra pressure relief for my neck and shoulders. This is not your average bed pillow both in terms of design and function. The Tempur foam material is not only firm, but also instantly relaxing, making it a great choice for those struggling with neck pain or aches (read the full Tempur Neck review for more details). You can grab a small size pillow up to 27% off now on Amazon, which drops the list price from $99 (less than the $119 on the official website) to $72.14.

3. Layla Kapok Pillow: from $109 Buy One Get One 50% off at Layla
Need a proper medium-firm pillow which does not shift during the night? The Layla Kapok pillow made from shredded memory foam and breathable kapok fiber fill, is your ideal choice. I found this to be a perfect fit for side sleeping, since it requires little to no fill adjustments. Bonus? The striking pillow cover. It is currently on a ‘buy one get one 50% off’ summer sale which means a pack of queen pillows is now $163.50 (was $218).

My friend is in the market for a sunrise alarm clock — this is the one I recommended straightaway

As a morning lark, I loathe dark mornings. So, I spent the winter testing the best sunrise alarm clocks on the market to find the right one for me. Even though dark mornings are a thing of the past (for now) I'm still using my Hatch Restore 3 ($169.99 at Hatch) through the summer months.

Its library of sleep sounds and sunset simulation elevate my evening routine, helping me wind down after warm days, and I like how the simulated sunrise amplifies light in my bedroom come morning, helping me wake up easier. So, when a friend asked for my top sunrise alarm clock recommendation, it was only natural I sung praises about the Hatch Restore.

4 reasons you’re too hot to sleep

Humid nights are part and parcel of summer, but there are plenty of other (avoidable and unavoidable) reasons you may find yourself too hot to sleep and the season isn’t always to blame. So, what can cause heat to sabotage your sleep?

Menopause or peri-menopause: The shift in hormones that occurs during menopause and peri-menopause can wreak havoc on your body’s thermostat. Specifically, the drop in estrogen means you’re more susceptible to climate changes, hence the nighttime hot flushes and night sweats.

Stress: High stress levels increase heart rate and blood flow, heating the body up. Therefore, a calming nighttime routine is key to reducing stress at the end of day, literally cooling the mind and body down to optimal sleep temperature.

Diet choices: Spicy foods and late night meals delay sleep onset by raising body temperature as you metabolise the food. Your body uses energy to break down food and this translates to a rise in temperature, causing you to toss and turn at night.

Menstrual cycle: It’s natural for a woman’s nighttime body temperature to fluctuate throughout their monthly cycle. During the luteal phase, body temperature rises by about 0.3°C to 0.7°C particularly during sleep due to increased progesterone levels.

In any case, a reliable, top-rated cooling mattress could be just what you need to sleep comfortably this summer.

Which Saatva mattress should hot sleepers buy this summer?

We recommend the Saatva Latex Hybrid mattress to hot sleepers looking for a luxury bed in 4th July Saatva mattress sales. This hand-tufted hybrid mattress is made with organic Talalay latex, which has an open cell structure allowing air to freely circulate around the mattress. Paired with a naturally breathable cotton cover, this bed helps keep you cool while you snooze.

Right now, you can save $400 on all sizes of the Latex Hybrid Mattress at Saatva, cutting a queen size to $2,099 (was $2,499). As always, free White Glove delivery, a lifetime warranty and 365-night sleep trial are included.

The smart bed I’d buy this 4th July even though it’s not on sale

Eight Sleep Pod 4: from $2,449 at Eight Sleep
The Eight Sleep Pod 4 is our #1 smart bed of the year. I’ve been sleeping on the Eight Sleep Pod 4 since November 2024 and in that time I’ve become a self-confessed professional sleeper. I’ve bagged sleep scores of 100, fallen asleep easily through heatwaves and woken up feeling refreshed most days. This isn’t a complete smart mattress per say, it is a smart mattress cover laced with accurate sleep tracking sensors and water tubes that form an in-bed heating and cooling system that you can control manually, or leave it to automatically adjust to your temperature needs from morning to night. Yes it’s pricey at $2,649 for a queen size, and you have to fork out on a subscription fee starting at $17 per month. But it is the most affordable model from Eight Sleep (it has similar features to the new Pod 5 which costs $200 more right now) and offers decent value in the grand scheme of smart beds.

Our score: ★★★★½

Hello!
Eve Davies, Sleep Staff Writer

Eve here, Tom’s Guide’s sleep tech writer. Thanks to Frances for kicking off our live sleep hub this 4th July. Now she’s off for some well-deserved lunch, I’ll be taking over for the next couple of hours to bring you all the latest smart bed and sleep tech deals and advice, and of course keep on top of our general mattress and sleep content. Follow along for updates…

That's it from me...

I'll be back tomorrow, but until then expect some great shopping advice, sleep tips, and deal spotting from my fellow bedheads.

My review of the Sleepyhead Mattress Topper (and why it's THE student sleep deal)

Image 1 of 3

I got the chance earlier this year to test one of Sleepyhead's toppers for my Sleepyhead Cooling Copper Mattress Topper review. Here's 5 reasons why it's perfect for students going off to college this summer:

1. It comes with a "good-til-graduation" 5-year warranty to see you through college.

2. Students get a 15%-20% discount when you buy the Sleepyhead Cooling Copper Topper directly from Sleepyhead, and all customers receive a 60-night sleep trial and free shipping

3. A twin XL (the standard dorm mattress size) comes in a 2" or 3" height — thick enough to transform and protect any old bed.

4. It's infused with anti-bacterial and refreshing copper for a cooler, cleaner sleep.

5. It's cover is removable and washable, so it can stand up against spills and stains.

You (or a loved one) moving into a dorm this summer? Here's the deal I'd get

So you're moving into your new dorm room, but it comes with a mattress that looks a little grubby and germy.

Not to worry, because the best mattress toppers often use thick, protective memory foam infused with anti-microbial substances such as copper and graphite to keep your new bed's surface fresh and clean.

Sleepyhead are a brand specializing in creating mattress toppers especially for students who want to transform their dorm mattress into a comfy and hygienic bed.

You'll find plenty of unboxing videos (see above), mostly featuring photogenic students acting as if setting up a bed topper is easiest thing in the world — but they may be on to something.

Stick around to see how I got on setting up and sleeping on my very own Sleepyhead topper...

Psst! How to find secret discount codes for top-selling sleep products

There’s nothing like a good discount code to bring your mattress price down, but most mattress brands nowadays will plaster the code all over their website so much (some even automatically apply the code to your cart for you) that it doesn’t feel like you’ve unlocked any special or secret discount – it just feels like a marketing tool to psych you up for impulse buying.

However, there are some discount codes that not everyone knows about, that I’ve picked up over the last two years covering mattress sales. Here are some hidden codes that you can use right now to save some extra cash:

Save 40% on mattress toppers with code TOPPERS40 at Tempur-Pedic

Save 15% on the Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress with code TAKE15 at Linenspa

Save 27% on mattresses, mattress toppers and bedding with code TOMS27 at Helix

Save 27% on organic mattresses and bed toppers with code TOMS27 at Birch Living

Save an extra $10 on mattresses and bedding with code Future10Off at Layla

The pillow we'd reccomend to all sleep positions...

Our guide to this year's best pillows is full of comfy finds, but a lot are tailored to fit certain sleep positions.

However, there's a particular pillow that offers comfort to all positions. You can now save 20% on the Original Adjustable Pillow at Coop Sleep Goods going from $85 to $68. It's adjustable, comfortable, and...y'know what? Why don't I just let bedding expert Becky George explain it to you?

My tips for sleeping cool without air conditioning

Trying to get a good night's sleep is horrendous when you don't have air-conditioning (and I should know, I unfortunately am not blessed with the miracle of A/C). But there are some things you can do to make your summer nights less horrendous and more refreshing.

• Keep windows and curtains or blinds shut when the sun is out and the temperature is at its peak to keep the hot air out of your room.
• Open your windows and curtains as soon as the temperature drops, to allow the cooler night air to enter and refresh your room.
• Invest in a lavender-infused eye pillow. Simply pop it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before bed, then place on your eyes for an instant cool-down.
• Last but not least, get yourself a fan. These time-tested things circulates air around the room during days when it's too warm to open a window.

Stay cool...I've found a brrr-illiant deal I'd buy in hot minute

So far, there's been a lot of mattress talk, and while Saatva can offer you luxury mattresses for a customized sleep, let's not forget the calming, cooling power of good bedding.

I've been wanting a certain piece of bedding to get a price drop, and now it's finally happened. You can now save 30% on the Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector at Brooklyn Bedding, after weeks of being stuck at 25% off. I got the chance to test this ultra-cooling bedding for my Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector review and absolutely loved its heat-dissipating powers. Oh, did I also mention it's water-resistant, noiseless, and easy to clean?

But it's not the only thing I use to sleep cool during heatwaves...

So you've found the ideal Saatva mattress at a viewing room...

Now what? Well, you won't be able to buy it, as the viewing rooms are there to offer you an opportunity to try all the best Saatva mattresses before you buy. You can only buy a Saatva mattress online directly from the brand's website.

However, if you don't live near a viewing room, it doesn't mean you have to commit to your Saatva mattress as soon as you buy. Saatva generously offers a 365-night trial, meaning you'll have an entire year to try it out before deciding whether you want to keep it or not.

Whether you test it at a viewing room or at home, just make sure to visit this hub for an amazing deal. Why? This 4th of July, you can save $400 on all mattresses over $1,000 at Saatva when you use the above link. You won't find this sale using a standard link, I promise.

Calling California...

Fancy mattress brand Saatva recently announced the imminent grand opening of another one of their equally fancy viewing rooms, this time in Pasadena, CA. (If you want to know what it's like to visit one, you can check if one of their 24 locations are near you or check out my fellow team member's first-hand account of a visit to a local Saatva viewing room).

Stay tuned to find out the next steps after finding the right Saatva mattress...
