Ignore the back to school checklists — this is the one thing your kid really needs to sleep well at college
Research has shown good sleep helps you learn and while the best mattresses we've tested might be beyond a student budget, a new bed chosen for your needs can help you achieve quality sleep (and maybe even higher grades, although a mattress alone can't replace studying.)
I've searched thousands of Amazon listings and in my opinion, the best Prime Day mattress deals 2025 are on budget beds. That's good news for college students — these twin XL mattress deals are perfect for your dorm room.
And don't forget to check out our guide to the best Prime Day sleep deals, for savings on college essentials like ear plugs and eye masks.
1. Siena 8" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $189.99 now $149 at AmazonSiena is responsible for the best cheap mattress we've tested and if you want a bed to see you through college and beyond, I recommend checking out the Siena 10" Memory Foam Mattress from $149 at Amazon. But if your budget is too tight, the 8" Siena should deliver similar support and comfort, if slightly less longevity and pressure relief. Still, we predict it should keep you snoozing through undergrad. And with a twin XL only $149, it's easy on the wallet. Plus, you get a 180-night trial and 10-year warranty.
User score: ★★★★½ (700+ reviews)
2. EGOHOME 10" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $153.50 now $139.87 at AmazonWe recently tested a couple of EGOHOME mattresses and this budget brand has impressed us with the overall quality at a low price. While we haven't tried the 10" model, our EGOHOME 12" Memory Foam Mattress review team praised the pressure relief of this all-foam design. The best memory foam mattresses cushion the body where you press into the bed, so we think this is a good choice for side sleepers. $139.87 for a twin XL isn't an unusual deal from EGOHOME but it's still an impressive price, particularly if you want to get the most out of your money.
User score: ★★★★½ (1,600+ reviews)
3. Novilla 10" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $146.73 now $129.99 at AmazonI often spot Novilla among the best selling mattresses on Amazon and this budget-brand has plenty of affordable picks for anyone heading to college. My top choice is the 10" Memory Foam Mattress, now $129.99 for a twin XL on Amazon (was $146.73.) That's the cheapest it's been in a while and it comes with a 100-night trial and 10-year warranty. At 10" thick it's deep enough to support adult bodies and the shaped foam layer enhances breathability, to help you sleep cooler.

HP Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer Is Going for Peanuts, Even Though It Just Launched
Paperwork has a funny habit of showing up at the worst times. One moment you are enjoying a quiet evening, the next you need to print shipping labels, copy insurance cards, or scan homework before the school bus arrives. Keeping a dependable printer within arm's reach turns those little emergencies into quick tasks instead of mini crises. The HP DeskJet 2827e Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer handles printing, copying, and scanning in one compact unit that will not crowd the desk or the household budget. Head over to Amazon to get the HP DeskJet 2827e Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer for just $63, down from its usual price of $85. That's a nearly 30% off. See at Amazon First-time setup is refreshingly simple. Plug in the printer, download the HP Smart app, and follow a guided walkthrough that pairs the printer to your Wi-Fi network in minutes. HP's self-healing technology keeps the connection stable, so you will not spend Saturday morning wrestling with error codes. Once online you can print straight from phones, tablets, Chromebooks, or traditional computers without hunting for cables. The built-in scanner feeds clear PDF copies back to the app, ready for email or cloud storage. Speed is solid for everyday needs. Black-and-white documents pop out quickly for last-minute school forms, and borderless photo mode turns family snapshots into bright keepsakes without a trip to the drugstore. Each purchase includes six free months of HP's Instant Ink program if you activate the HP Plus benefits during setup. The printer tracks ink levels automatically and ships refills before you run dry, so late-night projects keep moving instead of stalling at a blank page. Controls stay friendly even for first-time users. A small front panel handles one-button copies while status lights warn when paper or ink runs low. The rear tray supports envelopes and cardstock, great for holiday cards or handmade invitations, and the flatbed scanner captures receipts, artwork, and recipes up to letter size. Voice assistant support lets you ask Alexa or Google to print a checklist while your hands wash dishes. At roughly six pounds the DeskJet 2827e slips onto a shelf and powers down automatically during long breaks to save energy. HP builds the chassis with recycled plastics and ships cartridges in recyclable packaging, adding an eco-conscious touch to every print run. The HP DeskJet 2827e Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer is available for $63 on Amazon, a tidy savings compared with its regular $85 price. See at Amazon

Amazon Deals of the Day: Take $50 Off Our Favorite Outdoor Security Camera
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech gear and furniture. As much as the retail giant loves adding new products, it also loves cutting prices. Deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we found one of our favorite outdoor security cameras for 20% off. We also found the Eufy C20 vacuum for almost $300 off. And lastly, we spotted the Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite tablet for only $10 more than the record low price. Keeping an eye on your home while you're away is super important. Not just to see when your Amazon deliverys arrive, but to steer away any potential burglars. One of our favorite outdoor security cameras, especially for use without Wi-Fi, is the Arlo Go 2. We love it because it has excellent LTE options for zones outside of Wi-Fi but you can still use Wi-Fi to save data. It has a spotlight and night vision included. This way you'll be able to spot just about everything that's going on outside your home. It also has two-way audio so you can communicate with whomever is at your home. And since it's an outdoor cam, it has good weather protection so you won't have to worry about rain or anything destroying your camera. The only thing our experts didn't like is the cost of the camera. Thankfully, you can take $50 off, bringing the price from $250 to $200, a nice 20% discount. If you're still cleaning your floors yourself, it's time for an upgrade. The Eufy Omni C20 is both a robot vacuum and mop combo. It has a powerful 7,000 Pa suction that lifts all kinds of dirt and debris from your floors and carpets seemlessly. Its made with a slim design which helps it to get under furniture to clean areas an ordinary vacuum cleaner wouldn't be able to get to, ensuring a spotless clean. It's also made with a pro-detangle brush is perfect for sweeping up hairs, both your hair and your furry friends' fur. The Omni C20's mop supports up to 180 rotations per minute to give you the best clean without lifitng a finger. A device this fancy certainly doesn't come cheap. It listed at an eye opening $700. But thanks to a 40% discount, you're paying only $420. It's still a big amount but it's a savings of almost $300. If you're looking to get a new tablet, you know how expensive they've gotten. A good way to get around this is by opting for one that might be a generation or so older. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has just over a 10-inch display screen with 2K resolution and uses Dolby Atmos surround sound to give you great visuals and audio. It even comes with the S Pen stylus for note taking, drawing and more. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite in one of three colors, mint, chiffon pink or Oxford gray, and all three colors are on sale. This tablet is normally $330 but today you can payonly $210. Although it's not a record low price, it's only $10 more than the record low price we saw during last year's October Prime Day sale. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to check out.
