Memorial Day is fast approaching, because time only passes faster as we get older. You know what else we need as we get older? A better mattress. I can't rave enough about how much changing my mattress helped my back pain, taking me from starting each day half hunched over to feeling like a springy teen again. While a mattress can't turn back time, a better mattress can lead to a lot of things: Better sleep! Better support! Less pain overnight!
One of the best times to shop for a mattress is leading up to Memorial Day. We've rounded up everything we recommend for a better night's sleep that's currently on sale ahead of the holiday on May 26. Everything listed is based on queen size, with the discount listed based on the price we usually see these mattresses and sheets available for.

Here's a sale that will have you saying 'it's an Avocado [mattress], thanks!' (IYKYK, we miss the Vine days). The organic materials of these mattresses are no joke, though, and provide you with support by way of materials like organic latex. You can use code HONOR15 to get 15 percent off the Avocado Green mattress, or HONOR10 to get 10 percent off the Eco Organic Hybrid mattress.
The maker of our favorite mattress has kicked off its Memorial Day Sale with a nice discount: 25 percent off with the code MEMDAY25. It's not the lowest discount we've seen, but the lowest these mattresses go is 27 percent off, so it's pretty close. You'll also get a free sheet set and mattress protector with the purchase of any Luxe or Elite mattress. The savings shown are based on the usual price we see.
'Organic' pertains to mattresses too, and this is the central theme of Naturepedic's mattresses. Organic cotton, wool, and latex work together to lend you both pressure relief and support. And to really push the envelope (or rather, box), you can customize the firmness on both the left and right sides of the EOS Classic mattress. The entire site is 20 percent off with the code MEMORIAL20, which you can apply at checkout for a mattress or the brand's fantastic sheets.
It's hard to say 'no' to Nolah's Memorial Day deal (and the Evolution Hybrid mattress, if I'm being honest). Yes, it's an exceptional mattress that was built for relieving pressure and supporting lower backs, but 35 percent off your purchase and two free pillows is pretty sweet. Plus, WIRED readers get an extra something-something ($50 off with code WIRED50). We usually see some kind of sale already underway at Nolah, but these are better prices than you'll regularly find.
Brooklyn Bedding makes a whole lotta mattresses, all made in Arizona! Fan favorites (not just for us but for sleepers out there near and far) include mattresses like the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe Hybrid, which is a whole other level for keeping you sleeping cool. For Memorial Day, you can get up to 30 percent off sitewide with code MEMORIAL30.
Birch is the organic sister brand of Helix, and it's running the same early Memorial Day Sale with the code MEMDAY25 for 25 percent off site-wide. While you won't get extra sheets, you will also get two of Birch's Eco-Rest Pillows with any mattress purchase. Birch makes both our favorite organic mattress and our favorite mattress topper (organic or not!), and it's a great choice if you're looking to go organic in your bedroom. After all, you spend eight hours a day sleeping in there. The savings shown are based on the usual price we see, rather than the full list price.
Bear's Elite Hybrid Mattress is a fantastic choice if you suffer from back pain. Bear makes some of the firmest mattresses we've ever tried, but even as a side sleeper, I found this mattress comfortable all night long. Bear's Memorial Day Sale has everything 35 percent off, plus two free pillows, with the code MEMORIALDAY. Bear usually runs a 30 percent discount on its site, so it's not a huge discount off what we usually see, but it's still a great price for a great mattress. The discount is based on the price we usually see rather than the mattress's base price.
Eyeballing a Saatva mattress? It's your time to act, as the brand's Memorial Day mattress sales are officially rocking and rolling. You can save $400 off the base price of a $1,000+ mattress, so that includes everything from the uber-popular Saatva Classic to the more specialized Saatva Rx (which may be heaven-sent for sleepers that want some soft support for their back and joint pain). You'll want to use our exclusive links below to get the discount added, or click this link here. You can also get the brand's fantastic percale sheets and down alternative pillows at a discount, too, to go with your new mattress.
Leesa's Early Access Memorial Day Sale is code-free, with 30 percent off certain mattresses on its site. Our favorites from Leesa are its cooling mattresses, specifically the Leesa Sapira Chill and the Leesa Legend Chill Hybrid. You can score both during the early sale, with the discount shown based on the price we usually see.
Canadian mattress brand Essentia is throwing its name into the Memorial Day mattress sales hat, with 25 percent off sitewide and a free gift with purchase. You'll see the discount applied once you add the mattress to your cart. The brand's specialty is organic latex mattresses, and we've noted that Tatami organic mattresses are on our radar since they give off good pressure relief for those battling with back pain on the reg. Best Memorial Day Pillows and Sheets Deals
If you're interested in trying bamboo sheets, our favorite splurge set is on sale right now. Cozy Earth is known for its decadently soft bamboo sheet set, and while there's a Memorial Day Sale already live that gives you a discount for buying three items or more, you can use our code WIRED to get 35 percent off anything on Cozy Earth's site. We've tested tons of Cozy Earth items, from bamboo sheets and comforters to its towels and even socks, and have been impressed at every turn with how soft the items are.
I've slept on every major sheet brand and every type of sheet, and the brand I recommend shopping the most is The Citizenry. This artisanal brand makes he best soft yet breathable percale sheets and the best linen sheets for the price, both of which are organic. You'll even find The Citizenry's sheets in the WIRED 101 that lists our 101 favorite gear ever. The sheets are already a great price for what you're getting and aren't often on sale, which makes the current Memorial Day Sale so exciting. Everything on the site is 20 percent off, no code required, including both sheet sets we can't stop recommending.
Brooklinen is a big favorite in the world of bedding, and the company makes a huge range of products. Sheets! Comforters! Pillows! Towels! Bathrobes! You name it, Brooklinen probably has it, and it's all on sale for 25 percent off right now for Brooklinen's Memorial Day Sale. We're especially big fans of the down comforter and down pillow, but Brooklinen's super crisp organic percale sheets is one of our favorite sets of organic bedding.
Nuzzie is a smaller bedding brand that primarily makes fantastic weighted blankets, but also makes a set of my favorite cooling bamboo sheets. Nuzzie's running a spring sale with the code SPRING15 to get 15 percent off both sheets and weighted blankets, and I can't recommend both enough as we head into hotter weather. I also really love how lightweight Nuzzie's Ice Knit weighted blankets are and how cool the bamboo cover is, especially as someone who prefers a gentle weight over a heavy press of a blanket. (I use the 12-pound, even though that's below the recommended 10 percent of my weight.)
Purple makes our favorite pillow, the Purple Freeform, which is incredibly lofty and bouncy thanks to its high-density memory foam and polyester fill core, plus the honeycomb-shaped gel layer that surrounds it. It's fully adjustable, too. Both it and the nonadjustable Purple Harmony (which has multiple sizes instead to replace the adjustability) are on sale right now on Purple's website during its early Memorial Day Sale.
Buffy's gear is just about always on sale for 20 percent off. It's currently calling that discount its spring sale, but you can find it all the time. But time and time again, I'm so impressed by Buffy's bedding that I don't even care if it's not a unique sale. You should still shop it. Buffy's down-alternative Cloud Pillow is one of my favorite pillows. I like it much, much more than any real down I've tried, and it uses recycled plastic bottles instead in its design. And both its Supima cotton percale sheets and eucalyptus-based Breeze Sheets are fantastic for hot weather.

How Senate Republicans want to change the tax breaks in Trump's big bill
WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans are taking slightly different approaches when it comes to the tax cuts that lawmakers are looking to include in their massive tax and spending cuts bill. Republicans in the two chambers don't agree on the size of a deduction for state and local taxes. And they are at odds on such things as allowing people to use their health savings accounts to help pay for their gym membership, or whether electric vehicle and hybrid owners should have to pay an annual fee. The House passed its version shortly before Memorial Day. Now the Senate is looking to pass its version. While the two bills are similar on the major tax provisions, how they work out their differences in the coming weeks will determine how quickly they can get a final product over the finish line. President Donald Trump is pushing to have the legislation on his desk by July 4th. Here's a look at some of the key differences between the two bills: The child tax credit currently stands at $2,000 per child. The House bill temporarily boosts the child tax credit to $2,500 for the 2025 through 2028 tax years, roughly the length of President Donald Trump's second term. It also indexes the credit amount for inflation beginning in 2027. The Senate bill provides a smaller, initial bump-up to $2,200, but the bump is permanent, with the credit amount indexed for inflation beginning next year. Trump promised on the campaign trail that he would seek to end income taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits. Also, he would give car buyers a new tax break by allowing them to deduct the interest paid on auto loans. The House and Senate bills incorporate those promises with temporary deductions lasting from the 2025 through 2028 tax years, but with some differences. The House bill creates a deduction on tips for those working in jobs that have customarily received tips. The House also provides for a deduction for overtime that's equal to the amount of OT a worker has earned. The Senate bill comes with more restrictions. The deduction for tips is limited to $25,000 per taxpayer and the deduction for overtime is limited to $12,500 per taxpayer. The House and Senate bills both provide a deduction of up to $10,000 for interest paid on loans for vehicles made in the United States. And on Social Security, the bills don't directly touch the program. Instead, they grant a larger tax deduction for Americans age 65 and older. The House sets the deduction at $4,000. The Senate sets it at $6,000. Both chambers include income limits over which the new deductions begin to phase out. The caps on state and local tax deductions, known in Washington as the SALT cap, now stand at $10,000. The House bill, in a bid to win over Republicans from New York, California and New Jersey, lifts the cap to $40,000 per household with incomes of less than $500,000. The credit phases down for households earning more than $500,000. The Senate bill keeps the cap at $10,000. That's a non-starter in the House, but Republicans in the two chambers will look to negotiate a final number over the coming weeks that both sides can accept. The House bill prohibits states from establishing new provider taxes or increasing existing taxes. These are taxes that Medicaid providers, such as hospitals, pay to help states finance their share of Medicaid costs. In turn, the taxes allow states to receive increased federal matching funds while generally holding providers harmless through higher reimbursements that offset the taxes paid. Such taxes now are effectively capped at 6%. The Senate looks to gradually lower that threshold for states that have expanded their Medicaid populations under the Affordable Care Act, or 'Obamacare,' until it reaches 3.5% in 2031, with exceptions for nursing homes and intermediate care facilities. Industry groups have warned that limiting the ability of states to tax providers may lead to some states making significant cuts to their Medicaid programs as they make up for the lost revenue in other ways. The Medicaid provision could be a flashpoint in the coming House and Senate negotiations. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., was highly critical of the proposed Senate changes. 'This needs a lot of work. It's really concerning and I'm really surprised by it,' he said. 'Rural hospitals are going to be in bad shape.' The House bill would allow companies for five years to fully deduct equipment purchases and domestic research and development expenses. The Senate bill includes no sunset, making the tax breaks permanent, which was a key priority of powerful trade groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Republicans in both chambers are looking to scale back the clean energy tax credits enacted through then-President Joe Biden's climate law. It aimed to boost the nation's transition away from planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions toward renewable energy such as wind and solar power. Under the Senate bill, the tax credits for clean energy and home energy efficiency would still be phased out, but less quickly than under the House bill. Still, advocacy groups fear that the final measure will threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive up household energy costs. The House bill would allow millions of Americans to use their health savings accounts to pay for gym memberships, with a cap of $500 for single taxpayers and $1,000 for joint filers. The Senate bill doesn't include such a provision. The House reinstates a charitable deduction for non-itemizers of $150 per taxpayer. The Senate bill increases that deduction for donations to $1,000 per taxpayer. Republicans in the House bill included a new annual fee of $250 for EV owners and $100 for hybrid owners that would be collected by state motor vehicle departments. The Senate bill excludes the proposed fees.

Pelosi added millions to net worth last year: report
She might be the She-Wolf of Wall Street. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed. The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial disclosures showed the couple's net worth topping out at a possible $370 million. Advertisement 4 The Pelosi's added between $7.8 and $42.5 million to their net worth in 2024. Getty Images Pelosi's exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges. Market research firm Quiver Quantitative, which estimates a single figure based on daily stock values it tracks, placed the pair's 2024 worth at $257 million — up $26 million from a year earlier. Advertisement But the value of their various other ventures — which include but are not limited to a Napa Valley winery, ownership in a political data and consulting firm and a stake in a Bay area Italian restaurant — mean Pelosi's worth could be far higher in the estimated range. A large chunk of the couple's fortune has come from a sizable stock portfolio and timely trades, all done in Paul Pelosi's name. The former House Speaker, who's so infamous for trading Missouri Rep. Josh Hawley named a bill after her, and her husband dumped 5,000 shares of Microsoft stock worth an estimated $2.2 million in July — one of their largest sales in three years — a few short months before the FTC announced an antitrust investigation into the tech giant. They also sold 2,000 shares — worth an estimated $525,000 — of Visa stock, less than three months before the credit card company was hit with a DOJ monopoly lawsuit. Advertisement 4 Some have nicknamed Pelosi the 'Queen of Stocks.' Getty Images for The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Their best trade though might have been exercising a call option in December they bought in late 2023 at an estimated premium of $1.8 million, allowing them to nab 50,000 shares of hot AI chip stock NVIDIA for $12 a pop — less than one tenth of its market price. In total the couple paid an estimated $2.4 million for the investment, which on paper is now worth more than $7.2 million. NVIDIA wasn't their only AI play of 2024. Advertisement The couple also paid between $600,000 and $1.25 million for a call option on California cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks in February, the same week it was revealed the White House briefed lawmakers on a serious national security threat related to Russia. The shares rose close to 20% in the days after the move. 4 A bill aiming to ban lawmakers and their spouses from trading individual stocks was named 'The PELOSI Act.' Jack Forbes / NY Post Design The option allowed the pair to scoop up 14,000 shares of Palo Alto in December at a $100 strike price — half its trading value. The company has been crushing earnings over the past year and the investment is now worth around $2.8 million. But the Queen of Stocks did suffer one setback — when she and Paul Pelosi ditched 2,500 shares of former Department of Government Efficiency boss Elon Musk's Tesla in June, losing somewhere between $100,000 and $1 million on the trade. In all, their investment portfolio pulled in an estimated 54% return in 2024, more than double the S&P 500's 25% gain — and beating every large hedge fund, according to numbers in Bloomberg's end-of-year tally of hedge funds' returns. 4 Pelosi and her good fortune have been at the center of arguments about why Congress shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post The formidable profits come amid growing calls to ban Congress from trading individual stocks, arguing lawmakers have access to market-moving information ahead of the public. Advertisement Pelosi in the past rejected calls for a ban, stating 'we're a free‑market economy.' She has since softened her stance in the face of growing criticism. When asked in May whether Congress should pass a trading ban, she replied, 'If they do, they do.' 'Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,' a spokesperson told The Post. The couple is already off to a rocking 2025. Advertisement In January, they bought call options for then-little-known artificial intelligence health firm, Tempus AI, which has since inked a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca and doubled its stock price. The couple also took out call options for energy company Vistra — whose stock climbed last month after it unveiled a massive $1.9 billion deal to acquire natural gas facilities across the country from a private equity firm, citing rising US power demand.
