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.

World Cup expected to give NY, NJ economy a $3 billion boost

New York and New Jersey officials are expecting to score a $3.3 billion boost when the World Cup soccer tournament returns to the US next year for the first time in more than three decades, according to a report released Monday. MeLlife Stadium, home of the Jets and Giants in East Rutherford, NJ, will host eight matches, including the final — which are projected to generate $1.3 billion in total labor income and $1.7 billion in spending by attendees and fans flocking to metropolitan area, according to the report by the NY/NJ Host Committee. 3 Paris Sant-Germain fans gathered in Times Square on July 11, 2025 ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2025 final match. AFP via Getty Images The expanded 48-team tournament, which run from June 11 to July 19, is expected to be the most highly attended in FIFA history — with an estimated 6 million fans converging on host cities in the US, Canada and Mexico. More than 1.2 million tourists are expected to travel to the New York-New Jersey region for the games, according to the report, which was co-authored by Tourism Economics, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Oxford Economics. 'It's a legacy-defining opportunity to create lasting economic and social impact for New York and New Jersey,' Alex Lasry, CEO of the NYNJ Host Committee, said in a statement. 3 The match attendance for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in New Jersey earlier this month.

The host states will also enjoy an additional $432 million in state and local tax revenues, according to the analysis. President Trump has hinted that he has high hopes for next year's event, even as his hefty tariffs have heightened tensions with foreign countries. 'Tensions are a good thing,' Trump said during a FIFA task force meeting at the White House earlier this year when asked how his policies could affect the World Cup. 'It'll make it more exciting,' he added. The US last hosted the world's premiere soccer tournament in 1994.

The Best Savings Strategy in an Uncertain Economy Is a Boring One

Stability can be a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to your money. Deagreez/Getty Images We've all had enough economic excitement this year. From tariffs and inflation to layoffs and recession fears, daily headlines are a nonstop barrage of bad news that threatens our financial security. That's one of the reasons I'm all for opening a certificate of deposit right now. CDs aren't as sexy as investments like cryptocurrency or timing the stock market. But that's what makes them perfect in today's precarious economy. Here's why you should consider opening a CD as part of your money strategy. Read more: The Economy Sucks Right Now. Take Your Revenge With This New Money Trend Stability in this economy? Yes, please CDs have long been a go-to option for people who want a safe place to keep their cash. But they're especially valuable when the economy is as rough as it is right now. Your annual percentage yield is fixed when you open a CD, so your earnings stay the same regardless of where interest rates go after that. That means you can predict precisely how much your CD will be worth when the time is up. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates this year, so now's the time to lock in an APY up to 4.50%. It can help you maximize your returns and shield your money from stubborn inflation. Plus, CDs are protected by federal deposit insurance if you open one at an FDIC-insured bank or NCUA-insured credit union. That means your money is safe (up to $250,000 per deposit, account category and institution) if the bank fails. Don't overlook high-yield savings accounts CDs are ideal for savings goals with a specific timeline, like buying a car or throwing a wedding. However, you must keep your money in a CD for the full term, or you'll face an early withdrawal penalty that will cut into your total earnings. If you're building an emergency fund, you're better off opening a high-yield savings account. Your APY will be variable, which means it could change at any time, but you'll be able to take out cash whenever you need it, penalty-free. And many top high-yield savings account APYs are on par with today's best CD rates. HYSAs also allow you to add money over time. Wth a CD, most banks require you to have all your funds in hand the moment you open an account.

Scientists make concerning discovery about hidden dangers lurking in popular clothing material: 'A one-way ticket to … disposal'

Scientists make concerning discovery about hidden dangers lurking in popular clothing material: 'A one-way ticket to … disposal' As consumer demand for eco-friendly fashion options rises, the retail side sees dollar signs — and a new Wired piece about the role of recycled polyester illustrates why making sustainable choices is a quagmire of confusion even when shoppers do their due diligence. What's happening? Market research shared by CapitalOne in March indicated an impressive 89% of consumers worldwide "have changed their shopping habits to be more eco-friendly." Polyester, a synthetic, petroleum-derived form of plastic common in textiles, is in almost everything when it comes to apparel. A 2021 editorial in the Guardian estimated polyester is in "two-thirds of our clothing," a presence often concealed by its versatility. Sustainability can be difficult to define and quantify — particularly at a time when temptingly cheap fast fashion is everywhere — and Wired's deep dive into myriad concerns about recycled polyester encapsulates that conundrum. The outlet visited North Carolina-based textile manufacturer Unifi, known in part for turning recycled plastic bottles into desirable name-brand products. On the surface, that sounds like a step in the right direction, but the details are more complicated. Critics of recycled polyester have deemed that the entire practice is greenwashing — when businesses or corporations leverage sustainability for marketing purposes without real action behind it. The issues raised in the piece hint at the intricate nuances shoppers encounter when trying to buy sustainably. It stands to reason that recycling is necessarily good, but one advocate for sustainable fashion explained that it isn't always the case, particularly with recycled polyester. "If you're using plastic bottles, you're actually taking bottles out of a potentially closed-loop recycling system, and then giving them a one-way ticket to a landfill disposal," said George Harding-Rolls. "We're awash in a sea of green claims that are incredibly difficult to decipher," he observed. Why does it matter? As Harding-Rolls pointed out, even consumers who do their best to support eco-friendly brands have a hard time evaluating claims about a product's environmental impact. Which of these factors would most effectively motivate you to recycle old clothes and electronics? Giving me money back Letting me trade for new stuff Making it as easy as possible Keeping my stuff out of landfills Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. There's not necessarily a clear line in logic from "recycled polyester" to "microplastics" — Harding-Rolls said he didn't think most consumers understood the link — and some experts say the problem goes deeper. Much of Wired's coverage focused on the North Carolina facility itself, citing "legitimate questions" about exposure to microplastics for workers and nearby residents. What can shoppers do about it? Retail demand for sustainable apparel options has created a marketing feedback loop of sorts, and it's harder than ever for shoppers to identify true eco-conscious options. Identifying brands with verified environmentally-friendly practices in advance is a good strategy. In addition to reducing confusion at the register, it rewards conscientious retailers with repeat business.
