I'm a sleep tech writer — my 5 top picks from the final Memorial Day sales

I'm a sleep tech writer — my 5 top picks from the final Memorial Day sales

Tom's Guide27-05-2025
As a sleep tech writer, I've tried my fair share of sleep gadgets over the last nine months — from sleep headbands to the best sunrise alarm clocks and sleep trackers, each of which can elevate your nighttime routine in its own way.
One of this year's best mattresses for your sleep style and body type should be your first investment for better sleep, but there's also plenty of sleep tech tackling specific sleep needs, be that blocking out light pollution, tracking your overnight heart rate or being soothed to sleep by sound.
The Memorial Day sleep sales are wrapping up, but there's still time to grab some lingering deals, like 38% off the Musicozy sleep headband at Amazon and $100 off the Oura Ring sleep tracker. Here's are the sleep
Oura Ring Generation 3: was from $299 now from $199 at OuraSleek and reliable, the Oura Ring Gen 3 is currently my favorite sleep tracker. Although it's not the latest model from Oura it does everything you'd want a sleep tracker to do — it measures sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep stages to collate a nightly sleep score and daily energy 'readiness' rating — all while sitting comfortably on your finger. As Oura are trying to shift their Oura Ring 3 stock (I spy an upgrade on the horizon), they have knocked $100 off select colors and designs. This means you can bag a silver or black heritage design Oura Ring 3 for just $199 now. That beats the Black Friday price by $150, but you must grab it while stocks last.
Apple Watch Series 10: was $399 now $299 at WalmartThe Apple Watch 10 is another leading, reliable sleep tracker that can help you keep tabs on your sleep metrics and day to day health. Impressively, the Apple Watch 10 also has an FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection feature alongside similar sleep tracking metrics, helping you get a handle on your sleep issues. This is the thinnest and lightest Apple watch yet. Our reviewer says: "It's the best smartwatch I've ever strapped to my wrist in terms of comfort," which is great news when you have to wear it overnight. There's up to $100 off select colors at Walmart now, reducing the Apple Watch 10 to $299 from $399.
Musicozy Sleep Headband: was $25.99 now $15.99 at AmazonThe Musicozy sleep headband is a two-in-one sleep gadget. It has built-in headphones through which you can play relaxing sleep sounds and it sits comfortably over your eyes, acting as a light-blocking sleep mask. It is made from a soft velvet, stretchy cotton that fits around your head and covers your eyes, with extra cushioning to enhance comfort no matter your sleep position. Amazon are knocking 38% off the Musicozy headband in a limited time deal bringing this budget sleep gadget to just $15.99 (was $25.99).
The Smart Cooling Mattress Topper: was from $1,399 now from $1,099 at Perfectly SnugLike the best smart beds and mattress covers you can buy right now, this smart mattress topper adds an active temperature-regulating layer to your mattress to help you beat the night sweats and sleep peacefully. This in-bed cooling system actively delivers cool air beneath you while you sleep to keep your body temperature down at the best temperature for sleeping. You can current;y save $300 with the code MEMORIAL25. At $1,599 for a queen size after this discount, it is the most expensive gadget here. But it is still much cheaper than other climate control mattress covers like the Eight Sleep Pod 4 at $2,649.
Flikeze PhotonMask Quint: was $459 now $239.99 at FlikezePrimarily a beauty product, but surprisingly a sleep-enhancing product, an LED red-light face mask is a great addition to your bedtime routine. The red light helps you relax and feel sleepy by promoting melatonin production, ultimately prompting quicker sleep onset so you don't spend crucial sleep time tossing and turning. I tested the Flikeze LED mask to see how it could help me sleep back in January and it still remains a staple in my nighttime wind-down routine. You can save $219 on this LED face mask now cutting the price to $239.99, which is a great deal on a gadget that can improve your skin health and sleep.

BLUETTI AC70 Power Station drops to an all-time low price

I am a big fan of these 'relatively portable' power stations. Their place in the market is solidifying right between the ultra-portable and the ultra-high-capacity models. You can easily take them places, but they are pretty powerful. If you're looking for one of these middle-of-the-ground batteries, there's currently a really nice sale on the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station. Buy the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station for just $328.99 ($270.01 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but you must keep in mind it is an Amazon Prime-exclusive sale. You can learn about Prime plans and pricing here. Also, new members get a free 30-day trial! You might not even have to pay to get access to this discount, and you can also look into next week's hot Prime Day sales. The BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station is usually $599. This is a 45% discount! It's easily one of the best power station deals I've seen in a while. The unit may be small at 12.4 × 8.2 × 10.1 in and relatively light at 22.5 lbs, but it is pretty capable. For starters, it has a 768Wh battery capacity. To put things into perspective, that's enough to power a fridge for nearly eight hours, a projector for six hours, or a blender for over an hour straight. Not that small devices would be a worry, but it can also charge an average phone about 24 times. And it can handle those higher-power appliances, as it has a max output of 1,000W stable and 2,000W surges. It also comes with a nice selection of ports, considering its size. You'll get two AC outlets, two 100W USB-C ports, a couple of 12W USB-A ports, and a car socket. There's also a DC input with support for up to 500W of solar panel recharging, just in case you really want to go off-grid. Another great feature is that it supports UPS, which means you can leave devices connected to it, and if there is an outage, the system will switch to battery power in 0.02 seconds. Your connected appliances will continue running without interruption! Want in on this deal? This is pretty much an early Prime Day deal, so go secure your own power station if you have made up your mind. You never know if stock will run out. It's also a record-low price, and those sales don't tend to last long.

Here's why the Oura Ring 4 is a postpartum mum's unexpected best friend

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I've been using an Apple Watch user for a while now, starting with a Series 6 and later upgrading to a Series 8 when it was released three years ago. So for about five years now, I've had a bulky square-ish dial on my wrist- and I still do, as I type this article. On the flip side, I've owned the Oura Ring 4 for only about 3 weeks now, and it has become this silent source of encouragement pushing me to take care of myself while I go about my life. As a first-time mom, my sleep cycle has been erratic, to say the least, with frequent nightly wake-ups to feed my infant. This is exactly why I needed to know if I was getting optimal rest and if my health was truly supporting my ability to function during the day. This was the primary reason behind trying out the new Oura Ring 4, which, when compared to a smartwatch, is manageable to sleep with. Now, I use the Oura Ring 4 all the time as an overall health tracker, while the Apple Watch sticks to being my fitness companion. Prime Day returns July 8th: check out our ultimate guide While setting up my Oura Ring, the app asked me a bunch of questions to determine whether I had any special circumstances or health issues that could impact my readings, to which I ticked off the option of having small kids at home, acknowledging the fact that this could affect my sleep score. For instance, after a night of only about 5.7 hours of sleep, my Oura Ring app presented a detailed picture of my breathing patterns and heart rate, in addition to the standard awake time, REM sleep, deep sleep, and so on. This analysis put things into perspective for me, and the app gave me suggestions as to how I could avoid a long afternoon nap so I could get my sleep cycle back in sync, asking me to wind down during the night with a book or a quick mindfulness session, or taking steps to improve my sleep quality at night. While the advice didn't stem from the fact that I was frequently waking up because my infant needed me, it did give me actionable items that helped me understand my sleep scores better. The Oura Ring 4 tracks sleep using a special "Smart sensing" technology that involves a combination of advanced sensors that are fitted into the ring, along with machine-learning algorithms that are specifically trained to track different stages of sleep. It also has sensors that track your oxygen, heart, and respiratory rate to understand how your body functions when you sleep. As someone who is constantly juggling multiple responsibilities — from managing my role as a News editor, and also navigating the unpredictable challenges that come with having an infant, stress can easily become something that goes under the radar, manifesting as a headache or just pure anxiety, as I transition between home and work, without a moment to myself. This is when Oura's AI-powered Advisor comes into play. The sensors constantly monitor my physiological state, and when the smart ring tracks that I'm experiencing elevated levels of stress based on my heart rate variability (HRV), the app instantly sends me a quick notification to take a look at the stats and possibly step back and "breathe the stress away" with a quick four-minute mindfulness session that gives me the much needed moment of calm amidst the daily chaos. Beyond that, the Oura Ring 4 also doubles as a subtle activity coach. Instead of constantly bugging me with reminders to "close rings", it gently nudges me to get in 3-4 minutes of movement when it detects longer periods of inactivity. While I still track my workouts with the Watch, these soft reminders from the Oura Advisor actually play a crucial role in keeping me on track with my fitness goals. While those were the main reasons why I primarily use the Oura Ring 4, I sometimes also track my steps with it when I don't have my watch on. However, another cool feature that I'm currently experimenting with is "Meals," a super-easy way to keep track of what you're eating in a day. Unlike traditional food tracking apps that require users to manually input data, which again is time-consuming to me, all I have to do is take a picture of my plate, and this AI feature will break things down for me. It shows me each "Meal Item" and the nutrients my plate contains, helping me reach for healthier options. So if you're a first-time mom juggling work and the challenges that come with having a tiny human at home, then this ring-sized motivator is for you. It will keep track of your sleep, stress, and sanity. The best part is that you don't have to reach for the charger as often as you would for an Apple Watch, as it offers up to 8 days of battery on a single charge. While the Oura Ring 4 (starting around $349) is on the more expensive side, it's worth noting that the Oura Ring 3 has currently crashed back to its lowest price at Amazon ahead of Prime Day, offering a more accessible entry point into Oura's excellent tracking capabilities. Oura Ring Gen 3 (Heritage Silver): $249.00 $199.00 at Amazon Days before Prime Day officially kicks off on July 8th, buyers can get $50 off the Oura Ring 3 smart ring, representing a 20% discount on a great last-generation device. The Oura Ring 3 has many of the features modern users want in a smart ring, including health monitoring like sleep and heart rate trackers, and the ability to use alternative apps for a wide range of other uses. Meanwhile, it looks like a simple wedding band, and you can manage all of this data using the mobile app on your Deal

The best Apple 4th of July sale includes the newest iPad and iPad mini at record-low prices

As someone who tracks Apple prices before my first cup of coffee every morning, I've got a little secret for you. Regularly checking the huge tech brand's site for sales isn't going to do much for you; it rarely discounts its own products on its own site. However, you rarely have to pay full price on sites like Amazon if you're willing to practice a little patience. And now, with Fourth of July deals (not to mention early Prime Day deals) in full swing, you can grab whatever new device you've been dreaming of for less. These markdowns include the newest iPad and iPad mini (and both of them just hit their lowest price ever).AirPods, on the other hand, have crept back up in price (though all four varieties are still discounted). Still, I expect those to fall again once Prime Day hits next week. So if you're hoping for a deal, it's worth checking deals can be as unpredictable as the summer weather, and they rarely stick around for long, so if you find a price you like, pounce on it now. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
