I've tried the Midnight Luxe mattress and it's a dream for side sleepers — but there's a different luxury hybrid I'd buy in the Helix sale
The 4th of July fireworks have started early at Helix, where we're celebrating 27% off all Helix mattresses with code TOMS27. Side sleepers, now's the chance to save on the top-rated Midnight Luxe mattress.
I've been hands-on with the Helix Midnight Luxe and agree with our lead tester's assessment: the plush cushioning is just like a "beautifully cool marshmallow."
We rate it among the best mattresses we've tested and while the premium price tag makes it an investment, it's one we think your sleep will thank you for.
27% off at Helix is perhaps the biggest mattress sales we've seen this month and an early contender for the best 4th of July deal — here's my top pick to browse today.
Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at Helix The Helix Midnight Luxe is almost the perfect side sleeper bed — no wonder we crowned it the best mattress for side sleepers. Our lead tester has spent months using it for our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review (including several weeks on the recently revamped model) and she loves its combination of plush pressure relief and full-body support. As does her husband, a back sleeper who finds the Midnight delivers ample lumbar support. And thanks to the highly-rated motion isolation, they can toss and turn without bothering the other. If you're worried about the summer heat we suggest adding the GlacioTex cover and with 27% off using code TOMS27, it's the perfect time to make the upgrade. A queen has been reduced to $1,751.03 (from $2,398.66) without the cover and $1,933.04 with it.
Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (7,500+ reviews)
You can save 27% sitewide in the Helix mattress sale with our TOMS27 code in a deal that's almost as good as the Memorial Day saving. (For Memorial Day, Luxe and Elite mattresses also came with a free gift.)
This is likely the best Helix deal we'll see this side of Labor Day — and possibly the best offer until Black Friday. So if you want the 'blissful pressure relief' and 'robust contouring support' of the Helix Midnight Luxe, we recommend taking advantage of the discount.
But while I liked the cushioned Midnight Luxe, it's another of the best hybrid mattresses I'll be adding to my own cart: the Dusk Luxe.
From the same collection as the Midnight Luxe, the Dusk Luxe features the same tall build (13.5 inches, to be precise), thick foams, and zoned springs of its compatriot.
However, the Dusk Luxe uses a responsive support foam to create a mattress that's cushioned without the sink-in feel of softer beds.
As a stomach sleeper, this is perfect for me. I spent a week on the Dusk Luxe and despite a lingering case of jet lag I slept like a baby and woke up fresh each morning.
And it's not just one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers; back sleepers should find it comfortably supportive as well.
Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at HelixIn our Helix Dusk Luxe mattress review we described this luxury bed as a "dream for stomach sleepers." The quilted cover and dense foams create indulgent pressure relief but thanks to the impressive support, you never have to worry about your hips sinking — something that can cause pain for back and front sleepers. Using code TOMS27 can save you extra on the Dusk Luxe with a queen now only $1,751.03 (down from $2,398.66.) I've found the temperature regulation comfortable but very hot sleepers should consider the GlacioTex upgrade.

Nearly 62 million Americans will hit the road over July 4, AAA predicts
Advertisement 'Because gas prices have been so much lower than this time last year, it's going to be a bit of a rise, but there's no indication we will hit where we were last summer,' said Aixa Diaz, an AAA spokesperson. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Even with the increase in road trips, gasoline demand isn't projected to get a significant boost as vehicles' improving fuel efficiency curbs consumption. Demand — which was down about 1 percent from last year as of last week — will decline this year and next, and retail gasoline prices will drop across most of the US through the end of 2026, according to the Energy Information Administration. Oil prices had slumped for much of this year as OPEC and its allies revived supply faster than expected and US President Donald Trump's trade war weighed on the outlook for demand. Those dynamics had helped keep gasoline prices in check, but now hostilities between Iran and Israel are emerging as key drivers of the market, raising fears of disruption to crude production and a potential blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. Advertisement The surge in oil prices from the Israel-Iran conflict is 'setting the stage for additional price hikes at gas pumps across the country,' said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. 'Motorists should prepare for what will likely be modest price increases — for now — but the situation has the potential to worsen at any moment.' While road trips are the most popular form of travel, a record 5.84 million people are expected to fly during the holiday period as well, up 1.4 percent from last year, AAA said. The slower growth for air travel is a consequence of rising costs, with a round-trip domestic flight averaging $810, 4 percent more than last year, the group said. Still, the Transportation Security Administration screened more than 3 million passengers in a single day over the Memorial Day holiday, nearing its busiest day ever.

Memory foam bed too hot to sleep? Shop these 3 cooling mattress topper deals this weekend
Memory foam mattresses provide excellent body-cradling comfort but they can feel a little stuffy when summer arrives. Luckily, there are plenty of cooling mattress toppers on sale right now to cool things down, including a chance to save 20% on the TEMPUR-Adapt + Cooling Topper at Tempur-Pedic. The TEMPUR-Adapt + Cooling Topper is actually a cooling upgrade from the original Tempur-Adapt Topper, currently No 1 in our best mattress toppers of 2025 guide. But there are plenty more cooling bed toppers on the market, from brands such as premium Helix and budget-favorite Lucid. All three cooling mattress toppers below have been tried and tested by us, a team of sleep experts, so we know they actually work and are worth buying in this weekend's mattress sales to get ahead of the heatwaves. 1. Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper: queen was $429 now $359 at Tempur-PedicWhile we rated the original Tempur-Adapt Topper as the best memory foam mattress topper of 2025, we did find it retained heat. Enter the Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper, the Tempur-Adapt Topper's cooling upgrade. The upgrade is $60 extra, but it should be a worthwhile extra if you overheat at night. In our Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt + Cooling Mattress Topper review, our tester didn't experience night sweats once on this topper, and found that its body-cradling foam is perfect for side sleepers. In the current Tempur-Pedic mattress sale there's 20% off the Tempur-Adapt and Tempur-Adapt + Cooling toppers, making the starting price of a twin-sized Tempur-Adapt + Cooling $279 (down from $329). Unfortunately, there's no official sleep trial, but you will get a 10-year warranty and free shipping. Our review: ★★★★User score: ★★★★½ (3,800+ reviews) 2. Helix Premium Mattress Topper with GlacioTex: queen was $498.66 now $364.03 with code TOMS27 at HelixThe Helix Premium Mattress Topper with GlacioTex contains two stand-out features: a layer of micro-coils (small springs made for bed toppers) and a cooling GlacioTex cover. While the micro-coils offers support and comfort, the GlacioTex (a specialist cooling fabric used in the best cooling mattresses) provides a heat-dissipating surface. Our Helix GlacioTex Premium Mattress Topper review team praised its cool-to-the-touch cover and the softness it provides without being stuffy. While there's a 25% off Helix mattress sale (usually 20% off), you can score a 27% discount with code TOMS27, bringing a twin-size to $272.54. Benefits include a 100-night sleep trial and free shipping. Our review: ★★★★ 3. Gel Memory Foam Topper: queen was $69.99 now $55.99 with at LucidComing in 3 different heights (2", 3", or 4"), the Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper offers impressive cooling for such a low price. Testers slept comfortably cool no matter the temperature outside when using the Lucid Topper and it's all thanks to its gel-infused ventilated design. A 20% discount is automatically applied to your cart when you add a Lucid topper and you'll get a 30-night sleep trial, free shipping, and a 3-year warranty. The price increases with height (we tested the 4" version for our Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper review), so you can get a two-inch thick twin-size for as low as $39.99.
