Birch launches new luxury organic mattress for side sleepers — and it's already 27% off
Birch has announced the latest development in eco-friendly sleep with the launch of the Birch Elite Natural Mattress, a luxury bed for side sleepers looking to indulge in greener comfort. And with 27% off Birch mattresses using code TOMS27, a queen Elite Natural is now $2,737.02 (was $3,749.33.)
Measuring 15" tall and featuring layers of organic latex foam, wool and microsprings, the Elite Natural aims to challenge the beds in our guide to the best mattresses of 2025 when it comes to pressure relief and cushioned comfort.
The high price tag is another notable feature, although the best organic mattresses are typically more expensive due to their premium materials. And with regular mattress sales (including the current 27% off discount with code TOM27), we're hoping there will be plenty of chances to save at Birch.
Birch Elite Natural Mattress: twin was $2,498.66 now $1,824.03 at BirchThe new Elite Natural Mattress from Birch uses eco-friendly materials to create a plusher, more sumptuous mattress that should deliver pressure relief for side sleepers. While a premium mattress, you can enjoy 27% off when you use code TOMS27 at Birch, reducing a queen size to $2,737.02 (was $3,749.33.)
The most luxurious mattress in the Birch line-up, the Elite Natural is also the brand's most expensive bed — and these weren't cheap mattresses to begin with. But now is a good time to buy, as you can enjoy 27% off when you use code TOMS27 at check out (plus claim two free pillows.)
Based on previous Birch sales, we expect a year-round 20% off sale, with the savings increasing around major holidays (like Black Friday). The current price of the Birch Elite Natural mattress is:
This is a premium design but organic beds overall tend to be among the most expensive mattress types. Add on the luxury finish and we'd expect a high price tag.
In comparison, Avocado has a luxury organic mattress from $8,000, while its flagship Green mattress sells at $2,099 for a queen. The Naturepedic Concerto has a similar build and finish as the Birch Elite with an MSRP of $2,799 for a queen, while Saatva's double-sided eco-Zenhaven mattress is $3,399.

Birch offers a 100-night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty with all adult mattresses. These are decent benefits (and a lifetime warranty is a step above the industry average) but considering competitors Avocado and Saatva offer 365-night trials, we might have expected more time to test the bed.
Latex mattress can have a reputation for sleeping firm (the Avocado Green is among the best firm mattresses we've tested.) This tends to make latex beds excellent mattresses for stomach sleepers and back sleepers, but not so good for side sleepers.
But the Birch Elite Natural has been designed for side sleepers and it aims to create the much-needed pressure relief using multiple layers of plush materials.
At 15 inches tall, the Birch Elite Natural features seven internal layers, plus a plush quilted pillow top. This includes layers of natural wool, natural latex foams and microsprings, to provide the body-cradling feel we expect from the best mattresses for side sleepers.
The Elite Natural doesn't hold back on support, either — the sturdy steel base seems similar to the coil support we praised in our recent Birch Luxe Natural mattress review.
We also awarded the Birch Luxe high marks for temperature regulation (five out of five stars) and with multiple coil layers and naturally breathable foams, we hope the Birch Elite will do a similar job at keeping you cool (although plusher mattresses can sometimes hold onto heat.) But if you experience regular overheating, you can opt to add cooling graphite bands for an extra charge.
As you can probably tell, we were impressed with the less luxurious (but still pretty luxury) Birch Luxe. We're hoping to get our hands on the Elite soon, to see if it can surpass its predecessor.

With the opening of Claudine, is Rhode Island ready for a fine dining comeback?
Get Rhode Map A weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Advertisement Many Rhode Island chefs steer clear of attaching themselves to a fine dining moniker altogether, wary of the baggage it carries: a high price point, pretension, exclusivity, and unsustainable economics. But walk into some of the state's most lauded restaurants and you'll find a full dining room, caviar, Advertisement For Claudine, however, embracing a The interior of Claudine, a fine dining restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island. Maurisa Arieta 'I think that when I was a young boy, fine dining was something that maybe your parents would show you, or you would see on television,' said Josh Finger, Claudine's co-founder and executive chef who believes there's a wider audience for fine dining than ever before. 'Now, with the rise of people being foodies, it's very cool. And the exposure is incredibly high, which I think only helps.' Chefs across the state embraced Claudine's arrival, but are watching closely. Some said the traditional, high pressure fine dining model comes with a unique set of challenges, but they also recognize its place in Rhode Island's culinary culture. They're also asking: Could Claudine's success set the stage for a fine dining resurgence in the smallest state? A few other 'Rhode Island is interesting because it's a microcosm of the greater world,' said Matt Jennings, who previously headed the now-shuttered Farmstead in Providence for eight years. Not long after opening Newport's 'No one wants to have a special occasion restaurant, because that's an unsustainable restaurant,' said Rojas, who previously cooked at Advertisement He expects Claudine will have a place in Rhode Island, and points to Patrons dine inside Oberlin in Providence, R.I. Brett Phelps for The Boston Globe Before Oberlin, chef Benjamin Sukle owned Birch, the tiny haute cuisine hotspot in Providence that opened in 2013. The restaurant was praised nationally, but closed six months into the pandemic. Two years later, 'When Birch closed, and then when Big King closed, I felt like, I don't say the word 'shameful,' but I felt like it was a big hole missing in what to me rounds out any place that's to be considered a dining destination,' Sukle said. No matter the concept — fine dining or fast casual — the biggest challenge is always the same: keeping the seats full. Inside of Persimmon in Providence, R.I. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff/The Boston Globe Champe Spiedel, the chef and co-owner of Persimmon in Providence, said he views Michelin-starred Per Se, Advertisement 'We want to take all the trappings — all the plates, and the silver, and the crystal, and the hospitality,' said Spiedel. 'And the food as well — I wanted the same ingredients, I just wanted to do it a different way.' Speidel, who has been nominated for multiple Many restaurants are embracing what Speidel describes as 'modern fine dining,' which strikes a balance between elevated and approachable. The debate over fine dining comes as the Michelin Guide — which recognizes outstanding restaurants with one, two, or three stars — is coming to Boston. Some chefs applauded the move. Outside of Boston, critics said they are skeptical of Michelin's traditional benchmarks, and said it overlooks smaller markets, like Rhode Island. Related : 'There are a lot of places in New England that are 'Michelin-worthy' but would never get that recognition without the guide expanding here — including my own,' Sukle Some chefs said Michelin needs to reinvent itself to stay relevant. For years, the Michelin guide awarded stars to mostly European cuisine led by white chefs. Advertisement 'I don't see Michelin as the benchmark of excellence,' said Jennings, who now lives in Vermont. 'We're seeing the adaptation to smarter menu engineering and more experiential dining.' The next wave of fine dining is not 'going to be white tablecloth candlesticks and giant Bordeaux glasses. We're headed in a new direction,' said Jennings. Michelin isn't what keeps Robert Andreozzi up at night. Though best known as the chef behind Providence's 'I hope that where that lands us is we're able to open up that premier fine dining spot,' said Andreozzi. 'I would love to do that. I think you sort of need to go into it knowing that you're not going to make any money.' Opening any restaurant remains a challenge: real estate is scarce, build outs are pricey, and banks are hesitant to invest. 'I hope Claudine is successful in that regard. We need a restaurant like that, and a restaurant like that being successful is going to inspire another young chef to take that risk and open up,' said Andreozzi. Nicks on Broadway chef and owner Derek Wagner. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff Derek Wagner agreed that there's been a 'broadening' of what fine dining means in the years since he opened Nicks on Broadway in 2002. At the time, he wanted it to be a place 'where my peers could come and eat — the musicians, students, and the artists — and can experience fine dining in an approachable way.' Advertisement Wagner said he crafts his menus to express a sense of place, and today's fluidity of fine dining's definition allows chefs like him to be creative in every facet of the dining experience. He said he's unsure if a typical fine dining restaurant's priorities 25 years ago included ethos, staff welfare, farmer welfare, community engagement — all a driving force behind Nicks. Just a few weeks into service, Claudine is betting on it. Chefs and co-owners Josh Finger and Maggie McConnell in front of their restaurant Claudine in downtown Providence, R.I. Maurisa Arieta The restaurant is the dream of chef-owners Maggie McConnell and Finger, who met at Per Se in New York. McConnell, a Providence native and former pastry chef at The French Laundry, always imagined returning home to open a restaurant. 'Josh and I separately have both dreamed of Claudine our whole lives, and then upon meeting and falling in love, Claudine became a reality,' said McConnell. McConnell said the word the couple keeps coming back to is 'intentionality,' which she explained manifests in everything, including the decor, menu, and beverage service. Every dish is chosen with purpose, and the tasting menu is meant to be conceived as an entire body of work. 'We want everybody to feel like they're comfortable here,' said Finger. 'With fine dining, some people might find it to be stuffy, and that's one thing that we really want to break down the walls on.'

Wayfair (W) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know
What Happened? Shares of online home goods retailer Wayfair (NYSE:W) jumped 4% in the afternoon session after the company announced a major "Black Friday in July" sales event and an analyst from Wells Fargo raised the company's price target. The positive momentum came as Wayfair announced a five-day sales event with prices up to 80% off, which began with early access on Wednesday. This move to stimulate consumer spending was complemented by a bullish analyst note. Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem reaffirmed an "Overweight" rating on the stock and increased the price target by 30%, citing a positive outlook on the company's future performance. The advance was also supported by a broader rally in the consumer retail sector, which was lifted by fresh data showing an unexpected rebound in U.S. retail sales. According to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report, retail sales rose 0.6% in June, beating expectations and signaling that consumer spending remained resilient. The report highlighted particular strength in non-store retailers, which includes e-commerce companies like Wayfair, with sales in that category climbing 4.5% from the prior year. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $62.49, up 3.4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Wayfair? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Wayfair's shares are extremely volatile and have had 56 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 12 days ago when the stock dropped 3.3% on the news that the Trump administration announced intentions to impose a 35% tariff on many goods imported from Canada. This move is far more than a typical trade dispute; it targets the United States' largest and most deeply integrated trading partner. Canada is not merely a neighbor but a critical component of North American supply chains, particularly in sectors like automotive, energy, and critical minerals. This move has sparked concerns about potential retaliatory actions and a wider impact on the North American economy, leading to a risk-off sentiment among investors. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all opened lower, pulling back from recent record highs and heading for their first weekly loss in three weeks. Wayfair is up 35.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $62.49 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Wayfair's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $286.63.

Forget T-Mobile and Verizon — Visible's unlimited cell phone plan hits an all-time low cost of $19/month
I thought its Black Friday deal was hard to beat, but Visible brought back its $20/month unlimited cell phone plan deal for a limited time back in June. If you missed out on taking advantage of that, then you're in luck because now you can get it at a lower price. For a limited time, Visible is offering its unlimited cell phone plan at an all-time low cost of $19/month to new customers. That's a savings of 24% off from the usual $25/month rate that the wireless carrier offers year round. In order to get it down to $19/month, you need to apply the code "6OFF12" at checkout. Don't hold off on getting this offer because it'll expire by August 20. Visible: was $25/month now $19/month @ VisibleStop overpaying for your wireless cell phone service because Visible has its unlimited cell phone plan down to its all-time lowest cost at $19/month. On top of unlimited data, talk, and text, you also get unlimited mobile hotspot and international service to Canada and Mexico. If you need the fastest speeds, you can get more of it by upgrading to Visible+ and Visible+ Pro. Use code 6OFF12 at checkout to get this deal. I've been on the base Visible plan for a long while now and I have to say it's been reliable. The $19/month plan does have perks beyond unlimited data, talk, and text. You also get unlimited mobile hotpot to share your data connection with other devices, along with unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada. Although it's all-you-can-eat data, just know that speeds could be temporarily slowed down. If you want the fastest speeds and other additional perks, you can opt to go with Visible+ or Visible+ Pro — which are priced at $29 and $39 per month respectively with this deal. Visible+ does provide you with premium data that doesn't get throttled and also includes smartwatch services, while Visible+ Pro offers faster mobile hotspot speeds, broader international calling, up to 4K video streaming quality, and more. Visible is the reason why I refuse to switch back to a traditional wireless carrier. Not only does it offer one of the best cheap cell phone plans around, it's also proven to be extremely reliable. In fact, I haven't experienced any outages in my two years of being with the carrier — unlike T-Mobile and Verizon. And finally, I really like the flexibility of knowing that my end of the month cost is always the same because it includes taxes and other fees.
