DreamCloud, Nectar and more — 5 mattress-in-a-box deals still live and worth shopping in last chance Memorial Day sales
Below are five beds in a box that I recommend you check out that are still on sale for Memorial Day, with deals from just $179 for a queen. If these beds look familiar, it's likely because you've seen them in our guide to the best mattresses of 2025, as well.
My picks span a variety of price points and materials so whether you want a cheap memory foam mattress or a pricier specialist hybrid, you'll find it here. You can also browse our Memorial Day mattress sales hub for great deals that are still live.
1. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress (queen): $649 at DreamCloudYes, this is the standard price from the DreamCloud mattress sale that runs throughout the year, but we here at Tom's Guide agree this is the best hybrid mattress for value. It's still much less than Saatva's entry-level models (generally considered the best mattress brand), and DreamCloud provides a one-year trial and a lifetime warranty, too. We rate it highly for side and back sleepers who want an excellent combination of support and pressure relief — and as we found out in our DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress review, it's quite breathable and isolates movement well, too.
Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (9,100+ reviews)
2. Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress (queen): $949 at NectarAgain, this Nectar mattress deal isn't different from what we normally see, but it's still an incredible price on what our sleep team calls the best memory foam mattress overall. The Nectar Premier boasts more pressure relief and better temperature regulation than the Nectar Classic, with an extra layer of memory foam and an upgraded cooling cover. It's a great way to bring home Tempur-Pedic-style comfort without breaking the bank, especially when you consider the one-year sleep trial and lifetime warranty that are included. Read our Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress review to find out why it's among our favorites we've tested.

3. Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress (queen): was from $2,427 now from $1,578 + 2 free pillows at BearOur top-rated cooling mattress overall, the Bear Elite can be tailored to your comfort level — choose from soft, medium, or firm. We tested the medium in our Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress review and combined with the dedicated lumbar support, we were comfortable in any position. It comes standard with a quilted cover made from phase-change materials, but our testers strongly recommend upgrading to the Celliant cover for best-in-class temperature regulation. We normally see a 30% off mattress sale but for Memorial Day, Bear is cutting 35% off and including a pair of free pillows. It's among the best Bear mattress sales we've seen. You can also expect a 120-night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty and free shipping and returns.
Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (3,900+ reviews)
4. Siena 8' Memory Foam Mattress (queen): was $279 now $179 at AmazonYes, that's correct — Amazon has the queen-size Siena Memory Foam Mattress for less than $200. It'd be a great pick up for a dorm, guest room, or a kid's bed. This is a slightly thinner version of the Siena 10" Memory Foam Mattress we reviewed, that's earned a spot on our best budget mattress list. With a less thick profile, expect an even firmer feel than the flagship Siena model we tested. It comes with a 10-year warranty, and Prime members qualify for free 2-day shipping. However, take note of Amazon's return policy, as it'll differ from Siena's.
Our review (Siena 10"): ★★★★User score: ★★★★1/2 (500+ reviews)
5. Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress (queen): was $2,373.33 now $1,732.54 at Helix with code TOMS27 at HelixWe've dubbed this the best mattress for side sleepers hands-down — and the back sleepers should like it, too. The top layers, including a plush pillow top, help ease pressure points at the hips and shoulders, while the coils and dedicated lumbar support keep everything aligned. Upgrades are available for cooling and lower back pain relief. Learn more in our Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress review. Not only will you get 27% off in the Helix Memorial Day mattress sale with our exclusive code, you'll also get a free sheet set, along with a 100-night trial and a lifetime warranty.

Verizon just confirmed it's raising fees again — here's what you'll pay now
Verizon, one of the best phone carriers, may have introduced a three-year price lock in April, but prices can still go up on your phone bill. The company confirmed to Tom's Guide that it's "making some adjustments" that will raise various fees starting in September. In a statement, a Verizon spokesperson said that the "vast majority" of customers would see an increase of "less than 30 cents" to their monthly bill. "To continue delivering the best customer experience on America's best 5G network and industry-leading services and tools that save our customers' time and money, we're making some adjustments," the statement reads. A recent Reddit thread (spotted by PhoneArena) revealed a number of fees that would see increases; Verizon spokesperson's confirmed those increases. The affected fees include the Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge which is used by Verizon to pay for "direct and indirect" costs like property taxes, and was already raised by the carrier last December. According to the Reddit post, the recovery charge will increase by 28 cents to $3.78 per voice line. Data-only plans are taking a massive leap from $1.60 to $3.97 per line. The Verizon Regulatory Charge is also rising 3 cents from $0.19 to $0.21 per line. This charge is an assessment that the carrier uses to to cover "various government charges." "These adjustments are in line with market rates and allow us to continue to provide top-tier products and services," the spokesperson said. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. While Verizon's three-year price lock keeps your main plan at a friendlier price for longer, it doesn't specifically lock fees and taxes. The guaranteed price lock is only available to customers on a newer myPlan subscription. Lastly, the post indicates that Verizon is also raising the price of its device activation fee from $35 to $40, which can already be seen on the Verizon website. Tablet plans are also rising by an additional $5 a month. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds. Make sure to click the Follow button.

Watch out Apple Watch — Garmin is seeing a huge surge of interest right now
Garmin just reported a record-breaking quarter for its fitness wearables with sales jumping 41% compared to last year, hitting $605 million in revenue for the segment in Q2 2025 alone. But what's behind this surge? It seems it's not just the usual hardcore athletes snapping up the latest gear. Instead, Garmin is winning over a whole new crowd of wearable buyers, from casual fitness fans to wellness seekers, thanks to an expanding lineup of best Garmin watches featuring newer models with updated features that offer a blend of style and smarter health tracking. For years, Garmin was known for rugged, data-rich watches built for marathoners, triathletes, and outdoor adventurers. But that's changing. The brand's newer devices, like the sleek Venu X1 with its 2-inch AMOLED display and the compact Lily 2 Active, offer a more accessible, lifestyle-friendly experience. The Garmin Venu X1 features a sleek, lightweight design, a bright 2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and personalized fitness plans. It's a stunner of a watch for both style and performance. Garmin has also entered new categories with products like the Index Sleep Monitor, its first smart sleep band, designed to help users improve sleep quality and track recovery metrics, minus a big watch display. These developments appear to be driving strong results. Garmin's fitness segment revenue increased 41 percent year-over-year to $605 million, while operating income rose 84 percent to $198 million, representing the largest gain among all divisions. The company credits the growth to high demand for its latest wearables. As CEO Cliff Pemble said, 'We delivered another quarter of outstanding financial results with double-digit growth in every segment, driven by our strong lineup of innovative and highly differentiated products that customers desire.' What's next for Garmin? For now, the focus will most likely be on maintaining momentum and meeting users' evolving needs. But then again, we're always hoping to see a shiny new smartwatch or two...

Google just lost an appeal against opening up Google Play to Epic Games and others — what this means for you
You should probably expect to see some changes happening to Google Play in the near future, as Google has just lost its appeal in an antitrust case brought forward by Epic Games. This means the company is going to have to make some serious changes to its app store policies (via Bloomberg). The ruling comes from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and the most important part of it is that the Google Play Store needs to lift restrictions that make it harder for rival app stores to operate. Android may be a more open system than iOS, in terms of app installation, but the strict app store policies were never exclusive to Apple. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has praised the ruling, claiming that it would allow Epic to distribute its own Epic Game Store via Google Play. Essentially, this means you won't need to sideload the alternative app store. Bloomberg notes that the ruling also allows developers to set up their own billing systems, rather than filtering everything through Google Play, which involves paying Google commission on each transaction. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh said that increased third-party billing systems are the bigger problem for Google — estimating that it could be "a $1-$1.5 billion drag on the company's gross profits." Google is not particularly happy about the ruling, naturally. "This decision will significantly harm user safety, limit choice, and undermine the innovation that has always been central to the Android ecosystem," said Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google's vice president for regulatory affairs. "Our top priority remains protecting our users and developers, and ensuring a secure platform as we continue our appeal. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. From the sounds of things, this isn't the end of Google's fight, and it's likely that Google will be taking the appeals process further, and to the Supreme Court.
